Chapter 45 - 45: Losing Hope

Van's heartbeat grew faster as he realized that no matter how much he tried, he was no match for the Portal Boss He only had a total of 39 SP, and if he was going to use all of it trying to penetrate the armor of web that felt like it was made of steel, then he would surely die

His only option noas to run and try to find out what happened to the 7-Headed Cerberus guild Exiting the Portal was also an option now since the Explorers have arrived, that wouldoutside in case the h the Portal He didn't have to risk his life anyht, Van quickly turned around and ran towards the exit But his steps quickly faltered and his breath asped The doorway that was previously wide open was now blocked by a thick layer of web

"Oh", Van did not even see the arachnaea doing anything with her web, and yet without hi, his path to salvation was already cut off "I'm… dead"

Van ran behind the nearest pillar, in the hopes that the arachnaea couldn't see hi due to the armor of web that covered her entire head And so, with a heavy breath, he turned off his [Time Perception] skill

And as soon as he turned it off, a series of taps and grunting noises echoed throughout the room full of pillars and cobwebs, it would see to find hi', Van whispered in his mind But it was a temporary relief, his problem still remained

Should he s all the crystals he has?

Van was about to get his pouch frorabbed his pouch, he noticed that soht

"!!!"

Did Nisha and the others steal his crystals!? Wait, did they actually leave hi close to hihout Van's mind as he shook his empty pouch

'Fck Fck Fck!', Van could not help grit his teeth Hoould he even defeat so like this with his current level? His speed was useless if the Portal Boss could cover herself with arhtly leaned his head over the pillar, it would seem that even with its human body, the Portal Boss still had the mind of a beast as it didn't try to find Van behind the pillars It justwith every turn

After a few seconds of thinking, Van finally noticed so His foot was previously bound to the arachanaea's sling of web Did… it become loose when she tried to protect herself and summon the web of arulp as he tried to ain However, he quickly shook his head What if that wasn't the case and the arachnaea corners him instead?

What would the 7-Head Cerberus do in this kind of situation? They would probably distract the spider, and before it could even notice them, Nisha would cliht towards the arachne's head

They would probably do soht Van let out a tiny breath, his jaw unknowingly tre fro himself down, he took off his shi+rt and wrapped it around a piece of debris he picked up from the floor He then threw his shi+rt, and as soon as the arachnaea turned her head, he quickly turned on his [Time Perception] skill and rushed behind her from the other side
