<h4>Chapter 75: Floor 12: 0% Clear Rate? Meet Josh MF Malum! (2/3)</h4>


    But, now he was stronger. He could damage it! If given the opportunity that is…


    That was the issue. To deliver any significant blow, Josh would require to use all his strength. Such a move was impossible to aplish while dodging the creature''s onught. That is when a party would have been useful. Then again, it would have defied the purpose as Josh was aiming for solo Feats.


    *Sound of a spider screaming in hunger and anger*


    The spider kept attempting attack after attack. One would have thought that 8 legs would have been enough to skewer a puny human, but it wasn''t the case. The monstrous spider was even starting to leer at him while looking annoyed, yes with all its eyes! Good for it! Totally an upgrade from the soulless state!


    Josh kept sliding, rolling, and side-stepping every attempt at his life. Yet, no matter how good he was at surviving, no matter how annoyed the creature got, none of it would help him. He was already in the mindset that he needed to find a way to kill his prey. How was he supposed to…?


    Ah, that would work. It was time to get fellow humans to the rescue. Josh simply ran away. He did as the mission told him to, but most definitely for very different reasons. The entire forest was soon filled with happyughter. Oh, and weird irritated spider noises.


    "Catch me if you can!"


    *Tsk-tsk-tsk*


    "I''m right here you slowpoke!"


    *Tsk-tsk-tsk*


    "This is fun, isn''t it?!"


    Fun fact, the Boss could scale any surface easily as if it was in ground so such endeavor was extremely harsh.


    It kept going until finally Josh was driven into a corner! The spider attacked and couldn''t help but happily screech as it felt its hook sink into the white and tender flesh of the insolent human. Except that a secondter it realized the feedback was wrong.


    It had actually missed Josh and had hit the cocoon right behind! It quickly retracted its leg, with the entire cocoon following along. Just as it was about to clean its leg, Josh darted away once more. Not wanting to lose its prey the spider ran after him.


    Began a game of spider and human once more. Thetter was yfully calling out "Catch me if you can" and other simr lines whileughingly running. He had the joviality of a young boypeting with his childhood friend over who wouldn''t get eaten by that 304 kg grizzly chasing them.


    Then suddenly the spider caught up! It mercilessly impaled yet another cocoon! Then Josh started running once more. At some point, the creature somehow increased its speed and it became way faster than Josh! He kept zigzagging across the trees at the veryst second, making the monster stop abruptly to avoid bing a t spider.


    Then suddenly Josh realized how hungry he was! Oh, and the spider kept collecting cocoons on its legs like a bad hooker collected STDs. Josh kept running happily.


    If he had that much ease to evade the spider, why didn''t he simply fight it? Well, the issue was as stated before. He could evade and hack at it all day long but perhaps just its basic healing would cover the damage dealt. No, Josh was nning something big.


    Eventually, the spider was so full of cocoons that it looked like the mascot of that French tirepany, the bulky white one. Josh finally stopped and turned to face the enemy. He then dashed at it as fast as lightning, or so he would have hoped.


    Even with all the weight of these cocoons, the spider was mobile enough not to be taken down easily. It was showing the benefits of all its long legs, waving them in the air menacingly. Then it would drive them into the ground as soon as Josh tried to approach. Each was now slower butrger and akin to a sledgehammer.


    Josh fought it for a while before finally, he went to rest on the side, panting heavily. He was leaning on a tree trying to catch his breath. At least, he wasn''t injured at all. Seeing that he was busy, the spider began to steadily remove the cocoons from its legs.


    A few minutester, it waspletely free. It was now ravenously staring at Josh, the irksome human would finally die. It couldn''t wait to overwhelm him, to remove his skin, devour his flesh and finally shower in the blood of the human. Why? Because it truly hated this one. This was the biggest humiliation of its life!


    Then it slowly approached the human, akin to a victorious conqueror. It knew it had won seeing the enemy''s state. It couldn''t wait to…but suddenly it stopped. It could hear a faint wriggling sound. Something was moving in its back!


    That is when the human smiled before uttering apletely nonsensical sentence, at least in the spider''s eyes. It went "Rise up my fellow humans! It is time for battle!" He shouted it heroically…but there were no other humans there, clearly right?


    As the spider tilted its body, it saw a scene that would almost have rendered itpletely white in fear if it already wasn''t. On the ground, the cocoons were shaking. Then out of each came shadowy creatures. These were humans? They looked so different!


    They all wobbled to their feet, before turning toward the human. Then came a cacophony of: "THaNk yOu FeLLoW HuMan!"(Times~50).


    Akin to a valiant general, Josh raised his de high up in the air before shouting: "CHARRGE!" He did it with so much passion that his voice was trembling, his body was trembling, his weapon was trembling, and his whole being was trembling.


    Actually, perhaps he was trembling with disappointment from seeing none of the "humans" move one bit. They were all standing there basically useless. But that''s when Josh tried something slightly different. "Charge my fellow humans!"


    Then the awkward atmosphere suddenly turned into one that was even more awkward with the shadows stumbling their way forward toward the monstrosity. They clearly wouldn''t cut it as fighters. There was one thing they were really good at. In terms of diversion, they were really good. It went.


    "THaNk yOu FeLLoW HuMan!"


    *Tsk-tsk-tsk*


    "THaNk yOu FeLLoW HuMan!"


    *Tsk-tsk-tsk*


    "THaNk yOu FeLLoW HuMan!"


    *Tsk-tsk-tsk*


    "THaNk yOu FeLLoW HuMan!"


    Of course, the more time went on and the fewer shadows there were. They could be killed but were pretty damn resistant. The monster was very busy with the shadows. It couldn''t help but get annoyed at all this senseless onught.


    Before long, it was almost done annihting them all. There were only a few left on its back, they were pointlessly trying to harm it without sess. It was about to finish them and triumphantly wave its legs around, but then it noticed something. The human was nowhere to be seen.


    It had run away! Quick! It began running at top speed to the human''sst known location. Then it finally found him! But there was just a slight issue. As it moved quickly the shadows were flung off its back. Then from the blind spot their body had initially created, HE appeared!


    There he was! It was time to feast! That was thest conscious thought the creature had. The sword now embedded in its brain made it hard for it to pursue this though. Josh had climbed one of the trees and had used gravity to do the most powerful plunge attack of his life.


    As he looked at his defeated foe, he dered while scoffing loudly. "Foolish spider, it was over as soon as I had the high ground." Then the corpse slowly disappeared with a few items dropping in a sh of red light.


    As Josh observed it all, he couldn''t help but be amazed. Thereid on the ground many white pieces of equipment and also a small white box that stood out, radiating a white glow.
