Chapter 235 - Ominous Charms Part Two (2/2)

His heart filled with apprehension toward the dangerous creature still didn't force him to turn back. The more he basked in fear; the more courage was birthed in his heart. A strange paradox that forced him to step forward once again with determination.

Then, as his body was close to the other beast near the deadly spider, he was noticed, and they darted toward him in a maddened rush.

Soldier's Fortune glinted under the warm light from the sun, and he stood his ground while waiting for their approach. His heart beat in a maddened pace, but he regulated his thought with a few breaths. Then as he was ready to cut the first beast that approached him, he saw something that made his heart constrict, and his face turned a pale white.

”What the fuck?”, he nearly screamed loudly while taking down the beast in front of him at the same time. He moved his hand instinctively to slay another creature, but his blade only slashed through the air and didn't make contact with any flesh. His shock didn't come from that, but from what had appeared in his vision.

In front of his surprised eyes, there were no longer any beasts around the humongous spider. He took a few steps back before finally calming down, and his head rose toward the top part of the spider-shaped creature. He noticed multiple purple tentacle-like tendrils.

”Those were its own food…”, he thought before taking another step back with heavy apprehension flashing on his face. ”This shit is even worse than I thought… Those lightning-fast tentacles only appeared in my sight for a second before the twenty beasts disappeared as if they never existed.”

He backed away another dozen of meters with an unsightly expression. And only when he stood further than thirty-meter from the creature did he feel safe enough to think about a plan. His bodily resource had fallen short, and he didn't have the strength to execute flashy movement techniques while thinking about how to defeat his opponent. He couldn't take the risk of dying against the humongous beast, he didn't dare to.

”The main problem lay in its weak point is safe due to the height of its legs. Those tentacle-like tendrils seem to have quite the big range….”, the further he took the uglier his expression turned. ”And if I start climbing on its leg, the probability of it noticing me is nearly one hundred percent…”

He glanced at the head of the spider-shaped creature, and saw the creature finish its meal with one last bite. Each of its purple tentacles had been grabbing a few beasts; he counted each of them, and before long knew that the creature was armed with twelve purple tendrils.

”Their length is still unknown, but it seems that this creature isn't the proactive type.”, his amber-colored eyes glanced at the black colored pillar-like legs. ”Fuck it… It's decided, I'm taking down those legs. That's the only way for me to take care of this creature safely!, killing intent flashed in his amber colored pupil.
