Welcome to Gaia! ::

Zen stared wide-eyed, with his mouth open at the queen. "Th-th-that's one big bug." he said still staring in suprise. "How are we going to take it down? It's armored everywhere!" he said. He was already exhausted from fighting the regular beetles, and now this. Just as he spoke, however, he saw a tiger jump down onto the queen and attack her. "Well, using my great deducting skills, I'd say that the tiger is on our side for now," he said as he rushed to help fight the queen. If he couldn't penetrate the armor himself, he could at least cause a good enough distraction.

((Excellent timing dark))

A low growl escaped Rameil's mouth as Roe arrived "About time..." He muttered under his breath. His ears twitched slightly before he shot his head in the direction Kraji he shalla ha! Oshiro plateu jeci reta quewakja, feba chi mayhem fara! He yelled in the elvish tongue.

Darting forward, Ramiel leaped into the air, loosing a single fireball. The blazing ball of crimson flame contacted clean with the Queen's chest plate, however as the fire dispersed quickly it seemed as if did nothing to the giant insect.

But to those with keener senses they would have noticed a thin crease down the center of the queen's chest shell, almost like twin doors. Ramiel smirked "Thats our target!" He yelled, nothing bothering to look back at the others "We need to get that open to kill her....however from the outside its impervious to both blade and spell..."

//Stop you fool! She only has two weakness, and I already know em!//

Sintariun's eyes went to the beetle and narrowed seeing Ramiel fire a shot. Noticing the slight stream of fire that remained on the skin showing the weak spot, the elf smirked slightly. Jumping into the air, the elf quickly changed her form once more but this time talons with ebony color and dark brown feathers exploded on her body as her hair transformed into wings and ended with the elf turning into a Harris hawk.

With a cry of freedom, the elf zipped toward the beetle to try and help the animal on it's back by going at the insect's eyes and dodging the pincers to try and distract the thing from attacking the others.

Screeching at the insect, the elf quickly dodged the blob smelling it before it'd even lobbed it at her. Pecking at the eyes and pinchers, the hawk let out another screech as she hung onto an eye she'd managed to nab and pulled away throwing the eye to the ground as she looked back she noted a slime dripping away from her body.

The hawk didn't give up and continued to go at the leader's face.

The queen hissed and chattered away as the hawk attacked its face. It snapped its pincers wildly as it tried to nab the creature, watching it closely with its remaining 9 eyes.

The shape shifting elf would soon get a surprise though as a long, black tongue flicked out of the creatures mouth and around the birds leg, attempting to pull it towards the mouth.

Roe would get a great surprised as the dust cleared off the bugs thorax. The Mana beam had only managed to take off one and a half layers of the shell, at a total of roughly 25. From the scratched pieces of shall came more slime, however this slime glowed an odd shade of green, the air sizzled and snapped as it moved down the shell.

Gia saw what happened and didn't feel she had much time to lose. She had to fly and now, whether body allowed it not. Gia would force the wings to pursue themselves out of her body. She didn't have enough power in her body to do this, but she was taking a risk and a gamble on this as she was concentrating what gathered magic she had to this eventually summoning just enough magic to summon her silver wings forth. Her left arm would have hold of her long sword and she knew Sin needed help. Gia couldn't just watch, not even in her own weakness as she would pour every ounce of strength she had into speed and flight into flying straight for where Sin was caught. If she could slash the queen's tongue to get Sin free, she was no matter the gamble to Gia's own body that might come of it later. "If you understand me, dodge this Sintarium......I'll get you free..", her words came clearly as she dropped her sword only to use her right arm to guide her left hand.

Gia would jump into the air to get leveled with the Queen as she seemed to be aiming at the queen's tongue using even more magic. Gia was focusing as much power as she can so much that her body was hurting all over just from the straight, but it didn't matter as there was enough sparks forming upon her left hand to create a fire ball. "Queen, over here!", she'd scream at the queen beetle to gain it's attention in hopes it'd be dumb enough to ignore Sintarium to let her go as Gia would let fly the fireball that would rip out of her body flying fast and strong towards the beetle. Gia wouldn't know if it would hit because of the knock-back she felt as she was leaned against the tree behind her breathing heavily and praying the fire ball hits the mark. Gia's vision wasn't holding up after the spell or the re-use of her wings as she was barely able to see clearly. She knew before the blur of her vision the spell flew true, but afterwards it'd be only by sound.

((Welcome back Dark! And Jeeeze...how did I miss this much in a few hours?))

An ear splitting screech followed a flurry of feathers as Asteria shot forward, trying to aid Gia in helping Sintariun. She furiously dug at the Queen's tongue, trying to get it to release the beautiful bird.

Meanwhile, Damon was fighting on the ground, trying his best to take out the remaining smaller bugs for the other adventurers. It seemed now that the Queen was taking all their attention, he was one of the few left to defend against the smaller threat.

Liah sat, terrified on the ground, not knowing what to do. She was, of course, the only one who was this helpless in a situation like this. She watched as her companions did all the fighting for her, trying their best to help. 'Why did I even bother to come on this? My friends are the one fighting...they don't even want to be here!' In her frustration, she grew distracted and forgot to be aware of her surroundings...

Zen pulled his sword out when he saw it starting to bend from the queen's movements. But then he felt a burning pain on his foot and part of his leg. He looked down and saw that some of the acid had hit his leg and foot and had already eaten through in some spots. "Ow, ow, ow, ow," he said while he tried to get it off as quickly as he could. Luckily he was able to wipe most of it on the ground. "This thing is much tougher than it looks. And it looked pretty tough to start." he said to himself.
For a moment, he considered changing into his real dragon form. He was fairly certain that his teeth and claws could penetrate the queen's chitin armor. Even if the others would see him for what he was, they might still accept him if he killed this monster. But he decided against it for now. He would wait and see how the fight would go.
