Lord of the Time: I Can Reincarnate Infinitely

Once Caleb took his first step. The not-so-clear dilapidated outside blocked by the metallic gate showed fully its majesty. Well, majesty was the worst word to describe it.

It was a ghost town. No human in sight. Thick spider webs envelop the entire town. Web strings connect each building like an intricate network.

It was both amazing and terrifying at the same. Just one wrong step would it take for one to get entangled with them. Calen wasn't sure if it was his imagination. But he could feel the webs give a cold glint akin to that of blades.

'So this is the Spider Town...'

"Sheeshhh." Jin who was in front of them, put one of his fingers on his mouth with a zipping gesture.

'Be quiet?'

That's when Caleb understood the reason why... Three five-meter spiders were crawling not far away in the shadows. Two on the roofs of a random building. One in the wall and the other two on the web connect to what once seemed like the town mayor's office.

"We need to tread carefully from now on and avoid alerting them," Fushigiro said, which made the members and the teenagers nod.

They don't want to fight in such a creepy place, knowing that hundreds or even thousands of spiders could show up and gang up on them at any given point in time.

"Are they really Tier 9s?" Caleb asked in a low voice. If the bastards or the minions of the spider queen were really Tier 9. Then it would be their doom. Even six or ten minions would surely send them to the gates of hell earlier than scheduled.

Jin seems to think for a while. His eyes landed back and forth on the five spiders before saying. "It does not seem to be the case. Only two of the spiders are Tier 9 of the five. The other three seem to be just on the level of wild beasts. That is to say, not every minion of the Spider Queen has reached Tier 9."

"That's a relief." As if proving his feelings, Dunn pretended to wipe out the sweat on his forehead, even though he didn't really have one.

...

Under Jin's guidance, they began walking forward. They used the shadows as their cover to thread carefully. They didn't dare to be careless and make any sounds, afraid that the spiders would find their presence.

The first spiders that they have to pass are those on the wall of a black building that seems to be used for making weapons. In other words, blacksmithing hut... There's even a faded name on a signboard called 'Gojo's Infinity Blade and Arms'. It couldn't be lamer than it could be.

Following closely behind the three men; Fushigiro, Dunn, and Jin. Caleb felt the silhouette of the spiders become bigger and bigger as they got nearer.

The spiders were currently fiddling with the webs. Caleb guessed that they were strengthening the strings of something like that. At least, they aren't aware of their presence yet.

'What ugly creatures are these.'

Caleb and others held their breath. Rina was behind the kids to make sure about their safety and assure them. Caleb studied the spiders curiously. The spiders had red stripes on their body. Since spiders are Arachnids, they possess eight jointed legs which sets them apart from insects, which usually have six legs. Their legs were as thick as five human thighs combined.

The two spiders' body is divided into two main parts: the cephalothorax (front) and the abdomen (rear). A narrow waist-like structure connects these two sections called the pedicel.

Like all arachnids, spiders have an exoskeleton made of a tough, chitinous material. This exoskeleton provides protection and support for the spider's body. The difference is that there's the color of steel and there is a skeleton tattoo in the middle. Caleb didn't know their purpose, but he felt that they weren't just for design. It was his danger senses developed after hundreds that kept warning him.

What's more, the two also specialized mouthparts called chelicerae, which end in fangs. These fangs are used to inject venom into their prey and assist in feeding.

'Fortunately, I don't have spider phobia...'

The most disturbing thing was the fact that their heads were that of a brown monkey. It was a bizarre combination, to say the least...

Located at the rear end of the abdomen, spinnerets are structures that produce silk. Silk is used for web-building, creating egg sacs, and sometimes as a safety line for climbing. Then they have eight small eyes. However, due to the size of the two, the eyes were as big as his balls, that it gave him a shiver on his spine.

Overall, the spiders look hideous and could only exist in monster movies on Earth. After holding their breath for a whole two minutes, they passed the two spiders smoothly. The next one was the spider crawling on the web like a watch guard.

"It seems we can't avoid this one. It's in a high view, and there are no shadows to cover us in that location. Fighting it is inevitable." With a grimace, Jin took his two daggers and looked at everyone. Seeing their attention on him, he pointed at the spider, which covered all routes. "We need to kill it quickly and not use moves that would cause noise. For that, I suggest the use of Soft Fist."

Fushigiro and Dunn glanced at the spider coldly. On the other hand, the three teenagers swallowed unconsciously.

"We'll hold Fatty for a while then." Luna and Andre said with a hint of determination in their voice, causing Fushigiro to look quietly at them and Fatty. For a moment, Luna and Andre felt cold. After a few seconds, Fushigiro smiled. "You take care of him, then."

"Yes, sir!" x2

Caleb patted Clifford, Luna, and Andre. "Wish us luck."

Just like that, it was decided that Dunn was the one who would bait the spider. Jin, him, and Rina would be the ones responsible for holding it in place. It was a plan that would make them kill the Spider without making a sound at the fastest speed. This operation would determine their fate!
