Dungeon Hunter (던전사냥꾼)

Chapter 18: 15 Day War

Rock Creek Park, Washington, United States.

A large number of creatures poured from the entrance of the dungeon that covered 3.65 square kilometres.

Hundreds of intermediate 2Lv spider like creatures called arachne and the advanced 3Lv arachne queen that governed them.

Their size was different from general spiders. One of them was two metres while the arachne queen was more than double the size.

The arachne moved on their 8 legs and started to surround the soldiers.

South Korea had an unprecedented strong monster wave so the United States had committed a massive force to surround the dungeon.

In other words, they were well prepared.

"Start the attack!"

The soldiers simultaneously attacked the arachne. Thousands of bullets bounced off the outer shells of the arachne.

Although they had faced general lower grade creatures, the arachne were intermediate grade. The solid outer shell easily stopped the bullets.

Kwarurung!

The ground shook as a claymore mine buried in the ground burst.

But unlike the bullets, it was effective.

Kieeek!

A surprise blast. A few of the arachne lost their legs and torso. This was followed by snipers firing at the eyes of the arachne. On top of that, there was an outpouring of attacks from the tanks.

It became a scene of carnage. It was expected since they had inferior strength to the creatures.

The queen moved through the battlefield and woke up all their senses.

The queen soon scattered an intangible, odorless hormone around her. The arachne responded to their queen through their sense organs and soon moved to specific positions.

This allowed the giant spiders to march while avoiding the mines. They were followed by a pile of light, silver coloured thread.

"Kuaaaaak!"

"F-flesh! My flesh!"

The threads melted down anything that it touched.

The strong acids of the spider webs melted the human bodies and even the armoured tanks.

The arachne moved rapidly at 80 km/hr and rapidly covered the humans. The strong jaws then bit off the heads or limbs of the humans.

The legs were also a formidable weapon. The soft bodies of the humans were slashed by legs that were as sharp as a knife.

"Fire support request, Alpha Charlie 221 Bravo Delta 445. We are engaged with at least 200 creatures. Requesting close air support."

Soon after the radio request, several hundred jet flights flew over.

The time it took the jet fighters to reach the dungeon was 3 minutes.

Tung! Tung! Dududududu!

The fighters flew low and commenced machine gun fire. The bullets that could even pierce the thickest iron alloy directly hit the arachne.

Dozens of arachne responded quickly by aiming their web but it didn't reach.

The queen with eight legs looked at the sky filled with jet fighters with her eight eyes.

Kiik! Kiiik. A command was released with her hormones and the arachne legs started looking like a spring.

Then they jumped up in the blink of an eye. A formidable jumping power that allowed them to reach 100 times their body length!
