Chapter 24: 24. The supermarket (6): Lightning is the only way

Dexter was indeed faster than normal. He wasn't holding back on his speed and was giving it his all. He saw something resembling a black bamboo stick heading towards Laurence from behind who was just looking at him in confusion.

He would make it in time, just a little more...

Dexter made it in time before the black bamboo hit Laurence and dragged him out of the way. Laurence found himself on the floor a few meters away from the place the bee was, and Dexter crashed into a shelf as he couldn't control his speed very well.

All of a sudden, green lights lit from within the cloud of smoke, and a loud, shrieking sound bellowed, blowing all the smoke away that was covering the bee.

Its full body was now revealed. It had its chest and parts of its hard shell open like a wound, and most of its left side was gone.

But it was healing extremely fast as pieces of flesh began weaving around the wound like threads. The bee grew in size... no, it stood up on its legs.

It had legs!

They were as thick as a bamboo and were very black.

"That's why it didn't want to stand up before," Zain said in realization as he saw what was beneath the bee.

"It was protecting its children," Leo said, looking at the dozens of fist-sized eggs beneath it.

There were four transparent wings on its back, which were just like flat boards, but two of them on one part were burned out, and it couldn't use its wings now.

It immediately reached out its legs to hit Beatrice away as it saw her bullets as a threat, but Chapman was there, and he immediately crossed his double blades to defend her.

The giant bee shrieked as it raised its hand up to smash the weak humans in front of it, but suddenly its body sparked with lightning as a loud sound of thunder echoed, causing it to shriek loudly.

The others looked behind Laurence to see Dexter stretching out his hand towards the bee.

[Spirit energy: 29/40 (In use)]

Dexter also saw his spirit energy bar at the corner of his eye and immediately focused back on the creature that wasn't moving at all.

It was as if it was stunned.

"What?" Laurence was shocked as its leg stopped in mid-air, and it couldn't move.

Dexter immediately charged at the bee with his spear in hand, and as he reached close, he struck the leg with the blade of the spear while spinning his body.

*Clank!*

A metallic sound rang out as his spear collided with the leg of the bee, and Dexter furrowed his brows.

'Damn it. I can't cut through.' He tried again and again, but the bee soon regained mobility and moved its leg to kick Dexter away, but he jumped out of the way.

The wounds began to heal again at a rapid pace as it let out a loud shriek and focused on Dexter.

Most of its tentacles were burned, so it didn't have a lot, and it shot more than twenty tentacles at Dexter at once.

Laurence's eyes suddenly widened as he shouted, "Quick, use the lightning again!"

Dexter heard what he said, and immediately the leg tried to come towards him again. He pointed his hand towards the bee, and a lightning bolt shot out of his hand, followed by a loud sound of thunder.

Upon contact with the bee, it shrieked in pain as the sparks lingered on its body, causing it to be unable to move.

"That's it! Lightning works on it!" Laurence shouted, and the others immediately got the gist and looked to Dexter.

'Well, I've been avoiding using spirit energy ever since the fight with the bees on that building. But now...' He brandished his spear as he ran towards the bee, spotting an open injury on its chest.

He accelerated, and electricity from his hand transferred into his spear, and he jumped up high as the legs of the bee were over five meters tall.

Upon reaching the chest of the bee where the open wound was, he thrust his spear into the chest of the bee.

A loud crackling sound of electricity bellowed as the sparks lingered on the body of the bee, and Dexter used the spear, which was thrust into the chest of the bee, to swing himself upwards onto the body.

*Bang Bang!!*

"Huh?" Dexter turned around to see Beatrice with her guns shooting at the open wound on the side of the bee with her wind bullet ability, harming it greatly.

Zain and Leo too sprinted towards the bee with their weapons in hand, and Leo nodded towards Zain, who returned the nod.

"Haaaa....!!" Zain spun around multiple times with his axe stretched out before finally swinging the axe twice as fast horizontally, and a wave of flames shaped into a thin arc flew towards the legs of the bee.

Shockingly, the flame arc cut past the first few sets of legs, and Leo was there to support as a chunk of ice held the sliced legs together as he shot more white beams to hold the legs from coming apart.

The bee would lose its legs if it moved now.

There were eight sets of legs on the bee, and the arc of flames only stopped at the third pair.

Zain jumped up with a grunt, the blade of his axe gleaming as the sunlight coming through the broken roof reflected on it.

He struck the armor of the bee, and his axe entered into it but with a little resistance.

He tilted his axe outwards from within the skin and used it as support, putting his legs on the armor and running downwards. The axe followed and sliced the armor as it went.

After freezing the legs, Leo began to use his sword to try to slice the armor, but it couldn't; it wasn't as strong as Zain's huge axe.

He gritted his teeth as he just proceeded to shoot ice shards at the wounds of the creature.

Dexter was still bombarding the creature with lightning. He stabbed his spear into the creature with his spear while infusing it with lightning.

The bee couldn't get up from its position, it was helpless in this situation.

Dexter raised his spear to strike down again while looking at his spirit energy meter.

[Spirit energy: 9/40 (in use)]

He was getting extremely tired as his body ached in various places, and he was breathing loudly.

He took a deep breath as he raised his spear to strike again, but at that moment, his eyes flashed red, and this time, the he immediately lost control.

A/N: Damn, he held himself for so long, bearing the bloodlust and the urges... now he lost control. Let's see who will die.
