I Became the Companion of the Gods

74 – EP.19 Spider’s House -4

Put your right foot back to avoid the spider’s legs flying towards your thighs, and at the same time cut off the legs with a sword.

Then, turn your body half a turn to avoid the spider web flying from behind, and then turn the other half.

A horizontal slash using the centripetal force of the body. The spider’s body was neatly cut in two.

It may not be as sharp as Alice’s, but my sword has the sharpness that can easily cut through a spider.

Shinsoo, which is harder than them, was cut like tofu, but would it be any different than a spider?

She had always had a hard time fighting spiders, but that was just because she hated spiders.

It wasn’t because it was a difficult enemy to deal with.

The pouring spider webs are burned in the air to get rid of them, and the small spiders that fly in whenever there is a gap open up and blow them away.

The human-sized spiders lower their swords vertically and sever their bodies. Dealing with Large spiders hallucinate them to fight each other.

In this way, I was able to deal with the attacking spiders one by one.

If it had been before acquiring the ability, it would have been difficult to defeat even one, but it is different now.

I can fight against the divine beast in my own way.

Just…….

‘I can’t do it alone.’

I couldn’t drive Shinsu to death with my own power.

Even when I fought against Docheol and Bulsal, I was able to defeat them all with someone’s help.

There is still no Shinsoo that I can completely defeat with my own power.

It still is.

I tried my best to get as close to Arachne as possible, but the distance I moved was only 100m.

While moving like that, he is currently putting all his energy into fighting Arachne’s baby spiders.

Even if it’s just baby spiders, even the mother herself participates in the battle in such a difficult situation?

I could have predicted that the battle would definitely tilt that way.

But the other side just watched the battle between me and the little spider, wondering if it was just a fun play.

‘In the end, I have no choice but to endure….’

There was nothing you couldn’t do if you tried to escape through the door you entered.

However, in that case, Arachne would definitely start moving in earnest.

Because there is no spider in this world that misses its prey that enters its house.

So this situation is also a process.

The act of waiting for the prey caught in a spider’s web to tire out.

If I try to escape even a little, or show my exhaustion, that giant spider will stick its teeth at me.

“It’s great… !!”

Because the remnants of the spider’s web on the floor were interfering with the movement, the spider’s attack was slightly allowed.

It’s not such a serious problem, but if you keep repeating these mistakes, you’ll be in trouble.

The future of being eaten by spiders might not be far off……

‘I can’t.’

Strongly bounces all the air threads around you, temporarily blocking the spiders from approaching.

After vigorously shaking off the sword stained with blue bodily fluid to slightly clean the sword body, the sword was soldered into the scabbard.

After that, bend your upper body as much as possible to take a posture. Like a runner on the starting line.

The timing when the wind calms down is the starting signal. With that in mind, I turned my gaze toward the door.

Two spiders blocking my target door. They were still hallucinating and fighting each other.

Now it’s annoying, so it’s better to disappear. Therefore, I suggested that each of them take their own lives.

As the wind subsided naturally, as I had decided in my heart, I ran toward the door.

Ignoring all the spider webs shooting from behind and the spiders running at me. Focus only on reaching the target point.

As I get closer to the entrance, the corners of my mouth start to rise.

The hope of being able to escape makes me smile.

“Do you think you will let me go comfortably?”

However, a shadow is cast over me along with an explosion of sound coming from behind.

Arachne on the stage jumps all the way to the door with a single jump.

The corner of my mouth that was going up on my teeth…. Went all the way up.

“No, I didn’t expect that.”

I was sure Arachne would never let me go, even though the future I could see was limited to three seconds.

Unsurprisingly, as if nothing had happened, the giant spider was flying straight toward the door.

“That’s why I’ve been waiting for this moment!”

A state where the thread of air under my step forward and the thread in front of me are tightly twisted.

Unwind all the threads that were twisted just for the moment.

In this way, gusts of wind were created in front and below, throwing everything in the vicinity, including my body, to the other side.

“Human! Not the same number… !!”

“It’s called strategy. You stupid spider.”

On the other hand, Arachne, who couldn’t change direction while in mid-air, went straight to the doorway, intersecting with me and moving further away.

Soon, I, who had been blown away for a certain amount of time, stopped the wind.

Now gravity pulls me down and makes me fall, but it creates an air cushion on the floor and I step on the ground lightly.

This multi-purpose hall was a duplex type.

Since the place I entered this place was on the 5th floor, there is a separate entrance to the 4th floor.

And having figured out this point, the place I arrived was exactly in front of the door leading to the corridor on the 4th floor.

Even if it is an Arachne, it will take time to fly back to this place.

In other words, my victory in escaping from her web…….

“Didn’t I tell you? I will never let you go!”

“Yeombyeong… !! Were you a wild spider?!”

A huge spider creeping up behind me quietly.

It was at this moment that my inner hatred of spiders grew.

***

“No.”

“No more….”

A fox and a rabbit climb up the inside of the building and reach the top floor.

However, the rooftop lounge of the government office was empty and very tidy, not even a cobweb.

“It seems that Arachne was on the lower floor.”

“I was completely in vain.”

“Somehow, the higher you go up, the fewer the chicks come out…. I’m sorry, but it looks like we’ve been tricked by the spider.”

“A stupid fox that gets tricked by spiders.”

“Because ‘us’ includes you too, right? Don’t you think she’s more stupid than she didn’t understand her meaning?”

The ship owner came up with a good idea with the intention of not fighting, but in the end, as if it meant nothing, the two divine beasts were scratching each other’s nerves.

An atmosphere that wouldn’t be strange even if they bit each other right away.

However, Miho turned to the stairs first and the situation went into a state of truce.

“You are in luck, Rabbit. If Seobang-nim wasn’t worried about it, I would have dismantled it right here and made it for the national street.”

“Time is precious. I have to get back to the boss sooner rather than talking to the incompetent fox.”

Unlike Miho, who headed up the stairs, Alice climbed onto the railing on the roof.

Within seconds, she threw her body straight into the empty void.

Gravity quickly pulled the rabbit’s body to make Alice slam her into the ground.

Without blinking an eye, Alice calmly used her powers.

Alice calculated perfectly from the time she was floating in the air to the time she reached the ground.

With the concept of ignoring her cause and collision, Alice’s ability allowed her to land safely on the ground, ignoring gravity.

Alice returned to the first floor and tried to climb inside the building once more to join the ship owner.

Soon Alice’s sensitive rabbit ears picked up the slightest noise, and she looked up at the upper floors of the building with her shocked expression on her face.

“Boss… !!”

An impact sound began to occur near the 4th floor, but humans and pets outside the building did not detect it.

Only Alice could hear it, so she hurriedly used her powers to enter the building.

In the ever-changing field of view, Alice calculated her jump time without any problems and ran nonstop to the 4th floor, where her noise was coming from.

In a form similar to the 縮地 (縮地) common in martial arts, Alice reached the fourth floor, where she encountered the character she was aiming for.

But…….

“The boss?”

“Hey, Alice? I went upstairs…. No, more than that, run away!!”

Behind the ship owner, there was a procession of spiders, starting with the giant spider that filled the hallway and continuing behind it.

As I realized only after the two divine beasts reached the top floor, the floor where Arachne was located was the lowest floor with only 4 or 5 floors.

The ship owner realized this fact first, and she encountered Arachne.

However, she could not defeat Arachne with the skill of the ship owner.

So he, who was well aware of his limitations, chose to run away as he does now.

“Do you really think you can get away from me, human?”

“Aagh! f*ck!! Can’t you just get rid of that nasty face?!”

The owner of the ship ran as far as kicking the air, but it was extremely slow compared to Arachne’s crawling speed.

The distance between the two gradually narrowed, and eventually the ship owner came within the range of Arachne’s front legs.

The tips of the legs of a sharp giant spider flying toward his body.

The ship owner pulled out his sword without hesitation and succeeded in barely blocking the stabbing leg.

His legs, which had been moving forward, stopped in place, and baby spiders came out from under the giant spider and charged at the owner.

For the ship owner, who is tired of just blocking Arachne’s attack, the attack of the baby spiders must be fatal.

However, Alice wasn’t just watching this, so she reached the shipowner’s location in just one second and slammed the paroo down as it was.

The first spider’s head is crushed, and the other baby spiders that followed one after another are bursting out one by one by Alice’s whip.

“Boss, I will join you.”

“Thank you! I live thanks to you! And sorry! Because I didn’t follow you and went to a strange place….”

“It’s okay, the problem is that me and the fox left the president’s side first. So the boss doesn’t have to apologize.”

“Thank you very much for saying that.”

“Say something. More than that, boss. Can you leave this to me? I want to win the match against the fox.”

“Ah, come to think of it, there was a competitive showdown…. Then fine! I’m sorry that I seem to have entrusted you with it, but I’ll take care of Arachne!”

“Yes!”

The shipowner, who bounced off Arachne’s legs as if they were swinging, went forward and cut down the baby spider.

Arachne attacked him again, but Alice’s Paroo blocked the attack.

“Come on, spider. Your opponent is me.”

“A weak human or a rabbit…. All of them really get on my nerves!”

“Because the only thing a spider can do is twine and give birth. It’s natural to look down on them.”

“You better tease your mouth in moderation! Rabbit!”

“Oh, my mother spider. Baby, protect me.”

“This quirky headless rabbit… !!”

Arachne’s leg is lowered over Alice’s head.

However, the spider’s leg was stuck on the bare ground, and the rabbit laughed at it.

The perfect provocation.

Arachne, who lost her temper due to the provocation, didn’t care about the owner of the ship any longer and moved her legs restlessly to tear the rabbit to death.

However, for a rabbit that runs through time, the spider’s attack is negligible.

As a result, Arachne’s actions are only funny to the rabbit.

After leaping into the future three seconds later and smoothly avoiding the spider’s attack, Alice climbed on top of her spider’s belly and slashed it with the sharp tip of her crowbar.

A groove is dug in Arachne’s belly, and blue bodily fluid oozes out of it.

“Keee!!”

“Ugh… ! Noisy!”

Arachne writhing in pain and howling. They let out a scream so loud that it shook the floor they were on.

Alice then moved away from Arachne and folded the long rabbit ears.

As a rabbit with good hearing, it has no choice but to be sensitive to Arachne’s screams.

It was one of the few weaknesses of a rabbit that was not immune to physical attacks.

“I will kill you!! I will definitely kill the damn rabbit….!!”

“Ew… !”

Alice is tormented by the spider’s grotesque cries.

I got up from my seat to inflict more damage, but I couldn’t get close to the spider.

Because the closer you get to the ear-piercing voice, the more difficult the rabbit gets.

Realizing that she needed a different means of attack, Alice tried to get behind her to devise her own method.

A look of bewilderment began to appear on Alice’s face when she realized that something had happened.

“My ability is not activated… ?”

There were a total of three cases in which the time leap ability did not activate and remained still.

The first is when there is an object at the location at the time of leaping.

The second time is when the cooldown is not over due to a jump failure.

The last time is when you can’t move from the beginning.

For Alice, who has adapted by using countless abilities up until now, the first and second steps were impossible.

There was only one reason for that, and that was the sticky spider web that stretched under Alice’s feet.

Unless melted by fire, a spider web trap that cannot be escaped by itself.

It was an obvious mistake by the rabbit who fell over without recognizing the situation behind Arachne.

And Arachne, who witnessed this, began to laugh while distorting his face from the unending pain.

“hahahahaha!! You look good! It seems you didn’t know that I was constantly creating spider webs behind you?”

“Damn it… !”

Alice tries her best, either struggling hard or trying to scrape the spider’s web with her parry.

She didn’t think that the cobwebs clinging to her would come off at all.

Meanwhile, the giant spider was approaching the rabbit with its deadly fangs…….

“Rabbit, you should try screaming in pain… !!”

“Ugh… !!”

-f*ck!

It mercilessly rushed in and drove its fangs straight into the body.

After a while, there was the sound of the flesh being pierced and the flowing poison sizzling and melting the flesh.

Alice came to think that she had been pathetically beaten because of just one mistake.

She remained still for a while with her eyes tightly closed due to the pain that would soon come upon her, but she cautiously opened her eyes, noticing the abnormality that had occurred once more.

Then in front of her…….

“Yes, boss… ?”

Instead of herself, she only had the back of a ship owner whose body was pierced by fangs.
