I Returned as an FFF-Class Witch Doctor

Episode 109

“It must have been at this point…”

Damian opened his eyes wide as he stopped the mechanical horse carriage and descended into the valley of Utah.

It was a gorge that got deeper and deeper.

If the road that Damian and his party passed toward the Principality of Parma was an active area formed of knee-high trees and large and small rocks, the current place they are on is a rocky area that is too wide for two people to stand side by side.

“It’s a bunch. light.”

“I got it, master!”

Dig!

Then, at Damian’s words, as Mungchi gathered his two wings and created a mana sphere, the darkness that had surrounded them gradually began to retreat as if it had stopped for a moment.

[Notice: New terrain information obtained!]

[Current location: Land of Black Rock]

[Notice: New location information has been updated!]

< Land of Black Rock >.

It was a hidden, hidden street at the bottom of the Utah Valley, through which only the gloomy wind flowed.

“It’s pretty dark, yes.”

“Yes, human!”

Chunsam tickled the chin of the bunch as he looked at the walls of black rocks towering tens of meters on either side.

It was a completely different feeling from the ground.

Even just standing still, there is a gloomy feeling, and the sound of the strange rocks making is a place reminiscent of Gwigok Mountain Lodge at first glance.

“Sniff sniff. sniff sniff.”

“huh?”

And Chun-sam couldn’t help but tilt his head involuntarily as he saw Damian sticking his nose into the outer wall of the black rock like a dog.

“nephew?”

“Sniff… Huh?”

“Why are you smelling it?”

“Oh, it’s a bit difficult to find with the naked eye.”

Damian then pointed to his nose as if embarrassed.

“What are you talking about…”

Sniff sniff sniff!

Chun-sam scratched his sideburns as he watched Damian speed ahead with a sniff.

I didn’t understand.

smell?

What do you mean smell?

At first glance, it seemed that there was a sour smell in the air, but Chunsam was enveloped in the feeling that even that was easily blown away by the dreary atmosphere in the bedrock area.

“Hey man, do you smell it too?”

“I don’t know, you bastard!”

It was because the wad that was floating the mana sphere on Chunsam’s shoulder in the first place did not know what the smell Damian was talking about was.

‘What could be the reason? How could my nephew have said such a thing without thinking…’

sniff sniff! sniff sniff!

And while Chunsam sniffed at Damian as he ran through the bedrock at high speed.

The moment when the sunlight that had flowed in over my head for tens of meters gradually lost even a handful of light and fell into complete darkness.

“Sour… smell?”

Chunsam could feel the stench passing through his nostrils along with the damp air blowing from the Kirikorum swamp.

It smelled sour, like a vinegar bottle opened somewhere.

[Notice: WARNING! Warning!]

[Notice: Unknown gazes are felt from the surroundings!]

[Notice: Unknown hostility is felt from the surroundings!]

‘That’s right.’

Tring!

Damian nodded as he watched the system message float in front of his eyes.

It was the moment when speculation became certain.

A distinctive smell that intensifies from the moment the land of black rocks is immersed in complete darkness.

And the sharp malice that prevails in this black bedrock area where not a single light shines through.

Meanwhile, Damian confirms that the rocky area in the darkness he can see through is gradually expanding into a round shape due to the additional effect of the bundle of mana spheres and < Sixth Sense >.

At last, I could personally feel that the memories of my previous life and the zone in front of my eyes overlapped like a déjà vu.

“…uncle?”

“huh?”

“I think you should prepare for battle soon.”

Whoa!

It happened at the same time that Damian secretly whirled the mana circle and raised mana.

‘It reminds me of the past.’

Damian smiled as he watched the system messages blink at regular intervals.

It was because he remembered the time when he had passed through this place in his previous life.

Of course, he didn’t come to free pass Chunsam’s adventurer’s license like he does now, but at the time he was just a beginner adventurer with a silver tier.

The request to catch a spider hiding in the valley of Utah and bring the spoils was famous for being the most difficult of gold-level quests, and Damian had a party with eight silver-level adventurers, including himself, and went on an expedition.

It also had a distinctive sour smell.

Discovered by a user who tamed a wolf among the party members, this place was the only clue created by the remnants of spiders that had eaten dozens of kilograms of food every day and strong acidic corrosive body fluids.

“Jake? What’s wrong?」

「Kongkong!」

「Smells like that?」

「Kkongkong!」

「…What kind of smell is this?」

In other words, Damian was able to walk around the black rocky land like this like his own home only because he had memorized the entire Utah Valley. It was possible because he knew these clues in advance along with his memory.

“My nephew, this smell…”

“You’re right about what you think.”

oh oh oh!

Damian answered Chunsam’s question while looking at the circular bedrock area.

At first glance, it looked like a huge cave.

The land of the abyss, which not only boasts a terrible concentration to sting the nose with the stench of rotting corpses and the thick sour smell, but also seems to absorb all the light from the mana spheres floated by the bunch.

[Notice: WARNING! Warning!]

[Notice: An intense energy of death is sweeping over this place!]

[Notice: The residents of the haven will appear!]

Deed deed deed!

And at the same time as Damian raised the mana, Chunsam slung the Ohamma over his shoulder and a sound like dozens of insects crawling down en masse began to resonate from the ceiling of the dark cave.

– Kiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

It was a tearing roar.

* * *

“It’s pouring so hard.”

“It’s a little… a lot, right?”

Doo doo doo doo doo!

Chunsam and Damian broke into cold sweats as spiders poured down from the ceiling.

It was a sight that would send chills down the spine.

Hundreds of spiders, as if they were shining a lantern alone in the dark due to the mana spheres floated by the bunch, and as if a huge darkness was rippling.

Although the size was half that of an Ungoliant, it was small enough to be invisible, but considering that it was comparable to a large dog, the sight in front of us was overwhelming.

[Witch doctor]

[Revive the lion]

Faaaaaah!

Eventually, dozens of magic circles appeared on the floor where Damian was sitting, which happened at the same time.

“bundle! Are you ready!”

“I’m ready, master!”

“To the ceiling of the entire army—open fire!”

Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo!!

As Damian pointed his finger at the ceiling, hundreds of stingers shot into the air.

There were dozens of new chicks.

The corps of new chicks, who had never been taken out since the defense of Aldeon Fortress, and thus seemed to be no match for the spiders pouring down from the ceiling.

However, considering that the attack of the new chick corps was master-level poison needle shooting due to the effect of < Boncoulet's Poisoned Rooster >, it was not an attack that could be ignored even if it was spiders pouring from the ceiling.

[Lion Regeneration]

Level: 1

Attribute: Summon

Description: Summons a summoned beast of the same level as the caster. The number of objects is proportional to the caster’s magic and intelligence stats, and they can use some of their abilities during life. Each skill level is given a unique characteristic.

*Level 1: Attack power and defense power increased by 25%.

*Level 3: Increases magic resistance and status ailment resistance by 25%.

*Level 5: Increases attack speed and movement speed by 100%.

*Level 7: Every 180 seconds, the boss casts < Berser >.

*Level 10: Resummon with 100% chance upon death.

The skills he changed after he changed jobs increased the attack and defense of the new chick corps by a whopping 25%.

As long as the additional skill power is increased by 35% due to the effect of < Tesaring >, which increases the power regardless of the attribute of the skill.

Damian’s newbies were no longer level 1 X-bob monsters, but monster newbies reaching a whopping level 70.

“Hey hey!”

Quaang!

When one of the spiders hit by the sting landed on his head, Chunsam’s Ohamma hit a home run while drawing a trajectory.

These were the first spiders I had ever seen.

If the Ungoliants he destroyed earlier boasted dark green spiked exoskeletons, these spiders have impressive dark red stripes on their smooth exoskeletons.

“Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!”

“Kiik!!”

And Chunsam was able to vaguely guess that these 70 cm tall spiders attacked with their six jaws and legs without even strong acidic corrosive body fluids, and that the level was lower than that of the Ungoliants.

“Nephew, what are these?”

“I’ll follow you.”

“Can I follow you?”

“yes. They are the offspring of the queen and the guards guarding this place. Sometimes it becomes food for the queen.”

“aha?”

So-called Queen’s offspring, bodyguards, and low-class mass-produced objects used as daily bread.

They were < Red Soldier Spiders >.

[Red Soldier Spider]

A soldier spider guarding the queen’s resting place. They all become adults within a week after birth. Compared to wild Ungoliants, they have relatively weak physical abilities, but they have a unique signal system that allows them to perform group activities and strategic movements. It has a habit of catching and killing all living things around the sanctuary, and both the projection projections and venom glands have deteriorated.

Species: Nerubian Spider

Type: Normal

Level: 32

Special Note: If a certain number of objects die, the queen may appear, so be very careful!

“Quyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!”

While Damian and Chunsam were chatting, some of the red soldier spiders screamed.

It seemed that they were communicating with each other.

It’s a fact that anyone can tell that even if someone who doesn’t know the language of spiders hears it, it’s never favorable.

“Noisy.”

pop! pop! pop! pop! pop!

And while Damian fired < Spirit Arrows > at those who appeared to be commanding entities at first glance, he began to radiate an aura of graphite toward dozens of soldier spiders that had descended to the floor before he knew it.

“good.”

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

As if the black death was about to return, the < Plague Outbreak > erupted with fervent force and attacked the red soldier spiders ravenously.

“Queeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!”

“…!”

As Damian fired the < Vengeful Spirit Arrows > with terrifying momentum in all directions, a sharp sound echoed above his head.

It was one of the spiders that fell from the ceiling.

Even the < Spirit Arrow >, which automatically tracks and flies monsters, was not able to catch it due to the overwhelming amount, so the moment when the jaw torn into six parts opened as if to tear off Damian’s head.

“nephew!! Keep your head down!!”

Perong!

Soon after, Damian instinctively turned his head due to the < Sixth Sense >, and at the same time, an Ohama with terrifying power passed over his head.

It was an attack that if he hadn’t avoided it, his own head would have disappeared without a trace, not the red soldier spider.

“…uncle.”

“Yes?”

“See you in 10 minutes.”

oh oh oh!

Eventually, Damien’s new model began to be surrounded by hundreds of ghosts.
