Ray checked the new type of soul he had received.
Right now, he didn't know any kind of use of the medium soul.
Ray didn't see any items in the mystery merchant that requires a medium soul.
He is thinking that perhaps the medium souls are probably some of the items required in upgrading the sacred crest on higher levels.
Then Ray checked the special accessory, Spider Slayer's Ring.
It was the real reward this time.

____________________________
Seeing the poison resistance from the ring, Ray thought that this would save him a lot of souls.
The earlier fight still gave Ray a bit of leeway, but if the number of the spiders is more than 4 or 5 times it was, then it would've given him a lot of problems.
His mana wouldn't hold...
He would have to save his Mana for the Kamikazes, but he would have needed to fight more and more spiders in close range.
And the venoms and poisons from the spiders would bring him a lot of problems.
The biggest head-ache inducing part of the fight earlier was the ability of the Brood Queen to produce and control a lot of spiders.
If it had been alone, then everything would've been a lot easier.
There is also the ability of the Brood queen to create some kind of new variant spider like the Firefighter spider earlier.
Ray needed to kill the Firefighters personally with either a throwing knife or a short sword earlier.
Ray didn't know what the Brood Queen needed in order to make a new specie, but if it could make some kind of variant that has an ability that Ray couldn't defend against, then he would've been forced to retreat.
Ray equipped the Ring.
[Spider Slayer's Ring Equipped!]
[Effects have activated!]
Ray felt himself being embraced by some kind of power as he felt the effects of the ring activates.
Ray activated a [Flame thrower] with the elementals closer into his hands than before.
"Flame thrower"
As he felt safe, Ray would then test the [Flame thrower] a few times, to find out the safest distance.
And after several usage, he found out that he is now completely immune from his flame thrower. Or at least from the level of fire, it could give right now.
He could now resist the fire from the [flame thrower], just like how the Firefighter spiders had earlier.
Ray picked a corpse of a small spider, it's a corpse of a firefighter spider that hadn't finished its fast-paced growth.
Holding it in his right hand, Ray then activated the skill again.
"Flame thrower"
*Vshhhh!!!
Flames burst from Ray's hand as a torrent of Flames then consumed the corpse, burning it into nothing.
The nearer the target is from the torrent, the greater the damage from the [Flame thrower] was, and since the corpse is in his hands, it had received the highest damage possible.
As is now, Ray could now use the skill while holding his target on his hands.
Ray then checked the next skills the ring had given.
'Next is the poison resistance'
Poison resistance is explanatory, but he certainly wouldn't drink a poison vial just to try its effects.
Ray took out a poison vial from a poison spider and coated a throwing knife, consuming a third of the vial's poison.
Afterward, Ray gives himself a small cut on his finger using the coated throwing knife.
"..."
It seems that there are no effects.
Seeing no changes and feeling no negative effects Ray then took a vial taken from the Brood Queen, as he then pours a third of it, into the cut.
"!?"
This time Ray felt himself become paralyzed for a moment, about a little less than a second, but afterward, there are no other effects.
It seems that at least such a level of poison won't kill him for now.
Moving on from the poison resistance, Ray now looked at the final skill on the Spider Slayer's Ring.

Seeing the skill, Ray then activated it.
"Summon Giant Wasp"
Mana suddenly gathered in front of Ray as he saw a complex magic circle.
Light then gathered on it as a Giant Wasp half as big as an adult person appeared.

___________________________
Ray felt some kind of connection enabling him to control the Mutated Giant Wasp.
As he felt so, he ordered the Mutated Giant Wasp to carry him to see if he could use it in order to carry him in high places.
But he found out to his disappointment that it couldn't do so.
"That's a pity"
Still, this summoned creature would be a huge help to him.
Ray then check the total of rewards he had received from the battle today.

Even though Ray had used a thousand small souls earlier to upgrade his sacred crest's level, he still managed to reach such a huge amount.
Besides the souls, Ray had also received additional equipment and items from the spiders.
Gaining even another rare equipment from a Killer Spider.
There are two new items he received.

On the other hand, the Venom Spiders didn't give any drops.
Ray could've delayed killing the Brood Queen and left out a few larvae-making holes in order to farm larvae for souls, but Ray had a few concerns.
One was the ability of the queen to produce new variant species of spider, but his real concern was the time.
The puny larvae only produce a 1st grade spider, and afterward, the production has slowed down, and it couldn't even produce 1st grade spiders anymore, only hatching 0 grades for a time.
Ray needed time, he didn't know how long it would take him to find and kill the other bosses, and there's also the central island and the other areas.
It's been half a day already.
Ray looked at the sky, and saw that there's no hint of it going dark.
'This place is really strange'
Ray looked beyond the dome of web, and could still see the forest that is still burning.
"I guess it's time to find the treasure tree"
...
Leaving the Wasp behind, Ray had entered the burning forest alone.
It seems that the effects of the fire resistance are magical, it had even spread into his clothes.
After a time, Ray had then finally managed to arrive at the center of the forest.
In front of Ray is a burnt tree.
[Treasure Tree (Dead)]
"Well, that's too bad..."
...
