Chapter 121: A huge spider

Luckily Kritos again teleported in the east. Thus, he was nearly 25 or more KM away from Rewa city.

His eyes again continued to scan the surroundings as if he is waiting for someone. 

However, even after waiting for one minute, no one appeared across his vision.

Kritos smiled and ascertained that Vishwa Maris is not following him.

If Martis was again able to use space ability, then Kritos would have purchased the last Teleportation Scroll.

He was glad that his 50 SP was safe. It already cost 75 SP, purchasing the two Teleportation Scrolls.

Each of them cost 50 SP, but due to the discount of the first purchase from the Shop, he got a 50% discount on the first purchase.

Kritos looked at his current SP and sighed.

[SP: 70]

After a bit, Kritos examines his current situation.

He stood in some rocky area, Mountains were all around him. 

"Limo Mountain Range!"

Kritos was quite familiar with this place, some merchants used to cross this mountain range to reach Cloud Region's main city.

The mountain range was almost 80 KM wide, and there were not many monsters compared to the forest route to reach Cloud Region's main city.

However, the bizarre temperature of this Mountain Range is somewhat problematic.

During the day, there is a roasting heat, and at night, there is a freezing temperature.

This unusual condition was not suitable for most living beings.

It was the main reason why there are fewer monsters in this Mountain range.

Only those monsters who are capable of withstanding both extreme conditions could survive here. Nonetheless, the scarce quantity of food is another problem here.

Kritos walked around and evaluated his current location. 

"Sigh! I am far from the alley constructed by the locals."

This place isn't abandoned by the locals who live there for centuries. Hence, they created many paths for them to reach both sides of the mountain.

Kritos decided to walk in the east after looking at the Sun. It gave him the vague aspect of the four directions.

The main city was situated on the east side of Rewa city according to the geography.

Kritos's current plan is to reach the main city of Cloud Region first, and then he will decide what to do.

He doesn't know where the Dwivedi clan decided to retreat and what would be their next plan?

Maybe there would be a chance, he could meet them in the main city of the Cloud Region.

He stops thinking about it and waddles to the east.

One day later…

"Fu*k! How can someone survive here? It was impossible to even find the source of water."

Kritos was quite frustrated due to walking from the morning without drinking a single drop of water.

Limo Mountain Range was like a deserted area. There are very few trees and plants, only the stones are enormous. The mountain range is full of stones.

The lack of vegetation in this place exposes the unprotected surface of the ground to the processes of denudation

Kritos shortly finds a place to rest. Above it, there was a huge boulder that protected him from the hot rays of the burning Sun.

"Is there really a village in this damned Mountain," Kritos murmurs.

Due to the constant walking in the mountain, Kritos was hardly able to cultivate.

Moreover, he isn't able to find a single big monster except for some snakes. So, he was thirsty to eat good food and drink water.

Suddenly, Kritos heard a snorting noise coming from above. With high perception, Kritos know that someone is there.

He immediately made up his mind, and slowly arrived at the top of the hill.

"Spider!"

Kritos saw a huge spider sleeping there. He instantly used his greater inspection ability on it.

[STATUS]

~Name: none

~Race: Spider

~Specie: Deserted Black Widow 

~Bloodline: Poison deserted Spider bloodline

~Rank: Peak Rank One( Comparable to Rank 8 Apprentice Realm cultivating)

~Physical status: 

STR: 25

VIT: 23

AGI: 26

~Special Racial Trait: Toxic jet poison

~Danger Level:☠

Looking at its status, Kritos made up his mind to kill this huge spider even though he was in the Weak Stage.

Due to the Weak Stage after the first form, his all stats were currently half of the original.

Still, with his skills, he can kill this spider monster. 

Kritos's gaze was fixed on the sleeping spider. Even his breathing was cautious, his expression rigid with some fear of its poison. 

Currently, the Blue Transition Body trait is deactivated. So, he has to be careful.

'This spider b*stard, it's not gonna suddenly wake up, right?'

He never thought he would meet such an existence in this Mountain. Besides, it didn't notice him.

Now, his plan was quite simple, just secretly kill this monster. The thirst for meat overwhelms his mind.

Just as he is about to move and activate the Shadow Form, small rocks disperse due to his foot.

Keurruuuk.... Keururuk...

The spider's sleep had been interrupted by the small dispersion of the stone and it was slowly raising its massive body up.

"Fu*k! Your hearing sense!" 

Its body is the size of a house. Dozens upon dozens were in its body and eight long legs.

It had begun moving for real, it looked far more terrifying than when it was actually in a deep slumber.

"Euh!"

Kritos leaked out a fearful gasp. His body had frozen stiff like a statue. 

[The Weak Aura of Fear Invades the Host's mind!]

Kritos ignore the notification and summon a dagger from the System Storage.

He had stored many weapons in the storage function and after the Archery, the dagger is the weapon Kritos was comfortable with.

Swiish!!!

A silver dagger appeared in his right hand as if it had always been there.

Kritos gripped the dagger's hilt tightly.

As the giant monster slowly filled up his entire view, Kritos's breathing became heavy. His heart began thumping faster and faster, too.

Thump-thump!!! Thump-thump!!!

Kritos controlled his wayward breathing and did his absolute best to calm himself down. He had to remain focused and steady here, only then he could kill this monster.

The giant spider got close enough that his face was now reflecting rather clearly on those smooth, black eyes of the spider.

Kritos's own eyes narrowed to a slit.

'The exoskeleton looks pretty tough…. Can my dagger even damage it?'

Nonetheless, Kritos doesn't want to immediately use his bow. One thing must be remembered that he doesn't have much stock of Arrows.

He wanted to kill this peak Rank one spider with the dagger and his elemental powers.

Fire is a pretty good choice for this type of monster.

Moreover, he could polish his dagger ability while fighting with the monster.

Keuruk…

Finally, the spider stood before Kritos. Then, it raised its two front legs up and bent them at an angle.

Kritos immediately tilted his body.

Smack!!!

If he didn't instinctively tilt his body out of the way, the spider's legs would've penetrated his chest just now. The spider's legs stabbed into the ground behind him before rising up in the air, its joints folding back up. And from the ends of its legs, pieces of the rocky ground fell.

Kritos quickly sneaked a glance behind him.

The gravel area now had a pretty substantial hole in it.

'If I got hit by that, it wouldn't have ended with me feeling a bit of ache in my chest, huh! I have to be careful!' Kritos thought to himself.

Even the strength of the monster is only comparable to the Rank 8 of Apprentice Realm. It has a pretty strong body compared to them.

Kritis sharpened his gaze even more. Now was the time he needed to concentrate even harder.

Swish!!!

The spider's leg that was about to initially holed in his chest could now be captured in his eyes. 

"Left!" Kritos made a decision.

He ducked his head lower to evade the spider's left front leg.

Kach!!!

Kritos glanced behind at the almost broken leg of the Spider monster. 

'It worked,' Kritos was glad upon watching the damage caused by the dagger.

Before Spider could strike.

He already tilted his body back and let the spider's right leg brush past him before he took a step closer.

'Right'

A sharp scream out from Monster's mouth, telling him that his attack was successful.

In a rage, the Spider furiously attacks Kritos without thinking much. It craved to kill this ant who demolished its legs.

However, Kritos was one step ahead of him, he evaded the spider's leg that took aim at his head once more and took two steps forward this time.

'Left-right!'

Again a scream comes out from the spider's mouth, but it doesn't stop its attacks.

Boom! Boom!!! Boom!!!!

The spider's legs stabbed and destroyed the ground so loudly that his ears actually felt numb from the pain.

Kritos evaded the spider's attacks one by one and got closer and closer to the monster.

Spider monster attacks continuously poured down without a break as if Kritos killed its babies.

However, the attack pattern of the spider was rather simple so Kritos got close to it pretty easily.

'Next, it will be your eyes,' Kritos laughed.

It was the basis of all basic rules to attack the monster's weak points. So, he decided to attack the eyes of the spider, which looked to be the weakest point in its defenses.

Just as Kritos made up his mind.

He suddenly sensed that the spider's attacks had slowed down for some reason.

Swish! Swish!

A certain ominous premonition flickered past in his brain.

When he took a closer look, the muscles around the vicinity of the spider's mouth were trembling quite imperceptibly.

"Trying to bomb your stinky poison," Kritos roared.

He has already guessed the reason why the spider is trying to open its mouth. The poison of this monster is quite hazardous, so, it was better to instantly avoid it.

Suddenly, a wave of ugly liquid comes out from the Spider's mouth…
