Chapter 267: The Battlefield (1/2)

”And with this, I shall bring the spider down with your help.” Kai smiled.

”Hoh?! Still, I don't think your job will change even with that…” Ria shrugged. ”Just cut those strings first, so we can fight this spider on the ground.”

Kai also understood that and nodded his head. ”Alright. I will be able to handle it faster.”

”Good!” Ria smirked as she leaped to the spider again.

”Ugh! I am still feeling a bit weird with you inside me.” Kai said inwardly.

”Your word choice… Anyway, do you think I don't feel it's weird? Ugh, the stick in the pants… I can feel what you feel when I am in this state, you know.” Michelle also complained.

”Luckily, I don't share your feelings because my shoulder will soon become stiff if that were the case.” Kai chuckled.

”Nevertheless, you said it despite being enamored by it.”

”…” Kai had two choices. Told her that Tasha has bigger ones or lied that he was a butt-guy or a justice thighs lover. Either way, he would end up getting beaten by Michelle after this. Hence, he simply ignored her and asked, ”What are we going to do with this?”

”Changing the topic, eh? Never mind then. Still, it's weird since I can't hear a single thing except feeling the pain from your ears.”

”I am also clueless about my ears, and I apologize for the pain.”

”It's fine. I can endure the pain, but the curiosity is killing me.”

”Ahaha… I think it's better for you to not hear what I can.” Kai shook his head.

”Alright. Let's get into the business then.” Michelle let out a sigh and looked upward. ”Leap toward one of the strings. I will give you something to hang on, so you can cut them more effectively.”

”Alright.” Kai nodded. Although he didn't know what kind of thing she would make, he trusted her, especially after training with her in this state for a few days.

Kai leaped toward the string directly, but before he touched it, a dark aura covered his hand, slowly forming a claw-like thing.

He took a glimpse of it and understood what Michelle wanted to do, so he raised his hand toward the string. The claw-like thing flew out of his hand before entangling with the string. It turned out to be a grappling hook made of Michelle's Shadow Magic.

With this, the distance between him and the string wouldn't be a problem, and he didn't need any more footing.

Kai immediately used his Sword to slowly cut the string. Fortunately, the string was pretty solid, giving him a nice base to hang on.

He cut the string completely before they started falling. Michelle made another grappling hook so he could attach to another string as the other one disappeared.

It was at this moment the spider noticed what was happening and considered Kai as a threat. It immediately turned around and spat out more string that should be released from its other end.

It took Ria by surprise as well, but Kai could hear the movement inside the spider's body and knew the spider wanted to do something with its mouth.

As soon as the string came out, Kai created a huge Sound Blast to blow the web away.

”Why did you use Sound Blast instead of your Oscillation Shield?”

”I don't know what would happen when it stuck to my shield. Rather than worrying about it, It's better to blast it away.” Kai shrugged while cutting the string in front of him. ”Anyway, let's make this fast.”

”Yes.”

Just like that, the duo started cutting the strings one by one. The spider tried to attack them again, but Ria ensured it wouldn't happen again. Although she couldn't hurt the spider, she still did a very good job of distracting it.

Finally, after several minutes, he finished his job. The string fell down to the ground together with the spider.

Michelle also retracted the shadow, and Kai landed on the ground.

However, they couldn't do a single thing before Kai heard the footsteps of many magical beasts. It didn't come from the South where the army engaged the scientist or the west where Ethan had a defensive battle. It came from the opposite direction, the east.

”It seems our prediction is correct. They have come.” Kai said while glancing at the sky in the east direction.
