Chapter 104: Everytime!After speaking so confidently, Nakros let out a nervous chuckle.

    "Well, that''s my calculations if I wasn''t handicapped." [Nakros]

    "What?" [Solace]

    I stared at Nakros with concern.

    "Don''t look at me like that... It''s because you''re here. You''d get caught up in the crossfire if I fought the arachnid queen normally." [Nakros]

    That made me seriously reconsider things.

    "Uh... How about I don''t fight-" [Solace]

    "Eh, I guess you can focus on surviving. Good luck." [Nakros]

    "Huh?" [Solace]

    Having said that, Nakros prepared himself.

    "Aid me, |Selva|." [Nakros]

    The familiar female ghost-like spirit appeared by his side.

    "A weak foe. You''ve chosen your opponents wisely." [Selva]

    The ghost-like spirit smirked at the arachnid queen.

    "Selva, I need you to protect my junior disciple. Can you do that for me?" [Nakros]

    Selva nodded.

    "A simple task." [Selva]

    She turned to me, which caused her expression to turn into curiosity.

    "Oh my. A fellow spirit." [Selva]

    "H... Hello..." [Solace]

    I waved at her, unsure if Nakros was capable of hearing her speech.

    ("...Am I just overthinking things?") [Solace]

    I thought it was a possibility, but it was hard to imagine seeing as I could hear Selva''s voice without her moving her lips.

    "For the time being, I shall be your guardian." [Selva]

    Moving her hands in a circular motion, mist swirled around me.

    "It is ready." [Selva]

    Nakros glanced at me to confirm my safety, then crouched down as if he was getting ready to sprint.

    "|Soaring Crane|." [Nakros]

    A gust of air surrounded Nakros, allowing him to propel himself upwards within an instant.

    "|Echoing Fist|." [Nakros]

    He struck the head of the unsuspecting arachnid queen with a blow that seemed to shake its entire being. The monster let out a painful screech as it unlatched from the ceiling and began tunneling down towards me.

    ("Oh crap.") [Solace]

    As the monster fell, Nakros made his way around its body so that he was then able to stand on it.

    "|Heavenly Descent|." [Nakros]

    The drop speed of the spider multiplied quickly, causing it to drop like an anchor.

    ("Bro! It''s going to fall on me!") [Solace]

    That was when Selva moved to protect me.

    "Come." [Selva]

    She moved me along with mist, forcibly transporting me to a new location.

    "Huh?! Did we just teleport?!" [Solace]

    I found myself floating above as I saw Nakros and the arachnid queen come crashing down where I previously stood.

    "|Echoing Fist|." [Nakros]

    Slamming his fist down upon the spider again, it let out a screech. It then reared its head back and spat out a yellow liquid at Nakros in retaliation.

    "|Gentle Breeze|." [Nakros]

    Moving his hands slowly, the yellow liquid seemed to split apart and pass by him. He then proceeded to strike the queen again.

    "|Echoing Fist|." [Nakros]

    The punch made the monster tremble. So much so that the arachnid queen''s abdomen opened up and a ton of baby spiders poured out.

    "Ew! What the hell?!" [Solace]

    Nakros then pointed at me.

    "Can you handle them for me? I''m a bit busy here!" [Nakros]

    I stared in horror at the sheer number of spiders. Seeing as how freshly birthed they were, their exoskeletons were non-existent so I assumed it would be easy to kill them.

    ("I''ll do it from a range!") [Solace]

    I wondered what move I could use to kill such a large amount, but then I remembered having one skill capable of that.

    "|Liquid Barrage|!" [Solace]

    Summoning dozens of water droplets I continuously fired them at the spiderlings.

    "You have gained |Experience|." [Spirit Guide]

    More and more fell to my liquid bullets, but there was no sign of a level up.

    ("Of course. They were just born. Why would they have a lot of |Experience|.") [Solace]

    The longer I live in this new world makes it so that I start seeing it more like a game.

    "Solace! Careful!" [Nakros]

    "What?" [Solace]

    The arachnid queen was enraged by my acts. I saw it get up and attempt to stab me with one of its many legs. Sёarch* The N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    ("It''s fast!") [Solace]

    I blocked the attack by catching it. However, the momentum sent me into a wall as it kept pushing me.

    ("How long is its leg?!") [Solace]

    The wall behind me started caving in as the pressure built up. At some point I was digging a tunnel using my back as the drill.

    "You have gained |Experience|. |Gentleman''s Favor| has gained a level. |Gentleman''s Favor| level limit reached. Would you like to evolve it?" [Spirit Guide]

    Hearing that, I couldn''t help chuckling a bit to myself.

    ("It''s always when I''m in some kind of danger when things like this happen.") [Solace]

    Unable to contain my excitement, I gave the Spirit Guide my answer.

    "Yes." [Solace]
