Reincarnated To Evolve My Bee Empire - Chapter 315

Chapter 315: Don’t you dare to touch my dragons!
〔You deal 8 damage. The warrior ant is poisoned!〕

〔The warrior ant dies!〕

My stinger flew like an arrow, piercing the ant’s head and killing it instantaneously with poison. While it was dying, my stinger was already regrowing.

A pair of morphotyped genes I didn’t have much reasons to use, but they were very effective now—”Detachable Stinger V” and “Shootable Stinger II”!

Now I shot ants and spiders like I had a gun growing out of my ass! With how deadly my venom was, even a slightest scratch led to a creature’s death.

But my girls fought even more effectively! Using their steel weapons and sometimes bare hands, they crushed and cut insects like blood-filled pillows. Their scale armor stopped claws and teeth of the attackers as well as good chitin.

Viscera fell all over the place, which only attracted the attention of other insects. Predators ate bodies of the fallen while a battle raged around them, which made them vulnerable to being crushed themselves.

Creatures, one more ugly than the other in their mix of humanoid and insect features, screeched and died bleeding, burning or just poisoned to death. Here, not so many of them evolved poison immunity.

In the background, our dragons enjoyed their break, eating more insects. But they weren’t the only ones attracted by the scents of pheromones and blood in the air.

Larger beasts: feathered lizards, slug-like toads and bug-like rats scuttled at the edges of the battle, snatching insects into their massive mouths and running away from the bees and from each other. Animal screeches filled the air, making it impossible to hear anything but telepathy.

We were winning.

Although the enemies were numerous, they weren’t strong or organized.

I shot a toad which got too close to our positions.

It was only a matter of time—

I heard a rapidly approaching flapping of wings above my head. At the same instant, Destroyer and half of my bodyguards charged upward with battlecries.

When I looked up, I saw the bodyguards slamming head-on at a bright green dragon which was diving at me!

This beast was smaller and more slender than the black dragons, with a long alligator-like jaw which it tried to close around Destroyer.

Tried to!

Although Destroyer was in the dragon’s mouth, standing between its teeth, she stabbed her spear into its roof, and her stinger into the dragon’s tongue!

Even before the dragon screeched, I saw how its health went down.

The beast, unable to stay on the trajectory, began falling to the battleground a dozen meters away from me. If not for my telepathic warning call, it would’ve crushed a few fighting Beemarines.

My bodyguards and dragon-killers avoided being crushed by the dead beast, which definitely broke its neck during the fall.

‘A good save!’ I messaged Destroyer, fearing to imagine myself in these jaws. The battle distracted me so much that I forgot to look above at all!

Now I looked, and it was not a pretty sight. Of course, the aerial predators wanted to get their bite, too. A few even got in scuffles with black dragons, but to my relief, they were nothing serious.

Just as I thought that, a larger dragon appeared!

At first, it looked tiny, flying somewhere extremely far in the sky. But then it swooped in, and I saw it was a true beast of beasts, with wings at least a hundred meters wide! Its scales were a motley mix of brown and beige, but its claws were large enough to tear one of our black dragons apart with ease.

‘System, it’s time. Activate the “Titan Slayer” title!’

<Title activated, user.>

A boost of strength that worked only against the strongest opponents… I felt like it would be of use now.

And it was.

The brown dragon was clearly aiming for Woe, intent on swooping him right out of the air!

‘Woe, look out! Above you!’ I messaged the dragon telepathically, hoping that it would dodge.

At the same time, I dashed to intercept personally. Against a beast this big, nothing but my strongest venom and electricity will work!

My warning made Woe jerk aside, but it was less effective than I hoped.

The brown dragon flew over the black one, and its claws narrowly missed Woe’s back; however, the speed of the brown dragon was so great that a blast of wind from its wings still threw Woe to the ground!

Of course, all insects in the area were thrown aside, too. The smallest ones were crushed instantaneously. The bigger ones lived, but many got bruises and sprains.

To my relief, all the bees in the area got off easy thanks to their thick skin.

But Woe landed badly on his foot and screeched in pain. Other black dragons reacted immediately, gathering to his side to protect him.

However, the brown dragon was about to reach Woe first and finish him. The much smaller black dragon had no chance to fight the brown dragon off.

With the top speed of our wings, I and five of my bodyguards got there in time.

I dashed right at the brown dragon’s head, cutting through the wind from its flapping wings and aiming for its eye with my sting shot. Although my shots were slow, it was hard to miss against a target that large.

The dragon blinked and jerked away, and the stinger deflected off its scales, not even scratching it.

It screeched, and I shouted in reply.

“DON’T YOU DARE TO TOUCH MY DRAGONS!”

“GRAAA! GRAAAAW!” they echoed from all around, rushing at the brown dragon who thought too much of itself.

“Kill him, sisters!” my bodyguards shouted, charging ahead of me.

I followed closely.

The beast was fast, but only at long distances. At the moment, it was slowing down to grab of Woe without smashing its head into the ground, so it couldn’t fly away from us.

When we surrounded its eyes, it could only close them. But this didn’t stop our stingers and my spear!
