Paru let out a pained shout as several of the bees managed to sting her. "This is absurd!!! <How am I supposed to fight bees with a sword?!> I mean, I've fought, like, GIANT bees with a sword, but that seems more reasonable some how..." She swung her sword rapidly toward the swarm, using the moment to back away. "I swear, that frog better make me <warden> or something after all this!" She loosed her sword in a heavy swing toward the shell of a man.

"Shoot!" Darin muttered as he winced at the stings, attempting to back away with a leap [1].

Darin looked around, attempting to assess the situation. Noticing the attempt of the primary swarm to dodge, he quickly came to an uneasy conclusion: They would have to attack the heart of the swarm.

Darin really, really, didn't like the idea of approaching the swarm of hundreds of insects; but the cold truth was that the only way forward was through. So, he began a sprint to the main swarm, hoping to skid to a stop just out of it's reach [2]. Then, without a moment to spare for true aim, Darin instead drew upon whatever skill he could recall in the split second moment, firing a shot into the center of the bees [3].

As Boreas repeated the first steps, it would have the same result. His cold slash managed to slice away some bees, although some slipped past him by retaliating and stinging more. Once more, he'd feel a bit more resistance, but whatever it was, it was able to keep moving away from taking the brunt of his sword's hit.

Upon hearing Paru call, out, Deliverance instinctively flinched. The stinging pain from the bees had brought up the pain he'd felt being whipped by the beast masters, combined with the shouting, he wasn't in a good place.

Meanwhile, Paru herself managed to sort-off avoid getting stung too much more as she headed for the remnants of the Rag Man. All she'd find, however, was an empty shell, as it cracked and burst into pieces from her attack. Whatever had been inside of it, it was somewhere else now.

Darin, reaching his conclusion, decided to try to act upon it. However, out of all of them, his weapon was the least suited for this task. Although he was brave enough to get up-close, the bees yet again managed to move out of the way. In turn, some more headed his direction, ready to sting again.

To make matters worse, more and more insects started to gather. They all seemed to be aggravated by what was at the centre of that swarm. It seemed like they were close to a breakthrough in figure out how to deal with this, but they might need to coordinate something.

It didn't look like they were going to have much time either, as they might want to figure out how to act fast. Somehow, whatever it was doing, the buzzing from the swarm was growing louder. More intense. More fierce. More dangerous. It seemed like it might be preparing something.

“Where... where do I aim at!?!” Deliverance, despite his state of panic, called out. He had to resist the urge to just start shooting orbs in any possible direction, as he felt himself getting stung more and more by them. His mind wasn't in the right place to be thinking right now and he desperately hoped someone would just tell him what to do. Perhaps the far-reaching slave drilling flaring back up, not a desire, but an instinct to act upon being commanded taking over.

  When that failed he tried his earlier attack again at least that version of it killed a few bees. Maybe he should get more attacks into his artillery later. He was definitely learning to regret somethings now as things were. He held his sword up and proceeded to lash a big fat ‘X’ in the air. Although he doubted it would work.

  Spoiler: Backstory

  Edwin grew up in a different world. He specifically had a particularly uneventful life. He was a man in his 30s who worked as a detective and the most interesting things came from that job. He took care of his bills and he lived alone. Nothing huge happened in his town and wouldn't be for awhile until a case of connected murderers started happening, all of which had a very clear connection. Or Edwin was the one to notice said connection. And eventually he would find a lead, but before he would be able to make it back to the station, he would be dragged into an alley and stabbed to death.

  
  

  Spoiler: Current life

  Edwin doesn't remember any talk about [God] or anything involving a [God] of any sort, though he kept his memories of his past life. However, when he woke up, the first thing he could process before opening his eyes was he felt a numbness in his body. Namely in his hands and the familiar feeling of 'pins and needless' and he felt freezing. When he started opening his eyes, it was that he started to warm up. He began taking in his surroundings, he was in front of a fire, he was resting against a man he didn't know and he felt like he was going to panic. He also noticed he seemed smaller, his soul had been given to Boreas, a boy who was five at the time. Boreas had nearly died from frostbite. Though confused and would try to find clues about what happened, he eventually accepted the identity of 'Boreas Moonshire', who grew up in a family of farmers on the near outskirts of the Duchy. A place devoted to its research of magic. Growing up as Boreas, he would help his family cater to its crops and its animals. Sometimes his Boreas's dad would take him out to the market where he would sell food at the market. When Boreas had free time, he typically found himself immersed in a book of some sort typically involving magic and swordsmanship, and if he wasn't doing that he was trying to hone his detective skills, which he had managed to keep in this life. On his 21st birthday he was given a mythril sword by his parents.

As the bees approached, Darin retreated from his advanced position with haste, not wanting to be stung any more than necessary [1].

Instead of frantically firing more shots, Darin narrowed his eyes, squinting at the mass of insects. He tried to see through it, hoping to make out anything that could be of use; or a possible target [2]. The bugs were dodging his shots for a reason, but he didn't know what; something at the center? Yet, they were far to maneuverable and numerable for him to hit it himself.

As Boreas slashed his blades and shouted at Deliverance to attack, Darin gave a shout of his own. "I don't know what these bugs are protecting, but there must be something in that swarm! I'll fire once you've all hit them; maybe they'll be too disorientated to dodge again!" With that hope in mind, Darin carefully aligned his musket, waiting for Boreas' and Deliverance's attacks to launch and hit; as soon as they did, Darin would try to aim at anything abnormal he could spot in the swarm, if such a weakness existed at all, and then pull the trigger on his precisely planned shot [3].

As Boreas predicted, simply trying to slash in the same manner as before didn't work. It only helped thin out the swarm of bees to avoid being sting more, but it didn't kill whatever was at the source of it.

“Huh... What?” Deliverance was confused upon hearing Boreas' statement, looking at the remnants of the 'shell' that once had been the ragged man. Surely Boreas couldn't mean he'd just fire his orbs at that, could he?

It was Darin's reply that helped him figure it out. If those bugs were protecting something... perhaps that was the Ragged Man that Boreas meant? Was it in the swarm? “Alright!” He'd shout back, upon which he'd add actions to words. Using Flux on his [Ethereal Blight C] again, he'd sent a 10 orbs with some area (F) coverage at the swarm to try reveal what was within it, as Darin had suggested.

As Darin had guessed, upon the orbs crashing into the swarm from all sides, it finally revealed something more solid in the middle of it. The very thing Boreas had been gracing and that'd been dodging Darin. Although it wasn't clear what it was from afar, it was clear enough in sight for Darin to shoot straight through it. A splattering noise was heard, after which all of a sudden, the bees dispersed... and all was silent.

“Did.. did that get it?” Deliverance asked, in disbelieve and in pain from all the stinging. Then again, they all are in pain from being stung left and right, so he tried to toughen it out, the flashbacks fading now that the buzzing stopped. Upon looking around more, still not noticing any new bees, he'd give a big sigh of relief. Then he tried to pull out some of the stingers till stuck in his skin.

“That was horrible...” He'd mutter.

If someone were to go take a closer look; what they'd find was the remnant of a half-rotten heart; likely kept alive through some sort of necromancy.

Pebble

Spoiler: Full Image

“Whispers! Whispers of the Same! Whispers stronger! Whispers!” Pebble suddenly called out from atop Paru's shoulder. It seemed whatever they were after... there was still something more to it.

As the group would gather up for the last leg of the long journey, they'd continue forwards (or so I'll assume they would to not delay stuff more than needed) until they found themselves in a big opening in the midst of the marshes. (At that point, cooldowns would've refreshed for everyone.).

In the middle of the room, there seemed to be some giant creature, in what seemed to a dormant state. Yet, now clear enough for all to see them, the 'threads' that had been spanning through this entire area all gathered into it. “Same! Same!” Pebble called out.

Deliverance

Spoiler: Full Image & Source

“Is.. is this what we've been after?” Deliverance asked, carefully looking around. Oddly enough, they weren't attacked. At least not yet. What was going on here? He tried to look around, see what stuck out... Other than the fact they weren't attacked for some reason.

  after this battle ended Boreas gave Deliverance a pat on the back.
  
  “Good job.”
  
  He told him. Them they would look at the giant green thing. That was semi reminiscent humanoid shape wise he supposed. He tilted his head at it in confusion. And he wasn’t keen on looking like a threat. He put his sword back in his sheath. He then used [Icey Gaze [F] ] murmuring.
