Chapter 114 - Roaring Storm!

"Luke, what should we do?"

Ais looked at the swarm of bees approaching in the distance, a hint of worry in her eyes, and quietly sought Luke's guidance.

Over the past three years, she had grown accustomed to relying on Luke's decision-making whenever they were together. In this moment, it was no different.

To fight or not to fight?

Luke had considered this question since first spotting the Bloody Hive.

Honestly, he wanted to avoid a battle entirely. There was little to gain in facing such a vast number of low-level monsters.

While they would collect an abundance of magic stones and materials, Luke and Ais simply couldn't carry it all away.

With reluctance, Luke finally addressed Ais:

"We'll break through the swarm as quickly as possible. Our priority is eliminating the Bloody Hive."

With their plan decided, Luke and Ais simultaneously accelerated, transforming into streaks of blue and green light as they charged into the dense swarm of monsters.

This was a well-traveled route on the 24th floor, frequently used by adventurers.

If left unchecked, this troublesome group of mid-floor monsters would surely lead to the demise of many parties of unsuspecting adventurers.

Soon, Luke and Ais collided with the oncoming swarm. Without hesitation, they plunged straight into the battle.

Swish!

With each swing of Ser-Veresta, Luke effortlessly bisected Deadly Hornets, sending them plummeting from the sky.

On Ais's side, things were even simpler.

"Tempest!"

The gentle breeze surrounding Ais instantly transformed into a raging storm, clearing a wide swath around her in a single blast.

Despite the loss of their comrades, the Deadly Hornets relentlessly pressed their attack, using their sheer numbers to encircle Luke and Ais.

As the bodies of slain Deadly Hornets fell, another wave immediately took their place.

Their sharp stingers, coated in noxious purple venom, made for a horrifying sight.

For ordinary adventurers, these freely maneuvering aerial foes posed a serious threat.

The Deadly Hornets' tough exoskeletons, unique venom, and overwhelming numbers often meant certain death.

However, these threats held no sway over Luke and Ais.

The Deadly Hornets found it impossible to inflict any meaningful damage.

The Prana defense surrounding Luke deflected all of their attacks.

Their stingers bounced off his aura as if striking steel, producing sharp metallic clangs.

Ais was even more amazing. Her emerald winds held everything at bay. The Deadly Hornets couldn't even dream of approaching her.

The immense swarm proved incapable of halting Luke and Ais's advance.

Luke continuously formed Prana platforms beneath his feet, while the emerald wind propelled Ais effortlessly through the air.

Like piercing beams of light, they tore through the swarm's defenses, arriving directly before the Bloody Hive.

As they appeared, a torrent of orange-yellow mucus erupted from the hive, covering the sky as it surged toward Luke and Ais.
