NOVPUBPov Kiara:
I was flying after the Fairy who is the Familiar of the great Zenos, I remember her, there are stories about her in the library, she was someone created by Zenos himself and his first Familiar. 𝒏𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝒐𝒎
I followed her to a forest where she uses two trees to create a portal that I enter in a snap of my fingers, I enter the same portal and looking around I realize that we are on the city floor once again.
"Come this way." (Layla)
Layla takes me once again to another place, this time it was the Zenos Mansion, her residence where the Temple of the Fairies is also located, which is where we went.
As soon as I entered the garden I could feel the different atmosphere, inside the Dungeon Zenos’ power is almost perpetual like a background sound, but here Layla’s presence is like being surrounded by water in the ocean, there’s no way not to notice it.
There were many Fairies around us, they were mainly flying around Layla who just waved her hand and it was like a signal making everyone move away leaving just the two of us here.
"< Territory >" (Layla)
The whole world seemed to shake as the garden around us stopped expanding and the mansion changed, becoming larger, more open and filled with plants, in the sky the shadow of tree branches.
"Inside my house I can build a very different Territory based on my Magical Kingdom, I discovered that Rosane." (Layla)
"Amazing, there is so much..." (I)
I was close to praising her but suddenly I felt a sense of danger, but I didn’t know from which direction the sense of danger was coming from and in the meantime the Fairy takes the form of someone at the beginning of 17 or 18, her wings disappear as She comes closer to me with an amused smile on her face.
"You know, the master can be an idiot sometimes, but he is someone so responsible that he can be annoying." (Layla)
"..." (I)
While she was talking to me, her hands were checking my entire body, lingering more on the parts of my Insect exoskeleton and antenna.
"As much as you received Zenos’ approval, it doesn’t mean you deserve this power he offered, but don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against you." (Layla)
"(I can’t move...)" (I)
For some reason my body was immobile I couldn’t move and a strange sensation took over my entire body, even so my mind was more concentrated on what she was saying, receiving the power of a Herald means spending eternity next to the Great Zenos, I can’t miss this opportunity.
"Zenos asked his Familiars to try you and chose who would be in charge of whom, I was in charge of you." (Layla)
"His mind works strangely, so he left it to someone smarter like me to take care of you, so feel honored." (Layla)
"I don’t know how Nix and Sakura are going to do things, I know they said something to the master about it, but I was eating and I didn’t pay attention, they all think too much." (Layla)
"..." (I)
This time I understood what was happening, Layla was expelling any type of power that wasn’t magical out of my body, my Ki was being forced to disperse as well as the Holy Power.
My entire body was vibrating inside and my Aura was trying to stop it using my Authority, but my Aura was completely suppressed and my Authority felt like it had hit a metal wall.
"Knowing those two, they must have invented something complicated, a useless effort." (Layla)
I couldn’t move even to speak but my eyes and other senses still work, I felt and saw parts of several magic circles on my body, they were disappearing inside me one at a time in different places and I couldn’t feel them within a few seconds after entering.
"What did they call it again? Was it an ordeal, a test or a test?" (Layla)
"I guess it doesn’t matter much in the end." (Layla)
"..." (I)
"What was I talking about again? Oh yeah, I was talking about the test." (Layla)
"Anyway, all you have to do is fight them, pretty easy, right?" (Layla)
She points in a direction and I see hundreds if thousands of Fairies of different colors approaching like a cloud of insects, even in my current state I was able to feel the elemental torrent that their united presences formed.
"You will feel each of the elements and the magic of the world in your own body, so I’m sure it will serve as an ordeal." (Layla)
"Of course you can only use magic to fight, that’s why I got rid of the other types of energy." (Layla)
"Finish them all and you pass, so good luck." (Layla)
Saying this she disappeared from my front and little by little my body began to move, a little stiff at first, but in a short time I was able to move and that was when the Fairies were almost here.
"Damn it!!" (I)
I always heard that of all Zenos’s Familiars, his first Familiar was the most bloodthirsty of all, loving to fight and massacre enemies, but I thought they were just rumors since the Fairies are not known for their violence, now I see that the rumors were certain.
I can’t let the enemies get any closer and I need to maintain an advantageous position.
"(This is a Territory, there is no way to maintain an advantageous position here and they clearly have many different elements.)" (I)
"What can I do...?" (I)
I had to think, attacking now was almost useless, I don’t know their numbers or way of attacking and I’m not sure of the Fairies’ strength, I don’t know if they will fight individually or as a collective in harmony.
Carrying out an attack first would give them an opening to attack, I need to take control in a way.
"(I have to use that.)" (I)
"< Summon Magic: Imperial Guard > ×10" (I)
I open the Hive space by removing 2 golden eggs that appear to be made of metal, they are all the high quality eggs that I have, I haven’t paid much attention to my strength since I was taken in by the great Zenos, I was foolish to let myself become so dependent on them.
Using the Golden Eggs as the core, my blood as the nutrient, and my Aura as the incubator, I feel the Power being drained from me, but at the same time I feel the Power being drained from the surroundings.
"Since I am in an environment so rich in elemental power, then it would be a crime not to make use of such wealth." (I)
Insects consume everything and adapt to everything, unlike other races we are not able to adapt as individuals, but we are able to compensate for this by adapting to each generation in an explosive way.
The 10 eggs I used absorb elemental energy, as Empress I use my bloodline as a nutrient to transform each one of them into guardian queens, I also make each egg absorb only 1 type of element, giving priority to the Space, Earth and Dark elements which can be useful in a tactical way whether in defense or attack.
Each of the eggs creates a column of elemental energy, it only took me a few seconds to react since Layla put me in this situation, but even so the Fairies are too close now, it will take me some time.
From the 10 columns of elemental energy, 10 Auras with increasing power appear linked to me, I use the power of these Auras in layers one after the other, exploding like a thick Multi Aura wall, keeping enemies away and leaving the Fairies confused.
Using this time I was able to think better about what to do and I was already accumulating power in my core, I needed to wait for the right moment for the next step and it wouldn’t take long.
I waited a few more tens of seconds while the eggs grew to over 2 meters tall, I really wanted to mark them with Zenos’ Holy Power, but Layla took even that away from me.
As soon as the eggs began to crack, their Aura began to grow several times, even so I kept this growth contained until they were about to hatch.
Crack!!
"Now!!" (I)
"< Summon Magic: Swarm of Soldiers > ×100" (I)
As the 10 golden eggs began to crack, I sweat their Auras exploding outwards like a storm-like attack blowing away and injuring thousands of Fairies that were less than 300 meters away from me.
I also took advantage of the explosive power of eggs to supplement the power needed for a Mass Summon using regular eggs, each egg gives rise to 100 soldier-type insects.
Using the Power of the Guardian Queens to supplement my power, I have already hatched each with 10 eggs each creating a 3-layer Aura chain of command.
Ordinary eggs explode instantly, causing troops to spawn without needing the Aura incubator for more than 2 seconds.
Using the Power of the Guardian Queens, each army had a different element, each of them had their own powers and could act only as a central commander to guide the strategy.
"Now Fight!!!" (I)
In a fight of such a scale, I as an individual would do little for myself, this is the best way for me to overcome this ordeal or test to show that I am worthy of the recognition of the great Zenos.
"(I will win this battle!)" (I)
