42 – I can hear thunder (3)

In the deep rain forest, the place where the concentration of magic power is the highest.

The torrential rain is pouring down.

A leaf that could not withstand the rain fell slowly and landed on a spider’s web.

How does a spider web maintain its shape in such heavy rain?

I could understand it the moment I saw the size of the spider web. The spider’s web stretched out hugely with the giant tree as a pillar.

There were small and large animals hanging everywhere, and in the center was the white-haired princess, Justia.

‘Where is this…… ?’

She opens her eyes, furrowing her brow.

In the middle of a rain forest in a torrential rain, he looks around in amazement at his state floating in the air.

‘Oops… ….’

A shade of despair fell over her pale face.

‘They were caught by that spider.’

I couldn’t see the spider, but it was clear that she would be back soon.

‘Her body doesn’t move… ….’

When the spider returns, the situation for her is self-evident.

She moved her body to and fro with instinctive fear. However, since she had been poisoned with paralyzing poison for a long time, her body had no strength.

‘Even if I use magic… ….’

She seemed to be about to shed tears at the sudden desperate situation, but she was not in a situation where she would get better just by crying. She

She had to put all her strength into the slightest chance of survival.

‘Please… ….’

She used the mana within her body while holding on to her heart that was about to break.

Before the spider came back, I had to drive out some of the venom in her body and get out of her web.

Little by little, little by little, I could feel the poison diluting.

‘As it is… ….’

If the spider arrives late enough, she can break the web that binds her and escape.

I don’t know where she went, but she had to beg me to come late.

She used her magic with all her mind.

At that moment, a huge shadow fell over her face.

“… ….”

An ominous aura swept over me. Justia looked up at her with her stiff face.

“Kiyik.”

A spider anchoring her body under a huge tree looks at her and laughs hideously.

“Ah… ….”

The spider said she never went anywhere else in the first place. She just let out a sneer at Justia, who was struggling from up there.

‘It’s over… ….’

The life in Justia’s eyes disappeared. It wasn’t just because of the spider’s bizarrely high intelligence and strength.

From noble mtl dot com

The spider completely exposed its belly, and a shape resembling a human face was seen.

Justia had heard the story of that spiritual creature.

That spiritual creature is probably a face holder.

If a spider suffers an unknown cause and lives beyond her lifespan, she will surpass common sense and become gigantic and powerful. The pattern on the ship resembles a human face.

As the years pass, its size grows unbelievably huge, and its power grows stronger in proportion to its size.

Looking at the size of a large predator, it seems to be an individual that has just become a spirit creature, but even the dangers of such an individual far exceed common sense.

Even if Justia raised the sword in good health, she was an opponent whose victory could not be guaranteed.

But the whole body is paralyzed, and there is not even a mediocre weapon…….

Even if a miracle happened and they were freed from the spider’s web, they couldn’t escape or fight and win.

What this meant was clear.

‘I’m going to die from being eaten by that face holder… ….’

He had no doubt about that unacceptable fact. No matter how he rolls his head, he can’t come up with a way to survive.

Death was right in front of me.

“… ….”

Tears flowed down Justia’s face.

‘I don’t want to die… ….’

In the face of death, there was nothing he could do. But she still had a lot of work to do.

“To die…… No… ….”

Thanks to diluting the extreme poison a little while ago while using magic, words came out slowly.

Her sincere emotions flowed through her vocal cords.

“To die…… No, I do not want… ….”

She sobbed as she looked at her face holder. There was no way that such a spirit creature of hers would have had any compassion for humans, but her current hopeless situation made the courtesan lean on such a thing.

“Kieek.”

However, the face holder only smiled even more deeply. The guy slowly lowered her web and approached Justia.

Her eight red eyes stare at her with her eerie glow in her eyes.

“Save…… Please… ….”

In her terrifying fear, Justia felt as if she would lose her mind any moment, but with her tear-stained face, she begged for help.

But her face brace had no intention of saving her.

“Kieek.”

The human face lifted her sharp legs. The leg slowly approached Justia’s forehead.

“Kieek.”

He let out an amused laugh, tapped her on the forehead a few times, then pulled her leg back.

At that moment, Justia saw the future where her life would end. She closed her eyes in tears.

‘This is how it ends… ….’

She has to avenge her mother…….

Her lonely and desolate life was about to end like this.

“Kieek.”

The legs of the cotton support were strained with great force.

Love liquid!

That leg flew into Justia’s forehead with the sound of a strong wind.

Quagaga River!

At that moment, lightning struck from the sky. The Inmyeon Jiju flinched and stopped her legs.

Craft!

At the same time, another thunderclap was heard.

It was a quieter sound than a thunderbolt from the sky, but for some reason it was a clearer sound in my ears.

Love liquid!

Yujin, who had flown like light, slashed the face supporter’s leg.

Foo Huaak!

“Kieack!”

There was a huge scar on the leg of the face support.

Eugene was shot again, using the beast tied to her web as a stepping stone.

Fuhuaagh!

He swung her sword and cut off the webs that held her face struts in her air.

“Kieek!”

The cotton support fell to the ground.

Wow!

There was a roar as the huge body hit the ground.

Yujin threw herself lightly and landed in front of the face holder.

“Yu, Eugene…… ?”

Justia, who was watching all of this, couldn’t contain her astonishment.

A mixture of various emotions such as surprise, gratitude, and curiosity, she was dumbfounded looking at the current situation.

She closed her eyes, obviously prepared for death, but she opened them in surprise at the sound of thunder from the sky.

She regretted it. Because the sharp legs of the face support were flying towards her between her eyebrows. If that name was going to be changed anyway, I didn’t want to see it with my own eyes.

However, the scene that unfolded after that far exceeded her expectations.

I heard the sound of the crackling brain machine exploding, and Yoo-jin flew at an incredible speed and slashed the face support leg. She cut off the web and let it crash to the ground.

Inmyeonjiju’s legs were as hard as steel, and the strength of the web he created was stronger than most swords.

However, this situation was created.

‘What happened to this… ….’

No, how the hell did Eugene get here…….

Questions kept popping up in my head.

She shook her head vigorously to shake them off.

What mattered now was the fact that Eugene had come to save him.

I have no idea how he got there, though!

“I live and live… ….”

I met a spirit creature while training and sat down.

Eugene looked at the inmyeonjiju with her calm face.

“Kieack!”

As if she couldn’t tolerate the wound she sustained on my leg, the human face prop screamed and went mad.

How did I come face to face with that dangerous spirit creature?

He went to places with high concentration of magical power in order to train the thunder sword more efficiently.

From a certain moment on, he felt that the concentration of mana had grown to an unbearably high level, and he realized that there was a slight fleshiness mixed in the mana.

‘Why live? Where did the fight take place?’

Aroused with curiosity, Eugene ran without thinking and headed to a place where he felt alive, and when he came to his senses, he had arrived here.

Come to think of it, the face holder was trying to pierce the forehead of the princess…….

I don’t know what’s going on, but she kicked off the ground and flew away thinking that she had to save her life.

So he has come to this point.

‘I’m fighting with a face holder.’

Once the situation happened, she had no way to escape. She believed in her diminutive size as a face-bearer and she had to go into battle.

‘First, let’s take care of that woman first.’

Eugene’s Danjeon opened and his mana poured out.

Craft!

The mana was instantly converted into brain energy and wrapped around the sword. Eugene spurred the ground and floated in front of Eustaia.

Justia was looking at herself with her eyes wide open.

He separated her cobwebs from her Eustia with her grim face, picked her up, and leaped to her land. He addressed her appropriately and set her down against her tree.

“I’m resting here.”

“Eugene… ….”

She had a lot of things she wanted to ask and a lot of things she wanted to hear.

“Thank you so much for saving me… ….”

“Let’s talk about it later. I have to deal with that first.”

“Cheer, treatment?”

“I’m waiting.”

However, there was no time to talk leisurely because you didn’t know when the face holder would come running.

“Eugene! You might as well run away!”

I heard Justia’s words from behind.

“That guy is so dangerous! If you get poisoned even once, your whole body will be paralyzed! Therefore…… !”

“It’s okay.”

She was seized with fear as she was taken by the face stake. She felt strong in her heart, wanting her to pick up her and run away.

But she didn’t have to.

It was true that Eugene was a bit reluctant to face such a hideous spirit creature, but she did not think that there was no chance.

There was one corner she believed in more than anything else.

‘Worth a try.’

Besides, if she killed the face holder, she could get the inner altar.

‘Inner layer is magic.’

Motivation was sufficient.

“Kieek!”

The man-faced landowner, who had completely healed the wounds on her legs with her amazing regenerative powers, screamed and ran.

The guy’s hideous mouth opened and purple liquid shot out.

‘Is that the poison the princess said?’

If you get hit, it seems hard to look good.

Love liquid!

The face supporter swung his leg.

Looking at that and estimating the attack route, I assumed Eugene was avoiding the poison.

‘Is a spirit being a spirit being?’

As a result of judging Eugene’s strength in her own way, it seemed that she assumed avoiding poison for granted.

‘That’s amazing.’

The corner of Eugene’s mouth went up.

It was a bad habit to enjoy a fight to the death of her, but thanks to her confidence boosted by her sword spirit, the corners of her mouth could not be controlled.

Cheese!

The brain-brained mana began to run through the whole body. That intense brain energy exploded out and wrapped around her sword.

Pajijijik!

A deep blue light flashed from the blade. Yujin spurred her on the spot and rushed at the human face jiju.

A purple liquid flew from the front.

Fuhuaaak!

Eugene took it as it was and entered the gap in the face holder.

“No, no, no!”

Assuming that she would avoid her poison, a perfect gap could be seen in the face supporter who swung her leg.

‘Thunder sword sword, one sword sword.’

Eugene thrust her brain sword forward. Brain qi hit the hard stomach of her face support.

Quaaang!

“Keee!”

A fierce roar erupted, and the face prop flew off and crashed into her giant tree.

“…… Uh.”

What Eugene just showed off was a form of brain swordsmanship that was naturally created while training her brain sword.

‘The destructive power is beyond imagination.’

It was a technique of throwing a sword loaded with strong brain energy forward, and it had the advantage of having a higher attack range and greater destructive power than normal sword techniques.

“Key, keyieek… ….”

Sticky blood dripped from the gigantic wounds carved on the face holder’s stomach.

Just looking at that, there was nothing short of confirming the amazing destructive power of brain swordsmanship.

‘It was a bit far to stop breathing.’

Yujin raised her sword again.

“Eugene! I told you not to be poisoned!”

At that time, Justia’s screams were heard from behind.

When I turned around, I saw that her face was pale. Since Eugene was poisoned, he seemed to think that it was only a matter of time before her body became paralyzed.

Eugene leisurely waved her arms.

“Look. I’m fine.”

“Huh?”

Justia’s face was stained with bewilderment.

‘I-I can’t do that?’

She has been poisoned herself.

Inmyeonjiju’s extreme reading was not common.

From noble mtl dot com

It’s been quite a while since Eugene was poisoned, so her paralysis symptoms should have appeared. But there was no sign of paralysis, let alone paralysis.

Eugene’s face was strangely calm.

‘What happened…… ?’

Her head hurts just from the fighting power that Eugene showed, but seeing her resistance to poison made her head hurt twice as much.

“I showed you something good, so don’t worry and wait.”

Eugene shrugged her shoulders and turned around.

She said the reason he wasn’t affected by the poison on the face holding was simple.

‘I ate the inner hem of Geumwa, but I can’t stand that kind of poison.’

She ate such precious nectar and gained resistance to numerous poisons, which was something she shouldn’t be exposed to.

“Then shall we continue?”

Yujin grinned and walked to the face holder.
