Chapter 53

Chapter 53

The legs of the spiders that fell down when their webs were removed shrank. Because of the fire that suddenly bloomed in the Lightless Forest, they would not be able to see for a while.

“Uh... I can’t say it’s pretty.”

They were about 3m above Leeha’s head.

Their bodies were about the size of a basketball.

Their basketball-sized bodies had eight legs attached to them. They looked terrible, however, Leeha stayed calm.

To be more accurate, Leeha’s fingers were calm.

Taaang—!

It was almost impossible to miss even if he closed his eyes. Even though he was looking upwards, Leeha’s posture which firmly supported his musket did not waver.

Chwaah, the body exploded with the mucus pouring on Leeha.

“Uh... Raising the assimilation rate is not good.”

It was juicy and viscous like gravy, and the basketball-sized body was a spider!

After putting up with nausea he felt, Leeha pulled out a bag of gunpowder. What was the condition of the other one?

‘It shouldn’t have recovered its vision yet’

eight ping-pong balls in front of a basketball.

‘Are those eyeballs?’

Seeing it rub its big, dirty eyes with its legs, it won’t make it easy for him to recover its vision.

‘Reload!’

Even if the torch was thrown to the floor, it was still burning. He took out another gunpowder bag and started reloading while counting at the same time.

1, 3, 8, 11, 25... Tab!

“52 seconds!”

He raised his musket with a cry. It took less than 0.1 second to pull the trigger at the ghastly monster dangling in the air.

Taaang—!

The spider’s body exploded again, terrifyingly, with sparks on the gunpowder plate.

One shot, one kill.

“Huu...”

‘Let alone level 50, there aren’t many people under level 100 that can compare to my one-shot damage.’

It would have been weirder if he couldn’t one-shot the spider.

It was the first time since starting Middle Earth that Leeha was truly comfortable in a hunting ground.

“Alright.”

The body exploded and two balls fell on the floor. Leeha approached and tried to pick up the loot but to no avail.

First of all, the drop rate of the quest item was less than 50%.

‘What? Is it stuck here? I still have 10 hours 30 minutes remaining.’

Even considering the time left to return, there was still plenty of time left. Leeha took out another bag of gunpowder.

“Now, let’s have a little fun.”

Of course, if he could afford to hunt, he should also pay attention to skill level-up. From bayonet charge to the calm mind.

Leeha’s musket started to run wild.

“Kek, guys. Shall we go check if that person is dead or not? It’s been about two hours now.”

The Elementalist Oriental Bird suggested.

“It’s been that long already? Ah, I lost 1 silver.”

“No, not yet! Let’s take a look. He might have died and become a corpse, that might be the reason he did not come out.”

“Ah, right, right. Why don’t we go and see?”

“Let’s go then!”

Oriental Bird got up, but the other members seemed unwilling.

The 1 silver bet was fun and all, but going into the forest and checking it?

“What about when the spiders and bats appear?”

“We’re not going to hunt, we’re just going to check and see. We’ll be fine as long as we light up a torch and carry it.”

“Hmm...”

“If we can find the body, we can get more than 1 silver! Hehe, isn’t that right?”

The item would have been easy to find even if it was destroyed. Because there would be light shining softly on the floor.

“Guys... this is amazing.”

“What?”

Anxiety arose from Oriental Bird when one of the archers in front of him stopped walking.

Why? Did a spider appear?

“That...”

They followed where his fingers pointed. At the end of it, there was a swamp on the forest floor.

“Umm, what is that?”

“I-I don’t know. What is... that?”

They could not see it properly. Oriental Bird and his party members walked forward nervously.

“Uh, isn’t it sticky?”

One of the archers raised his foot.

Slime dripped from the sole of his foot.

“Swamp? This isn’t a jungle... I never heard that there was a swamp in the Lightless

Forest.”

“No, it’s not a swamp. This... this!”

They brought the torch closer.

The three of them may never forget the scene that unfolded before their eyes.

“Those are corpses!”

“Keu, heub.”

Oriental Bird barely held back his nausea and averted his eyes. Countless corpses of spiders and bats scattered on the floor.

The corpses of the monsters had turned grey but did not disappear yet because they had not been dead for a long time.

However, the situation was the same wherever they turned their heads. Although it was small, the area that the torch lit up was quite large...

The ground reached by the light was littered with the fluids from bats and spiders. In order to reach this kind of result, hundreds of monsters would be required.

“Baaarf, Baaaarf-arf-arf-!”

In the end, Oriental Bird was not able to hold it

in and started vomiting. Did the devil go here?

What happened?

Paduk, Paduduk-!

They suddenly heard the sound of bat wings.

One, two, three... the sound of flapping grew louder and louder, and it began to reverberate throughout the forest like a storm.

“Oh? Ohh? What’s this?”

And they soon realized... This forest was where a huge amount of bats resided. But they never saw them when they came in. And the countless corpses on the ground, what if these corpses died at the same time?

“What? Are you crazy? What the-! Why are there so many?!”

“Ah, f-fuck. Oriental Bird! Oriental Bird-nim!

Cast your magic, quick!”

It was natural for the monsters to respawn at the same time. There were a lot of monsters.

“Spiders! Spiders are also coming down! Three above!”

The two archers shot their arrows in retaliation. But they were flustered because it didn’t even go near the monsters.

“Oriental Bird-nim!”

“Baaaarf.”

Oriental Bird was vomiting nonstop and couldn’t cast.

“Kuaak, spiders, spiders!”

“I couldn’t even hit the bats, so why are there spiders?!”

West of Aelstock, the Lightless Forest.

Three strangers, relying on a small torch, entered the depths and were swept by a huge number of bats and spiders respawning at the same time.

Hey, fucking Bird!!! Use your magic!!!!

Pop, Only an angry scream remained in place.
