I arrived where Kumoko was, but she wasn't there anymore. She had gone somewhere else. I confess I started to worry a little, but I think she's okay.
I followed the same path we had used and returned to the cave. And there she was.
'Urgh, why did you bring them? You're an idiot! I thought you were going to kill them all and come back!'
'I heard something interesting. They're going to get something important inside the labyrinth.'
'And you captured them just because you're curious? You're joking?! Leave them here, take them out, and deal with them.'
'What? Are you scared? They're not going to do anything.'
'It's not that, it's not a good idea.' Kumoko gesticulated wildly, showing her displeasure.
The two men were watching us fearfully as we communicated.
'As soon as I find out what they're after, I'll kill them and feed them to the monsters. It'll be quick.'
'They don't want to tell you what they are looking for. Do you think they'll change their minds when they enter the labyrinth?'
'I have a plan.'
'Urrgghh, I still think that's a bad idea. Oh, and speaking of which, I saw something interesting while you were out. I walked around for a few minutes and managed to find a lake... But it looked dangerous.'
'Is there a lake nearby?'
I remember Kumoko reaching the sea, but I don't remember a lake. My memories are getting hazier and hazier. I need to remember some details. It would be interesting to have the novel to read again.
Would God do that for me?
'Yes, it isn't too far from here, but it looked dangerous. I saw something giant inside. There must be monsters everywhere in this place.'
'You have night vision. Couldn't you see what it was?'
'No. But it was big... It looked dangerous.'
'Well, we'll deal with that later.'
I started to prepare the teleportation magic, and Kumoko continued to complain and be against taking the men into the labyrinth. I ignored it and focused on my magic to teleport us all together.
But...
BOOOOOMMM~~
A massive explosion happened. Suddenly, I felt my whole body shiver for a moment. It was the feeling of approaching death. I immediately edited my Defense Status to 150,000.
Kumoko, who hadn't managed to react to the surprise attack, was protected by me.
Rocks began to fall, I threw the men under me, and the rocks fell on me. 'Shit, shit, I didn't think there was anything dangerous out here.'
After so long, I felt something I couldn't face had appeared.
I threw all the rocks away, and Kumoko, just below me, started screaming in despair.
'WHAT IS IT, WHAT IS IT?! WE'RE GOING TO DIE!!!'
Everything above our heads had disappeared. It all happened in the space of a few seconds.
'Hiiro, stay right here, don't move.' My eyes moved around the area until they finally reached the source of the attack. Flying in the sky was a beautiful woman with a majestic appearance.
She looked at me with cold eyes.
'What is she doing here? And the status... I'm sure it wasn't like that!'
Suddenly, a substantial change had taken place. My abnormal evolution has caused a change in the world itself. What is it? Did that God modify my enemies so that it wouldn't be so easy?
SHE'S TOO STRONG!!!!

*Change of POV*
In a large room, a grown man who looked to be between 28 and 35 years old was talking to a beautiful woman who didn't seem to be listening to what he had to say.
The man, who was a handsome man with black hair with white stripes, sighed. His elegant white clothes with blue details were eye-catching.
"I told you before, didn't I? We have work to do."
"I'm not in the mood. I'm going out now." The woman replied. The woman was none other than Ariel, or rather... Demon Lord. She seemed indifferent to everything the man had to say. Her thoughts were on something else.
The presence inside the labyrinth. That presence was unusual, and it made her very curious. Curious enough to want to go there and see what was going on.
Also, the Queen Taratect had been killed. And it makes her angry.
"Balto, take care of everything while I'm gone." Without thinking, Ariel threw herself out of the living room window and flew off at high speed. She watched the darkness as she traveled through the sky, searching for that strange presence.
It didn't take her long to find it.
Just below, in the darkness, she could see a giant spider she didn't recognize. A species she didn't know, which made it all the more bizarre. After all, Ariel was the original Taratect.
How could she not know that species of spider?
'Who?' Ariel narrowed her eyes and continued to follow the spider's every move. The humans didn't matter to Ariel. She just wanted to see what that spider was up to.
Ariel then saw the spider carry the two humans into a cave.
'Is she taking them to eat them?' Ariel began to sense the spatial magic and decided to attack, not wanting them to teleport. A powerful magic took over the entire cave, causing the whole cave to be thrown into the air.
The remaining stones fell on the giant spider, which threw everything away.
Ariel stood still and noticed that something had changed.
'The spider's defense has gone up, but its abilities are still the same. That's new to me.'
Something new and unexpected happened.
