High level Beast

Brandon rushed into the forest at high speed, pushing through the gusts of wind hitting his face.

He had left the shelter and, as expected, was pursued by many species. With no time to waste, he decided to ignore them and accelerate even faster.

Soon, the pursuers lost sight of him, but Brandon did not slow down until he reached the deadly forest. He kept running and didn't waste time with the crickets that appeared; he passed them and ran deeper into the forest.

He significantly reduced the amount of energy he expended after increasing his control. He could make the flow more stable, allowing him to reduce the amount he used.

As he ran among the giant trees, he began to encounter some bees that were in groups. He tried to dodge them or get out of their way, but they chased him.

Not wanting dead weight, he ran electricity through his arms in the form of a snake and, turning around while his body was still moving forward, fired two rays that hit two bees.

But the rays did not disappear, which surprised Brandon.

Feeling in control, he made the electricity come out of the body of the bee and shoot at the other two.

The bodies of the first bees fell, while the other two were only slightly affected by the electrical impact. Although the lightning did not dissipate, it did not contain the same power.

"The more I increase my control over the ability, the more opportunities I will have," he thought, resuming his previous position and continuing to run.

The remaining bees could not keep up with him due to the spasms caused by the lightning.

Further ahead in his vision, he could see a group of bees gathered.

Using Luzbel's analytical ability, he created two giant electric balls bigger than the ones he used on the crickets.

Although it was daytime, the lightning's brightness made the area even brighter, possibly blinding some people.

Brandon threw the electric bombs, which exploded when they reached the group of bees.

Large electric discharges began to spread throughout the forest, where even the trees closest to the explosion were destroyed. Brandon was amazed by the power of these electric bombs. The trees that he could barely scratch before were now torn apart.

Although he could not destroy them, it was a sign that his power had grown considerably. Some had been burned, causing a small fire in the area.

Brandon approached the bodies and picked up some mid-level and basic-level bodies.

He only took a few because he didn't want to fill up the storage with these bodies. He wanted to extract the cores from the other bodies, but discarded the idea. Three yellow bees were approaching him.

"High-level bees," he drew his double swords from storage and got into a defensive stance. He could use the two-handed sword if it was one on one, but this time he was facing three enemies.

The bees surrounded the corpses as if they were analyzing what had happened, then focused on Brandon and attacked, moving in different directions.

Brandon knew the battle was not going to be easy, so he backed away while trying to direct the bees.

"I'm counting on you, Luzbel."

He hadn't needed to use it in previous battles because he didn't feel as threatened, but these were high-level bees. They were at a very different level compared to the others.

[Calculating]

[Go to the right, use the fire and smoke caused by the lightning in that direction to disorient the enemy]

Following the AI's instructions, he moved in the indicated direction. One of the bees closest to him activated its four wings and moved faster.

Brandon didn't increase his speed. He knew that, unlike before, he could easily escape from these bees.

Entering the smoke and fire of the place, he could feel the heat and intensity of the flames. These flames mixed with the magical energy of the trees, so it wasn't a normal flame.

The bee that was chasing him went in first, but it felt more affected than Brandon. It moved and crashed into the trees, causing some burns.

Feeling the opportunity arrive, he ran after the beast and, jumping onto its back, gave two X-shaped hits with his sword.

Buzzzzz!

The bee felt the hit and turned its body and threw itself to the ground.

Brandon jumped from behind, falling before the bee. Touching the ground with his back to the bee, he turned, swung his sword, and connected with the bee's head.

The sword hit the head but didn't cut it, so he applied more force to his hand, making his sword penetrate the skull, sending electric shocks through the brain.

He pulled out his sword, moved his other hand, and connected another hit to the bee's head.

[You have killed the high-level deadly bee (1)]

He took the beast's body, but didn't waste much time. The heat was affecting him, and the other two bees hadn't fallen into the trap.

Taking a strong impulse, he left the fire and felt relief as he was starting to suffocate from the smoke.

He didn't know if this would cause a forest fire. Still, he doubted it; the only damaged parts of the trees were the ones he attacked.

Getting out of his thoughts, he stopped abruptly and began to look around. The bees were nowhere to be seen.

"What happened? Are they chasing someone else?"

He started moving again towards the ones he killed before and was surprised by what he saw.

The bees were eating the bodies and cores of the dead. Other bees had appeared, and the two high-level bees surrounded them as if they were supervisors.

He didn't know if it was something terrible that was happening. Still, he wasn't going to find out, so he decided to load two more electric bombs but not of the same magnitude as the previous ones.

The number of live bees was much lower than before, and besides the two high-level bees, no other bees were at the medium or high level.

He loaded his bombs, and the two high-level bees felt the energy, so they turned and saw Brandon.

For some reason, he felt that the bees were surprised to see him.

He threw the two bombs, which dispersed, killing the last of the bees.

The two high-level beasts flapped their wings and charged at Brandon.

Brandon took a battle position and waited for the right moment.

When they were as close as he could get, he applied great force to the swords while launching two attacks towards the bees.

The swords collided with the stingers, causing the sword blades to break. The bees, for their part, were not unscathed, and their stingers had cracked.

Losing his two weapons, he unsheathed the sword on his back and channeled enough energy to make his other sword start to show small cracks.

He launched a horizontal attack in the shape of a moon.

[Energy: 960/1800]

[The beast sacrificed its soul to reincarnation and left a rune of the soul]

Brandon let out a sigh. He had spent a considerable amount of energy, but not that much. He also felt happy; he had made another rune, although he didn't know what type of soul rune it would be.

He approached the bodies saving them in the dimensional space. When he thought about getting closer to the other bodies to collect the cores, he felt a suffocating pressure.

His skin was prickling, and he felt a tremendous amount of danger. A crystalline-colored bee appeared and looked towards Brandon. His body moved on its own, and activating his power, he moved through the trees at incredible speed, but he could still maneuver well.

His stats had increased, and with his ocular power, it was easy. He soon felt danger; still, his instincts told him not to stop.

After a while of running, when he ran out of energy, he stumbled and rolled on the ground until he collided with a tree.

"What the hell was that?"
