The Mother Bee fires three stings at Lyrica instead of attacking her head-on. This is due to the girl who purposely let her hand be stabbed by the Mother Bee for her to land a counterattack.
This made the monster realize that the human in front of it is not afraid of putting herself in the line of fire for the sake of allowing her to exchange blows with the Mother Bee.
That being said, the Mother Bee concluded that it's no longer safe to try and overwhelm Lyrica with its agility.
Meanwhile, after uttering the words "40dB: Hip Hop," Lyrica starts emitting green light all over her body. The light soon disappeared into her body.
As the stings reach the point where Lyrica could try and catch them if she extends one of her hands forward, the girl opens her mouth.
"Breaking."
The stings are flying straight at the girl with a speed that she could only tell they are coming once they already get dangerously close to her. This is the reason why she can avoid direct hits, but still gets grazed by them.
But then...
Krrr...!
Sway! Lean!
As soon as she mouthed a single word with a calm voice, Lyrica begins performing movements that leave the Mother Bee in surprise.
Lyrica avoided those stings with swift, yet so effortless and so fluid movements that it almost looks like her body reacted on its own. Still staring into nothingness is Lyrica, but her face directed in the direction of the Mother Bee makes it seem like she could see the creature clearly.
Right at that moment, Lyrica stomps the ground and dashes forth.
The Mother Bee was surprised to see the human effortlessly dodging her stings. But when Lyrica suddenly came face-to-face with the creature, it was so taken aback that the Mother Bee failed to figure out what to do to respond to the girl's all-so-sudden approach.
Lyrica clenched her fist, carrying the momentum she created with that swift dash, and throws an uppercut at the defenseless Mother Bee.
The monster violently crashed to the ceiling before descending back down helplessly.
Lyrica, readying her left fist as if she's cocking a gun, watches as the Mother Bee falls right above her. Not letting the creature touch the surface easily, the girl throws an explosive left punch, sending the Mother Bee flying far across the beehive.
Kekrkkek...!
The Mother Bee flails about in pain and anguish before getting itself back up in the air one more time.
"Huh, you're still not dead?" Said Lyrica in a serene voice. "You're really tough, I guess. Although I'm sure I just need to give you a couple more blows."
A few seconds later, the Mother Bee fires several stings.
"Breaking."
But once again, Lyrica dodges all of them gracefully and beautifully. The Mother Bee frustratingly flies away while continuously shooting Lyrica with stings, hoping that the human girl wouldn't catch up and instead manage to get a direct hit at her.
However, Lyrica showed to the creature once again how she avoided everything completely. She proved to the monster that its attacks are useless. As soon as she got herself in range, the girl's right fist stretches towards the Wither Bee's abdomen.
POW!
Wooosh~!
Crash!!
The Mother Bee doesn't know what the girl did that allowed her to turn the table against the creature. All it knows is that everything started when that green light enveloped her body before it vanished.
"This is it."
If anything, the one thing the creature is certain about is that there's no way for the Mother Bee to win, at all.
Lyrica stomps the ground and starts sprinting towards the Mother Bee. For the very first time, the Mother Bee instinctively felt fear.
The Mother Bee tries to escape and hurriedly flies in the direction of the exit.
"Hey, where are you going?" Lyrica asked calmly.
Unfortunately for the Mother Bee, the girl's sudden increase in speed made it literally impossible to outrun the human.
Lyrica bashes the creature from behind using her whole body, preventing the creature from even getting closer to the exit.
The Mother Bee tries to get back up, although it was quickly intercepted by Lyrica who jumps right on top of it, pinning the creature to the surface.
"You should have run long ago. I might have actually let you escape, hunt you down when you finally give birth to your new children, and give me more EXP."
Lyrica's left hand reaches for the Mother Bee's head who didn't even try to fight back, realizing it is the end.
"Actually, you know what, letting you go might endanger the town." Said Lyrica towards the Mother Bee in a dead calm tone. "I can't let the possibility of not finding you and then suddenly appearing with an army to attack Takkot. Not when I'm out of this town."
Lyrica tightens her grasp to the Mother Bee's head and then brutally pulling it out of its body.

She backs away by a few meters from the dead Mother Bee and lets herself fall, having her back against the ground.
"So it's not enough to get me to Lv. 30, huh... Wait, some got out and chased Riko and the others."
From the corner of her eyes, she can see the duration of Hip Hop down to less than a minute. Right after that she opens her character window, went to the playlist, and opens the music info for Hip Hop.

"It's not like the EXP will get a multiplier with my current level." Said Lyrica as she gently puts her head back to the ground made of wax. "I'll just rest here for a while... No, maybe not. Their disgusting smell is overwhelming even their own honey."
