The Strongest Beast Tamer 171 Angering The Queen

Anne who was originally confident in her weapon was seen fleeing from the scene, the cannon floating just behind her in the air. The group watched as she ran, chuckled and then turned to the ants which were flying towards them. They numbered roughly a hundred thousand, their bodies covered their skies and if the sun was in the right position, the ants could easily blot it out.

The group, currently standing on the edge of the island with their tames all summoned waited patiently for the ants to make it over. Simon was the first to step forward, his blood rushing through his veins at the sight of so many ants rushing towards him. "Alright, I'll take care of them, you all can take care of any stragglers."

"Huh, why do you get to take care of them? Shouldn't I be the one taking care of them? I got the fire control," Joe asked in annoyance as Sandy snorted out a burst of fire. It looked towards the three birds and its eyes squinted. "I can just use Sandy's special ability and they'll all be burnt alive."

"Your ability is one which pretty much heavily changes the field and increases your dog's strength right?" Simon asked for confirmation as he didn't turn to face Joe. He just continued looking right at the ant horde which was getting closer and closer.

"Well yeah, which is why I'll do great against them," Joe responded.

Chloe shook her head. "How are you supposed to change the battlefield in the skies?"

"Uh," Joe finally realised what they were getting out. He felt as though he wanted to stick his head in the ground and hide it. Joe just hadn't fought in such a long time, nor has he used Sandy's special ability in so long, he's grown rather rusty in terms of fighting.

"So how about you do this instead: take to the ground and head towards the large mound, once there, you're going to activate Sandy's special ability turn that ant mound into a lava pit. Then, you're going to retreat a bit away and wait for the queen to come out. In which case, you and Phoebe can fight," Simon explained his plan of attack. He knew a bit about ants, they fight for their queen. So, why don't they just send a couple of people to take off the leader's head?

"And if Sandy's special ability doesn't work properly, I'll take control and get my crocodiles to flood the entire place," Chloe said as her crocodiles clapped their teeth together loudly, the four of them stood in a line, waiting for Chloe's commands.

"Alright." Joe nodded before turning to Phoebe, waiting to receive a confirmation for her agreement as well. Finally, although slightly hesitant, she agreed to the plan. Two of her turtles were behind her, waiting patiently as water appeared beneath them, lifting them a few centimetres off the ground.

The two hopped down from the island, narrowly avoiding the group ants. The group on top prepared themselves, the ants just about reached them, and Simon was the one to initiate the charge, his three birds taking into the air as they dashed towards the ants.

The three birds had their elements surrounding their bodies, giving them a layer of protection as they tore through the horde of ants. Fortunately, although powerful in numbers, once matched against a beast that's leagues above them, they were easily decimated.

Georgia leapt off the edge of the island, Kyle flying just a metre above her as they charged directly into the centre of the ant horde. Her wings were spread although she didn't need them, they made her slightly more aerodynamic. Her hidden blades extending out her sleeves as she sliced through the necks and stabbed deep into the ant's head. Kyle rushed through the crowd of ants, shadow hands extending from the shadow beneath his wings, helping him tear through any ant he might have missed by accident.

Flynn stood there with the gravity stone in his hand, although he wasn't able to fight he was at least able to watch the fight through. With the gravity stone, he was completely safe so Chloe could also fight without constantly looking back.

Her crocodiles were on the edge of the island chomping violently, they couldn't exactly do much due to them being grounded and their control over water being rather low. They waited patiently till the ants got closer to the island; when the ants landed the crocodiles dashed forward, biting firmly onto the ants' legs before spinning their bodies vigorously, tearing the ants apart.

Some ants managed to break through their first defensive line and headed for the tree line, they were swiftly halted by the group's gravity defence system. Zoe stood behind them with her double sides war scythe, whenever she had time she would train for hours on end, learning how to wield the scythe properly without injuring herself.

Her frogs were right behind her, their mouths opening slightly as they tongues glided across their lips. They were thoroughly salivating at the sight of so many delicious insects. They haven't gotten to have a good-sized meal in so long due to them never coming across insects so high in the sky.

'Hey, keep it together. Remember, you have a limited amount of s.p.a.ce in your bodies, don't go attempting to swallow every single ant down, that's now possible' Zoe knew what they were thinking and shook her head. 'And before you even make that comment Bag, no, no you also have a limited amount of s.p.a.ce as well.'

'Tsk, at least I have more s.p.a.ce in myself them these bags of fat' Bag responded in a grumpy elderly voice, it was coa.r.s.e and sounded like something that would come out of an old veteran. Currently, he was still unsummoned since he couldn't fight.

'At least we aren't short old man' Venom snarked angrily in a mans as his stomach gurgled. 'Anyway, I'm off to get myself something to eat. And Zoe, don't tell me what I can and can't fit inside my stomach, all these ants are going to be there, and I could go into hibernation for a millennium.'

Venom jumped forward, his tongue struck out swiftly, the tip of it wrapping itself around one of the confused ants. Its eyes widened as it felt a sudden tug from behind, his whole body went along with it uncontrollably and soon his eyes were only filled with darkness. It felt something bite strongly around its abdomen before dying.

Rob stood there motionless, the ants walked up to it cautiously but once they noticed it wasn't paying attention to them, they dashed forward. Climbing around its body they began attempting to sink their fangs into his skin. Unfortunately, Rob had a high amount of strength which meant his defence was just as strong.

The ants' fangs were able to pa.s.s through even the first laying of skin. Instead, they sc.r.a.pped likely on the slimy substance Rob covered himself in naturally. The ants which even just likely grazed past Rob felt their bodies weaken as their vision faded.

His poisonous body was something he relied heavily upon, he didn't even need to move and now he was a buffet of snacks just waiting for him patiently. Facing one of the corpses his tongue struck out violently, grabbing hold of the corpse's head before dragging it through the air into its mouth. The ant's carapace was slightly hard, but Rob's strength was stronger.

His gnawing created crunching sounds, similar to breaking dry bark.

Zoe decided to finally join in on the battle once ants began to swarm her. Since their attempts at getting further into the island were futile, they may as well kill what they can. Their large bodies blocked at her vision but that didn't bother her.

The scythe lifted off the ground before spinning violently through the air, Zoe was holding it with one hand. She began walking forward, the ants pounced on her as their fangs were clamping together erratically before they had their entire head sliced off.

Zoe tore through the ants on the ground singlehandedly, her scythe pierced through the air meeting its target one after the other. Chloe nodded in approval at the sight before focusing on her battle, raising her battle-axe high in the air she swung down, smashing one of the ant's head into smithereens

…

Back on the ground, Joe and Phoebe were making their way to the ant mound. Their travel wasn't ever interrupted, the beasts that would be wandering through the city had all been killed by the ants and the ants were busy dealing with the rest of the group on the island.

Once reached the mound they scaled up it a bit until they reached a spot where they would think is the centre. A cave entrance was there, it was deathly silent as a haunting breeze swished out of the cave, blowing around Phoebe's hair.

"Phoebe, you wait here, I'm going in with Sandy to deal the most amount of damage," Joe said before rushing off, not allowing Phoebe to responded.

Now, Phoebe stood outside the cave patiently with two of her turtles by her side. In her hands were two, 17-inch daggers. She waited patiently for another 5 minutes before the mound began to rumble and an intense heat poured out of the cave-like a thick gas.

Faith covered them all with a thick layer of water before bringing them into the air with his exceptional water control. They looked down to the mound and noticed that lava began to spew from the sides, loud injured and mournful roars came from the cave.

Joe dashed out the cave on top of Sandy before taking to the air, an ant claw stretched out of the cave and Phoebe's eyes contracted. Just the girth of the claw itself was 2 metres, the roars got louder and louder as the mount began to crumble.

"Joe, what did you do?" Phoebe asked loudly as Joe finally reached them in the skies.

"What do you think? I obviously went for the heart of the mound, where the queen was currently laying hundreds of thousands of eggs. I couldn't exactly let all those eggs hatch, so I got Sandy to use the special ability there," Joe explained as he took a large gulp of air. "In the end, all the eggs were broken, and the ant queen was slightly injured. Unfortunately, because it didn't die, it's really p.i.s.sed off."

Just as Joe finished his explanation the mound ruptured like a volcano, but instead of lava spewing out it was a ma.s.sive queen ant. Its dark red body was roughly 25 metres long, its wingspan was about 40 metres as it hovered in the air at their height.

It looked towards Joe and its eyes were filled with anger and hatred, the heat it was radiating was immense as the buildings nearby began to melt. They slowly backed away because Faith was slightly struggling to keep up its water control, the heat was causing it to boil and evaporate.

"Oh boy, how are we supposed to beat that thing?" Phoebe asked loudly as she pointed towards the ant queen, her hand shaking violently. Although they were strong, just the sheer size of the beast was enough to put them off of the task. Its carapace was likely a metre or two thick, her blades weren't able to pierce that.

"Obviously, by fighting it," Joe responded nonchalantly as he whipped out his spear from his back. Its blood-red blade glistened in the sunlight.
