Bzzzz…
The 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
[Mutated Bee - level 28]
[Battle power 24]
There are six of them, and their attention were all focused on him.
One look at their high stats, and Viktor didn't even need a second to take the right course of action.
"Retreat!"
In 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.
… right?!
As the sound of buzzing wingbeats got closer and closer, the faster his confidence crumbled into nothing.
Bzzzz.. bzzzz…
"Thank you for the news Djinn!"
"Blyat!! The Djinn doesn't understand sarcasm!"
As 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.
He 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.
The 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.
As he ran, he occasionally glanced at his chasers before finally choosing a target.
The one on the far right!
He 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.
Swiissh!
Unfortunately, He missed it!
The bee was merely the size of a tennis ball and also was much faster than him, hence Viktor got his timing wrong.
"Darn it!"
While 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.
This time, he must find the right timing and nail it.
The 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.
As he ran, he counted down, and with the right timing, he swung his blade upward just directly in front of him.
Swissh! Splatt!
His knife was able to split the bee into two. From the air, an orb appeared and flew into his chest.
[You have received the spirit energy of mutated bee - level 24.]
[You have received one point of agility]
Before he could laugh, he saw the dead bee's remains splash some kind of greenish, goo-like liquid towards him.
On 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.
"Arrgghh!"
It 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.
To 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.
He was now surrounded.
Bzzzz… bzzzzz…
Viktor 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.
Bamm!
The 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.
Splattt!
He cut the bee in two, careful to avoid the splatter of green liquid this time.
[You have received the spirit energy of mutated bee - level 23]
[You have received one point in agility]
[You have received one spirit points]
More agility points for him, which he would direly need in such a precarious situation.
However, 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.
In this dire moment, Viktor was dwelling on whether he should use his gun or his [Allmight] skill and he only had seconds to decide.
On 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.
Not willing to give up an idea came to mind and Viktor quickly use it.
He turned toward the massive tree next to him, and placed all his strength into one strong kick.
Bamm!!
The 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
The 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.
Splaatt!!
Then, he attacked the next one, before finally, attacking the bee that just managed to shake the snow away from its wings.
One 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.
Swish!
Unfortunately, his attack missed,
Viktor 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.
This is a good day, indeed.
