Creation System: Reborn As A Fantasy Worldsmith



With this, the three left the white-haired dwarf's workshop and began heading toward the direction that was told to them, which was "Go south into the village until you see a separate exit than the one you came in from. There, you will eventually come across a fork in the path with signs. From there on, all you have to do is go into the one that says "Poison Spider Next (Beware!)" and you should be alright. However, once you are right at the end of the nest, you will be given another choice. Instead of going into the Poison Spider's actual nest, take a right."

As they walked, Alten swung his arms around in defeat and exhaustion, "This journey never seems to end... I hope that dwarf wasn't just bluffing like the rest of em!" He exclaimed.

After walking south for a while, they arrived at the edge of the village where another gate made of brown metal was located. After walking through, they were greeted by some dwarf guards and went on their way.

Before long, they made it to an opening that revealed a larger cave pathway, and after walking on it for only 10 or so minutes, they arrived at the fork in the road that the white-haired dwarf talked about.

"Well... here it is," Alten said as he saw the sign.

"The other one leads to the main cavern system it seems." Leon added, seeing that on the other sign was written, "Main Cave System."

Lyrian walked into the left pathway, the Poison Spider's nest, "Let's not waste time." He said, prompting the other two to begin walking behind him.

As they walked in the new cave pathway that was 20 by 20 feet with some random larger openings that were wider, the silence around them seemed to become louder with anticipation. They didn't know what to expect, but from Alten's description of the Poison Spider, one of the few candidates of his that could be the golden-tiered creature, they had their guards up indefinitely.

Before long, several spider webs began to show themselves spread around, and after 10 minutes of walking, the gray, stone walls of the cave began to change into a radioactive green that glew a luminescence in the dark, lighting up the place.

There were also several smaller forks within the cave now, as it expanded into an amalgamation of pillars and stalactites, with thick spiderwebs covering every millimeter of the area.

"We haven't seen any spiders yet, so that's a relief," Alten said, noticing that although there were webs, there were yet to be any spiders.

"And it looks like that dwarf wasn't lying. Although there are smaller pathways that break out from the main one, getting to the heart of the nest shouldn't be difficult considering there is a clear main path." Lyrian added.

*Skeeeu*

A web suddenly shot out of nowhere and landed on Leon's back, instantly pulling his shoulder blades back as his hands were restricted, "What the hell?" He said, forcefully tearing the webs off.

The three quickly turned around and faced the direction of where the web came from, immediately noticing a single spider at the entrance of another pathway bearing no light. It was so dark inside that cave that the spider looked to be standing in front of the abyss.

"Just a sole spider?" Lyrian said as he began to take a step forward, but suddenly stopped. Behind the spider, a multitude of red dots appeared out of nowhere.

Alten was shaken by the sight of us, "I don't think so!" He shouted in fear.

Multiple spiders began slowly walking out of the cave entrance, each of them very large. About 2 feet tall and as wide as a ceiling fan to be exact.

They were about 20 feet away, but Lyrian could still clearly make out their giant fangs on their face, and their creepy motions and tiny hairs. Every detail about them was enough to send shivers up one's spine.

Without warning, the spiders suddenly all rushed out, their legs moving freakishly fast as they climbed up on the walls, went on the roof, and some rushed from the ground.

"AHHHH!" Alten exclaimed before passing out on the spot and falling into Leon's hands.

Leon quickly protected him up to make sure he didn't fall, "Alten, you're passing out now out of all things we've gone through!?" Leon exclaimed, shocked at Alten's sudden blacking out.

"There's no time for that right now, just leave him on the ground and kill all the spiders" Lyrian quickly said, Enhancing his fists.

In total, there were around 15 spiders quickly approaching. Lyrian dashed forward without fear, his hands ready to throw down as he threw his first punch at the spider closest to him.

However, just as his fist reached the spider's face, it rolled back and pointed its butt toward him, shooting out a clump of webs that quickly wrapped around Lyrian's fist and face, blocking his vision and throwing his fist off course.

He tore the webs off with his other hand, but as he did so a spider jumped from the roof, bearing its giant 6-inch fangs to bite him. Because he was delayed by the web Lyrian saw that he was too close to dodge the attack.

In that split second, he quickly Enhanced his wrist and put it above him to block the spider, and as the fangs struck it, they cracked up before falling apart.

Using his opportunity, Lyrian Enhanced his other fist and slammed it into the spider, bursting it into a pool of blood and guts immediately.

As he did this, however, another spider suddenly lunged at him from behind, but just before it landed its bite, Leon dashed forward, his sword unsheathed and his eyes white, before striking the spider with his sword. In a few seconds, the spider was cut into several pieces.

Lyrian and Leon quickly jumped close to each other and glued to backs to one another as they spun, defending themselves from the spider attacks with nothing being able to get them from behind.

"I got it, so you guys' specialty is power in number huh?" Lyrian said, a slight smile suddenly forming on his face.

"You guy's are fast as well, so it would be nearly impossible to take you out all at once..." As Lyrain said this, Leon also smirked slightly, "But too bad, you are all in an enclosed space with us!"

As he said this, the two dashed to an empty cave pathway to the side, taking Alten with them. Before the spiders could catch up to them, Lyrian unleashed formed his hands together and channeled his mana to his fingertips.

In unison, Leon prepared to swing his blade, as Lyrian said in his mind, "Fire!", unleashing a giant burst of flame that quickly engulfed the entire main area where the spiders were. At the same time, Leon unleashed a barrage of powerful sword swings that sent vortexes of air slicing wind around in the cave, slicing the spiders up in bulk.

The culmination of these two attacks created a giant explosion, forcing them to put up their arms to block the force created in such a small area. As the dust cleared from the impact, all that was left of the spiders were charred pieces of leg, torso, and abdomen.

The explosion was so loud that Alten also woke up due to it, standing up as he looked around, "What!? How did they all die so quickly? It's a miracle!" He exclaimed.

"Hahaha!" Lyrian laughed at Alten's delusion, finding it amusing, "That was too easy. Let's go." He said as they began walking toward the heart of the nest again.

From there on out, they were continuously attacked by groups of spiders, but thankfully no group was over 5 in number, so they didn't have to use any magic or special abilities on them. Instead, they took them out via combat.

Alten didn't pass out either, at least, not after the second encounter with them, so it was easier than before. He simply hid in one of the empty cave pathways to the side and shot down the low-health spiders with his bow.

According to him, their only danger for the most part was their fangs, as they injected a lethal poison that could only be cured by the best of medicinal technology.

After another 30 or so minutes of this, they finally arrived at a fork in the road. Alten was the first to speak, "Is this what that dwarf was talking about when he said don't go into the spider's actual nest?" He said.

Leon added, remembering what the dwarf said, "He said go right."

On the left, there were more radioactive glowing walls with even thicker webs, on the right, it seemed to be a normal cave pathway again, with gray-stone walls and nearly no webs.

"Let's go and meet that so-called legendary dwarf then," Lyrian said, taking a step into the right cave pathway.
