Free Web NovelChapter 127: Weirdest Quest Ever (2)
"You should hold on to something, Shinon!"
Lova’s grip tightened on the steering wheel as she accelerated towards the insectoid, her eyes focused on the looming creature before them. Determination radiated from her as she aimed to use the car as a weapon, intending to ram into the insectoid and crush it under the vehicle’s weight.
Lova knew the creature was strong enough to not die from the attack, but it would severely injure it. Hopefully, it would be enough for them to capture it alive, as a living sample was more valuable to them than a dead one.
With a roar of the engine, the car surged forward, hurtling toward the menacing creature. But to their shock, the insectoid stood its ground, unfazed by the oncoming vehicle. Its massive form absorbed the impact with ease, its chitinous exoskeleton proving impenetrable to the force of the car.
"What the hell?" Lova yelled in disbelief.
The collision sent a jolt through the vehicle, rattling Lova and Shinon inside. The insectoid retaliated, its razor-sharp claws slicing through the metal, leaving deep gouges in its wake.
Lova fought to regain control of the car as it screeched to a halt, its wheels spinning against the creature’s sheer strength.
Breathing heavily, Lova and Shinon exchanged a glance, their expressions a mixture of disbelief and urgency. The insectoid towered over them, its gaze filled with predatory intent. It seemed to relish the challenge, its eyes glinting with a pang of savage hunger.
However, all was not good as the insectoid had damaged the gates with pincers as they refused to budge.
"We need a plan, and fast," Lova muttered through gritted teeth, her mind racing to find a solution. freewebnovёl.ƈom
She racked her brain, searching for weaknesses or vulnerabilities in the creature’s defences.
"For fuck’s sake, just use your ability!" Shinon exclaimed as he remembered Lova had killed an insectoid before.
"I... I can’t! I haven’t met the conditions!" she yelled back.
"What conditions!?"
Shinon was confused as he wasn’t aware of how Lova’s abilities worked. However, when he asked about the conditions, she blushed as if she was embarrassed.
"There’s... no time! You go and do something while I start charging up."
Shinon didn’t know what was happening, but he didn’t have much choice. If he did not do anything, the insectoid would gobble them up.
Shinon’s eyes flickered as he assessed the situation. He knew they needed to find a way to immobilise the insectoid, to gain the upper hand against its sheer strength and resilience.
Without missing a beat, Shinon sprang into action. He reached into his shadow, summoning the dark tendrils he had mastered. The shadowy extensions coiled around his arms, ready to unleash their power.

’You got to be kidding me!?’ Shinon was a bit taken aback by the new quest.
First, the system wanted him to be nice to Lova and engage in a conversation about cars and such, and now it was telling him to not break the door open when it was clearly jammed.
’What’s going to be the next quest? Sacrifice your arm to protect her?’
With a surge of strength, Shinon pushed open the car door, bracing himself against the insectoid’s assault. Thankfully, the door was still attached to the car, even though it was somewhat damaged.

’Yeah, yeah...’
The creature hissed and swiped at him, but Shinon dodged its sharp claws with calculated precision.
As the insectoid lunged forward, preparing to strike again, Shinon acted swiftly. He summoned his shadow tentacles, commanding them with practised precision. The dark tendrils shot out from his body, wrapping around the insectoid’s legs, constricting its movement.
However, the creature bit the tendrils in half using its pincers, surprising Shinon as it was the first time he had seen anything like that.
With a sudden burst of speed, the insectoid lunged forward, its razor-sharp claws aimed directly at Shinon’s chest. Reacting swiftly, he sidestepped the attack, narrowly evading the deadly swipe.
In response, he unleashed a barrage of strikes, his fists and feet a blur as he aimed for the insectoid’s vulnerable joints and underbelly.
His strikes landed precisely, but the creature’s exoskeleton proved a formidable defence. Each blow was absorbed by the hardened shell, causing minimal damage. The insectoid retaliated, its own attacks fueled by raw strength and ferocity.
Shinon ducked and weaved, narrowly dodging the creature’s onslaught. He danced around its massive form, utilising his agility and quick reflexes to his advantage.
His shadow tentacles extended, striking at the insectoid’s legs, attempting to disrupt its balance even if they couldn’t hold down the creature for extensive periods.
All this time, Shinon kept looking at Lova from the corner of his eyes. Her eyes were closed as if she was focusing on something, but her face was red like she was on fire.
As much as Shinon wanted to know more about her abilities so he could counter her when the need arose, he knew he had to focus on the insectoid before him, or his head would get squashed into a paste.
As Shinon was about to unleash another barrage of attacks, the insectoid got him with a kick, hurling Shion towards the car right next to the opened door.
Shinon grunted as he slowly got back up, but his eyes fell on what Lova was doing as he did. Both her hands were between her legs, and for a moment, Shinon thought she was pleasuring herself, which would have made sense seeing how flushed Lova’s cheeks were.
Well, technically, he was right. While Lova was pleasuring herself, it wasn’t in the usual sense. Instead, she pierced her thighs with a small blade while biting her lips.
"She’s a... masochist?" Shinon mumbled. "That’s the key to her abilities!?"
