Chapter 272: A Tool (2/2)

”!” Jacob widened his eyes before smirking. ”Understood.”

He moved his giant body toward the designated area and jumped on top of the building near that to observe the ground.

A crack suddenly appeared on the surface as a sign of an incoming monster. Kai wanted him to whack this magical beast to death with his giant hammer, thus calling it 'whack a mole'.

Jacob stood on the edge of the building, ready to jump as soon as the beast showed its head.

A few seconds later, Kai's prediction was right. It might be due to the intensity of his battle or because Kai simply ignored it until the last second. Nonetheless, a small centipede suddenly split the ground open, peeking the surface to help the spider.

Unfortunately, a gorilla with a hammer was already on top of him.

*Bang!* He hit the centipede's head as hard as possible, crushing its head to a mince-meat. ”Got you!”

Kai, on the other hand, had his own hands full with the spider. After pulling itself from a dangerous situation, the spider finally regained ground as it spurted out string toward Tasha.

Tasha teleported herself to the building that Kai destroyed earlier and released another arrow.

Kai kept doing this for two minutes, thinning the leg. And he could finally see blood coming out of it.

”Michelle, keep it up. Just a bit more.”

”I know. I will try to break that leg!”

”How about your magic power?”

”I have used twenty percent. How about you?”

”Around that. Just make sure you are not overdoing it, okay?”

”Don't worry. I know my limit.” Michelle nodded. ”By the way… At this rate, we can't finish our job within thirty minutes, you know.”

”The best is ruining one side. It should be able to stop the spider, but we will see whether the spider has another trick.”

”Yeah. That's what I am talking about. I am afraid we need to at least break six of them.”

”It's easier said than done,” Kai said before glancing to the right.

”Sir!” Jacob suddenly appeared, seeming to have a plan.

”What?”

”Do you know why tools are so f*cking convenient?”

”…” It took him a few seconds before he realized what he actually wanted. ”Ho! It's a good idea. Humanity invented tools because it can help our job, creating a more powerful force than a normal human could exert. We are aiming at my spot.”

”Understood. I shall match your movement.” Jacob nodded. This was a brilliant idea, especially coming from Jacob himself. Him being an elite among elites might not be a coincidence.

Kai then smiled and leaped toward the spider. Tasha released another arrow, forcing the spider to jump up.

”Support! Hit its head!” Kai shouted.

All those magicians immediately released their magic toward its eyes again. Even Drey and Xin chose to support him instead of interfering in his battle.

With this many magic, the Spider decided to not use its string to pull him again, afraid it would ruin himself.

Unfortunately, this was the first step to his demise.

*Boom Boom Boom!* The moment explosions occurred, Tasha calculated the spider's landing spot and teleported the rubbles, trying to bury the spider alive.

*Bam Bam Bam!*

It was Kai's real signal. Everyone thought Kai only wanted Tasha to shoot another arrow, but it turned out he was planning to use the rubble to hit the spider.

This might be the loudest moment, but it was certainly effective. The people were amazed once again by Kai's ability.

”Scree!” When the rubble fell, the spider let out another scream.

Kai finally found his opportunity. He created a tool that looked like a spoon, but the head was a trapezium instead of an oval. It looked like a breaker hammer that was usually used to break asphalt, but this was the desired shape that Kai envisioned.

He placed it on the spot where the leg was thinned and was careful to not let it touch.

Jacob already did his winding up and jumped again before hitting the back of the tool to the best of his ability.

”This is a tool that can destroy the road just by putting a bit of pressure… The spider leg that has been thinned should be…”

*Crack!*

The cracking sound was like a melody in their ears before the leg broke and flew.
