"Is this what you mean by try not to get distracted?"

Van could not help but mutter as he stared at the… beast that showed itself on the other side of the door as it fully opened. The first thing that came into view was the beast's… gigantic breasts which jiggled with even the simplest of movements.

Even its long hair that reached almost to the floor was not able to cover the voluptuous bounty that it carried. And unlike the spider-humans that Van has seen so far, this was the first one that actually also had the body of a human. A very attractive human, that is.

Van could not help but gulp as he blinked a couple of times, trying to stray his eyes away from the human parts of the arachne. It has been a while since he has last seen a naked woman so he couldn't really concentrate that much. But after a while, he shook his hand and successfully removed his gaze.

Van then looked at Nisha, who had her eyebrows furrowed as she clicked her tongue. The 3 men all carried serious expressions, their eyebrows steady. However, their inflating and twitching noses and the sides of their mouths that slowly wanted to lift up failed their attempt to hide the happiness that they were feeling inside.

Well… Van could not really blame them. It truly was too hard not to get distracted with something like this. Unlike the greater arachne which was gigantic in size, this so-called Portal Boss was of a more moderate size, like the three that Van fought earlier.

The room that the arachnaea was in had pillars scattered all over it, some were already broken in half, and some still carried the ceiling.

"Why… is it not even looking at us?", Van whispered as he carefully approached Nisha from behind.

"...I don't know", Nisha squinted her eyes as she stared at the arachnaea, "It's quite different from the arachnaea I have seen before"

"Doesn't matter", Scott disrupted Van and Nisha's conversation, "At the end of the day it's still a beast, even if it's the most beautiful arachnaea I have seen so far"

"Pft", the two Mage-type could not help but snicker as they heard Scott's words, "You're right about that", they whispered as they released a breathy chuckle.

Hearing the men's thoughts, Nisha could not help but click his tongue as she readied her blade, "Same plan?", she whispered.

"Same plan", Scott said as he raised his shield, "Boy, just stay here", he said as he slowly stepped forward. Nisha and the other two quickly hid behind him as they entered the Portal Boss' room.

"Let's go!", Scott then suddenly shouted as he quickened his steps. The others followed him from behind… but as soon as they passed the doorway, the four of them suddenly disappeared.

"!!!"

Van could not help but blink his eyes a couple of times as he looked around, "G… guys?", Van whispered.

'What just happened?', Van thought. He didn't even remove his gaze from the members of the 7-Headed Cerberus as they walked inside, but for some reason, they just suddenly vanished. Without warning or even any indication, they just suddenly disappeared.

Did it have something to do with the doorway? Did they transfer them someplace else like the Portal?

Numerous thoughts were running inside Van's mind as he carefully approached the room. He then slowly reached out his hand, checking if his hand would disappear as it passed through the doorway as well, but contrary to his expectations, nothing happened.

Instead, the only thing it managed to do was attract the arachnaea's attention as it turned its head towards him. Van was about to turn on his [Time Perception] skill, but before he could do so, he felt a tinge of pain in his right cheek.

"W… what", Van could not help but gulp as he felt a warm trail dripping from his face. He then quickly touched his face, and it really was indeed blood.

And as soon as he saw his red fingers, he quickly activated [Time Perception] so he could retreat and think of a plan. But as he did so, he felt his vision shift as he slowly found himself falling to the floor, his foot being dragged towards the arachnaea. The sudden movement quickly made him woozy, but he went superspeed before his dizziness could worsen.

He then slammed his weapon, a makeshift spear made from an arachne's leg, towards the thing that was dragging his foot, a sling of a web that came from the arachnaea. However, no matter how much he tried to remove or cut the web, his weapon wasn't able to even move the web.

"F… f*ck", Van could not help but panic as the arachnaea continued to drag him. Even though he had his [Time Perception] skill on, the speed at which he was being pulled was nevertheless obviously fast. He reckoned that if he didn't have his skills on, he would have already been in the hands of the enemy.

"This… is a Portal Boss?", Van could not help but gulp nervously as he got nearer and nearer to the monster. He wondered what kind of strategy the members of the 7-Head Cerberus would use against this kind of monster.

Van then closed his eyes and let out a deep breath. He was doing it again. His mind being in disarray was the reason that he almost died earlier. What mattered in battles was a calm mind, he thought as carefully tried to stand up.

Since he was not able to cut the arachnaea's web, then he might as well use this opportunity to attack her head-on. And so, with that decisive thought, he rushed towards the arachnaea, with his leg-weapon firmly pointed towards its target, the arachnaea's beautiful eyes.

However, halfway through his advance, a sort of web-like armor slowly formed on the arachnaea's body. No. It only seemed slow since Van had his [Time Perception] skill on, but if he didn't, then the appearance of the web armor would have surely been almost instantaneous.

"!!!"

Van still continued his advance despite the sudden appearance of the armor, but alas, the web was even harder than the sling of the web that pulled his foot, and the only thing that his weapon could do was completely bounce off of it and slightly budge the arachnaea, causing its gigantic breasts to jiggle.

"...Oh"

Van's eyes could not help but widen as he quickly realized something. It hadn't even been a minute, but he knew...

...He was no match for the Portal Boss.
