Boss Battle! Against the Queen Bee!

-----

The next two rooms after the first one were exactly the same, and we fought 10 Giant Bees each, they barely dropped any gold, but the amount of EXP they gave was very nice, my EXP Bar was already almost filled up, we needed to kill the Boss and I would reach Level 10.

Kireina and Ervas were also leveling steadily, Kireina had reached Level 5, while Ervas Leve 6.

It seems that when a Summon has more Stars, the speed at which they level up is slower, this is why Ervas was able to get a level ahead.

However, higher Stars means she gets way more stats per level up, so Kireina is growing even stronger than before, but she still is getting used to her abilities, and says that she requires more practice… And well if I had more Mana she could go a bit more all out.

Meanwhile, Ervas stats have increased, but he's pretty focused in Magic, while everything else increases very little while Kireina is an all-rounder where she gets vitality, strength, magic, and dexterity.

They also seem to have level caps at level 10, I wonder what can happen after they reach it… Maybe they can change Jobs?

No… They clearly don't have those… then what?

Evolving?

Maybe they can evolve instead of getting Jobs like me… I didn't think about that.

But indeed, most of my characters can evolve in my novels, Kireina and Ervas also evolved after reaching level cap.

Well, whatever is the case, I don't think it will be anything bad.

After resting for a few minutes, we decided to enter the Boss room.

A large magic circle quickly emerged, as the shadow of a gigantic monster appeared.

It had the shape of the bees we have bee fighting, but it was gigantic, and it had a golden crown atop its head. The beast was at least 4 meters tall, and its abdomen extended over another 3 meters.

There were several holes within its abdomen, and it had no stinger…

Oh wait… don't tell me…

The Bee Queen quickly began to produce grubs within her insides, which emerged as smaller bees, although they were not the size of a car, they were the size of a… well, an adult dog.

But they were a ton!

The Bee Queen kept producing them, as we quickly braced ourselves and began slaying the smaller Bees while rushing towards the Bee Queen, which seemed to not fancy close combat.

"Bbzzzzz!"

The Queen Bee released a loud sound produced by her wings, as the many smaller Bee Soldiers flew towards us at fast speed, pointing their stingers at us and trying to impale us with them!

Kireina quickly jumped into the frontlines, extending a large mass of flesh from her left arm, and hitting three Soldier Bees in a single hit, while using her right arm to slash into pieces another three Bees with her powerful Spear, unleashing chaotic black-colored energy waves with each slash.

Slash! Slash! Slash!

With Kireina alone, most of the room was already cleaned off the Soldier Bees, but new ones kept appearing. The worst part, these things didn't give any EXP nor dropped gold.

The Queen Bee probably used them to attack us and wear us down, if I were alone into this, I would have been surely killed already.

Thankfully, as a Summoner, relying on my summons is the most natural thing to do, and Kireina was doing an excellent job at reinforcing such belief.

However, six more Soldier Bees appeared already, pushing us back while trying to kill us by piercing our bodies with their stingers.

I braced myself and touched a totem I was trying to get nearby, which made my body overflow with red-colored energy, increasing my vitality and strength by 20% for a few minutes.

With this slight powerup, I raised my bat and began to crush bees with it, its power had increased a bit now, and thanks to Slaughter Heal, even if I were sometimes pierced by the stingers, as long as I killed the bees, I would get some heal back.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

As if they were baseball balls, I threw each bee into the air with my hits, while Ervas at my side occasionally healed me or Kireina while shooting Telekinesis Bullets at the bees that we missed to catch.

Like this, we continued for a few minutes, each step closer to the Queen Bee.

However, instead of becoming scared, the Queen Bee suddenly turned completely red after we got near her. She stopped producing bees and her legs shapeshifted into sharp scythes!

Are you kidding me?!

"BBBZZZ!"

Emanating an ear-piercing sound, the Queen Bee rushed headfirst towards me, aiming to slice me up with her scythes!

"Kireina!"

"I am here for you!"

Kireina quickly flew to protect me, intercepting the Queen Bee with her spear and hitting her multiple times with Blood Blades, which drained a ton of my Mana!

Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash!

"BBBZZZ!"

However, as if completely crazed with bloodthirsty, the Queen Bee kept attacking her as it received the piercing attacks of her spear and her blood blades.

Ervas quickly assisted Kireina as he constantly healed larger wounds that she wouldn't be able to regenerate on her in time, while I began to surround the Queen Bee.

SLASH! CLASH!

Kireina suddenly managed to impale the Queen Bee's head!

But that wasn't enough?!

The Queen Bee twisted its body as it directed its gigantic scythes towards Kireina's head, trying to take her down!

However, I reached her back and braced myself, suddenly feeling a rush of energy, mana, as it was absorbed by my Bat!

With a single swipe of my arms, the bat hit the Queen Bee's pierced head, crushing it into the ground as it exploded like a watermelon falling off a cliff!

CLASH!

Boom!

The body fell over the ground motionless, as I sighed in relief.

"Master you shouldn't have worried, I can always regenerate, even if it hits my head…" said Kireina.

"…I know. I just… wanted to take it down on my own, nothing else…" I said… Well, perhaps I forgot that for a few seconds.

Or maybe I just didn't want to see something like Kireina's head flying over the air…

Anyways, Kireina smiled warmly as she hugged me.

"Hehe, it makes me happy that you worry about me despite my strength…"

"Worrying? …Perhaps. Anyways, let's go out for now," I said.
