Chapter 21 - Ogre and Spider queen

As Kyle ran inside the forest, the negative mood and energies enveloped him. His field of view became much less now, and he could see at most 500 metres in front of him. Plus the cobwebs and the thick trees blocked most of his view anyways.

The ogre was roaring angrier and angrier and completely ignoring the camp through which he passed. He chased the annoying human that caused it a scar on foot.

Kyle couldn't turn much to see how exactly the ogre looked, but from the side vision, he could tell that he had a single eye and 2 legs. His skin was deep orange in cover with stains of dirt and grass all over him. He was completely naked with a heavy hairy body in some of the areas to insulate from the cold weather. This parts of the continent could get quite cold in the winter.

Kyle rushed further and suddenly in front of him, and he saw a cave, the entrance of which was as big as a 200-metre mountain. It was huge, and everything but a small part was in the cobwebs. Without further thinking, Kyle decided to rush inside.

While this might be a great idea, in reality, even before Kyle could get deep in, something white and wet shot through the small gap, straight at Kyle. That thing fully enveloped him and started to expand and fully tie his movements. The white thing was slowly building up and was looking more and more like a cocoon that Kyle was inside. 'Oh, no, shi*! I didn't want to fight the spider queen! I only wanted to put them against each other.'

Kyle was being enveloped while the ogre was rushing towards that direction. When Ogre got to the cave, it didn't know what to do and started looking around.

It could smell the human, but couldn't see or feel him. It looked everywhere, with a confused gaze. Suddenly a spider half the size of ogre walked on her eight legs from the cave. It looked at the ogre and said something. Kyle, was in a cocoon and being dragged towards the inner parts of the cave by a small Spider. To Kyle, it sounded like nails scratching the glass.

As ogre didn't get the human and was already here, he charged at the spider. He got hurt by the human, and he was being told to go away? The spider queen as if anticipating that reaction dodged and started shouting the same white wet blobs off the web that Kyle got enveloped with. Ogre couldn't care less for it and kept on attacking the spider queen.

Then, as one more sound from spider sounded out, countless spiders started going out of the cave and rushing towards the ogre. To say that there were many is to say nothing. It was as if a tidal wave of uneasy ocean broke through. All of the spiders, with no regards for their lives, went towards the ogre. Even though it was trying to kill everything that was approaching, the sheer amount of spiders were too many to deal with.

Ogre knew that if this continued, he would be downed. He had to deal with the main target. The queen. He went for the ultimate play that this bruit could think of; he ignored the spiders and jumped at the queen. With a jump, it went straight at the queen. He was flying at unbelievable speed with the club aiming straight towards her head.

The queen couldn't dodge as fast, so she tried to take the hit but as well retaliate with landing a fatal blow onto the ogre. She prepared the poison as well as opened up her fangs and jumped towards ogres heart.

They colluded in the middle, and even though spider queen managed to bit with poison at the ogre, his body was too heavy, and so as if it didn't notice the spider, it kept on falling down. The falling impact together with rocks flying splashed the spider queen, even ogre overestimated his power and broke the club completely. Now with spider queen dead, all of the spiders in terror started running in each and every direction. No-one was controlling them any more.

Ogre looked at the battlefield with happiness and in fluid motion tossed the spider queen's body to the side. As it roared its winning cry, it felt that something was not right; his body was hurting with every muscle and tender shaking. Something was spreading about his body. Then suddenly its lungs were not able to hold any more air in, and it dropped to the ground, dying of suffocation. In where his heart was, there was a purple fang stuck with green liquid splashed all around the wound.

While all of this was happening, Kyle was first being dragged to the inner parts of the cave in the cocoon that he couldn't break out from. Suddenly after the call of the spider queen, the small spider that was dragging Kyle dropped him on the ground and went somewhere, Kyle was just left lying on the ground.

'I am barely able to breathe, and I can feel that this cocoon is not fully formed yet. I have the last chance of breaking out, or I will just die.' Kyle couldn't move his hands. He tried willing the system to take out an item, but there was not enough space, so the biggest item he could take out was the needle that he made from the beasts remains.

'There is gotta be something that I can do!' Kyle started thinking of anything he bought, but the main problem is that all of it required some hand movement from him. Not something that he can do right now.

The grip of the cocoon was getting stronger and stronger, slowly squishing his head and internal organs. Then suddenly, at the last moment that Kyle could preserver.

[ Increased Luck trait is used ]

He suddenly felt that something massive and sharp hit his cocoon from outside, and suddenly the forming force has stopped. Also, there now was a tear that let the air in and that let Kyle try to breakthrough. He was doing everything he could, but even though he got this chance, he didn't have enough physical power to force his way out.

Kyle couldn't do anything, and suddenly he remembered something in the book, there was a way for him to take out the power of qi and use it to explode with strength. Even though it said that only qi condensation cultivators should be able to do this, Kyle had to try.

Kyle put all of his consciousness into the dantian, trying to force some of the qi that was in the lake outside of the dantian. It was not working, as soon as qi left the dantian, it would go to strengthen his bone and muscles and refused to do anything else.

Kyle didn't give up and kept on struggling, driving all of the qi out of the lake. When nearly half of the qi was used up, one small speak of azure qi left his body. It left where Kyle's left hand was. With the power of qi Kyle could feel that he can do anything and with no effort at all he ripped the cocoon in half.
