Chapter 349 - Crimson-death Hell Spider

Below him, a massacre was occurring and Jason was unsure whether he should retreat or continue to watch everything from his current position.

It might be dangerous but his curiosity about finding out, exactly, what kind of beast caused such a bloody battlefied was much higher than he expected it to be.

There were so many beasts inside the forest's center, fighting against each other right now, that Jason didn't even know where he should look.

From his point of view, the cave with the presumed cursed spider was what he should pay most attention to because the most threatening existence was inside there.

Other than that, there were also a few magical ranked beasts that Jason perceived as dangerous.

However, the most dangerous was the large group of frenzy human prodigies who summoned their soulbonds.

They might not have the highest combat prowess but they had a numerical advantage.

Almost every young man or woman Jason saw had two soulbonds and from more than several dozen frenzy humans, almost 200 soulbonds jumped into the fray, trying to help their masters.

It was a weird sight, but mankind seemed to be at an advantage on this battlefield which allowed Jason to remember that having a soulbond was extremely advantageous for everyone.

There were too many advantages, while one's soul world amplification was only one of them.

Another one was that humans would have a numerical advantage if the same number of beings would fight against each other because soulbonds belonged to the contractor! 

Unfortunately, the frenzy young prodigies were unable to control themselves, how should they be able to control their soulbonds?

It was impossible and the large human group lost their advantage in less than five minutes.

Meanwhile, the small group that was unaffected stood further away in the distance, avoiding being dragged into the fight.

One young woman within the group was staring at Jason with interest which didn't remain unnoticed.

However, Jason couldn't care less because he thought that the woman noticed him manifesting Artemis' white wings which caused her interest.

As such, it was not surprising for others to be surprised because the Mythic Garden rift restricted beings above the age of 20 to step through it.

Thus, everyone had to be at the age of 20 or below which allowed the young woman to figure out that Jason established a fortified soul conjunction with one of his soulbonds at a young age, which enabled him to manifest his soulbond's wings.

While the young women stared at him, the other members of the group watched the massacre in front of them intently as if they were searching for something.

'Do they want to find a beast to form a contract with?... It doesn't seem like that... They could have entered the forest's center because of the bloody nightmare flowers!…. Or maybe because of the spider or whatever beast there is inside the cave!'

The latter was unlikely and Jason was relatively sure that the unaffected human group didn't know what they would have to face if they were to do something stupid which would attract the spider's wrath.

However, that was not something he should be afraid of!

It wouldn't be his fault if they died because of their own stupidity.

Nevertheless, it caused  Jason to feel a little bit sour as he thought about it which caused him to hope that nothing major would happen.

Meanwhile, he completely forgot that a calamity had already happened to several dozen young prodigies who were either dead by now or still in a frenzy, fighting against other frenzied beasts with all their might.

Barely ten minutes after the massacre had started, initiated by the spider's curse, one couldn't see the brown soil anymore!

The ground was littered in blood, organs, and corpses, leaving nothing but death behind.

This sight was not appetizing and Jason felt that the combination from the bloody nightmare's fragrance in addition to the spider's curse was extremely dangerous and lethal.

What astonished him was not only that several thousand beasts died but that only a handful of beasts were alive when everything was over.

Furthermore, these beasts looked like they were about to die any moment which told Jason that the whole nightmare was over.

'Will the spider come out to eat now?' He asked himself and Jason thought that his assumption should be correct when he saw that the small group of young prodigies began to approach the forest's core once again.

They remained at a long distance during the whole battle to avoid any unnecessary trouble, only to approach the spider's lair at the worst possible timing.

Jason's mana eyes perceived that the gigantic being, he assumed to be a spider, began to move at the moment at which an unaffected group of prodigies started to approach the bloody nightmare flowers.

'It's nice that this group likes to pluck flowers, but isn't their timing the worst?' Trying to sound optimistic, Jason noticed that he was extremely bad with such a thing.

As such he couldn't help but sigh as he manifested a large icicle on which he carved one word before he shot it towards the small group of humans.

'That's all I can do!' He told himself because it was certainly the truth.

What else except trying should he do? 

Jason was sure that most wouldn't even do what he was currently trying because they didn't care about others' lives.

The word on the large icicle was "RUN", if that was not enough to warn someone, he didn't know what else he should do to warn them

The icicle flew with fast velocity towards the woman that stared at him before, piercing in the soil two meters before her. 

This caused their small group to tense up as they unsheathed their weapons before they began to search for the culprit.

Instead of looking at the word 'RUN', he carved into the icicle, the group was searching for him!

'What now?' Jason asked himself as he saw that the spider was about to arrive at the cavern entrance.

Suddenly an idea formed in his mind which he would normally disregard. 

However, he thought that trying to help was something he should at least try as long as he didn't receive any disadvantages from it.

As such, he utilized his black flame affinity while fully focussing on what he was about to do.

Three flames appeared above him with each flame spelling one letter, forming the word "R.U.N".

After that he shot another icicle at the small group who found his position, only to see the word above his head.

First, they were confused before they began to sense that something in their surrounding was wrong.

However, before they were able to run away, Jason's mana eyes perceived that the curse enveloping the whole forest's center intensified, which caused everyone in the small group to stiffen.

After that, he could see several hair-thin threads shooting out of the cave towards the group before they were enveloped by the threads and dragged to the cavern entrance.

Everything happened so suddenly and the small group was about to use all their strength to get rid of the threads that enveloped them when their strength dissipated.

They were unable to do anything and Jason could only sigh deeply when he saw that the spider's poison that was intertwined in its threads began to spread through everyone's bodies.

Only then could he see the large being which shot out the poisonous, sticky threads as it left the cavern entrance with a sac of small handball-sized eggs on its large back.

'Is that a Hell Spider?' Jason was shocked about what he saw.

A Hellspider was seen as one of the most threatening spiders at the magical rank and not something he should encounter just like that because they were seen as extinct.

However, the gigantic spider in front of him didn't look like a normal Hell Spider who had a black, dark red body.

The Hellspider in front of him had weird, crimson-colored symbols embedded all over its body.

These tattoo-like symbols were glowing in a faint hue and Jason didn't need to think long to determine that these tattoos were the spider's curse!
