Chapter 258
Angele did not say anything but started thinking .
"Is there a way to stay away from them?" Baron wondered .
"No . Cloud Bees will attack anything flying over them and eat anything they find . " Hikari shook her head .
The four wizards remained silent after the short discussion, trying to figure out the best way to deal with the bees .
Inside the room, the flame inside the oil lamp was dancing .
"I think the magic matrices on the airships can be activated to do damage . " Angele suddenly opened his mouth . "But I’m not sure if it’s a good idea . "
"We can test it on the first two Cloud Bees that come to the airship . " Reyline nodded slightly .
"How long until we reach the Cloud Bee’s territory?" Angele questioned .
"We’ll be there in half a month . "
"Good, let’s get prepared then . " Angele stood up . "I’ll return to my room . " He pushed the door open and left .
The others stood up as well .
"I wonder how many of us will make it to Omandis," Hikari muttered .
"Good luck everyone . " Baron put on his hood and stepped out of the door .
************************
It was night time .
Angele returned to his own airship .
The deck was empty .
He jumped off the railings and stepped on the deck . Baron followed after him and jumped to the deck as well . The only thing making noise was their footsteps .
"Green, let’s cut the crap . How strong is the defensive matrix on the airship?" Baron asked from behind .
"It’s hard to say . I need to do some testing . " Angele turned around . "But don’t raise your expectations . Our enemy is strong," he warned in a serious tone .
"Cloud Bees have high Stamina and resistance . They’re also good fighters . If our plan fails, many of us will die . "
Although Angele was confident in his fighting skills, the stories he heard about the bees were still horrifying . He could not promise anything to the crew until he actually fought one .
"Also, there are many magic stones stored on the bottom level of the cabin . The defensive and offensive matrices are set up there as well . If we have a matrix master, the trip will be much easier . We can only fight with what we have right now . " Angele sighed .
"We need to make sure the airship is not badly damaged . That’s the priority . " Baron added, "You, me, Reyline, and Hikari are the strongest wizards in the team . We need to collect as much information as we can when we encounter the scout bees . "
"For sure . "
"Alright, I’ll go have some rest . " Baron turned around and walked to the stairs .
Angele stood on the deck and waited till Baron left .
*WOO*
A black shadow soared through the sky and landed on Angele’s right shoulder . It was a night sparrow with four wings .
Angele patted its back as he stood beside the railings and looked down .
Some blue light dots were flashing in the dark forest, probably some luminous plants .
The gentle white light from the two crescent moons shined upon the land .
Angele stood by the railings and waited . About half an hour later, a man slowly walked out of the cabin .
It was a man with a serious expression on his face . He was wearing a long black robe that helped him blend into the dark background . His face was pain and his eyes were surrounded by dark circles .
"Are you looking for me?" He walked to Angele . "Finished the discussion?"
"The situation is bad . Perry healed you, right? He said you knew a lot about matrices . " Angele leaned forward . "So, the matrices on the airship…"
The man interrupted before Angele could finish .
"Well, nothing I can do about that . You know what the airship is made of, right? Pinewood is hard, light, and elastic . However, its conductivity with energy is bad . I can’t improve the matrices because of that," the man explained . He was the one who had helped Angele ambush Baron during the competition .
"You mean the three airships will be able to handle the damage but it’s impossible to make the offensive matrices stronger?"


"Correct . " The man nodded .
"Alright . Thanks for the help . "
"Yeah . "
The two walked down the staircase together and returned to their own rooms .
Angele sat in the room and thought for a while, but he did not come up with any viable plan .
Half a month passed in a blink of the eyes .
Angele had already communicated with most of the wizards from the three airships .
Hikari was hated by all the wizards on the first airship . Thus, she stayed in her room most of the time . The wizards on her airship also barely talked to each other after the competition .
Only two wizards asked Angele about the situation but that was the only conversation they had .

The situation on Reyline’s airship was different . All the wizards respected him for his power . He also recruited an assistant, a beautiful lady around 20 years old, who was Reyline’s cousin . She wanted to join the discussion between the captains . Angele had no problem with that .
Perry, Nopel, and Coach treated Angele differently after the fight . It seemed like they wanted to become friends with the strongest wizard in the team, but the other wizards just stayed in their room and minded their own business .
Angele was not concerned about the relationship between the wizards . Perry, Nopel, and Coach’s skill level was below the average . He would rather spend more time with Baron and the man in the black robe .
All the functions of the airships were the same as before, but the other wizards would bow to Angele slightly after he had become the owner of the amulet .
***************************
In the endless blue sky, the three black gondolas were hanging down three envelopes, moving forward slowly .
Two white dots were flying around the leading airship .
They looked like flies moving around rotten food .
The wizards gathered on the deck of the leading airship . They were looking at the flying white dots nervously .
Angele stood in the front with a serious look on his face . The captains were standing behind him . No one spoke a word and the atmosphere was heavy .


"The defensive matrices are fully operational . I’ll remove the force barrier now . Stay alert everyone!" Angele suddenly yelled . He held the amulet in right hand and shook it slightly .
A white glint flashed on the surface of the crystal .
The invisible force barriers were deactivated, and three airships were now exposed to the threat .
The pair of Cloud Bees noticed the change and stopped flying around, now rushing straight to the people on the deck .
Angele finally had a clear view of the creature when they approached .
These were two enormous bees, with white-colored bodies and blue spiral patterns covered their abdomen . Each of the bees was about two meters tall and the images of the wizards on deck reflected in their compound eyes .
"Ready!" Angele raised his right hand .
"I’ll do it!" A muscular male wizard from the first airship stepped forward . There was a long iron bow in his hands .
He raised the bow and pulled the bowstring to full, then fired an invisible arrow .
*CHI*
The arrow landed on one of the Cloud Bees accurately . It exploded and turned into a large sticky web, capturing the two bees .
*BOOM*
The Cloud Bees failed to dodge the web and hit the surface of the deck hard, rolling several times on the floor .
Before Angele gave the next order, two wizards had already jumped onto the bees . One of them had a mace, while the other a long crossguard sword .
*CLANK*
Red light and the yellow light flashed in the air . The two wizards were blown away by the impact, smashing against the railings . They struggled for several seconds before they stopped moving .
"Arian, are you alright?" Another wizard rushed to help them . "Oh, god!" he suddenly yelled .
The two Cloud Bees were trying to escape from the web . Angele asked Reyline to get ready for the possible attack and went to check on the two injured wizards .
The air around the two was freezing .


Their bodies were covered by a thick layer of frost . Angele narrowed his eyes and he saw two stingers penetrated their chests .
The half-meter-long stinger broke through the wizard’s force shield easily .
An old light wizard crouched and checked the two wizards’ condition . He then looked at Angele and shook his head slightly .
They were killed in one single strike .
"Their force shields did nothing…The damage is horrifying…" A female wizard’s face turned pale . "And Arian’s Talent skill is much stronger than mine…"
Angele pursed his lips and turned around . He saw that the two Cloud Bees had already escaped the translucent web and were now flying around above the deck .
Reyline and the several other wizards were attacking the bees using electric arrows, but the bees were so fast that they dodged most of the attacks easily . They were still flying in the air even after being hit several times .
Angele noticed that the bees’ bodies were surrounded by a thin light barrier, protecting them from all the electric arrows .
Reyline and Baron were observing the light barrier as well . There were also wizards recording and calculating data of the two Cloud Bees .
Once, the Cloud Bees tried to rush down and Baron and Reyline shot them with stronger electric arrows, yet none of them did any actual damage to those monsters .
Angele asked them to increase the spell damage to over 40 degrees, but they still failed to break through the Cloud Bees’ barriers . The two bees were still trying to charge to the wizards .
Angele expression turned serious as time passed .
He stood by the railings quietly while Zero was analyzing the creature .
Rows of data were being refreshed in his right .
‘Simulation and analysis completed . ’
Zero’s mechanical voice echoed in Angele’s ears, and he felt a bit relieved .
‘Worker bee’s data . Results are not final . ’
‘Strength, over 11 . Agility, over 8 . Stamina, over 8 . Mentality, over 24 . Talent skills: (2) Ice Forcefield: Created by strong mentality, can block any damage lower than 30 degrees, and all Ice damage will be ignored . (2) Damage Reduction: Every time a bee is attacked by physical skills or energy strikes, the damage will be halved . (3) Toxic Stinger: Release the stinger . Damage, unknown . Other skills, unknown . ’
‘Mentality over 24…’ Angele finally knew why a significant number of wizards would die on a trip to Omandis . The creature was like a flying Grand Knight with extreme magic resistance and it could even deal elemental damage . The bee could also use ranged attacks if it wanted to .
"Baron! I’m ready!" Angele communicated with Baron and Reyline using energy particles .
