Chapter 157 (1/2)

Yellowy rushed out at an incredible speed in an instant. My body suddenly leaned forward and I grabbed the reins as tightly as I could. The inside of the wagon was chaotic. Joseph was rubbing his elbow like he hit it somewhere and Drain was fortunately unharmed. They held the handle inside the wagon.

“W-What is going on? Elder!”

“B-Buroder, wat-da- Aaaack!”

The wagon rattled again. Yellowy in front of me ran like a mad cow. A cow might be a gentle animal but it was a scary one when it got angry. Just then, I spotted a wagon that was carrying apples. I was also right in front of our path.

“Umomooo! (Going through!)”

“T-This is crazy...!”

Yellowy struck the wagon in front of us and pushed it away. The wagon was pushed back with a loud sound. From behind, I could hear the angry voice of the wagon owner.

“Cough...”

We sped through the streets of Fortren. Many users and NPCs noticed us and the people split apart into two like the Red Sea. Suddenly, my eyes widened. I could see a familiar face in the distance.

“This guy...?”

It was Aidan. Why was this unlucky guy here? I didn’t know why but it was a good thing.

“Yellowy.”

“Umo~!! (Why did you call?!)”

“Can you see that person in the brown clothes in front?”

“Umooo! (I don’t see it!)”

Ah, I had forgotten. Cows had poor eyesight. I remembered that they were color blind. Then it couldn’t be helped. I had no choice but to steer him. I grabbed the reins and pulled it slightly to the right. It was exactly in the direction of Aidan’s group. Then I shouted, “Aidan!”

In the distance, Aidan turned his gaze toward me. Our eyes met and I immediately took off my mask. Aidan’s eyes widened. I followed him around like that without him knowing who I am. It was natural for him to react like this.

“Haha. How surprising.”

The soldiers guarding the area started to surround Aidan. They were trying to protect him from the incoming mad cow. However, I had a way.

[Spider Climbing has been activated.]

[1 magic power is consumed at every fixed period of time.]

[The absorption power of both feet has become stronger.]

On the shaky wagon, I struggled to maintain my balance. Then I raised my hands.

“Now, take this.”

Cobwebs were fired from both hands and flew through the air. It was headed to the soldiers. They pulled out their swords to slash at the flying cobwebs. However, that was their mistake.

“Shit! What is this?”

“Why is it so sticky?!”

“It is becoming more and more sticky!”

“Don’t move! It will just make you more tangled up!”

The soldiers were unable to cut it and were instead tangled up in the cobwebs. Well, these cobwebs had even incapacitated Windia’s knights. What could these guards do? Still, the effect seemed good. It worked really well.

“Hmm?” Just then, I saw Aidan fleeing. My lips curved up in a smile. “Hey~ You’re trying to get away.”

The cobwebs stretched out toward Aidan. The sticky cobwebs flew and clung to his back. I pulled hard and Aidan floated in the air before falling onto the middle of the road. Of course, it was the road that the wagon would pass through.

“Umooooo! (Excitiiiing!)”

“Uwaaaack!”

Aidan was hit by Yellowy’s horns and flew through the air. He literally turned three times in the air before falling onto a hard statue. However, the area hit was a bit embarrassing. Ouch, that should hurt...

I looked straight ahead and saw the soldiers caught in the cobwebs. Their faces were pale.

“Hiiik?!”

Hrmm. Let’s get a strike. I tended to be good at bowling. On the last New Year’s day, I went with my family and got first place.

Kis headed to Garbage Village. It was night and the dark path was a bit scary but he knew the road well, so he didn’t have to worry about falling over. He kicked at a stone with a pout. “Aish, that damn old man.”

It was a boiling excitement after a long time. His hands were still shaking. This was the taste of the jackpot. His entire body was exhilarated when he thought of the coins pouring out.

“Groan. He really would kill me.”

He tried to use the momentum to enjoy other gambles but the damn old man blocked him. He said he would tell Helena. He was a really childish old man. On the other hand, it was fortunate. If Helena had known then she wouldn’t have let him go. Well, he was forced to pretend to be close to women to get money but if she had seen it, she would’ve been confused.

“Cough. Yes, let’s think positively.”

Kis stepped forward energetically. He walked a bit further and could see Garbage Village in the distance. The village was far away but it was a bit strange.

“Why is it so bright?”

It was definitely night time right now. Looking up, there was the moon. The stars could also be seen, albeit sparsely. It wasn’t as glamorous as Fortren but it was a modest place. However, the sight before him was hell...

“Kyaaaaak!”

There were distant screams. Anxiety poured into Kis. The pounding of his heart rang in his ears. Was there a raid? If so, Garbage Village was in danger. He had to save her. Helena was the only one for him.

“H-Helena!”

Kis ran forward. Flames were soaring from the village.

Upon arriving at Garbage Village, Kerenos fought and fought. It was definitely harder to deal with humans rather than monsters. They weren’t just ordinary humans, they were immortal humans. They were accustomed to many fights and cooperated well.
