Chapter 121- Custom Dungeon (Part 1)

*Swish*

Rin's body passed like a flash and landed behind the spider gracefully.

*Drop*

A second later, the monster dropped down to the ground with his head decapitated and blue blood oozing out of the severed neck. Rin's dagger was so fast that normal people won't be able to see the blade slicing through the neck and cutting it off so seamlessly.

However, Rin wasn't happy at all. In fact, he looked at his arm and clicked his tongue.

'Tsk… It injured me.'

On his arm, there was a small, freshly-made cut that was oozing out blood. The spider was able to use its sharp legs to injure Rin. Its speed was so surprising that it took Rin aback.

"Raaa!!"

However, he didn't have time to actually think about that as the swarm of spiders surrounded him. Their cold eyes kept sizing Rin up. They didn't try to attack instantly as they seem to be smart enough to understand that this human wasn't as simple as they thought he was. He had killed one of their kind easily, after all.

'If you aren't going to attack, then I will.' A small smile crept to his face.

*Swish*

Speeding up to the closest spider, Rin stabbed with his dagger toward its eyes. But, the spider didn't stand idly and let him do whatever he wanted. Using its legs that are as sharp as blades, it swung it horizontally, aiming to cut Rin into two pieces.

The attack was decisive and vicious. Meanwhile, other spiders also jumped on Rin, ready to cut him into small parts.

Rin saw that and quickly changed his plan. Using the momentum from the stab, he twisted around and used the dagger to stop one of the upcoming attacks.

*Cling*

Shards of fire flew everywhere as the dagger clashed with the spider's leg. But, the monster didn't stop there and lifted one of the 5 left legs in the air to attack Rin while he was busy fending off the other leg. Meanwhile, other spiders were also attacking him from all sides.

'Too annoying.' He thought as he activated one of his skills.

'Formless Ghost Dagger.'

*Swish*

His body blurred as his speed and strength increased exponentially. Without wasting another moment, Rin body moved quickly.

*Swish*

Everything seemingly slowed down to a halt. The sharp blades that were coming toward him were basically moving at a snail's pace.

Rin's instantly dodged everything and slashed with his dagger at one of the spiders. His movements were so precise and graceful akin to a swordmaster.

*Swish*

A second later, the whole world returned to normal.

"RAAAA!!"

*Clang* *Clang*

Because of Rin's move, their legs collided violently. Teh pain from the hits made them screech loudly.

*Drop*

The unluckiest one dropped dead on the ground with a hole poked into its face. Blood sprayed the rocky ground and tarnished Rin's clothes. However, the latter couldn't care less about that.

'An opportunity!'

While the spiders were struggling to release themselves, Rin could easily attack them while they were vulnerable.

Flexing his muscles, the veins on his arm popped as he clenched the dagger tightly. Then, he quickly slashed and stabbed multiple times.

Each slash hit its target as he sliced the spiders' bodies open. The damage wasn't lethal enough to kill them instantly but it would still end their lives the longer they kept bleeding out.

However, that also meant that Rin had to fight them off in their rampage.

*Tak*

Eventually, their legs were released and they screeched violently. Rin felt his ears ringing from the sheer loudness of the sounds. 𝘧r𝑒𝘦𝒘𝘦𝙗novel.𝐜o𝒎

He felt his head spinning from pain as if he was span around countless times.

'Is this a skill?!' He thought as he clenched his teeth.

*Swish* *Swish* *Swish*

The sharp blades didn't wait for him to regain his composure as they viciously moved in to end him while he was struggling.

Was it not for the fact that he wasn't aware that these spiders had a skill that affects sounds, he would've not stayed closer to them? It was a mistake on his side to ignore the possibility of such an ability being present. Even though he didn't have a prior idea about what these spiders had or what they can do, for Rin, that ability is nothing but a bonus as not only does it not work on all enemies, but it also doesn't show everything all the time.

And the consequences of that mistake appeared instantly.

"Ugh!"

Trying to dodge all the spider legs, Rin got hit by one of the spiders when he was trying to bend to the side. A deep wound appeared on the side of his torso. The pain from the hit was strong but he ignored it. There was no time to focus on that.

Jumping back, Rin tried to create a distance between himself and the spiders. However, because of their high agility, the spiders would instantly close the distance with him. They didn't give a room to breathe as they would instantly swarm him like flies.

'There are too many spiders!'

While 3 or 4 of them could be easily handled, a swarm of 13 spiders was a different story. Even his strength which was above even his rank can't face easily against this number of E-Rank monsters without sustaining some injuries. The fight wasn't as easy as it seemed to be.

'I need to find a plan to kill as many of them as possible in a moment. Reducing their numbers would help a lot.' Rin thought as he looked around him while still moving around.

*Swish* *Swish* *Swish *BOOOOOM*

Swarms of slashes kept raining over him never allowing him to stop for a second. Throughout this one-sided rampage, Rin sustained small cuts all over his body and some bruises on his arms. He felt the urge to use his shadow manipulation but he quickly erased that thought as he had promised to keep that matter a secret no matter what.

Even though he trusts Emilia to a certain extent, he wasn't dumb enough to tell her about that secret especially when he knew that he could instantly become a suspect of being one of the cult members.

He wasn't ready to risk doing that.

So, with that in mind, he had no other choice but to find another way to do this. Coincidentally, Rin's eyes fell on something and a smile crept to his face. A plan quickly manifested in his head.

'It should work, probably. I just need to not make a mistake or I'm fucked! Well, I'm fucked either way!! Shit!'

Evading another attack, a spider used the sound-altering skill to halt Rin's annoying movements and find an opportunity to finish him off.

After making sure he knew what he needed to do exactly, he shifted the direction he was running in. The sudden change made Emilia, who was watching from the sidelines raise her eyebrows.

'What is this brat thinking of?'

She could clearly see that he created a plan but she couldn't predict what it was which made her even more interested in it.

Rin ran diagonally from one side of the tunnel to the other side of the tunnel before jumping on the wall. His body span in the air as it loomed over the monsters.

*Bang*

The swarm of spiders rushed after him and tried to pull him down from the air. But, they missed one detail. Because of their huge numbers and the narrow tunnel, their bodies collided against each other which led to a majority of the creatures smashing against the wall violently.

The whole place shook because of the strong collision as bits and pieces of debris and rocks fell down from the ceiling.

When Rin landed again, he quickly dashed toward the other side again followed by the even more enraged spiders. They were already irritated but with what happened, they were even angrier by now. The desire to kill Rin became their sole goal. They even forgot about the idea of eating him as a delicious meal.

"I'm here, little spideys. How about you try and get a piece of this juicy meat?" He said sarcastically with a provocative grin.

He was clearly trying to make them even crazed and it worked wonderfully.

"RAAAAAAAAAAA!"

"RAAAAAAAAAA!!!"

Not caring about their well-being anymore, they chased him as they kept hitting each other and colliding with each other. Most of them ended up hitting the wall multiple times and the ceiling kept cracking ever-so-slowly.

The debris that was falling increased in number and quantity. At this point, the whole ground was filled with it.

After a tedious 3 minutes of running around and baiting the spiders into hitting the wall with their thick skins and strong exoskeleton, Rin looked up and assessed the plan. His grin grew even wider as he positioned himself in the middle of the tunnel and faced the spiders. Stretching his arms.

"Here I am. Come here and eat me." He said.

*Swish*

Instantly, countless monsters jumped on him crazily, ready to end him.

'Checkmate.'
