44 – Chapter 44. Savior Ninja (7)
What caught their eyes were 40 honeybee yokai wearing impressive shell helmets.
Elite security yokai that prove the importance of this room.

It is inevitable that there is a relic here.
“-Escaping ninja and 40 yokai.”
The advantage of yokai with whom conversation doesn’t work is that you can say the technique name however you want when killing them.
Even if I list the food I want to eat for dinner, these guys will be scared without understanding.
Shwip-shwip-sok-sok-saak!
With a cheerful sound effect, they swiftly cut the necks of five of them.
Since they only had helmets and no means to cover their necks, it was an easy task for me who could accurately aim for their vital spots.
– Biene!
The startled bees shoved their necks back in and stumbled forward.
As elites, their movements are faster than other individuals.
I should have cut down about ten of them with the first surprise attack, but it’s a bit disappointing.
Although they took a break while hiding, they couldn’t completely eliminate the accumulated fatigue, so their speed has decreased a bit.
How great would it be to have recovery potions like in a game?
Like a “Royal Jelly Potion” inside a beehive.
I clenched my fist, infused with ninja power.
If I keep cutting through the shells one by one, I might run out of time. I have to go for an all-out battle.
– Qnpfr!
I fed the enhanced punches into the demons’ vital points.
Those whose faces collapsed in a mess of blood immediately fell to the ground.
The sensation of an icicle. Now is the time for the One Punch Ninja.
I sent all fifteen of them flying with a single blow, without a scratch.
Twenty-seven. I can feel that they’re afraid of me.
They tried to gain the upper hand from a distance using their longer arms, but their rigid body structure prevented them from moving flexibly.
Thirty-three. One of them fiercely resisted and lightly grazed my right thigh.
After stepping back three paces, I quickly used mana to stop the bleeding and jumped back in.
Forty. I smashed the head of the last bug that charged at me, screaming.
“Ha…!”
Complete annihilation.
My fists were covered in bruises, and my whole body was soaked in sweat.
I calmed down my burning body with the Ninja Breathing Technique and sat down, exhausted.
“Damn, that was tough.”
All the elite demons were skilled fighters, making it a difficult battle.
0.7 It felt like Irene had captured about 40 people.
After wrapping her injured thigh with a bandage and resting for about 5 minutes, she got up and went into the room.
There were no monsters coming all the way here to check if the other warriors were fighting well.
How long had she walked through the passage like that?
“It’s a lucky day.”
As she bought seolleongtang, she remembered a short story that her wife had told her about a dead rickshaw puller.
– Qeee…..
A giant humanoid bee monster leaning against a wax throne greeted her.
A queen bee that was over 12m tall.
It was not a treasure chest stage, but a boss room.
– Did you kill all the elite soldiers? It doesn’t matter. We can always give birth to more children.
The voice of a middle-aged woman echoed in her mind.
Telepathy?
She wasn’t surprised as she had seen the spirit-monsters use it.
– Who are you to disturb me? Tell me your name.
“Where is the artifact?”
– Human, answer my question first.
“Where is the artifact!!!”
She charged at the creature with her ninjato.
She had nothing to say to someone like Delbanas, who didn’t introduce himself first and asked about the other person’s identity.
– Delbanas… Do you know Delbanas?
I couldn’t help but stop in my tracks, like a car in front of a red light.
“How do you know about that?!”
I never mentioned her name.
This punk read my mind.
Is it even possible for a giant monster like her to have this kind of scamming ability?
– It’s possible to some extent. Did you come here to kill me after hearing Delbanas’s plan?
“What nonsense are you talking about?”
Delbanas lost in a one-on-one fight, transformed into an underground country, spewed acid breath, turned into a golden bat, then transformed into a soccer ball, expelled a spirit monster, and died.
There’s no time to talk about grand plans. She just moved busy and died.
Actually, I don’t even know what I’m saying right now.
What the hell was Delbanas doing anyway?
– Even after just taking a glimpse, it’s confusing. Your mind is excessively chaotic.
“That’s because you’re stupid.”
– Nonsense. She promised me. She said she would gather our kind. She said she would reclaim the territory occupied by humans.
“I killed that b*tch!”
I had no intention of matching the rhythm.
I attacked the leg of the great monster, who stood up from the throne and extended its long arms.
A massive body with telepathy and cunning. It seemed like a combination of the top three villain abilities in a creation.
I must kill it.
– There was no news, so I took the initiative to occupy the shrine, but it was in vain.
Kiiiiiiiiiiick!
There was only the sound of splitting, and the ninja dolls didn’t even budge!
The shell covering their bodies was so tough, as if they had grown up eating royal jelly by the ton.
– That won’t work. I’m getting stronger as the days go by…
“You chubby beetle. Did you eat all the jelly from your family? Where are your siblings who are dying of malnutrition? In your belly?”
– It seems like you ruined our plan.
The queen bee ignored my provocation and swung both pairs of arms at the same time.
The attacks coming towards you are quite fierce.
Slash!
I barely evaded the attacks with my agile ninja movements, which required both speed and accuracy.
Even though I only clashed with them twice, my bones are ringing.
I should have eaten more calcium, just like Mom said.
– Not bad. Your reaction speed is good.
It’s so annoying to constantly have conversations in my head while striking down with my arms.
It’s a tactic that confuses the mind, and if it were someone else, their concentration would have dropped, allowing for a single blow.
It’s difficult to pierce through that shell right now.
To land an effective blow, I have to aim for the face, but the difference in rank is too great.
“-Ninja Pawajin.”
I created about 20 afterimages and moved.
After tying the rope, one must climb up the wall and occupy the high ground. Only then can they seize control of the battle. If even this fails, they would have to endure the laborious task of breaking through the shell like water against a rock.
– You have a unique talent.
Shhhhh!
The queen bee spewed yellow jelly from her mouth, attacking the remnants. The sticky jelly quickly solidified like bricks.
The remnants hit by the jelly disappeared long ago.
If I were hit head-on by that beam, I could become a bug inside a pumpkin jewel. So, I moved carefully, avoiding it.
– It’s not dangerous if it doesn’t have a physical form. It’s just a remnant of a skill.
After confirming, the queen bee swung her arm, which was over 6 meters long.
Swish!
The fingertips of the enemy’s hand sliced through the air, narrowly grazing my ear.
There are five remnants left.
When the queen bee’s attention was caught by another remnant, I put my ninja sword back in its sheath and leaped onto the wall like a frog.
Zoom zoom zoom zoom!
I swiftly crawled up the wall like a lizard.
Now, it’s about time for that guy to turn around.
– There you are.
I climbed onto the back of the queen bee, who was about to spew jelly.
“Ninja Abuba.”
Waaah!
Startled, I quickly stood up, unsheathed my ninja sword, and advanced towards the repulsive head of the monster.
The queen bee wriggled her body in confusion, but she couldn’t shake my perfect sense of balance.
“Plastic surgery.”
Her trembling face met my ninja sword.
It grazed her slightly, not deeply, but it made a definite cut.
– Kyaaah!
As I savored the scream of the queen bee, I prepared to thrust my ninja sword deeper.
Thwack!
I was swiftly knocked away by a giant antenna.
Oh, seriously, why does this always happen at the critical moment?
Buddha, are you watching?
I always give my best to fight the minions of the Pork Thousand Demon, but luck never seems to be on my side.
Where are you now? Are you enjoying a nap, perhaps?
“Kyaak!”
Lost in thought, I flew away and hit my head on the ground.
Luckily, my head didn’t shatter like wax.
– How dare you…!
– qeee~!
The sound of the enraged queen’s scream echoes.
– If only I had more time to absorb the relic…! I won’t kill you so easily!
The queen bee raises her hand.
I want to resist, but I’m trapped in a daze and can’t move my body.
– Killing Delbanas, ruining my plans, and leaving a mark on my body?
The queen bee, with a large scar on her face, is looking at me.
– I will personally eliminate all the intruders in the palace. I will kill them all and use them as nutrients. You will witness that spectacle with your limbs severed. And then…!
My mind snaps back at that damn remark.
The queen bee is still cursing with her eyes rolled back.
Is it because of a lack of real combat experience? If it were me, I would have killed her right away.
It’s clear that she’s gone mad with hatred since she’s not reading my thoughts.
The greenhouse weeds that have never even been beaten by their parents always end up like this.
“No…! Stop…. it…!”
I swing my arms around like a crazy fool while saying that.
There’s a dagger hidden in my sleeve.
If my full-throttle throw hits her temple, there’s no way she’ll survive.
Does she have regenerative abilities? If she does, there’s nothing I can do.
I can only do what I can.
– Shall I start by cutting off that arm?
A single opportunity.
A moment of complete focus.
Bang!
The wall shattered, and the Red Armored Lady appeared.
Yugumgyeong?
“A raging cyclone!”
A red aura surged towards the Queen Bee.
From Noble mtl dot com
– You…!
The Queen Bee turned her head.
No, this won’t work.
It feels like all my abilities have suddenly been thrown in the trash.
“Ninja acrobatics!”
I managed to escape the Queen Bee’s grasp.
“You, you’re a runaway ninja! The rumors were true!”
Yugumgyeong’s eyebrows trembled.
At first glance, it may seem like Yugumgyeong came to help me fight the Great Monster, but that’s not the case at all.
Both Yugumgyeong and the Bee Monster are trying to kill me.
“There’s no other choice. This is just a temporary alliance.”
I have to make it seem as natural as possible.
Ninjas want to survive.
Fortunately, the queen bee did not suspect us as allies and divided her attacks.
“I’m not done with you yet…!”
“We’ll talk about that later… Here I come!”
As naturally as possible.
