Chapter 83: Encounter With The Monster In The School

Hinata’s voice came through their communication earbuds, calm but urgent. "Something just teleported into the building."

Everyone became even more alert, bodies tensing as they prepared for the confrontation.

The air in the moonlit auditorium grew thick with anticipation, the silence broken only by the faint creak of old wooden floors and the distant rustle of leaves outside the windows.

Hearts beat faster, breaths became shallower, and hands tightened around weapons or glowed with ready power. The group spread out instinctively, eyes scanning the shadows, muscles coiled like springs.

This was no longer just reconnaissance — something had arrived, and it was fast.

To them, this monster probably wasn’t Jorogumo.

The way it moved — darting, unpredictable, teleporting directly into the building instead of skittering in from the outside — suggested something smarter, more tactical.

Jorogumo was known for brute force and overwhelming numbers of spider children.

This felt different, like a scout or a different predator testing their defenses.

The group exchanged quick glances, tension rising as they realized they might be facing an unknown threat in the dark, empty school.

Then they started chasing after it.

The sound of rapid, skittering footsteps echoed down the long hallway ahead, growing fainter as the creature fled.

The group broke into a run, their black outfits blending with the shadows as they sprinted through the darkened corridors.

But it was too fast.

They struggled to catch up, boots pounding against the tiled floors, breaths coming in sharp gasps.

Hinata’s voice crackled through the earbuds, guiding them:

"It’s heading toward the east wing, moving fast"

The team pushed harder, turning corners sharply, but the creature always stayed just out of reach, its movements erratic and supernatural.

Hinata told Hanako through their communication gear, her voice steady despite the chase,

"Hanako, could you cast a spell to prevent this monster from teleporting out of the building?"

Hanako, running beside Rin, nodded sharply.

Her powers weren’t limited to charm and hypnosis — she had spent years studying ancient spells, learning to weave magic that could bind space and seal pathways. She was one of the few in the club who combined seductive charm with practical arcane knowledge.

Hanako stopped at a corner, planting her feet firmly.

She closed her eyes for a moment, her high ponytail swaying as she raised both hands.

In a clear, resonant voice she recited a short, ancient binding spell:

"By threads of shadow and chains of light, seal the paths unseen from mortal sight. No escape through void or tear, remain within these walls I swear."

As the last word left her lips, the entire school building lit up with a soft, ethereal blue glow for about two seconds ...every window, door, and wall pulsing with faint magical energy,

before fading back to normal darkness.

The spell had taken hold, locking teleportation within the building.

Hanako reported back through the earbuds, her breathing slightly labored from the run, "It’s done."

They still kept chasing after the unknown monster, making it hard to capture it due to its incredible speed and the school being so dark.

The hallways were a maze of shadows, only occasional moonlight from high windows providing any visibility. The creature darted around corners, its footsteps clicking like giant insect legs on tile, sometimes vanishing and reappearing further ahead with a faint shimmer of teleportation energy.

The group pushed hard, lungs burning, legs aching as they navigated the twisting corridors, jumping over benches and sliding around corners.

Hinata’s voice guided them constantly: "Left corridor, it’s moving toward the science labs..."

The darkness made everything disorienting, forcing them to rely on sound and Hinata’s vision.

Nagumo leaped forward with his super strength, launching himself high toward the creature’s shadow. For a moment, it looked like he would grab it from behind, his muscular arms reaching out.

But the monster quickly dodged with unnatural speed, twisting mid-air and vanishing in a blur.

Nagumo crashed into the wall instead, cracking the plaster but quickly recovering, shaking his head as he sprinted after it again.

Now they could see the monster a little better, though still not clearly — just a fast-moving shadow darting through the hallways.

From what they could glimpse, it had a woman’s body with long flowing hair, but it had multiple long, jointed spider legs sprouting from its back, clicking rapidly as it moved around .

It was different from Jorogumo, who had a full human torso and a massive spider lower body.

This creature seemed more hybrid, agile and tactical, using its spider legs at it back for speed and balance while the human part allowed it to manipulate objects or cast spells.

The monster kept dodging their attacks.

Akane launched bright fire blasts from her hands, streams of flame lighting up the dark hallways as she tried to corner it.

Naoya sent thick vines erupting from the floor to wrap around its legs, but the creature leaped and teleported away before they could ensnare it.

Nagumo charged with raw super strength, throwing punches that cracked walls and doors, but the monster was always one step ahead, its shadow flickering out of reach.

Nagumo sprinted ahead, building momentum before leaping high toward the ceiling to cut off the monster’s path.

For a split second, it looked like he would land on it.

But the monster quickly shot thick, sticky webs upward, trapping Nagumo against the corner of the ceiling and walls.

The webs were strong and elastic, pinning him in place as he struggled, tearing at them with his powerful hands. Chunks of web broke away, but more kept coming, slowing him down as the monster sprinted off again, its spider legs clicking rapidly down the hallway.

Now Shiki’s vampires — two beautiful ladies with long hair and glowing red eyes — sprinted after the monster.

They moved with graceful, predatory speed, their black eyes flashing as they engaged in a fierce fight.

One vampire summoned howling winds that sliced through the air like blades, while the other used telekinesis to hurl desks and chairs at the creature.

The monster dodged and countered with its own webs and quick teleports, the battle turning into a chaotic blur of shadows, wind, and flying objects in the dark school hallway.

The group pushed forward, the chase growing more intense as they closed in on the mysterious intruder, the night filled with the sounds of combat and the tension of an unknown threat.
