Manowa 333

 Chapter 333 - Let's Descend to the World


The meaning of the word despair was before their eyes.

Barn Akaras, a rank B adventurer from Shijiri City, felt that way.


「Yo, you alive?」

「Barely...」


A voice came from the side. The other person was Board of the party『Skull Hunter』. All of his companions were consumed before his eyes, and he currently had a haggard expression as he simply waited in terror for his turn. And Barn felt the same way. His body didn't move. The poison he had been injected with turned him into a state that was practically suspended animation, and with the spider thread he was also bound with, he couldn't move. He wished he could at least also be unconscious, but that wish didn't come true.


「Help still hasn't come.」


Someone else sobbed after those words. Ah, he's still able to cry... Barn murmured in his heart.

Including Barn, twelve people were alive. Eleven people had been eaten over the past four days. Their body fluids were sucked away before their eyes, and the now dessicated corpses were lying around. That was done by the monster in front of them, the Boss of the spiders. Barn and the adventurers were the food of this spider Boss.

Barn hadn't known before, but the monster was apparently an Arachne Wired. The Mad Spiders as well as the superior Madness Spiders obeyed that monster. It was a huge, unsightly monster with a female torso between a spider lower half and head.

The thread emitted by this Arachne Wired was apparently sharp enough to easily slice through a human body. From the explanation he heard later, Barn understood that his companion Jash's body being sliced to pieces was probably the work of that monster, but now, the idea of getting revenge no longer crossed his mind.

If he could be saved by begging for mercy, he wanted to do so. Even if the foe was the one who likely killed his companion, he would bow his head, lick their shoes, or grovel and show his belly if he could. But the opponent was a monster. It couldn't understand the meaning of the human world's word「Mercy.」

The only reason Barn was currently alive was for food preservation. If he died, he would rot... it was nothing more than that.

Barn was currently nothing more than pitiful meat praying to avoid being the Arachne Wired's next meal.


「Help?... Help is coming, isn't it?」


Somebody muttered. And that was by no means baseless words.


「Since this number of spiders has gathered together.」


There were hundreds of Mad Spiders before their eyes. There were so many that it made them think soldiers wouldn't be able to win even if they outnumbered the spiders 2 to 1. And it had only been five days since they left the city. This time, they had planned to go and see the situation for about three days before returning to report, but it was common for subjugations to take a week. Even if Minshiana had already decided to do a subjugation expedition, it was impossible for them to have come in such a short period of time.


「In that case, the rank S adventurer?」


That could be called their only hope. Even though a rank S was an adventurer like them, they were recognized as a completely different kind of existence, with power that rivaled an army. They had heard that one went to Abandoned Capital Muruaje about a week ago.

Minshiana's army wouldn't be in time. Other adventurers couldn't win against this number of monsters. In that case, their only choice was to rely on the existence of the rank S. That was their only hope, and was currently their sustenance for survival.


「Fufu, I hope they come.」


However, that was also only a faint hope. Although it was due to surprise attacking in the middle of the night, they were monsters that could capture rank B adventurers like themselves alive. Would even a rank S human be able to handle this alone?


The moment Barn and the others entertained such a resigned feeling, it happened.


Suddenly, a tremendous roar resounded, and something strange happened to a group of spiders distant from Barn and the others.


「An explosion? No, the soil was gouged out and sent flying?」


Board said. Another cloud of dust rose from the place where the explosion-like something had occurred, and more Mad Spiders were blown away.

As countless thunderous roars continued creating clouds of dust, the adventurers stared in wonder.

「What the? What's happening!?」

With that change, we're saved... Barn couldn't think anything like that. He could only recognize that destruction had arisen there.


However, the situation didn't end with just that.

Subsequently, a ray of light suddenly rained on the ground from the sky.


「UooOOOOO」


Barn could only shout at the extreme incident. The tremendous heat that torrent of light possessed instantly started evaporating the Mad Spiders. Then, that light flowed sideways without change, and the Mad Spiders that weren't completely evaporated burst into flames, making a straight wall of fire.


「What... is that...?」


Somebody gulped. No, maybe everyone in that place had swallowed.


Something huge was descending from the sky. The something that had likely sent that light raining down was coming.


Its huge black wings were fluttering.


Its entire body was covered with a cloak made of flame, and it was surrounded by a rainbow-colored aurora.


With flowing bright red hair, it was a golden giant wearing a grim mask.


That giant possessed six arms. Two of its arms held giant katanas around the same height as itself, and the other arms held two meter katanas made of crimson crystal.


Above all, it gave off an overwhelming intimidating air as it unhurriedly alighted in the midst of the sea of flame.


「What... what is that monster?」

No one could respond to those words. But with that alone, they understood. THAT wasn't an existence that could simply be called an ally. THAT was a terrifying existence that had alighted to trample down everything in this place.


But the Mad Spiders around that golden giant didn't seem to be afraid. They were visibly surprised by the flames, but the moment they saw the golden giant, they surrounded and simultaneously spit spider thread at the golden giant. And the dozens of released threads instantly covered the giant in white.

Someone sighed at the sight. He'd probably had the feeling (Perchance...). Or maybe he thought they might be able to escape in a gap created by that monster's rampage. From the beginning, they couldn't do anything themselves while they were bound by spider thread, but he probably felt that even that slight hope had been severed.


However, that sigh of despair was replaced by a scream of terror.

THAT had immediately become a white cocoon, but flames suddenly spouted from inside and instantly burned away the cocoon. And the thing that truly astonished Barn and the others came after that.


『NEBaaAAAAAAAAAAAAIIII!!!!!!』


A ferocious roar that sounded like fear itself (yet for some reason had an imbalanced girlishness) resounded in that place.

That wasn't all. The giant simultaneously released an abnormal intimidating air that was incomparably stronger than before. And it even affected the physical realm. The pressure created a crater at the golden giant's feet, and this time, the Mad Spiders backed away in fear.


「Ah, aaaah.」


Barn understood that tears were pouring from his eyes, but he couldn't stop. Becoming incontinent was also unavoidable.

He understood. Even if that giant won, they wouldn't live to see tomorrow.

He could understand. That existence, which was the concepts of fear and despair given form in reality, was a most horrid Devil King that wouldn't stop until it had destroyed everything.


As Barn continued watching with his heart full of fear, the golden Devil King raised the katana in its right hand overhead and shouted again.


Then, it appeared.


In front of the Devil King, a gigantic Ogre two sizes larger than a normal Ogre was suddenly standing there.

In contrast to the Devil King's black wings, that huge jet black Ogre had white wings. That Ogre was in an imposing stance as it held a huge black club that was like a log. Furthermore, a group of more than 20 black ogres lined up next to it.


However, that wasn't the end.

The Devil King subsequently raised its left katana toward the sky, and this time, a magic circle appeared in the air.


After that, countless bones rained, and rained, and rained. They fell to the ground like a small broken mountain, and at the same time, a huge Minotaur statue also landed on the ground.

Of course, there was no way it would end there. As the fallen bones clattered while gathering together to form a giant skeleton aggregation, the Minotaur statue standing by its side was suddenly wrapped in jet-black flames. That immediately clad it in black armor, and it started moving as if it were alive.


And so, four strange giants and 23 black ogres appeared there.


Their appearance was bizarre and majestic. An army of inhuman demons. The captured adventurers would probably never forget this day. They would probably never forget the sight of the natural world's absolute superior existences manifesting in the world.


Then the demons' revelry began. It was the beginning of a one-sided massacre that would make the spiders that Barn and the others feared look like pitiful beings.
