The queen's arms were promptly secured, and ceased all movement, ultimately falling prey to Alvios' blade of light, in tandem with Jenso's flame whip. The large crystalline appendages fell to the ground with a chorus of resounding thuds. The claw that headed for Alvios was dispatched in a similar fashion, drilled through and pushed back into the magma. The queen reeled back in pain, pulling her last two arms back into her crevice, and placing her back up against the wall behind her. Alvios' attack against her torso struck as well, leaving a large crack in the hardened carnival of joints that ran up her stomach. She growled as he earlier light shards continued to dispatch the small creatures pouring out of her body, and leaned forward. Suddenly, another humanoid bugman launched itself upwards, and flew through the sky towards Alvios' blade that spat the shard storm, deflecting any attacking headed his way with his twin blades, and aiming to stop the onslaught for the small swarm.
