Michael wasn't the least bit happy about the outcome.
However, his clouded mind wasn't able to articulate an argument strong enough to change Robert's stance and make him turn back.
In the end, piloting Cyberfang with Robert flying beside him, they surged toward the Monarch, eager to save Ruby.
The mech's rockets flared forward. The projectiles targeted the Royal Champions, who had taken firm hold of Ruby.
Sadly, they were unable to reach their goal, colliding with other ants that got in their way.
Robert's attempts also proved futile. The Lord failed to generate enough energy to cast any meaningful attacks to slow the ants down.
"Shit."
Michael's forehead dripped with sweat. If the forces holding him back weren't enough, the aura of the nearing Monarch clashed with him like a tidal wave.
This was neither the first nor the second time he had been assaulted by such a vile presence. But due to his wounded state, the accumulated pressure built up to an agonizing level.
