Chapter 21
Garami noticed the leading tortoise's attempts of an attack from the moment it started to accelerate. Not to mention the nature of the attack. She had already witnessed the power of the jaws that the tortoises had on Floor 9, on the very day she was reborn. And she was no longer any newborn either.
Right before the leading tortoise could close its mouth on Garami, the latter produces massive amounts of dark aura. So much that the tortoise had to withdraw its head away from it.
True to its status as a guardian spawned by a Dungeon, the tortoise's instinct regarding danger was excellent. The dark aura would have decreased its stats by quite the amount if it had touched the tortoise, not to mention any potential status ailments. However, that was also the leading tortoise's downfall.
Garami was never counting on the [Aura of Darkness] to affect the tortoise. Instead, she withdrew a certain something from her [Spatial Storage]. By using [Thread Control] and [Throwing], Garami launched her secret weapon towards the leading tortoise's face.
*Splat!*
A wet sound was heard when the secret weapon landed... glued itself, on the tortoise's face. It was a ginormous mass of sticky webs. So many and so sticky webs, that it had turned into a single clump of glue-like substance. A failure work of Garami's when she practiced her birdlime traps.
The webs were stuck in the tortoise's mouth, suffocating it as Garami used [Thread Control] to spread the thread clump to cover the tortoise's eyes and mouth, efficiently blindfolding and gagging it. It would be a matter of time before it would die from asphyxiation.
Moving her attention away from the gagged tortoise, Garami started to think of her next move regarding the remaining two tortoises.
One of the two didn't waste any time in trying to take over for its fallen brethren, but Garami used [Thread Control] through the thread she still held to drag the head of the first tortoise towards the attacking one, making the two of them collide into each other.
Not wasting any time, Garami withdrew more sticky web mass to glue the two tortoises onto each other and to the ground. Garami then made some distance from the two tortoises, efficiently neutralizing both of them for the moment. Then, all that remained was-
*Bang!*
