In the dark aisle, cobwebs are thick, and pairs of eyes are watching us, like hunters observing their prey. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Akai and I couldn't help but feel a chill all over our bodies.

"Bad, I almost thought we were in the middle of the gap, what a waste of my feelings." Maybe to ease the atmosphere, maybe to suppress the fear in my heart, I whispered to myself.

"What now?" Akai walked so lightly that I didn't even notice when I was close enough to see him come to my side.

With my companions by my side, my mind slowly calmed down.

We stumbled into a spider's nest, which is what Akai and I share.

However, when Akai and I took a closer look at the spiders that slowly gathered around the two of us, our eyes became more solemn.

Cave spiders!

This is a nest for cave spiders.

The so-called cave spiders, as the name suggests, are groups of spiders that can only appear and live underground, and the dim world allows these spiders to have sharper hearing than ordinary spiders living on the ground, as well as the ability to adapt to the darkness at night.

If that's the case, it's not enough to scare us and make us feel resigned, you know, after the witch's battle, Akai and I have improved our combat effectiveness again.

The reason we really retreat is because this cave spider is poisonous!

That's right, poison!

Cave spiders and ordinary spiders not only live in different places, one is above ground and the other is underground, but even their appearance is different.

Compared to normal spiders, cave spiders are one size smaller and look petite.

Of course, this is only relative, in this world, ordinary spiders have a physique of up to two meters if the length of their legs is included. Rao is like this, when we were attacked by such a huge spider in the jungle ruins, Akai and I were also scared half to death.

Now, even though the cave spider is relatively small, it can't stand the poison of others.

The dark green body seems to show the extraordinaryness of the venom in the body. Unlike the yellow spots on the four legs of a normal spider, the mottled patches on the cave spider are gray.

Now, dense cave spiders cover the four walls of the mine.

Floors, walls, ceilings!

And we, are outsiders!

Hiss...

The noise is getting louder and louder.

Akai silently put away the bow and arrows, this kind of place bows and arrows can't be used, and took out an iron sword in each hand, crossed the two swords, and was on guard.

"Akai."

"What's wrong?" Whispering.

"Do you want to go up?" Although it was an inquiring tone, a fireball appeared in my hand, and the staff was clenched tightly in my hand.

Pushing a handful of glasses with his little thumb, Akai seemed to have a bright light flashing on his glasses, and he was silent.

"Huh." I understood what Akai meant, dispersed the fireball in his hand, and pushed a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose.

(Mom, there are two weird uncles with glasses here, it's so scary!) ）

―――――――― FFF group is dedicated to this tour of the dividing line――――――――

Not to mention me and Akai, two perverts who are pretending to push glasses.

Me: "Hey, when did I become a pervert!" ”

Akai: "That's it, the perverted god looks up to you too much, you are obviously a perverted gentleman Loricon!" ”

Me: "What's wrong with Lolicon!" ”

Ahem, back to business.

The cave spiders are becoming more and more hostile, and there are at least fifty of them.

Although the situation is not good for us, there is one point where Akai and I still have a big advantage.

The terrain of the mine is narrow, and there are only a few cave spiders that can pass through at one time, so as long as Akai and I can withstand the attack, then even if there are more spiders, it will be useless.

"Well, I'll take the lead." As I spoke, I leaned my staff against the wall, my hands clasped in front of me.

In the dim tunnel, the place that had been lit by a few torches suddenly became extremely bright.

Red particles converge from all directions.

Gradually, a fireball of pure fire elemental appeared in my hand, slowly expanding.

Perhaps it was the intense light that had stimulated the cave spiders, or perhaps the hostility towards us had reached its peak, and the cave spiders were swiftly swerving over the cobwebs and rushing towards me and Akai.

Akai took a step forward with his twin swords in his hand, although all his skills were on the bow and arrow, but Akai's melee combat was not weak, at least much stronger than me.

Finally, the fireball in my hand had reached the threshold I could gather so far.

The bright red fireball, almost the size of my height, exuded a temperature and brightness that made Akai look sideways.

"Eat me first!" Pushing both hands flat, a huge fireball filled almost the entire mine road.

I pushed out the [Fireball Technique] that had been accumulating for a long time.

Destroy the wither!

At this moment, the nearest cave spider was suddenly baptized with flames.

No pauses! The huge fireball burned the cave spider to ashes as it passed by, leaving only an eyeball as a trophy.

Rumble!!!

Finally, after ten meters of advancement, the huge fireball was neutralized by thick cobwebs and cavern spiders that kept colliding with each other.

On the ground, a spider's glasses remained, telling the battle record before the huge fireball disappeared.

Fireball, the first magic I learned, was my main attack. However, in my long magical exploration, I was surprised to find that the [Advanced Fireball Technique] can only be used without the need for a casting medium and to reach the level of a Grand Mage.

If the [Intermediate Fireball Technique] is nothing more than turning a fist-sized fireball into the size of a basketball, then the [Advanced Fireball Technique] is a qualitative change.

It's a magic with endless possibilities! This is the only high-level magic that can be cast without the need for a casting medium (Elemental Essence).

With a full 190 mana, my mana was instantly reduced by one-fifth after I unleashed this powerful [Fireball Technique].

But! There are many cave spiders...

With another hissing sound, the cave spiders launched a second charge.

"Drink!" With a knife in his hand, Akai slashed a cave spider at his feet, but three of them lunged at him at the same time, and raised the iron sword in his other hand, and Akai blocked one of the attacks.

At that moment, a fireball slashed past Akai and landed on the head of the third cave spider with unmistakable accuracy. The exploding fireball smashed a large wound in the cave spider's head, and it fell to the ground, convulsed a few times, stopped moving, and disappeared into thin air.

Akai threw the cave spider that had bitten the iron sword on his right hand to the ground, and then swung the iron sword in his left hand to pierce the cave spider that was about to get up again.

"It's not okay to go on like this, there are too many spiders here!" Akai turned his head and continued to dodge the bite of the cave spiders.

The pages of the Magic Book were tumbling around me, but many of the area-based spells could not be used here, and in the end, I had to use the [Fireball Technique] to attack.

"Wow!!" Caught off guard, or if it was a long time to be lost, Akai was bitten on the arm by a spider who jumped from the ceiling and sneaked up, although Akai stabbed the cave spider to death quickly, but the toxin still inevitably spread.

"[Dispel]!" A green light shone on Akai's arm in my hand.

This is the spell we bought from the merchant, and in just one night, I stayed up all night to make the spell scroll of [Dispel] and successfully completed it and put it into my magic book.

"It's raining just in time." Feeling the toxins removed from his body, Akai suddenly felt the urge to thank the businessman.

"Akai, stand down! I'm going to zoom in! "Realizing that this was not going to work, I decided not to skimp on my mana anymore.

Hearing this, Akai waved a stream of light with both hands, slashed several spiders in front of him to the ground, and then retreated.

I tossed the staff to Akai, and a scorching glow appeared in my hand again.

"Buy me a little time with my staff!"

"Oh! How do you use this thing, uh..." Akai hurriedly raised his staff, and then said in the direction of the cave spiders, "Lightning Chain!?" ”

As soon as the words fell, a burst of lightning flashed from the tip of the staff, and immediately, the angry dragon formed by a strong electric current rushed straight out, smashing the body of a cave spider in front of him, instantly splitting the cave spider into charcoal.

Then, the electricity spread out in all directions, and several cave spiders followed by it were channeled into their bodies by the scattered electricity, and fell to the ground and convulsed.

Looking at the effect of the staff's blow, Akai couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised: "So powerful? ”

"That's, it's a pity that this thing has a limit on the number of times it can be used, so get out of the way." The huge fireball in front of him was very unstable, as if it was about to detonate at any time, and I knew that it was caused by the fact that the mage level was not enough to forcibly cast the high-level magic of the great mage level.

As soon as Akai turned around and saw the fireball being pushed by me in front of me, he jumped away in fright.

"Go!"

Rumble!!!!!!

How many times have ―――――――― said that I am the dividing line――――――――

It was a tug-of-war that was not a tug-of-war, and after seven or eight of my giant fireballs smashed through, a clear road was finally cleared in front of us.

Ahem, it's a clean mine without any monsters.

Even the cobwebs were burned clean.

"Whew... *2

Akai and I sat down on the ground and let out a sigh of relief.

After a while, I regained half of my mana and cast another healing spell on Akai to avoid the after-effects of being bitten by a spider.

"Thank you." Akai pulled me to my feet.

"It's okay, let's go, see what's inside."

Now it's time to taste the fruits of victory, and I look at the spider eyes and experience orbs all over the ground, "Put those things away." ”

We're the best at picking things up.

The harvest we got from this cleanup was huge, nearly a set of spider eyes, and the experience gained was enough for me to go back and raise the mage level to level thirteen.

Akai, on the other hand, doesn't need me to bother like this, and has already raised the level of archers to level twelve.

Arrows with a 12% chance to stun.

After we've picked up all the spider eyes, a wooden chest sits quietly in the deepest part of the mine, blocked by countless cave spiders and cobwebs.
