Chapter 180 : Spider Fiends
Chapter 180: Spider Fiends
Gauss’s memory was exceptionally sharp now.
He was certain that the surrounding passageways were different from before.
For instance, this corner he just passed by—hadn’t even existed earlier.
Had the terrain silently changed?

Of course, what unsettled him more was not knowing where Arya had ended up.
Had the two of them already been separated by the maze’s shifting layout?

According to the mental map in his head, his current path was completely opposite from when he entered.
Naturally, he didn’t dare stop now. The Pale Guardian was still following closely behind like a shadow.
What’s more, Gauss could distinctly feel that the creature’s condition was gradually improving.
Like some hibernating beast slowly awakening, its organs and bodily functions were reviving at an alarming pace.

He had to shake it off quickly.
Feeling the fierce wind roaring ever closer behind him—
Gauss turned and took the brunt of another one of its savage strikes.
“Clang!”

He blocked the attack again, the immense recoil numbing his arms.
Were it not for the boost from Brutal Strength, his already impressive Strength and Constitution attributes, and the protection from the Gauss Force Field, which absorbed the recoil’s damage, it wouldn’t have ended with just numbness—his arms might have been crippled.

One had to admit, when it came to facing many monsters, human bodies were at a disadvantage.
Oftentimes, size did mean strength.
At the same time, beauty often equated to power.
When it first appeared, the Pale Guardian had left a striking impression—majestic and daunting.
That impression proved true—its strength matched its appearance.
Aside from the initial sneak attack, Gauss hadn’t tried to meet its strikes head-on anymore. Instead, he adopted techniques to deflect and dissipate the impact.

“Tap tap tap!”
Rapid footsteps echoed through the claustrophobic corridor.
“Huff! Huff!” Gauss’s chest rose and fell violently, gasping for air.
It may have been less than a minute, but the energy he had expended was immense.
“Its movement range is this wide?” he muttered, sensing the relentless pursuit from behind, a bad feeling settling in.
He had initially thought that, given its puppet-like posture, it would be restricted to a small area. But clearly, that wasn’t the case.

“Boom!”
Like a stone flung through the air, Gauss slammed into an unfamiliar, spacious room.

He didn’t pause to catch his breath. Instinctively, he rolled forward to dissipate the force and swiftly scanned his surroundings.
“A dead end?”
From his initial assessment, the room had no exit.
What sent a chill down his spine was the enormous, sticky white web that enveloped the entire room.
Е̃ ǹ u m̃а
This wasn’t the kind of gossamer thread one might brush past in a bush. These were thick ropes of webbing, layered and suffocating, stretching from ceiling to wall to floor.
Suspended on the webs were countless aged, almost ash-white egg sacs.
Some of them had already ruptured, their contents long hatched. Others bulged, full and ominously alive, as though the creatures within were ready to burst free at any moment.
“Is this the nest of that spider-like creature from earlier?”

He turned to the entrance.
The Pale Guardian that had been chasing him was now motionless, quietly standing at the only way in—where he’d been flung through.
Е́ n̄um̌а̂
It was also the nest’s sole exit.
Does it think I’m already trapped like a rat in a jar? Gauss mused, analyzing its behavior.
Oddly, that brought him some relief. It gave him the chance to steady his turbulent magic and his ragged breathing.
Thinking back now, the spider-like entity’s behavior had been bizarre, almost as if it had intentionally driven him into this nest.
Not that he minded.
From within the wide sleeve of his robe, a Teleportation Scroll silently slid into his palm.

Cornered or not, he had his escape route.
He hadn’t used it earlier—partly to conserve resources, but more importantly, because there hadn’t been an opportunity.
Activating a Teleportation Scroll took time—not long, but still a few seconds.
Under the circumstances earlier, there hadn’t been a single moment to spare.
“Slick slick!”
Just as Gauss was about to channel magic into the scroll—

A strange noise came from behind the disordered white strands of webbing.
Instinctively, Gauss glanced in that direction.

He saw three smaller pale creatures emerging slowly from the dense webs.
“Smaller” here was relative—compared to the adult that had chased him here.
Even the smallest of the trio was the size of a strong adult human, while the largest stood around 2.3 meters tall.
Were they juveniles of the same species?
Е̇ nũm̄ă .і̃d
Perhaps its children? Or siblings?
Unlike the adult’s oddly elegant appearance, these three small Pale Fiends were grotesquely malformed. Their upper bodies barely resembled human shapes.
Their faces were a terrifying mess, smeared with sticky white silk—like melted wax, obscuring every feature.
Or like soft, wet clay clumsily mashed by a child—distorted and deeply unsettling.

Gauss vaguely understood the Pale Guardian’s intention.
It had driven him here for the sake of these three creatures.

But why bring him alive instead of killing him? Was it so they could feast on fresh flesh? Or was there some reason they needed to handle him themselves?
The three small Pale Fiends leaned forward, staring straight at Gauss. Unlike the adult, their eyes gleamed with a raw, hungry desire.
Gauss cast one more wary glance at the immobile Pale Guardian blocking the exit.
He began silently shifting deeper into the nest, putting more distance between himself and the adult.
That way, when the time came to escape, he’d have more leeway.
The adult showed no reaction—either unaware of his movement’s intent, or simply confident that it had sealed the only exit and didn’t care.

“Hoo—”
Gauss turned his gaze toward the rapidly approaching trio of small Pale Fiends.
A flicker of hesitation passed through his eyes.
Despite their numbers, his senses didn’t register them as serious threats.
Judging by their movement speed, they might be elite monsters—but far from truly dangerous. Certainly nothing compared to the adult.
Why wasn’t it helping?
E.ń û mа̌ . ĩd
Did it think the three were enough? Or was it unable to intervene?
Gauss was puzzled.

Still, this situation worked in his favor.
He figured he could take down the weakest one without much issue.
Path of Elites – Phase 2: Kill 5 types of elite monsters (4/5).
While he was still thinking, the three had skittered close, advancing rapidly.

Gauss cast one final glance at the adult.
If it didn’t intervene, he would act.
He drew a slender Bone Wand from his storage pouch.
Ignoring the two larger ones, his eyes locked onto the smallest of the trio at the rear.

Since he’d made up his mind, it made sense to strike the softest target.
After all, he only needed one more to complete this phase’s objective.

He silently gathered magical energy, waiting for them to close in.
At the same time, he planned his next move—once he killed one, he’d activate the Teleportation Scroll without delay.
