＜ 12. Into the crack (8) ＞
While hanging from the spider’s web, Arachnid’s pattern is rather monotonous. It hatches eggs carried on its back and drops them to the ground, intermittently spewing threads at enemies. These attacks are not lethal at all .
The problem is that Arachnids don’t come down from the spider’s web .
It’s the same with this side that you can’t make a fatal attack. The distance to the spider’s web was too high, so there was no option for long-range attacks, and long-range attacks with enough range were too weak .
The attack is naturally directed towards cutting off the spider’s web. However, that was never easy either .
The spider web itself was also quite strong, and even if one part was cut off, Arachnid quickly spewed out the thread to restore the web. Seeing the spider web that continues to be restored even after removing it, the player has no choice but to lose concentration and become exhausted .
Aiming at that moment, then descending and ambush the player was the gist of Arachnid’s basic pattern .
What was needed was strong firepower. A powerful single shot that can consume all of the spider webs in one go, without even giving them time to restore them .
Just like the burning potion in Andrea’s hand .
As Arachnid dropped the hatchling to the floor, Andrea threw the scorching potion towards the ceiling with all her might .
Kwakwawang! rumbling –
It hit a little below the spider web, but it didn’t matter. Although this potion lasts for a short time, it has tremendous firepower that turns even rocks into firewood the moment it burns .
The fire climbed the wall and engulfed the spider’s web. The fire spread quickly, with no time to react. Arachnid, noticing that the spider’s web was burning too late, crawled toward the wall, but it was too late. One side of the spider’s web was burned down and snapped, and the whole balance collapsed .
The spider’s web swayed, and Arachnid’s body sank downward. It was clear that he would fall if he continued on like this. Arachnid came downstairs, clinging to the wall that hadn’t been lit before .
“ Keee !”
“ Come !”
As if he were the main character in a cartoon, Grabel proudly raised his spear and charged towards Arachnid .
Unfortunately, the shelf life of that confidence was extremely short. As he got closer, Grabel realized that the size of the Arachnid was much larger than expected. It was because they misunderstood the size of Arachnid as smaller than it looked because the spider’s web was stretched high .
His complexion turned pale, and the speed of his attack gradually slowed down. However, the speed of turning around and running away was as fast as the time of running into it .
Arachnid pursued the fleeing Gravel .
“ Keee !”
“ Aww !”
boom !
It didn’t take long to catch up. Sharp hairy legs crushed Gravel. Gravel, whose back was broken without even swinging a spear .
“ That, Mr. Gravel ?”
Seeing that scene, Julia’s complexion also turned pale. The only one who was sane in that direction was Bagrati.
Bagratu did what he had to do, unfazed in the least. When I used the card in my hand, the skin all over my upper body opened as if it had been cut with a knife, and a haze of blood flew away. At the same time, both eyes burned with fighting spirit .
‘ Blood oath !’
It was a must-have card to build a blood warrior deck, one of the barbarian deck types. The effect is to deal a certain amount of damage to yourself, and increase strength and resistance in proportion to the damage .
‘
I’ve only climbed the 30th floor, but I already got that card .’
The already strong muscles swelled with more anger. Bagratu raised a large axe and swung it in front of Arachnid fiercely and diagonally .
Whoo – Woong, Seo Eok !
“ Kieee !”
One foreleg was neatly cut off. Andrea was honestly amazed. Considering Arachnid’s defensive power, it was because he thought that it would be difficult for even Marco with a hammer to slash his foreleg at once like that .

Nettles – Jaws !
Trisha’s arrow flew towards Arachnid’s ship. Unlike common spiders with soft stomachs, Arachnid’s stomach was as hard as iron armor. An arrowhead that only penetrates the depth of a finger .
‘ Yes, that’s normal …’
Bagratu’s combat power was at an abnormal level. Didn’t you already cut the spider’s leg in half ?
Excited by the heat of battle, the barbarian dug deep inside to split the spider’s head in half. Arachnid turned and pushed back with his hind legs, but Bagratu rolled backwards, got up and charged again .
“ Olaaka Tahu Kasalamic !”
Bagratu shouts the language of the Atala tribe and uses cards. His hands were burning red. Andrea felt a sense of deja vu. Those words just now were the lines Bagratu uttered every time he used that card .
After Bagratu exchanged the ax for a card and retrieved it, he jumped high in front of Arachnid and rode on his back. He reached out his palm toward the countless eggs on his back. As if it were going to explode, the hand became even more red .
Moments later, blood burst from Bagratu’s palm .
Bubbeobung !
A fishy fountain of blood swept across Arachnid’s back. A red mist scattered like the dust after a bomb exploded. Eggs waiting to hatch have become rags .
It was the same skill as the blood explosion, the symbol of a blood warrior .
“ Keee !”
Arachnid was very indignant when all the babies died. He rolled on the floor to crush Bagratu, but Bagratu lightly leaped upward and came down to the floor.
‘··· You have good eyesight. You noticed that if you leave those eggs alone, they’ll hatch .’
Andrea was not alone. The effect of shadow hiding has not yet ended. While Arachnid was confronting Bagratu with red eyes staring at him, Andrea proudly stepped forward and cut off the eye with a sword .
“ Keee !”
If possible, I wanted to cut off all eyes at once, but it was difficult because there were four pairs. Arachnid, who lost some of his sight, began to run wild and go mad .
Andrea stepped back cautiously, and Bagratu also paused for a moment .
‘ At times like this, it would be perfect if I cast slowing or freezing magic .’
Wondering why the priest of the waves didn’t help at all, I suddenly looked up, but I couldn’t see where Julia had gone. Apparently, as soon as Gravel was stepped on, it seemed that he had run away. Andrea let out a big laugh .
‘ Seeing that they caught the monster, don’t be shameless and ask for a reward …?’
I wanted to chase after her right away and feed the chestnut on the forehead of the priestess, but I had to deal with the monster in front of me first .
Trisha continued to shoot arrows, but they didn’t do much damage. Bagratu managed to catch up and swung his ax hard at Arachnid’s ship. However, it was not enough to pierce even the solid durability of the upper .
The moment the ax blade bounced off, Arachnid kicked Bagratu with his hind foot. A barbarian who runs away .
kung- _
Andrea also sneaked up on her a few times and swung her sword, but did no effective damage. Another number was needed to turn the slack situation .
Trisha bit her lip and pulled out a card. One eyebrow slightly rising, a decent number was pulled out .
‘The upper is too hard to shoot into the stomach. If so …’
Arachnid was looking behind Trisha. It was a very suitable environment for a surprise attack. Trisha cautiously approached Arachnid .
‘ Blink fire first .’
Trisha shot an arrow upwards and diagonally at Arachnid. The arrow reached high and hit the opposite wall. Trisha’s figure on the floor disappeared and moved to the point where the arrow hit .
‘ And a diversionary shot .’
Floating in the air, Tricia pulled the bowstring taut again with quick movements of her hands. After holding my breath and aiming closely, the bowstring was finally released. The arrow flew straight into Arachnid’s eye .
Wedge – Puck !
“ Keee !”
When the arrow hit, Arachnid let out another scream of pain .
Besides, Trisha’s shots didn’t stop at blinding. As the resistance decreased due to the containment shot, the Arachnid’s upper skin began to crack .
Andrea shouted at Trisha .
“ Nice job, Trisha !”
“ Ha . . .”
Tricia clung to the wall and slowly descended, while Bagratu slashed the ax at the split belly .
Whoo – uh, Kwajik !
The attack worked well this time. His stomach cracked open and a lot of sticky bodily fluids splattered out. Andrea summoned Marco in the meantime .
“ Mr. Marco, get the hammer .”
“… It’s a mess .”
A blue aura followed Marco’s hand as he handed over the earth crusher’s hammer. Arachnid, who suffered a lot of small and large injuries, noticeably slowed down his actions. The right moment to deliver the final blow .
Marco shouted without hesitation and rushed towards Arachnid .
“ Haaa !”
Kwa-ang !
As the shockwave exploded, Arachnid’s head was distorted. If it was a normal monster, it would have been left alive, but Arachnid randomly scattered spider webs and stirred its limbs, making a last resort .
“ Ehee eh !”
hook –
A blade digging into a split head. Arachnid’s limbs trembled and fell to the side. Andrea put an end to the battle .
Bagratu slowly moved to Andrea’s side. The adrenaline hadn’t subsided yet, and at times he was breathing heavily. Staring at Arachnid, who had turned to porridge, Bagratu asked .
“…is it over ?”
“ Yes, as you can see .”
“… ha ha! Good thing. Then, we only need to rescue the village chief’s daughter .”
Looking up at the ceiling, I could see cocoons through the tattered webs. The flames of the scorching potion faded and the cocoons were unharmed. The cocoon that tied the village chief’s daughter was in the center .
While I was thinking about how to rescue the village chief’s daughter, I suddenly heard a very familiar voice from behind .
“ Ice pick !”
Sharpened ice picks shot out and cut the webs that held the cocoon together. A cocoon that falls straight to the floor .
“ The touch of the waves !”
The water that formed in the air took the shape of a hand and wrapped around the falling cocoon. The hand made of water came down at a slow speed and carefully set the cocoon on the floor. That’s what Julia did .
In the meantime, Gravel, who had been healed and recovered, approached the cocoon first. After pulling out a dagger and tearing the cocoon, Grabel helped the village chief’s daughter. Then, Grabel and Julia naturally headed for the exit .
“ Hey, what are you guys doing right now ?”
With so much to say, everyone at a loss for words, Andrea spoke up. Gravel replied with a smirk, looking back .
“ Isn’t the request not to beat the spider to death, but to rescue the village chief’s daughter? I’m carrying out a request .”
“ Is that what you are saying right now? If I hadn’t killed that spider, would I have been able to save the client’s daughter as easily as picking and eating fruit ?”
“ Yes. Good work. Don’t forget your hard work. That doesn’t change the fact that Julia and I rescued her. Well… even if I can give you some compensation .”
Andrea gently closed her eyes. I could tolerate the bullsh*t I heard before setting off, but this clearly crossed the line. Andrea carefully stretched her hand toward the handle of the knife .
At that time, Bagratu stepped forward .
“ Ha ha ha! hey hey Calm down. Why is it that no one dies and the request is carried out well, and then they wage a useless war of nerves like this ?”
“… Then Mr. Bagratu, are you okay with the current situation ?”
“ Of course not! But there is no need to argue, is there? Gravel, Julia. Would you like to come over here for a moment? I have a good solution .”
Grabel and Julia hesitantly looked at each other, but in the end they had no choice but to approach. Both of them had already seen Bagratu’s overwhelming force .
Bagratu looked down at the two of them with a kind smile. Andrea had doubts. Although Bagratu had a strong sense of justice, he was not a hukou. Was n’t he also an Atala tribe who never forgot grace and resentment ?
At a moment when I couldn’t even guess what solution Bagratu was going to come up with …
Something unexpected happened to no one .
Whoo – uh, jeez, enemy .
It took me a while to figure out what had happened. A neatly cut crimson cross section, two bodies disintegrating like marionettes with broken threads, two heads rolling around on the floor, an ax blade soaked in splattered blood .
Bagratu wiped the blood from his face with the back of his hand .
“ If only two people die like this, the solution will be resolved, so why bother arguing? Ha ha ha !”
