Chapter 235 - Ominous Charms Part Two (1/2)
”Crap, that was close…”, he said with a long sigh. His hand moved, and he managed to extirpate his body from the mass of the dead creature. When he finally crawled from under the mountain of creatures, a gasp escaped from his lips, and he couldn't help but be smitten by the artifact's work.
”You're quite strong, aren't you?”, he exclaimed with a smile while gazing at the tiny sword. It quietly hovered in the air and seemed to have lost its early frenzy. ”Get back home.”, he succinctly ordered, and the sword turned into a ray of light that flew inside of his mouth.
He couldn't help but let a satisfied sigh escaped from his lips. His vision then focused on the mass of mangled and dilapidated corpse that laid under him. ”What a mess…”, he thought before looking left and right.
He noticed that the number of beasts in the zone of the spider had drastically reduced. And apart from a few twenty creatures that stood nearby the gigantic spider, the rest had all rushed to his position and had tried to kill him by turning him flat.
”I guess they are a few bright side to what happened…”. he said with a self-deprecating smile before jumping away from the mountain of crushed corpses. The beasts had piled into a ridiculous small mountain of dozens of meters of height.
When he landed on the fresh mud, he couldn't help but turn around and whistle in morbid admiration.
”No wonder I felt like I was going to exhale my last breath.”, he exclaimed while moving his head left and right in a surreal manner. ”Thankfully, Little One had been there. Or else, It would have been my death place.”, he said before kicking the corpse of a beast that was in front of him.
Little One was the name he had given to the small artifact. One due to the object being Fell's first magical artifact, and was another show of Fell's bad naming senses.
”Time to take care of the crux of the problem.”, he said while massaging his stiff shoulders. He began approaching the gargantuan spider while circling around its position. He tried avoiding the numerous invisible thread in his passage but had been obliged to cut a few that couldn't be evaded.
As soon as his blade cut the thick ephemeral cable, he felt another cold sensation calmly brush the back of his neck. ”Fuck it. As if I care if it knows where I am.”, he said before stopping his current plan of attacking the spider with a surprise attack.
The body of the creature turned imposing the further Fell approached it. When he entered a range of thirty meters, the fierce spider had turned into a towering construct where he couldn't even see the top part. He swallowed his saliva with difficulty and ignored the palpitation in his heart before stepping forward.
