As Gais and Dryard emerged from the forest turned into silt, they saw huge dwellings and watchtowers woven from wood. Spider webs stretched like bridges everywhere, and huge spiders were crawling slowly.
Dryad said, holding her breath.
Be careful… It's a goblin lair."
This time too?
At that moment, an alarm sounded from the tall watchtower.
"It's an intruder!"
From all around the forest, spider-witted goblins came running out riding lone spiders, while spiderweb defenders launched massive webs from the treetops. The trolls and the earth trolls also began charging, holding huge clubs.
Gais quickly twisted his body to avoid the spiderweb.
"It's coming!"
The poison needle goblin and the spider-leg tracker charged from both sides.
Gais raised his hand and focused his flame magic.
"Fire, rain, heaven!"
After dozens of columns of fire shot up into the sky, they poured down like a torrent. The spiderweb burned away in an instant, and the spider riders tumbled off the giant spider as if falling from a horse.
But from behind, the spider colony commander raised his arm and drove the swarm of spiders forward.
Dryard reached out his hand.
“Forest, block the path!”
Thick roots sprouted up and wrapped around the trolls’ legs, and for a moment, their movement was frozen.
Gais did not miss that opportunity.
"Rotational laugh!"
As he spun his body at high speed and swung his sword, a circular sword aura spread out. The spiderweb and the poison spear were cut apart at once, and the spider-human mutant and the poison-claw berserker fell just as they were.
Then he gathered ice magic.
"Ice Spear!"
Dozens of ice spears were created in midair and fell like a torrent. The spider spirit sorcerer and the lone spider archers were pierced through as they were, and the rear formation began to collapse.
But the earth trolls threw the huge rock.
Gais plunged his sword into the ground.
"Earth rolling!"
The earth rose with a thunderous roar, and a massive wave of rock surged forward. The thrown rock shattered into pieces, and the flow of the stones swept the trolls away just as they were.
The surviving spider lord roared as it unleashed a massive spiderweb barrier.
The spiderweb began to cover the entire forest.
Gais extended both hands forward.
"Explosive Chain!"
Vision spheres were generated in succession and exploded throughout the spiderweb. The flames and shockwaves spread in a chain reaction, splitting the barrier.
Dryard created a gust of wind and dispersed the black smoke.
Now, you know
Gais focused the lightning on the sword.
"Lightning drill!"
The spear of the spinning lightning pierced the spider lord head-on. The massive spider body shook and then collapsed, scattering black blood.
The remaining goblins and trolls, having lost their commander, scattered in all directions and began to flee.
The forest grew quiet again, but in the deeper parts of the forest far away, the howls of other beasts echoed.
Dryard heard that sound and said quietly.
"It's not over yet… "Stronger things are waiting for us deeper in this forest."
Gais gripped the spear tighter, passed through the collapsed spider colony, and moved on toward deeper parts of the forest
