“So fast…”
With Mia’s original four limbs, it is like she has eight legs crawling on the ground.
Moreover, the flexibility and pushing force of the spider legs are very strong.
Carrying the lightweight Mia, the crawling speed exceeds the human limit.
In addition, Mia can use the barbs at her joints to burrow into the ground, allowing for rapid changes in direction… In short, her mobility has greatly increased.
“If I get hit, the curse might affect me… I need to restrain her as much as possible without injury.”
Maintaining a distance of five meters at all times.
Mia circulated around Han Dong at the fastest speed, trying to find an unguarded angle and an opportunity for a lethal strike.
“Mr. Han Dong, do you need my help?”
Detecting a whiff of danger, Chen Li, who was practicing evil techniques in the prison, proactively sent a message.
“No need… this girl is a bit difficult, I need to personally verify some things.”
“Alright, be careful, sir.”
Just as Han Dong and Chen Li were communicating mentally, in the brief moment he was distracted.
A wave of killing intent rolled in.
Mia, in her spider form, seized the opportunity and targeted an unguarded angle from behind, launching a swift attack.
Four sharp spider legs enveloped in cursed aura, aiming to directly pierce through Han Dong’s body as soon as they came within attack range…
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The sharp spider legs lashed out vehemently like a spear.
Each strike was aimed at a spot hard to dodge, even including some preemptive movements for the next attack, making it extremely hard to evade.
However… repeated attacks failed to touch Han Dong.
Despite Han Dong’s seemingly small stature, he managed to dodge at the critical moments. There seemed to be an effortless elegance to his movements.
“What is that?”
The witch and the Great Plague Chief, atop the roof bedroom, were temporarily side-tracked by the intense battle between the two juniors.
The witch noticed an important detail.
Just as Mia ‘transformed’ into a spider, a minor change occurred within Han Dong… an eye emerged between his eyebrows.
“Sensory Stitching? Mr. Black White’s masterpiece? No… this is not a normal eye: a fusion of crow and human eye? That’s not it either.
Because of the presence of this eye, this young man’s perception greatly increased.
Allowing him to see through the carriers of black witchcraft, able to perceive the attack of the spider stinger.
This eye… Where did it come from?”
Contrary to the astonishment of the witch.
The Great Plague Chief remained silent, evidently knowing where the eye came from.
It was this very eye that had helped the Plague Knights decipher an important treasure map.
Seeing Han Dong expertly utilizing the ‘eye’ in battle without any sign of contamination, the Great Plague Chief gave a knowing smile.
“In just three months, he has already become adept at using this eye? Even Kaylonia couldn’t detect any problems. Truly deserving of being chosen by Black White… Controlling pollution is also a good thing.”
After his internal commentary, the Great Plague Chief commented:
“Perception is one thing, but being able to skillfully dodge such fierce attacks proves his own physical condition is also excellent, particularly his ‘nervous reflex.’
Three months ago, he was a weak, fragile boy who couldn’t bear a single blow.”
Yes.
The main reason Han Dong could dodge each spider leg stab was the ‘Little Demon Eye.’
While Mia was using her curse, Han Dong also activated his ‘cheat device.’
In the face of one spider leg thrust after another.
Han Dong just needed to continuously ‘see through’ them.
He conveyed the trajectory of the spider leg stab to his brain in real time.
After the brain processed this information, he generated the optimal evasion route. Han Dong’s body then carried out the corresponding evasion movements.
The eye → The brain → Bodily functions.
Without any one of these, he would fail!
Suddenly.
Mia’s movements sped up abruptly, trying to break this balance.
At the same time, she used her mouth, attempting to bite a dangerous area on Han Dong’s body – his right arm.
This sudden turn of events disrupted Han Dong’s evasion.
“Hmm? Speeding up…”
Under his sleeve, his right arm seemed to have some kind of tumour squirming.
With a startling speed, Han Dong’s brain responded in 0.1s, switching from defence to attack.
Bang!
Facing Mia’s biting mouth.
Han Dong’s right arm seemed to become a bit larger than usual, his palm reaching the size of a professional basketball player’s.
His five fingers clutched Mia’s face perfectly.
[Huge Power]
The difference in strength was very clear.
Han Dong halted Mia’s forward motion, who was in her spider form, canceling out her momentum.
With a smack, he pressed her heavily into the ground.
If the surface of the practice field had not been loose soil, but concrete… at this hit, Mia’s skull would have been cracked.
Despite being on soft ground.
Mia temporarily lost her ability to move, her consciousness dazed momentarily after her head took a hit.
Of course, there was a price for switching from defence to attack.
Two sharp spider legs grazed Han Dong’s body.
One of the legs scratched his waist, wounding his skin down to Leather’s layer.
A deep purple-black curse mark appeared on his wound. However, for some unknown reason, the curse could not spread within Han Dong.
The other leg sliced through the sleeve of his right arm.
Through the cut in the sleeve, a thick and vein-covered arm could be seen hidden inside.
One could even faintly see a terrifying giant eye near the shoulder of his arm.
Similarly, the curse from the cut could not spread in Han Dong’s arm… And as some tentacles squirmed inside the wound, the curse was gradually absorbed.
“The winner is decided.”
Han Dong could completely crush her head using the power in his right arm during the period of Mia’s consciousness disturbance.
Mia, although made violent by the curse.
Was still wearing the mask, and being in her ‘first stage’, she still had some consciousness and barely self-control… she was well aware that she had lost in this trial.
Defeated despite going all-out.
Although the witch might scold her, it wouldn’t be too harsh.
The curse was lifted.
The spider legs growing on her back and the thorns that sprouted from her joints gradually turned into black smoke, once again being absorbed into the mask… the power of the Curse was sealed again.
The haze in Mia’s eyes disappeared.
Han Dong also retracted his right arm, returning it to normal size.
At the same time, the stitched bat created by the witch for watching the battle was directly blasted away.
The witch seemed to be in a bad mood and was no longer watching the practice field. She was preparing to vent her anger on the body of the Great Plague Chief.
Mia, who was pressed deep into the soil, looked drained.
Small beads of sweat continuously dripped from her forehead. She stuttered, “You… you’re so strong.”
“Sorry, I was a bit heavy-handed… You should be able to stand up on your own, right?”
Although Han Dong apologized verbally, he turned around and retreated a distance, not showing any intention to help Mia up.
This apparently ‘straight-man’ act had a deeper meaning.
“… I can.”
Mia lay on the ground for half a minute before slowly getting up as she began to recover.
“So… I lost! As promised, I’ll tell you my ‘Curse Secret’.”
Who would have thought, Han Dong glanced around with his Little Demon Eye, shrugged dismissively with a cool face.
“No need, whatever you say wouldn’t be the truth anyway.
I remember you said before, based on the outcome of this trial, one can make a request to the other, right?”
Mia looked surprised.
Han Dong continued, “The witch is no longer monitoring here… I will speak straightforwardly then.
Mia Seminovich, your acting needs improvement.
My only request is that you stop bothering me, okay?”
At Han Dong’s words.
Mia, originally looking weak and pitiful, abruptly changed her expression.
Her black hair hanging down in front, with a sickly sweet expression, stared with her lifeless black eyes, fixating on Han Dong.
A terrifying twisted smile appeared on her face.
“Oh!? When did you notice?”
