I'm The supreme Fairy King

Chapter 232: Dragging The Queen Out

This shout made Jim move instantly and run towards the front. Despite him moving towards the pit, getting nearer with each step he took, he didn't hesitate to do so.

"The closer to the danger the safer I get... How ironic!" he couldn't help but sneer while being so close to the pit and even the threads coming forth were all visible to him.

"Don... do you magic kid," he said to his pet and the next moment a roar reverberated in this dark place of the cave.

"Rumble!"

And next the entire cave vibrated again and this time Jim could hear the curses of Tom and the two others standing further to the back.

After all they all knew this was the doing of his pet.

"Boom!"

Yet all of sudden a large piece of the cave ceiling got separated and fell all the way down towards the pit. Its descent came so sudden and strangely enough its size perfectly fit the opening.

"Oh, I love you so much," Jim laughed while watching the threatening threads get smashed under the heavy rock before he could hear a series of bangs and loud shrieks coming from the depth of the pit.

"Screw you," he suddenly jumped over the pit edge and even stuck out his tongue to those situated down below.

Standing there with his body lightened by the effect of the spell made him very easy to be seen, but his tongue wasn't visible enough to anyone.

However his attitude and words made it clear what he was doing there.

"What the hell are you doing?" Tom screamed in panic, "just keep running, we need it to  be dragged out now!"

"Retreat!" Jim jumped off the edge and started running.

"What did you do?" Reg couldn't help but shout in an alarming tone.

"See for yourself," but Jim motioned simply towards the first pit where the three others froze for a moment before realizing everything.

"You damn brat! You played us all!" Tom cursed and strangely enough he was laughing as well.

After all that lizard was now all over the ground, fighting a deadly battle with many dark hunters.

"They are aiming for her, not Hector or the others," Jim noticed this before adding, "weird."

"It's not a common thing for a hunter to feast on the blood and flesh of the pit queen," Larry laughed, "this is our win."

"Don't celebrate too soon," Tom said in his deep tone, "we still have a large number of monsters to kill."

"Monsters were never a problem for the boss and us," Reg confidently said.

"What about the rest of the hunters?" Tom persisted.

"I can handle them now," Jim confidently said, "like Larry said, it's our win."

"Yeah yeah, at least I'll get seventy percent of you two shares," Tom laughed and this time the other two hard dark faces when they recalled the deal they had with him.

And Jim just kept his silence, not interfering in such matters.

"The queen is losing," Jim noticed the weakening of the lizard moves and the fierceness of the darkness around her.

"That's normal,"Reg said in a cheerful tone, "after all she lived her entire life in darkness, embracing and not fighting it."

"Hmm... pretty interesting theory," Jim nodded while running as fast as he could with the three others. "What about the first pit?"

"What about it?" Larry asked back, "as long as we don't trespass over their territory again, none will come to bother us."

"But this pit has no queen to defend it now," Tom said another dark thought of his.

"That's not the issue," Reg was aware of his friend's dark nature, "the main issue is they need to exit the pit to go after us. And they won't."

"Yeah, rot in there motherf*ckers!" Larry turned his head and cursed the other pit monsters while Jim only laughed at his actions.

"I should have said that line to them back there," he said.

"Yeah, it sounds great, right?" Larry said with a grin before the four of them finally reached the place of Hector and his group.

"Good job," Hector patted Jim's shoulder, "I thought we won't make it for a moment there."

"We... had some trouble back there," Jim said.

"What trouble?" Hector asked before his eyes shone with realization, "the other pit... yeah, it should be near. I missed that part."

"No problem, we fought their queen and managed to escape it safely."

"You... faced another queen?" Hector was shocked there for a brief second before laughing, "you, my good friend, is a magnet to awesome and horrible things alike."

Jim didn't know if this was a compliment or a complaint so he simply gave his diplomatic smile as he pointed to the wild fight going on between the lizard queen and the dark hunters.

"What about them?"

"She is about to lose," Hector shrugged, "but she would bring down as many hunters as she could with her."

"I... can't see that happening," what he could see was the lizard getting weaker and weaker with time, while the hunters grew denser around her.

"Just wait and you'll see..." Hector didn't explain but he put his hand over Jim's petite shoulder and waited.

"See?"

In less than five minutes and just as the lizard seemed to be at her last step to die, a sudden gush of monsters appeared from the pit.

They were summoned by a loud and annoying shriek of the queen, as if she was finally giving the order for her army to attack.

"That's... impressive!" Jim couldn't help but mutter in surprise, "so she was feigning weakness all that time?" he turned to Hector and added, "for what?"

"She wanted to grab their full attention and made sure no hunter would remain away from her," Hector said, "she isn't easy at all. If so then she wouldn't be able to slain many masters over the years. Her kin... is very famed with trickery."

"'I can see that," Jim nodded in agreement while watching the sudden strength appeared in the lizard while she kept fighting the hunters and making them unable to retreat.

Then her army of various kinds of monsters jumped off the pit opening and started attacking the dark hunters.

"How can they know where their real bodies are?" Jim couldn't help but ask as all he could see was pitch darkness.

"The queen," Hector said, "she left stains of her blood over the bodies of her enemies. That way her monsters can follow the scent and attack even without the need to see."

"That's... impressive," Jim was marveled again with how well planned the lizard queen was.

"Don't get me wrong," Hector suddenly said, "you can learn a hell lot of things from them."

Jim knew Hector wasn't exaggerating. He already learnt a lesson or two from this queen just now.

"What now?" Jim asked.

"See this?" Hector raised one of his arms and there Jim spotted a strange shining green stain over his coat. "This is her blood."

"What?!" Jim was shocked to hear that, and more shocked to get what did that mean.

"Don't look at me like I'm doomed," Hector laughed, "let her come, oh she can't, right boys?" Hector said and his team laughed alongside him.

"She could only send her henchmen, and she won't be able to do so soon at least."

"She needs to kill many hunters first," Jim said.

"Yup, and those coming at us will be all exhausted and mostly wounded. So it's fair game if you ask my opinion."

Jim gave him a weird glance while he laughed. "It's indeed fair this way. Who would put such a strong pack of monsters against a group of a hundred disciples and say this is a fair game?"

"Boss is right, they should be wounded and tired for the game to be fair," one disciple said and others expressed their agreement by howling like wolves.

"See? Everyone is agreeing on my words," Hector said with such an innocent smile that made Jim laugh.

"You are shameless," Jim said.

"Hahaha, you need to be shameless enough to survive this world."

"Boss is right," the same disciple said and this time everyone laughed and now howled.

"Shriek!"

Suddenly among this celebrating atmosphere a loud shriek came to abruptly stop their laughs.

"It's time," Hector wasn't fazed by the threatening shriek the queen issued just now. "Let's show this little darling how much we love her."

"Howl!"

The team howled in response before they started to attack. Jim saw attacks landing on the monsters that tried to disengage from the fight with dark hunters and attack them.

He also saw attacks landing on the dark hunters, and even some fell over the queen itself.

"She looks pissed off," Hector laughed, "but she had nothing in hand to do."

He pointed at the shining drop of blood in between Jim's palms and added, "as long as our little pearl here is still working, draining all her energy and keeping her weak, we have nothing to worry about."

Jim glanced at him while praying, "I hope so." However something inside him kept peeping in the alarm. Something bad was about to happen.
