Growl! Luna peeled away as fast as she could, disappearing and reappearing a few feet away, but the attack was faster than her.

Mana coiled around the massive corrosive ball of energy that had picked up even more speed and momentum. The sheer intensity of the thing was terrifying.

Luna moved zig-zag, up and down, trying to evade the attack, but it looked like it had some sort of a homing component, and it chased her no matter what she did.

As if this was not enough, the Hive Queen did not stop with that single attack.

She did not wait and watch for the attack to land and observe its effect. Instead, in a mad rage, sent several corrosive power balls forward, all aimed at the white fox.

The very air itself sizzled with a toxic aura in the presence of these attacks.

Growl! Growl! Growl!

Luna sprang forward at full speed. It had been a while since her Master relied on her, and that too, he was relying on her for a life and death situation. So under no circumstance, she wanted to fail.

The little fox charged wildly, sucking in all the mana that she possibly could.

She was extracting the full power of one of the flames she possessed as her tail glowed bright reddish orange, the aura spreading across her body as well.

Surprisingly, this time another tail as well glowed faintly.

Liam observed everything, but he knew that this was still not enough to evade the attacks. One hit and the both of them would be knocked out of their momentum, and it would be game over after that.

They only had a chance to survive as long as they continued running away. Even a small pause would cost them dearly.

"Keep running. Leave these attacks to me!" Liam gritted his teeth and started manipulating the soul energy he had gathered, but he didn't use it yet and continued waiting.

Just as the first attack was about to strike the fox, he swiftly dispersed the soul energy in the last second to create a barrier just in time.

Bang!

The soul barrier was strong enough to block the attack of the hive queen completely, and because Liam didn't create a particularly strong one, the resulting collision even gave Luna more forward momentum as the fox blurred forward again with top speed.

"One down… ten more to go!"

Liam immediately called back the soul energy that he used to create the first barrier.

Unlike mana, soul dispersion took a lot longer, and if one's manipulation technique was good enough, the same soul energy could be used again and again.

Liam was still far from reaching this stage, but he was able to recover at least 60% of the soul energy that he used.

He then added more of the soul fragments to this ball of energy and once again materialized another barrier just as the second attack was about to land.

Bang!

Once more, the attack was successfully blocked.

The hive queen raged in anger and dashed forward at an incredible speed with her wings buzzing rapidly that they almost looked invisible.

However, no matter how much she tried, she just couldn't match the speed of the celestial beast.

Liam had no idea what level Luna currently was and what her stats were. After a certain point of time, he was completely unable to find out anything about her, even if she was his soul-bound pet.

But he knew that the little fox was silently siphoning a portion of all of his experience points.

Even in the last fight, if he received enough experience points to boost him three levels, then the fox must have received an equal amount, further boosting her level.

And from the looks of it, her current agility stat, combined with her [Blur] skill activation, was good enough to outrun the hive queen marginally.

The only problem was… if the queen decided to use some sort of special technique.

However, Liam was determined not to let this happen.

He felt a dull stabbing ache in the depth of his body as he manipulated the gathered soul energy one more time, creating yet another barrier to break the attack.

Bang!

In the distance, the outline of the magic shop was already starting to become visible. Luna growled loudly as she prepared to launch forward and cover this last stretch.

The hive queen finally noticed this. As if she understood the plan of the two weaklings, she screeched loudly. She was livid with anger.

A dark black aura enveloped her as Liam felt a powerful surge of mana. This time he did not dare to ration the soul energy in his possession.

He clenched his fist and prepared to cast another barrier, something a lot stronger than the previous ones.

If things went well, then he needed just one more, and they would reach the safety zone.

The tremendous amount of mana gathered like a vortex next to the ison, and from within it, a powerful spear-like structure materialized.

Liam immediately had a bad feeling. He could feel his skin itch just from the mere presence of it. He turned to look, and Luna only needed a couple more seconds.

But the hive queen did not wait for them and sent the attack, screaming at the top of her lungs.

The spear cut the air, sending out waves of corrosive energy, and shot forward with an astonishing pace.

Though there was still a good amount of distance between them, the spear crossed this distance in an instant.

This was the power of a Level 205 attack? Just how much mana was imbued in the attack?

Liam frantically tried to block the attack with his soul barrier, but he could tell that this time it was simply not enough.

He gritted his teeth and tried to erect both a soul barrier and a mana barrier at the same time.

Pain rippled through his body and mind. He was already recovering from the aftermath of [Soul Splice], and this was beyond his current capability.

He pushed himself and conjured several layers of barriers between the spear and them.

However, one layer after another started peeling away even before the spear reached the target.
