The World of Beasts: She's Got Their Hearts novel Chapter 56

"Everyone else, back off a little. Don't absorb the Astral Amber meant for Ms. Chamber. There are many berserk males to calm this time, and Ms. Chamber will expend a great deal of mind essence."

Jay gestured for the males surrounding Analise to step back.

The males instinctively stepped back three feet and formed a circle around Analise to shield her. Meanwhile, Scott kept a watchful eye on the injured therians.

"Alright, leave some people here with Ms. Chamber. The rest, come with me to capture Sawyer's remaining forces!"

At Jay's command, a group of males instantly followed him out of the garden and began sweeping through the Lordship Estate.

"Thank you, Ms. Chamber."

The bull before her had regained clarity and immediately expressed his gratitude to Analise.

"You're welcome," Analise said as she continued purifying him. "Were you injured by a berserk male, or were you one yourself?"

"I was just injured. Those three were previously calmed by that fake female."

The male extended his hand, pointing at the males who had been injected with sedatives and inhibitors.

"I see. No wonder pur—I mean, calming you didn't drain much of my mind essence."

Analise pondered for a moment. After purging the Vexoth venom from the male before her, she moved on to one of the males he had pointed out.

With Finlay crushing Astral Ambers beside her, she was replenishing her mind essence as she spent it. Analise figured this was likely why she hadn't felt much depletion.

However, as she worked on this particular male, she could clearly feel the drain on her mind essence accelerate noticeably.

"So, direct infections are more severe, while secondary infections result in weaker toxicity. Are these robot females the actual source of the venom? Could a male's own mind essence also affect the severity of infection?"

Analise considered the possibilities as she continued purifying him.

"It's possible," Scott said.

He had somehow appeared beside her and was helping to crush the Astral Ambers.

Analise sighed and muttered to herself, "I'm still too weak."

Analise figured that if this really was like the Vexoth in those Interstellar novels, there had to be a Vexoth Queen.

They needed to take down the Vexoth Queen first, then purify the other males and females who were infected with Vexoth venom. Only then could they put an end to the infection. Otherwise, this cycle would never end.

"Analise, you're already incredible."

Scott froze for a moment. A familiar memory suddenly resurfaced, and his mind essence nearly slipped out of control.

The surrounding males felt a brief wave of pressure from his mind essence, but it disappeared within seconds.

"Analise, you're stronger than any other female. You're just an E-grade, yet you can calm an SSS-grade male."

Finlay agreed with Scott and reassured Analise from the side. To him, Analise was already the most exceptional female.
