Ray and Seto get ready for battle instantly before the queen bee shows up blasting the dirt.

Seto stepped on the ground, so that he could attack at any time.

Ray unlocked the wind's hand, putting up Death Size and Dusk Spears.

(Even so, I didn't expect the queen bee to show up from herself.... about a queen bee, so naturally she was in the deepest part of the nest)

Seto's skills, poisonous nails… It also came from the deepest part of such nests to the ground amidst smoke that burned trees invaded by poison by powerful Level Six skills.

That, too, is just called a queen bee, whose appearance is overwhelmingly greater than that of a regular bee.

That was the size of the bee that came out of this nest about fifty centimeters long, but the queen bee was nearly five meters long and ten times larger.

"This again..."

Its immensity leaks a surprising voice from Ray's mouth.

Nevertheless, it would still be to such an extent as ordinary surprise rather than stunning, because I have seen many monsters since entering the Devil's Forest.

Black snakes and giant wolves in particular were clearly more gigantic than queen bees.

"Giggle, giggle, giggle!"

The queen bee, who appeared on the ground, waves her wings wide as she squeals in frustration.

That scatters all the poisonous smoke that was drifting around by Ray releasing the wind's hands.

Sometimes they were already about to burn, and if they hadn't burned the poisoned tree with poison claws, the poison smoke would have disappeared sooner or later.

Given that, I'm pretty sure what the Queen Bee did didn't make much sense.

Nevertheless, even though it could instinctively be inferred that the Queen Bee would have considerable strength in its movements alone.

(Normally, when it comes to queen bees and queen ants, I get the impression that it's my job to lay eggs. As far as this goes, it obviously looks stronger than a regular bee.... Well, considering the Queen of Dragonias, that's also convincing)

The Queen of Dragonias was an egg as Ray thought...... or like having a child.

But besides having kids, I'm pretty sure he had a lot of fighting power, even on his own.

If so, it wouldn't be strange for a queen bee to have high combat power either.

(Though...)

Yes, Ray thinks as he looks at the queen bee staring at herself and Seto.

The queen bee at the end of her gaze is definitely a high ranking monster.

I can see that.

But at the same time, the black snake was obviously inferior to the giant wolf, naturally.

Stronger than the Rank B Monster but weaker than the Rank A Monster.

That was Ray's honest thoughts on seeing the queen bee.

That's only Ray's impression, though, and I don't know if that's actually the case.

At least, as far as Ray can remember, there were some bee monsters on there that resembled the Monster Dictionary, but I just have to take care of that impression more than it is true that this monster is not on there.

(Besides, I felt weaker than a giant wolf only by looking at this queen bee, the rank of a monster is not simply determined by strength)

Massive bees of fifty centimeters in length… if that's what you can have countless times, the influence is very high.

That's why I couldn't deny the possibility that maybe the Queen Bee is a Rank A monster...

Still, beyond being able to recognize it as a Rank A monster from Ray's perspective, this queen bee decides to remove it from the rank A monster frame for now.

"Giggy, giggy..."

Can't stand the stare anymore, the queen bee makes a threatening noise toward Ray and Seto.

But Ray sees such a queen bee and is uncomfortable... immediately convinced.

"Seto, if we're going to attack, we better hurry. Now, this queen bee is still poisoned!

"Gru!?...... Grrrrrrrrrrrr!

Seto was only inclined to his neck at first to Ray's words, but soon he understands the meaning of those words.

The queen bee was definitely in the back of the nest - not sure if it was the deepest part.

And in the nest, Ray was using the hands of the wind to send the poison smoke that was made of burning a tree invaded by poison with Seto's poison claws.

And while the other bees in the nest could no longer move due to poison, they moved through the nest full of poison smoke, so they would inhale poison smoke even during that move.

Not to mention that if you went up through the nest, you would naturally get a denser poison because it would be like moving towards a thicker spot of poison smoke.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!"

Having heard Ray's words, Seto simply activates the ice arrow.

Fifty ice arrows appearing around Seto are immediately released towards the queen bee.

Flying slaughter!

Ray also unleashes a slash that swings a death size and flies at the same time as such a ceto.

I could have thrown a spear of dusk if I had, but I wanted to refrain from throwing a spear of dusk and scratching more than Seto uses an ice arrow.

That was the attack of Ray and Seto unleashed, but the queen bee lets its wings flap violently the moment she sees the attack.

Bubble bubble, a familiar sound echoed around for Ray and Seto that

Naturally, a queen bee means nothing... or intimidation did not act like that for the purpose.

Its feathers emit shock waves at the same time, and all the ice arrows that were headed for the queen bee take their aim off.

Flying slaughter had sometimes been enhanced to level five, and among its shockwaves it proceeded towards the queen bee… nevertheless, the rays were gradually diverted by successive shockwaves emitted, which eventually did not hit the queen bee and flew in an unawares direction.

And, naturally, the shock waves released don't just prevent Ray and Seto from attacking, they strike even towards Ray and Seto.

"Chi!

Ray wields magic through the Death Size in a half-reflective fashion, cutting off the invisible presence of a shock wave.

Seto took the shock wave from the front as he put force into his body.

The shockwave itself is releasing continuously, but it's not so vicious.

Ray's death size is natural, but Seto's physical abilities would have sufficiently withstood it.

But... just because you can stand it doesn't mean it won't hurt...

"Grrrrrrrrrrrr!"

Seto produces fifty ice arrows again when he rings loud.

Still got the same skills?

If so, would the shock wave produced by the queen bee divert the aim again?

I had that question Ray, but I don't think Seto would do anything meaningless.

If so, now I try to see what Seto is after, and decide that Seto's aim may fail if I get my hands on him poorly here, and watch things as he prepares to react immediately if anything happens.

The arrows of ice thus unleashed, unlike earlier, are concentrated in one place.

Sometimes the queen bee was big earlier, and it was released extensively as if it should be hit for now, but this time it was different.

It targeted the central part of the queen bee and fired a dense blow.

Once again, the queen bee emits a shock wave by violently shaking her wings.

The flow so far was no different than before, but it was different from there.

Though the shock wave deflects the rays of the ice arrows, that deviant ice arrow hits another ice arrow right next door and returns to its original location.

Naturally, though the collided ice arrow deviates from the ray, it hits another ice arrow just outside of it and goes back to normal.

So the undone ice arrow is also deflected from the ray by the shock wave again, repeating that it hits the nearby ice arrow again to undo it.

Naturally if we repeat that, the more time passes, the more the ice arrows will go off their aim.

But that's only a matter of time.

The distance between Seto and the queen bee is quite open, but still only to a considerable extent.

Above and beyond that, the flying ice arrows are hit by the Queen Bee's body before they are completely misdirected...... eventually.

"Giggle, giggle, giggle!"

A queen bee screaming at the pierced pain of an ice arrow.

But if you look closely at its body, only slightly tipped are the ice arrows piercing it.

"That's something like a high-ranking monster"

From what Ray has seen so far, the power of the ice arrows is quite high.

Since such a blow is fired fifty times in a row, words such as annihilation would be more correct to describe its offensive power.

So the fact that the tip of the ice arrow just stabbed a little bit of the current attack is more than indicative of how powerful the queen bee is.

Besides, as Ray said to Seto, it's still poisonous and weak in the present situation.

It's this in that situation, so I guess it's just something called a high-ranking monster.

"Seto, it's hard to attack from a distance. I'm going to put a stop to this melee. But watch out for that shock wave!

With Death Size and a spear of dusk in his hand, Ray screams that way toward Seto as he proceeds toward the queen bee.

To Ray's words like that, Seto understood! and ring briefly, then pack an intermission with the queen bee.

With Ray turning to the left of the queen bee, Seto is on the right.

Close combat is definitely more effective than long-range combat than poisonous effects remain.

Above all, it is very significant that despite all those splendid winged queen bees, they have not flown in the sky.

Perhaps if you recover from the effects of poison, you will start flying and fighting in the sky.

Of course, if the opponent is going to fly in the sky, Ray can also imitate things like flying in the ceto, but given the current situation, I don't want to imitate that if I can.

Because there are definitely flying monsters in the Devil's Forest.

In fact, Hippogriff is attacking me.

I want to avoid imitations like fighting high-ranking monsters like Queen Bee, but also other monsters, as far as Ray can.

It's a monster flying through the Devil's Forest sky, so in some cases it could be a high-ranking monster.

I also want to avoid Ray being in battle with such a high ranking monster and triplets...... no, it will be more than that number of monsters.

That's why the queen bees needed to be knocked down before they could fly.

"Power slash!

Long-range skills don't pass by shock waves, and even if you manage to hit them, they can't do that easily.

But if ranged skills don't work, you can use melee skills.

Power slashes in particular are very powerful for just one blow using Death Size.

And fortunately for Ray, it's Seto, not Ray, the queen bee feeling threatened.

Earlier Ray's flying slaughter could be missed in the same direction, but Seto's unleashed arrows of ice did more or less damage to the Queen Bee.

That must have been why the Queen Bee was wary of Seto.

Though...... that doesn't mean I'm completely defenseless in Ray's offense.

The sight of a queen bee is considerable by the double eyed.

That's how easy it is to keep an eye out for Seto's attacks while keeping an eye out for Ray.

But... Still, that action is only a big mistake for the queen bee.

Bringing Ray closer with Death Size and Dusk Spears and extrahuman physical abilities means a major crisis.

Nevertheless, it was only natural to turn consciousness to Seto, who has an overwhelming giant over Ray if he tried to be a queen bee.

That... the power slash released from Ray's swinging death size makes me prove it brilliantly.

"Gee yee!"

As a queen bee, that's what I would have thought if I could prevent a Death Size blow.

But Ray's unleashed blow is powerful beyond such a queen's expectations, and then heavy.

Still, it was only from the Queen Bee's instinctive movements that she was cut off a few of her legs, not her torso... to such a Queen Bee, where Seto, momentarily delayed from Ray and in time, waves a blow to her forefoot.

The Queen Bee chooses to evade such an attack of Ceto rather than take it immediately.

Because Ray's blow has taken so much damage, he probably couldn't have chosen to imitate that he would take Seto's attack.

Naturally, queen bees don't just dodge either.

Quickly tremble the wings, trying to damage both Ray and Seto as they approached...

"Let it be!

"Gru!"

Ray's unleashed dusk spear and a blow from Seto's Power Attack hit the Queen Bee's wings.
