âAhh!!!â
Pitiful, continuous screams could be heard coming from Higurashi Shrine.
Alex Rockefeller saw a demonic spider pouncing on Aurelius Augustus thanks to him running slightly
slower. The spider burrowed into his skin right away. In the next second, Aurelius cried out pitifully and
fell to the ground. Immediately after that, countless demonic spiders swarmed on him.
âRun! Help!â
âCan anyone save us?â
A group of Japanese folks ran away frantically while crying loudly. Their voices were so loud that even
people at the foot of the mountain could hear them.
Meanwhile, because Uncle Drake had withdrawn his imposing aura and his spiritual pressure, the
people at the foot of the mountain could feel the pressure on their bodies weakening. In fact, it was
already gone.
After that, people started climbing up the mountain to check out what exactly was happening in
Higurashi Shrine.
This resulted in a tragic incident.
Before these people even made it through the shrineâs main entrance, they saw a group of demonic
spiders with human races rushing out. They couldnât even react in time before the demonic spiders
pounced on them and drowned them.
The corpses of devoured people emanated bouts of black energy that swirled in the air above the
shrine.
Alex noticed that the Soul Collection Coffin was vibrating even more intensely.
Meanwhile, the demonic spiders that had devoured human flesh experienced a drastic change in their
aura. Their bodies emanated an odd energy.
At the same time, a family of three made it to Higurashi Shrine. They were none other than Clara Beck
and her parents. As soon as they arrived at the shrineâ s entrance, they saw the person in front of them
being engulfed by a group of demonic spiders with human faces. But, most importantly, they
recognized that person as one of their neighbors in the same building. They even chatted together on
their way up the mountain.
In the end, they heard him crying pitifully.
Barely two seconds had passed before his voice disappeared completely.
Shuffle!
When the demonic spiders dispersed, they saw his bare skeleton.
âAhh!!!â
Claraâs mother screamed fearfully. Her feet trembled violently, and she nearly peed herself. Clara and
her father werenât in any better shape.
The demonic spiders were attracted by the screams, instantly jumping up to pounce at the three of
them.
âArgh!â
âWeâre done for!â
When Clara saw the large group of demonic spiders jumping over, an idea occurred to her. She thought
of the skeleton on the ground, and she knew her life was over. She would soon turn into a pile of white
bones. She, too, instinctually, started screaming while she covered her face.
Shuffle!
Right then, she suddenly felt her body becoming light. She had been lifted off the ground. A strong arm
had lifted her.
When Clara opened her eyes, she saw Alexâs face. Alex had saved her in the nick of time.
At that instant, she felt so touched that she wanted to cry. However, she quickly thought of her parents.
âAhh! Alex, my parents! Save my parents. Theyâre right thereâ¦â
Clara unconsciously looked down. In the end, she saw a few people being devoured by the demonic
spiders with human faces. She couldnât recognize them from their faces anymore.
At first, Clara thought that those were her parents. She started crying sadly.
âClara, Clara, weâre here. We arenât dead!â It was then that Clara heard her motherâs voice.
As she turned around, she saw that her parents were still alive. One of them was being carried by Alex
with his other arm, while the other was being carried by the figure of a semi-blurred woman.
That semi-blurred woman was naturally Maiko Chiba.
Clara sighed in relief. However, when she looked down at the scene that looked like Shura Field, she
honestly couldnât accept it. Her entire face went pale. It felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Her
eyes filled with fear while she turned to look at Alex. âAlex⦠Alex, those are ordinary humans. Canâ¦
Can you let them go? Donât kill them, please?â
Clara thought that Alex and the two others had released those demonic spiders with human faces
down there!
âHave you misunderstood something?â Alex asked flatly. Right then, his body was hovering in the air.
After that, he charged downward and brought them to the ground.
