Chapter 32 - Bees
n
n
nBzzzz…
nThe bees came attacked in groups, and their movements were almost too fast to be seen. In fact, sometimes they looked like nothing but black-yellow blurs
nMutated Bee – level 28
nBattle power 24
nThere are six of them, and their attention were all focused on him.
nOne look at their high stats, and Viktor didn’t even need a second to take the right course of action.
n“Retreat!”
nIn moments like these, Viktor could only thank his past self for the cleverness of putting all his stats on agility. Right now, his agility was 32 points and considering what he knew, it should be enough to run from any kind of monster.
n… right?!
nAs the sound of buzzing wingbeats got closer and closer, the faster his confidence crumbled into nothing.
nBzzzz.. bzzzz…-.
n
n“Thank you for the news Djinn!”
n
n“Blyat!! The Djinn doesn’t understand sarcasm!”
nAs he ran as fast as he could, Viktor looked around, searching for a way to get away from the persistent flying bugs. As he saw a dense forest, he decided to get in and use his excellent agility to move around the trees in a zig-zag pattern.
nHe glanced behind him and his lips curled up into a smirk. As he expected, the bees may be faster, but they are unable to use their speed to move around the trees.
nThe tall and thick trees forced the bees to separate, and three of them even flew away to the sky, leaving Viktor to fight against three bees who were currently chasing him.
nAs he ran, he occasionally glanced at his chasers before finally choosing a target.
nThe one on the far right!
nHe dashed among the trees, closing into the right, and when the creature came within his trajectory. He quickly turn, dashed toward the bee, and swung the dagger.
nSwiissh!
nUnfortunately, He missed it!
nThe bee was merely the size of a tennis ball and also was much faster than him, hence Viktor got his timing wrong.
n“Darn it!”
nWhile the bee he chased turned around, the two others were also closing in on him. Viktor decided to try again and focused on the bee he missed before he dashed closer for another strike.
nThis time, he must find the right timing and nail it.
nThe two were about to crash, and the bee he chased has turn pointing its sting towards Viktor in a display of threat. Although this direction he was heading would give much danger to Viktor, it would also have a much higher chance to hit the bee.
nAs he ran, he counted down, and with the right timing, he swung his blade upward just directly in front of him.
nSwissh! Splatt!
nHis knife was able to split the bee into two. From the air, an orb appeared and flew into his chest.
nYou have received the spirit energy of mutated bee – level 24.
nYou have received one point of agility
nBefore he could laugh, he saw the dead bee’s remains splash some kind of greenish, goo-like liquid towards him.
nOn instinct, Viktor raised his unarmed hand to block, only for him to feel a painful sting as the skin of his arm sizzled and emitted smoke.
n“Arrgghh!”
nIt was fortunate that the splash did not hit his eyes, but Viktor has no time to relieve his pain, as the buzzing were getting closer to him, a reminder that they were still giving chase.
nTo dodge them, he ran again towards the thick trees, however, just a few minutes after, he was surprised to see three ominous shadows behind the trees. The bees that previously flew away to the sky were already waiting for him on the other side.
nHe was now surrounded.
nBzzzz… bzzzzz…
nViktor stood his ground close to one of the trees and watched as the closest bee came charging towards him with its sting ready. He decided to stand still and only dodge at the last second.
nBamm!
nThe sheer speed it moved in made the bee’s sting got stuck to the tree. As it tried to free itself, Viktor took his chance and swung his knife.
nSplattt!
nHe cut the bee in two, careful to avoid the splatter of green liquid this time.
nYou have received the spirit energy of mutated bee – level 23
nYou have received one point in agility
nYou have received one spirit points
nMore agility points for him, which he would direly need in such a precarious situation.
nHowever, the last attack cost his chance to escape, as now all four bees were only a few meters away from him. They surrounded him in all four directions, floating and circling around waiting for his next move. It was almost as if they could communicate with each other.
nIn this dire moment, Viktor was dwelling on whether he should use his gun or his Allmight skill and he only had seconds to decide.
nOn second thought he believe the skill was not the best solution, after all, there’s no point in having a strong punch if he cant hit the fast-moving bee.
nNot willing to give up an idea came to mind and Viktor quickly use it.
nHe turned toward the massive tree next to him, and placed all his strength into one strong kick.
nBamm!!
nThe tree shook violently, and large amounts of snow came falling from the tree and quickly distracted the bees, some big chunks of snow even managed to hit one of them
nThe act bought him a second, but it was all he needed to toe the line between life and death. With his 34 points of agility, Viktor quickly dashed and pierced the nearest bee.
nSplaatt!!
nThen, he attacked the next one, before finally, attacking the bee that just managed to shake the snow away from its wings.
nOne bee was missing, and Viktor spotted it flying as fast as it could, trying to run away from him. Viktor held and twirled the knife on his fingers, remembering all the practice he had, and threw it.
nSwish!
nUnfortunately, his attack missed,
nViktor took a deep sigh, it’s been years since he practiced using a knife. However he was happy that he survive, he even manage to kill 5 of them in total without even using his powers let alone a gun.
nThis is a good day, indeed.
