The time has come. My body moves to proceed towards the next step of the plan while my mouth opens to scream towards Fortista who is still standing far away with an absentminded look. "Fortista!"

Fortista seems to understand my intentions because he's now moving towards my direction. I turn away my attention from him after that.

According to the memories that appeared in my head, I move the mana inside my to my chest before I start spinning the space right in front of me, distorting the air as a result. That small part of space that is currently spinning then shoots towards the Fly Ant Queen at a speed that even my eyes can't catch up. It's like it happened in the blink of an eye.

"W-what's this?" The Fly Ant Queen starts backing away with a pale face.

Fortista appears by my side with a grunt and watches the show unfold. Meanwhile, I'm still pouring more mana to increase the speed of the attack. The space gets more distorted and starts pulling in the Fly Ant Queen towards it. The ground beneath it and the air around us is also being sucked in with great speed.

Suddenly, my mana leaves my body like a water flowing into the drain. It is coupled by the sensation of my nerves being cut apart. A weakness them permeates my body from head to tea. I can't even stand properly but when my legs are just about to give up, Fortista pulls me by the clothes. On its other hands are Eliot and Saphyrus who are still unconscious. After that, the beetle minion of mine starts flying away from the place. It only stops when we're only a few steps away from the entrance of the current hall that we're in. However, I can still feel the pressure of my own attack even at this distance. If Fortista is not grabbing me then I'd probably be sucked into it already

I turn my head towards the space over the Fly Ant Queen's place which is already unrecognizable. It's like there's a mix of colors in that place. I can't even hear the ant queen's screams anymore as its body is already destroyed to the point where nothing is recognizable. It doesn't look gross though.

Finally, the space comes to a strange stillness. Suddenly, the objects it absorbed then start to move away from that space as if they are being spit out. The first to fly out is the air, followed by the ground, and lastly is the Fly Ant's Body which is already unrecognizable by this point. It looks just like a ball of strange red mineral.

Seconds pass and the space finally returns to normal. Suddenly, a familiar refreshing feeling enters my body. This time, it's not merely a stream. If I have to liken it to another body of water then it would be a raging river.

I-is the life energy so thick that my body can't handle it?

My gaze land upon the red ball and in there, I can spot white psyche energy leaving it and dispersing towards the surroundings. What's happening this time?

A few wisps of those psyche energy brushes past us and enters Eliot and Saphyrus' bodies. It might just be my eyes playing tricks on me but it seems that their body is glowing. Their eyes that haven't moved for quite some time now suddenly start twitching before they slowly begin to open.

"Hey! Are you guys-" My words are quickly cut off as needles suddenly start poking my head.

N-no. It's actually not needles! In my peripheral vision, I can see a mass gathering of psyche energy. It forms a cloud and in a flash, it I'd already surrounding me.

I can feel something strange. It's like a hand is squeezing my brains in a way that it's as if it trying to mold it into something else. Painful? No. In fact, I don't feel anything. However, my body feels numb to the point where I can't move anymore.

My vision then starts becoming white until it occupies everything in sight. All I can hear now is my subordinates screaming my name before darkness slowly starts creeping in from the corners of my eyes.
