Chapter 30: Skill Casting Interrupted!
"Ugh!!"
Lucien’s head throbbed and blood instantly trickled down from his ears and nose.
A familiar sweet iron taste rose in his throat and Lucien coughed up blood.
"Cough! Cough! Cough!"
His face instantly turned a shade paler and Mumu, who was right next to Lucien, had already fainted from the shock.
Lucien couldn’t feel his body at all, his mind a mush and everything around seed slow.
But he still stood ramrod straight, like a defiant steel against the storm.
The gatekeeper spider’s web on his right body didn’t bother him in the slightest, looking more like his accessory.
In reality...
Fck. Fck. Fck.
He can’t move!!
The inner soul was running around anxiously, trapped in an invisible force.
That sound wave must have had a stun effect!
But for how long??
Lucien was so anxious he was clawing his heart inside but outside, the spider queen didn’t stop at that.
The mont Lucien froze at the sound wave attack, she imdiately shrieked, her belly convulsed hard and green veins popped out on her thin skin.
"Krikkkkk!"
Throb. Throb.
Sothing seed to be punching the belly from the inside, the thin skin stretched out sharply, and then...
Plop.
The skin tore, green liquid burst out of the belly and from the inside, palm-sized shadows slowly crawled out, dragging their legs.
Tak. Tak. Tak.
The sound of rattling echoed throughout the cave, followed by faint shrieking noises.
"Kik!"
"Kik!"
Familiar green eyes lit up in the dark.
One, five, ten...
Lucien’s instinct instantly blared loudly.
No, no, wait, wait!
Lucien, still immobilized, felt all the hair on his body jumped straight.
The palm-sized creatures continued to crawl out of the queen’s belly, the faint shrieks beca clearer and louder.
"Kikkkk!"
"Kikkkk!"
Saliva dripped down their tiny mouth, the newly-ford fangs were itchy, driving them crazy.
Hungry.
Hungry.
Itchy.
Bite.
In the air, Lucien’s faint fragrance attracted the newly born spiders.
Countless pairs of eyes suddenly fixed onto his figure.
Lucien instantly felt a chill crawling up his spine.
!!
Fck!
[03:00]
Lucien scread inside, his eyes widened, pupils trembled as he watched a wave of black tide—
Surged towards him.
"Kikkkk!"
"Kikkkk!"
Mumu, who just woke up, saw the surge of monsters and his eyes rolled back, fainting again on the spot.
Ahhhhh!! Don’t co closer!!
Lucien was screaming wildly inside but outside, his landlord aura burst out, the purple mist twisted dangerously, like a tentacle trying to slap the enemies to death!
The creatures nearest Lucien’s place stiffened, their legs clattering anxiously, but they only dared to circle around Lucien.
Hungry!
Dangerous!
Instinct and fear collided in their mind.
In the end...
Instinct prevailed.
The swarm behind the one closest to Lucien stepped over their own kind and rushed towards Lucien.
"Kiiii!"
The first palm-sized spider pounced at Lucien’s calf and instantly sank their tiny fans onto his flesh.
Stab!
Blood spurt out, a stabbing pain swept over Lucien’s numb legs.
"Kikkk!!"
The other spiders imdiately surged, all pouncing towards his legs.
Tear.
Sharp fangs drilled holes into Lucien’s flesh.
Hairy legs embedded deep in the flesh, sending a tingling pain all over the body.
Tear! Tear! Tear!
Blood spurted out, flesh residues flew everywhere and Lucien quickly felt his body being rapidly drained dry.
Is he...going to die?
Lucien’s mind blurred but he bit his tongue and focused.
No! There’s still a way!
Territory Descent.
He could fake the "dungeon invasion" like he did to the slis!
Lucien imagined the feeling of bringing his territory over to another place but this ti, he didn’t imagine his house.
A dark, maze-like cave.
Slimy, cold, damp.
Lucien— imagined the sli dungeon.
Wooonggg!
The void twisted.
The space cracked, forming fine spider-like webs.
The tiny spiders around Lucien instantly stiffened.
Their instincts scread at them and they imdiately scrambled several ters away from Lucien, eyes wary with fear.
The spider queen also lifted her head, a sense of danger prickled her skin.
"Kikkk!"
Territory...invasion!
Enemy! Enemy!
Lucien’s stance changed from prey to enemy in an instant.
The queen’s green eyes rolled around eerily, her eyes fixed on a flickering shadow about to form behind Lucien.
Danger! Danger!
Do not...let it...appear!
The queen’s body trembled, her sluggish mind spun fast.
Stop...it.
The queen subconsciously opened her mouth, a surge of power ca from her belly and her bulging belly imdiately shrank by half.
Lucien, who sensed that the stun effect was gone and could already move his legs, saw the spider queen’s motion.
He almost scread.
What! Sound wave attack again—
Instead of a sound wave attack, sothing erged in the queen’s mouth, compact and tight.
The white sticky thing rolled into a bundle of balls—
A spider web!
Lucien urged his body to move but the queen was faster.
The next second—
Swoosh!
A blur of white shot out, tearing through the air like a bullet.
When the thing was just a ter away from Lucien, it imdiately blood, forming a wide net.
Ahhhh!!
Lucien dragged his body to the right, trying to dodge, but...
Silence.
His body— didn’t move.
Move!!
The body responses a few beats too late—
But it was fatal.
Splat!
Lucien’s mind wavered for a split second.
The sticky web quickly attached itself to Lucien and the spider queen’s front leg held the other end of the sticky web.
"Ugh!"
Lucien tried to thrash around, but the web bound him tightly.
Sensing the movent, the queen’s legs moved erratically and the web imdiately wound around Lucien’s body.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Lucien’s body was instantly rolled into a pupa from head to toe, with no visible gaps.
[02:00]
Darkness swallowed Lucien’s vision.
He couldn’t move.
He couldn’t hear.
He couldn’t see.
Everything seed silent, like...
Death.
Panic surged over.
The void around Lucien shook, the shadow of the sli dungeon that was about to materialize flickered, becoming faint.
The sli dungeon image in his mind cracked, shattered.
Throb!
A sharp pain shot at Lucien’s mind and a red panel imdiately popped up.
[Warning! Warning! Skill casting interrupted!]
[A skill casting failure will incur a backlash!]
[Estimated ti before the skill casting completely failed: ]
[00:59]
What...?
The skill casting...can fail?
Lucien’s heart dropped to his stomach.
He’s done for.
There’s no way out.
