Chapter 200 Farmer Bees
*BOOM*
*BOOM*
*BOOM*
*BOOM*
Raydon gasped, "Damn it, I couldn't have seen this coming," as he turned to face his fellow item holders, who had all been instantly killed by the enormous explosion brought on by his bees.
As soon as Raydon activated his skill, the bees that had been created by his black flame swarmed in all different directions, just as an agitated hive does when it is disturbed. Without any sense of direction or purpose, they careened towards the first target they stumbled upon, which unfortunately happened to be Raydon's own teammates. Within seconds, four of the bees collided with his unsuspecting companions and erupted into a devastating explosion, taking their lives in a single deadly blow.
He heaved a sigh as he said, "I guess this is the reason why this skill does not count as a command-type skill."
Except that the bees did not attack Raydon, they had no connections to him, and he was unable to exert any form of control over them. For Raydon, however, this was hardly a drawback.
It was possible that he would get in trouble later on if he continued to kill his teammates in every match by accident, but for the time being, he chose to ignore that possibility because gaining experience points was the only thing that mattered to him.
In addition, the fact that a single bee was all it took to kill a single teammate demonstrated how high the damage that these bees inflict, and it is likely that a single bee would have been sufficient to kill a mob in this match other than the Region Boss.
''They also appear to be fairly quick. ''
Raydon observed his bees diving, vanishing into the trees, and scattering into the forest with incredible speed in search of a target.
''The skill cooldown was lowered to 6 minutes, which is the best part. '' He exclaimed as he read through the description of the skill.
As a result of his high stamina, the skill cooldown of ten minutes was greatly reduced, and he was now able to use this skill up to thirty times over the course of the match, which lasted three hours.
Because of his high mana regen, he was also able to almost completely replenish the mana that he used up during this 6-minute period; as a result, he was able to use this skill without any issues at all once every 6-minute period.

''Hahahaha. From now on, this is my favorite skill. ''
Despite the fact that only a few seconds had passed since he had used his skill, Raydon couldn't help but let out a giddy laugh as he observed the system messages that were suddenly overlapping. The bees that swarmed the forest appeared to have located their prey and begun killing them.
After a short while of contentedly watching and following the system messages, Raydon was presented with the 36th system message after only two minutes had passed.
'It seems that I did, in fact, kill one monster for every single bee in just two minutes.' Raydon pondered.
With the exception of the four bees responsible for the deaths of his teammates, the remaining 36 bees had eliminated 36 mobs. With this knowledge, Raydon started a quick calculation right away.
''If I kill 40 monsters every six minutes by calling 40 bees, I will be able to use this skill to kill 1200 monsters by the time the match is over. My previous best for the most mobs taken out was somewhere around 700. I believe that by utilizing this new skill set, I will be able to easily surpass the record I set previously. ''
Following the completion of this calculation, Raydon's sense of humor was at an all-time high, and he began to make his way through the woods while he waited for his skill to be available once more.
His bees would take care of the mobs while he went in search of the Region Boss himself. Of course, he would increase his kill count if he was able to kill mobs in addition to the ones his bees killed while searching the Boss.
As he made his way through the jungle, he made the decision to put his movement-type skills on hold for the time being. After all, his bees were moving rather quickly at the moment, and he had an abundance of time to locate the Region Boss.
Right now, he wanted to save as much mana as possible for the Explosive Swarm skill, and he planned to use the Grim Blessing skill only after he had eliminated all of the monsters in his immediate vicinity. This would allow the bees to travel further and take out more monsters more quickly.

-Grade: Green
-Quality: Good
-Skill: Grim Blessing
The user activates and imparts their death aura upon their allies, increasing their movement and attack speed by 1% for themselves and their allies, up to a maximum of 20 times for each ally.
The duration of the skill varies based on the user's stamina stat.
The number of stacks varies based on the user's spirit stat.
-Mana cost: 350
-Duration: 20 minutes.
-Cooldown: 15 minutes.
He double-checked his skill specifications and deliberated over his plan. Through the use of this skill, Raydon was able to increase the speed of movement for both himself and his bees. In addition, because of his spirit stat, the maximum number of stacks that could be accumulated increased from 20 to 24, and Raydon was able to boost his movement speed by an additional 24%.
'Damn, just unlocking the spirit stat allowed for a significant increase in my farming efficiency. ' Raydon murmured and began to fantasize about farming experience points with an army under his command the next time if he could unlock his charisma stat.
