Chapter 212: Will-O-Wisp (1/2)

The battle between the guardian bird and the scout bee had resumed immediately.

Presently, the scout bee's size grows bigger. And it was covered with glowing golden energy. It suddenly flew towards the guardian bird.

The flapping of its wings was much fiercer than before. And the speed it was showing was the evidence of it.

It darted left and right at a speed that was hard to follow. The guardian bird seemed to be confused as it stopped its movement the second the scout bee started its charge.

From the guardian bird's perspective, it seemed like he was fighting with multiple bees. Right, the golden bee suddenly multiplied its body.

Yman was wondering what happened to the guardian bird. But soon gawked after seeing the stunned bird.

Sistela on the other hand was still bugging him about the Heavenly Water, after all, it was their main goal for coming into this empire. Yet he remained on his feet.

Although he wasn't moving, he secretly sent two Spider-model enhanced fire dolls to secure the Heavenly Water.

Yman continued watching the duel between his scout bee and the guardian bird. Presently, he saw the bird surrounded from both sides. But the guardian bird wasn't an easy opponent, it didn't back down.

It flapped its wings to create a stronger gust of wind. This kind of attack has a high probability that most of the golden bees would be sucked by it.

Seeing the incoming attack, most of the real bees flew and landed on the ceiling. And some stayed far so as not to become unlucky unintended victims. The battle between the golden bee and the guardian bird was not the kind of battle they could scoop with their strength.

They all werewatching the battle while seemingly cheering for the scout bee. They flapped their wings in the noisy buzzing.

However, contrary to the guardian bird's expectation. The golden bees evaded the gust of wind in a hasty motion. It was very quick that in just a split second, they were already at a safe distance. No, some of the golden bees were hit by it. The guardian bird squinted its reddish eyes as it felt something was amiss. Although he saw when some of the golden bees were hit by it, none of them were sucked by it.

Then again, the puzzlement felt by the guardian bird caused it to lag a little. With it as the reason, the golden bees were able to surround the guardian bird.

Yman who stayed on his feet was watching the fight with wide eyes. He noticed something from within the golden bee.

It was also the reason why he didn't want to interfere with their battle.

The guardian bird saw the golden bees fired sting at the same time.

Multiple stings were raining towards the guardian bird.

It tried to evade using its speed. It darted from left to right, evading in a hairsbreadth most of the sting.

Yman almost could not believe the things happening in front of him. The guardian bird was hit from its back.

Sistela suddenly commented.

Yman grinned. ”It used the illusion spell,' Yman replied.

He finally understood. The golden bee used the illusion magic that he planted in it. ”The guardian bee must be seeing the illusion of the scout bee. It didn't notice it was under it. Probably, it was facing the illusion and did not notice the real one was behind,” Yman explained, to which Sistela replied with a big

she shouted a cheer but only her partner could hear it as they were currently in resonance. Whoever controls the body, controls the voice.

All of his scout fire dolls could use it to escape from unfavorable situations. Yman didn't know what was happening after he lost control of it. The realistic outcome would be, it would dissipate after the reserve mana was used up. Like a toy having its battery emptied. But the nearest example would be a bubble that disappeared after it popped.

To his surprise, the scout bee in front of him not only remained active, but it also engaged the guardian bird in a duel.

Yman didn't know whether to laugh or cry in this situation. However, it was a huge piece of information that might help him understand better about his skills.

He concluded that the scout bee gained an unexpected powerup after it was thrown into the Heavenly Water. Since it was rich in magical energy, the scout bee who probably drank it had gained a power boost.

After the guardian took a hit from behind, it spun around unstably, like a kite who lost its string, or an airplane who lost its control.

The sneaky effect of the sting immediately took effect after it pierced at the back of the guardian bird.

The scout bee didn't waste time and followed up with another attack.

Another sting pierced it. This time, it caused a burning effect.

Yman noticed the health point on its life bar continuously decreasing. And because of the paralyzing effect, the guardian bird had no way to retaliate. It became an easy target for the scout bird.

The decrease in the guardian bird's health points stopped at 5 percent.

Then it tried to swim to the Heavenly Water, but it bumped into something like a thread. The opening of the mug-like stone was covered by a spider web that was made of black solidified miasma. The cause of it was no other than the two spiders and that Yman sent.
