Chapter 714: It’s My Turn
Now, the nine caretakers summoned by Lin Qiye, although only at the “Chuan” level with low combat power, possess extremely strong abilities to hinder and disrupt enemies. The combined efforts of these nine caretakers are enough to obstruct the few demons present.
Amidst the blazing flames, Lin Qiye and his two companions dashed forward. Wei Dong fired his pixel pistol continuously, reducing all the walls blocking their path to pixelated rubble, advancing straight toward the target wall.
The three moved at incredible speed, and within a minute, they had traversed numerous rooms, arriving at the wall where the spider-woman, the Jorogumo, was located.
At this moment, the half-spider woman had climbed to the top of the room, her spider legs clinging to the ceiling. Upon seeing Lin Qiye and his companions, she charged at them with astonishing speed, her steel-like spider silk ricocheting around the room, instantly weaving into a massive web.
The three stood before the room, halting simultaneously.
“Does she have the ‘key’ on her?”
Amiya Seihui turned to Lin Qiye, knowing that Lin Qiye had sensing abilities that could locate the “key” from a distance.
Lin Qiye scanned the Jorogumo with his mental power and shook his head. “She doesn’t have it…”
Amiya Seihui’s brows furrowed immediately. Just then, Lin Qiye spoke again, “However, the original prophecy states ‘at the base of the Jorogumo’s statue.’ This refers to the location where her statue was before her revival, which is inside the wall, not the Jorogumo herself.
In the crevice of that wall, there is a 50-yen coin. I don’t know if that is the so-called ‘key,’ but we have no other options now.”
“A 50-yen coin?” Wei Dong was taken aback, as if recalling something. “I once came across a Japanese legend that said a 50-yen coin carries people’s wishes. If you toss it and it lands with the chrysanthemum side up, it means the wish can be fulfilled…”
“Let’s give it a try.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the Jorogumo let out a shriek, and countless strands of spider silk danced in the air. The surface of these silks emitted a chilling blade-like gleam, cutting through the surrounding walls and turning them into a storm of debris. A spider silk storm was brewing around the Jorogumo.
“What should we do now?” Wei Dong turned to Lin Qiye.
“You guys hold her off for a moment while I go get the coin,” Lin Qiye’s gaze fixed on the wall. “The spider silk here is too dense; you don’t have the spatial abilities to get through. I have to go… This ‘mystery’ is at the Klein level; we don’t need to confront it head-on. Just hold on until I return.”
Hold off a “Klein” level mystery?
Wei Dong felt a headache coming on.
He was a “paratrooper” and lacked the ability to fight against such a high-level “mystery.” After all, his tasks usually took place within the “human circle.” With the equipment he had, it was nearly impossible to hold off the Klein-level Jorogumo.
As for the other wielder of the Hozuki blade… he couldn’t even use the Hozuki blade. Even if he risked losing it, he could only strike once. How could he buy time?
Amiya Seihui seemed to have thought of something and turned to Lin Qiye, hesitating to speak. “Then I…”
“Perhaps we can try that move we thought of before entering the ruins,” Lin Qiye understood what he wanted to say and nodded. “Right now, we have no other choice.”
Amiya Seihui paused. “Okay.”
Hearing their conversation, Wei Dong felt a bit lost, but the situation no longer allowed him to think too much. The storm of spider silk was already flying toward them!
Without hesitation, he threw the pixel grenade in his hand directly ahead. With the explosion of the pixel grenade, a large portion of the spider silk dissipated into pixels. At the same time, Lin Qiye’s figure transformed into a shadow and vanished, quickly flashing toward the wall behind the Jorogumo!
Wei Dong had only one grenade. Although it destroyed most of the spider silk, as long as the Jorogumo was alive, the silk would continue to regenerate. Moments later, another wave of spider silk flew toward the two!
Click.
Amiya Seihui slightly bent his body, resting his palm on the hilt of his deep blue long knife, his eyes filled with seriousness.
He had only one chance to strike.
The storm of spider silk emitted a chilling gleam, silently slicing through the air. The fierce wind made Wei Dong’s cheeks sting; he was mere moments away from being sliced by the nearby spider silk. He instinctively took a step back and couldn’t help but say to Amiya Seihui beside him:
“What are you waiting for? If you don’t strike now, we’re both dead!”
The swirling spider silk severed a lock of Amiya Seihui’s hair. A glint of cold light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and with a soft sound, the 【Yubun】 at his waist was drawn in an instant!
Endless rainwater surged from the scabbard, clinging to the deep blue blade, coalescing into a menacing water dragon that coiled around Amiya Seihui.
“【Water Dragon’s Canopy】.”
Amiya Seihui spoke in a low voice, and the deep blue blade slashed forward in an instant. The water dragon behind him emitted a faint blue glow, howling as it charged toward the Jorogumo, who was at the center of the spider silk storm!
Droplets of rainwater collided with the spider silk, producing a sound like metal clashing, and the rising mist engulfed Amiya Seihui’s figure, while the spider silk that filled the space before him and Wei Dong was shattered piece by piece!
Whoosh—!
At that moment, a flash of black and white light flickered beneath Amiya Seihui’s feet. The 【Yubun】 in his hand, along with its scabbard, seemed to be pulled by some powerful force, suddenly slipping from his grasp!
Even though Amiya Seihui was prepared and held onto the 【Yubun】 tightly, he was powerless against this mysterious force. He could only watch helplessly as the blade flew away from him, vanishing into the void.
The 【Yubun】 was gone.
Amiya Seihui’s heart sank to his throat as he turned to the other side.
At this moment, Lin Qiye had already flashed to the back of the Jorogumo. He punched through the broken wall, and amidst the flying debris, his mental power locked onto a 50-yen coin dancing within, grasping it in his palm. He then turned and transformed into a shadow, approaching Amiya Seihui and Wei Dong.
The Jorogumo seemed to sense something, redirecting her target toward Lin Qiye, who was flickering among the dense spider silk, and let out another furious roar!
As hundreds of spider silk strands shot toward him, Lin Qiye narrowed his eyes. He extended his hand and pressed in the air, causing a magic circle to bloom before him.
When the magical light faded, a deep blue long knife was quietly held in his hand.
It was the 【Yubun】, which had just been taken away by an unknown force!
【Summoning Magic】.
Lin Qiye swiftly maneuvered through the spider silk, his right hand resting on the hilt at his waist, and suddenly pulled it out with force!
“My turn now…” Lin Qiye held the 【Yubun】 and murmured, “【Water Dragon’s Canopy】!”
The deep blue blade light mixed with endless swirling rainwater, instantly piercing through all the spider silk around Lin Qiye, the droplets transforming into a dragon, forcefully cutting a path through the mist!
