( Hazriel's POV )
Hazriel watched in horror as the tier10 barrier that was supposed to be indestructible, popped like a balloon while her husband was stuck in space not moving an inch.
An unknown opponent who could take on Max, The universal queen and Drax at once was now descending towards the Rajput Capital and Hazriel felt her stomach rolling seeing him approach.
Beside her, Kartikeya and Jake had their warrior faces on, those two kids were ready to fight and die while Anna and Asiva had their weapons ready but looked terrified.
Hazriel could see it in their eyes that those two were not willing to fight this opponent at all, however, they had no choice.
Gopal was still within the premises and Anna had to protect him at all costs.
Their father, their first and most powerful line of defence had fallen and now it was upto themselves to fend the attacker off.
' Damn it….' Hazriel cursed in her head as she equipped her armour and unflurred her pure white angel wings.
Amongst the kids and the wives, she was the only monarch and technically the last line of defence!
It was her job to protect the family now, however, seeing as to how even Max stood no chance against this opponent, she had little hopes of succeeding.
" Don't you dare move a muscle, Kartikeya….. stay the fuck back till I tell you to move" Hazriel threatened as she sensed that Kartikeya was constricting his muscles, ready to pounce on his opponent off his own volition.
Kartikeya, listening to Hazriel's threat, gave up on the idea of charging, but was on high alert nonetheless as he circulated divine essence through his body.
Once the perfect warrior approached an altitude of about 200 metres from the surface of the Rajput Capital, suddenly, countless projections of the universal queen popped out of all the Rajput family members as within seconds close to 10 Queen projections emerged and stood in front of the Rajput family members, facing the perfect warrior.
" Oh right! We still have the queen protecting us-" Anna said in releif as she remembered that the queen not only had one projection but had countless of them.
Max had apparently told the queen to become the shadow of every Rajput family member and only show up when their life was in danger.
Today, as the queen hiding in the shadows acknowledged the approaching threat, the defensive mechanism was activated for the first time ever as countless Queen projections guarded the Rajput family from the intruder.
The queen was undoubtedly the single greatest weapon to exist in the universe and for Rudra to tame it was the pinnacle of his achievements.
Even the perfect warrior could not simply ignore the queen, especially when there were countless projections of her in his path as soon a bloody fight broke out between the Queen projections and the perfect warrior.
*KABOOM*
*KABOOM*
*BOOM*
*BAM*
*SHUA*
*SHUA*
The entire skyline above the Rajput capital was riddled with explosions as the entire floating structure vibrated as if it was just struck by a magnitude 7 earthquake.
The perfect warrior was visibly faster and stronger than the Queen projections, however, the queen made up for that deficit through sheer numbers alone.
It was like watching a dozen tier4 warriors teaming up to fight a tier5 warrior but only on a much higher scale.
Although the tier5 warrior was stronger and better, the sheer numbers were enough to tire him as the queen perfectly carried out her role as the guardian of the family.
However, unlike what most people believed, The queen was not all omnipotent and could not operate multiple projections for too long.
The queen, to be able to take a physical form needed to rely on a complex array system that was guarded and protected by the Rajput's, which was powered by billions of high quality mana crystals.
On average, for the queen to maintain a single body, it required hundreds of thousands of crystals a day, but for her to maintain 10 of them in battle needed exponentially more.
Sooner than later, she was going to be forced to decommission some of her avatars and it would be at that moment that the tide of this fight would change.
The queen had only bought the family some time, but they still needed to evacuate to ensure their safety.
" Please leave through the portal that I'm about to open…. Supreme Lord Max has entrusted me with the job of protecting you and I must not fail" one of the queen's projections, which was not engaged in battle said as she opened a portal and urged all the Rajput family members to evacuate.
" My baby! He's still inside the capital" Anna shrieked as she panicked, however, the queen immediately assured her that Gopal had already been evacuated.
" Come on!" Jake urged as Asiva, Anna evacuated first, however, Kartikeya and Hazriel looked hesitant.
" Brother, If I leave uncle Max would be all alone.
This fight is far from over and I refuse to run with my tail between my legs.
Take fourth aunt and leave, I'll come back with uncle" Kartikeya said as he gripped his sword hard and ran away from the portal, leaving no room for Jake to debate.
" FUCK, FUCK FUCK….. STUPID STUPID BROTHER….." Jake cursed as he could not understand why Kartikeya had to be such a meathead all the time, but he tried to control his emotions as he looked at Hazriel and said " Fourth aunt please….. leave"
Hazriel looked towards the portal, then towards Max frozen in the sky and finally towards her belly.
Then she grind her teeth so hard, Jake could hear it from a few metres away but in the end she chose not to leave too.
" I don't want to stay either, but Kartikeya is right….. can't leave your uncle behind" Hazriel said as Jake cursed out loud once more and ran after the duo as well.
In the end, all three of them did not end up running away.
