Chapter 201: Void Training III [5]



***

Amon's eyes widened as he finally arrived at the end of the tunnel.

It was completely dark and he had been traveling for over 30 minutes.

But now, he had reached the end.

And what he saw left him shocked to the core.

Right before him was spherical shaped cave.

And the entirety of that cave, was taken over by a thick white webby mess.

The material seemed to be the liquid fluid that excreted from a worms body.

The web was shaped like a throne with it separating into a messy entanglement of threads that headed towards the side of the walls.

But they didn't stop at the border of the cave.

The walls had large circular pathways that were present in every direction of the cave.

The threads headed into those pathways, heading to a destination that only god knew what it

was.

Well, not god.

Gods and goddesses in this world were pretty dumb.

In any case, the astonishing thing about the cave was the creature.

The one sitting at the top of the throne made of threads.

With two emulciated legs that stuck to the web, it had a hard scaled body. Four sharp long bladed pincers protruded from its numerous claw like teeth. Its arms were also covered in a hard brown armor, bending at unsual angles. Two curved blades erupted from where its hands were supposed to be.

In a sense, it seemed to be a combination between a worm and a blade machine of some sort.

There was no doubt in Amon's mind.

It was definitely the Worm Queen.

And look into the sharp crimson slits that shone from inside the flat plated head, Amon also knew it was awake.

So there was no use hiding his footsteps now.

Amon disabled his [Smokesoul Mirage].

And soon as his feet touched the ground, the queen immediately screeched.

It was so sharp that the rocks in the surroundings burst into splinters and Amon clutched his

ears.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The queen had taken it as a battle initiation signal.

'Shit.' Amon cursed.

He obviously knew what the cry meant.

The worms...

They were probably rushing back now.

If they returned, then Amon was definitely dead.

At least in this constricted place.

For now, he just had to focus on the queen.

The queen's feet disconnected from the threads and Amon bent his body.

Any second now...

Sweat trickled down Amon's face as he exhaled lightly.

And at that moment, the queen suddenly blurred and disappeared from view.

Amon's eyes widened.

CLICK! CLANG!

Simultaneously, the sound of unsheathing and clashing rang out.

Amon's danger sense went haywire as he blocked a sharp blade to his neck with his odachi

Sparks rang out as he struggled to contain the blade.

The queen was definitely stronger than him in pure strength.

His odachi was getting pushed back.

Letting go of his odachi, Amon let it drop.

The queen's blade immediately pushed through.

However a second before it made impact with Amon's neck.

The latter turned into a wisp of smoke.

The blade passed harmlessly through without any damage.

Stomping his foot on the ground, Amon's odachi spun from the impact and landed back in his hand.

Coating it with [Void Touch], Amon slashed it at its chest.

separating one of its arms from it body.

While the other landed a clean punch on its head, right where he had landed the kick before.

The cracks spread more and its armor finally broke up, revealing its inner head.

And Amon didn't hesitate to grab it.

Immediately, he used [Void's Influence], overloading its brain with random thoughts.

Its movements blanked out and Amon smashed his knee into its face, smashing it into the

ground.

'Now!' Amon screamed in his thoughts as both of them pulled.

The framework of threads he had laid out in the sand finally sprung into action as it looped

around the queen's body.

Or more specifically, her joints.

Amon clenched his fists, pulling them with full force as they cut into the queen's body.

Dirty green blood sprayed in the air with each pull.

But it wasn't enough.

It was not enough to finish it before the threads broke apart.

Which was why...

Amon finally manifested his third Void skill in a time of need.

An idea rang straight in his mind.

And then...

One of his arms erupted into a torrent of pure amethyst flames.

"[Void Flames]" He spoke as he grabbed the threads once more.

In a dimly lit room, Arthur was seated in his chair.

It was a cleanly furnished room with shelves laden with books that were arranged properly.

The items on the table were also positioned properly.

Putting his legs on the table, Arthur leaned back into his chair.

He currently had a thoughtful expression on his face as he carefully adjusted his monocle.

Silence permeated every inch of the room, basking it in its embrace.

Finally, Arthur's mouth opened.

"He's already reached that far huh. He exceeds my expectations every time."

His voice rang out in the room.

Silence once again settled in the room but it was broken.

However, not by Arthur this time.

But by another familiar crisp feminine voice.

"True. He has exceeded our expectations."

Arthur nodded, his eyes moving to the side of the room where Athena was seated.

Chew...Chew...

Her chin bobbed up and down as she chewed on her gum while laying on the sofa.

A mischievous smile spread across Arthur's features.

"Ehh, I wonder how far he will go. My brat disciple." He picked up a paper plane from the

table.

Blowing on it, he threw it across the room where it landed on Athena's lap.

She smiled and picked it up.

"Well, what did you expect from someone like you."

All of a sudden, Arthur sprang up in his chair.

"He unlocked another one..." He voiced out, his voice shocked and amazed.

Athena's eyes widened as well as her mouth was left gaping. "A-Already?" She questioned.

And Arthur nodded, an excited smile on his face.

"This brat..." His voice trailed off.

"He surprises me every time." Arthur smiled, a happy once, and leaned back in his chair.

The smile on Athena's face returned.

And she blew on the paper, sending it flying across the room back into Arthur's lap.

He subtly smiled, seeing the paper plane.

'That reminds me...' He suddenly realized.

'[System]'
