Spiders Wave
"What was the spider queen doing up there? Logically speaking, she should be in the most secure place of the nest!?"
[This is a good question; sadly enough, I don't have any idea what the reason may be.]
"...Huff, let's get out."
After thinking for a little about what to do, I reached the conclusion to leave that place.
[…!?]
"I mean, even if the weapon we're looking for is here, with the spider queen protecting it, there is no way we can take it from her. So let's just go."
It looks like [Global Wisdom] doesn't have anything to say against this decision since he himself could not detect her until the last moment.
While I was walking down the hallway to the first door we found, I started hearing some steps approaching me at a fast speed.
With my [Enemy Sense], I understand right away that what was approaching me was nothing good, so I started flying towards the entrance.
Fighting so many spiders in a narrow place like this one? Anyone that will do it must have a death wish or be extremely strong.
"We're almost there!"
I exclaimed as I saw the doors; before I flew through it, I turned my head to see how far the spiders were from me, and to my surprise, I effectively had enough time to go through the door and close it as well.
True, I could see the front spiders of the wave, but that is due to my [Vision Expansion] and [Vision Enhancement] skills, and yes, they may be running fast, but it looks like I'm faster while flying.
"Hahaha, bow down in front of my speed!"
I arrogantly shouted as I mocked them for being so slow.
{You shouldn't be saying something like that!}
I suddenly heard a voice in my head.
"Did you hear that voice?!"
[Which voice?]
"It sounds like a woman's voice, but this was way younger than Mother's one!"
Out of curiosity, I took a look at the spiders, and they were running faster than earlier; they were way too fast to make it look better. It's like they were pissed off.
[Do you truly have to make such an arrogant comment right now?]
"..."
[Global Wisdom] Words cut deeper than any wounds.
[Anyway, let go before it's too late.]
Before going through the doors, I launched a few [dark spheres] to slow them down.
It would be useless to try to reduce their number since there were too many of them.
After flying through the doors and closing them.
I flew far away from them before landing and started talking.
"So what is the plan?"
[…!?]
"I mean, I admit I'm not the smartest person in the world, but it is clear even to me that they will come out!"
[Wow, I am surprised that you noticed.]
"I don't know if I have to take it as a compliment or an insult."
[...]
"...So what is the plan..."
…
BOOM! BOOM!
Out of nowhere, I started hearing bangs coming from the door.
"So, in the end, they are here!"
[Are you ready!?]
After taking a deep breath, I replied to [Global Wisdom]'s question.
"Let go!"
I affirmed while spreading my wings and started flying and preparing the biggest [Dark sphere] I have ever made since I was born in this world.
I kept it charged till I heard a loud explosion. Looking to see the source, I saw the doors exploding and a sea of spiders rushing out of the hole.
[Now is the moment!]
[Global Wisdom] gave me the signal to throw the huge [Dark Sphere].
But contrary to other times, this one is not exploding. The reason? It is simple; I'm controlling it myself, and I am constantly strengthening it by adding mana to it so the spiders that are rushing out will get instantly killed.
The constant notification of receiving EXP shows that it was working perfectly.
"For now everything is going as planned."
[Yes, you're holding pretty good for your first time doing something like this.]
"It's better if we prepare a second plan for any eventuality that something goes wrong,
because i'm sure that this sphere will not kill them all, and I don't know how long my mana will last."
[You're right. Let me think of something out.]
... It has been ten minutes since the start of the fight; in these minutes I have thrown two more [Dark spheres].
After holding the first one for about three minutes, it became unstable, so I prepared the second one right away, and let the first one explode. The second one lasted a couple of minutes more, and so did the third.
Right now I'm on the fourth, but there is a problem with it.
This [Dark sphere] is smaller than the other, and some spiders were able to come out.
I started using [force] to control some walls of the ruin close to me and throw it to the spiders that were coming out.
In the meantime, I was trying to shut the hole to match my sphere dimension, but even so, from what I understand, the next sphere
will be even smaller than this one and will last even less.
"[Global Wisdom] I need a way to break through; if I keep up like this, I will only exhaust my mana!"
[I already have thought about it and i have come to a conclusion.]
"Which one?"
[Just give up; we are already screwed. Let's have a quick and painless death!]
"...EH?...What!?"
[I'm kiiidding!]
After hearing the last two words, I got so angry.
"ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND? DO YOU SERIOUSLY THINK THIS IS THE TIME TO DO THIS KIND OF JOKE?"
[Sorry, you're right; this is not the moment to be doing such jokes.]
"...So what am I supposed to do?"
[You have to start using [force] to move the [Dark Sphere] around.]
"But I can already move it around freely without using [Force]."
[If you do that, you will just consume more mana, and the next [Sphere] will not even have the size of your hand.]
"Got it. Here I go!"
I started focusing my [Force] on the dark ball. It was not an easy thing to do, but once I succeeded,
I noticed the difference; not only could I move the [Dark Sphere], but I could put even more power into it.
"It is time to counterattack!!"
