Fell"s formless senses were extended around him. He stood without moving an inch from his spot and patiently waited to see if his cover was effective. With each second pa.s.sing, beads of sweat could be seen sliding on his forehead and face. And when the one minute mark pa.s.sed, he exhaled a lengthy sigh."Guess everything is going even better than I thought.", he mumbled before lifting his head. He minutely glanced at the spider"s body over him and began a.n.a.lyzing the most effective way of taking the beast down.
His eyes were locked at the midsection of the creature"s legs, and he quickly a.s.sessed which one he would be taking down first. "The back legs seems to be supporting much more weight than the front legs…"
"The front legs might be thinner, but I could probably cut them with my sword…", he then gazed at the hairy back pillar-like legs. "As for those… If I want to take them at the same time, I"ll have to use those explosives…"
His hand moved, and the cubic shaped metallic box that contained the explosive appeared in his hands. He calmly flipped open the lid and took out what looked like rectangular copper plates. He a.n.a.lyzed the object he never used before and quickly found the way how to operate it.
He simply needed to attach it somewhere. He would then have to press a small dial on a long-distance command board that was also in the metallic box; Then, the rectangular copper-colored plates would explode, turning everything around them into bits.
"I"m not sure about their firepower. But just to be safe, I"ll make sure to use everything on the back legs.", he mumbled with determination flashing in his eyes.
He took a step forward, toward the back legs, and safely approach the pillar-shaped legs that had taken root int he ground. "I"m pretty sure that this creature isn"t the agile type. Taking down those legs will be the most effective path in securing the kill."
He arrived a few meters away from the first back leg, he calmed his heart and breathed deeply twice before jumping as high as he could. He managed to control his strength, and the earth under his leg was left intact despite him using his utmost strength to jump. His figure turned into a bullet that pierced the air-his jump sent his body more than thirty meters above from the ground- and he reappeared a few meters away from the middle section of the glossy black legs.
His body kept rising as it still contained quite the momentum, and his arm snapped when he attained the middle section of the leg. He skillfully attached the small copper-colored plate on the glossy blackleg, and his body continued rising slightly before beginning to fall down.
"I"ve been finding it odd that this creature has specialized on bewitching soul base powers…", he thought as he felt the air turn sharper during his fall. "From an evolutionary perspective, there isn"t much us to be agile if your body is this ma.s.sive. Still, her tendrils are still quite agile…", he thought during his fall.
His leg touched the ground without producing a single trembling under him. He moved in an agile manner toward the other leg and reproduced the same action of planting the explosives without raising any sound.
His movement, ghostly and elusive, were still fast enough, and after a single minute pa.s.sed, he found out that he had already planted every bomb that was in the metallic box. He began moving away from the creature, and soon enough left the twenty-meter radius around the gigantic creature.
He kept running away at a fast pace, and only stopped when he arrived near the pile of corpses that had nearly buried him alive. "Well, I guess this is the moment to see if this is going to work.", he exclaimed while fiddling with a small object in his hand. The object was in the shape of a circle and was small enough that it could rest in the middle of his palm, in its center was a single red-colored dial.
He waited for a few seconds while looking at the gargantuan spider-shaped creature. Then, determination flashed in his eyes, and a vicious expression appeared on his face before he detonated the explosives.
It took less than a second for the bomb to pick up the signal due to the distance, and the next moment the black pillar shaped legs turned into real pillars of blazing flames. The explosion expended past the legs, and rose to the height where the creature"s body rested in the air.
It took more than a few seconds for the explosion to die out. During that time, the spider-shaped creature had unleashed an out of the world screech through her vast soul power. The noise was released from her ghastly mouth, and had reverberated through the range she controlled.
If Fell wasn"t protected by the ephemeral soul-based veil, his mind and soul would have taken quite the hit from the infernal scream. The pain that the creature was feeling seemed to have awoken it from her pa.s.sive position. And the next moment, Fell felt a wave of soul power wash through the one hundred meter radius surrounding her.
The action was repeated a few times, and every time it would be accompanied by a strong and horrific shriek that sent chill streaming down the young cultivator"s spine. But, even with a pale face, his leg stood solidly on the ground, and he didn"t move an inch away while gazing at the vile creature.
Then, it happened. He saw the ma.s.s of flesh surrounded by a dark glossy exoskeleton move. The enormous creature tilted forward, and it"s core body part began falling toward the ground. The damage it had taken to its hinder legs seemed to have been enough to disable them completely.
Fell whistled while glancing at the falling creature in the distance. He couldn"t help but mutter with a satisfied smile on his lips, "Guess those were quite the high-quality material."
