Eva, a contemporary leader of the Abe bee tribe, is widely recognized as the strongest Abe soldier bee.
Exquisite swordsmanship and mastery of the secrets of body-building techniques, she's known as the "Iron Swordsman"!
Ella's words, "hitting a steel plate," were likely quite literal.
General Eva glanced at the crowd, a scornful curl at the corner of her lips.
The crystal goblet slipped from her fingers, shattering on the ground with a thud.
Outside the tent, a horn blared!
Teams of fully armed Abe knights marched out of the barracks in an orderly fashion!
General Eva's personal guards, all clad in black helmets and armor, wielding silver spears and large shields, surrounded Allen and the others, mercilessly strangling them!
The wails echoed in her ears, and her teammates fell one after another in a pool of blood.
Ella bit her lip stubbornly, unleashing a powerful flaming Sky-Slashing Wave.
Boom!
A flash of flames cut down a row of Yabei soldier bees and shot straight at General Eva.
Eva sneered faintly and suddenly drew the silver giant sword slung across her back.
Swish!
A flash of sword energy neutralized the Sky-Slashing Wave.
Alan grasped his junior sister's hand and activated his "Phantom Step."
Seeing this scene in the final seconds before teleportation, he couldn't help but be slightly moved.
A first-level "Sword Energy Flash" countered a second-level "Sky-Slashing Wave," and she held her own?!
This only proved that Eva's cultivation was far superior to Ella's.
A silver mist emerged from the perimeter of the camp.
Alan and Ella had just completed their teleportation when a familiar sneer echoed from behind them.
General Eva pursued them alone.
"Only her...?" Ella's eyes flashed with murderous intent. "What a chance!"
Eva alone pursued them. Joining forces with her senior brother, they wouldn't necessarily lose!
A decapitation attack still held hope!
Ella reverted to her ancestral form, soaring into the air before swooping down at high speed!
The twin blades in her hands trailed two fiery crimson trails across the night sky.
Eva stood, sword in hand, her expression impassive.
Until Ella approached, she suddenly drew her sword and swept it across the sky!
Bang!
The silver sword, like a door panel, sent Ella flying, blade and all.
Like a tennis player, skillfully swinging his racket to hit the ball.
The moment Ella was struck, she fainted, plummeting headfirst like a bird with its wings broken.
Allen knocked down a pursuing guard and, turning back to see his junior sister plummeting, immediately activated "Teleport."
Swish!
The two, a hundred feet apart, suddenly swapped positions.
Allen appeared before Eva, while Ella was teleported back to his original position.
A rapid flutter of wings echoed from all around. Eva's guards had caught up, surrounding Allen with their weapons.
Dozens of gleaming silver spears were pointed at Allen's vital points.
Just as he was about to be stabbed like a hedgehog, Allen completed his spell and called upon the moonlight.
"Anar!"
Moonlight, like water, enveloped him, forming a luminous curtain.
The surrounding Yabei soldier bees, approaching with their weapons, were all burned by the moonlight, their faces etched with pain.
At the same time, their insect transformations were forcibly undone, transforming them from half-human, half-bee hybrids into slender elves.
Without their bee wings, they collectively plummeted from mid-air, smeared and grimy.
The Abe soldier bees, rushing to reinforce from afar, were horrified and agitated by the scene!
They all slammed to the brakes, not daring to approach within ten meters of Allen.
Only General Eva, bathed in the "moonlight," remained calm.
General Eva waved to her guards, signaling them to withdraw.
"I'll deal with this man myself."
Her gaze fell on Allen, the fighting spirit in her eyes tangible.
"That little girl seems very important to you? Defeat me, and you can take her away!"
Alan turned to look at Ella.
The little sister had just regained consciousness, crouching on the ground pitifully, her head in her hands. Surrounded by a swarm of armed Abe guards, any movement would instantly prick her like a hedgehog.
"It seems I'm out of options."
Alan flexed his fingers and strode towards General Eva.
"If you want a duel, then so be it. Don't deny your defeat!"
"Haha! A mere mercenary, yet you're so arrogant!"
General Eva sneered, extending her left hand and hooking her index finger at Alan.
"Come on!"
Then, she assumed the opening stance of the "Sword Draw."
Alan could tell that General Eva's silver greatsword was a Level 2 enchanted weapon.
Even if he had a "bones of steel," he wouldn't be able to withstand a full-strength blow from her!
Knowing that the other party's sword was incredibly fast and powerful, he still went for it. Wasn't that courting death?
Allen decisively stopped just outside Eva's sword's maximum range and raised his left hand.
The bony spurs on his palm began to secrete toxins like crazy!
Poisonous gas spurted out!
A flood of golden spores erupted from his palm, converging into a glittering torrent.
General Eva, along with the guards behind her, were engulfed by the spore torrent.
The guards were unsurprisingly stunned, their entire body frozen in a daze.
General Eva simply sneezed.
Rubbing her nose, a look of anger crossed her beautiful face.
"What the hell are you doing, boy? If you want to fight, do it properly, without all this fuss!"
Alan was speechless.
The spores, so effective in the past, were ineffective against her?! This woman either possesses exceptional physical attributes or possesses at least level five poison resistance!
He didn't have time to contemplate as General Eva, braving the poisonous gas, charged forward with all her might!
The silver giant sword whistled down, slashing down.
Hound Stride!
Alan narrowly avoided the attack!
Eva's strength surpassed his, and her defense was impeccable.
However, she wasn't without weaknesses!
Hard armor slowed her down, and her agility was a disadvantage compared to her immense strength!
Alan felt reassured when he saw that Eva's divine power was insufficient to match his own speed.
He employed Hound Stride again, ducking his head to avoid the giant sword's sweep.
He rolled forward, closing in on Eva before she could retract her sword.
Kneeling on one knee, he thrust his palms forward.
His fingertips touched her abdomen, suddenly unleashing magical power.
Thunderous Blast Wave!!
A roar shook the barracks.
General Eva was sent flying backward, knocking down a row of guards who had no time to dodge.
Alan slowly stood up, his gaze fixed on the face-down General Eva.
The heavy armor was riddled with cracks from the Thunderous Blast Wave.
The abdominal armor, in particular, was shattered into pieces, revealing a white, flat belly.
"Ahem...boy, that was quite ruthless!"
Eva, supporting herself with her hands, slowly rose to her feet, a faint trace of blood visible at the corner of her lips.
After taking a direct hit from the Thunderous Blast Wave, she was still able to stand...
Alan felt a chill in his heart! "From now on, I'm going to be a little more serious."
General Eva's tattered armor suddenly exploded, disintegrating into countless metal fragments that flew all over the sky!
The surrounding guards hurriedly retreated.
Alan crossed his arms to shield himself from the incoming armor fragments, a clanking sound echoing through his body.
General Eva, her armor torn off, stood naked in the moonlight, her long silver-gray hair dancing wildly in the night breeze.
Her tall, voluptuous body, like a single piece of flawless white jade, was transforming into a hybrid form.
The portion of her body above the waist alone was two meters tall.
Including her plump, bee-like abdomen, surrounded by yellow and black stripes, she measured nearly five meters from head to tail!
No wonder her entire armor burst the instant she transformed! The heavy armor not only limited Eva's mobility but also her strength.
The armor was merely a decorative ornament to highlight her general's status.
Shedding the cumbersome armor revealed her true form!
Facing this formidable foe, Allen no longer held back.
Level 2 Atavism: Blue Panther Form!
The leopard-headed giant's madly expanding muscles burst through his clothes, his azure fur gleaming in the moonlight.
Their sizes were once again level.
"Oh? You've turned into a cute cat!"
General Eva wore a playful smile, but her attack was merciless.
She swung her right hand, unleashing a "Sword Qi Flash," and her left unleashed "Storm Wings"!
Alan dodged the sword's slash and was blown back by the ensuing storm.
Sharp wind blades repeatedly slashed at his body, leaving thin, razor-sharp blood marks.
The storm whipped up dust and fallen leaves, obscuring his vision.
General Eva took the opportunity to swoop down, her body disappearing into the dust.
Alan shielded his eyes with his arms to prevent the dust from blinding him.
His blue cat ears twitched slightly, and his nostrils quivered.
His keen hearing picked up the unusual air currents in the dust.
Eva's body odor, reminiscent of the sweet scent of honey, also gave her away.
"Got you!"
Alan suddenly swung his left arm, his palm split open, and a slender, flexible bone whip swung out.
Swish!
The bone whip wrapped around Eva's sword-wielding wrist, dragging her down from mid-air.
A ferocious beast claw pierced through the veil of smoke and dust, striking Eva squarely in the chest.
Bone-shattering, a sudden burst of energy!
Boom!
Thunder exploded in the night sky!
Eva's body trembled violently, and waves of white surged across her chest.
However, she gritted her teeth, withstood the terrifying palm power, and launched a counterattack.
Puff!
The sword-like bee sting pierced deeply into the leopard-headed giant's thick leg.
The two colossal figures separated at the touch, casting a visually oppressive silhouette against the moonlit night.
Alan knelt on one knee, his thigh pierced by the bee sting bleeding profusely.
This was all thanks to his exceptionally high resistance to viruses.
Otherwise, the level 5 bee venom injected by the bee sting would have paralyzed his heart and lungs in a single second, suffocating him.
In mid-air, Eva coughed violently, barely suppressing the surging blood.
A sickly blush crept across her beautiful face.
Between her majestic breasts, the scarlet marks of a beast's claws were clearly visible.
Alan suddenly remembered an anecdote Ella had told him earlier.
Eva was known as the "Iron Swordsman" not only for her exceptional swordsmanship, but also primarily for her cultivation of the fourth-level body-refining secret technique known as "Iron Maiden."
Combined with "Iron Maiden" and "Insect Armor," Eva's muscles were harder than steel.
Only a level-3 enchanted weapon forged from cold iron could penetrate her double armor.
No wonder his all-out palm strike had barely broken through her defense, failing to inflict fatal damage.
Exhaling slowly, Alan gathered his strength and cast "Giant Transformation," expanding his size once more!
An eight-meter-tall, leopard-headed giant stood in the moonlight.
Eva's eyes grew intense as she observed his transformation.
"Little cat, let me tell you a secret—I can grow even bigger!"
With a sneer, she gestured with a spellcasting gesture, casting a 4th-level "Giant Insect" upon herself!
This spell, in theory, only works on insectoid creatures.
Beehive, in its hybrid state, barely qualifies as an insectoid and could benefit from it.
On the surface, Eva's size doubled, from five meters to ten meters tall, seemingly mirroring the effect of "Giant Growth."
In reality, a 4th-level "Giant Insect" is vastly more powerful than a 1st-level "Giant Growth"!
Giant Growth only provides a 2-point Constitution bonus.
Giant Insect grants a 4-point Constitution bonus for each size category the recipient increases, plus an additional 4 levels of natural armor!
Eva was already known for her formidable defenses, and after significantly increasing her physique and natural armor, she became a human fortress!
A stunningly beautiful, yet impenetrable fortress!
A gigantic bee-woman, nearly ten meters tall, swooped down from the night sky.
Roaring air currents, a terrifying aura, like a bomber!
The speed of a leopard!
The gait of a hound!
Alan, enduring the pain from his leg injury, galloped at full speed, like a flash of blue lightning!
The giant bee-woman and the leopard-headed giant, one in the sky, the other on the ground, rapidly closing in!
Both were preparing their most powerful strikes!
The silver-alloyed giant sword in Eva's hand stirred the night sky, humming and vibrating.
The high-frequency vibrations of the blade stimulated layers of overlapping sword energy, resonating with each other.
As if using the sword as a needle, he embroidered intricate, dense silver petals against the night sky!
Fourth-level sword skill—Bloody Rose!
Buzz!
Silver petals, formed from countless sword energies, exploded simultaneously, slashing countless bloody wounds across Alan's chest.
At the same moment he was struck by the sword, Alan launched a punch skyward!
An incredibly simple yet incredibly ferocious punch!
Infinite moonlight, accompanied by a violent explosion from the iron fist!
Moon Shadow Bullet!!
