57 – 57. Queen

The female knight in front of me is sitting down with a bewildered expression on her face.

Scarlett’s powerful proposal… The threat, which was close to it, was as simple and clear as its personality.

Nevertheless, the reason she couldn’t even understand what he meant. That-

“…Student. Isn’t your life worth it?”

It may be due to a sense of disconnect.

Those three reflected in her eyes,

This is a student who was dragged into the hands of an instructor.

Let’s assume that I, the instructor, died fighting while saving the crew with that female knight.

It is a sad and noble death in the line of duty.

She will attend my funeral, shedding tears in her eyes, and return to the front line having grown mentally.

If I drink alcohol in the future, I might look back on that time and become sentimental.

But that’s all.

Walk with my feet wherever you go,

I died of my own will.

But, the student I brought here dies here?

That is different.

It is an unprepared death,

That is why I cannot tolerate it as a knight.

So, the moment he realized that the student was caught up in this incident, he had no choice but to give up on the team and find a way out.

Her prejudice,

“I have no intention of dying.”

Scarlett destroys it head on.

At first glance, it might seem like she was being reckless, but her eyes were very serious.

“…”

The knight, who made eye contact with her for several seconds, also seemed to understand her will.

The students I brought also had no hesitation in subduing Arachne.

Whatever the reason is.

For her, it was her salvation.

That’s why female knights happen.

“Thank you.”

With a rattling sound,

I put my hand on the sheath again.

I guess I have to get hit to come to my senses.

“Instructor, instructor. I tried to avoid saying things like this as much as possible.”

At that moment, Adele’s voice came from behind.

“This is okay, right…?”

Of course, the blood system she pointed to had not even been scratched yet.

The appearance of the crushed spider stuck outside was becoming more and more distorted.

That means that the pressure pushing from behind is enormous.

It was also easy to guess that the moment the blood system was lifted, a wave of spiders would sweep over this place like an explosion.

Then, here…

Chin-

Holding Adela’s shoulders from behind her,

I folded the backs of my hands to control Cheonhwa.

“Oh, my. If you suddenly come out like this…”

“Now, timing is important.”

The young lady is probably under a lot of stress these days, and the frequency of her nonsense has increased.

“I’ll remove the blood system in three, so just give one blow to the exact center.”

“…Hmm. That’s what it was. Embarrassingly…”

“Wait a minute, what did you say you wanted to do?! This is a cave?!”

The driver came panting and stopped us.

“I don’t know, but are you sure something is shooting you? Absolutely not! If you hit the outer wall of the cave-“

From noble mtl dot com

“Don’t worry.”

It is right to be worried about that, but

Because there are so many spiders back there.

“One, two…”

Those spiders will become the wall on their own.

“Three.”

Kwaang!

The blood system is lifted,

The moment the spider waves flood,

A strike from the highest holy object explodes in the center.

The force pushing from outside,

The mana bullet coming from inside is canceled out.

The countless bastards crawling into that outer wall,

Kwasik!

The saint’s mace,

My right hand snatches each one and kills them.

Just like that, the road was opened in an instant.

Now all that’s left is to move quickly.

“Let’s go.”

Elin looked behind her.

The path she has walked so far,

Because she couldn’t believe what she had experienced so far, she wanted to see it again.

Light coming from the lamp the instructor is holding.

Countless corpses of spiders are scattered all the way to where the light reaches.

Those damn spiders that he and his crew risked their lives to cut down, block, and ultimately chase.

All bodies are separated and thrown against the wall, just like trash.

The painting was created by only five people, including himself.

“Oh, the spiders aren’t coming anymore?”

“The parent body acknowledged it. It judged that it was unlikely that anything would happen with the volume.”

“Good. I can go in peace now.”

“Paula did all the hard work.”

“Say it like that.”

And, no one except Elin treated this as an ‘unusual thing’.

It made this place even more bizarre.

When I first encountered them, I was hesitant at the suggestion to go to subdue Arachne.

It was for the safety of students,

There was also a skill issue.

I was wondering what to do with one instructor and three students.

But, it even made me think that she might be the weakest here.

Their skills and combination were perfect.

So there is hope.

Maybe, really maybe.

The hope that we can save the crew.

After Elin took a deep breath,

As soon as she heard, ‘The spiders will not come,’ she slowly approached the saint who paused for a moment.

“Me, saintess.”

“Yes!”

This is my first time talking to the saint alone.

Probably most of the people of the empire are like that.

“What are you doing now? I wonder if it’s okay to ask-“

So the words were a bit confusing, but

Luckily, you understood.

“I’m praying! I’m busy, so I’ll just say it informally.”

“Aha…Pray…”

A saint’s attire soaked in the blood of a monster.

A mace with something flowing down.

And then, she prayed for those she had killed.

The image of the saint that Elin knows,

Even though it seemed similar, it was so different.

This alone may be enough to disturb you for a few days, but a more important question remains.

“Well, it looks like the saint went on to become that instructor’s student. Is that correct?”

“Ehehehe… That’s right.”

It was an understandable story.

That instructor was extraordinary enough to have a saint from the church as his disciple.

Above all, the shield.

Did you say it was a blood system?

When Elin checked the number of spiders it was blocking, she was confident in her heart.

“What is that instructor’s grade?”

Class A for sure. In terms of defensive ability alone, it would be the highest level among them.

Maybe, it could be more than that.

They say that Russell also has that legendary beast hero.

I had to check it here.

His objective skills. That indicator.

Only then will she be able to make the right decisions in the midst of an ever-changing battlefield.

However, the answer that came back was.

“I don’t know!”

“Huh? You said you didn’t tell your student the grade?”

That instructor’s social skills,

The only fact was that it was inversely proportional to the skill.

Elin just walked.

Since she didn’t know what she didn’t know, she didn’t try to find out.

While walking like that,

The instructor holding a lantern stopped abruptly.

“Let me check one last time. Is there anyone in the carriage who can explain?”

No answer.

I feel sorry for Elin, wondering if I should raise her hand.

“Then, I understand there are no questions. Driver, please come here for a moment.”

When I approached him, he explained.

“Your job is to provide cover.”

“Cover, do you mean?”

“Yes. That guy’s physical ability is terrible.”

Standing where he glanced, a female student with a calm expression.

“Spiders will fall from all directions. At that time, it is your role and the saint’s job to protect that student.”

“…I understand.”

“Hmm. Good.”

That’s how he took the lead.

And, before even taking ten steps.

“This is…”

The sky was created.

It felt that way for a moment.

I escaped that narrow cave, but

Where we arrived. Bigger cave.

It is wide enough to be called a square,

This place is pitch black and empty.

It was still in the mountains.

That’s why it was bizarre.

And then, the appearance began to change.

“…Star?”

An appropriate analogy that a white-haired student full of emotion inadvertently spit out.

The pitch-black ceiling with no end in sight was like the night sky.

In the meantime, a red star appeared.

And, it didn’t stop.

One more, one more, one more.

Red dots are constantly increasing.

Soon, when those red stars decorated the ceiling like the Milky Way. Elin realized.

“…Eyes.”

Quietly and coolly.

The eyes of cubs staring at the intruders who entered their mother’s bedroom.

Things stuck to the ceiling countless times,

It is the eye of a monster that must be destroyed.

“Let’s begin.”

With a word from the instructor,

Eerie stars began to pour down.

Elin pulled out her sword.

How to kill Arachne.

It is not much different from other large-species monsters.

The nucleus sleeping inside that hard skin.

Piercing through that.

That role naturally belongs to the person with the sharpest means of attack.

Cheonhwa. The owner, Adela.

Protecting her from her baby spiders was originally supposed to be left to Paula and Scarlett.

A top-class mercenary who will be an excellent replacement for Scarlett.

The blue female knight has joined.

So, the matrix attached to that pitch-black ceiling. Also, the party that will go to destroy Arachne.

It means that I can now be with Scarlett, not alone.

The difference between solo play and party play is enormous.

“…Are you really going to do that?”

And I had already delivered the guidelines for what to do when things happen like this.

I threw a mana flare at the place where the other three people were gathered and exploded it.

Whaaah!

Light. Very bright light.

According to the cubs’ instincts, they will be attracted to all aggro over there.

Scarlett and I clap our hands.

All we have to do is reverse gravity.

I said.

“Bind.”

At the same time as I chant, a strand of mana thread comes from my hand and is tied to Scarlett’s waist.

“You’re really okay, right?”

“Please, don’t worry about the instructor or the students.”

“…Oh, I don’t know. Whatever happens happens.”

She left those words.

I jumped up from my spot.

Woe!

Because I am also connected through bind,

I flew as if I was being dragged.

The air hits my cheek,

It hurt like my shoulder was going to fall off.

I was amazed by her amazing leg strength and felt no pain.

Just like that, she made a sergeant jump almost 4 stories high from the spot.

I was at the exact moment when Scarlett stopped in the air and started falling down again.

“Blood system.”

Chin-

A barrier was deployed beneath her feet.

Just enough to step on so you don’t run out of mana.

She possesses an innate sense,

After balancing on one foot and standing on it.

Woe!

I jumped up again.

“…You’re really talented.”

“Because I’m an instructor.”

Created by one instructor and one student,

Standing in the air without flight magic.

The queen above saw that tail.

Kyaaa!

I slowly opened my eyes.

He probably felt threatened.

On the ceiling, where the red star Milky Way appears to be falling down, five or six overwhelmingly large stars light up.

“Hey, it looks like it’s gotten dangerous.”

“Pay attention and just do what you’re doing.”

We ascend to eliminate Arachne’s first advantage, her geographical advantage.

The mother body, which cannot forgive that, will begin to attack itself.

Good!

I can hear you. That sound that made me really angry when I was playing the game.

An interceptor called a spider web falls down from the ceiling without visibility.

However, the sound effect is imprinted close to PTSD.

Crash!

It made me reflexively develop a blood system on Scarlett’s head.

Her web, aimed precisely at her, was thus nullified.

From noble mtl dot com

Now, just repeat this.

Good! Sigh!

No matter how hard you try and shoot spider webs from above,

It is blocked by an EX-level stepping stone and shield.

That’s how we are.

Probably the first person to visit this place-

“…This is what happens.”

The ceiling covered with Arachne’s spider web.

I arrived here without flight magic.

Looking down while standing on a new platform called a spider web,

It was so far away.

The flare that exploded appears to be a match flame.

And, right in front of you.

They allowed our intrusion, and the mother body is completely devastated.

It is as big as five carriages connected together.

Arachne, the spider queen, with red eyes the size of a human head blinking mercilessly.

She screams and glares at us.

Now there is only one thing to do.

“It will be more fun going down than going up.”

“…”

“And if the subject is a fall with a noble and arrogant queen. Even more so.”

Lord of the mountains. The noble queen sitting on the ceiling, slowly savoring the things beneath her.

To personally put us on the same level as the lesser creatures like us.

Of course, there is also a bamboo spear named Cheonhwa available.

Scarlett commented on the plan like this:

“Your ideology is a bit dangerous.”
