Chapter 10 - Mother of all Spiders

" What kind of monstrosity is this?"

" This is the Neospider Queen, a one of the strongest type of neospiders that caused the destruction of this village, sheis also known as the " Mother of all spiders"...

The party happen to stumble a peak-level beast inside the wretched village, It was no other than the Neospider Queen

Our party was attacked by the large neospider, about the size of a normal hut, the spider launched an attack from the party, using it's long limbs as her weapon

" Watch out!"

Junior screamed at top of its lungs, warning it's party about an incoming attack, Soon enough, the members swiftly dodged and none was injured

I brought my Blood Sword blade down onto the Queen jutting limbs, With my first attack, I used all my strength to seperate the log-sized limbs from her body

After I sliced the limb directly, the queen screams out in pain, bleeding in the process, There, my party saw my actions and appraised it

"Eirene, did you made that cut,"

" Yes, hit directly in the legs, it is their weak spot,"

" Unbelievable"

The log-sized limbs were mostly the spider weak spots, She cannot move properly without her limbs, I managed to hit it using my Blood Sword, but an unexpected happen

" Huh?"

" What is it Junior?"

" The wound… it instantly healed"

Seeing that the spider leg diminished in an instant, The queen severed leg suddenly regenerates, restoring the missing limb in the process, Shocking the party's discovery

" What the… the limb I sliced earlier… it regenerates?'

Through my horror, the limb I sliced earlier suddenly restored, now the spider queen moves freely, attacking the party

In the middle of the fight between a large-ass spider, I used inspect to see the queen stats clearly

Neospider Queen

Skills: Burst Reduction, Acid Spit

Vitality: 10000

Strength: 24000

Defense: 50000

Agility: 12000

Mana: 10000

" Neospider Queen", Even just by going in the stats, the neospider queen was on a entirely different level than any ordinary spiders that I fought, this was no joke compared to an Peak-level beasts, even an Luminous Knights cannot handle these type of beasts

Hence the name Neospider Queens ,I think that there are other types of neospiders, it meant that there are stronger neospiders than this,

There, I searched through the spider stats mid-fight

Burst Reduction- regenenerates wounds instantly upon taking fatal damage, restoring blood flows and restoring limbs

Burst Reduction is literally a buffed health Regeneration, high damage attacks won't work at the queen, basically that the neospider is invincible

Acid spit- releases a highly lethal acid that can poison any living creatures

This is more dangerous, if I happen to make contact of the acids, I would surely die, Where this explains a peak-level beasts, I told my party about the spider abilities

" Guys, the spider has instant regeneration, we need to kill it quickly or else she would recover"

" Okay, Eirene… we will follow your lead"

Then, the party knew that they cannot defeat the spider with taking lethal damage, So they opposed a retreat

" Let's leave this place from now on… The neospider is too powerful, let us retreat"

I knew that the stats of the neospider queen exceeds five digits, the same stats as the Luminous Knights, we knew that we cannot defeat this monstrous creature in one go

" Sure… let's leave this village"

Then, the party ran with their lives, they sprinted with all their might, hoping to escape the danger they faced while battling a singular beast, it is too powerful, and they will not risk their lives just for fighting this creature

Then, an unexpected happen…

The queen opened her mouth and releases a rain of acid, falling towards the party, corroding every bit of material that is left, the corrosion is so strong that it can melt steel,

The party saw this and instinctively dodged the ball of acid easily, but one of us was unlucky,

Den, who was running at the same direction, suddenly caught up by the ball of acid, corroding it's face until it's skull melts off, His face was unrecognizable due to the strong acid, Killing him in the process

We ignored Den injuries at that time, sprinting towards the village main gate, but the supporting frames caught up by a huge blob of acid, corroding it and destroys the village gates entirely, leaving the party trapped in the village

" Shit, the village gates was destroyed… how are we gonna escape?" Chard said vigorously

" Well, our only option is to fight the queen" Junior said calmly

Now, the party's life is in danger, Den has died and the remaining survivors faced serious injuries whilst battling the neospider queen, Now they were forced to slay the queen to save their lives

Suddenly, our night vision faded, it seems that Den died due to the acid, there the party troubled seeing in the dark,

I can only see a glimpse of a spider, waiting our party to attack at the dark and gloomy village,

" Damn, Den died this instant.. we need to kill that Queen, or else we will die" Chard said

" Guys, spilt up.. I will attract the spider, letting you guys escape" Junior said

Then, the party split up and ran across the village ruins, There, Chard and I went into a small hut, there we stood quiet, hoping to not detect our position

" Oh my god, Did Den died, What happened to him Eirene?"

" He was corroded by the spider acid"

" Oh…"

Upon hearing the bad news about Den, my body is getting weaker and the blood sword was about to diminish, I suspected that my mana meter was running out, then I used inspect to view my mana

Mana Meter: 200/2000

As soon enough, I saw my mana was about to ran out, There, I asked the party member prized healer, Chard, who stood beside me at the bricked hut

" Chard, can you restore my mana,"

" Sure, is it because of the Blood Sword"

" Yes, this Blood Sword drains my mana at a prolonged use"

" Yeah, beats me though ."

Then, Chard raises his hand and touched my forehead directly, There, a blue light emitted between my face, healing my mana directly,

It reminds me of the doctor from the hospital at Town Allure, it also emitted the same blue light as I restored mana,

There, I checked my mana meter with inspect

Mana Meter: 2000/2000

" Is your Mana fully recovered?" Chard said in a distinguished look

" Yes, it felt better"

Then, My energy suddenly restored into normal, there I can cast my Blood Sword freely, And at the bricked hut we hid earlier, suddenly shakes violently

The ground trembles as it moves closer, soon enough, we saw a big-ass spider once again, hiring from a far distance, we knew that we were in danger

As we unsheathed our weapons, a shadowy figure lunges out at top of the spider, holding a enormous mace.. from our shock, it was Junior

" Die you wretched spider"

If I was going to kill this queen down with a finishing move, it made sense to attack from behind, Targeting an enemy blind spot is just plain and basic strategy, but seeing that Junior launches himself with a big mace, I knew that the spider will not survive

Then, Junior aggressively bashed the spider's head, making it unconscious, then it collapsed on the ground, not dead.

Seeing this easy opportunity, Chard raises its lance into a designated position, activating his spear skill in the process, if I recalled easily, it was the impaling strike

Then, Chard chanted the word " Impaling Strike" at the top of his lungs, then he swiftly raises its lance and stabbed one of the spider eyes

" Ahh.. my eyes, I can't see" the spider caught Eirene attention

" Woah, this spider can talk" Eirene said in shock, But we ignored that for a while and Chard stabs the queen's eyes multiple times

Suddenly, the spider skill activated, the eyes that Chard pierced suddenly regenerates, regaining the spider vision more clearly, and the unconscious slowly faded

" Oh, the instant regeneration"

Also, the burst reduction that the skill possess negates all fatal damage that was received from the body, so my party powerful attacks are just meaningless from the spider,

" Shit, the spider awoken, we don't have any time left, we need to kill this beasts"

Seeing that their terrified faces, Junior and Chard used all their strength to kill the neospider queen easily, but the skill that the beast possess does not inflict a single damage,

While the spider stomps menacingly, Junior that was located on the spider blind spot, suddenly lend out a deafening roar, unleashing his skill that he used on dire situations

" Devil Contract (Strength), lend me your power"

Suddenly, Junior body expands in a more titanic form, much like a tanned gorilla, increasing it's strength stats to the fullest

Even without night vision, we can clearly see that he is bashing the spider thick skull until there was nothing left, Junior human skill was a devil contract, sacrificing half of its strength to become powerful at a given time

But the wracked skull of the spider immediately recovered due to the spider queen skill, The Burst Reduction, there were no damages applied at the skull, instead Junior met an undesirable fate

Because of the instant healing that the spider had, Junior loses his stamina and fell at the spider ground, crushing to death,

" Junior, we all gonna die!!" Chard said in horror

Seeing that Junior was crushed like a tomato, we knew that there is no chance of surviving this hellhole,

Because of this, Chard emotions enraged after he witnessed his fallen partner, there as he stood beside the neospider queen, he lunged his lance straight to the queen's mouth, bleeding in the process,

The lance dealt too much damage due to Chard skill, Spear enhancer, this defies the lance damage… and the damage was equivalent to an instant death,

With Chard exhaustion, he slowly collapsed through the ground, accepting it's defeat, and lost its consciousness, there, the spider saw this as a free kill and crushed the boy to death

" What a pity human… all of you didn't know that I am the queen of all spiders"

There, the queen speaks in a fluent tone, understand every bit of her words have, There, the queen continued

" Oh… looks like I ran out of mana, I cannot activate my burst reduction more easily"

The queen talks her problem, she cannot heal due to the lack of mana from her body… is it because she used all her mana to heal her wounds, there I used Inspect to view her mana meter

Neospider Queen

Mana Meter: 0/ 10000

" Huh… the spider mana plummeted to zero, I guess that she is weak and cannot heal her wounds properly"

With the party last surving member, Eirene… she saw the opportunity to kill the queen beasts for good, there she activated her blood sword completely, ready to avenge her fallen partners

"With her inability to heal her wounds, I can kill this spider easily with only one strike.. "
