236 – 226.New Journey-4
Seeing the other side of the world I didn’t want to know about, I tried to leave without even looking at it.
However, the angry man’s cries were so loud that he finally pulled them out of the pit.
“I could have been better off not knowing anything… ….”
As the rescued man later found out what condition his lower body was in, she fell asleep.
I don’t know if it’s because the pleasure of the past went in at once as the paralysis poison was released, but there was no loyalty to take care of her man who had lost her mind.
I returned the spider to the pit as appropriate and filled it up.
“Hmm? Is there something on my face?”
“Sir, sorry! I thought the teacher would kill the spider. However, I was a bit surprised to see him release it casually.”
“Aha, honestly, I thought about killing him, but I don’t know what will happen if I kill him carelessly.”
In addition to the pit the man fell into, as confirmed by the detection magic, a number of pits were detected.
Even if you estimate the number of spiders hunting for food there, the number exceeds 100.
It wasn’t strange at all if the spiders came out in swarms to take revenge if they recklessly killed their own people in such a situation.
“Our goal is to get out of the bamboo grove and head to the next village. I can’t afford to fight spiders and rescue missing people.”
“It’s unfortunate, but we can’t help it because our situation isn’t good either.”
“Um… ….”
“Lin? Do you want me to save people?”
“Ah! No! I have no intention of arguing about the teacher’s decision. There was just one part that was unclear, so I thought about it deeply.”
“If it’s not a secret that’s hard to tell, don’t keep it in your heart and tell me as much as you like. Because that way is also comforting for me.”
“Then I will speak without reserve. It is common for protein spiders to build traps by digging sand or soil and wait for their prey. However, I remember that there was a certain behavior that it showed every time a favorite prey appeared.”
“What is that?”
“They spew webs out of the pit and make the surroundings their territory. And then the hunt begins.”
As soon as the words were finished, yellow-brown spiders crawled out of the cleverly covered ground.
Spiders gathered so crowded that the green forest looked like a vast wilderness.
They spewed spider webs and dyed the surrounding area white.
The action matched Rin’s description to the point of giving goosebumps.
“…… Does this mean we liked it?”
“If my guess is correct, they are probably targeting the teacher. The protein spider likes creatures with good protein sources the most, and the teacher…….”
Rin and Rene simultaneously lowered their gazes and looked down at my crotch.
It was only then that I realized the situation.
What kind of food do large numbers of spiders fantasize about?
“Wouldn’t it be better to run away quickly?”
“It won’t be easy. Protein Spiders are nicknamed ‘relentless hunters’.”
The spiders all turned towards me.
The glittering black eyes were slowly turning red and becoming ferocious.
It wouldn’t be strange if I rushed right away.
“Is there any way to get rid of spiders other than running away?”
“There are two.”
“What is it?”
“One is to annihilate the spiders, and the other is to find and subdue the boss. As protein spiders do group activities, there must be a leader who leads them.”
“Then it’s simple. I will be the bait, so in the meantime, you guys find the leader and capture him.”
“Leave it to me!”
From noble mtl dot com
Renee pounded her own chest and elated her.
Belief that I will do well, I turned my back and started running, and at the same time, the spiders started following me all at once.
It was disgusting to see hundreds of giant spiders rushing all at once.
Determining not to look back, I moved my legs vigorously.
I ran relentlessly between the bamboo trees, waiting for the work I entrusted to Rin and Renee to be finished.
[Contractor. In the end, I ended up being chased by spiders, so why didn’t I just annihilate the spiders?]
“The reason is simple, it should feel artificial in the current situation.”
[Why do you think so?]
“Look at the color of the spiders, tan, right? It has fur, and its appearance is similar to that of a scorpion.”
[Is there a problem with that?]
There was an entity in my world that looked similar except for its size and the ability to produce paralyzing poison and spider webs.
It looked like a guy commonly called a camel spider.
And the camel spider’s habitat is not a bamboo forest…….
“It resembles the characteristics of spiders living in the desert.”
[Desert?]
“Ah, the desert is not in the east, only in the west.”
[Did Ignit release the protein spider into this bamboo grove?]
“Crucially, the ghost story of the bamboo forest I heard at the tavern is also a rumor that has appeared recently.”
[The more I listen, the more I feel that this is someone’s trick.]
“It is highly likely that Ignit did it.”
It’s still too early to be certain, but all the circumstances at the moment point to Ignit’s handiwork.
We plan to investigate the spiders in detail after the current situation is over in order to collect definitive evidence.
“Mr Bern!”
In the midst of reasonable doubt, I heard Renee’s voice from far away.
Have you already subdued the boss?
I had a glimmer of hope, but it didn’t take long for my impression to wrinkle.
“I’m in trouble!”
“What’s up?”
“I found an entity that appeared to be the leader of the spiders, but it was already dead!”
“What… ?”
The boss who exists to command and control all entities has died.
In other words, it means that the spiders are currently driven only by instinct, and there is no way to stop their rampage other than annihilation.
If they were killed carelessly, it could cause problems in the work of confirming that it was Ignit’s plan.
“Did you remove the spiders’ control measures from the beginning and let them go… !”
For a while, I felt anger at the thought of being tricked into a shallow trick.
I calmly spoke to Prach.
“Prach, do you have any abilities that allow you to subdue the enemy without killing it?”
[Unfortunately, this body does not have such a function as it is a demonic sword for more efficient repulsion and killing.]
“Okay… ! If that’s the case, then there’s no choice but to kill them.”
[If you forget me… Trouble.]
While my bones were rotting in a difficult situation, another voice flowed into my head.
Unlike Prach, it was Solis, a demonic sword with a quiet voice.
[Ability that my husband wants…. I have it.]
“Really?”
[Yes, pick me up.]
[Oh! Are you saying you want to leave this body and have an affair with another sword!]
“It can’t be helped!”
[Eight! This incest sword! I will quickly become one with this body!]
[I hate it.]
[If you and this body’s strength are combined, it will surely become the world’s strongest demonic sword! Why are you giving up that opportunity?]
[Combined with the lady….My overwhelming loss.]
[Ah, a lady?!]
“Arguments later! And stop fighting madly in my head!”
I sighed and took out the demonic sword on the opposite side of Prach.
A brilliant golden sword that was burdensome with an unfamiliar grip, but right now it was not the situation to cover this and that.
“I picked it. What should I do now?”
[You can cut all the spiders……. ]
“Then won’t everyone die?”
[It’s not……. Trust me.]
“Yes. Right now, there is no other good thing, so I have to believe!”
I turned my body 180 degrees and ran towards the spiders that were chasing me.
As the fleeing prey suddenly charged, the spiders in the lead showed panic.
Aiming for that gap, I slashed the spider in the forefront with a single blow.
“Kikiiik?!”
I aimed at the center of the spider and cut it in half exactly.
However, to my surprise, the spider I thought I had cut was alive and well. Instead, Protein Spider groaned and fell over.
The next spider that was cut also showed the same symptoms even though it was stabbed with the tip of his knife.
“Oh! Isn’t that bad?”
[Ceremonial cutting…. The power to cut through the mind, not the body of the object.]
“I thought he wouldn’t have the ability to kill because he insisted on killing the swordsman.”
[For the supply of test subjects… ability.]
“I think I know what the Magic Tower Master was thinking when he instilled this ability into you.”
It was a function created to be used as a test subject rather than just killing the prosecutor.
Thanks to that, I was able to solve the situation more easily, but the more I used my ability, the more uncomfortable I felt.
But for now, he suppressed his personal feelings and swung his sword.
“End with this!”
“Kikiiik!”
Cut off all the spiders’ consciousness while slicing down the last one.
I caught my breath and looked back the way I had come.
Seeing the desert spiders scattered across the bamboo forest, the sense of alienation intensified.
No matter how you look at it, it didn’t look like a spider that would live in a bamboo grove.
“Are you okay? I’m sorry I couldn’t help earlier!”
“I’m fine. Is it true that the boss was dead?”
“Yes! I went into the pit where the boss lives and saw it with my own two eyes.”
“I see. By the way, where is Rin?”
“That’s why I found a secret passage leading somewhere in the pit of the boss. Then Lynn told me to report this to Vern, and she went into the aisle without any hesitation.”
“Can you take me there right now?”
“Of course! Follow me!”
A completely unexpected presence and attack of spiders.
There seemed to be a clever plot hidden in the process, so this trip didn’t go easily either.
