Chapter 75



“Pant…pant…”

Two-thirds of my health was consumed when fighting the three lizardmen . I was completely drained of mana .

‘I only have four skills to use, but my mana is so lacking…’

Currently, I only had around 500 mana . Even though my mana recovery rate wasn’t slow, my mana was almost gone once I used my combat skills . I didn’t want to waste a mana recovery potion, so I sat down and rested . Once my health and mana were fully recovered, I got up again and started moving .

‘If I catch two more mobs, I can level up . ’

I no longer feared the monsters in the canyon . The monsters in the canyons were like clumps of experience, just like the frostlight orcs . But there was one monster that was the exception…

Tadak! Tadak! Tadadak .

A very bizarre and sinister stepping sound descended rapidly down the curved wall, approaching quickly . I hurriedly shifted my gaze and almost peed my pants as I saw the owner of the steps .

The huge spider, which was as large as two 15-ton trucks, was heading towards me .

“C-Canyon spider!”

The canyon spider was a top predator among the canyon monsters . It was level 180! Even the canyon lizards and lizardmen would be caught in its spider web and become prey . There was speculation that the monsters of the canyon lived in caves because they were protecting themselves from the canyon spider .

Such a big monster actually appeared in front of me .

“H-Hik…”

In the past, I had been trapped by the canyon spider and suffered a huge trauma . So now I had an allergy towards spiders . I got goosebumps and my legs couldn’t even stand up straight .

“Kikikik…”

The canyon spider made a strange sound and shot out a spider web . Then it ran down the web and stopped right in front of my nose .

“Aaaaaaack!”

The canyon spider’s head was incredibly small compared to its huge size . As soon as the head stopped right in front of me, the mouth of the spider opened wide and the sharp teeth revealed a threatening appearance .

I randomly swung my dagger in an attempt to resist . But the blind attack didn’t touch the body of the canyon spider . The canyon spider avoided my attack while hanging on the web, then fired a web towards me .

Swaeeek .

It was initially launched in cocoon form and spread 3m wide in less than a second . If the web draped over my body then I would become the prey of the canyon spider . I was well aware of this and desperately wanted to avoid the web, but I still couldn’t move because my legs were weak .

At that moment!



[A legend doesn’t feel fear easily . ]



I was freed from the spider allergy and moved my body, avoiding the spider web . As I let out a sigh of relief, the spider looked at me like it was a trivial move . Then its onslaught started .



Syuk! Syuk!

Spider webs were shot out continuously, forming a fearsome net in the sky .

“Dammit!”

I frantically avoided the spiderwebs . As I was diligently avoiding it, I felt my limits .

‘This damn spider… no matter how much I avoid it, the spider keeps shooting out the webs . If this continues, I will become tired and unable to do anything . ’

There was a need to stop it from easily launching the webs .

“Wind Blast!”

I made a decision and cast Wind Blast towards the torso of the canyon spider . The spider was hit by Wind Blast and shook a few times while hanging on the web . But it wasn’t a substantial blow .



[You have dealt 300 damage to the target . ]



“Crazy! What is this defense?”

The canyon spider only suffered a slight amount of damage from the Wind Blast of the +8 Ideal Dagger! This meant the canyon spider’s defense was overwhelming to the point that it was superior to the frostlight orc chief, as well as the canyon lizards .

While the canyon spider was 40 levels higher than the frostlight orc chief, it was but a normal monster in comparison to the chief, which was a boss monster . A normal monster having more defense than a boss monster…

‘Of course, its health will be much lower than the frostlight orc chief’s health, but what good is that? The defense is so high that I can’t deal any damage to its health to begin with . ’

I was frustrated while the canyon spider started firing the spider webs even more quickly .

“Kuk! Quick Movements!”

My evasion and agility temporarily increased . I barely avoided the spider webs while the duration of Quick Movements continued running out . In the meantime, the cooldown of Wind Blast finished .

“Blacksmith’s Rage! Wind Blast!”

Peeng!

The canyon spider was so huge that it was easy to aim at it . Wind Blast was reinforced by Blacksmith’s Rage and hit the canyon spider, but once again, the spider didn’t receive a high amount of damage .



[You have dealt 344 damage to the target . ]



“No, what type of defense it this? Such a scam!”

“Kiyaaak . ”



I avoided the webs that started to fly again while trying to think of a plan .

‘I can’t fight against it using Wind Blast alone . Unbreakable Justice will work to a certain extent…’

Originally, Wind Blast was a skill that dealt 60% of the caster’s attack power . But since I didn’t meet the conditions to use the Ideal Dagger, I was penalized by having only half the option effect applied . In other words, Wind Blast only dealt 30% of my attack power .

On the other hand, Unbreakable Justice fully dealt 300% of my attack power . Even the canyon spider would be damaged by Unbreakable Justice .

However, Wind Blast was a ranged attack skill while Unbreakable Justice needed to hit the target directly . I couldn’t use it since I couldn’t reach the canyon spider . And right now, it was impossible to approach the canyon spider .

‘This can’t continue . Is there any way I can reach that spider?’

I was troubled as I looked at the spider webs covering the sky .

‘It is impossible to approach due to the spider web . Then I…?’

What was this? Did I need to once again experience being chewed alive?

“Dammit… Eh?”

I suddenly got a good idea .

“I don’t know if a combo will work… but it is worth trying!”

The degree of freedom in Satisfy was infinite . That also applied to skills . It was possible for users to create completely different effects depending on how they used or combined their skills . I walked forward . Then I checked and found that the cooldown of Wind Blast had ended .

Now I had somewhat figured out the pattern of the spider webs, so I easily avoided them and accurately aimed Wind Blast at the canyon spider .

Then!

“Unbreakable Justice!”

I used Unbreakable Justice . There was also the freshly generated Wind Blast .

Kiiiiing-!

The energy of Unbreakable Justice combined with Wind Blast . Wind Blast and Unbreakable Justice couldn’t be broken so they were combined into one, then a message window popped up .

Kwa kwa kwa kwang!

The dark blue aura, reminiscent of a sword master, flew towards the canyon spider .

“Kieek?”

As the wind sword flew forward, the canyon spider scrambled up the spider web in an attempt to escape . But the spider couldn’t be faster than the wind .

Peeeeeong!

“Kiyaaaaah~!”

Wind of Justice hit the canyon spider, causing it to fall down the web while a yellow liquid emerged from its mouth .

Kuwaaaang!

The canyon spider crashed into the ground, causing a huge crack . It fell on its back and was so big that it couldn’t raise its body . I was confident that now was my chance to get rid of it . I drank a mana recovery potion .

“Blacksmith’s Rage! Quick Movements!”

Once my attack power, attack speed, evasion and agility increased, I rushed towards the canyon spider . It couldn’t raise its body yet, but the spider kept trying to resist . The eight legs waved and threatened me several times, but I only had light injuries on my shoulders and thighs due to Quick Movements .

“Now…!”

I laughed as the eight legs twisted in the air, then stabbed the Ideal Dagger deep into the canyon spider’s chest .

Puok!

The back, legs, and head of the canyon spider were all covered with a thick shell . But the chest was covered with hair . In other words, the chest of the canyon spider didn’t boast an overwhelming defense, unlike the other areas .



[You have dealt 2,880 damage to the target . ]

[The Best Gauntlets option effect is activated, causing you to attack the target twice . ]

[You have dealt 6,040 damage to the target . ]



“Kieeeeeeek!”

The terrible screams of the canyon spider echoed in Kesan Canyon . Yes, now was the chance…

“Revenge… it is the true revenge time! Kuhahahahat!”

In the past, how much had I suffered from the monsters in Kesan Canyon? I was stabbed to death by a tail, killed by a tail, stunned, trampled and even eaten . I lost items and experience in this place, and my mental state was shattered . It was so bad I developed an allergy to spiders .

However, the monsters in the canyon were so strong that I never dared dream of revenge . Then what about now? I was different now . I was significantly different .

“Now is the time for you to fear me!”

Puoook!

“Kiyaaaaah~!”

[Your level has risen . ]



At this moment, my allergy to spiders disappeared forever . Meanwhile, a long-haired man was watching Grid from a high cliff .

“This is the first time in ages that I’ve seen someone take care of a canyon spider alone . His skills are still very poor, but he has a rapid growth rate…”

The canyon spider lost its web and crashed into the ground . It fell to its back and was helpless because there was no nearby terrain to fire and attach new webs to .

If the canyon spider had fallen on its stomach and there was terrain close enough to aim a spider web at, the spider would’ve instantly recovered and attacked Grid again . In other words, luck played a huge role in Grid’s successful hunt of the canyon spider .

However, the man couldn’t help admiring Grid .

“His ability grows every time he hunts a monster . His potential is beyond imagination… He seems a good choice to be my agent of revenge . ”

The name of this long-haired man was Piaro . He was once the strongest knight of the Saharan Empire . He was originally a knight captain, but he was framed as a traitor and hid in Kesan Canyon…

“Asmophel… I will make you die a cruel death!”

They were trackers looking for Piaro all throughout the continent . Piaro couldn’t escape from this place so he needed someone to get rid of Asmophel, who ruined the lives of Piaro and his colleagues .

Piaro was convinced that Grid was the person he wanted .
