Queen Wasp of Zeus on the 33rd Floor

She fell into the vertical cave.

She didn’t know how deep it was.

But the light was flashing more and more.

It was lightning.

The [Zeus Hornet]s clinging to the walls were releasing the lightning they had accumulated.

The lightning exploded in flashes, trying to electrocute Americano, but the lightning attacks were useless.

Trying to win by using lightning against an Electrical Ability user was a flawed idea from the start.

She grabbed the sword with both hands. She rotated her body, switching the positions of her head and legs.

[Phantom Sword]

[Full Bloom]

[Storm Sword]

A hurricane mixed with blades swept through the vertical cave, and the lightning contained within the [Zeus Hornet]s created flashes and thunder in the storm.

As soon as the [Storm Sword] stopped, she used [Storm Sword] in succession.

Sweeping away the [Zeus Hornet]s waiting on the walls of the vertical cave as she fell.

Suddenly.

The space widened.

It was dark, but she could feel the flow of air spreading out.

She even sensed the Electrical Signals coming from all directions with her Electrical Ability.

She had arrived at the real nest of the [Zeus Hornet]s.

Electrical Signals were laid out on the floor.

She identified the landing point.

Trampling on the insects on the floor,

She landed roughly.

Americano took out the [Magic Sword] from her Inventory and ignited it with flames.

The underground space brightened.

A large room that seemed to have been prepared like a foyer.

Insects swarmed on the walls and ceiling. Seeing the insects gathered all at once sent chills down her spine.

There was something good to use in times like this.

Whoosh.

Flames bloomed.

[Boost]

She transferred the flames of the [Magic Sword] to her body.

She fed it with Magical Power to increase the output.

As if using her Awakened Ability,

The blue flames grew larger.

The [Zeus Hornet]s, who were about to use lightning, staggered and swayed, and the ones clinging to the ceiling and walls poured down.

She swung the [Magic Sword] to spread the flames.

The entire floor was engulfed in blue flames.

The insects jumped in surprise at the fire that clung to them, but they couldn’t put out the fire that had already stuck.

They fled through the holes drilled in the walls of the room.

There were many holes in the room.

She jumped into any hole.

In the narrow passage, [Form 3 Storm Sword] in conjunction with [Phantom Sword] annihilated the insects.

It became an Area-of-Effect Skill with no room to dodge, tearing the insects to shreds like a mixer.

The [Zeus Hornet]s couldn’t even approach Americano and were swept away.

Her pace was relentless.

[Storm Sword] swept through the passage.

Using [Boost] didn’t increase the power of [Storm Sword], but,

The flames on her body while using [Boost] emitted as much intense heat as the Magical Power it consumed.

Insects were weak to heat.

Even if they were monsters, it was the same.

She looked exhausted.

Whenever she entered a large room, the heat of [Boost] exerted a more extensive power than [Storm Sword].

The [Zeus Hornet]s were definitely stronger than the [Skeleton], but if they collapsed with a single Skill, they were all the same.

“If it keeps up like this, the boss will be obvious.”

The scale of the [Zeus Hornet]s was quite large, but the larger the scale, the lower the expectation for the boss.

Because the larger the scale, the weaker the boss would be.

If the scale was large and the boss was strong…

Was that balance okay?

Thinking positively, she could assume that the boss was strong, so the scale was large, but this world was a game, so she couldn’t say for sure.

Game balance would be an important element in the game.

“….”

Americano shook off her sword.

Behind her, the [Zeus Hornet]s fell.

They couldn’t fly and were struggling, but the insects’ tenacity and enthusiasm were gradually reflected in their eyes.

Their efforts were commendable, but the more the insects tried, the stronger her conviction became.

If she followed this path, there would be a boss.

She ran leisurely.

The ambushing [Zeus Hornet]s raised their heads to try to surprise her, but only their heads flew into the air.

Cutting them was faster than ambushing.

“….”

Besides, it was the boss of the bees.

That’s why she didn’t expect much.

If it was the boss of the bees, it would be the Queen Bee.

Since it was Zeus, would it be Hera Queen?

The name wouldn’t change, would it?

As far as she had seen coming here, the name [Zeus Hornet] only had ranks added, such as [Zeus Soldier Hornet], and no other insects like Hercules Beetle had been found.

Even if it was a boss monster,

“It’ll be the Zeus Queen Wasp.”

Then, something crimson appeared.

[Zeus General Wasp]

Crimson letters.

If it was crimson, was it a 20-level difference?

‘Since I’m level 33.’

It was estimated to be level 53.

The [Zeus General Wasp] was small.

While the [Zeus Hornet] was as big as a car, the [Zeus General Wasp] was slightly larger than a human, stood on two legs like a human, and had four arms.

Each hand held a sword, and she could see traces of learned skills in the way it held its posture stably.

It extended its sword.

Lightning.

Bang.

‘It doesn’t work.’

Whether it hadn’t received the report or was trying to confirm it directly.

More than that, the [Zeus General Wasp] seemed to be able to use lightning without preparation.

She sensed high-energy Electricity in its body with her Electrical Ability. Just as humans had Magical Power, monsters also had Magical Power, and it had strong Electricity.

‘Is it similar to me?’

That couldn’t be.

She was unfamiliar with an opponent holding four swords, but she didn’t intend to deal with it leisurely.

Even if its level was high, its lightning was blocked, so its power was halved.

She would end this quickly and go to the upper floor.

“Demon Sword Bomb.”

Eat this.

She threw the [Magic Sword].

The [Zeus General Wasp] shot lightning as soon as it saw her, and having been hit by lightning before, she threw the [Magic Sword] before her feet touched the ground.

The ignorant thing knocked away the [Magic Sword] with its sword.

The [Magic Sword], which was unstable enough to explode just by touching something, cracked.

Crack.

It caused a crack.

Explosion.

It was weak.

She couldn’t exert strong firepower in the cave, or she would be buried alive.

The [Zeus General Wasp], pushed back by the explosion, released its guard and wiggled its antennae to find her, when it felt heat behind it.

She, whom it was desperately searching for, had already stepped into the inner passage.

It couldn’t look back.

It had already been cut.

“Is that all?”

The crimson that had lost its main power was boring.

As she ran through the inner passage, a few more [Zeus General Wasp]s appeared.

But the crimson-lettered insects that couldn’t even exert their power were no match for her.

She cut the first one she met in the gap where the [Magic Sword] explosion obscured its vision,

She overwhelmed the next one she met with a speed comparable to the battle with the [Death Knight],

The next one she met couldn’t stab her with the three swords in its other hands at the moment the swords collided.

At the moment of the collision, the [Phantom Sword]s that had already scattered around it turned it into a hedgehog.

She had expected the [Zeus General Wasp]s to sacrifice themselves to prepare something,

A large room.

The room was swarming with an enormous number of [Zeus Hornet]s.

The [Zeus Hornet]s gathered together to create something like a bulging cocoon on the ceiling. They vibrated, rapidly shaking their antennae and wings, and all the [Zeus Hornet]s vibrated.

The entire room vibrated.

Booo-

Vibrating and rubbing.

The ones who were already dizzy from the heat emitted by [Boost] gathered together and raised the temperature inside the cocoon even higher with frictional heat.

“….”

She watched what they were doing.

Strong heat and Electricity accumulated inside the cocoon.

Within the accumulating energy, a shape that was more densely packed showed a clearer outline, emitting Electrical Signals.

The one receiving this high energy in the cocoon was one insect.

There was nothing comparable in size to a human except for the [Zeus General Wasp].

The reason why the [Zeus General Wasp]s who blocked her were blocking the way to buy time was that.

“Fools.”

‘If you had told me, I would have waited.’

Well, if they could talk.

But how long would she have to wait?

Thud.

One of the [Zeus Hornet]s that made up the cocoon fell.

Thud.

Thud thud.

More fell.

The fallen [Zeus Hornet]s.

All had died.

It wasn’t long until completion.

The insect inside the cocoon, sucking the lives of its kin and gathering strength, began to move its arms little by little.

It intentionally gathered the energy it hadn’t fully absorbed to create a Mana Hole.

Then, the [Zeus Hornet]s that made up the cocoon fell all at once, and the wasp hidden inside fell with them.

It landed gently on the floor.

A slender wasp.

Whether it was a female, the wasp with somewhat emphasized breasts was,

[Zeus Great General Wasp]

Black letters.

It had become one stage stronger.

Then.

The [Zeus Great General Wasp] stretched out its four hands.

Swords flew from the holes drilled in the room.

One in each of the four hands.

Another four swords floating around.

Eight swords became the [Zeus Great General Wasp]’s weapons.

“….”

The way it handled Electricity reminded her of herself.

Interesting.

As if in return for waiting, the [Zeus Great General Wasp] dropped one sword in front of her.

It waited without attacking until she picked up the sword, and its manners were very good in a situation where the Queen might die.

She put the steel sword she had been using into her Inventory,

And lifted the sword given by the [Zeus Great General Wasp].

As she grabbed the sword hilt,

The blade disappeared.

“….”

Was she scammed?

No.

This was using Magical Power.

Americano had used something like this once before.

The sword that Lee Su-ju was most confident in also had no blade like this. A weapon that solidified the injected Magical Power to create a blade.

This also used the injected Magical Power as a blade.

She swung it a few times,

And took a stance.

That became the signal, and the [Zeus Great General Wasp] also took a stance and clashed.

“….”

“….”

The conclusion was reached in an instant.

It had great Strength.

It had many swords.

It had high Magical Power.

It used Electricity.

It used Magnetism.

It was useless.

The [Zeus Great General Wasp]’s physical specifications far exceeded hers.

But she still won.

What was the reason?

It was simple.

The keen eye to find gaps.

The judgment to find those gaps was just a little faster.

She shook off her sword.

When she shook it, the blade disappeared.

‘Compared to the Death Knight, everything looks weak.’

The [Zeus Great General Wasp], which was in black letters, was by no means a weak monster.

A monster that implemented human techniques with a deformed body with four arms.

It was immune to Electricity, so it didn’t work, but the [Zeus Great General Wasp] didn’t only focus on Electricity.

The easiest way to use Electricity was to directly shock the enemy,

The [Zeus Great General Wasp] used Electricity to offset inertia and launch erratic offensives in short exchanges.

It implemented Mind Sword Control Technique, and the four swords floating in the air reproduced swordsmanship as if they were different swordsmen. It even used it with high quality to be used in actual combat.

There was an attempt to float the corpses of its kin with Magnetism,

And it tried to defend its body with a repulsive field even at the moment she stabbed its chest.

“Hoo.”

The [Zeus Great General Wasp] fell, and it was a shame that its Electrical Ability didn’t work.

Due to the nature of Electricity, it might have been a more difficult opponent than the [Death Knight]. Electrocution every time swords clashed. Electrocution every time they distanced themselves. Electrocution, electrocution, electrocution.

Having faced an enemy that used Electricity, she realized how advantageous she, an Electrical Ability user, was to swordsmen.

The sword used was metal. Even if it was Demon Metal, if Magical Power worked, the Electricity implemented with Awakened Ability would work. If she actively used Electrical Ability, personal battles would become boring.

‘My standards have already been raised while fighting the Death Knight.’

She looked at the Electricity flowing between her fingers.

“Let’s not use it after all.”

Let’s only use it for defense and not for offense.

The reason she used it for defense was because it wasn’t fun to be unilaterally swept away by power.

Attacking became fun when the defense was strong.

Anyway,

“Is this it?”

The base of the [Zeus Hornet]s.

She had arrived at its deepest part.

The flames attached to her body by [Boost] illuminated the boss room. The boss room was the largest and much larger than the rooms she had seen so far.

The blue light reached the end of the room and illuminated what was located inside.

It had a human form.

But,

[Zeus Queen Wasp]

Black letters.

Monster.

The apricot-colored skin was soft, unlike that of a hornet.

Its eyes were inorganic like an insect, but even including that, the [Zeus Queen Wasp] didn’t look like a hornet.

The floor was paved with bricks from the middle of the room, and pillars were placed in the middle to prevent the ceiling from collapsing. The throne on which the [Zeus Queen Wasp] was sitting also resembled a human one.

The [Zeus Queen Wasp] rested her chin on her hand on the armrest and calmly opened her mouth even as the intruder approached.

Surely it wouldn’t cry Zeu-s, would it?

The [Zeus Queen Wasp] released the hand that was resting on her chin and raised both hands.

“I surrender.”

“Hoo.”

“Please spare me.”
