Spider Queen Arachnainera – 5
Read at noblemtl.com
My head was spinning rapidly. Coincidence coincided with an unexpected coincidence and led to the worst result, so the situation was seriously bad.
Rize was getting pushed back because she couldn’t do proper range attacks because she was fighting while protecting me, and Claudia’s weapon was a greatsword in the first place, so her limitations were clear.
Not to mention Erica, who was captured by Arachninera and was about to be sucked alive.
‘Is there a way? It should be.’
I slashed the spider that leaped into my face with a single knife, and focused on thinking of a solution to overcome this situation.
First of all, saving Erica is the top priority, and next, you have to make sure Lize and Claudia don’t get overwhelmed by the spiderlings, and you have to do both at the same time.
I desperately shook my head and squeezed out my thoughts. I came up with a solution for each situation, but I couldn’t come up with a solution that could handle them together.
A way to handle the two together, a way to do that… … .
‘have.’
Suddenly, a ray of light flashed through my mind. It was a solution that, if done well, could handle both at once and overcome the situation.
‘… … Is it possible?’
However, I wasn’t sure that even I would be successful.
If the development didn’t go my way, or if Arachnainera’s behavior was different from what I predicted, I would have to die. This time, it was a gamble left to chance.
‘No. It’s the same as dying anyway.’
I made up my mind. okay. Even if you stay like this, death is the same anyway.
Erica will die first, then an Arachnainera that has recovered its health will attack us, and it will either be sucked to death, just like Erica, or chewed alive.
If you die this way and that way, it was right to bet on the side with the highest probability.
“Claudia!”
I called out to Claudia. The situation was so urgent that there was no time to attach honorifics. The helmeted head turned this way.
“Thunderstorm! With full force!”
Hearing my words, Claudia and Lize both flinched at the same time. It was a word that cut off both front and back, but it was obvious what that sentence meant.
“Are you insane, Delta?! Then you die too!”
“It doesn’t matter, hurry up! If you don’t use it, everyone will die!”
I shouted like an intimidation, omitting all honorifics and courtesy. Claudia hesitated for a moment, then changed her grip on the greatsword as if she decided to trust me.
Seeing Claudia mercilessly striking the surroundings with lightning, as if trying to secure time to use it with maximum power, I burst two baby spiders at once and turned to Rise.
“Rize! Can you survive alone?”
“I can, but what are you going to do with Delta?! Two people is impossible!”
“Throw it over there!”
“What?!”
Rize spat out in astonishment. The place I pointed with my finger was where Erica and Arachnainera were entangled.
Erica struggled desperately to push Arachnainera away, but the limit was obvious. If left as it is, it would have been 30 seconds at most.
“Are you really sane, are you?!”
“There is no time, so do as I say quickly! That way we can even save Erika!”
Rize looked at her younger brother, who was about to be caught and killed by Arachnera, swarms of baby spiders flocking from all sides, and Claudia, who, as I said, was preparing for a lightning storm.
Then, as if he had made up his mind, he created a frost storm that froze the surroundings.
“Are you sure?!”
“There was never a time when I wasn’t sure!”
“Oh really! See you after this!”
A wall of ice was laid under my feet, and my body soared upward. Quaang! With a clatter, my body soared into the air and flew straight toward Arachnainera.
When I slightly averted my gaze, I saw Claudia preparing for a lightning storm. Chijik, lightning began to gather in his body. I spread my knees shoulder-width apart and raised the tip of my greatsword toward the sky.
“Die quietly, you little thing!”
Erica was biting her lip and glaring at the Arachnainera as it thrust its fangs into sucking its own blood. The armor he was wearing was as good as rags.
Then, after confirming that I was flying, I widened my eyes.
I checked the bloody sword. The duration of the buff is still long enough. All the conditions are met, so from now on, you just have to act as your body leads you. I crashed down
He gripped the sword firmly with one hand and gripped the back of Arachnainera’s neck with the other. A huge recoil came to the left arm that was gripping the neck. Grinding my teeth, it supported my weight.

My body naturally connected to the next movement. Just like when performing a fall attack on the mid-boss in Rune Dungeon.
Stepping on the spider’s upper part with his left leg, he turned his body halfway around to face Arachnainera and thrust the bloody sword hard into his collarbone.
ㅡPoo-wook!
“aaagh!”
The Spider Queen struggled in pain. Because of that, she lost track of Erica, and she tumbled to the floor, desperately moving her body to retrieve her weapon, which had been scattered nearby.
I shouted with the sword in my collarbone.
“Erika! Flame Barrier! Hurry!”
“yes? Yes Yes! I see, Mr. Delta!”
The Japanese sword in Erica’s hand burst into flames. With this, Erica will be able to survive the lightning storm. Rize should have already finished preparing for defense. Now only I am left.
Pulling out the sword from his collarbone, he stepped on his leg and jumped up. So that I would appear as if I was floating in the air in front of Arachnainera.
‘Please, please, please!’
I prayed inwardly as I watched Arachnainera writhe in pain. Please, as I predicted, move the same as in the game.
“You cheeky bastard!”
And as if to repay my prayers, Arachnainera made a distorted expression and grabbed me.
‘done!’
What I just did was a kind of pattern induction. Each boss has a skill that must be used when the player meets certain conditions, and of course there was a way to induce it.
In the case of Arachnainera, if you jump within reach of your upper body, you unconditionally launch a grab attack.
Once caught, there is no way to solve it on your own under normal circumstances, so the producers seemed to think that if the algorithm was set up like that, it would probably be able to constrain the player’s behavior.
However, users used magic with an extremely long delay before landing, deliberately jumped at the right timing to induce a catch pattern, and used it to definitively hit the magic.
The magic is adjusted according to the magic, and the Arachnainera misses the player due to the stiffness of the hit, so the damage of the catch can be avoided according to the damage zone.
It’s because it’s filthy difficult to get the timing right, but once you learn it, it’s definitely a useful skill, and my goals are similar.
Leaping on top of the ice field that Rize created and floating high, casting a fall attack in that state to make Erica miss, drawing the sword and jumping down once more to induce a catching pattern.
‘I’m really glad I succeeded.’
To be honest, it was a plan I wasn’t too sure about.
There was no guarantee that Arachninera would miss Erica with the drop attack. He could have just taken the pain and killed Erica while ignoring me.
Besides, there was no guarantee that Arachninera would use the grab pattern for me while floating in the air. It wasn’t a jump from the ground, but an imperfect jump on spider legs.
It was a plan in which we would have to pay the price with our lives even if one of the two went wrong, but this was the only method that came to mind in that situation, so we had no choice.
‘It’s real luck.’
I let out a sigh of relief and looked at the Arachnainera who held me.
“We met again. right?”
“Please come here to die! If dying is your wish, I will grant it!”
The old-fashioned way of speaking and enchanting voice from the beginning disappeared completely, leaving only a cracking voice and a harsh way of speaking.
“I’ll chew and eat you without leaving a single bone fragment!”
Jjeok, this time the mouth on the bottom of the belly opened wide.
It didn’t mean that he would eat me with human female powers. It would be more accurate to call it the spider’s mouth.
Of course, it was up to you to think. Since the location is the location, there were a lot of people who considered it to be a human genital organ.
‘Is this safe enough?’
There are two types of grabbing patterns, the human mouth sucking blood and the spider mouth chewing the player.
However, if caught while jumping, only the pattern of chewing through the lower mouth came out with a 100% probability.
The second pattern that will protect me from lightning.
“How many times do I say?”
ㅡQuarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
A loud clap of thunder came from behind, and the Arachnainera stopped moving, perhaps feeling something frightening.
It was the sound of thunder, signifying that the preparations for the thunderstorm were over. I peered over Arachnainera’s shoulder to see Claudia.
The dark gray steel greatsword was covered in lightning, making it difficult to recognize its original form, and Claudia was the same. Huge sparks flew around.
The baby spiders couldn’t even get close to it, and died with their legs closed, shivering.
“If you can, do it.”
ㅡQuaaa!!!!!!
Soon, lightning struck.
