Conquering The Game's World

The opposite side of the canyon that Luis was looking at is exactly where the territory of Sting Bees lies.

Sure enough, within a few sounds, many green dots appeared in everyone's sight, coming towards them while generating a large amount of buzzing sounds.

Monster Information:

[Sting Bees (E-Rank)

Size: 0.32 meters

Description: As their name suggests, their principal method of attack is by using poisonous stings on their body. Their flight speed can be as fast as 200 miles/hour, but their physique is very crispy. With the buzzing of their wings, they can unleash powerful sound waves that can cause severe damage to their enemies' hearing sensory organs and brain nerves.]

Sufi and Bonnie were busy killing Poison Moth, but their movements slowed down a little and they appeared visibly nervous at the news of Sting Bees' arrival. After all, Sting Bees are quite different compared to Poison Moths. Not only are they extremely fast, but their sound attacks are enough to damage their brains and make them mentally handicapped.

Unlike them, Luis and Cobert didn't have such concerns. With their strength of D and B-rank, respectively, the Sting Bees' sound attacks at most would only irritate them. It's not enough to cause them any serious damage.

However, they still weren't planning to waste too much time on them. After all, they have planned to go to other zones too.

Luis stopped shooting the poison moths and put his gun down.

"Cobert, cover me for a bit!"

Cobert was having an 'intense battle' with a dozen poison moths. After hearing Luis' words, he stopped getting entangled with them and used mist as a cover to retreat.

"Hurry! Then! The Sting Bees are almost here!"

"Yeah, I can see."

Luis responded calmly. Then jumped towards a better position, waiting to activate the electromagnetic bombs at the right time.

*Buzz*

*Buzz*

'There they are!'

With his perception, he could see them even from so far, very clearly. The green dot-like figures at least two miles away were coming closer every passing second and within half a minute, they might arrive here.

After witnessing the scene before him, Luis became somewhat nervous as well as excited. Now there were only two scenarios in front of him, either success or failure.

If he succeeds, then it would be an easy battle where they would be able to gain the maximum number of points with the minimum effort.

On the contrary, in case of failure, they might have to face the combined siege of both poison moths and sting bees. Which will be an arduous battle unless he and Cobert fight with their full strength, revealing most of their trump cards and secrets. That is very unlikely for them to do so for just an exam.

So, in such a situation, they may either have to give up, end up being eliminated or run away, losing their face in front of the professors. He knew Cobert wouldn't care about losing face, but he wasn't sure about Sufi and Bonnie's choice.

All in all, Team 3's result in this Dungeon Rush exam depends on the success and failure of the traps set by them for the Sting Bees.

At the same time when he observed the approaching Sting Bees, Luis was also amazed by their flying speed. Even though he had learned their information in class, witnessing such a sight still left a deep impact on him.

He sighed.

'What an amazing speed.'

'Although I can teleport, it can't increase my agility and reaction speed. Compared to them, I am lacking a lot.'

This thought made Luis want to reach the C-rank even faster so that he could practice that lightning element movement spell written in the ancient magic book.

Soon, Luis shook those unnecessary thoughts out of his mind and brought his attention back to the battle because the Sting Bees were already there.

Luis used his telepathy to communicate with Lily.

{Lily, analyze their movements and speed! Match the timing with their potential escape routes and prepare the most suitable sequence order for launching the electromagnetic bombs!}

{It's done, Master! According to my predictions, if the bombs are activated in the following sequence, we can eliminate at least 89% of them and cause severe injuries to the rest.

No.3 in 10 seconds

No.7 in 11.6 seconds

… }

{Okay, stop! I'll give you the access! Kill them for me!}

Luis knew his calculation ability was far inferior to Lily's. It's better to let her do it to avoid mistakes.

{Yes, Master!}

Lily took immediate action because time was running out.

Luis killed the Poison Moths close to him and was ready to watch the show.

The professors sitting inside the lounge were also watching with anticipating gazes. They were all interested to see how many Sting Bees could Luis eliminate using those traps.

After all, Sting Bees are very agile. To kill them using traps and bombs is a very difficult task. Now that Luis is trying to do so, his execution timing needs to be flawless.

Otherwise, only the first bomb may be able to kill some with surprise attacks. But the surviving Sting Bees will become cautious and escape immediately. By then, it will become even more difficult to kill them using those bombs.

It didn't take long. Within a few seconds, the first electromagnetic bomb was activated.

A large amount of magnetic energy exploded, sending waves of magnetic attacks that made a dozen of Sting Bees' heads explode in a mush.

(Note: The electromagnetic bombs here are different from the ones we have in our world. However, some similar bombs do exist, which are used to block communication devices and magi-tech products.)

It only took less than half a second for the rest of the Sting Bees to react after the death of their kin. However, as if already predicting their actions. Right, 1.6 seconds after the first bomb, another bomb exploded, causing several more deaths of Sting Bees.

Then, one after another, the electromagnetic bombs keep exploding. However, the strange thing was that the bombs exploded at the best possible time and place every time. Which completely blocked the Sting Bees' escape routes. Hence, achieving maximum efficiency in eliminating them.

No matter which direction they tried to leave from, what awaited them was only death. By the time the explosions were over, only a few Sting Bees on the verge of death were left.

Whether the professors inside the lounge, his team members or another team that was observing them from a distance. His magical operation stunned everyone.

...

Inside the lounge. The professors were shocked and discussed with excited voices.

"Great! Flawless execution!"

"For real! I thought he might be able to eliminate around 20 or 30 sting bees with those bombs, but who knew it was a direct wipeout? Haha, I underestimated him!"

"How many points did he gain from those Sting Bees?!" Professor Hardy asked.

A staff member replied.

"He eliminated 92 Sting Bees. So, Team 3 gained 184 points from them. Professor."

"Is that so?" Professor Hardy nodded in response and mumbled. "After clearing the poison moth swarm, they should gain hundreds of points, right?"

A bright look appeared on his middle-aged face. Then he turned to Olivia and praised her teasingly.

"Your students are amazing, Professor Olivia! After clearing the swarm, Team 3 will be in a lead with a vast number of points."

Olivia was obviously happy with Professor Hardy's praise, but she still waved her hands modestly.

"Professor Hardy is joking! There are many other powerful teams. Nothing is certain yet."

"You don't have to be so modest, Professor Olivia! Your students' amazing performance is indeed worthy of praise! Even while lacking a member, they can achieve such amazing coordination! It is no minor achievement!"

Professor Darrin, who was listening to their conversation, also nodded after hearing Professor Hardy's words.

Somewhat thoughtful, he also expressed the doubts in his mind and asked.

"Professor Olivia, have the students of Team 3 known each other for a long time?"

Olivia was a little surprised by Professor Darrin's sudden question, but she still answered truthfully.

"No, Professor Darrin. If I am not wrong, they should only know each other after the formation of teams."

"Oh! Not even by the start of the semester?"

Upon seeing her nod, Professor Darrin was surprised and became even more interested in Team 3. From his observation, he could see the members of Team 3 have a lot of trust in each other. Which is not something that can be formed by just the virtue of taking the initiative to do so.

It requires going through life-and-death fighting experiences together or years of companionship. Sometimes even that may not be able to guarantee this kind of trust.

Because they trusted in each other and their commander, they all left their back to each other and agreed to face the swarm together. Even for Luis' reckless plan to fight the Poison Moths and Sting Bees together. They didn't hesitate.

Is this because they all believe in him?

No, there's another possibility when such a high level of trust can be formed between a team.

It's when they have enough confidence in each other's strength.

'No matter the reason, I have the feeling that if they keep fighting side by side like this they can become a very powerful elite team in the future.'
