Preparing for War with Killer Bee

We lazed around in the Slime Kingdom, waiting for Lucy-nuna to succeed in creating an antidote.

In Lucy-nuna’s lab, many Slimes, including Lily, resided, passing on their knowledge of toxicology and botany to Lucy-nuna.

It was midday on the third day.

Melissa and I were on our way to give Lucy-nuna some fruit we had received from the Slimes.

Winston was probably loafing around in his dome.

Suddenly, a warning siren, ppiiiiii ppiiiii, echoed throughout the Slime Kingdom.

All the Slimes moved quickly, as if excited.

The small Slimes went into their domes, and the large Slimes poured out.

Melissa and I noticed something was wrong and grabbed a passing Slime to ask.

“What’s going on?”

“The Killer Bee army is coming. The Killer Bees periodically conduct a great hunt, and today is that day!”

“Oh, shit… Melissa, let’s go to Chike’s.”

“Okay, Oppa.”

I contacted Lucy-nuna and Winston through the Tentacle communication network and told them to meet at Chike’s house.

The four of us arrived at Chike’s house.

Chike spoke, relieved.

“I was trying to find you, so I’m glad we met quickly. As I said before, it’s the Killer Bees’ great hunt. The Killer Bees will arrive in about 10 minutes.”

I asked.

“What should we do?”

“Could you help the Slimes?”

“Of course.”

“The Killer Bee army always comes up from the south, where their kingdom is. Let’s go south.”

We ran towards the south of the Slime Kingdom.

It seemed that all the adult Slimes had come out to the southern plains of the Slime Kingdom.

The plains were teeming with Slimes over 150cm tall, and I could see the Slime cannons that Chike had mentioned.

The giant Slime Queen Lime was also at the very back.

The Slime Queen spoke in a friendly manner.

“King of Tentacles. Thank you for coming to help~”

“Of course, I should help you. But you said the Killer Bees’ poison is deadly, so why are you all out here?”

I asked why they weren’t hiding, knowing that they always suffered great damage.

Chike answered.

“If the adult Slimes don’t step up, the young Slimes will be captured. Slimes cherish their comrades. Even if there is defeat in this battle, all adult Slimes will fight to the end.”

Winston was impressed.

“Really. I’m just constantly surprised in this kingdom. Slimes are honorable beings.”

We moved to the front of the battle line with General Chike.

Winston transformed into a Beastman, and Melissa transformed into a quadruped.

Soon, an enormous number of Killer Bee troops were flying towards us from far away.

Because there were so many, it looked like a yellow fog was coming.

I could see those holding spears and shields and wearing armor, those with several spears stuck in their backs, and those holding wooden staffs.

There were also those who held nothing and wore no armor.

They were carrying large baskets that seemed to be made of beeswax on their backs.

Soon, the Killer Bees arrived 400m in front of the Slime battle line.

With a buuwoong sound from the Slime camp, numerous Slimes simultaneously fired projectiles.

Fireballs were shot from the bodies of the red Slimes,

Acidic solutions flew from the bodies of the green Slimes,

And ice spikes were shot from the bodies of the blue Slimes.

In addition, various Slimes shot projectiles at the Killer Bee army.

The Slime cannons launched Slimes in parabolic trajectories with a kwahang sound.

Lucy-nuna launched giant fireballs, and I ejected acidic mucus and sharp bones from my tentacles.

A net of giant projectiles was fired at the Killer Bee army.

Shuuuwoong shwoong shwoong shuuuwoong

The Killer Bees, who appeared to be magicians, extended their staffs forward.

Hexagonal, translucent green barriers with 3m long diagonals appeared in front of the Killer Bee army.

The green barriers merged, creating a giant plate with a hexagonal pattern in front of the Killer Bee army.

Chike shouted to us.

“It’s the Killer Bees’ unique defensive magic!”

Soon, the projectiles and the plate collided, creating a roar that shook the earth.

Kwagaagang kwahang kwaaaaang

Many projectiles collided with the plate, making scratches, and some plates even cracked or broke.

Projectiles that followed entered through the broken parts, hitting the Killer Bees behind and causing damage.

A Slime shot from a Slime cannon concentrated Slime tentacles on one point, broke the plate, and went inside.

As soon as some Slimes entered, they spread black smoke from their bodies,

While other Slimes shot out spikes.

A Killer Bee spearman stabbed a Slime shot from a cannon.

The Slimes’ movements slowed down, and they fell limply to the ground.

It must be because of the poison.

When the barrage of projectiles ended, the plate disappeared.

The Killer Bee javelin throwers simultaneously threw javelins at the Slime camp.

A rain of javelins began to pour down on the Slimes.

Piyoong piyoong piyuwoong

Slimes with hard attributes stretched out to cover the Slimes behind them.

Chike shouted to us.

“Stand behind me!”

Chike, who was an iron Slime, also stretched out to cover us.

Soon, roars erupted everywhere from the collision of javelins and tanker Slimes.

Kugugung kwagang kwaaaaang

Javelins shattered or bounced off, and some Slimes were pierced through.

The Slimes pierced by the javelins trembled and then drooped.

While the Slimes were defending, the Killer Bee army quickly arrived at the Slime battle line.

At that moment, a dozen or so giant golden projectiles flew from behind us towards the Killer Bee army.

Hexagonal plates appeared, trying to block the golden projectiles.

The golden projectiles broke through the plates as they were and flew, shattering the Killer Bees in front as if melting them.

The Killer Bees’ innards, blood, and flesh fell down like rain.

The Killer Bee army avoided the path of the golden projectiles, and it looked as if a hole had been punched in the yellow sky.

We turned around, curious about who had fired the golden projectiles.

The one who had fired the golden projectiles was the Slime Queen.

Twenty giant cylindrical cannons were protruding from the Slime Queen’s body, and all the muzzles were aimed at the Killer Bees.

Chike shouted.

“Our Queen is the most powerful warrior protecting the Slime Kingdom!”

The Killer Bee melee soldiers in the front line began to crash down on the Slimes.

Chike shouted.

“Melee combat!”

A Killer Bee spearman fell on a Slime.

A heavy Slime extended Slime tentacles from its body to fend off or hit the Killer Bee.

A horned Slime performed a body slam.

The Killer Bees dodged or blocked with their shields at high speed, and some were hit and exploded or flew away.

The speed of the Slimes stabbed by the Killer Bees’ spears noticeably slowed down, and the Slimes allowed several attacks and drooped.

The Slimes fired projectiles at the Killer Bees, and the Killer Bees also fired javelins at the Slimes.

The Killer Bees holding staffs flew around in the air, creating hexagonal plates at the right moments to defend other Killer Bees.

Killer Bees also crashed down on our side.

Chike ignored the spear thrust by a Killer Bee and performed a body slam, causing the Killer Bee to distort as if being compressed in a press and bounce away.

Melissa dodged the spears with her quick mobility and shot beams of fatigue and slowing from her back.

Melissa also shot a Death Cloud like black smoke from her mouth.

The Killer Bees hit by the Death Cloud received soul damage, turned pale, trembled, and were shattered by other Slimes’ attacks.

Winston and Lucy-nuna were also doing well.

I shot tentacle legs from all over my body, hitting the Killer Bees.

The Killer Bees skillfully dodged or knocked away my tentacle legs, and hexagonal plates appeared to block my tentacle legs.

Once again, twenty giant golden projectiles fired by the Slime Queen flew towards the Killer Bee army.

The golden projectiles shattered all the Killer Bees in their path, and a rain of flesh and blood fell down.

Right now, it seemed that the Killer Bees and Slimes were engaged in a close battle.

Among the Killer Bees in the sky, the magicians wearing flower crowns had been chanting spells since earlier.

Chike shouted.

“If they chant magic, a poisonous wind will blow. We haven’t been able to stop that magic until now!”

The Killer Bees chanting spells were too high up.

“Lucy-nuna. Can you hit those guys?”

“They’re too high! And even if I shoot, it’ll be blocked. They’re densely defended around them.”

Translucent white fog formed around the Killer Bee magicians.

This fog quickly spread with the wind towards the Slimes, covering the Slime army.

This fog didn’t have much effect on me.

Looking around quickly, it seemed that Winston, Melissa, and Lucy-nuna were also unaffected.

But the Slimes were different.

The Slimes noticeably slowed down and began to allow attacks from the Killer Bees.

The Slimes slowly stirred the air with their Slime tentacles.

The Killer Bees lightly dodged as if mocking them and attacked the Slimes.

The Slimes dying and drooping accumulated even faster.

Even Chike seemed to be struggling.

“Cough. Cough. Kuek. This fog is slowly penetrating my body and making it difficult for me.”

The Killer Bees carrying baskets came down all at once to collect the dead Slimes.

The middle and rear ranks of the Killer Bee army also came down to attack.

I shouted urgently.

“Damn it! Someone needs to send me up there!”

Chike shouted.

“Use the Slime cannon!”

I quickly moved to the Slime cannon and instructed.

“Shoot me and launch me at the Killer Bee magicians!”

A Slime shouted.

“Get in here! Adjust the cannon’s direction!”

I jumped into the Slime cannon.

There was a giant gray wind Slime on the floor, with vortex patterns drawn all over its body.

The wind Slime, struggling with the poisonous fog, still shouted confidently.

“Cough. I can still launch you! Here we go!”

The wind Slime launched me with compressed wind.

Pueoooong

I flew in a parabola towards the Killer Bee army.

I extended tentacles from my feet, making them ride the wind like feathers on an arrow.

Projectiles and Killer Bees flew around chaotically in front of my eyes.

I got closer to the Killer Bee magicians.

A hexagonal plate appeared in front of me.

I extended a tentacle leg with my right hand, grabbed the top of the plate, and went over the plate.

Another plate appeared in front of me.

I wrapped my tentacles around the ankle of a Killer Bee flying above me, pulled it down, and went over the plate.

I arrived at the Killer Bee magicians.

The Killer Bee magicians screamed.

“Kyaaaaak!”

“Block him!”

I pulled out dozens of tube tentacles from my body.

The tube tentacles sprayed green acidic mucus like a mist in all directions.

The bodies of the Killer Bees that entered the acidic mucus mist melted.

Chiiiiiiiik

Killer Bees screamed in pain from their bodies melting from all directions.

“Kyaaaaak!”

“My body! My body!”

“Kueoeok! My arm fell off!”

Dozens of magic circles formed around me.

I muttered.

“Multi Fire Arrow.”

Dozens of Fire Arrows flew around me.

When the Fire Arrows touched the acidic mucus mist, explosions occurred.

Kwaaaaaaaaang

The surrounding Killer Bees were caught in the explosions, and their bodies were torn to pieces.

When all the explosions subsided, only innards, flesh, and bone fragments were falling around me.

I also fell due to gravity.

A Killer Bee spearman flew towards me to stab me.

I extended ten tentacles and wrapped them around the Killer Bee.

The Killer Bee was horrified.

“Kueak! What power!”

I pulled the Killer Bee towards me and flew up with the force of the reaction.

Killer Bees flew around me.

I shot dozens of various weapon tentacles from my entire body and butchered the Killer Bees.

Peok kwajik shashak kwajijik

Those with their heads pierced, those with their chests cut, those with their legs blown off, those who barely dodged.

The Killer Bees screamed in pain.

“Save me!”

“It hurts! My leg is gone! Kyaak!”

Blood and flesh scattered around.

Because I had massacred the Killer Bee magicians, the poisonous fog that had surrounded the Slime army disappeared.

At that moment, I felt an enormous presence falling on my head.

I reflexively raised a shield tentacle imbued with magic upwards.

A Killer Bee wearing full plate armor and a helmet struck down at me with a sword that rippled with aura.

My shield and sword collided, and a circular wave of energy spread around.

Jiiiiiiing

Soon, the sound of a shell exploding occurred.

Kwagagagagang

The Killer Bee swordsman and I were bounced away from each other in the air due to the reaction.

My body fell quickly to the ground.

This time, a Killer Bee wearing shiny green armor and a helmet with attached magic stones flew over and attacked me with a spear imbued with aura.

The Killer Bee lancer fell in line with my falling speed and stabbed and swung his spear at me.

I pulled out dozens of weapon tentacles from my body to deflect the spear and attack the opponent.

The Killer Bee lancer deflected my weapon tentacles with his mysterious spearmanship and stabbed me as soon as a gap appeared.

The Killer Bee lancer and I fought hundreds of times as we fell.

Chaeng chaechaeng chaeng kang

Before I collided with the ground, I created a magic circle on my feet and fired a sonic wave downwards.

Shuuuwoong

My descent stopped due to the reaction of the force fired downwards.

I heard the sound of the sonic wave colliding with the ground below.

Kwaaaaang

The moment I was distracted, the Killer Bee lancer quickly thrust his spear imbued with aura at my head.

The tip of the aura spear touched my forehead, and my head split in half from my forehead to my chin.

The Killer Bee lancer was flustered when the aura pierced the air.

I reattached my split head and landed on the ground with a thud.

Ten strong individuals, including the Killer Bee swordsman from before and the current Killer Bee lancer, were floating in the air around me.

These must be the Valkyries.

Then, a voice like a noble, strong woman was heard.

“Wait!”
