Chapter 331 Never Extinguished_2

"But by the time the White Tower detected it, it was already too late. The Spirit Realm ritual would be completed very soon, and the Insect Queen would become a more powerful entity. By then, killing the Big King Ant would be meaningless. All we could do was wait," Rod said.

Cilly seemed very displeased.

"Why wait? Can't we take the opportunity to stop the ritual? If we kill that Spirit Realm Monster, how could the Insect Queen evolve?" she asked.

"No, it's too dangerous. We can't predict what will happen during the ritual. Whether it's a higher-level Insect Queen or a Chaotic Monster, they are not creatures you can handle. The Royal City will deploy stronger combatants to deal with them. Your task is to guard the Lighthouse area and prevent the monsters from spreading," Rod explained.

Cilly found it hard to accept, but combat orders were not to be disobeyed, so she ended up cursing Lannister fiercely and stomped back to her room angrily.
