Hey, Why Are My Skills so Weird!?

Chapter 71 – Attacking the Nest (3)



*BOOM!!!*
Serena’s shockwaves fell on the spider swarm. Every shockwave was like an explosive bomb that crushed dozens of spiders into a paste.
For some of the Awakened here, it was the first time seeing a high-rank Awakened in action. The destructive power of this serious-looking woman left them in shock.
They got the impression that Serena alone was enough to exterminate all the spiders if she was given enough time.
Unfortunately, the spiders did not plan to just receive her attacks without retaliating.
Even as dozens of spiders were being killed by Serena's indiscriminate attacks, the spiders behind continued rushing towards the Awakened. They did not seem to care about stepping over the dead bodies of their kin, and only advanced towards the Awakened.
Less than twenty seconds later, the } spiders swarm finally arrived in front of the Awakened.
“Prepare for the impact!” John shouted.
In the next instant, the spiders at the front jumped towards the group.
*Bam!*
The sound of the clash filled the most cowardly Awakened with fear. They watched as the spiders swung their limbs with the intention to kill the humans.
But at that moment, the Awakened at the front acted.
Led by the six Tier-Five Awakened, they blocked and killed the spiders charging towards the group.
Mary was one of them. She brandished her sword fiercely, hacking several spiders into two quickly.
Andrew, Karime, Jessica, and I plus the other members of our group followed behind her. We used our abilities to support her and kill the spiders that bypassed Mary.
But it was not easy. Not even ten seconds after the spiders attacked, one of the Awakened in our group had its neck pierced by a spider’s leg.
Mary managed to kill the spider in the next second, but that Awakened was already dead.
“Dammit!” Mary cursed as she swatted away another spider that tried to attack her.
I could hear groans of pain and terror coming from all around us. I knew that he was not the only Awakened that had died.
From the corner of my eyes, I saw another two Awakened being bitten and torn into two by the angry arachnids.
My expression became ugly, and my stomach shivered in nausea.
The smell of blood, burned insect flesh, and spider's guts made me want to vomit. I had to grit my teeth and circulate my mana to stop myself from throwing up.
The situation was worse for my friends. Jessica had already thrown up, and Karime was completely pale. They barely could use their abilities in their current states.
I cursed in my mind and attacked several spiders that tried to go near them.
“What are you doing!?” Mary shouted angrily. “Do you want to die!? If you want to throw up, throw up after the battle! Endure the nausea and fight!”
Jessica and Karime forced themselves to nod and tried to recover their composure, but even so, their combat abilities were greatly affected.
Just at that moment, my dynamic vision managed to catch a small spiderling jumping towards Jessica’s leg.
My expression changed. I barely managed to swing my spear towards the spiderling, crushing it against the ground.
But that was just the start. In the next second, more spiderlings appeared all around us.
They were the spiderlings that survived the Molotov attack!
“Be careful with the spiderlings!” Serena shouted as she used her shockwaves to crush several spiders. “They are poisonous! If they bite you, anyone below Tier 4 will be done for!”
Not even one second after she shouted that, one of the Awakened shouted in pain.
“My arm!”
He used his arm to flung away a spiderling that had bitten him, but it was already too late for him.
In the next second, his face contorted in pain, and his body twitched violently.
Then, he collapsed on the ground as the spider venom paralyzed his body.
In despair, he could only watch as another spider used its maws to tear his head off his body.
Seeing the death of that man made many of the other Awakened turn pale.
Even my expression became ashen. Seeing such a painful death made me shiver in fear.
“Dammit!” I cursed loudly and filled my left hand with lightning, using it to hit a spider’s belly and paralyze it, before finishing it with my spear.
Meanwhile, Andrew was using his metal pipe to hit all the spiders nearby. His efficiency in killing spiders was one of the best after the Tier Five Awakened. In fact, he even surpassed some Tier Five Awakened.
I did not fall behind him. Using my Lightning Seed and releasing short bursts of killing intent through Confidence, I killed every spider that entered the range of my spear. In short five minutes, I had killed over ten spiders.
In fact, the spiders were not that powerful. Most spiders were Tier 2 or below, with only a few Tier 3 spiders and even fewer Tier 4 spiders.
I would have a bit of trouble killing a Tier 4 spider, but every time one appeared, the Tier Five Awakened would focus on it, killing it before it could destroy their formation.
In other words, I only needed to deal with Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 spiders. That was perfectly in my capabilities.
The problem was the sheer number of them. They seemed like an unending flood of red eyes that surged towards us wave after wave until they finally swallow us.
My expression was solemn. I did not know how long we could endure like this.
Just at that moment, a change happened on the battlefield.
All of sudden, a spider bigger than the others fell from the sky. It landed in the middle of the Awakened, crushing one of them into a paste.
As soon as this spider appeared, the nearby Awakened trembled in fear.
“T-Tier Five…!” Someone shouted, just one second before the spider’s leg split his body from his shoulder to his loin.
“R-Run!” Another Awakened shouted, but before he could turn around, the spider used another leg to pierce his chest.
Just then, a second spider fell from the sky, killing another Awakened.
Another Tier Five Spider!
The Awakened immediately fell into chaos!
But at that moment, John, who had not made a move until now, finally acted.
“Drawing his sword, he swung it in the direction of one of the spiders, creating a blade of sword wind that cut the spider into two instantly!
Not even one second later, he swung his sword a second time, killing the second Tier Five spider!
It was the strength of a Tier Seven Awakened.
“It’s time.” John’s voice was calm. “Serena, I leave this place to you.”
“Be careful.”
“Don’t worry. It’s just a Tier Six monster. It won’t be a problem.”
As soon as John finished speaking, he narrowed his eyes.
Then, he kicked the ground, charging in the direction of the nest.
He held his sword in his hand as he rushed towards the sea of spiders, cutting every monster in his path.
A man and his sword managed to cut a path through the sea of spiders.
His goal: To kill the Spider Queen.
