Chapter 44 (2/2)
[You have dealt 13,021 damage to the target.]
It was a major explosion. The entire Loch Mountains were shaking. The knights of Windia were blown away by the devastating explosion and I covered my face. The heatwave burned the cobwebs and Kerenos surrounded Edward while shouting to the knights around him, “Protect the lord!”
I thought that this was what it would feel like if a missile fell on my country. The trees around me were already burning and becoming ashes. Ragneos coughed up blood. “Cough! U-Unbelievable! Even though I’ve protected my body with Veil of Darkness...”
Ragneos fell to the ground from the spider queen’s back. He staggered and showed that his health had decreased to one-third. He must’ve been seriously injured... it seemed I didn’t have to worry about him. I asked the spider, “You are the only one left?”
“Shiiiiik!”
The spider queen was curled up from the massive explosion and cried out loudly. Her voice wasn’t lacking at all compared to the sound of the explosion. However, this was just cute to me.
“I wonder what your legs will taste like.”
The spider queen was upset by my ridicule and started waving her forelegs. I dodged lightly, moving closer and kicking angrily at the leg I had failed to attack earlier. The spider queen flinched at the sudden attack. “Shiiiiik!”
...She was definitely stronger than the spider king. She had high defense and a lot of health. Her attack speed and reflexes were a whole different level and her overall stats were at the top. She still had a lot of health left despite the Spider-Man title that gave me 50% additional damage against spiders. Then...
“I’m going to try this.”
At the same time, I jumped. The spider queen’s legs struck down. The ground was split apart from the great damage but I wasn’t there. I was already climbing the spider queen’s forelegs.
“Shiiiiik!!!” The spider queen was angry and waved the opposite leg.
I watched this and smiled. “Sun Road.”
As if an engine was starting, the sun flames at my feet roared, disappearing before growing bigger. The sun that surrounded my feet burned hotter.
[The sun energy has reached 50 points.]
[Movement speed is doubled for 15 seconds.]
[Your footsteps are filled with flames as you walk along the sun’s path.]
There was the sound of a loud explosion and I started to accelerate at a tremendous speed. I was already behind the leg that tried to attack me! The power of the sun energized my heart and it started to pump hot.
[You have inflicted 540 sun damage on the target.]
[You have inflicted 540 sun damage on the target.]
[You have inflicted 540 sun damage on the target.]
[The target is in a ‘burned’ state.]
[You have inflicted 1,080 sun damage on the target.]
[You have inflicted 54 burn damage on the target.]
…
…
Messages started to rise at a tremendous rate. Every time I took a step, I left a pillar of flames that dealt constant fire damage every 0.5 seconds, engulfing the spider queen in a sea of fire.
“Shiiiiik! Shiiiiik!” The spider queen struggled in pain but it was to no avail. She tried to drop me by waving her legs but I was already running on her torso. Sun Road was a skill that allowed me to deal more damage as I moved. It was a skill with a destructive power that varied exponentially depending on the stats of the user. It was only 10 seconds and her health had already been decreased by half.
I was a hell-bound runaway train! If someone asked me if I wanted to ride on such a train, I would’ve said no. I recalled asking Drain a few days ago about an English word to use when I was feeling good. Drain had replied...
“Woohoo—!”
[You have inflicted 1,080 sun damage on the target.]
[You have inflicted 1,080 sun damage on the target.]
[You have inflicted 1,080 sun damage on the target.]
…
…
[Ifrit’s Curse has burned the target’s remaining 5% health.]
[You have inflicted 10,540 burn damage on the target.]
…
…
Finally, there were five seconds remaining and I looked back at the sound of sparks. Behind me was a hell of flames. The spider queen was struggling in the hell of flames and I jumped from the spider queen’s back.
“...Awesome.” It was the best compliment I had learned from my granddaughter.
“Shiiiiik...! Shiiiiik!” The spider queen was still dancing among the flames that hadn’t gone out. Her health continued to be reduced. 50%, then to 40%. 30%. 20%. Finally, it reached 10%. This power was devastating. Then all the flames gradually went away and I walked toward the burning spider queen.
“For the time being, I’ll make a spider side dish.”
