Chapter 141 - Spider queen

The spider queen screech has awakened its babies, they swarmed towards Yunan from the eggs, the ceiling, and the ground. The attack was organised in a marvelous way, yet Yunan did not have the time to admire it.

The spider queen retreated just enough to let her children overwhelm the intruder, it ordered them to take up his attention while she spun her golden thread and dosed it with poison so poten it had a corrosive effect. She watched as the intruder summoned something that made it freeze for a second. The intruder had pitch black flames surrounding him and any of her children that got close was burned to ashes, not even a body left, the fear turned to rage, she screeched once more ordering her children to drown the intruder in poison and webs, he needs to die.

Yunan felt dizzy from all the screeching, his armor was already full from eating spiders and had fully evolved the spider related effects, even the bow was upgraded at least once, most notably is the spitting flames cloak, it now had an additional poison effect added thanks to the armor, the flames looked grim black and menacing. Yunan also found himself in need of activating the buffs on the armor to stay alive.

Yunan had an epiphany while dodging and blocking the spider swarm, what if he could directly store the poison and threads as they came within the range of automated looting, he asked the genie if it was possible since it was linked to the armor, the genie answered positively and promptly started to store anything dead and close to Yunan, saving Yunan some troubles, but there were still spiders that would suicide into the spitting flames barrier and made life harder for Yunan.

Yunan also contacted Ophelia who was reading in the infirmary and asked her if she can make a general antidote to all the poison in this floor, she said as long as she had enough spider glands and poison, and some other items, Yunan ordered the genie to provide everything for Ophelia and soon there was a tank of liquid poison, and another tank filled to the brim with freshly extracted glands, Ophelia started to work and Yunan returned his focus on the spider queen.

Yunan took out his newly upgraded long bow, and started shooting arrows coated in all elements at the spider queen to see which is most effective, he found the arrows with double wind and lighting coating had the best chance to pierce the think armor with a bonus of low paralysis on the boss, the arrow killed almost all of the spiderlings that it touched so he went for it. Yunan also used his multiple casting to cast ice spears and lighting bolts at the spiders swarming him.

The spider queen had made some kind of rope with all the time she was given by the swarm of her own children, and she started to throw it into seemingly random locations. The golden rope would stick and contract afterwards, she then started to lay eggs mid fight, those eggs would hatch seconds later and make their way towards the already swamped Yunan, however this new batch would climb the golden ropes the drop down near where Yunan the explode to douse Yunan in poison or sticky cement like substance that hardened after brief contact with the air making Yunan into a statue for a moment before he broke the shell and proceeded to fight his way to the spider queen.

The spider queen would run away everytime Yunan got close and layed new eggs and shot new ropes to make the fight harder for Yunan. She would occasionally shoot a poisoned stinger at Yunan adding more injuries and penetrating the armor.

Finally having enough foreplay Yunan activated the full power of the armor, something he had not done in a while, the buffs went up to 300%, and the shadow meld, invisibility and other effects were used immediately. The invisibility activated after shadow meld under the shadow of a falling spider, with invisibility, the spiders did not know where to attack, but they felt fear rising in their hearts. The suppression effect of the draconic nature caused the spiderlings to flee back into their corners even though they did not know where the threat came from.

Feeling the old and nostalgic feeling of the rush of new found power, Yunan teleported on top of the spider queen and turned the fight into a close combat fight, he used his short swords to hack the neck of the spider queen who responded fast by coating her entire body with a golden hard substance, it came from its pores like sweat and covered the whole body within a breath of time.

The spider queen rolled on the golden ropes in an attempt to make Yunan stick to them and leave its body, but unfortunately for her, Yunan was fully pushing his mana to create a very big ball from spitting flames with the aid of the armor, the pitch black poisonous flame took the shape of a great ball and it burned any roped that came close to Yunan. Once the ball was big enough Yunan engulfed the spider queen in it, the flames clung to the boss and slowly but surely cooked it to a crisp.

Yunan was now getting familiar with the newest effect of the armor, integration. The armor would allow Yunan to use any digested effect allowing it to be applied on any spell cast while Yunan was in contact with armor, even in medallion form. That effect was the one that added the poison effect to spitting flames, and after that the stickiness of the spider threads to the poison flames to ensure the spider queen could not escape from the flames.

Yunan promptly deactivated the 300% buff, his constitution was much better but still, there is nobody that can handle 3 times his own power added in such a rapid fashion, he could handle 100% fairly well, for now that is. After claiming the chest and the corpse of the boss, Yunan descended to the next floor, then went inside the portable home and into the infirmary, he let Ophelia check on his wounds and just in case his own healing and detoxification missed something.
