“Just stay still. I’ll free you soon.”
With a swing of his sword, Weed severed the spider webs that had immobilized the bodies of the party members in midair.
Although they had been lowered to the ground, there wasn’t a chance for them to regain their senses.
Weed continually swung his sword and cut away the heaps of spider webs that clung to their bodies. He was removing the thin silk on people’s bodies by swinging his sword.
Although it was hard to believe, it really happened.
As even the silk covering their faces was peeled away, they could see a dignified Dwarf of muscular stature standing before them. It was a Dwarf holding a sword that looked longer than his body.
Every time the Dwarf swung the sword, the silk on his colleagues was peeled away.
It could only be described as sword skill that verged on the miraculous.
Hegel asked with a hint of disbelief in his voice, “Is it really Weed-hyung?”
His mind was still muddled and his thoughts were in a disarray. Even so, since Weed had appeared and saved them while they were totally helpless, he felt grateful.
But just then, a huge lump of rock came rolling into the passage entrance.
It destroyed part of the passage, and once again blocked their escape.
“Weed-hyung, what about that rock?”
“Seems like it’s the trap I triggered.”
“We’re screwed! What did you come in here to do. Hyung.”
There was no time to even be relieved at receiving salvation.
The spiders that had withdrawn swarmed and crawled out of small holes in the ceiling and walls. Simultaneously, spider silk descended upon them like a curtain and completely enveloped the whole area.
A unique attack that rendered the body completely immobile like a mummy had begun.
Weed extended both arms.
“Thread winding!”
An Intermediate Sewing skill.
The technique for acquiring additional materials!
A technique that wound the spiders’ freshly spewed silk and made skeins.
The silk extracted from the spiders was wound into a sphere, sealed with cloth, and was being loaded into Weed’s backpack.
Hisss hisss hissssss!
Since their silk didn’t have any effect, the spiders made threatening noises and crawled down on their silk. However, Weed didn’t bat an eyelid.
A lot of strength was loaded into the Dwarf’s short and thick thighs. Right before his calves were about to burst!
The spiders chose the wrong time.
He was covered in wounds from breaking the boulder and his clothes were also considerably crumpled, but that was no problem.
“Sword Dance!”
The fourth of the Imperial Formless Sword Technique.
Weed’s movements became like flowing water. Sword Dance was a skill that added explosive power to the truly dance-like movements.
All the spiders that touched his sword was blown away. Each and every one, without end.
As the sword flowed on without stopping, the power of the skill was reaching its peak..
The sword that weaved forcefully and lithely between the spiders!
Although the sight of him stepping forward with short legs and swinging his long sword was amusing, it was impossible to laugh while watching his great power.
Weed was effortlessly swinging his sword as he leapt between the spider webs. The sticky and elastic spider webs were cut away like rotten string.
“Move. I don’t have time to waste on the likes of you!”
With the exception of the paralysis and spider webs, the small spiders weren’t threatening.
The Sculpting Blade that demolished the enemy’s defensive abilities. Thanks to the Blade’s special characteristic, the spider webs couldn’t do him much harm, and thanks to his Tailoring skill, he was even collecting spider thread at the same time.
Weed, who broke through the small spider swarm, faced off with the Elfin Queen Spider.
A powerful monster with a level in the late 380s!
Big hairs were heavily forested on its twelve legs, and the head portion was incomparably terrifying and grotesque.
It was this monster that forced Nide to give up resisting and left him to despair after confirming its stats.
However, Weed’s bounding steps became even faster.
“Don’t block me. I’ve gotta recover my expenses!”
He had increased his strength with Sculptural Destruction, and a Fine piece at that.
It was the Weed who even ordinarily despised piffling around while hunting, so in a time like this, he had to go completely crazy with hunting. If only for the sake of extracting the expense of the lost Fame and Art stat, there was no time to delay.
Then, the Elfin Queen Spider turned around and began to hastily scurry away.
*Scuttle scuttle scuuuttle.* (Sound of Spider Queen running away)
It wasn’t that it was funny just because it was a spider, but its fleeing speed was terrifyingly fast.
The spider, which took to fear especially well, characteristically chose to run away rather fight. Even if a prey other than Weed were to appear, it would initially flee if the prey tried to resist. Facing the prey after waiting until the prey had completely drained of strength was the Elfin Queen Spider’s method.
Even as it did so, it moved towards the opposite side of the passage as it spewed forth spider silk that was thicker than a forearm.
“Kaiser Sword!”
Weed used the mana he had left to fall back on his most powerful attack.
He swiftly pierced the vital point of the Elfin Queen Spider, the rear point where the spider thread came out.
- You have delivered a critical hit.
The Kaiser Sword that had its power maximized through Sculptural Destruction!
The horrible destructive power that equaled the ultimate attack skill of the Magicians, Mana Burn.
The Elfin Queen Spider’s huge body trembled.
*Claaaaang!*
An explosion, flash, and tremor even greater than when he broke through the boulder that was blocking the passage burst out.
The best that Hegel and the group members could do was to crouch down and block their ears. However, the explosions and light didn’t stop with that.
“Kaiser Sword, Kaiser Sword, Kaiser Sword!”
The final form of the Imperial Formless Sword Technique that he used even by consuming his own Health and Stamina after his Mana had run out completely!
He was hunting the Elfin Queen Spider relentlessly through the barrage of Kaiser Sword.
- You have delivered a critical hit.
29% additional damage.
- You have delivered a critical hit.
47% additional damage.
- You have delivered a critical hit.
82% additional damage.
- You have delivered a critical hit.
114% additional damage.
This was the reappearance of the single point attack technique– all those attacks were bombarded on a single point!
He was attacking a precise point through the invocation of an extremely difficult skill while mindlessly chasing the rapidly fleeing Elfin Queen Spider.
Although Hegel and the others weren’t able to see it because they had their heads ducked down, the attack technique that Weed was currently demonstrating could be called the strongest attack.
The damage that increased through Kaiser Sword with Sculptural Destruction and his Sword Grinding skill. All of this attack power was applied to the single point attack technique.
With its exponentially decreasing Health and increasing injuries, the Elfin Queen Spider’s movement speed was markedly diminished.
It might have tried resisting if it had the strength since escape had become impossible, but in the face of such incredible damage, it staggered a few steps forward and then died.
The Elfin Queen Spider’s body turned to grey light, and from it poured out sapphires the size of duck eggs and a waist-high pile of relics and gold coins.
Weed collected the loot with lightning speed.
“Wahhh, although he said he was a Sculptor…” Hegel moaned as he clutched his head.
It was as if his mind had gone dumb; Hegel couldn’t think. Though he said he was a Sculptor, what the hell did it mean that he could collect spider silk as Sewing materials.
