How a Black-Haired Barbarian Survived the Labyrinth in Another World-Chapter 97: Ninja?
Brin's absurd words made the party members dizzy.
"..."
In the silence, Jung Yu-shin was the first to come to his senses.
"Aren't you the daughter of the prime minister? Don't you think you'll inherit your father's job, save people, and set the country right?"
"I... I'm the third daughter. And I don't like that kind of burden. Prime minister."
"..."
Jung Yu-shin glanced at the iron mask and sighed deeply.
"Whew. Got it. But I should try. I'm worried about just going."
The iron mask accepted Jung Yu-shin's words.
"Scar is right. I can't just go. If I can save you, I should save you. Brin, you won't have to step up, so just stay still."
"···Yes."
Brin couldn't hide his nervousness as he answered.
Jung Yu-shin looked around at the party members and thought for a moment.
Giant Spider.
A medium-sized monster three times the size of a Hobgoblin Warrior.
It mainly uses paralyzing poison from its front teeth and spider webs. Its weight is also large, so even a good vanguard warrior would have a hard time withstanding a single blow to its front legs.
If you confront it head-on, it would be difficult to predict a complete victory.
“Giant Spiders are strong. Even if you somehow manage to kill the babies, it will be difficult to do anything more than that.”
Iron Mask said.
“You can get them secretly.”
The dwarf priest intervened and said.
Jeong Yu-shin looked down at Kubo.
“Kubo, your complexion is pale. Are you okay?”
“I feel a little chilly, but I’m okay.”
“Did you take the antidote?”
“I took it last night. Gulp. Gulp.”
Kubo suddenly coughed.
“Hmm?”
A small spiderling crawled out from Kubo’s nape.
Thump!
Jung Yu-shin swung his hand and swatted the spiderling away.
Kubo flinched and stepped back.
“What, what?”
“I saw the spiderling and swatted it away.”
“T-thank you. But tell me. I thought my heart was going to drop. Gulp. Gulp.”
‘I’m a little uneasy. Is this right?’
An unpleasant feeling prickled the back of his brain.
“···Why don’t we just sneak over and rescue the people? There’s no need to fight the giant spider. Should I go?”
Mars stepped forward and spoke. But Jung Yu-shin interrupted.
“I’ll go.”
“Why?”
“Because I have the Venom Protection Imprint. Even if we get caught, we can buy time to escape.”
“···Scar, you don’t have to come forward.”
Mars tried to dissuade him, but Jung Yu-shin shook his head.
“No. Let me go.”
“···Okay. Don’t push yourself too hard. If it doesn’t work out, run away.”
Iron Mask urged him earnestly.
“Okay.”
Jung Yu-shin nodded and put down his backpack.
He carefully walked through the bushes, carrying only his sword and dagger.
Pssssss.
Fortunately, since he had escaped the outskirts, it wasn’t dark, so he didn’t need a torch.
After reducing the noise and moving slowly, he entered a quiet open space. There was a cave in the center of the open space.
White spider webs were hanging everywhere he could see. The tree branches were no exception.
He saw many monsters and people hanging from the trees, tied tightly with white thread. The arms and legs sticking out through the spider webs were as dry as mummies.
‘There they are.’
I could see pink hair and blue hair through the white thread.
Pink hair was Irene.
Blue hair was Lisa.
I don’t remember exactly, but it must be right.
I approached the pink hair and blue hair slowly, step by step, without making a sound.
The two women were hanging from the tree with their entire bodies, including their faces, wrapped in thread.
I heard them groaning occasionally.
‘They’re not dead yet.’
I took out my dagger and cut the spider webs little by little.
I carefully picked up the bodies and placed them under the tree to examine them. They were twitching little by little and not coming to their senses.
‘That’s strange.’
It was hard to see because they were covered by the spider webs, but the women’s bellies were swollen.
As if they were pregnant.
I carefully tore off the face area. Their faces were as expected.
This chapt𝓮r is updat𝒆d by ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom.
However.
They were as dry as skeletons, as if all the moisture in their bodies had been sucked out.
The pink-haired woman rolled her eyes and looked at Jung Yu-shin.
“S...please consider it.”
The pink-haired woman’s tongue was loose, as if she had been injected with paralyzing poison.
“Eh...eh.”
The blue-haired woman seemed to have lost her mind, and was only making a strange sound.
“Just wait a minute.”
Jung Yu-shin answered in a small voice and raised her dagger.
First, she was going to cut all the spider webs. The two women’s bellies, as big as Namsan Mountain, were concerning.
As Brin said, she knew that she had bitten and sucked Lett, but it didn’t make sense for her belly to grow overnight.
She carefully moved the dagger and cut the spider webs wrapped around her body.
And the sight that was revealed.
‘As expected.’
It wasn’t an illusion.
Between the torn clothes.
Her belly was swollen like a balloon.
“Ah... it hurts.”
Pink hair muttered.
“Just hold on for a moment. I...”
“Bye... my stomach hurts.”
“Agyagya...”
Jung Yu-shin turned his head and looked at the two women’s stomachs.
‘What...?!’
Something was wriggling under the stomachs.
They were too small to be babies. And there were too many of them.
“It hurts... it hurts...! Itaaaaaaah!!!”
The two women’s mutterings grew louder and soon became screams.
“Kkiaaaaaaah!!!”
Pink hair screamed at the forest to leave with her reddened eyes.
‘Fuck!’
The woman’s stomach swelled up.
And.
Boom!!!
Boom!!!
The stomach exploded like a bomb and blood gushed out.
Boom thump.
Blood and viscera stained his helmet and armor.
Even splashed into his eyes, causing him to lose vision for a moment.
Square. Square.
He heard something moving near his ears.
He barely opened his eyes. And immediately regretted it.
Square. Square. Square.
From the stomachs of the two women.
Hundreds of baby spiders were coming out, swarming in a pitch-black hue.
“Ugh!”
He stumbled backward, barely holding back the urge to vomit.
“Ah...ah.”
The pink-haired woman looked down at her burst stomach and the hundreds of spiders coming out of it, and died.
The blue-haired woman did the same.
Rescue failed.
It was already too late.
There was no mention of a giant spider doing such a terrible thing in the book.
Jung Yu-shin barely managed to regain his senses and stepped back.
Squeak. Crackle. Crackle.
The baby spiders clung to the bodies of the two women and began to gnaw at their flesh.
Should we classify those horrible creatures as spiders?
I gritted my teeth and cautiously walked back into the bushes.
“···Fuck.”
I swore as I entered the bushes.
I regretted my actions of trusting the Venom Protection imprint and flirting with the party °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° members.
If I hadn’t been lucky, I and my party members would have met a terrible end like those women.
I felt it once again.
The malice of the Great Labyrinth was as deep as the abyss.
“Hoo. Hoo.”
I took a deep breath and pushed through the bushes to reach the party members.
“Uh...what happened?”
Kubo asked. Jeong Yu-shin was glad he was wearing a helmet. No one would be able to see his expression.
“They’re both dead.”
“Huh? When I saw them, they were both alive.”
“When I saved them, their stomachs burst and they died. The giant spider planted its young in the stomachs of the two women.”
It was a disconnected conversation, but the people immediately understood.
“···It’s scary.”
The dwarf muttered with a pale face.
“Let’s go. Wherever we go, we have to get out of here. It seems like the mother is gone.”
“I understand.”
The very moment he finished talking and lifted the luggage he had put down for a moment.
Phew.
His side stung. His mind immediately went blank.
What is it?
He lowered his head in confusion.
“Huh...?”
Two fangs the size of a human arm were piercing his stomach.
“Scar!!!”
Iron Mask ran towards Jung Yu-shin, shouting.
So did Mars and Kubo.
But.
It was too late.
His body lifted and flew into the sky.
Whooooowung.
He was dragged through the bushes with his stomach pierced.
Tudadadada!!!
Tree branches, blades of grass, and spider webs scratched his face as he passed. His helmet flew away somewhere.
Boom!!!
Jung Yu-shin’s body that had been flying in the sky crashed to the ground.
He rolled like a deflated soccer ball and hit something.
“Keep going.”
A hole in his stomach. Blood flowed out from a hole the size of a small child’s arm.
A baby spider came into view. And the pink-haired corpse.
It was already half-eaten, and his bones were clearly visible.
‘F...it.’
He realized.
He fell into the same empty space he had just left.
Kuuuuung!!!
A wind mixed with grass and dirt blew past Jeong Yu-shin.
‘Giant Spider.’
“Kreuk. Kreak.”
Sharp teeth. Legs like logs. Multiple pupils the size of an adult’s fist.
A huge body that made your stomach ache.
It wasn’t for nothing that he was considered a god of death among the explorers who had just been promoted to lieutenant.
“Scar!!!”
The party members hurriedly ran into the empty space.
Among them, Iron Mask ran the fastest.
“Prepare for battle!”
The dwarf priest Kubo began to chant.
Mars raised his short bow.
Iron Mask charged at the Giant Spider with his greatsword.
Kubo’s magic was activated in response.
[Holy Fire]
Kubo’s sacred magic. The sacred flames enveloped the party members. It had the effect of increasing the target's health and attack power.
Iron Mask, who reached the Giant Spider, swung his greatsword with all his might as if he wasn't even afraid of death.
A brave swordsmanship.
Hoooooooong!!!
However, Giant Spider avoided Iron Mask's attack by just slightly pulling his body away.
Boom!!!
The greatsword hit the ground.
Most people cringe when their attacks miss.
However.
Iron Mask was different. He simply lifted the heavy greatsword again.
Hoooooooong!!!
Slashed down.
The greatsword split the air. The target was Giant Spider's head.
Giant Spider retreated once again.
Boom!!!
Missed.
The greatsword was stuck in the ground.
Chooooooow!!!
The Giant Spider turned around and threw a web. The mass of web that flew like a cannonball hit Mars at the back.
Mars, who was rapidly firing with his hand imprint, was hit by the web and rolled around on the ground.
He tried to get up again, but all he could do was flounder because of the sticky web.
“Mars!!!”
Kubo ran to Mars. The Giant Spider’s rear end was aimed at Kubo.
[Intimidation]
A mark that forcibly fixes the attention of a monster to himself.
It was a gift from the labyrinth that Iron Mask had obtained.
It was an ability that could not be used carelessly because it consumed an enormous amount of magical power, but he was in no position to be picky right now.
“Haaaaat!!!”
Iron Mask grabbed the greatsword with both hands and rushed at him.
Hooooooooooo!!!
The greatsword that had risen high into the sky was slashed down once again.
A storm of momentum.
Phuhaaaaaaaaaaah!!!
The greatsword cut off one of the spider's legs.
Green fluid spurted out like a fountain from the cross-section of the leg and soaked the floor.
Neither the hard exoskeleton nor the thick legs like logs could stop Iron Mask's greatsword.
"Krerererek!!!"
The giant spider screamed and swung its giant forelegs.
Iron Mask tried to dodge, but the spider's forelegs were faster.
Ppaaaaak!!!
Iron Mask rolled far away after being hit by the giant forelegs.
Kubo grabbed his staff and stepped forward.
It seemed like he was going to protect Mars and Iron Mask.
Jung Yu-shin just watched the party members struggle through his blurred vision.
"Cough."
He coughed and bright red blood poured out on the floor.
That spider guy had poured so much paralyzing venom that I couldn’t move a finger. My breathing was getting faster and faster.
I couldn’t use Venom Protection.
Strangely, my magic didn’t move at all.
‘Am I going to die here?’
I prepared and worked hard. But in an instant, the party fell apart.
Brin was nowhere to be seen. It seemed like he had already run away.
“Uh... over there.”
Someone spoke from the side. I couldn’t turn my head to see, but I could definitely hear the voice.
The way he spoke was stammering.
It was Brin.
Jung Yu-shin’s eyes widened.
You came all the way here after that fierce struggle?
How?
‘Ninja...?’
