44.

“Giant Spiders mainly live in the northwest of the Forest of Dreams. They receive orders from their leader, King Giant Spider. If you defeat the King, the rest of his subordinates will become docile.”

Titania briefly told Chris and his group about the giant spider horde.

“Okay. Just trust us. But keep your promise to become a summon if we defeat King Giant Spider.”

“Don’t worry about that.”

The Fairy King Oberon opened his mouth.

“I have something to give you.”

Oberon ordered his servant fairy to bring him something.

Soon a servant came carrying a large bow.

The bow was made of wood, and was splendid with a floral design carved in relief and gilded.

The mana that was gushing out from the bow in small streams made it seem like it wasn’t an ordinary bow.

“This bow is a legendary weapon called the Forest’s Fury. I wish you humans would take it and use it.”

“It seems like a precious bow, but what abilities does it have?”

“This bow has the ability to inflict severe critical damage to insect, fairy, and plant monsters. If you use the magic arrow three times a day, you cannot use it until the next day, but even so, it is an item that the ancestors of the fairy tribe considered too dangerous and forbade its use.”

“Can you give us such a precious bow?”

Oberon also had a complicated expression.

“The Giant Spider is definitely not an opponent to be underestimated. With this bow, you have a chance of winning. And since our ancestors prohibited the use of this bow only for the fairies, it is okay for you humans to use it.”

Chris thought Oberon was interpreting his ancestors’ rules rather conveniently, but he didn’t say anything.

In any case, there was no reason to refuse the loan of a powerful weapon.

“But what if there are no archers among us?”

Chris tilted his head.

Chris, the summoner, and Riel, the healer.

I looked at Ray, wondering if it was possible.

“Krrrr. This body is more comfortable clawing at enemies than using such a cumbersome weapon.”

It was difficult because Ray refused.

I finally got a precious bow, but there’s no one to handle it.

“Hey… Actually, I can handle a bow.”

It was Lily who spiraled.

“Oh? Really?”

What can’t Supermaid Lily do?

“When I was trained as a spy, I learned how to handle various weapons. I can handle a bow to some extent.”

“Okay. Then Lily, take on the role of archer for a moment.”

Lily received the Forest Fury Bow from Chris and slung it on her back.

“Can I get a practice bow? You said there are only 3 arrows, so I want to shoot a few times with the practice bow to get a feel for it.”

Oberon ordered his servant to escort Lily to the shooting range.

“I’ll practice for about an hour and come back.”

As expected, Lily was very well-prepared.

#

After resting for about an hour, Chris and his group headed to the shooting range.

“Lily, have you practiced?”

“Yes, that’s enough.”

Lily said, wiping the sweat off her face with a towel.

The target, 500 meters away, was littered with arrows, all of which fell within a few yards of the central red dot.

‘Hmm. As expected, our house maid is amazing. If it’s going to be like this, wouldn’t it be better to go out and become an adventurer rather than a maid?’

Chris looked at Lily in thought.

“It feels great to be able to shoot an arrow to my heart’s content after such a long time.“

Chris and his group finished preparing and decided to leave.

The path to the Giant Spider’s domain was to be continued by his cousin the Unicorn.

-Hehehe!

The cousin unicorn said that the entire forest of dreams was in danger and he couldn’t just sit still.

Chris and his group moved through the forest again in search of the Giant Spider’s territory.

After walking for a while, the surrounding scenery began to change.

There were spiderwebs on the trees and dead animal carcasses hanging here and there from the webs.

“Hmm… From here on out, it’s clearly the Giant Spider’s territory. Everyone should be careful.”

At Ray’s words, everyone held their weapons tightly and moved forward while keeping a close eye on their surroundings.

How far forward did we go?

-Keeeek!

With a scream, a giant spider spewed webs towards Chris and his group.

“Ouch!”

Riel, who was in the rear, was attacked by a spider web and was unable to move.

“Liel Youngae! Just hold on a little longer. I’ll save you soon.”

Chris ordered Ray and the Unicorn to attack the Giant Spider.

As powerful as the Giant Spider was, it couldn’t win against Chris’s two summons.

The giant spider soon died from a hole in its torso.

“Lily, do you have anything to cut the web with?”

“I just happen to have a pocket knife.”

Lily took a knife out of her backpack and handed it to Chris.

Sizzle sizzle, Chris cut through the spider web with his knife and rescued Riel.

“Are you okay? Are you really surprised?”

“Yes… I survived thanks to you. Thank you. Chris Youngsik.”

Ray looked around the forest.

“Since we’ve made a fuss about fighting the Giant Spider here, the King Giant Spider, the ruler of this area, must have noticed our arrival. We have to be very careful because he might attack us with his men at any moment.”

Riel approached the unicorn and Ray with his staff in hand.

“Both of you are slightly poisoned. I will cure you with magic.”

The giant spider’s horns were coated with a weak venom. It seemed that I had been poisoned without realizing it as I kept bumping into it while fighting.

“Um. Please.”

“Antidot Execute!”

A green light came out of Riel’s magic wand and enveloped the unicorn and Ray’s bodies.

“I’ll also cast a resistance spell that makes it difficult for status abnormal attacks to penetrate.”

Riel cast Goddess’s Protection, a skill exclusive to High Sisters.

Riel’s staff created wings of light.

The Wings of Light split into two pairs and flew towards Ray and Unicorn, wrapping themselves around each of them.

This technique was a fraud technique that gave resistance to various status abnormal attacks and restored health for a certain period of time.

“Okay! Let’s go again!”

After resting for about 10 minutes, Chris and his group moved on to find the King Giant Spider again.

After moving for a while, the trees suddenly started shaking violently.

“What? Is there an earthquake?”

It wasn’t an earthquake.

It was the sound of a swarm of giant spiders rushing towards Chris and his group.

“Ugh!”

Six giant spiders suddenly surrounded Chris and his group.

-Keeeek!

There was a giant spider that seemed to be the leader of the group, and he seemed to be twice the size of the others.

Maybe the guy was the ‘king’.

“I feel a strong sense of fraud from that guy.”

Chris took a closer look at the King Giant Spider after Ray’s words. He could see a black crystal embedded in the center of the creature’s front chest.

“As expected, King Giant Spider was also brainwashed by the black crystal.”

I had no choice but to fight.

If possible, he didn’t want to take the life of the King Giant Spider, who was only controlled by the Black Crystal, but in the urgent situation, he didn’t have the time to think deeply about such things.

“Ray, please give me a unicorn!”

“Chris, Lily, and Riel, run away as fast as you can. I don’t think we’ll have time to fight while protecting your own safety.”

Lily pulled out a dagger.

“Don’t worry. I will protect you, my lord.”

-Hehehe!

The cousin unicorn also said that he would help fight.

“Thank you!”

Ray and the Unicorn began to flutter in the center, trying to attract the attention of the six giant spiders.

“Dragon Nail!”

-Hehehe!

Ray and the Unicorn attacked the monsters indiscriminately.

But there were too many enemies, so it seemed like Ray and Unicorn would lose if they kept fighting.

Chris looked at Lily and said.

“In this case, you should take down the leader first to lower the will of the subordinates to fight. Lily, aim for King Giant Spider with Forest Fury Bow.”

“Okay, but it’s hard to hit a moving target exactly. You need to hold the movement to some extent.”

Chris nodded.

“We’ll try to figure that out somehow.”

“I have a way!”

Riel stepped forward.

“I’m learning the ‘Slow’ spell, which slows down the movements of enemy monsters. If you can hold out until I finish casting, you can stop King Giant Spider’s movements for a while.”

“Okay! Then I’ll ask you right now.”

Riel immediately entered the slow magic spell.

A magic circle formed beneath Riel’s feet and magical power began to gather in his staff.

However, the magic spell draws mana violently, making it easy to spot.

Even though they were stupid monsters, I could tell that Riel was trying to do something dangerous.

-Keeeek!

King Spider ordered his men to kill Riel first.

“Unicorn, Ray! You have to protect Riel until she casts her magic!”

At Chris’s shout, Ray and Unicorn intensified their attacks to prevent the giant spiders from reaching Riel as much as possible.

Ray took charge of three giant spiders and one unicorn and one unicorn relative to each other to prevent them from approaching Riel.

But that was the limit.

King Giant Spider cleverly avoided the summons and approached Riel.

“Ouch!”

Boom, boom, boom!

King Giant Spider rushed at Riel at a speed that was hard to imagine for such a large body.

King Giant Spider raised his forelegs and struck Riel down.

“Riel! Focus on the window!”

Chris stood in front of Riel.

Kaang!

Chris deflected King Giant Spider’s attack with his summoning staff.

The summoning staff was made by Jude Delun from Orichalcum, so it was impervious to most attacks.

But Chris’s body wasn’t like that.

Even though he trained hard like Ray, there was no way Chris, who had a magician’s combat job, could withstand King Giant Spider’s attacks for long.

“Eww!”

But Chris hung on to King Giant Spider with determination.

-Keeeek!

The giant spider slapped Chris with its front paw as if it was annoyed.

Chris was thrown far away and fell to the ground.

As the King Giant Spider obstacle disappeared, he turned his head to attack Riel.

at that time,

Riel’s magic is complete.

“Slow Execute!”

Kookookookookung!

King Giant Spider felt as if something invisible was weighing down his entire body.

King Giant Spider was unable to move his body as if time had stopped and could only writhe.

“Back off! I’ll catch you!”

Lily aimed an arrow from her ‘Forest Fury’ bow at the King Giant Spider.
