Chapter 42: Absolute Control (Myth)
The two spiders moved their sharp legs and decisively cut the webs bound to their legs.
Snap!
The web was cut into two, the ground convulsed and the worm’s body disappeared into the ground.
The recoils threw spiders’ bodies away and they landed in the yard with a loud noise.
Thud! Thud!
"Spiders!" Lucien hurriedly checked the two spiders and the spiders slowly turned around, green scratches appeared on their bodies.
"Kikkkk..."
The spiders’ huge bodies slowly bent down, their legs trembled.
Lucien’s heart sank.
The spiders are injured.
But the ground in the yard was still squirming...
The movent didn’t slow down.
The poison...
Didn’t reach its flesh.
The sll of Lucien’s own blood drifted again, stronger than the spider’s blood.
Sh*t.
Bathroom!
Lucien wanted to rush to the bathroom and washed away the blood when—
Thump.
A familiar thumping noise sounded from the distance.
"What— "
Lucien whipped his head up and saw...
Two thumpers who were hiding behind the fog, stirred.
They slled the scent of their predator— but it was faint, weaker than before.
Wounded.
Thump.
The two thumpers thumped their bodies, cracking the asphalt as they approached Lucien’s house.
The saliva dripped down their mouth.
No— fck.
The thumpers didn’t move when the other worm was here!
Hummmm.
The faint humming voice was still there, the ground shifted, circling Lucien like a shark.
Thump. Thump.
The thumpers were only several ters away, their huge bodies already looming above Lucien’s heads.
Lucien gritted his teeth and ordered the two spiders.
"Use the webs...block them."
"Kiiik!"
The two spiders imdiately skittered away, green blood trickled down their wounds.
They used the remaining webs to block the thumpers, but...
Not enough.
The wounded spiders clearly wouldn’t win!
Lucien gritted his teeth, his vision blurry.
Damn it. I don’t want to do this, but...
There’s no other way.
Lucien’s fingers tremblingly clicked the Sli Dungeon’s virtual button [Summon Natives]
"Co! Sli king and queen!"
Plop! Plop!
Two huge slis popped out of thin air, instantly blocking the two thumpers’ path, giving the spiders ti to breathe.
"Block them— "
Sting.
A sharp pain cut through Lucien’s head.
Tak.
A sticky feeling slid down his face and Lucien subconsciously touched his nose—
Fresh blood.
Lucien’s aura flickered.
"My lord! Your nose— "
"Muuuu!"
—Bad uncle! Nose...bleed!
Behind Lucien, the ground sank, a blurry shadow rapidly approached.
Hummmm.
Lurenzo imdiately aid his gun at the surging ground, his voice urgent.
"Watch out— "
Boom!
A shadow burst out, pouncing at Lucien’s place with lightning speed.
Bang!
Lurenzo shot, the energy bullet hit the shell, yet again, only cracked it.
It didn’t go through.
"Kiiiik!"
The two spiders in front imdiately sensed the threat and they wanted to manipulate the web—
They were too far away.
The worm was already right in front of Lucien, its rotating teeth just an inch away.
"Muuuu!"
Mumu shrieked, his body bulged, about to spit out a corrosive saliva—
But it was too late.
Ti slowed down.
Lucien once again felt the strong odor coming from the worm.
His landlord’s aura flickered, a single blow could extinguish it.
It was as if the armor that always protected his body from outside disappeared, exposing his body bare, helpless.
A sense of dread washed over.
No...
He will die.
But he...doesn’t want to.
Lucien’s sluggish mind moved.
He used the one and only precious chance he had—
Absolute control!
DING! [Absolute Control (Myth)]
[Estimated skill usage recovery: 24 hours]
[Skill duration: 1 minute]
Throb!
Lucien felt like sothing hamred his brain, but his ntal tentacles still spread out from his body to his house.
Imdiately after, an invisible force spread.
Pause.
The worm stiffened.
The invisible force caught it, unmoving.
Lucien’s palms tightened.
Explode!
Stinggg!
"Cough!"
Lucien puked a mouthful of blood, his body staggered.
No...not enough energy.
The invisible force loosened.
The worm wriggled, its body slowly breaking free.
In that last mont, Lucien opened his palm and made a cutting motion towards the worm.
Slash!
The invisible force in the house cut the two worms, but the cut wasn’t clean.
Again!
A second cut breached the thick flesh and shell, slicing the worm into two.
Splat!
Black blood spurt out.
The worm’s two bodies fell to the ground.
Thud! Thud!
Dust burst into the air, and the invisible force imdiately dispersed.
"Cough!"
Lucien coughed his lungs out, his regeneration buff worked so hard, barely keeping him alive.
Sway.
Lucien couldn’t hold back his body anymore.
"My lord!" Lurenzo randomly groped the air and finally caught Lucien’s body, his back drenched in sweat.
Fck! He doesn’t have a healing potion!
No, the lord can’t die—
Behind the dust, the worm’s body part twitched.
A jagged mouth grew in the other body part.
Hummmm.
The two parts slowly wriggled, their smaller bodies moved exactly like the previous big worm.
Lurenzo felt a chill down his spine.
His other hand imdiately aid at the dust and then—
Swoosh!
The two separated parts pounced at Lucien, their mouths opened wide!
"Fck!!"
Lurenzo reflexively pulled the trigger— twice.
Bang! Bang!
One bullet hit the smaller worm right on its cracked skin, piercing its flesh.
The worm instantly stiffened and fell to the ground, unmoving.
But the other one—
Scratch.
The bullet only scratched the surface skin, leaving a faint white line.
"Hisss!"
The second small worm imdiately arched its body and plunged into the ground.
The ground pulsed, and then stayed silent.
Only a faint hum could be heard deep inside the ground, the ground only shifted slightly, the movent so small Lurenzo couldn’t see the direction clearly.
"Haa...haa..."
Lurenzo’s chest went up and down, Lucien in his arms had already stood up, his hands gripping Lurenzo’s arms tightly.
"I’m...fine."
He had to be.
"Muuu!"
Mumu stuck close to Lucien, his body trembling.
"Muuu! Muuu!"
—Bad uncle! Bad uncle!
Mumu...slled the familiar scent of death.
Tears dripped down his face, slightly burning the ground.
"Muuu!"
Don’t...die!
Mumu— heal!
But Mumu...can’t.
Mumu useless.
Lucien stroked Mumu’s head as he suppressed the pain raging in his body, his inner soul already died, revived and died again countless tis.
"My lord. I— "
Lurenzo checked his skill countdown and saw that the cooldown reset was only a few minutes away.
He had to do sothing!
Otherwise, he would die!
But before Lurenzo could even speak—
Thump.
A bigger tremor sounded.
Everyone subconsciously looked towards the source—
And saw a looming figure with the familiar black shell thumping from the left, just ters away from the house.
A third thumper.
