“Hyaaaaah.”
A man my age shouldn’t be screaming like this, but I can’t help it. A swarm of spiders the size of puppies is rapidly approaching. I can’t. I really can’t handle this. Let’s just run to the pipe and get away.
Thankfully, they don’t seem like the type of spider magic beast that shoots string, but they’re fast. No, I’m slow. Surely a seeker with normal stats would outrun them.
I feel like they will catch me if I keep running, so I need a different plan. For now, I will fight back against the ones that get close.
My stock is one rock cannon, one rock shotgun, two air bullets, and one coffee bullet. I’m testing the Time Delay feature on the coffee. In any case I will fire a rock cannon where they are gathered.
“Higiiiiii.”
Ooh, I managed to pierce ten of them.
Then I fire the rock shotgun, and the ones coming after the ones that fell spray purple liquid as they also fall. Success.
Then I reconstruct the Storage spaces I fired. I just got two more levels, meaning two more Storage Gates, bringing me to a total of seven. Construct, construct… And use the pebbles in the bag. Uwah, I think I might fall… I manage to stay on my feet, but I drop the bag. This is terrible. Wah. They’re close. They’re right in front of me.
I fire my (half loaded) rock shotgun, and then an air bullet. Air bullet. Air bullet. Air bullet. Air bullet. Air bullet.
Great, that’s all the ones that were drawing near. I’ll run back through the pipe… Ah, one went around me and got inside the pipe. And this one is bigger than the others. It’s as big as a bear. Construct the Storage Gates… It’s too close, I won’t make it. Fire the hot coffee bullet!
“Piigiiiiiii… I…. I… I…”
Oh? Did the coffee bullet dull its movements? What is the meaning of this?
The giant spider starts struggling slowly… No, the other ones have slowed down as well, I’m the only one moving normally. Anyway, let’s go around the giant spider and into the pipe.
“Giiii.”
Ah, it’s back to normal. It lasted about ten seconds after the hot coffee bullet, I think. The giant spider is still writhing. Anyway, I bought some time, so let’s run. Now I don’t have to worry about the worst case scenario, being surrounded.
But what just happened? Was it the hot coffee… No, I think it was the Time Delay function of that Storage Gate. Did that function get ejected like the air is when I shoot air bullets? That is what it feels like. I didn’t slow down, but that was probably made that way so people don’t slow down when they put their hands inside a Storage Gate with the Time Delay effect.
“Pigiiiiii.”
The giant spider is mad. It’s scary. It goes inside the t
pipe, with the rest pouring after it, but I’m ready. I have seven Storage Gates ready to go, along with a Time Delay. I dropped the pebbles, but I have rocks for the rock cannons… Let’s first cancel the Time Delay Storage Gate.
“Pigi… I… I… I… I…”
I see, that is it. Everything slows down except me. It felt like it lasted ten seconds the first time, so let’s take aim before it runs out.
The pipe is straight, so if I fire straight ahead, I probably won’t break it. I’m sorry if it curves somewhere.
I fixate six of my gates, and…
“Cancel Storage!”
All six fire rock cannons that hit the giant spider and the rest. All of them are mowed down. This is really incredible. Chunks of their flesh fly in the air, also moving slowly. Some of the little ones get away, but I shoot them with air bullets, with the last one going down just before the effect of Time Delay ends.
I level up twice more, meaning I’m now level nine, and have nine Storage Gates.
I want to collect magic stones, but… Wah, reinforcements are coming. I’ll just pick the exposed magic stone of the big spider and get out of here.
It’s a waste to leave the rest, and I’m curious about whether I could’ve beaten the rest of the spiders, but my life comes first. Let’s just go back.
I finished my job for today.

After an intense battle, Zenjurou makes it back to the surface.
He gained a lot, but realizes what he lacks
What shall he do? Make up for what he lacks. For that reason, he has coin.
And he will head to…
“The giant spider is mad. It’s scary. It goes inside the t
pipe, with the rest pouring after it, ”
T pipe?
The giant spider is mad. It’s scary. It goes inside the t pipe -> The giant spider is mad. It’s scary. It goes inside the pipe
He needs to get some armor for better protection.
Thanks.
