Chapter 73 - The Troublesome Queen

"What do you mean by that?" The queen asked, wondering what he meant by that, as she was somewhat afraid of whatever this being had in mind, as it certainly wasn't pleasant. "Well, of course, I mean what I should do with you," Aaron explained. "After all, there's no point in keeping you alive, so why not just kill you?" This put visible worry upon the Queen's face, as she didn't want to die. There were much better things she could be doing with her time than dying.

"You know, I don't feel like dying, monster, or should I say, being, for if a monster were to truly exist, it would have no intelligence." The Queen responded, trying to find a way out of this scenario, as she didn't want to even attempt fighting this thing. "Well, you see, Queen, I rather enjoy killing. If you were to take a look outside, you would find that around half of your city has been killed. Half of the world has been killed, so you can see just how much I enjoy what I do. Now, unless you can offer me a great reason as to why I shouldn't kill you right this second, you shall die by my hand." Aaron retorted, looking forward to seeing what response she gave him.

The Queen had to think about a good response, prompting her to close her eyes, which just let Aaron slowly walk up towards her, as his face portrayed the smile of a psychopath. She was too deep in thought to notice him walking towards her, but that was when something stopped him in his tracks. It was like a wall, but it wasn't visible. He placed his hand out and felt a wall, yet it was non-existent. The Queen then opened her eyes as they glowed a shining blue, which intrigued Aaron.

"What's this? Is this your Ki Ability, Queen? Can all you do is make a wall? Pitiful!" Aaron exclaimed as he began to laugh at what he thought was a pitiful ability. The Queen then began muttering something, with her face down, which immediately made Aaron suspicious, so he jumped backwards, giving himself enough room to evade an attack, should one be fired. A red orb appeared in front of the Queen as she lifted her head, revealing one of her eyes to be shining a crimson red.

"Infinite Blast: Red Beam!" The Queen yelled as the orb released a large stream of similar red energy to that which it was made out of. Aaron didn't want to take his chances with the attack if it was named 'Infinity Blast', so he jumped out of the way, barely avoiding the beam. "You sly bitch." Aaron scowled as he began to rush towards the Queen. The Queen tried to attack Aaron again, but she couldn't activate any of her abilities, except for the autonomous one.

Aaron went swinging in, but his fist hit that invisible wall. He needed to get past this. Aaron tried to jump above it, but he couldn't. It was still there no matter how high he jumped. Since Aaron tried testing how high the barrier was, she had enough time to prepare a different attack. "Infinite Blast: Yellow Bolt!" The Queen screamed as a yellow thunderbolt-like attack flew from her palm, striking Aaron in the chest. Aaron was sent flying backwards, which caused him to slam into the far wall, leaving him slightly vulnerable.

Aaron landed on the ground, but almost immediately got back up, as he started to get serious. She had landed a hit on him, so he must ensure that her death was not painless. He would drag it out for as long as possible so that he could savour the moment. This was for after, but he decided to try scaring her into weakness. He activated his Fear Manipulation, which he hadn't used since he used it on Ray. He decided to use the same amount of fear as he used on Ray and wait to see the results. She almost instantly began holding her head in fear, as her mind was assaulted by grotesque images of the many ways Aaron could kill her, and this made her angry. She needed to deal with him, but when she looked at Aaron, her fear was just magnified, and she couldn't do anything about it.

Aaron began smiling once again, as he began walking towards her once again, testing the waters of what he could do right now. He could still feel the wall, so he pulled his hand back, attempting to punch through it. He pushed his hand forward, coating his hand in his Boundless Gravitational mana, just to see what would happen. His fist hit the wall, and it broke through with relative ease, but this was when the mana did something interesting. It pulled the fear-ridden Queen towards his hand, while also snapping her out of the Fear Manipulation. Aaron saw this as an opportunity for something cool, so he tried to pull the Queen out from the hole of unknown size.

She was dragged out of the invisible wall by Aaron, sustaining large cuts along her body, before getting stuck halfway through, as her body was too large to fit through the unknown-sized hole that Aaron had made. She was a skinny woman, don't get me wrong, but the hole just wasn't big enough.

The pointed shards of the invisible wall began to dig into her, as cuts opened along the middle of her forehead, just adding to the plethora of injuries she had gotten by simply going through the hole. She may have been able to create the wall, but she couldn't see it. Aaron's smile grew wider, as he forcefully pulled her out of the hole, causing a large wound to open on her forehead. She fell to the ground, as Aaron looked upon the bleeding queen, as he made one final statement before she blacked out.

"Have a nice sleep, Queen. Your next one won't be so calm."
