Chapter 3 - Spiders

As I travelled, we come across a strange hall. It had various inscriptions and craving on the walls, showing the war between humans and other races. Looking at those, I was in daze, when I heard a voice.

Spiders are coming from the wall. As they come closer, some of them shoot webs to restrict my motions, while others opened their fang to bite me. I instantly summoned arrows and attacked their opened mouth, while mouse helps me cutting the webs, while ants were diverting their attention. After freeing, I also participated in the fight.

I jumped as high as I can, and used my wings to glide, and crushed some of them, while using claw to cut some, after which I launched my mouth cannon, burning a lot of them. Just when I thought that it ended, another wave appeared, and they are far more diverse and different as if commanded by someone.

Some were of almost the size of mine, while some were not even large enough to my teeth, but what attracted my attention where one with human shape, and each limbs are of different types of weapon, like first pair in shape of sickles, followed by 2 pairs of sword and then leg. They were good in close combat, but lacked coordination among each other.

"I think, I should first deal with these humanoid one, followed by giants spider. Ahh", when I looked, I saw little ones had managed to bypass my scales and are bitting me.

I used fire magic to cover everything, even myself, which burnt those spiders. The humanoid one hide behind the giant spiders, which used shield magic to stop the fire.

"They are quite knowledgeable in magic, huh, this is going to be troublesome, but that also means they have some intelligence too."

After which I dashed towards them, leading the ants, mouse and other monstrous insects I encountered in the way. They launched webs to restrict the motion, I burnt one of the web, and my followers spread it to others one.

One of the humanoid spider pounced at me, to which I twisted my body, and dodge the attack, and before it could do another attack, I hit it with my tail, throwing him several meters away, and soon I dashed towards it, and pierced my claw to the concentration of magic energy in its body.

Soon, all the spiders were eliminated, I managed to reap lot of souls, and earned a lot from them, like magic skills such as thread magic, shield, acceleration, etc. I also started to practice some, when suddenly whole area started to shake. Lot of spiders appeared, surrounding me, led by a titanic spider. It was black in color, with eight dark red eyes staring at me, giving off strange pressure. It looked at me, and roared, like tried to suppress me, and unconsciously a roar came out of me, far more stronger than it ever was, pushing it several steps back.

It was like something awoke inside me, and adrenaline rushed up, and I run towards it. Before I could control, it was already too late, as several of the spider also rushed towards me, while some shooting webs, and some firing venoms and other long range spells.

I summon a shield, reinforce it with fire arrows, which firing randomly, and summoned my minions. An all out war started among us. I spread my wing, took off, and float towards the giant mother spider, and attacked on her, with my claws towards its skull.

It blackflipped and shot its web on me, and it was poisonous, if not for my skills I would definitely be poisoned. Just as I came out, it appeared before me, and attacked using its limbs, as well as used several spells like stone bullets, water bullets, etc.

I instantly cast shield to block the attacks, and started to manifest blades and arrows, and launched them, some formed of mana with different elements, while some were just mist, covered with special aura.

As I got the gap, I launched another attacks from my mouth, this time, I altered it with different elements of the mana I could conjure, like fire, poison, water, wind, etc.

The battle came to halt, and every participants stared at us, the two titanic beings colliding with each other. It used magic as much as possible, while I tried to attack more physically, and the one who suffered among us is the minions, especially which belongs to it. After the long battle, it finally emptied mana, as well as stamina, as for me, the energy pool reinforced me, despite being not operation, but still it had gathered a lot of energy.

I first chopped down its leg, after which beheading it. And what awaited next was the death of all the minions. After devouring it, I received lot of the skills from it, like venom magic, space magic, etc.
