Ch. 63.2
Clang!

The Great Blade Spider scraped against the ceiling and walls, rushing towards Baek Yu-Seol at an incredible speed.

The legs of the Blade Spider were not only sharp but also capable of moving freely in such a manner, making its agility even more remarkable than one would expect.

However, he had never felt that he was falling behind in terms of agility.

[Flash]

After instantly moving to the wall, he raced along the wall and approached the Blade Spider, and slashed one of its legs with the Argento Sword.

Crack!

A splash of green blood sprayed out, but it wasn't a significant wound. It was because the Blade Spider was covered in tough armor.

Thud!

As if enraged, the Great Blade Spider swung its legs randomly, but he evaded by tilting his head back or shifting his body to the side, and he struck its abdomen with the blade once again.

Baek Yu-Seol wiped off the cold sweat and glanced at the slightly slippery shoes on the ground. "Ah, the oil coating is indeed slippery."

He already knew the weakness of the Great Blade Spider. It couldn't maneuver properly on slippery terrain, so he took advantage of that and spread oil on various ceilings and platforms.

Additionally, occasionally throwing potions with sparks into the spider's webs caused electricity to disperse in all directions.

By utilizing the fact that electricity could flow through the spider's webs, he disrupted its movements as much as possible.

The attack had zero effect since it was merely sparks from potions created with alchemy, not actual magic.

Fortunately, he wore shoes that offered some resistance to slipperiness and electricity, so he wasn't greatly affected. However, the spider was already staggering.

"Ugh!"

Crack!

But he couldn't let his guard down. While struggling to maintain balance on the slippery surface, he deflected the spider's oncoming leg and flashed towards the front web in an attempt to escape.

"Damn it."

The surroundings were filled with sharp spider webs, and one wrong flash could result in his body being torn apart.

It was a precarious situation.

But he had no intention of fleeing from here. It was worth the challenge. Above all, he had to obtain the reward dropped by the Great Blade Spider.

In fact, facing the Great Blade Spider itself in this place had little significance for clearing the Persona Gate, as it was more like an extra space.

While a simple dance battle at the ballroom would have been sufficient to clear it.

However, many players who were playing the game chose to clear the dungeon through dance battles.

Only a very small number of players ignored the dance battles and forcefully hunted down the Great Blade Spider, and in doing so, they discovered the secrets hidden in this place.

It was a kind of behind-the-scenes story.

The reasons behind the occurrence of the ballroom; how the Duchess acquired the ability to perform the Seduction Dance; the truth about all of that was hidden here.

Of course, it was a part that could be overlooked, so many players simply chose the dance battle option. After all, the Duchess was just an extra boss.

"Wasn't the Great Blade Spider actually set as the Duchess's husband, Duke Aeron...?"
