His dungeon entries increased each time, so Kieran was not surprised that higher-tier monsters had appeared . There was even a possibility that he would face God or some other kind of celestial being later on .
Kieran knew this in his heart, yet this did not mean that he was prepared to fight mythical monsters right now .
Kieran had thought that mythical monsters would only appear after the 10th or 20th dungeon . He was not prepared to face one now .
However, he also knew that the Hell Fiend Spider before him would not let him go if he decided to step down .
The books he had read about the creature had stated clearly that, when the spider entered hunting mode, it did not let go of anything within its sight .
Even if its stomach was full, it would not mind playing with its prey and saving it as rations for another day .
Kieran could not retreat, so he had to risk it .
"Schmidt, go down to the lower deck . The nest of this big ugly bastard should be down there . If Boller isn't dead yet, he should be down there as well!" Kieran said quickly .
"But you…"
"Take care!"
Schmidt wanted to say something, but he eventually just told Kieran to be careful .
"Relax, I've imagined a lot of ways that I could die, but they definitely did not include being eaten alive . I will eat the monster before I get eaten!" Kieran said coldly under his breath, his eyes locked on the monster before him .
The rhythmic beating of his heart in his chest started to change .
Two distinctive auras started to escape his body .
One of them was an evil rainbow-colored aura that contained the original sins: Greed, Lust, Gluttony, Sloth, Rage, Envy and Pride .
The other one, a stinging sulphuric stench combined with a chaotic, violent aura started to burn fiercely enough to destroy the sky itself .
"You big fat bastard! Guess who!"
Kieran's voice turned into a deep, rough sound . It felt extremely unlike any being's voice and would have sounded very unsettling to anyone's ears .
Kieran soaked in the feeling though .
The first to suffer were the demon vessels around the deck . Their dull expression suddenly became delighted and compliant .
The tentacles produced from the demonic energy lay down firmly on the deck floor, as if they were bowing before Kieran .
The man drawing the magic circle looked at Kieran in utter astonishment .
"HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE? HOW?" he shouted over and over, eventually spitting a mouthful of fresh blood and shrinking on the floor . The man was still mumbling non stop .
"Blood of the Devil! Lineage of the Ancestors! How is this possible? HOW?"
No one was answering him .
Schmidt had leaped over the handrail and slid towards the second deck .
Kieran was about to confront the Hell Fiend Spider, ready to reveal the ace up his sleeve .
However, the fact that no one answered the man did not mean that no one had heard what he was muttering .
Deep inside the nest on the ferry, someone shrouded in a needle-like magical glow heard him and stopped struggling .
"Assistant, o' assistant, in the form of a raven, ominously befallen . Bird of Death with a body of chaos and a heart of light… He who will reign the land with a kingly might!"
The mysterious figure was muttering Nikorei's prophecy .
"So this is what a body of chaos and a heart of light means? He who will reign the land with a kingly might… Astonishing!" the mysterious figure said lightly before finally sighing .
"What should I choose?"
Deep in some other part of the ferry, another abnormal existence had heard the words .
Her cold heart felt a sense of delight before she gave an order to her pet .
A strange growling sound was heard once again .
Upon hearing the sound, the Hell Fiend Spider, which was confronting Kieran, started to back off . It took a quick leap towards the man who was drawing the magic circle and shrunk on the floor .
Just as the Hell Fiend Spider landed on the man's body, ready to devour him, a force field barrier appeared over the man, blocking the spider's attack .
"Huh?"
Kieran, who had been about to use [Devil Transformation] and activate [Desire Summoning], was stunned by the scene before him .
It seemed inconceivable . According to the books, the Hell Fiend Spider's devouring attack could even pierce through a God's defensive structure, let alone a magical item's force field barrier .
Yet what Kieran was witnessing was not an illusion .
"Unless… Maybe the spider is mighty in looks, but lacks any true strength?"
A sudden theory bloomed in Kieran's mind . What happened next only confirmed his theory .
Based on Kieran's judgement, the man's force field barrier could definitely not surpass a Powerful Level Defense, yet it blocked the spider's poison spit attack once again .
According to the legend, the venomous spit of the Hell Fiend Spider was enough to corrode even a godly artifact, yet it could not even melt that force field barrier .
How was that possible? The only explanation was that the Hell Fiend Spider before Kieran was not what it seemed like .
After giving some thought to how and where the spider egg had hatched, the explanation he came up with made more sense .
Even without the sulphur river as a breeding place, other methods could definitely have been used to speed up the hatching process . As a result though, the hatchling had been vastly different from a real Hell Fiend Spider .
"If that's the case…"
Kieran squinted his eyes and stopped what he was about to do .
Even with the buff [Devil Transformation] and [Desire Summoning], Kieran would still have had no hope against a real Hell Fiend Spider . Against a spider that only shared its appearance though, [Devil Transformation] and [Desire Summoning] would be a waste of his energy .
When a poison spit attack finally broke through the force field barrier of the man, the spider opened its mouth, preparing to devour the man's soul . Kieran was quicker though .
Bang!
[Python-W2] shot a wide-diameter bullet at the man, who had lost his ability to resist any more attacks . He was killed with a single shot to the head .
His brains and broken skull were scattered all over the floor .
Suddenly, a golden glowing scroll fell off the man's body .
Kieran squinted at the golden glow and shifted all his attention to the Hell Fiend Spider .
The spider was staring right back at him .
Its hunger, accompanied by a feeling of contempt, turned into the purest killing intent .
Dozens of smaller venomous spiders hurled themselves at Kieran as even more spiders gathered around the Hell Fiend Spider .
Kieran swung his great sword and smashed every single one of the spiders with its violent wind .
The rest of the venomous spiders and the Hell Fiend Spider surrounded him .
[Arrogant Word] started to tremble violently, as if the battle drums of an ancient battlefield were beating loudly .
The heavy great sword in Kieran's hands became lighter and sharper .
A dark red shine circled the great sword's body violently, an unbending, untamed aura establishing its proud presence .
[Arrogance], [Untamed]!
