And so, night came. According to Lapis, a fire at this outer region wouldn’t attract the demons’ attention. The reason was, the demons were actually aware of humans and other races entering their domain and collecting intel. If humans came near or into their town, of course they would think about dealing with them. Otherwise, they would simply acknowledge that there were few trespassers doing something sneakily, but they didn’t care enough to go over and repel adventurers. “Because humans…-

“Hey, come here guys.” At Jack’s call, everyone came over to where he was hiding. The place was right in front of the exit, where sunlight from the outside did reach. The lantern was put out, and they looked into the direction Jack was pointing. If the tunnel exit on the demons’ side was the same as the exit on human’s side, there should be a dwarven village here. And yes, there surely was a village, where someone had lived. But Jack wouldn’t call out to them if that was all,…-

During the short break they took after the spider was defeated, Loren went to examine its corpse. Others kept a distance from the carcass, and Loren was the only one who approached it. He had a reason to though. Loren stabbed the spider carcass with the tip of his sword multiple times to make sure it had really died before coming closer. The first thing he examined was the spot where Gula’s <<Fireballs>> hit. The exoskeleton was quite hard, and even though the surface was scorched, there…-

First thing first, they needed to ensure visibility. “<<Ball Lightning>>!” Quartz shot a burst of magic at the ceiling. He seemed to have strengthened the spell – white light shining down from the ceiling was meager but strong enough to illuminate the whole hall and the spider inside it. Next, the battle started with an arrow from Nim, who had the longest attack interval and the fastest attack speed. The arrow was released at the same time as Loren and Ritz, the vanguards,…-

After leaving the spider web area their journey was rather peaceful. They were occasionally attacked by undead and huge spiders, but these were all put down easily by Ritz’s party. Loren’s party didn’t need to intervene at all, so he uttered: “Exactly what’s expected from a party of silver rank adventurers.” “Don’t know why, but I feel like we’re getting too much praise.” Ritz responded with a wry smile. An adult huge spider appearing alone should have…-

“We’ve really made it somehow?” Ritz asked as if seeking confirmation, but no one responded. Yes, everyone was tired because of all the continuous running, but the impact of the place they had just escaped from was more heavy. “What a bad experience.” Between them, Lapis was the one most affected, with her white priest dress becoming filthy. It was covered in cobwebs and all the dirt they carried, and stained with body fluids and chunks of the spiderlings she had trampled on the…-

The art of walking with no sound was, of course, mastered by Jack, a thief and Nim, a hunter. Loren and Ritz, despite being swordsmen, also learned how to do it to some extent. But it really was to some extent only. The threads that constructed the spiderweb were all over the ground and the wall, but it would be alright as long as the ones they stepped on didn’t vibrate. The problem was, no matter how hard Loren and Ritz tried, they still rocked some of the looser threads. And, of course, it was…-

Loren’s group left that area, leaving the motionless spiders behind. The ones being carried decided to walk on their feet, worrying that they might tire the members carrying them off. They proceeded to walk to the end of the tunnel. Jack and others wanted to burn the spiders, but Loren and Nim objected: “Making such a big fire in an enclosed space like this, we’ll all die choking, won’t we?” “Spiders are also part of the world. Let’s not kill them. We can’t…-

Loren’s group continued to run in a line. The spiders chasing them didn’t decrease in number, nor did they show any signs of slowing down – they were like an avalanche, or a tsunami. “No matter how many arrows are there, it’s still not enough.” Nim grumbled, her quiver had been reduced to less than half. She looked over her shoulder and shot at the spiders from time to time, one arrow of hers carrying enough force to pierce through multiple creatures at once. But the fallen spiders…-
