Chapter 37 Spider Witch
Paff!
With an indifferent gaze, Luna watched coldly as Cade's body fell forward with a gaping hole in his chest, one that was big enough to push one's fist through without much struggle.
"Y-You... Wh-Who the fuck are you!" stuttering from fear, T quickly took several steps backward, only to feel his back bump into the wall behind him.
Even T's boss showed a grave expression at this moment, despite him being an individual who could keep his cool during the majority of crises without much difficulty!
Luna gazed at the corpse in front of her feet for a second before she glanced at her right hand, which at this moment had a long, sharp, and blood-covered bone piercing out of it.
Though, despite that, it seemed Luna felt nothing, not even the slightest amount of pain which made her look even more terrifying.
"B-Boss! T-This bitch is crazy! Let's get out of here!" T turned his head to the side, but it seemed that was the biggest mistake in his life as the very next second everything around him began to spin before turning black.
Paff!
"That's three, only one remains," Luna spoke with a calm, but eerily cold tone while she threw T's head she has just cut down to the side, ignoring the blood that splattered all over her clothes and coat.
The last guy, and also the former leader of the group whose name, in fact, was Jack, showed a deep frown before showing an amused smile.
"Damn, look at ya girl! Ya definitely one of a kind, there is no question about that!"
Luna turned her cold gaze at Jack and the disgust within her eyes became even more visible than before.
Whoosh!
"Hoho! Hey! That was a pretty close one!" tilting his head to the side just in time to avoid his forehead getting penetrated by the sharp bone coming out of Luna's palm, Jack smiled and quickly jumped several meters backward.
"Can't we just calm down and talk? There is no reason for us to spill our blood for no reason, isn't there?"
"We have nothing to talk about," Luna stated with indifference, but despite saying that she remained still.
From the looks of it, she became alarmed a little bit after seeing how Jack dodged her attack as that was by no means the work of luck.
Jack obviously noticed this about Luna and his lips curved upwards before he said, "C'mon... Ya and me, we know way too well things won't end up lovingly if we decide to fight. Why don't we just p-"
Jack was ready to offer peace but just as he could have finished his sentence he saw Luna's gaze deliberately was attracted by something behind him while his surroundings gradually darkened for no reason.
Jack raised a brow and lifted his head to see what was happening, only to end up with his eyes bulging and face paying as a result.
"Oh... Shit..."

Somewhere else within the labyrinth, Raven ran and zig-zagged through the maze with inhuman speed while memorizing the paths he has already explored in order to avoid going on the same route twice.
After running for more than 10 minutes straight Raven decided to halt his steps and glance at the floating magic panel beside him.
[Remaining time: 8 minutes and 32 seconds!]
"Less than 9 minutes, huh?"
So far he had been searching for the exit for more than 21 minutes yet he failed to find anything except for spider webs all around the walls. And considering how Luna didn't get in touch with him, it was apparent that not even she found the exit.
"What should I do?" Raven mumbled and pondered silently, but soon a crazy but still seemingly feasible idea popped up in his mind which subconsciously made him touch the necklace around his neck.
However, even before he could have attempted to see whether his idea could lead him to his goal or not, suddenly the crimson orb in his pocket flew out and started to float before his face.
"Raven! Help me! Please!"
"Huh? What happened?" Raven was surprised as he asked, but although feeling growing anxiety in his heart he quickly spent 200 points of Mystique to make the floating orb to help him find his little sister while also starting to run.
"It's a... It's a creature! And it is trying to kill! Please he-" and just as Luna could have finished her sentence her voice was cut off.
"Luna!" Raven yelled with an ashen face and without further ado used his total of 24 points of Speed.
BAM!
With an explosive momentum, the earth below Raven's feet cracked and shattered while his body turned into a blur as he zig-zagged through the maze following the red orb with a speed of no less than 60 km/h!
Of course, when he came to a turn he had to forcefully halt his speed before shifting his body toward the right direction and again using his tremendous Speed and Strength to explode with momentum once again!
'Luna! Please be safe!' although knowing they were in a White Realm Gate where they could not die, Raven still couldn't accept to see his little sister dying without him even there to protect her.
Raven ran for 1 minute straight with his anger and guilty taking over his mind, but after taking a left on the next turn his legs froze in place and his eyes pupils shrunk.
In front of him on the right side of the wall, a massive creature with a size no smaller than a house sat calmly upside down. Its body was akin to a spider's while where its head should have been the upper body of a naked woman was noticeable with an ethereal face!
But the scariest sight was not that but how its front legs were moving and rolling up two bodies at once into huge cocoons using its spider silk as a material!
Without any question, Raven understood that inside either one of those was where Luna was trapped, struggling to get out even at this moment!
[Title: Chaotic Survivor's First Effect had been triggered!]
[All Avatar Traits +1!]
Ignoring the magic panels popping up beside him Raven's eyes for the first time in a very long while turned sharp and was filled with nothing but anger.
And as if sensing the killing intent directed at it, the creature stopped wrapping the two cocoons with spider silk and shifted its face at Raven.
"Hu...man..." the spider moved its legs to face Raven and the mouth on its female face curved upward so much that it was inhumanly impossible to mimic.
The sight was, without any shadow of a doubt, terrifying to the point that it could inflict deep dread in others!
Raven, however, didn't seem to be scared nor nervous as it seemed his anger and the rush of adrenalin had a greater effect on his body and mind.
"Let her go," Raven said calmly as he took his Yin-Yang Yo-Yo from his pocket and dropped it onto the ground with its string already attached to his index finger.
Clang!
[Skill: Absolute Chaos had been triggered!]
After using 350 points of Mystique to activate one of the three skills his weapon had, Raven stomped on the ground firmly and jumped into the air.
Raven soared higher and higher in the air, more than 30 meters, and once he was at the same level as the creature he swung his arm and threw the yo-yo at it.
Normally, one would believe the small item would just simply fly in a straight line, but that was the furthest away from reality. As if it had its own consciousness, the yo-yo flashed left and right with insane speed while it cut every strand of spider web in a fifty meters radius!
It even smashed and shattered the stone walls on either side, causing huge chunks of debris to fall below and crash to the ground!
"HUMAN!!!" seeing how its webs were sliced the spider shrieked with anger and quickly used its abdomen to fire thick and sticky spider silk at Raven.
The attack was, definitely faster than a sword swing, but in the eyes of Raven who had his Dexterity above 10 points and Speed above 20, it was still slow.
Hence, he just snorted and just flicked his finger, to which the yo-yo which until now caused havoc around him immediately moved and in a single blink shredded the creature's attack into nothing but bits.
Surprisingly, it didn't even get stuck and just cut through the sticky spider silk as if it was a hot knife before butter!
"Now it's your turn," Raven stated calmly and moved his finger once again.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!...
The yo-yo flashed numerous times around the creature in just under a single second, shredding its body into countless pieces!
[You have killed Rank 2 Spider Witch!]
[Congratulations! You have successfully completed Main Quest [Safe Escape], Hidden Quest 1/2 [Killed with a Single Strike!], and Hidden Quest 2/2 [Sole Victor and Savior]]
[Because you have completed all Hidden Quests you will be given 9 free Avatar Traits that you can allocate at free will!]
[Recieve rewards now or collect them later?]
Raven ignored the arising notification in his vision and didn't hesitate a single second to run before the spider cocoon that happened to fall on the ground after his weapon went on a rampage.
"Cough... Cough... R-Raven?" watching as the spider cocoon was cut open and pulled out, Luna who was stuck within opened her eyes weakly and started to cough.
"Luna! How are you feeling? Do feel any pain? Are you injured anywhere? Your cloth is covered in blood. Are you bleeding?" Raven bombarded his little sister with questions but seeing Luna was alright his tense nerves finally relaxed.
Even the adrenalin that flowed through his body seemed to lessen and gradually vanish, allowing the previously suppressed fear and exhaustion to break onto the surface.
After all, just who would not be scared if they would have happened to meet with a massive spider for the first time or were mentally exhausted after focusing for straight minutes?
Everyone, right?
"I'm... alright... Except for minor injuries that caused my Vitality to drop by a few hundred points I am perfectly fine." Luna mumbled as she stood up with Raven's help and watched as slowly the surroundings around her changed back to the hill and the Realm Gate.
