Chapter 47. Death Spider
After defeating 5 killer wasps, we explore the 5th floor again.
My MP was getting a little low, so we explore the map, closer to places not too far from the stairs.
After a while, we encountered a monster.
This time, however, it was not a killer wasp.
Two giant spider monsters appeared from the end of my path.
Their size was nothing compared to the killer wasp.
Their 8 legs, spread out to the left and right, were more than 3 meters long.
The body alone is so heavy that it would be impossible for an average human to lift it.
Its body color is black, and each individual has eight eyes of various sizes, all glowing red.
Its gnarled, ferocious-looking fangs were dripping with a horrifying purple mucus.
They must be death spiders, another monster that roams the 5th floor.
The 2 giant spiders were moving their eight legs at high speed, heading toward us.
Their movements were also fast.
The monster data showed that the death spider’s status, including its agility, was superior to the killer wasp in every respect.
The number of death spiders is smaller than killer wasps, but even 2 death spiders are not an opponent we could underestimate.
However, our way of fighting them is not that different either.
Three seekers, including me, launch our attack magic at the beginning of the encounter.
“[Wind Slash]!”
“[Rock Bullet!]”
“[Burn Blaze!]”
My rock bullets and Kodachi-san’s wind blades hit the same individual, and Yuzuki’s flames engulfed the two death spiders.
But.
“They still won’t die even with this! They are indeed formidable!”
Seeing the 2 giant spiders break through the [Burn Blaze]’s flame and jump out, Kodachi-san kicks the ground with two daggers in her hands.
I also ran toward the death spider’s huge body with my spear and shield.
One of the death spiders must have already gotten hit by three magic attacks, but it still didn’t fall.
I knew from the monster data that the death spider was tough, but when I hit it, I realized once again how tough it was.
But even so, it did not have an inexhaustible supply of HP.
It would probably only take one or two more attacks to bring it down.
Kodachi-san is on her way.
I was rushing toward the other death spider.
However, the death spider that Kodachi-san was heading for showed an unexpected movement.
“Hey, ......! It jumped!”
Kodachi-san stopped her sprint and looked up.
The death spider took a huge leap and leaped over Kodachi-san’s head.
“Geez! Are you serious?!”
The death spider’s looking ahead at our party’s pride and joy, the magic turret, Yuzuki Hotaru.
It’s not good. Could they do such a thing?
I went back to cover: no, I’m me, and another death spider’s on the horizon.
I’ll have to leave that one to Yuzuki and Kodachi-san.
“You!”
I thrust my long spear toward the rushing death spider.
The death spider’s lunge with its 8 legs suddenly changed its trajectory to the side and almost evaded me, but I still managed to hit it.
The spear pierced the giant spider’s body.
It was not a fatal response.
The death spider didn’t care. It lunged toward me, opened its fangs gaping, and bit me.
“Gghh!”
It bypasses my shield’s defense and trusts its fangs into my right side.
I felt something pouring into my body. It’s just like when I get stabbed by a killer wasp’s stinger.
“Damn! ───Woooooooooo!”
I pulled out the spear stuck in the death spider’s abdomen, and with it, I stabbed it again with all my might.
As a result, the death spider in front of me disappeared in a black haze, and a magic stone fell to the ground.
“Hah, hah,...... I’ve beaten it. That’s right, the one that fights Yuzuki──”
I hurriedly looked back and saw that the death spider that fought Yuzuki had also already been defeated.
Yuzuki and Kodachi-san seemed to be unharmed.
Was I the only one who took damage?
I felt both pitiful and relieved.
Well, the guy I was dealing with took less damage from magic than that one, so I guess there’s nothing to be depressed about.
“Musou-san, are you all right...!”
“Senpai! Did he bite you?
Kodachi-san and Yuzuki rush over to me, looking panicked.
The expressions on their faces are concerned about me.
I try my best to smile, trying not to make them worry anymore.
“Yeah. I’d be lying if I said it didn’t hurt, but I’m fine...”
“Musou-san??”
But I wobbled and almost fell over.
I felt nauseous, and my head hurt.
I see.
That’s what people call bad status ‘poison’.
But in the midst of all this, there was one perk.
Kodachi-san held me up and supported me as I was about to fall.
The smell of sweet sweat wafted through the air.
The feel of her soft skin almost blew away my reason for a moment.
“Oh, ......! I’ll get the antidote potion out right now!”
Kodachi-san looked flustered and moved away from me, then she appeared an [Item Box], took out a bottle of antidote potion from it, and handed it to me.
Her cheeks were a little flushed, I thought.
It might have been my imagination.
I shook off my evil thoughts, opened the bottle of the potion Kodachi-san gave me, and drank it down in one gulp.
It was a little bitter.
As soon as I swallowed the entire contents of the potion, I felt better, and my health recovered.
The damage from the fang bite was still there, but the ‘poison’ injected into my body seemed to have disappeared.
“Phew. ....... Thank you for saving my life. Thank you, Kodachi-san.”
“No, no, not at all .......”
Kodachi-san looked embarrassed and looked away from me.
Her face is red, I think.
Perhaps my face is red too.
Oh, it’s hot, it’s hot.
I wonder how much of my HP was reduced by this.
I need to check the information and recover it.
“...... Are these two junior high school students or something?”
Yuzuki is saying something in disgust, but I ignore it.
I open my status and checked my condition.
The HP column showed 43/64.
Poison’ has the effect of inflicting continuous damage to HP, but in this short period, it should have almost no effect.
.
Considering that, I calculated that the pure fang damage alone had reduced my HP by about one-third.
I try to use [Earth Heal] on myself.
As a result, my HP recovered to 61/64.
I’m very much torn on whether or not to use it a second time, but since today was the first day of the 5th-floor exploration, I took a precaution and used it again to fully recover my HP.
As a result, it consumed my MP by 10 points in this battle and was decreased to 22/56.
After all, the death spider is also dangerous.
The number of death spiders on the 5th floor should be one or two, so this battle is the biggest threat, even if there are no more.
I’ve lost 60% of my MP in the four battles up to this point.
As expected of the forest floor.
It doesn’t seem to go smoothly.
However, it does not mean that I couldn’t compete with them.
I have a feeling that if some gears turn a little better, the situation will improve at once.
“Hey, senpai, I think there’s a limit to how naive you can be.”
“Shut up, Kouhai. I’m busy right now with my considerations as a seeker.”
“He–hh. Is that so.”
While silencing the cocky kouhai, we continued our exploration of the 5th floor.
But then...
We had an unexpected encounter with a mysterious girl.
