Chapter 28: Final Boss
****
Dawn arrived quicker than Arthur thought it would. and so he got up and prepared his final things.
By the time of noon, he was ready to venture down.
His nectar container now that he checked was empty, and so he would have to fight the boss without any backups.
He doubted he would be able to find any hives now and even if he could, he did not want to face so many bees again.
Taking a final glance at the cave and the yeti's corpse, he tarted going down the mountain.
Although it could be said that maybe the final boss was also in the mountains, Arthur doubted that thought.
For one, the forests had a much higher proportion than the mountains, which was why the mini-boss could be in the mountains and the boss would be in the forest.
Second, which also confirmed Arthur's thoughts, was that after killing the mini-boss, a new feeling crept up in his mind.
It was the boss and its details, which Arthur thought that maybe the labyrinth had sent them to his mind.
He knew the location and the type of monster the boss was now.
It was the queen bee, and she was located in the center of the forest.
Arthur expected that the queen bee would not be alone, because after all no matter if the bee was large or even stronger than the previous ones.
It was still a bee, a bee which could be attacked from many sides and was limited in its turns and directions.
There was all the matter of time.
By the time he had been thrown into the labyrinth, it had been past 2 hours from midnight Arthur analyzed.
And he had spent a full day in the dungeon, which meant 24 hours and since the time ratio was 5:1.
It must be the time of dawn in the outside world, he concluded.
It meant that his father and mother should be aware of his disappearance by now.
Arthur decided to hurry up with this boss now, so that he could quickly go back.
But he did not even know where would he end up after this labyrinth.
He did not who the man was and what did he mean by chosen one?
Did he know of Hades?
If so, then he must be god but they weren't supposed to arrive this early, so what does this even mean?
And if the man had informed the house about his identity and assassination, then it was obvious that their men would be on the lookout for him and this could cause grave trouble.
But these were all questions he did not have even a clue to. So he could only shrug right now and focus on the main purpose.
Concluding his thoughts, he focused solely on the mountain and his journey down from it.
*****
[After 2 Hours]
Arthur had finally arrived back in the forest and as soon as he did, he discard the coat he had made from the bear and wolves.
It was useless now, and wearing it would only hinder his movement and flexibility.
Although it was thick and it could provide great defense against the bee than his tattered bodysuit, Arthur did not want to wear it. He preferred speed over defense in this fight.
Because of this coat's weight, he had almost lost his life in the battle against the yeti and he wasn't planning on having a chance of losing it again just because of unnecessary defense.
After that, he took a bath in the river again and hunted some bears for filling his hunger.
After all his activities, he headed towards his final destination; the center of the forest.
*****
[After 3 Hours]
Arthur finally arrived at the clearing in the middle of the forest, where he was expecting the boss to be.
The time was close to sunset and he could hear the buzzing of bees coming from this point.
And just like he had seen, the boss bee was there in front of a large hive much larger than the previous ones he had seen.
The anatomy of the boss bee was also different with its size being much gigantic and four pincers instead of two and sixteen eyes instead of eight.
Beside the boss bee, there were also 6 more bees just like Arthur had expected.
These bees were more powerful than those normal bees as they were larger than them and had three pincers instead of two.
And soon as Arthur stepped in, and locked his gazes with the queen bee, he flashed a bloodshot gaze towards her which instantly caused her nearby companions to rage.
The queen bee remained at her spot because after all, she was the main priority right now.
The three bees swooped down at him, and Arthur immediately waved his hands in the air as if calling for something.
On cue, blue electricity cackled at the spot where his hands were and two obsidian daggers immediately appeared in his grip.
Arthur forwards and instantly blocked the first bees' pincers with one of his daggers.
The second bee didn't wait and also attacked him immediately but he quickly used [Obsidian Screen] to block it while using [Nightball Blind] on the first bee causing it to go in panic.
But he didn't waste this moment and instantly bombarded the bee with slashes on its back, before finally jumping back because of the interference of the third bee.
But immediately, Arthur's attention was caught by the bee he had just slashed. Its body was glowing a faint red hue, which gave Arthur a sudden idea.
As the third and second bee came rushing towards him again, Arthur immediately shrouded his feet again and shot forwards towards them.
But before they could clash with him, Arthur used [Nightfall Blind] again on the bees and used [Spectral Steps] to jump towards the first bee again.
The first bee's eyes -which were now fine- widened upon seeing him rushing towards him, and it quickly tried to move away.
'[Paralyze Imbuing]'
The first bee, who was almost off the ground immediately got paralyzed with a sudden crackle of electricity and sunk back to the ground again.
Arthur grinned as his plan worked and arrived in front of the bee, completely ignoring the two bees coming towards him.
Arthur immediately raised his dagger and brought it down on the first bee's head.
The dagger passed through like a hot knife through butter and the bee's crimson eyes immediately turned grey.
Arthur flushed out his dagger and without a moments waste, turned back towards the other two bees left which were completely shocked because of their companions death.
They forgot their chase for a second which gave Arthur time to appear before them and swing his daggers down on their heads.
Unfortunately for him and fortunately for them, they instantly regained clarity and their crimson gazes- now filled with rage- locked with Arthur and they moved immediately.
However, they did not escape death unscathed as his daggers impacted on their bodies and he did not stop striking for a second after finding this out.
And just as they had escaped him, Arthur saw the red hue originating from them now.
Arthur seized his perfect chance, and called the skill in his mind.
'[Paralyze Imbuing]'
Just like before, their bodies immediately lost control and they stumbled to the ground with a crackle of electricity.
Before they could contemplate what happened, two daggers drove through their brains in an instant and their eyes immediately lost the color of life.
Arthur flushed out his two daggers and simultaneously drifted his cold gaze towards the queen bee who was looking at him with extreme rage as if she could break his neck in two.
She buzzed a screeching sound that travelled throughout the whole expanse of the forest but Arthur stood there looking at her unfazed by the sound.
Then she locked her crimson gaze with him once more ready to kill the person who had done this.
The sole person who had destroyed her queendom.
