Outside the 'Beehive Enclave' dungeon.
"Mr. Blaze may I ask what your class is?"
"Sure, I am a combatant and Frore is a supporter."
"That's great. Also the preparations are complete, let's enter."
Yena and the Red - Slash guild members entered first. Blaze was about to enter too, but stopped, because Frore hadn't moved from his position at all and seemed to be lost in thought.
Blaze moved towards him, "What's wrong?"
"....Nothing, let's go." Frore entered the dungeon.
"???" : Blaze
The inside of the dungeon looked exactly like a beehive and as the name suggests the final boss was 'queen bee'. Fighting her is difficult because of the guard bees . Since, although the dungeon is ranked B , all of her guards are B+ in rank and she , herself is B - ranked.
But, that doesn't matter to Blaze or Frore though, they're both strong enough to solo this dungeon, even without needing each other's help.
As, they kept walking inside the dungeon .They didn't encounter any bees.
This is pretty weird...the bees surround the intruders as soon they sense someone entering, but we have been walking for half an hour and still there is no sign of them. That women must be up to something.
While Blaze had that thought , they encountered a folk in the road.
"Hmm...this is problematic , I don't know where we should go from here. How about we divide ourselves in groups and then go ? What do you say Mr. Blaze?"
"Ok, I and Frore will be in one group , you and your guild can take the other path." Blaze said nonchalantly, although he very much liked the idea of being separated from her.
"I am afraid it might be too much for only you and your brother to go alone, even if you are an A- rank." She made a worried expression and then continued.
"I understand that you have trust in your abilities , but you lack in experience and one can never be too careful. How about i come with you? My guild members are all experienced veterans . They won't face too much difficulty, but i am worried about you."
"That's fine."
Blaze's reply was unhesitant which made Frore think that he agreed quickly , because he wanted to be with that woman, this made him feel bitter.
This situation was very unpleasant to him, he just wanted to finish this raid quickly and go back home with Blaze.
When Blaze agreed his face was expressionless as always, but his internal thoughts weren't so calm.
Shit! If it wasn't for the system telling me to agree with you , do you think i would standing here with you even for a minute, you double - faced snake like women!?
While Yena was discussing something with her group. Frore tugged on Blaze's shoulder and quickly whispered to him , "something doesn't feel right. We have been walking for sometime, but there are no sign of bees ; who would have usually surrounded us as soon as we entered."
"I feel the same way, stay alert. Also, don't trust that women , i feel like she is up to something". Blaze whispered back.
After Frore heard this, he felt a strange sense of relief.
Yena came back , "Then, shall we continue?"
After walking for a few minutes , they felt the buzzing of bees coming from the front and the back.
How the hell... could i have forgotten about that ?
What Blaze was thinking about, was Yena Hartfelt's special skill that has a cooltime period of 4 months. It is a skill that enables her to hide her and her selected people's presence from the monsters in the dungeon for about an hour.
In the beginning , she must have included us in her skill, but when we separated from her group ; she must have removed us from her skills effect. Explains why no bees were attacking us before.
"Frore! give me a sword and get behind me."
Frore tactically understood that it meant, he should use his skills vigilantly while remaining unnoticed.
Frore quickly made a rare - ranked sword . While, Yena took out her wand. Soon, bees started surrounding the two of them and Yena disappeared in the group of bees.
While, Blaze was busy, wiping them out with his "Born for the sword [Lvl. 50]" skill, whose power was enough to wipe out hundreds of bees at once; Frore was also busy manipulating the bees and moving them towards Blaze's attacks, with his "shadow snatcher" skill.
The bees kept on coming from all directions, they were just too many in numbers.
