Chapter 201 Finding The Region Boss
As Raydon made his way through the middle of the forest, he chuckled to himself and said, "The little bastards didn\'t even leave me a mob to kill."
Even though he had been walking for the better part of an hour, he had not yet encountered any living mobs in the area. It should come as no surprise that the reason for this was that the bees that he summoned with his Explosive Swarm skill had eliminated all of the monsters in the area before he could even see them.
\'I can\'t even find all the bodies.\' He proceeded a little further and reflected as he got closer to the body of a dead boar that had a large hole in its stomach from which smoke was still coming out. It would appear that one of Raydon\'s bees was responsible for the death of this boar not too long ago.
Due to the fact that Raydon\'s investigative-type skill only enables him to locate living things, and since he was unable to see the health bars of the enemies when they died, he was required to search for the bodies of dead boars in order to collect his loot.
After taking the mob\'s body and putting it in his dimensional storage, Raydon checked to see if his Explosive Swarm skill was ready to use again.
\'\'Explosive Swarm. \'\'
While watching the bees dash into the woods, he thought. \'It looks like I switched to the logistics item holder build. \'
Raydon thought that all that was left for him to do at this point was gather the loot that his bees had left behind, but when the subsequent system messages started to appear, he realized that this way of thinking was not entirely incorrect.
[Lv.9 Snow-Man(F-Rank) has been killed.]
[Your team gained 9 points.]
[You gained 180 experience points.]
…
[Lv.7 Snow-Man(F-Rank) has been killed.]
[Your team gained 7 points.]
[You gained 140 experience points.]
..
[You gained 100 experience points.]
"Fuck, in what direction are they?"
As soon as he realized that his bees had located the opposing team, he hoped that the entire enemy team had not yet been eliminated. He then immediately activated the Death Sense skill and started to investigate the surrounding area.
His bees were capable of traveling great distances in a short amount of time, and Raydon had not been able to locate the opposing team because he had not used the Death Sense skill in a while due to the fact that it had a cooldown and because he wanted to save as much mana as possible. Because of this, his bees were able to locate the enemy team before he did.
\'\'Thank goodness. \'\'
[Lv.8 Snow-Man(F-Rank) has been killed.]
[Your team gained 7 points.]
[You gained 160 experience points.]
…
[You gained 120 experience points.]
Raydon was relieved that he is now able to find the dropped items more easily because he was able to locate the final two enemies before they died.
\'It looks like I\'ll have to make some adjustments to my investigative skill as well. \' As he made his way to the spot where the enemy team had been killed, he reflected on the situation.
Even though the vision range of his Death Sense skill was quite large, it was still woefully inadequate for such a large region. In addition, he was unable to use the skill consecutively and had to wait for the cooldown period, which was a few minutes each time.
Raydon arrived at the location not long after the death of the opposing team, and fortunately, he was able to locate the items without much difficulty.
"1 green-grade, a few white-grades and trash items, but still a very profitable match with what I loot from my own team." He delightedly let out a chuckle. Raydon still had two more hours until the end of the match, and all he needed to do was find and eliminate the Region Boss.

[1350/1350]
\'\'Haha, you were hiding here, huh? \'\'
In the course of Raydon\'s search for the Region Boss using his Death Sense skill, he finally came across an HP bar that was significantly higher than what would be expected of a typical F-Rank mob.
Additionally, he was fortunate that the bees he had summoned a while ago to kill common mobs hadn\'t discovered the Region Boss so he wouldn\'t have wasted them.
\'To defeat this Region Boss, it will most likely be necessary for me to give up three, and possibly even four, of my bees. \'
He gave it some thought before beginning his trek toward the cave with the large entrance, which was the location of the Boss\'s hiding spot.
When Raydon approached the entrance to the cave, he immediately began employing the combo that he had created recently.
\'\'Rusty Chain. \'\'
After activating his chain and wrapping it around his right arm, he began to use the berserker technique.
As Raydon performed his technique, the chain that he wore on his arm began to glow with the intense heat of the black flames, which caused the air all around him to sizzle with energy.
He clamped his eyes shut and took a few deep breaths as the dark flames wound their way around him like a living thing. As the rate of his heartbeat increased, the sound of it began to reverberate inside the cavern like the beating of a war drum. Simultaneously, a sudden surge of heat caused the flames to burst into smoke, enveloping him in a thick haze of darkness.
The smoke that was all around him whirled and twisted, taking on the appearance of a writhing vortex of black fire that seemed to pulse with a life of its own. The flames licked at his skin, fanning his hair and causing it to dance erratically in the raging wind caused by the flames.
As Raydon basked in the power of his own creation, his eyes suddenly opened wide, revealing gray pupils that shone with a ferocious intensity.
