An hour before the 7-Head Cerberus guild met Van.
"This… can still be considered as fun, right?"
Van could not help but lightly whisper as he let out his tired breath. He then took a huge gulp as he looked at the three newly arrived spiders that were now larger than him. Van slightly stepped backward, it would seem that they haven't noticed him yet.
Should he… make a run for it?
No! Van quickly shook his head. He has made it this far, he was sure he can take it. This was the best chance to strike, while the 3 spiders were still unaware of him.
And so, he quickly activated [Time Perception] and rushed towards the three, his eyes sparkling in gold and filled with excitement. His excitement, however, was instantly washed down as soon as his weapon made contact with the spider's body. Van felt it penetrate, but only by an inch before the gaff soon bent. And then, as he couldn't stop his momentum, the gaff continued to bend until it snapped in half.
"!!!"
The part that was still attached to him lightly grazed his arm, causing a small gash, "Gah!"
Van quickly backed away as he deactivated [Time Perception]. But as soon as he did so, a spider ran towards him. He quickly moved to the side, but due to his [Time Perception] skill not being activated, he almost hit a wall as his sides lightly slammed towards it.
Van's breathing instantly became erratic as he stared at the three spiders that clearly wanted to eat him.
'Calm down, calm down', he tried to convince himself. Since his weapon was already broken, then there was no shame in running away. Maybe help was already on its way?
No… he doesn't know what will happen once he escapes the Portal. For all he knows, maybe the spiders have already accumulated, and once he goes out, they will all e gushing out like a violent river.
Fight. He must fight. Even with his arm throbbing due to the gash, he must fight.
And so, once again, he activated his [Time Perception] skill and ran towards the other half of his broken weapon. He quickly grabbed it, holding it with his right arm as he couldn't move his left anymore.
He only had one option now, their eyes. He was sure that even if their bodies were already too hard to be pierced by the gaff, their eyes would remain soft-- it was the same as a human's, after all. And with this final thought assuring him, he ran towards the nearest spider.
And to his expectations, the pointed steel easily inserted itself through the spider-human's eye. Van wanted to pull the gaff out, it was sadly, already attached too firmly through the spider's head. And so, with a sigh, he swiftly backed away and turned off his skills to see if his strike was effective.
And as soon as he deactivated his speed, a loud shrill reverberated across the cave, "This…
