Became a Swordsman Genius in a Pretty Girl Game - Chapter 366



366. Spider Queen, Arine (3)

[ How dare you, humans… How dare you touch my children! You worthless creatures──!!!!!! ]

As the eggs were destroyed, the enraged Irine began to rampage.

Stinginess was originally a sin that could not tolerate someone taking what was theirs.

Swaaash─!!

Ten long legs bent and shot out like bars.

Under Shin Sehee’s command, Utopia quickly scattered and escaped the range.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The legs struck the ground, transforming the forest terrain and causing an earthquake as if a massive bombardment had been unleashed.

Tadadadadak─

Kang Dohee, Alice, and I each ran up a leg almost simultaneously.

Irine seemed to notice our approach and summoned her minions.

[ My children! Bring those bugs to me! Right now!! Bring them before me!!! ]

“Kaaeeek!!”

“Kieee!!!”

“Ke-eee!!”

The upper body covered in pitch-black magic was human, while the lower body was that of a spider, blocking the way.

Ching!

The moonlight cried out as it cut through the air.

Blue sparks flew from the sword as it clashed with the spider’s blade-like legs.

‘Elite.’

Their strength and speed were on a different level compared to the ones encountered on the way here.

But somehow, I managed to find an opening and swung my sword.

Srrk─

The sound of a neck splitting.

But soon, the severed neck regenerated as the body sprouted anew.

Pook! Srrk! Srrk! Whirr!

After stabbing the sword about five times, the regeneration finally stopped.

To completely end this tenacious life force, it took five slashes per creature.

Kang Do-hee and Alice were also held back by the regeneration of their subordinates.

‘Indeed, the Queen’s Royal Guard.’

I had taken down about a dozen of them without rest, but there was no sign of agitation among them.

Instead, they tightened their encirclement even more, as if determined not to let me reach their mother.

‘Hoo, no matter how much Velvet Sra’s power balance is broken in the later stages of the game.’

By the third Demon Realm Gate, it was definitely not easy.

If Kang Do-hee hadn’t used Incarnation Descent to destroy most of the eggs at the beginning, today’s battle would have been even longer.

The win rate would have been even lower.

‘It’s all the fault of Velvet Sra’s developers.’

They release the next boss based on the standards of veteran players who spend millions of won on gacha every month.

That’s why it ends up like this.

Those wicked people had no consideration for newbies and free-to-play users.

Hoo─

I took a step back while confronting the Queen’s Royal Guard, took a deep breath, and focused my magic on my eyes.

‘Well, even so… I’m now peering into areas I hadn’t seen in the game.’

Path of life and path of death.

A fantastic scene unfolded before my eyes as white light and black lines intertwined.

And then, as if painting with a brush.

Following the white line, the sword and body began to move.

Whirr─ Whirr─

The body moved flexibly, dodging the enemy’s attacks, and the sword swung in its place.

Splat!!!

The lightly swung sword split the spider’s body, spewing venom.

But even that venom did not touch the body.

And although the spiders should have regenerated even from a fatal attack,

They fell to the ground as if meeting death from a single sword strike, unable to move.

[ You, you scoundrel─!!!!! ]

Then, Irine, who had been momentarily distracted by the other party members, turned her fierce gaze towards me.

And as if to concentrate the venom, her abdomen swelled.

“That technique has a delay time, doesn’t it?”

Watching that, I twisted my lips into a grin.

“And I’m not done yet. There’s still one more arrow I’ve been watching.”

Whooosh─

I loaded mana into the moonlight and swung it towards Irine’s leg that was stretched out beneath me.

Slash─────────────!

One of Irine’s massive legs was cut off entirely, like splitting a log.

[ aaargh────!!! Why, why isn’t it regenerating! Regenerating!! Why isn’t it regenerating!!!! ]

Irine raged, lifting her severed leg.

Thud!!

Sizzle─

The blood gushing from her severed leg melted the ground.

I stepped back and said,

“My path to survival is your path to death. Do you think regeneration works on instant death?”

* * *

[ Kill that human! Kill him and bring me his corpse!!! I will devour every last bit of it!! ]

Now the spider queen began to target Jin Yuha in earnest.

The remaining nine legs and the webs that hinder movement and shoot slashes.

Venom and poisonous fog.

And countless swarms of spiders targeted Jin Yuha.

It was clear that the most dangerous being at the Utopia party was none other than the black-haired human man.

The frenzied roars of the spider swarms and the relentless flashes of the blue sword light of the moonlight.

A chaotic battlefield where rough clashes and the sound of metal echoed.

Utopia struggled to block the attacks heading towards Jin Yuha even a little.

Naturally, Shin Se-hee was also getting busier.

– Right side.

– Step back slightly and defend.

– Ms. Lee Yu-ri. Throw the shield to cover Jin Yuha.

– Slow down the left spider swarm.

– Ms. Ichika. Kagemusha, cover Alice.

– Yes, Ms. Sophia. Now. Full heal.

Shin Se-hee used both the pre-recorded voice and the dynamic direct instructions according to the situation on the ground.

She was giving different orders to all the party members.

Shin Se-hee, giving orders without blinking an eye.

Cold sweat trickled down her forehead.

‘Not yet. Not yet.’

Shin Se-hee was waiting for the right moment.

Swoosh─

Jin Yuha’s sword cut off another spider’s leg.

Now it’s already the third one.

The queen, who had futilely sacrificed her legs three times, could no longer hold back her anger.

Thump─!!

For a moment, the massive body of the spider queen trembled as if it were pulsating.

‘…Now!’

*

Meanwhile, the broadcast scene was a frenzy.

“Oh my goodness… Amazing, amazing!!!! Jin Yuha! She cut off the entire leg of the Spider Queen!!! That’s the third one already!!! Swoosh!! Swoosh!!”

Lee Minyoung clenched her fists tightly and threw a punch towards the hologram screen.

– Wowwwwwwwww

– Insane…

– I just got chills all over my body

– Oh, that’s a real monster. If you cut off one leg, you have to avoid the blood that comes out of it…

– UtopiaaaㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠJin Yuhaaaㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

– Please! Please! Just one more! Just one more!!

– Jin Yuha is really crazy lol

– Dad, I want to marry Jin Yuha when I grow up! Dad, I want to marry Jin Yuha when I grow up! Dad, I want to marry Jin Yuha when I grow up!

– This is… the sword of Utopia~!! You disgusting spider b*stards~~~!! Just~ run away with your tails between your legs…!!!

– lololololololol

– At first, it seemed hopeless, but somehow it’s working out… Seriously, wow…

– I’m crying right now ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

The enemy’s attack was overwhelming and despairing.

Even when their heads were completely cut off, they would grow back, which felt absurd.

From noble mtl dot com

But, even in such a desperate situation.

Utopia was proving in real-time why she was the hero of this era.

“Re-really well done! Utopia! She has truly gained the upper hand against that terrible enemy! If she can just finish it like this…!”

Cutting through the waves of enemies, Jin Yuha approached the body of the Spider Queen.

It was when the blue sword she raised was about to cut the Spider Queen’s neck.

Thump─!

For a moment, the Spider Queen’s body pulsated.

Then, Jin Yuha and Utopia turned their backs and leaped away from the Spider Queen.

– ?

– What? Why did they suddenly retreat?

– Weren’t they just about to finish it?

– What is this?

– It was just one more hit to end it. Why…

“What, what is this? Why suddenly…”

On the hologram screen, there wasn’t much difference from before, so Lee Min-young let out a confused voice in the chat window.

It was then that the anomaly occurred.

The entire forest began to stir as the miasma whipped up a storm, enveloping the Spider Queen.

The dead minions, the surviving minions, the broken eggs, and the still intact eggs were all drawn to the Spider Queen, shattering in the storm of miasma and being absorbed.

Her abdomen swelled to an unimaginable size.

The Spider Queen began to lay four large eggs right there.

The hatching began simultaneously with the laying.

“What, what is this…?”

Unable to believe the scene unfolding before her eyes, Lee Min-young involuntarily opened her mouth.

“The, the Spider Queen is laying four more…?”

It was despair.

* * *

‘Finally, she has arrived.’

The second phase of the Spider Queen Irine.

[ Power of Avarice ]

The ability to absorb all the surrounding power and replicate herself.

Of course, the newly born queens from those eggs are not as strong as the original.

‘But they still possess 50% of her power.’

That’s why it was important to destroy the surrounding eggs early in the first phase.

‘The fact that the replication stopped at four is quite successful.’

In the worst-case scenario, we could have faced nine replications.

Of course, that doesn’t mean it will be easy.

Fighting one Irine was already tough, and now four with 50% of her power suddenly joining in?

It was undoubtedly a terrifying difficulty.

But.

I, too, have something I’ve been saving for this moment.

– Jin Yu-ha.

Shin Se-hee’s voice came through the earpiece.

“Yes.”

– Please, I’m counting on you…

Her voice was filled with desperation.

“Leave it to me.”

I took out a mask from the subspace tattoo.

A mask with a smiling face carved on a pure white background.

‘Is this Shin Se-hee’s taste?’

As I covered my face with the mask, a thin film was overlaid on my body.

Shin Se-hee said that I seem to become vulnerable to defense when I use Mu-a.

‘It’s not that I become vulnerable to defense. I just don’t care about getting blood on me.’

But, that Irine’s blood is deadly poison.

Having at least one safety device like this isn’t a bad thing.

‘The kids seem to like my face quite a bit.’

Yeah, my face is an asset, so I have to protect it.

And then I turned on the switch of unconsciousness.

‘Mu-a.’
