Epic of Bee

Chapter 210 But For How Long?



My body started to change and expand, and then my vision went dark.

[DragonBee System: Online]

[Prepare to sync]

Whatever was happening, I was concerned with how long it was taking. It wasn\'t like I had all the time in the world; a giant centipede was headed for me, but I couldn\'t even see it!

[Name]: Monstrapede

[Class]: Carnivorous Predator

[Abilities]:

[Elemental Resistance]: Monstrapede is resistant to Elemental Damage.

[Magical Resistance]: Monstrapede is resistant to Magical Damage.

[Shell Resistance]: Monstrapede\'s shell is resistant to Physical Damage.

[Bite]: Monstrapede makes a bite attack.

[Consume]: Monstrapede attempts to eat its target.

[Gene]: Monstrous.

Hmmm… that wasn\'t what I meant by seeing it, but it was better to get this now rather than when I finally synced back up.

Suddenly that window disappeared, and then it was immediately replaced by another. This time it was an image of a… DragonBee?

I had never seen something like this, but I guess that a giant blue and red Beedrill from Pokemon. Four matching wings had red joints and blue sails, but the body also had a metallic shine to it.

I could see that the body was made up of multiple plates that covered it from head to bee tail. Each one of the four arms was large clawed hands that looked razor-sharp, and there was a set of legs as well.

The feet attached to them were strange because they looked more Mecha. Instead of having toes with claws, they were solid, and the toes ran down into single points.

Suddenly, I was back inside the cavern with the Monstrapede coming for me, but I had seen it before blacking out in the exact place. Whatever happened must have stopped time or placed me in a place outside of time; regardless of what happened, I had the Monstrapede to deal with.

"What are you?!" The woman behind me cried out, but I had to ignore her.

The Monstapede was still twice as big as me, but I was able to hold it back with my longer arms. That is when the creature twisted its body, and I was tossed to the side, crashing into the wall.

The Monstrapede roared at me but then turned back to the black and yellow bee girl.

Alright, System, let\'s see some of those weapons that are now active, or I am going to not be able to save that girl!

In response, my chest cracked open to reveal four sword hilts and hand grips for what looked to be two guns. I grabbed one of the guns and held it in my top to arms, then took two of the swords in my lower two; as I did I, windows popped up.

[Dragoon Rifle] Activated!

[Hammer Shot x4] Loaded!

[BeeBliss Blades] Activated!

I didn\'t waste any time and raised the gun to target the Monstrapede and fired without hesitation. The shot hit the side of the creature, but it didn\'t do any real damage, but it did send the Monstrapede flying into the far side of the cavern.

I rushed over to the girls and pointed back to the tunnel I had just come from.

"G...go...Th...At...W-way!" I tried to get out, but there was something wrong with my speech, and I wasn\'t able to speak correctly, but the girl understood me and ran for the tunnel.

The Monstrapede was coming for me now, but I fired three more rounds into the creature. It was getting knocked back into the wall, but it was causing little to no damage, and I was out of rounds.

[Hammer Shot] Spent, Ejecting!

A clip popped out of the Dragoon Rifle but then flew to a place on my stomach. Another clip flew out from the same place and into my gun.

[Vulture Bee Shot x30] Loaded!

I started to pump shots into the creature, but they seemed to be having the same effect as the Hammer Shot. I rammed the Dragoon Rifle back in my chest and pulled out the other two blades, and advanced on the Monstrapede that had slowed down to start circling me.

[BeeBliss Blades] Activated!

Yes, I know that! You just told me! Ugh, I was really missing having Hilda around to help me out with these things, but maybe I had become too reliant on her.

I needed to start being able to do things for myself from now on; Queen be damned. It was only a title, and right now, it is basically useless.

I focused on the monster and then dove at it, but the thing was much faster than I had anticipated. As I dove for it, the Monstrapede dodge me and then bit down on my back.

I screamed in pain as I tried to swing at the creature, but it let go right away and backed off. The pain burned through my body, but I could feel myself slowly start to heal, but this was no good.

I slowly straightened myself out, but the Monstrapede watched me as I did. This creature was far too clever and fast for its own good and mine!

"You need to hold it off. The Vulture Bees are working, but they will take time to take effect, but you also need to stay near it," Atom said in my mind, startling me out of my pain.

I could do that, but for how long?

It was like the creature was reading my mind because it stopped trying to circle me and then charged. I focused and waited till the last second and targeted the joints where the legs came from the body and where the top and bottom carapace met.

I wasn\'t able to get more than the tip in of each blade, but I was planted low enough that the creature could not bite me. The Monstrapede started to, but I activated a thruster that emerged from my back and pushed me into the creature, pinning me on it but not getting closer.

The boost I was using was not meant for this, and I would only have limited use of it before it needed to recharge. I needed to think of something fast or hope that the Vulture Bees worked faster than ten seconds!
