Supreme Lord: I can extract everything!

Chapter 1041  Tekur Queen

The corpses of many fighters were sprawled everywhere. Countless Tekur might have died facing the great powers of the Untamed Forces, but there were also Divine Subordinates and Super Awakened among the dead. Even more Awakened of the Untamed Jungle had died, torn into shreds by none other than the Tekur Queen and her trusted subordinates.

Most of the Dragonbound were dead, and even the Red Dragon looked like her life was hanging on a paper-thin thread. There was blood and body parts everywhere. Not a single speck of land had been spared from the terrifying acts of the Untamed Forces and the Tekur Queen.

The sight was shocking but the worst had yet to happen. The Tekur Queen was just getting started.

The Tekur Queen was a hideous creature with two long, spindly legs. They looked like grasshoppers but much sturdier, longer, and sharper. Her body was several times larger than her children's bodies. She towered above everyone and made sure the beings in her proximity knew that she was not only taller than them but also stronger, faster, and more intelligent.

If that was everything, the Untamed Forces wouldn't have such a hard time dealing with her. Of course, many would die, but it couldn't possibly be the end of the Untamed Forces. However, her shiny shell was hard, like the armored carapace of a beetle, covered in jagged, dark-colored plates that overlapped, creating several layers of armor. The carapace created chittering noises whenever it moved, the dark plates scraping against each other.

The Tekur Queen's head was triangular, with large, compound eyes that glowed with a cold, yellow light, constantly darting around as if surveying everyone and everything on the battlefield. A set of pincers formed the Tekur Queen's mouth – huge razor-sharp mandibles that snapped open and shut with a metallic click, strong enough to easily crush the Berserker's bodies. The Super Awakened had already witnessed that…more than once.

Above its mouth, two long, thin antennae twitched with every step the Awakened around her did. She sensed the air and felt the slightest movement and vibration around her. It was impossible to approach the Tekur Queen silently. She perceived everything, even the steps of the greatest assassin among the Super Awakened. The human was ripped out of the shadows and torn into shreds.

A horrifying screech reverberated throughout the battlefield, startling the Untamed Forces as their heads flicked to the towering figure of the Tekur Queen.

Her grotesque and eerily-long arms were armed with a black exoskeleton and ended in multiple, hooked claws that were perfectly structured for ripping and tearing flesh. That was what she did with the Sacred Knights, the Berserkers, and the Warlock Centaurs, who tried to hold her back with their lives on the line. They may only be Summons, but that didn't mean their lives were worth any less. The Summons were still flesh, blood, and souls. Their lives may have ended once, but the Will reincarnated them, bringing them back to life. It didn't matter whether they had to obey someone else. They still valued their lives even though they knew they had to fight powerful enemies to protect their beloved. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Each arm of the Tekur Queen had an extra joint, granting her a disturbingly fluid motion as it swayed, always ready to strike. Which it did. The Tekur Queen's arm whizzed through the air relentlessly, taking one life after another, killing way too many brave warriors in their valiant attempt to inflict some damage.

However, even their tireless efforts to hold the Tekur Queen back were useless. Enormous transparent wings unfolded from the Tekur Queen's back. They shimmered with an oily sheen in the late afternoon sun and buzzed loudly as she flapped them to change her position with terrifying speed. One moment, she wasn't moving, and in the next instant, the Tekur Queen appeared before a pair of Divine Subordinates of the Altors Union. Her arms whisked around, beheading one of the Divine Subordinates right as he conjured a massive Gaia Shield. It should have protected the Divine Subordinate, but the attack shattered the shield right before ending the Divine Subordinate's life.

The other Divine Subordinate tried to use one of his Escape Soultraits, one of the gifts Michael had given to some of the bravest and most loyal Divine Subordinates, but he failed. The Escape Soultrait didn't trigger. All the Divine Subordinate heard was the transparent wings buzzing loudly, sending chills through the air as their rapid motion blurred. In the next moment, the second Divine Subordinate was also dead.

The way the Tekur Queen decapitated so many of the strongest beings in the Untamed Forces was eerie. Not only did she kill those Divine Subordinates who had powerful fire-attributed abilities or Tekur with extraordinary physique augmenting Soultraits, but she killed those who were capable of killing Tier-8 powerhouses. That alone was indicator enough to tell that the Tekur Queen was stronger than most 8th Tier Awakened even though she was not even at the Peak of the 7th Tier. No one knew why the Tekur Queen hadn't reached the 8th Tier yet or why, given her age and experience, she was not a Demi God with her god-like combat prowess, but that was it. She stood there, turning around, eying everyone with curiosity. She didn't even mind the Divine Tekur around her dying like flies. She watched them with a smile and snickered.

Despite her insectoid appearance, the Tekur Queen's posture was unnervingly human-like, standing upright and towering over any bipedal creature it encountered. The way she moved – fast, jerky, and unpredictable – only added to its menacing appearance. The Untamed Forces were scared…and fear didn't aid their combat prowess. If anything, it crippled them, transforming the bravest warriors into weak kittens.

A foul-smelling, toxic liquid dripped from the Tekur Queen's mandibles, hissing as it corroded the ground with its touch. That indicated its venomous bite, which didn't inflict any damage. After all, everyone the Tekur Queen has bitten died from the bone-crushing crunch.

Every part of the Tekur Queen seemed designated to inflict fear and destruction, from its vicious pincers to its sickening, high-pitched screech that echoed through the battlefield as the hunt continued.

But that was the point. The Tekur Queen was a god-like predator…and she enjoyed every single moment of it.
