episode_0033

When I dug a tunnel into the wall of a large space and was able to expose my face to the outside, what I discovered was an incomprehensible, extraordinary sight.

“There!! Walk this way!! Can’t you hear me!!”

“Ah… sick… The wound… … ”

The voice of a girl collapsing, screaming in pain, was echoing throughout the cavity.

The girl’s feet were bare, and the soles of her feet were probably bruised because of that, but she started shaking her legs and eventually collapsed into her seat.

However, the man dressed like a bandit, who was looking at her indifferently, or rather, with an angry expression, walked up to her and slapped her in the face.

“Aaagh!!”

But those two were not the only humans existing in that cavity.

Rather, it is a situation where hundreds of people are gathered together and moving according to instructions.

Not only were there dozens of men dressed as bandits, but there were almost as many people who seemed to be under their control as the girl, but no one seemed to come forward even after seeing this scene before their eyes.

“Have you forgotten why you are here? ok?

What I’m saying is don’t whine and do it right!!”

“Augh!! evil!! sorry… !!”

“Hey!! This is too bad… !!”

Still, in the end, as if it was not enough, a woman and a man came forward one by one, each hugging a girl, and blocking the way of the man dressed in bandanas.

“Why are you guys here… under… done… … ”

The man had a very heated expression as he glared at the two men and women, but he soon let out a small sigh and turned around.

People’s expressions brightened a little when they saw that, but only for a moment.

The man, who quickly turned around, seemed to stop in a simple posture with strong wind pressure.

“Uh… … ”

The man was taken aback when he saw the bandit man’s fast speed, but his panic lasted only for a moment before he collapsed in his seat helplessly.

“Aaaaa!!”

“Ugh.. Ugh!!”

The only thing that showed what had happened to him was the sight of red blood oozing from underneath the man’s body as he collapsed and writhed on the floor.

The people who panicked at the sight were quickly beaten and subdued by people who appeared to be part of a gang of bandit men.

‘That… It’s really inhumane… … ‘

This is also a space inside the academy.

While a peaceful learning environment for students was being created on one side, was this happening in this miniature forest on the other side?

People are showing wildly different reactions.

Someone was calmly observing the reactions of those around them, someone was intensely afraid of the situation in front of them, and someone seemed to be gritting their teeth as if they were holding back anger.

But their different appearances had one thing in common: subtle physical appearances that were not noticeable at first.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve been treated like a mercenary by demi-humans making me this annoying!!

I like it very much!! I think it would be okay if I killed him right away!!”

“Hey, just do it in moderation. Even so, he is an asset to the Academy.

I don’t want to waste money for no reason.”

“Because you treat them so softly, these bitches don’t understand what you’re saying.

When working, you need to set the mood appropriately at first. Isn’t that right, bitch?”

“Ugh… ah… iced coffee..!! Ahhh… !!”

The appearance of a mercenary approaching the woman who was embracing her as if protecting her.

As I saw something twitching above the woman’s head, I wondered if the wind was blowing inside and blowing her hair.

However, as the mercenary approached the woman, grabbed it and lifted it upwards, I was able to immediately understand what it was.

The woman’s sobbing scream, as if her flesh was being torn apart, was echoing in the cavity.

‘That… ear… … ?’

The being called the demi-human that the mercenary mentioned earlier.

It refers to pseudo-humans, or a subspecies of humans, and is also the most common symbol that comes to mind when talking about fantasy.

The woman let out a sad scream, her long ears resembling those of a captured rabbit.

The tip seemed to be fluttering and writhing randomly, perhaps in response to pain, and from that, I was able to understand, to some extent, the scene before my eyes.

The academy plans to use demi-humans who were brought here as slaves or equivalents to conduct evaluations to improve the students’ skills.

‘Vivian said that Ain appeared in last year’s special evaluation…

Perhaps those demi-humans are also the opponents of this special evaluation.’

However, one thing I didn’t understand was that overall, there was a mix of demi-humans with various feelings that could only be considered combat opponents.

The woman who was screaming with her ears held, and the girl who was sobbing and holding out her hands, perhaps feeling guilty looking at her like that, didn’t look like they had ever fought.

‘There are not just one or two people like this… ‘

Some other types of demi-humans who showed hostility but could not bear to attack the mercenaries seemed capable of fighting right away, but they seemed to think that they had to endure this situation because there was an unavoidable difference in level with the mercenaries.

“Making the test unnecessarily complicated.

I just need to solve that one thing instead of these things.”

“In their own way, they probably want to give them a task to accomplish.

I don’t think it’s completely incomprehensible.”

‘that… … ?’

A strange curiosity began to arise in my mind as I listened to the mercenaries talking about stories that only they knew, but my attention was focused again on the situation that followed.

“Ha!! Well-bred master, do you think young ladies can deal with something like that?

There is no meaning in doing an assignment unless we eat as much as we can… …

Come to think of it, this bitch’s face is red? Is it estrus?”

It was the appearance of a woman who started to hide her red face in shock even as she screamed at a single muttered word from the mercenary.

“Ah? You came out because you wanted to get attention from this older brother, right?

If it was something like that, of course it would give you infinite interest. Come here!!”

“Ahhh!! Poetry… I hate it… !! Hmm… … !!”

The mercenary’s eyes filled with dark intentions flashed, and he began to drag the woman. Although she desperately resisted, the pain of being grabbed by the rabbit ears seemed to be greater than expected, and the woman ended up being dragged away.

“Can’t we just go to Changgwan later?

What if I accidentally touch something and something happens?”

“There’s not much left until the date anyway.

It’s disposable, so what’s the big deal?

Well, then it’s all wrapped up outside.

I’m coming back soon? Next time, you too.”

“A furry bastard. Finish it quickly and come back.”

“Ugh… Don’t do this… !!

please!! Someone help me… Ah!!”

The mercenary, who had been joking with his colleague next to him, dragged the frightened rabbit-eared woman, still holding her ears, to a door in the corner of what appeared to be a dormitory, and silence began to fill the space again.

‘The situation is getting tough… … ‘

As I was literally looking down at the current harsh situation from the hole at the top of the wall, I felt like I was getting heavier, so I slowly backed up and started to hide into the hole.

‘But I’ve already figured out the situation, and I know roughly what to do.’

As I was digging the tunnel, walking around this dungeon facility, and starting to understand its complex yet regular structure, my mind seemed to be slowly sinking into anger for some unknown reason.

.

‘good. I think this is enough to understand the terrain to some extent.

From the dungeon entrance to the secret passage inside… ‘

Now, I was trying to completely conquer the dungeon by mobilizing the kernel worms that had been digging tunnels in the center of the academy. I had the two kernel worms wander around diligently and tried to understand the terrain as thoroughly as possible.

According to the structure of this dungeon, which was so large that it could fit a soccer field, it was a common format with rooms connected by passages, but it seemed to have the advantage of being able to utilize such a large space.

To put it the other way, the passage was short and narrow, which meant that I might be able to use it.

‘good. Then, if you dig a tunnel like a trap, the person trapped there will be…

But the problem is… How should we deal with those people… … ?’

The problem started from there.

The idea of making a big splash was a good idea, but unless it had tentacles, it couldn’t transport people.

I had to dispatch my subordinates because I couldn’t move the main body, but what they could do was limited.

In some ways, my preparedness is ambiguous, but isn’t it inevitable that growth itself will be delayed in the first place?

I needed a way to solve it using everything I could right now.

‘Should we make it like a slide and make it slide into the newly created cavity at the bottom?’

The good news is that I am from a human background and can use my brain to that extent.

‘Then, first of all, we need to create a community to gather people… … ‘

After choosing what I thought was the best choice, I remembered that there was a suitable room on the lowest level of the terrain I had identified, and began to dig hard.

‘Seeing as no vibrations were felt here, it seems like a warehouse-like place where hardly anyone comes.

Then, make all the hallway traps connect like a spider web here.

It’s a spider web… … I like that… … ‘

The idea is to drown all the prey in the den.

I slowly thought about what to do with the captured prey later, and made the best choice I could with what I had.

That was the moment when I poked my head through the wall of the lowest floor room I was aiming for.

Unable to move from the freezing life that felt like an instinct for a moment, I was dragged out of the hole in the wall as if pulled out by something unknown.

The strong grip was grasping the kernel worm as if it would explode at any moment, and the interlocking pain made me shake my body like an earthworm trampled by a shoe, expressing my pain.

But at that moment, as if there was an echo effect, a creepy voice shook my body and my movements began to freeze again.

“Oh my? A pretty cute prey was caught by chance?”

‘why… !! No vibration here… … !! ah… !!’

As the voice echoed in the narrow room, the echo returned to my sense organs, and only then was I able to see the structure of the room as if it had been scanned, and when I confirmed it, I froze in place.

Something floating in the air of the room.

No, it’s not in the air, but it’s a being that wiggles its long, smooth, shiny, hard legs on threads so thin that even the delicate sense organs that detect echoes can’t detect them.

The being was riding on a spider web that absorbed all shock and had a camouflage-like effect, so I just couldn’t feel its presence.

She is impressive with her passionate red hair that grows long enough to cover her waist, and her blood-red eyes that look like jewels.

And, the being that could be described as literally fatal, as beautiful as a deadly poison that sweetly poisons men, had a lower body made of a hard black exoskeleton unique to spiders.

It looked like it was laughing as it walked on a spider web, with a round, smooth but moderately sized belly attached to its back, and spider legs attached to its lower body, which looked exactly like the head and chest of a spider.

“I was starving for a long time… Now I can finally fill my stomach… ”

When one of the two hands with sharp fingernails growing from her woman’s upper body began to approach slowly as if to cut open my stomach, it was only then that one of the contents of the monster encyclopedia that Carla had read came to me from memory.

A failure of Cao Xing’s human experiments and a mutant that should never have been born.

The overall size itself wasn’t that great, but the being that was described as extremely dangerous, with the upper body of an ordinary woman and the lower body of a spider that was twice as long as the upper body, was looking down at me with captivating eyes and feasting on me. .

‘Arachnella… … !!’
