Spider Hunt (3)

the monster thought.

Why did it become like this?

When he first came up with the plan, he intended to lure Estelle and other children to the border area and make them sacrifices to the higher-ranking demons.

Estelle’s torch was a bit cumbersome, but it could be solved by pushing ahead with quantity and time.

However, Kang Yu-jin broke in and his first plan went awry.

So, I aimed for today, when professors are away.

He knew that Altair’s daughter enjoyed a walk alone before returning home.

So, I intended to kidnap her using the Witchbeast and make her a sacrifice this time.

It successfully avoided the eyes of the professor and the Constellations, and it was a perfect plan that took into consideration all future variables.

“Kang Yujin…”

I messed up everything because of that professor.

Kang Yoo-jin was present in every case, and he always put a barrier to the plan.

All of the monsters were killed, and the gate was also destroyed.

It wasn’t even a great fight. Only two guns fired.

‘Why did I not know of such a person?’

Should I have been prepared for disloyalty and asked the master?

The belated regret became disgusting and I bit my lips.

“damn···.”

If it wasn’t for Yujin Kang!

By now, all the summons would have been completed and you should have seen ‘his’ face!

His teeth were split, but the assailant laughed nonetheless.

There are still offerings left. The demonic beasts scattered all over Capella Hall would have subdued several first year students by now.

‘Even if the quality is inferior compared to Estelle, it is enough because there are many.’

I stepped back and touched the floating core of the barrier.

If you give an order with this, the magic beasts will sacrifice the first year who subdued you all at once…

“The Witchbeast won’t move.”

“What…”

“By now, the first graders should have subdued the Witchbeasts.”

“·······.”

“Did you try to make the first year a blood sacrifice? It’s a pity, Mine.”

What? What are you talking about?

Did you read this thought? No… that can’t be

I heard that mind control only reads the surface consciousness.

I can’t read it until I think about it in detail…

“Your expression asks how I know that. There’s nothing to think hard about.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Who do you think let you run around like that?”

left it?

The assailant, guessing the meaning of the words, trembled.

Yujin Kang said.

“Do you think I would have been unaware of your shallow trick?”

“Now… what are you talking about!”

“You idiot. I left it there on purpose. You put that lax plan into action.”

Recently, Kang Yoo-jin went out often.

Aside from the border areas and the winter woods, they roamed around the school.

The assailant’s body trembled at the thought of it.

“Did you know everything…?”

“Everyone knows.”

he took a step

“In the beginning of school, you used Jason to lure Estelle to the border area.”

The revolver rotates according to your steps.

“They set up a barrier in the professor’s building and hid themselves in it, and sent a demon to kidnap Estelle.”

Thus, his gun held a brilliant ring of light.

“And now, to use as a sacrifice for the first graders instead of this child.”

he pointed the gun.

“You were in my palm from the beginning.”

Eyes shining red pierced the darkness and looked at the stranger.

My body trembled.

How? How did you find out?

no one knew I didn’t leave any evidence…!

“Why did you get caught? It’s because you don’t know me.”

“What···.”

“Spider-Wolves and Shelops in the Borderlands. I saw signs and systems of command in their actions.”

From his mouth, the truth is revealed one by one.

“I knew that this was planned. Since demonic beasts cannot infiltrate this place, it must have been done by someone inside.”

The scale is big for a student to earn.

The culprit is, at least, one of the faculty members.

“So I identified your existence. It wasn’t too difficult. You were pouring out demonic energy like that.”

“·······.”

“Rather, it was more difficult to hide your ignorant bastard from the professors.”

hid it

What that means is clear.

If caught, the assailant’s plans go deeper into the shadows.

Prediction and defense are many times more difficult.

So Yujin Kang hid the existence of the assailant.

Pretending not to know what the assailant did, he waited for the professors to empty the school.

To get rid of this stupid demon while you can still handle it on your own line.

Estelle opened her eyes wide from the back and asked.

“Did you anticipate all of this and teach the magic language?”

Yujin Kang nodded in affirmation.

“Wow.”

Estelle was amazed and the assailant was shocked.

The two conflicting emotions crossed, and the revolver shone between them.

The monster took a step back.

You have to run away.

For now, I have to run away and plan the future.

He hastily grabbed the nucleus.

If you take this as it is and warp through the dimensional rift, you will be able to save your life.

It’s ugly, but that’s the best thing you can do to avoid dying.

I decided that and tried to activate the nuke-

Fuuk-

Something stabbed me in the chest.

“What…what…”

Those were the legs of a giant spider.

The leg protruding from the core pierced his chest.

“Lord, master… how is this…”

– Dedicate yourself

“I can’t… please…!”

Mine’s body, stabbed in the leg, began to shrivel.

“Kkeaaak! Save me!”

He struggled in the air, and a shriek became his will.

The sacrificial devil became dry like a mummy, and the core exploded with a roar.

cooong!

In the midst of that huge storm of demonic energy, an indescribable gigantic figure appeared.

“It’s finally out.”

A monster with the lower body of a spider and the upper body of a human.

A high-level monster, ‘Aragos’, had 8 eyes shining.

*

A high-level magic beast, Aragos.

The huge spider looked this way.

“Advanced… Demon Beast…”

Estelle’s voice trembled.

The name of a high-ranking monster was so huge that even Estelle, who was resolute in everything, expressed fear.

-Kiii…

The gate that collapsed with the appearance of Aragos was created again.

If left as it is, sooner or later the demons will break through the gate and pour out.

With the strength and command ability of a high-level monster, that gate alone could cause a war.

Today’s defenseless Helios will collapse in an instant.

‘It’s fortunate that the scale is small.’

Perhaps because of the influence of the barrier, the small size of the simple gate is comforting.

That’s because it’s still not a category that can be dealt with.

“Estel.”

“Yes, Professor.”

“I won’t leave the gate to you.”

At that scale, even Estelle’s torch would be enough to burn it off.

If only the power of pure intelligence, her skills would be comparable to that of a decent professor.

“But… there are advanced witches.”

“Okay.”

I saw the demon in front of my eyes.

“Leave that guy to me.”

He raised his magic power and confronted Aragos.

It’s easy to say, but I’m not an easy opponent to see when I’m in the senior level.

The power of a high-level monster is incomparable to that of an upper-middle class.

In fact, you only need two or more S-class hunters for subjugation.

If it were me in my life, I would have caught it without difficulty, but now my body is reset, so it is not an easy opponent.

-I know you, human.

Eyes that glistened with blood looked at me.

A piercing voice resonated in my head.

-I didn’t know you would be revived, ‘preparing reaper’.

“It’s been a while since I’ve heard that.”

Then, he crossed his blade-like arms and lowered his head.

-To our great enemy, I, Aragos, pay homage.

“·······.”

-Originally, I wouldn’t even be an opponent…

The guy pushed his huge upper body and growled.

-Now you are weak.

“·······.”

-So, I will kill you here before you regain your strength.

The huge body that occupied half of the central hall moved.

It was a majesty that would be overwhelming just by looking at it, but what filled the bottom of my heart was the hatred that welled up like a bonfire.

“That’s funny.”

The deep-rooted hatred for the Witchbeast heats up blood and veins.

The power of the infested mind control exploded toward Aragos.

“Who’s killing whom?”

The circle of the heart and chamber rotates fiercely.

「Shock」「Penetration」「Amplify」

The three spells combined, and the fired bullets turned into cannonballs and became intense.

Tuquaang!!

A roar shakes the concourse and smoke billows.

However, Aragos’s uppers were intact, and his scythe-like forepaws rushed through the rising smoke.

‘Strengthening strength’

With the strengthened leg strength, he quickly got out of the attack path.

The shattered marble was melting black due to the thick demonic energy.

The forepaw flew several times, and each time the broken floor rotted away.

“Tsk.”

The search problem is this.

You can read the enemy’s attack in advance, but even if you know this, the effect will be halved in front of an attack that is difficult to avoid.

Roaring!

The torch lit by Estelle burned the beasts.

Once I had some space, I stepped back a bit more.

“Estel, step back.”

“Yeah.”

As soon as I was able to bite her, the front paws came flying again.

can’t go back any further

He received an attack from the front with enhanced strength.

“…!”

The full body creaked in shock.

Then, demonic energy began to flow through the arm that blocked the attack.

bang! bang! bang!

Blocks the attack by striking it one by one.

My arms and back creaked, and my hands were instantly stained black by the eroding demonic air.

There was a sharp pain that seemed to burn his nerves, but he got used to it and endured it.

This level of pain was experienced on a daily basis on the battlefield.

Without changing my expression, I quickly drove the demon out of my body.

– I won’t be able to stop it forever.

“·······.”

With force, he pushed his forepaws off and bounced them away with bullets.

I ran through the concourse with the flash and explosion at my back, sliding under his stomach and quickly panning my revolver.

4 overlapping piercing spells were put into bullets and pierced his belly skin.

– Kikiiik!!

With a struggle, the flying attack was evaded by a narrow car.

Rolling on the floor, I took out the empty cartridge case and reloaded it with the speedloader.

From reloading to aiming, the movements that flowed like flowing water aimed at the rushing forepaw.

Kang! Caang!

I hit the guy’s forepaws, bounced them off, and pulled the trigger towards the slanted torso’s head.

The hardened bullet that had been fired was sucked in through his slightly open mouth and hit the guy’s skull.

-Kyaaa!!

damn. To think he didn’t die even though he hit the head straight.

Once again, I realized how weak I had become.

The guy who was having a seizure in pain, opened his mouth and spewed out spider webs.

The pitch-black spider webs scattered over his head, he put his gun toward it and fired.

「Wind Pressure」 「Whirlpool」 「Distortion」

A storm raged along the trail, pulling away the cobwebs.

Cheeik!

Poison and demonic air melted the floor.

The moment I covered my mouth with poisonous smoke and smoke that burst out, my front foot rushed through the blind spot and hit my side.

“Kuh…!”

It flew several meters and crashed into the wall.

Examining his side among the broken pieces of stone, sure enough, the affected area was already stained black from being eroded by poison and demonic energy.

“Damn it. I read it.”

The body was sluggish and the range was wide, so I couldn’t dodge it.

He rose from his seat, dripping black rotten blood.

‘Is Estelle… preparing?’

She condensed the torch in her hand, as if she was thinking of blowing the gate all at once.

With that amount, I should be able to clear the gate in a matter of minutes.

It just seems to take a little time.

The condensed firepower was a bit lacking, but the demonic beast was already coming through the gate.

‘It’s good.’

If the monster comes over, it’s enough to use it from this side.

There aren’t many numbers yet, so it should be possible.

-Do you have any intention of taking refuge in the Witchbeast, Shinigami?

“·······.”

-If you choose the Witchbeast, we will greet you with the greatest glory.

“The barking of dogs is art.”

I chewed and responded like an erection.

“I’d rather bite my tongue and die than go to you guys.”

-I’m sorry.

His giant body moved.

Standing staggeringly, I searched and read the trajectory of the attack he was about to draw.

Watching the huge body rushing through the darkness, it gathers mana.

Eventually, the condensed mind control, the power of disturbance was released.

“”Attack the enemy general””

– What?

The spreading mind control entangled the monsters who had just crossed the gate.

In order to remove the domination of a superior command object, mana flew in a lump.

I gritted my teeth to endure the dizzying vertigo and saw the enemy in front.

-Kiyik!! Key profit!!

He was surrounded by his men and biting all over his body.

For the lower and middle ranks, the order to disrupt is absolute.

I couldn’t give an order to commit suicide, but it was possible to have them attack their side.

Tuquaang!

Subsequently, the completed torch smashed the gate.

Leaving behind the gate that was consumed by the flames, she ran towards me.

“Professor, the wound is big.”

“Never mind me. Rather, lend me an ear.”

Before pushing Estelle back, she whispered a few things in her ear.

She nodded, then asked again with her eyes wide open.

“Can I?”

“You can do it.”

Estelle’s eyes looked at Eugene.

“I’ll try.”

“great.”

Only then did she send her back and confront Aragos once more.

The pain from his side hurtled his head, but he endured it by biting his molars.

I fired bullets at Aragos’s front legs, which were swinging in all directions.

bang! bang! The bullet hit one place, and a crack ran through the forefoot, which was so hard.

A sharp, open gaze relentlessly pursues the crack, and drives the last bullet into it.

His left front paw was smashed with a loud roar.

– You bastard!

The other arm is still left.

I read the trajectory of the slash, but the poisoned body was sluggish.

The shoulder that could not be avoided was ripped off by the sharp tip of the forepaw.

“Kuh…!”

Chimmy endured the excruciating pain, kicked her leg up, and slammed her forepaw into the ground.

bang! He fired all the bullets from the chamber at his paws, which were deeply lodged.

Kwachang!

The rest of my foot was crushed like that, and I was pushed out of the impact and slid across the floor.

-Kiii…

The guy was also a man-in-the-middle.

He eliminated all the subordinates who rushed to him, but his body was full of wounds.

The gate is now closed, and the professors are coming in a little while.

All he has left is death.

However, Aragos smiled slyly at me.

Killing me was enough for him.

-It was your failure to come alone, Shinigami.

“…Yes. It seems that it is still difficult to deal with seniors alone.”

I raised my head.

I gave him a deep smile.

“I mean alone.”

bang!

Gunfire rang out from behind, and flames rose from Aragos’ chest.

The owner is behind me. It was Estelle holding a revolver.

bang! Taang!

Estelle’s revolver was engulfed in flames.

He succeeded in imbuing the gun with superpowers.

‘I told you once, but I really thought you’d do it.’

I know better than anyone how difficult it is to put mana into a gun.

However, Estelle succeeded in recreating it just by seeing me shoot.

Truly overwhelming genius.

This time, I couldn’t help but laugh.

bang! bang! bang!

The bullets imbued with the flames of the stars pounded Aragos’s chest.

The guy whose forelegs had been blown off was helplessly hit by bullets, and the hard uppers were cracked by the power of the torch.

Estelle, who had left the chamber in an instant, stared blankly at me.

“I did as you said.”

“great.”

I had whispered in my ear earlier that I would make a gap so blow the torch and shoot Aragos.

To be honest, I was dubious, but I really thought I could do it.

It was admirable, so I stroked her hair a couple of times.

“oh.”

“Now get away.”

Estelle created an excellent opportunity.

Now, it’s my turn to finish.

I focused on the power that circulated in my heart.

It’s not mine, but the power of a ‘star’ that can move like mine.

Hwareuk-

‘Her’ power stirs and awakens.

As an apostle of the most holy sky, the power bestowed by Raniakea.

Her ‘star power’ became a brilliant light and exploded.

The holy light consumed the darkness of the central hall.

-That divinity…!

bang!

I ignored it and pulled the trigger.

The bullet that hit the Holy Power flew into the chest of the guy who now couldn’t even defend his front legs.

A brilliantly shining bullet pierced the strong upper in one blow.

thud!

The guy whose chest was blown off fell down.

Eight eyes are trembling as they face me wrapped in light.

-First star…! That’s her! What saved you…!

“·······.”

– aaa!!

He aimed the gun at the man who was having a seizure.

you wouldn’t know this

It’s the power I saved until the end because I couldn’t miss it.

“I thought that with the power of God, I could kill even your tough life.”

-Kyaaa!!

“That’s a buggy ending.”

bang!

The last bullet filled with holy power exploded Aragos’ head.
