Finally Chugota stopped convulsing and thudded her heads to the ground.

When Celeta approached, Chugota's condition was far beyond serious.

Deep wounds exposing bone, not two but three or more.

Her breath wheezed in and out, and bloody foam dripped from her mouth with each breath.

Respect for the old queen.

Respect for a mother who had already raised and lost offspring.

Respect...!
