Chapter 29


    Mercenary Guild members froze for a moment, then with a start, they burst into curses, hurriedly


    grabbing their weapons.


    vin was the first to dash into the valley, scooping up Ogmundr to the deepest part, and shed a


    wicked grin at the mercenaries, "Lads, enjoy the feast of poison spiders."


    "I''m gonna cleave you in twain," bellowed the burly man, swinging his de toward vin.


    "Forget him! We must fight our way out. Fight out!" The other mercenaries shouted in panic as the


    Vermilion Spiders began their assault.


    "Lad, I''ll remember your face!" The burly man red at vin with venomous eyes. Sword in hand,


    he charged at the swarm of Vermilion Spiders, barking orders to the others, "Take thess with you,


    and break free!"


    One mercenary hoisted Nysah onto his shoulders, blending into the ranks.


    "vin! Save me! I swear, if I die, I''ll haunt you as a ghost," Nysah screamed as she struggled.


    "Silence!" A mercenary struck her, and she fell unconscious.


    "Strike!" The eight mercenaries yelled, collectivelyunching an attack on the Vermilion Spider.


    "vin, you..." Ogmundr couldn''t believe that vin had saved him.


    There were too many Vermilion Spiders. They wereparablyrge with their striking three-meter-


    long pointed legs. Suddenly, they all swarmed into the valley, taking up half of the space. Seeing so


    much food in the valley, they became fiercely aggressive, spewing poisonous gas, waving their


    sharp legs, and pouncing on the mercenaries.


    The strong man was the first to lead the charge, shing crazily with his sword. With a sound, he


    split a spider head-on. The other seven followed closely, forming a spearhead formation, bravely


    colliding with the spider swarm. They had fought together so many times that their cooperation was


    incredibly seamless.


    "Don''t die just yet," vin dropped Ogmundr and charged into the fray, racing to engage before the


    spiders fully encircled the mercenaries.


    Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh. Three throwing daggers flew in quick session, aimed at the


    mercenaries at the rear.


    "You whelps!" They roared in anger, dodging the des. But the daggers curved wickedly, striking


    from the sides, thunk, thunk, thunk, piercing their leather armor and sinking into flesh. The force


    staggered them, eliciting cries of agony.


    vin met them head-on, his Dawnedge de casting a fierce light, driving the three back. These


    mercenaries were strong and wild; vin had no desire for a head-on sh. After repelling them,


    he plunged into their circle.


    The mercenary carrying Nysah hid in the rear, but sensing the disarray, he turned just in time to see


    vin burst through.


    vin collided with him like a wild tiger, delivering a Mountain Mover punch with the force of two


    thousand pounds.

    Crack! The mercenary''s body shattered on one side, tumbling through the air, Nysah flung from his


    shoulders,nding securely in vin''s arms.


    The burly man was fiercely engaging the spiders when the collision sent him staggering, nearly


    falling. A Vermilion Spider bit into his shoulder, and others lunged, their ws and fangs showing no


    mercy.


    "No!" The mercenaries'' formation crumbled, and the surrounding spiders quickly overwhelmed


    them.


    vin, carrying Nysah, broke through. The three injured mercenaries charged at him frantically.


    "Where do you think you''re going!"


    Fearless, vin surged ahead, dodging narrowly, barely escaping their encirclement.


    "You runt, this isn''t over," the three mercenaries bellowed, but they were now too preupied with


    spiders to pursue vin.


    vin, with Nysah in tow, swung his sword, its de casting vicious arcs of light. As they neared


    their escape, suddenly, a Vermilion Spider lunged, its spear-like leg tearing through vin''s back,


    blood gushing, nearly impaling him. vin grunted, almost dropping Nysah. Then, five more spiders


    surrounded them.


    The valley was in utter chaos; the burly man and the other mercenaries were swamped by the


    Vermilion Spiders. Yet they were no ordinary fighters; they withstood the initial onught,


    regrouping bloodied but unyielding, even managing to counterattack.


    After a fierce struggle, vin managed to break free and looked for Ogmundr, only to find him gone.


    "Fled on his own?" vin scoffed, escaping the valley with Nysah.


    While three Vermilion Spiders chased them out of the valley, the rest continued their deadly dance


    with the mercenaries.


    Not long into the dense forest, vin spotted Ogmundr fleeing, still clutching his Gold-Veined


    Bronzesword.
