Following the loud shriek, the spiders came rushing down like a tide.

Like expert mountain climbers, each spider expertly maneuvered down the complicated network of tangling silken webs with fearsome preciseness, speed, and frightening coordination.

They charged down like an elite troop of soldiers, none of them collided against each other, it was like they all had one mind.

As they charged down, their eight legs made rhythmic sounds like those of battle drums of war while their deadly and poisonous fangs made clicking sounds in the water in a hungry manner.

Unknowing to Sebastian, when he entered the cave, a spider was just beside him. The spiders were not only spread at the top, they were spread at every single corner of the large and complicated network of tangling cobwebs.

Sebastian was the first to react to this attack, and he reacted fast.

He escaped inside this tunnel because it was a necessity, he was left with no choice then. Despite entering, he was alert and on guard because experience told him never to trust coincidences with bad luck in play.

Now, not only was he right, his bad luck placed both him and his pursuers in a den of dangerous poisonous spiders.

This was his bad luck, but also his pursuers' bad luck. For some reason, he felt that the more others stayed close to him, the more chances of their luck decreasing which was already being displayed in his pursuers.

He reacted first not just because he was here first and saw the spiders first, it was mostly because his enemies were not on guard against bad luck like him.

[You have activated skill: Triple Reverse Swim.]

[You have activated skill: Advanced Dash.]

[Your Advanced Dash skill has leveled up to level 5.]

[Your Triple Reverse Swim skill has leveled up to level 5.]

Instantly after Sebastian activated these 2 skills again, they leveled up. It was already long overdue since he already overused them since his escape began.

The 2 skills leveling up didn't grant him superhuman speed immediately, but his swimming became a lot smoother and calmer. He no longer had to put as much attention on his swimming, it prominently felt more like instinct to him now.

His stamina was already drained by a lot after escaping for so long, so immediately after he activated his 2 skills, he felt dizzy but he still persevered.

Apart from him, the old toad was the second predator to react. Even in this dangerous situation, he was still determined to restore his dignity by killing Sebastian.

The number of spiders rushing towards them already told that their only hope of surviving was by escaping. Despite this, he was confident that he could still escape after successfully killing Sebastian.

Bam!

He attacked again but was surprised. For the first time since his encounter with this shark, Sebastian was able to move his body in such a smooth and rapid manner that he narrowly dodged the edge of the sharp deadly tongue.

This granted him all the time in the world to escape before the old toad recovered from his shock. After the old toad recovered, the other predators also finally recovered.

Without hesitation, they all turned to escape but they forgot that the spiders were the owners and the rulers of this cave.

Before they could escape, the network of cobwebs through which the spiders moved suddenly started glowing in a red magic light. The cobwebs suddenly started expanding and extending crazily.

The expansion speed rapidly exceeded that of the predators, in seconds, the cobwebs covered the whole cave, also sealing the tunnel that led outside the cave.

Against 4 purple tier predators, if it was an ordinary clan of spiders, they wouldn't have been a match but Sebastian's electroreceptors already observed that for some strange reason, these spiders were all orange tier predators.

This was frightening.

Purple tier predators were powerful, this was undeniable, but they could still be defeated if the quantity of the opponents were enough to tip the scales.

At this moment, the spiders had all the qualities to win. They had the quality in tier ranking, the quantity in numbers, and the increment in cooperation.

Before the intruding predators could react, the spiders pounced on them.

Crunch! Crunch!

Loud nauseating sounds immediately reverberated as the nearest spiders dug their poisonous fangs into the body of the already severely injured Devouring Cobra who let out a hiss in pain.

The Cobra was already severely injured by the old toad, not only that, it lost its precious reproductive organ and due to anger, it pursued to vent on Sebastian. Unfortunately for it, it encountered this.

As soon as the first spider lashed out at him, the second appeared, then the third, then the fourth, then the fiftieth spider lashed out at his skin.

The suffering Devouring Cobra hissed loudly in pain but no one came to its rescue, the other intruders were also in a fix.

In this cave, its shadow magic was powerful but not invisible. It could disappear and appear in another location inside the cave, but unfortunately for it, the spiders filled the cave.

The spiders attacked in a frenzy in such large numbers like a colony of ants, and with such ferocity like a pride of lions.

In this situation, Sebastian who escaped first and was at the back of the group suffered less as those at the front bore the full wrath of the raging spiders.

[You have killed a Connected-Soul Volcano Spider- Level 15: You have gained Experience.]

[You have gained 5 Skill points and 5 Adaptation points.] 

Killing one of the terrifying spiders revealed their names to Sebastian, but he didn't care at this moment because it meant nothing to him.

He was scared of course, he now had less than 20 health points remaining. He felt indignant but he could only leave his survival to fate, he even laughed on seeing his pursuers in such dire states.

Their relentless pursuit led to his present state. Revenge was sweet, even if it was being dealt by other predators on his behalf, it was still sweet.

Immediately after this happened, Sebastian despaired as the spiders now had more room to attack him. Like a cornered rat, he retaliated, fighting and giving his all just to preserve his life.

[18…, 15…, 14…, 12…, 9…]

Sebastian's health points slowly but steadily decreased amid his rising panic. The closer he got to death, the more indignant he felt about his life.

About a minute later, the now one-winged Hawk-Eagle died to the spiders after letting out a loud cry of regret. With one of its vital wings already lost, it was a miracle that it survived till now.

With another predator dead, the pressure on the others increased.

[5…, 3…]

Seeing this, Sebastian laughed bitterly. He could no longer look because his consciousness became muddy and scattered. After consecutive tough battles, he could no longer hold on, his injuries were now too much.

"I'm really about to die, sigh…"

With his scattered consciousness and unclear vision, he suddenly saw what seemed like a sharp metallic object drilling through a group of spiders and killing all of them at the same time.

"What are these…"

This was Sebastian's last thought before he fainted.
