Chapter 137 Volume III - Chapter 58: Mutant Spider's Chase

*(A/N: Sorry, I published this chapter accidentally. That's why there will be 1 chapter at the normal update time, not 2.)*

"Kieeeek!"

As Alex and I flew over it, the giant spider let out a loud angry scream and opened its mouth slightly. Then it opened its mouth so wide that both Alex's and my eyes widened. A huge, really huge, green liquid shot out of the creature's mouth toward us.

The liquid, acid, or whatever it was, was so fast that I had no time to avoid it. So I did the first thing that came to my mind and tried to create a Mana Barrier to surround us.

My mana was quickly withdrawn from my body. I imagined the skill in my mind and suddenly there was a colorless, transparent, and spherical structure surrounding me.

The green liquid hit the barrier and then began to fall back down to the ground, literally covering us. It was so strong, though, that the barrier couldn't hold out for long and quickly melted away, followed by the green liquid.

"Kiiieeeeeeek!!!"

The spider screamed once more and started running at us again. Meanwhile, we kept falling and finally made contact with the ground, but of course, we had no time to stop.

"Run Alex! Don't stop!"

We started going back the way we came, seeing the same trees, the same landscape. We kept feeling the same breath of the spider, the same presence of the forest that was afraid of it. Meanwhile, I checked my mana.

Since the wind was blowing fiercely right behind us, with the help of Sith, I had used only thirty percent of my mana. So I have seventy percent left... I think it will be enough.

I started spinning almost all of my mana inside of me.

"How... the he- hell... i- is it so... fast!"

Alex was out of breath as he ran, but he still expressed his hatred. And I answered him without thinking.

"How the fuck should I know! Just keep running!"

"KIIIEEEEEEEEEKK!!!"

After that roar, the forest trembled all over, as if it was afraid of the spider as a whole. Then I heard running steps coming from my left side and my brain stopped working for a moment.

Wasn't Alex on my right side?

My eyes quickly darted to my left and the shock almost caused me to stumble. Next to us was an apin, who, like us, had fled to avoid becoming a target for the spider.

An apin that only a few hours before had been trying to kill us with its kin, was now fleeing from a common enemy.

The apin looked at me for a moment. There was not a trace of hunger or hostility in its eyes. There was only fear, fear of being eaten alive. Fear of becoming prey when it was a hunter. It was such a fear that it could make such an expression in front of those it considered its prey.

As I ran, never losing my speed, I swung hard into the apin's face. I felt its teeth shatter in my fist, I had hit it really hard that the apin suddenly stumbled. Its eyes glazed over as if it had fainted and its body was thrown back by the force of my attack. It flew straight at the huge spider, but the spider didn't even take it seriously.

"KIIIIIIEEEKK!"

As if apin was a fly, the spider's body literally tore him apart. The spider didn't even slow down a bit, in fact, it suddenly sped up as if it was a bit angry.

I had hoped it would be distracted by the apin or something, but this maniac is obsessed with us!

So, I kept running a little bit more. And after some time, I could finally see the cliff that we had crossed a while ago.

"We can't run any further, Aiden!"

"I know!"

"What? What do you mean you know?!"

"Trust me! You don't have a choice anyway!"

I could have sworn Alex's face fell, but I didn't have time to think, I had to be fast.

When we approached the cliff like this, there were no more than six meters between us and the spider. I only had seconds, even milliseconds to do what I wanted to do.

Alex shouted at me. I heard words I couldn't understand, but I didn't care and pushed him with all my strength.

Alex was thrown back a few meters. He even flipped in the air, but he landed on the ground without much damage to himself.

Wasting no time, I turned back to the spider. I activated the Mana Barrier first, and a transparent, colorless barrier materialized in front of me. Then I broke a few of the dimensional buttons that held my spare swords and several swords appeared in the air.

I quickly grabbed two of them and filled them with the mana that I had been swirling around inside me. The wild mana moved toward the swords, and the swords began to tremble as they could no longer handle the excessive wild mana that was building up in my hands. Then I threw them right at the spider's legs.

There were only three meters between us when this happened, and a green liquid was coming toward me with only one meter between me and it, maybe even less.

I held the barrier I had created in front of me. The green liquid hit it and dissolved it instantly, but it also lost all its strength. So, it fell to the ground in front of me and began to bubble and sink into the snow.

The swords flew at the spider with tremendous speed, but I didn't wait for them to reach it. I grabbed two more of the swords that were still in the air, that hadn't fallen to the ground, and I did the same and threw them at the spider.

The first swords I threw reached the spider. The spider simply smashed them with its forelegs, but as it did so, the wild mana inside the swords exploded.

The wild mana that was suddenly released covered the spider's body. The spider screamed in pain and tried to stop itself, but just then the other swords I threw reached it.

Since the spider could not defend itself, these swords went straight through its body and the spider roared. Its skin looked a little burnt from the mana explosion that had just happened, adding to its disgustingness and obviously affecting it, but that was it. My action had done no more than slow it down, maybe injure it a little, and leave a mark on its skin. But that was it.

The spider was angry, very angry, and kept coming at me.

The distance between us dropped to two meters. I grabbed the other two swords as they were about to fall to the ground and attacked the spider with the sword in my left hand.

The spider drooled all over me. Its claws swung at me with great fury. I had no time to dodge it, it was too fast. That's why I attacked it. I had no choice but to use the attack as a defense.

My sword and the spider's front leg, which looked like a sharp knife, collided. I felt a tremendous force bearing down on me, the sword cracked, the mana inside leaking out. The force was so sudden that I felt like my arm was broken, but I smiled.

The ugly face of the spider was right in front of me, not even a meter between us, and I let myself fall off the cliff.

The spider hadn't stopped itself when it had just lunged at me. So its shadow passed over me as I began to float down the cliff.

Without waiting, I threw the cracked sword in my hand under the spider, stabbed the sword in my other hand into the ice chunks next to me, and put my feet against the wall to slow my fall.

It wasn't hard to stop, and I hadn't been falling for long when I quickly turned back to the spider.

The sword I threw at it went straight through its abdomen at that very moment, and the spider screamed furiously. Its head turned up and down, but just then its voice suddenly stopped. It stopped moving for a moment, as if it had just realized where it was, that it was no longer connected to the ground, and there was silence as its voice echoed across the cliff.

Then the spider's body was suddenly bathed in a brilliant light, and a sound even louder than its roar pierced my ears.

The sword, extremely ferocious, filled with mana that I had charged almost thirty percent of the mana in my body with, exploded in the spider's abdomen. Its fragments scattered like fireworks.

It was a sight that would have made someone like me, who did not possess the Absolute Mind, vomit, but I didn't care.

I noticed a piece flying through the air, moving away from me.

It was one of the spider's eyes, looking at me. It didn't matter if it was alive or not, that eye seemed to be following me specifically, even though it was separated from its body, and I swallowed.

The spider's eye, along with its other parts, fell down along the cliff. I stared at it until they disappeared and it stared back at me. It looked as if it could pierce me with its gaze, but after it disappeared, I slowly erased that thought from my mind.

There was no reason for me to be afraid of a dead creature... at least not right now.

A few seconds later, there was a loud sound that echoed across the cliff. Followed by a final, slowly fading scream.

<<------------------------------

Congratulations! You killed the Mutant Frost Spider, a mini-boss, without even taking damage!

Your reward will be added to the rewards you will receive for completing the dungeon.

------------------------------>>

With the screen suddenly appearing in front of me, I was sure that the spider was dead, and I was completely reassured.

"Haa..."

I took a deep breath, relaxed myself, and prepared to go to the top, but the moment I moved my body, a sharp pain shot through my whole body. It was such a strain on my body to instantly expel all that wild mana out of my body that I started to feel dizzy from the pain. I almost let go of the sword on the wall, unable to hold it properly, but with the help of the Absolute Mind, I forced myself to do so.

Ignoring the notification message, I turned around and slowly started to climb upward. It was not easy because of the pain I felt in my body, I even felt like falling a few times, but I managed to stay on the wall and, finally, I was close to the top.

Then I realized that a head was looking down from the slope above me, looking toward me.

"Aiden! Come a little closer, I can't reach you."

I gritted my teeth and lifted myself up a little higher, then let go of my hand and quickly tried to grab Alex's hand. I succeeded.

The sword fell out of my hand when I couldn't grasp it in my other hand, but with Alex's help, I managed to climb up. The moment I did that, I let myself drop onto the heavy snow.

Although I couldn't feel cold because I was a wiera, the chill penetrated my body, but I didn't care. In fact, I was glad it happened because it felt like the pain was lessening.

It was a comforting coolness.

"A- Alex... Find a safe place..."

After those words I managed to utter, my eyes closed by themselves and the last thing I heard was Alex's anxious 'okay'.
