Leia gripped the ax hard enough that her hand turned white. Harvey and Robin stopped and hardened their faces. The baby spiders were packed from the floor to the walls of the cave.

“Robin… , Throw away the bag first.”

At Leah’s words, Robin didn’t say anything and put down the backpack. A dagger was clutched in Harvey’s hand, and Robin took out a mace from his backpack. Sweat broke out on my hands. During my years of living as an adventurer, there were many dangerous times. There were times when I almost lost my life by mistake. However, it was the first time I faced death as clearly as now.

“Don’t think about anything else. We have to prioritize breaking through here first.”

He was saying it to Robin and Harvey, but he was also saying it for himself. If they were to fall down here, they couldn’t even save the hero who was fighting in the middle of the sky behind them.

“That spider. I thought it was a little strange that he would just let it go.”

Harvey said in a fearful voice.

“In the first place, it didn’t matter whether we went or not.”

“Hold your weapon straight. Because it seems like I’ll have to send only one person alive.”

What would happen next, Leah tried not to think. I didn’t think I would be able to pierce it, but I had to fight with the determination to pierce it. Leah grabbed the ax and rammed the blade into the jaws of the spider that was leaping towards them.

The light emanating from the holy sword, heavy and modest like fog, was pure to be called the sun, and too bright to be called moonlight. It wasn’t noisy to be a thunderbolt, but too destructive to be a candle. Yes, galaxies and clusters of stars shining in the distance as if watching the world, if I had to say it. Or the extraterrestrial sublimity illuminated by a meteor that draws a long beam and disappears beyond the horizon and ridge.

“That… What the hell is it?”

Aragrid’s dismayed voice. I woke up, dragged by the light, stretching like a doll. It was as if someone had threaded a thread through the joints, bones, and muscles of the limbs, and pulled the thread to raise the body. The power that flowed into me from the Holy Sword was violent.

“how… The one who died.”

My ears were buzzing and ringing. Bone, flesh, muscle, and bloodline. Each cell that makes up the body was receiving the power flowing into the body and ringing the alarm bell. To be honest, the pain of enduring this power was much worse than the pain of breaking my bones and tearing my flesh. The body was shrinking inward and expanding outward at the same time. My body doesn’t seem to be able to last very long. It has to be done quickly.

I grabbed the holy sword with both hands and took the stance again. The light of the holy sword became more intense. My body turned into a gun barrel heated by the torrent of intense magical energy that penetrated my entire body, and the holy sword became a shot that could be fired at the enemy. At that momentum, Aragrid stretched out her hand, her face twisting.

“I know how to keep quiet!”

Cobwebs rushed at me. The web, which coiled around my feet like a snake, formed a noose and held my ankle. As soon as my ankles were grabbed, the spider webs spread like a net and clung to my body.

“Don’t kill me as it is.”

Aragrid smiled viciously, baring his teeth. Aragrid pretended to lightly tug my hand back, the web pulling taut and trying to tug at my body. The web under tension began to stretch with the sound of the fabric tearing.

“… why?!”

don’t get dragged I felt the tension as if hundreds of coursers were pulling my body, but my body did not budge like a deeply rooted old tree, as if it was not giving me this pain for no reason. Aragrid put on a stunned expression, but soon the castration even pulled up to my arm to pull me.

“Let’s see how long you can hold out like that. I will rip off your limbs as is.”

The body and cobwebs were screaming. I tugged at the web, trying not to distract myself, but the balance between me and Aragrid remained unbroken and tight. Thanks to that, Aragrid and I were trapped in a spider’s web, and in this case, the spider had a much better advantage. While me and Aragrid were playing tug-of-war, those little spiders that sneakily began to surround me would bite me off.

Then, the voice that had been ringing in my head rang again.

“[Resistance is not always the answer. Use the given power.]”

The moment I understood the meaning of the words, I relaxed my body. The taut spider web became a bowstring the moment I gave up holding on. Simplify your movements. I focused all my senses on the tip of the sword, recalling the movement when I stabbed the gray bear to death. The magic of the Holy Sword, which had been scattered like fog, settled on the sword body and emitted a stronger light.

Kaaang-!

I hear the sound of fighter planes splitting the sky. It seemed to be the sound of strongly condensed magical energy tearing through the air along with the holy sword. The pressure on his body increased as well. It felt like the wind would tear me apart with the air. Withstanding the pressure, I pulled my arm ready to end Aragrid’s throat.

body.

I shot the holy sword with the intention of piercing Aragrid’s stomach. And at the last moment, Aragrid threw away the fight and all, pulled the web and threw himself into the other side of the pupil.

Kwaaang-!!!

The holy sword created a huge crater on the wall of the pupil and engulfed it. In my heart, I was stunned and broke into a cold sweat at the unstoppable power.

‘… But the attack didn’t reach.’

There was a feeling that the blade had cut through something, but it didn’t seem to pierce Aragrid’s torso as intended. I clicked my tongue as I looked at the green bodily fluids scattered on the floor. I followed the trail of bodily fluids through the rising dust and found Aragrid’s figure.

“This guy… This guy is doing well!!!”

Aragrid’s ‘upper body’, that is to say, the junction between the woman’s body and the spider’s torso was about to be cut in half. The part corresponding to the spider’s stomach also poured out the intestines as if it had been torn apart by the sword wind, and the three pairs of legs attached to its sides twitched and convulsed.

“I will definitely eat you as much as you!”

Aragrid’s voice gave way to a terrible noise, like a knife scraping a metal plate towards the end. Wow. Aragrid’s mouth was torn open as if it had been zipped.

As if opening the lid of a trash can, Aragrid opened her head and reached out to scoop up the baby spiders like a shovel. No, you can’t call it a hand. Now, the ‘arm’ that resembled that person’s was changed to that of a spider with three joints.

squeak, squeak.

The baby spiders were sucked into Aragrid’s mouth without resistance, like phages being sucked into a burrow. I tried to suffocate him completely before he fully recovered, but Aragrid’s poison sprayed me in all directions, and time was wasted.

When I staggered, the voice came back as if it were interfering.

“[Tsk tsk. You don’t even know how to use the holy sword.]”

I tried to let those words go through one ear and then turned and gripped the holy sword. Aragrid’s upper body, which had swallowed dozens of baby spiders in an instant, became mushy, then lost its human form and began to melt like wax.

Caduk, Caduk, Caduk.

With the sound of the shell breaking, Aragrid reappeared. The human upper body was nowhere to be found, and this time it was just a giant spider. The appearance of a human body sprouting was strange and beautiful, but now it was just a big, disgusting spider.

Kiehek-!!

The human voice could not be heard, perhaps because the vocal organs were changed as the upper body disappeared. It was a shame to call him by his first name because he looked like that. spider monster. The name of that monster inside me was corrected to a spider monster in Aragrid.

The light of the holy sword rose again. I was gradually getting used to the pain that was eating away at me. As the pain subsided, the body found a sense of stability. I felt like I could finally use this power the way I wanted.

“… I want to try this and that by killing you as slowly as possible.”

I murmured as I exhaled. The spider monster cried out sharply as if answering my words.

“Thanks, we have to go quickly.”

seemed Before opening the holy sword, he had just wielded the sword recklessly, but now he seemed to be able to see a little bit of how to draw the sword. Traces of the sword could be read from the flow of magical energy that started from the heart and spread throughout the body, legs, and arms. I raised my sword and aimed at the spider monster. Their escape was blocked by the collapse of the wall at my first attack.

Kiyi Ik-!!

The spider monster took the remaining cubs and jumped out. A word to use force. I lowered the tip of the holy sword without taking my eyes off them until the end. In a situation where I didn’t need to overwhelm them with speed and power, there was no reason to deliberately run at them.

one first. The head of the baby spider that fell first flew through the sky. Before the cross section was even separated, the next spider’s body split in two. The stomach of the next spider was pierced, and a flash of light appeared like a crack in the mass of spiders pouring down.

“… Robin.”

This is the third time calling. There was no answer from Robin. Judging by the slight shaking of his body as he fell, he wasn’t dead yet. Leia turned her head to look at Harvey, who had fallen down beside him. It wasn’t much different from Robin’s condition.

If left as is, both of them will be paralyzed and eaten by spiders. The recovery potion is exhausted. There was no way to detoxify the poison slowly accumulating in the body as it was bitten by the spider’s teeth.

“I’m not too far away.”

Leia felt her muscles begin to stiffen slowly with intoxication. Let alone sending one person first, they couldn’t even clear the road properly. Leah staggered and moved her arms to pull the ax out of the spider’s torso. The spider shuddered at his feet, then flipped over on his stomach and died.

crap, crap.

The spiders were slowly gathering near their dying prey. Harvey’s lantern fell on the floor, illuminating the spiders and casting shadows over the adventurers’ heads.

Key profit!

One of the spiders hastily rushed in, but was split in the head by Leah’s axe. The faster the body moved, the faster the poison spread through the bloodstream. Leia was using her mana to slow down the action as much as possible, but she couldn’t stop it forever.

“Kuh-.”

Starting with that spider, they began to attack the adventurers one by one. Each time it was blocked by Leah’s shield, or its legs were cut off one by one with an axe, but the spiders didn’t care and continued to run until they died. Leah’s movement slows down with each less spider.

fluff.

Leah’s legs stiffened completely. Leah fell to her knees in front of Robin and Harvey.

Death was always thought of. Because I didn’t know when I would die if I worked as an adventurer. I always lived with the thought of carrying a will. It was not uncommon for one or two comrades to come back tomorrow as shredded corpses. Adventurers lived with the habit of not knowing when they would die. Leah didn’t show it outwardly, but she thought she was also preparing for death.

However, when it came to that situation, it was fear. Commitment did not mean preparation. Leah sighed and closed her eyes. Even though all hope was going out like a candle in the wind, he still thought he wanted to live.

“Warrior… .”

Is he still holding out under that burrow? Did he not let go of hope, did he despair like himself, or was he already being hunted and eaten by the spider monster in a gruesome way? The last thing he saw before he died was a spider, which was an odd situation. Leah slowly lowered her fluttering eyelids.

Kwaaang-!!!

The strange thing happened then.

A thunderous roar echoed from deep within the anthill. The spiders clicked and agitated, then suddenly gathered together and began to swarm deep into the burrow. Leia blinked like someone who had just escaped sleepiness and turned her head in the direction where the spiders had disappeared.

The space that had previously been filled with noise was empty, leaving only the intermittent breathing of Robin and Harvey. Leah held her breath and sensed the flow of magical energy that began to wriggle in the depths of space.

thud.

thud.

Kieh-!!

A sound was heard. Metallic, flesh ripping, the screams of spiders, the sound of something heavy hitting a wall. The sound of the crash was like the beating of a huge drum. The sound resounded as if to match the slow beating of Leah’s heartbeat, gradually increasing in volume.

thud.

thud.

When the sound reached the space in front of her, Leia sensed a familiar presence across the aisle.

Kwaaang-!!!

The walls of the ant nest burst open. And what appeared among the flying dust was a baby spider wobbling its legs. The spider desperately stretched out its forelimbs, but was stepped on by someone walking up from behind, spilling blood and brains onto the floor. Its feet pushed the spider’s carcass aside and began to walk slowly.

jerk, jerk.

The footsteps walked down the aisle and stopped in front of Leah, who had collapsed on the floor. In Leia’s eyes, the blade of the sword glowed softly like a lantern.

“Is everyone alive?”

A bright smile spread across Leah’s face at the voice of the hero who was heard before long.
