Chapter 23 - Chapter Twenty-Three: Spider

"Can you feel it?" Florian asked Klien. He doesn't know what to do and he can feel how his heartbeat fasten just by feeling how intense the gaze was. It was different to the gaze he felt before he receive his power.

That gaze from the cloud feels more powerful, yet he can tell that it was not dangerous, and it gave him warmth. But the way how this stares is keeping an eye on him, making it more visible to him how dangerous it is, how it gives him chills and making him to run away as far as he could.

"Feel what?"

"The stare."

"Are there some girls looking at me? Where?" Klien even move his head and find any girl from all the students just to find where that gaze can be. Or where that girl is.

"Not that one. Those--" Florian failed to finish his sentence when a black smoke appears on the ground on their right side foot. All the students drop their eyes on the floor and follow where the black smoke as it doesn't seem to be going to the entrance but to the other way.

Like there's another path to leave the dungeon. Which knows to be impossible since a dungeon is just a one way. If it happens to have a two entrance - something that never happens yet for the past 10 years - it will become the most dangerous dungeon that will ever exist.

Florian removes his eyes on the smoke as he can still feel the gaze. He roams his eyes to find where it can be coming from but failed to make it. Not until he decided to look above him, making him regret his decision.

He looked at it from eye to eye and all he can feel is how his body becomes frozen and stuck. How his toes and fingers lost all its blood and on how he can never let go of his eyes on its eyes.

Like a secret technique that was used in a battle, 'to never remove your eyes on your enemy'.

He tried secretly moving his hand to reach his dull sword, but the eyes seems like it can detect even a tiny movement as it seems to on its guard.

He wasn't hoping for it, but a black gigantic spider above them is staring right into him. All its eyes are dropped on him and watching his every move. Not minding what happens surrounds him as long as it can see him.

Despite the noise that the other students are making, it does not stop Florian to feel alone and afraid. It was like the spider only has an eye on him simply because it identifies who, among the weakest, is the weaker.

He was never afraid of spiders. He loves them and enjoys seeing them. But this moment change the way he sees the spider. Those big and hairy legs, how it makes look like those hairs of the spider, are the same size as an average 10-year-old child.

The large circle of the spider eyes makes almost twice his height. It was big enough to squish them alive if it decide to drop its body on them. A thought that Florian doesn't want to think again.

"Florian? You were looking up for a while..." Klien said, as he stares at Florian, his neck almost becomes part of his back. His brows become one. He was so curious about what's making Florian look right above them and not removing his eyes on it for a while now.

"Is there something magical in there?" He asked. Decide to look above them as well as he becomes curious what makes Florian stares at it for a really long time. But when his eyes see what makes Florian froze in his position, he then felt how cold his fingers are.

Been a long time since they entered the dungeon, and no one notice how this spider monster keeps an eye on them and following every move they make.

"A spider..." Klien mumbled. One student heard Klien, but did not understand what he says. She tilted her head while looking at Florian and Klien. Wondering what was going on inside their head and why do they look like an idiot snapping their neck by looking up for a long time?

She poked her friend and make them look at the two idiotic boys doing nothing. And in the middle of laughing, she starts to notice a white thin thread that reflects some light. She fixed her glasses that dropped on her nose and try to focus her eyes on a thread that she sees earlier.

It can not be just her seeing random stuffs and imagining things.

Little by little, the thing she thought was just a mirage or her seeing things that weren't there becomes true.

There is really a thin thread on the ceiling of the dungeon, located to where the two idiotic students are looking. She moves her body side way to make it more easy for her to look above them.

"Holy..." when horror hits her nerve she starts letting out a high pitch shout. The voice echoes and bounces throughout the dungeon, as there is no other place for the voice to go than the entrance they got inside earlier.

All the students cover their ears as the voice keeps on echoing all over the place. They all look at the girl with their menacing look. She was shaking all over her body as her arms are raised and her finger is pointing on above them.

With a frowned face, all of them look at above them. Doing what Florian has been doing since earlier. And despite all the noise that the girl made, the spider was unbothered by the noise and still looking at him.

"Fuck!" A one boy cursed. He opens his hands and place them above each other, forming a red light on both of his palm. Collecting all his body energy and transferring it to his palm, creating a lightning thunderbolt on his palm and shooting it straight into the spider's head.

The lightning has enough power to get inside the hair of the spider and make it shake a little. All the students, including Klien and Florian, run all the way back to the entrance of the dungeon.

Just little did they know that this dungeon moves inside, making it like a maze, where it can become impossible to leave.
