Direct combat against the Insect Lord.
It was only possible now because the Marionette Lord couldn't interfere in the Personal Reality, and while this was the battle Iris was most equipped for, that didn't mean it'd be easy.
She immediately made distance once she killed Treya and made her intentions clear.
The Insect Lord was more than aware of her plans, and as he saw the last line of defense fall, his survival instincts kicked in.
Bzzzzzz!
The buzzing of fast-beating wings filled the atmosphere. Tens of thousands of locusts, wasps, and mosquitos filled the air in a horde that couldn't be driven away easily.
And their target was clear.
They swarmed Iris, who retreated constantly, and attacked her in formation. The three species that should've been fighting each other for a piece of her acted in perfect tandem to drive her into a corner.
Iris' eyes narrowed.
'How should I go about this…?'
