Chapter 167: What A Group Of Heroes Are Capable Of (2)

Alex's PoV:

The huge cheetah fought against Distere and Distere was faring well against the huge cheetah.

The huge cheetah slashed its sharp claws towards Distere while Distere used his condensed mana sword to block the slash attack of the huge cheetah.

As the huge cheetah was being fought against by Distere, Sophie on the other hand was fighting against a huge bee.

The huge bee was fast despite its enormous size and the huge bee kept on stabbing Sophie with its sharp stinger.

Fortunately, Sophie's specialty was assassination so Sophie had practiced several times on attack evasion so no matter how fast the attack was, Sophie would be able to dodge it as long as she could predict the attack direction.

The huge bee rapidly flapped its wings, disappeared, and appeared behind Sophie in an instant.

The huge bee moved towards Sophie while aiming its stinger towards the back of Sophie.

In an instant, the huge bee's stinger pierced through Sophie's back and black smoke oozed out from Sophie's injury.

It was clear that the huge bee had attacked the shadow clone of Sophie instead of Sophie's real body. Sophie had already cast the shadow clone when Sophie had evaded the previous attack of the huge bee.

Sophie had teleported towards the shadow that was cast by one of the trees below her and she hid there when her shadow clone substituted her.

After the huge bee was fooled by Sophie, the huge bee quickly turned its head in different directions as the huge bee was attempting to find the location of Sophie.

Fortunately, the huge bee didn't possess any skills that allowed the huge bee to find its target so Sophie was well concealed in the shadow of one of the trees.

After a few seconds had passed by, Sophie created a dagger using shadow magic and stepped out of the shadow from the tree that she was hiding at.

Sophie used [Shadow Walk] to walk in the air using the shadows as a platform and went towards the huge bee.

Sophie had sneaked towards the huge bee so the huge bee didn't notice that Sophie was already behind it.

An eye for an eye. Sophie had performed the same thing the huge bee had done to her shadow clone. All that was left was to use the dagger that was made out of the shadow to pierce the back of the huge bee.

Sophie quickly stabbed the shadow dagger towards the back of the huge bee and the huge bee wasn't able to dodge the shadow dagger attack of Sophie in time so the huge bee had received the attack of Sophie.

The shadow dagger pierced through the back of the huge bee and green blood oozed out from the wound on the huge bee's back.

It was quite common for an insect-type monster to possess green blood while some demons possessed black blood.

Most of the monsters in this forest possessed red blood due to having the same characteristics as that of an animal back on Earth such as the huge cheetah and huge tiger.

The huge bee screeched in pain and it was high-pitched that it caused the surrounding high-level monsters and the heroes to cover their ears and I was not excluded from the damage that the high pitch sound had caused towards my ears.

I inserted my fingers towards my ear hole in an instant while using my mana to cover my ears. I also used space magic to create a vacuum around me so that sound wouldn't go through me since sound couldn't pass through a vacuum.

With that countermeasures, I was able to withstand the high-pitched screech sound of the huge bee but the other members of my group such as Distere weren't able to fully withstand the high-pitched screech sound of the huge bee.

Distere and the others didn't possess an affinity towards space magic so they weren't able to create a vacuum around them. Therefore, only a handful of them was able to withstand the high-pitched screech sound of the huge bee and one of them was Pedonar and Aileen.

Pedonar and Aileen were able to withstand the high-pitched screech sound of the huge bee and it was all due to their physique and bloodline since their physique and bloodline benefitted them of a durable mortal body.

Sophie was greatly affected by the high-pitched screech sound of the huge bee due to her having the ears of a wolf. Sophie's half-wolf, half-human beastman bloodline brought her more trouble than benefits.

Distere was slightly affected by the high-pitched screech sound of the huge bee and wasn't that greatly affected since his ears had already withstood the pressure that a sonic boom had affected his ears.

Distere was constantly training in improving the speed of his sword strikes so it was inevitable for him to not create a sword strike that would generate a sonic boom.

In conclusion, the only one who was greatly affected by the high-pitched screech sound of the huge bee was Sophie.

Although, I don't know if Aerin had withstood the high-pitched screech sound of the huge since she was inside the wooden hemisphere that protected and covered both Axel and her.

The huge bee's body had been badly damaged by the shadow dagger that was pierced into its back and since the shadow dagger was retracted by Sophie out of the huge bee's body, the huge bee was suffering from the pain of having a dagger pierced through its body.

The huge bee wasn't able to keep on flying due to the pain that the wound on its body had caused so its body descended towards the ground.

The huge bee's body flopped on the ground and its fall caused the ground that it had fallen on to create a small crater.

Sophie used that opportunity to finish off the huge bee as Sophie created numerous shadow dagger that was currently levitating on the air.

Sophie pointed her hand towards the huge bee which was a command signal for the shadow dagger to launch towards the body of the huge bee.

The shadow daggers that were in the air shot towards the huge bee at high speed and each shadow dagger successfully stabbed the huge bee's body.

The huge bee was now like a porcupine as numerous shadow daggers penetrated its body.

Liters of green blood spurted out from the huge bee's body like a fountain and Sophie was caught up in the green blood fountain of the huge bee.

The green blood of the huge bee smeared the silver hair of Sophie. The clear silver-white hair of Sophie was dirtied by the huge bee which caused Sophie to curse in anger towards the huge bee's body.

Sophie used her mana to create multiple shadow tentacles from the nearby shadows that were cast from the trees.

Sophie manipulated the shadow tentacles to carry and bind the huge bee. Sophie then controlled the shadow tentacles to pierced through the huge bee's body.

The huge bee's body continuously oozed out green blood as the huge bee's body was both pierced by the shadow daggers and the shadow tentacles of Sophie's shadow magic.

Sophie kept on stabbing and poking out holes from the huge bee's body using the shadow tentacles. Sophie must have been too pissed off by the huge bee which caused her to not show any remorse in torturing the huge bee to death.

Even I don't have any clue if the huge bee was still alive since the huge bee had lost too much blood from its body. The huge bee must have at least lost gallons of its green blood since its green blood had created a medium-sized puddle on the ground.

The huge bee's body had no longer moved after it was continuously pierced by the shadow tentacles of Sophie's shadow magic.

Sophie had already vented all of her anger towards the huge bee so she controlled the shadow tentacles to stab the head of the huge bee.

All of the shadow tentacles penetrated the huge bee's head and I'm certain that the huge bee was finally killed by Sophie.

I waited for the system mission to add a completion on it since Sophie had already eliminated the huge bee.

There wasn't any addition in the completed part of the system mission which meant that the huge bee wasn't dead yet.

I don't know how the huge bee was still alive despite being stabbed multiple times on its body and having its head being penetrated by numerous shadow tentacles.

The huge bee must have been one heck of a high-level monster to even survive the attacks that Sophie had inflicted on its body.

"Sophie! The huge bee is still alive! I don't know why it's alive but it doesn't change the fact that it's still alive!"

I yelled towards Sophie and told her what I had found out about the huge bee's condition.

After hearing that, Sophie created a shadow dagger and held the shadow dagger in her right hand.

Sophie then ran towards the huge bee and sliced and diced the huge bee's body into pieces.

I don't know why the huge bee was still alive but I'm sure that it's dead now.

Hopefully.
