Beast Love Show: All For Her (by Sylvester Raven) novel Chapter 292

Chapter 292 The Hostile Queen

Carson gave a slight nod and stepped aside.

Layla called out, “We saw a golden insect today. Your subjects seem to be tainted by a strange metal. We came here looking for that metal, hoping it might help us find a way to solve your problem, too

A soft, ethereal voice echoed from the depths. “Enter. But only two of you may come in.”

Layla glanced back at the three men behind her.

Her decision was quick; Shane had the most relevant expertise.

He was the obvious choice.

As they stepped into the massive insect burrow, Layla’s gaze was drawn upward. There, clinging to the ceiling, was a beetle with a hauntingly human face.

As they approached, the creature descended, its multitude of legs rippling as it moved to stand before them.

Shane’s protective instincts flared.

He shifted, ready to place himself between Layla and the colossal insect. One could never be too cautious.

The Queen’s multifaceted eyes scrutinized them, lingering on their faces.

Sensing no immediate malice from Layla, she spoke again, her voice resonating in the chamber, “The metal you seek is not here. I have relocated my nest.”

“Why?” Layla asked, her brow furrowing.

A heavy sigh escaped the Queen. “My former burrow… was taken from me.”

The name “Stella” instantly surfaced in Layla’s mind. “Who took it?”

The Queen’s gaze sharpened, a sudden, unnerving intensity flashing within it.

A cold dread settled in Layla’s stomach.

Something is wrong.

Before she could say anything, the Queen’s head jerked forward. A stream of corrosive fluid shot from her maw directly at Layla.

Shane reacted in a split second, a shimmering energy shield materializing between them and the acidic

spray.

With a flutter of iridescent wings, the Queen lifted into the air, her voice rising to a piercing, grief-stricken shriek. “It was your kind! Humans! Your filth caused the death of countless hatchlings! Perish!”

The commotion drew Carson and Oliver rushing in from the entrance.

Layla, however, still hoped to avoid a full confrontation.

“Hold your positions!” she commanded, her voice cutting through the chaos.

She looked up at the hovering monarch. “Not all humans are the same. We’re here to help, not fight you!

Her words fell on deaf ears.

To her, all humans were alike in their deceit. Consumed by hatred, the Queen saw only enemies.

Another acidic blast followed, and this time, a stray droplet seared through Shane’s sleeve, the fabric dissolving instantly.

Layla’s eyes hardened. The time for talk had passed. “Subdue her. Do not kill,” she ordered the others.

A unified nod answered her.

In the next moment, the cavern echoed with the sounds of transformation as four figures shifted into their powerful beast forms.

Layla took to the air, her wings beating steadily. “I said we mean no harm!”

. The Queen responded with a concentrated beam of raw energy from her mouth.

Layla banked sharply, avoiding the strike.

Seizing the opening, Carson launched himself from the ground, his massive paw swiping at the Queen’s underbelly.

Yet she was a beetle-and the mightiest among them.

The impact produced a dull, metallic “clang”; her armored carapace was unscathed.

Shane swiftly coiled around the Queen’s thorax, constricting her movements.

“Deceivers! Vermin! You will all die!” the Queen screamed, thrashing wildly.

Watching her rage-fueled frenzy, Layla knew only a decisive blow would end this.

With a powerful downstroke of her wings, the leading edges of her primary feathers, sharp as razors, sliced through the air and across the Queen’s prized shell.

The leading edges of her primary feathers, sharp as razors, sliced through the air and across the Queen’s prized shell. A sharp crack echoed as a fissure appeared in the thick armor.

A sharp crack echoed as a fissure appeared in the thick armor.

The Queen’s eyes widened in shock and pain.

She had known these intruders were strong, but this? This level of strength was unexpected.

But hatred had claimed her heart.

A roar of pure fury tore from her.

As golden Carapax Beetles swarmed from the tunnels, Oliver yelled, “She’s called the whole nest!”
