Reborn: I'm A Dragon Girl With An OP System - Chapter 365: The Biggest Loophole Of All

Chapter 365: The Biggest Loophole Of All

–AN) Am sick today, so only an extra long chapter.–

I couldn’t help but smile as I saw the queens submit once more. I had an inkling from the start that they were not all that bright. But now this confirmed it and also made it obvious that I could make use of this as well.

“Next question!” Queen number 1 yelled out as she held up the card. “Who was the first beezastic dancer in the very first beezee got talent?”

Time ticked by, but no one knew the answer. As the time buzzer went off, the queens smiled as queen number 1 said: “Since no one answered, you will all lose a limb!”

“Wait!” I yelled out once more, causing the queens to frown.

Queen number 2 looked at me and asked: “What is it now!?”

“You just said we all lose a limb, but that is not right. Earlier, you said that if we did not answer, you would be the ones to lose a limb.” This time I used dragon speak at a lower frequency to make things more muddled. I did not wish to try to fight the Defender Bee that was way above my current level. Even in my dragon form, I would not be able to beat it.

Luckily the low version of my dragon speak did not get detected as magic use, so I was happy to see the three queens look at each other in confusion and go into a huddle once more. Once they were out, Queen number 2 said: “It is true we did say this, so we will be the ones losing a limb this time….”

As such, what followed was cries of pain by the queens as they cut their own limbs off. Each one had four limbs, and now they each only had three. Green blood flowed from their wounds as they quickly went to heal them. This told me that they did know magic, but it was very low, from what I could tell.

The other two bugs who were next to me both stared at me with complicated expressions. I nodded at them, and they both nodded back at me. This was a mutual understanding. No one will answer any more questions!

“Ahem….” Queen number 1 cleared her throat, but I could tell she was in pain. She held up the card and asked: “The answer was Beetinia! Now on to the next question! When did the Beeunication happen?”

Silence. Time quickly ticked by, and another scream of pain was heard as they all lost a leg to stand on. Now they only had one arm and one leg left. And they did not seem to be too pleased by it. They had stopped even giving the right answers as they moved on to the next question.

“Next question! Who is the richest beeman in the world?” This was probably an easy question, but no one wanted to lose a limb, and since we had a silent pact, not me, nor the caterpillar, nor the beetle spoke up, causing the queens to begin to sweat.

*Bzzzt!*

The time went off, and now the three queen bees all picked up their swords and cut off their final legs. They now only had a single limb left. “Gah…. Now…. Next question….” Queen number 1 was starting to have a hard time breathing as I smiled and waited patiently for the next question.  This time though the queen’s eyes seemed to flash as she asked: “What is the name of the beetleman that came on to the show today!?”

Silence…. This was not a bee question! She made it up in order to have one of us lose a limb! But sadly for her. As time continued to tick by, the three queens began to sweat, and when the sound of the buzzer went off, the three queen bees slumped in their seats, unable to do anything. But the next second, a defender bee suddenly dropped down and swung its sword, cutting off the last of the queen bee’s limbs! The rules of the show were designated by the queens, which meant they had to follow their own rules!

“Ah!! Fine!” Queen number 1 yelled out as she said: “Since you all are so stupid, we will go into a special bonus round. Whoever gets this answer right wins one million queen bee honey! The question is….. What is….. 2+2!?”

I lowered my head and fell into deep thought for a moment before shaking it… “Sorry, I am not a bee, so I don’t know such complicated math….”

“Same, I am only a beetle….”

“I am just a caterpillar….”

The two contestants at my side followed behind me, adding flames to the fire. The sound of the buzzer went off, and the three bee queens’ eyes became filled with fear as the defender bee dropped down. “Wait! Something is wron…..” It was too late. The defender bee swung its sword, and the three queens lost their heads. It then turned to us and waved its hand, sending down three brown pouches. Curious about what it was, I opened it to find bottles of golden honey that had a strange energy coming from them. I quickly stored it away before turning and killing my two comrades in arms and taking their brown pouches as well!

I would not give up good stuff to bugs! As the two died, though, the whole place started to fall apart, and the stage where the queen bees were, disappeared, revealing a door. I walked over and opened the door to see the dungeon core room and a handsome demon standing in front of it. He looked over at me and smiled as he asked: “Done playing yet?”

“Mm…. I got something good. What did you do?” I asked.

“I killed them all and waited here for you after killing the real bee queen,” Diablo replied. ” But to think that as soon as I lost sight of you, I was unable to get in touch with you. I do not want something like this to happen again….”

I smiled and walked over, and kissed his lips. “Don’t worry. I have a magic circle that might be able to break through the binding on the fog. Once I am able to have some free time, I will refine it and make it so that I can create a barrier that will ward off the binding and have a clear path to the dungeon entrance. Although I do believe this dungeon is quite dangerous for lower levels….”

“That is true. While the three queens and the contestants were at low levels, the defenders’ levels were very high, and their strength was also very powerful. One hit from them can take over a million health in one shot if your defenses are not high enough.” Diablo explained as he held out his hands. “It took over one hundred thousand of my life with a single attack. This just proves how strong they were.”

I frowned when I saw his hand and quickly healed it. “Did you really test the damage like that?” I asked, narrowing my eyes at him.

“You came here to see the level of the dungeon, so I was just helping….” Diablo pressed his lips together. I know he was doing it for me but still… with his level, there is no way they could have hurt him. I hugged his waist and pushed my face into his chest, and bit down. “Don’t hurt yourself for me. Not like this….”

“I won’t do it again….” With his promise, I smiled and nodded my head before walking over to the dungeon core.

“Wait! Before you do that here, take these. They dropped from the defenders and boss.”  Diablo held out a limit break stone and a few evolution stones to me. “You needed these, right? To grow stronger?”

“Mmm…” I nodded my head. I did indeed need these…

“We still have a few days before the wedding, and in here,  I was able to contact Iena. So everyone knows we are safe. Take this time to evolve. It should give you greater strength than you have now.” Diablo suggested. I am glad I showed Diablo what evolution stones look like. While they can drop from anything in dungeons, no one could use them besides me, from what I know. Unless there was a skill that allowed for evolution that you could get randomly from skill stones, otherwise, they were just shiny rocks that people might sell or make jewelry out of.

“Then I will be counting on you to protect me,” I said as I took the stones and walked over to the front of the dungeon core. I put away the limit break stone and held the evolution stone in my hand. This could only be used in the evolution tab of my system. But as the stones in my hands got near the dungeon core, the two seemed to resonate. I looked at the evolution stones and then at the dungeon core in front of me before putting the evolution stones away and picking up the dungeon core. “It can’t be, right?”

[Ding!]

[Special conditions met…]

[Evolution Core detected….]

[Special evolution menu now unlocked…..]
