The Demon King Spider rushed up to Ethan in no time, its massive legs like the scythe of death stabbing straight down at him.
Luckily, relying on his danger sense, Ethan dodged in advance the moment the scythe came down.
BOOM!
The giant Demon King Spider's leg punched a huge hole straight into the ground.
Sand and dirt flew everywhere.
Some larger chunks of rock slammed into Ethan's back, making him feel a sharp sting of pain.
'Damn, this thing really doesn't hold back.'
'Since magic attacks don't work, then I'll just switch to physical attacks.'
Ethan quickly put away his bow, then pulled out the Dragon-Slaying Blade from his tail ring. Taking advantage of the moment, he dashed straight toward the underside of the giant Demon King Spider.
"Slide tackle!"
Ethan raised the Dragon-Slaying Blade high.
However, when Ethan slid under the giant Demon King Spider using the slide skill, he realized he had overestimated his own height and underestimated the spider's.
Even though he had jumped onto a boulder, there was still about two and a half meters between him and the spider's belly.
And even with the Dragon-Slaying Blade raised high, only the very tip barely grazed the spider's underside, just slicing open a thin layer of its outer shell.
"Chee? Chee!"
The Demon King Spider lowered its head, its eight strange eyes staring at Ethan.
There was a hint of mockery on its face, as if it were sneering at him, ["Did you come here to serve yourself up? Well then, thanks."]
"What the hell!"
Seeing his slide attack fail, Ethan immediately turned, trying to escape the spider's attack range.
But the giant Demon King Spider had finally located him, so there was no way it would let him go so easily. It instantly opened its huge mouth.
Blegh!
A torrent of green liquid gushed out from the spider's mouth.
The green fluid, like sulfuric acid, splashed over Ethan in an instant, like accidentally knocking into a showerhead while using the bathroom, drenching his head and face.
And his entire body was soaked through.
"Ahhhh!"
Ethan screamed immediately.
After all, this liquid was basically like sulfuric acid. Even if it didn't cripple him, it should at least corrode a layer of his skin.
But then, after quite a while passed, the slight stinging sensation was still just that, a slight sting.
The intense burning pain he had imagined never came. Could it be that his pain nerves hadn't reacted yet?
Ethan reached up and touched his face.
Swipe!
The expected large patches of peeling skin or damage didn't appear.
All he felt was a sticky, slimy texture.
Ethan quickly pulled his hand back and looked at it. Aside from the mucus, his skin wasn't even red.
"What's going on?"
Ethan glanced at the ground corroded by the green liquid. It had already been eaten away into a pitted mess, still releasing a sharp, choking black smoke.
Meanwhile, the self-heating fur coat on his body had been completely corroded, leaving only a few strips of fabric hanging around his neck.
Luckily, the invisibility cloak was fine.
The wizard hat was fine too.
But those two were high-grade items, so it made sense they could withstand acid corrosion.
Still, if this acid could even dissolve fur coats and the ground, then its corrosiveness should be insanely strong. There was no reason he should be completely fine after getting hit by it.
[Poison Resistance +0]
[Poison Resistance +0.1]
[Poison Resistance +0]
[Poison Resistance +0.1]
[Poison Resistance…]
"Huh?"
Hearing the system notifications, Ethan finally understood.
So it was because his poison resistance had already been maxed out by the Fart Bees, so this level of toxin didn't faze him at all.
'But wait, isn't my poison resistance already maxed?'
'What's with this +0.1 now?'
But… right now, Ethan didn't have time to study it in detail.
He quickly pulled his cloak tighter and ran off at full speed. After he had run quite a distance, the giant Demon King Spider was still scraping around the spot where Ethan had just been with its pedipalps, as if searching for him. But after rummaging for a long time, it found nothing.
"Screech!"
The giant Demon King Spider let out an angry roar.
Then its countless offspring swarmed toward it again, only to quickly scatter in all directions, seemingly searching for Ethan's whereabouts.
'This damn giant Demon King Spider just won't take anything, immune to both magic and physical attacks. How the hell am I supposed to fight this?'
Ethan started rummaging through his tail ring at high speed.
"Tentacle Sunflower Air Bread!"
'Nope.'
Spiders are basically raised on poison, this stuff won't work on them.
"What about Omen Petal Air Bread?"
'Maybe it's worth a try.'
'And if I am not wrong, this place is crawling with the giant Demon King Spider's children and grandchildren, right?'
'If they all ate even a little bit, wouldn't that giant Demon King Spider be done for?'
"Hahaha! I really am a genius."
The moment he thought of this idea, Ethan was overjoyed. He stood there with his hands on his hips acting smug for a moment, then tore the Omen Petal Air Bread into pieces and tossed them all around.
Quite a few crumbs immediately stuck to the spider webs.
Of course, Ethan ran off right after throwing the bread, making sure he didn't get surrounded by the little Demon King Spiders. Meanwhile, those small spiders sensed the vibrations in the web and quickly crawled over to where the crumbs were.
But what Ethan didn't expect was, after touching the Omen Petal Air Bread crumbs with their pedipalps, the spiders all gave up on them and turned away, as if they knew the stuff couldn't be eaten.
"Uh…", Ethan froze for a moment, then finally remembered something.
'That is… spiders don't eat bread.'
Spiders only eat living things, especially things that move. So they had no interest at all in his Omen Petal bread.
'What a blunder.'
What else could he use to deal with it?
To take down this big guy, Ethan was practically scratching his head raw.
'Search, search, search…'
Finally, when Ethan spotted something in his tail ring, his eyes lit up immediately.
