Chapter 4 - The Invaders

Hello my friends? You know, it's quite boring here, but killing all these beasts around here is quite fun, right? No? Okay.

Am I considered weird? Would they say, I have mental issues for having monologue with myself the whole day. Maybe. But there's no one to talk to! The Bees can't talk. We can only do basic communication.

But let's look into this. This guy I named 'Marc'. He is quite old. I mean like he has 3 pair of wings. Plus they are hard like steel. He's nice. When I am hungry and he has food he gives me a bit.

And that Bee over there is 'Yosh'. He is weird. But strong. His body is like a tank... No, he is a tank. His resistances are extremely high and after watching his fighting style, I decided to give him the name 'Living Artillery Yosh'.

And of course, her highness, the Queen. She's cool. I wasn't able to decide on a name for her. She always takes care of all of us, but she also has a lot to do.

The problem hereby is, that I named them my Assistant said.

[A monster with a name is few times stronger than one without the name. You were born with a name given by the gods, that's why your racial level is higher and you were able to give a name to another monster. ]

Simple MMORPG logic, you know. Most bosses are named. But in the end they are the same race as the weaker version. But Monsters with a name are really strong. That's probably the other reason, why I was able to defeat the monsters so easily.

But after I heard that, I paid more attention to these two. They must become a lot stronger through my naming. I first realised the difference yesterday.

I still felt awkward walking with six legs and I tumbled and fell down. Marc helped me getting up and patted on my back. That's not something a normal bee would have done. The other would have dodged me and continued their jobs.

But if that's true, than I can rest assured. With the help of these two, the hive will be a lot safer. We should start getting the bee's here stronger. There should be an upcoming enemy, I feel. Why? Do you remember what Assistant-sama told us.

We are possible to be a calamity. And from what I saw, we are around hundred bee's now, which wouldn't be a high number for normal bees, but for monster bees, that's a lot.

"hahah!"

"What is it captain." a soldier asked the man infornt of him.

"These 'cleaning actions normally don't take much time and is a lot easier than everything else! But the reward itself is higher than guarding the kingdom all day long." an answer was given.

The soldiers came to the edge of the forest and in the distance the hive was visible. They started to took out everything from their backpack and built up their camp.

---

A new day! Yay! Let's go out and kill another beast today! Maybe it will be enough to get to Level 5 and evolve! Ok, let's do this!

I stood up and slapped myself with my front pair of legs. I started to use them as hand-like existences. I flew up in the sky but I smelled a small trace of blood!

If were lucky, it's nothing serious. But! Let's not think about it too much. I followed the trace of blood but there was something which shouldn't be there.

Smoke rose up to the sky. Smoke? There has to be a fire! In the forest. I flew nearer to get a better look on the situation. And what was there.

A camp! With humans! But why would an army of humans camp out here next to the bee hive. Extermination camp. They wait when we fly out and kill us! But we won't allow this.

I flew back before they spotted me. Danger!

As quick as possible I flew into the hive and searched form the air. There she is! Oh no! Too fast!

In my rush I didn't control my flight and crashed right into the ground infront of her highness. She looked at me confused.

Pheromones. Right! I learned a bit about the Pheromones. There were a few which I found quite important. One is signaling danger. I quickly used them and drew a human face into the ground while pointing outside.

Marc and Yosh were nearby and quickly understood my intentions. They readied the whole hive and all the bees for an incoming atttack.

Maybe this is the right moment? If I name her, her highness would be a lot stronger than now. But a name? For a queen. Elizabeth? Like from britain. No. Something different! Elizabeth...Isabel?...Isabell.

Isabell the german version of the name Isabel which is a Provençal form of the name Elizabeth. Yes, I decided. Isabell shall be your name.

I bowed infront of her and gathered a few bees including Marc and Yosh. Ok, guys you understand. We have to defend the hive. Whatever it takes! Even our lives. I raised my right arm up into the sky.

While Marc and Yosh copied my movement the other seemed rather confused. Whatever. I flew out followed up into the sky. I watched the camp again. Maybe?

Let's start with Acid Bombs and fired multiple of them. Marc just stood by my side for now. His acid is not very useful. But Yosh staterd his artillery. While I use my bee organs to create acid and spit the out of my mouth, his is more impressive.

Multiple magical circles appeared in the sky and hundreds of small bullets rained form the sky. It seemed like they were suprised form the sudden attack.

One archer came out and readied an arrow. I rushed straight down. Venomous bite, I screamed out. I flew right past the arrow and took a big bite into his neck. Just the day before I out another point into my pincers and in combination with my skills it's deadly. His neck was broken within one second and I just let him go, after the notification came.

[The skill [Venomous Bite Lvl 1] became [Venomous Bite Lvl 2].]

[You killed [Human Archer Lvl 19].]

[Gaining Experience]

[Own Level from 4 to 5]

[Evolution is ready]

Bonus Info:

Like said in the chapter, Isabell is the german-version of Isabel, which is the Provencal from of the Elizabeth. Provencal Dialect is a dialect spoken by minority of people in southern france, mostly in Provencal. These names come from the Hebrew "Elisheba" , which means "God is my oath".
