Chapter 40 - 40: 1 Hour Before

An hour before the 7-Head Cerberus guild met Van

"This… can still be considered as fun, right?"

Van could not help but lightly whisper as he let out his tired breath He then took a huge gulp as he looked at the three newly arrived spiders that were now larger than hihtly stepped backward, it would seem that they haven't noticed him yet

Should he… make a run for it?

No! Van quickly shook his head He has made it this far, he was sure he can take it This was the best chance to strike, while the 3 spiders were still unaware of him

And so, he quickly activated [Time Perception] and rushed towards the three, his eyes sparkling in gold and filled with excitement His excitement, however, was instantly washed down as soon as his weapon made contact with the spider's body Van felt it penetrate, but only by an inch before the gaff soon bent And then, as he couldn't stop his aff continued to bend until it snapped in half

"!!!"

The part that was still attached to hiash, "Gah!"

Van quickly backed away as he deactivated [Time Perception] But as soon as he did so, a spider ran towards him He quickly moved to the side, but due to his [Ti activated, he alhtly sla instantly became erratic as he stared at the three spiders that clearly wanted to eat him

'Calm down, calm down', he tried to convince himself Since his weapon was already broken, then there was no sha away Maybe help was already on its way?

No… he doesn't knoill happen once he escapes the Portal For all he knows, oes out, they will all coht He ash, he ain, he activated his [Time Perception] skill and ran towards the other half of his broken weapon He quickly grabbed it, holding it with his right arm as he couldn't move his left anymore

He only had one option now, their eyes He was sure that even if their bodies were already too hard to be pierced by the gaff, their eyes would remain soft-- it was the saht assuring him, he ran towards the nearest spider

And to his expectations, the pointed steel easily inserted itself through the spider-huaff out, it was sadly, already attached too firh, he swiftly backed away and turned off his skills to see if his strike was effective

And as soon as he deactivated his speed, a loud shrill reverberated across the cave, "This…", Van could not help but shi+ver as the screams pierced his ears The s on the ground So he was slightly taken aback by the spider's human-like roar

He was about to activate his skills again to try and retrieve the gaff from the spider's eyes, however, before he could even do so, he felt a tinge of pain in his leg

"!!!", Van quickly looked below hih his leg Van activated his skills as soon as he saw this The [Ti worse, as he could feel his skin and flesh slowly being ruptured as he tried to push his leg forward

And with a blink, he ran ahile at superspeed, unfortunately, the pain on his leg was too doll that was thrown straight to the ground

"Sshi+t", he could not help but let out a breath as he felt his whole body aching He tried going into his super-speed again, but his focus was completely overwhelmed by the pain that covered his entire body

The chittering of the spiders grew louder as they got nearer to him He had no choice but to activate his [Tio into his superspeedall over his body, but alas, if he turned it off, then the spider would quickly devour him into pieces

To the spiders, he looked as if he was vibrating as his superspeed fluctuated The spiders saw this as a moment of weakness, and so the two quickly rushed towards hih his body that looked like it was rippling, he vanished
