“I’ll enter slowly. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.There’s definitely a reason why they’ve lost contact, and there’s a huge chance that we’ll encounter the boss monster.”read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

Hye-won warned in a low voice.

I was thinking the same thing.

My footsteps echoed softly.

I still couldn’t see an inch ahead, but I relied on my senses.

Thump. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Thump.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

Hye-won signaled at me with her hand and then pointed to the ceiling.

The ceiling? Then my eyes immediately caught sight of it.

It was a cocoon.

There were people wrapped in red threads, hanging upside down from the ceiling.

At first glance, I thought they were stalactites, wrapped in threads from head to toe.

Were they dead?

Hye-won cut one of them off and dropped it to the floor. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.I wondered if they were suffocated or if the monster left them hanging there to preserve something that was already dead.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

The blade barely sliced through the hardened cocoon.

The person inside looked calm, like he was asleep.

I put my finger in front of his nose and he was still breathing.

So this was a giant food storage— A place made to keep uneaten prey from rotting.

That means…

「Shhhh, shhhhh.」

It means he’s coming back here!

I and Hyewon-Unnie quickly hid inside a crack in the wall.

Then a minute barely even passed and that guy ■ appeared.

It was all red and black, with eight legs clinging to the ceiling.

It looked like a spider, but with a human head.

The legs were grazed, and are making strange hissing noises.

I held my breath and watched.

If we got caught here, we could end up like those people hanging there.

「Let’s see……」

It looked at the cocoon we’d broken off earlier and started hovering around it, as if mumbling something.

It was a boss monster, so its intelligence seemed quite high.

「Why is this thing off…」

「 I wonder why it’s on the ground…」

「A rat… A rat is hiding… Hmm?」

「Where?… That’s weird… Why did they only cut one off? Huh?」

After taking a logical approach, step-by-step, it finally arrive at one conclusion.

「Ah… You’re hiding around here… Hmm? So that’s it…」

A small giggle escaped its mouth.

「I’m coming… You hid in a hurry… Huh? Right?」

My hands were sweating. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Hyewon-Unnie and I stared at each other, unable to blink.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

‘What should I do?’

We could feel the behemoth looking around, it was scanning this way and that, looking for us.

If we stayed hidden, it would only be a matter of time before it finds us.

We had to go out and fight.

I scratched my nose, and Hyewon-unnie nodded slightly as if she understood my meaning.

On the count of three and we’re heading out.

「I found it… Huh?」

I heard a voice in my ear, and I quickly turned around. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.There it was, right next to me.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

A vaguely human-like face leaned in.

「I’ve found it… I’ve found it, I’ve found it, I’ve found it..!」

A spider leg struggled to squeeze through the crack.

The wall wasn’t going to collapse, so it could only pause a little then reach out to us.

The crack wasn’t deep enough to begin with, and its leg was about to reach me.

Bang!

「Keeeeeeeeee! That hurt. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.It hurts…」read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

I shot it, and it quickly pulled its leg out.

It seemed to have save my life a little.

It’s cramped for two people to hide here, so even if it doesn’t know we’re here, someone eventually had to get out.

And that someone was me with the… Spacial Interference.

Unnie and I are both damage dealers.

If we failed to keep our distance, we could end up dead.

So the only other option was to run away and go to the center of a crowd, which… was not an option either.

It could only bring more casualties.

“Unnie. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.I’ll try to distract it.”read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“What? No. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.It’s too dangerous. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.I’ll go out and…”read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“I’m better suited for this, he can crawl around the ceiling, so your skills won’t be able to work properly.”

This is because the utilization of levitation is extremely limited if there is a presence that can crawl along the walls.

In that case, we might as well just run around instead of levitate.

When she realized how much sense I was making, she stiffened and said,

“Okay.”

「Hu..Hun.. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.hungry… Wasteful… I didn’t even get to eat properly …! Huh? Why are you hurting me?」read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

I was about to move back to see if it had finally come back to its senses.

So I quickly switched places with Hyewon-Unnie.

For the meantime, I pretended to hide quietly, then I realized that it was no longer watching me so…

Bam!

I blew myself up towards the ceiling and I landed on a cocoon.

The monster was still distracted by Hye-won.

Bang!

I lightly fired a suppressive shot, and its face whipped around to stare at me.

「Hungry…… Hungry……. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Just one bite…… let me eat…… Huh?」read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

Saliva was dripping from its human-like face.

The saliva is green.

It looks like it contains a generous amount of toxins.

I’ll have to be careful not to get bitten by it.

It crawled towards me at a faster pace.

It then started screeching, with its eight legs scurrying about.

Bang bang!

I fired my gun and jumped from cocoon to cocoon.

As I moved, I counted how many cocoons came into view.

‘Twenty.’

I was told that the total number of people deployed was thirty…

Before I could think anymore…

Swish!

It spewed out a thread. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.It coiled around my forearm and began to pull me towards it.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

I hurriedly grabbed my Karambit instead of Noir, and tried to slash at it, but it didn’t cut easily…

If that’s the case then…

«Spatial Interference»

I closed the distance between us and landed on its back.

Bang!

It was actually big enough for me to use as a foothold.
