When Boan and Hill teamed up to battle the level-eight insectoid queen, Boan was constantly on guard against Hill's firepower, wary of any potential attack on him.
However, while he had prepared for Hill's artillery, he hadn't anticipated the presence of Jira, the Empire's most formidable SSS-tier beta, within Hill's robot. Catching Boan off guard, Jira thrust his psychic blade into Boan's Sea of Consciousness.
Thankfully, Boan reacted quickly. Sensing danger, he created distance between them instantly; otherwise, his Sea of Consciousness would have collapsed, and he would have been killed on the spot.
But his situation was still grim. His psychic shield was unstable, and his resistance to the insectoid queen's psychic power had fallen to zero.
"You should retreat. Let Zenitha and the others stabilize your Sea of Consciousness. I'll handle the insectoid queen for now," Officer Lyao advised him.
