Can I have your power stones? :3

As I was walking away, I again noticed the presence of something behind me, but this time there was something... And it was a spider. A much smaller spider than me, it was even a bit cute.
So, I used appraisal on it. The spider was paralyzed as it looked at me.

After I saw the vast Status of this little spider in front of me, I was paralyzed for a moment and began to wonder if it was her. And then, to my surprise, the spider started to swing her front legs desperately.
'Is she trying to communicate? Kumoko?' It's her! There's no way it's not her. Look at that status... She's only level 3, but her number of skills is insane!
So I started swinging my legs, too.
I swung my big legs and tried to gesture for her to follow me.
Kumoko seemed to understand and followed me to an area with a small pile of bodies. I approached my pile of bodies, and with the sharp blades that I now had on the end of my legs, I cut the bodies.
After that, I took the blood that came out and started to write.
But... How am I going to do that?
'I was born in Canada. I can only speak English. Kumoko is Japanese... There's no way we can communicate.'
I thought about using my editing skills to modify a skill and create a language skill, but it was still on cooldown. 'Even so, I think she'll understand.'
'I am human.'
I wrote on the wall of the labyrinth.
[ I AM HUMAN ]
When I'd finished, Kumoko began to swing her legs rapidly and jump. I could see a smile on her face. She then approached me and started gesturing desperately.
But before we could continue.
Break~~
I heard the sound of something breaking, and my vision turned upside down.
I was paralyzed. I couldn't move my neck.
'What's that? Has my neck been broken? What's happened?'
As well as seeing everything upside down and unable to move, Kumoko stopped moving as if time had stopped. No, time has stopped, I'm sure.
A drop of blood that had been thrown into the air was still in the air.
"Who are you?"
Then I heard a woman's voice that made my whole body shiver. It was the voice of a young woman, but her voice had so much power that it made me want to kill myself just to get out of here as quickly as possible.
But I couldn't move.
The danger is closing in on me, and I can't move.

*Change of POV*
'Aah, what do I do?' Kumoko desperately started swinging her legs, trying to gesture to the spider to leave her alone. 'Leave me alone, you damn monster.'
Kumoko kept a serious expression despite being scared to death at that moment.
And then...
'It's gesticulating back!' To Kumoko's shock, the spider moved its legs just as she did, leaving Kumoko entirely at a loss as to what to do. Then she gestured back at the giant spider.
'I'm a friend. I won't hurt you.' It's not as if she could.
And then, the spider made some strange gestures and started walking away.
Kumoko followed, still afraid. She became even more scared when the giant spider slashed the bodies of some monsters with its claws like it was no big deal and then took their blood.
And with the blood, the spider wrote something on the wall.
[ I AM HUMAN ]
Kumoko was Japanese, but she understood those words. She had taken English at school before, after all.
'Are you a human like me?! I thought I was the only one being reincarnated as a disgusting animal!'
Kumoko, for some reason, felt very happy. A big smile appeared, and she started gesticulating and jumping happily towards the giant spider.
However, something strange suddenly happened.
'Are?' Kumoko's body froze for a moment. And then, suddenly, she could see the giant spider's neck being broken and its head being turned upside down. It was so sudden.
Kumoko was speechless. No, she couldn't say anything even if she tried. She was being prevented from even thinking.
Kumoko's eyes lost more and more of their sparkle. The last thing Kumoko saw before losing consciousness was an unknown woman whose face she couldn't see. The woman put her hand on the giant spider and made it disappear.
