"Stop stop you don't need to do this please!" Hao Xuan pleaded while ducking towards the left, avoiding another piercing attack from the ant.
Meanwhile, the ant's body wobbled to and fro in the air. One of its four wings was already damaged and it would have a hard time staying afloat even if it had all its senses back, not to mention now.
A light yellowish-green liquid was starting to ooze out of its mouth and trickle down to the Mind Palace's floor.
Hao Xuan's heart lurched seeing that. It was bleeding internally already. A couple more such attempts would be enough to kill it.
He quickly bent down and minimized his frame as much possible to seem as small of a threat as he possibly could. There was no way it would be able to attack him anyway so he didn't need to be cautious.
"Look, I don't want to harm you, you can still do whatever you want, okay? Just relax, okay?"
The ant that was lunge in for another attack faltered seeing him unguarded like that.
