Spider Queen Arachnainera – 4
‘Actually, it’s no joke.’
As I watched spiders the size of my knee come from all sides, I felt a tickling feeling, as if insects were crawling all over my body.
As if the captains of the knights were in no different mood, the range of electricity, ice, and flame rising from their bodies widened even more.
“We’ll take care of those, so don’t mind and run, Delta.”
Rize lightly pushed me. As I approached the spider queen with that motion as a signal, the baby spiders rushed like a herd of sheep near the shepherd.
“How dare you!”
Of course, I couldn’t even touch a single fingertip and was swept away by the ice and flames.
It was a very exquisite power control that swept a wide area enough to secure enough space for me to run, but did not make me swept away.
Since each of the knight commanders had their own means of wide-area attack, one thing was certain.
Even if Claudia swung her greatsword, the baby spiders would explode, and the actual attack range was much larger because of the thunderbolts wrapped around her blade.
Like Rize, the spiderlings, instead of attacking, were often slowed down before approaching due to the frost fog and the icy rug that covered the area and froze while fidgeting.
Erica had nothing to say. Even though he was just swinging his weapon around with flames all over his body, the flames spread on his own and all the baby spiders were burned.
“Are you here to be eaten by me?”
Arachnaneira, who had summoned the spiderlings and backed away toward the wall for a moment, closed her expression as I approached, then let out a charming voice of her own and smiled.
“No, I came to kill you.”
“Kill? you? me?”
The giggles returned. I calmly took a stance. Anyway, enough time. Before the buff goes off, the knight commanders will organize all the baby spiders and join them.
“Can I?”
“Why do you think you can’t?”
“There is a reason here.”
Soft, long, thin fingers grabbed her breasts and gently kneaded them. Then, with her fingers, she gently stimulated the pink bumps at the end of her breasts.
Aegyo-filled moans and coquettish gestures were added. The movements were so natural that it seemed like it was something he had done quite a lot.
No, it’s not like it’s something you’ve done a lot, but you’ve actually done it a lot. It was the boss who seduced humans called Arachnaine and made them food.
“You are seriously mistaken about something. The reason I had that kind of reaction at first wasn’t because I was fascinated by the sight of my chest.”
“really? Then, where should I ask the body directly?”
As if she had regained her composure while chatting with me, the Spider Queen removed her hand from her chest, and a much more alluring smile appeared on her face than before.
First of all, it is a monster that seduces people and eats them according to the setting, but it was the first time that a player was tempted like this.
There was no way you could have a conversation with the boss during the boss fight. I don’t know if that side is talking one-sidedly.
“If you can, try it.”
It was me who moved first. I pounced on the arachninera, squinting at the floor to avoid the dark gray, watching the movements of its arms and legs.
The left forelimb of the spider part was lifted. It was an attack with deadly poison.
Just as ice accumulates even if Rize’s attack is deflected, Arachnainera’s leg attack also accumulates deadly poison regardless of whether it is deflected or blocked. So it was correct to avoid it by rolling.
I rolled my forelegs to avoid being slammed down and dug into my side to swing my sword. There was a slight cut in the place where the red blade grazed.
“Kyaang!”
A strangely bewitching moan broke out. If the moment ago when he was attacked by the knight commanders, he felt clearly in pain, but now that he had allowed the attack, he had a strong feeling that it was polite.
Or are you still trying to seduce me.
“It really hurts.”
Arachnaine, with a voluptuous voice, twisted her body and brought her finger close to her mouth. Then he stuck out his tongue and slashed it, dripping saliva on his finger and rubbing the scratched spot.
It was a very leisurely move.
Compared to the knight commanders who blew over 40% of their HP with just three attacks, they would only think that my attacks were worthy of being hit.
‘Let’s see how long that thought lasts.’
closed the distance again. The Spider Queen stretched out her arms towards me. grab attack. Quickly rolled back a couple of times and backed away.
Arachnainera’s arm cut through the air, and I took advantage of the gap to swing my sword. This time, solid red lines were engraved on the white and smooth skin.
The Spider Queen, who had been fiddling with the scar on her forearm for a while, looked at me with twitching eyes as if she was trying to calm down her distorted expression.
“You can’t resist. Are you going to punish me for doing that?”
“I told you. If you can, please do so. What are you doing if you’ve only been living with your mouth for a while?”
As if those words were the decisive blow, Arachnainera’s expression suddenly changed as ferociously as when dealing with the knight commanders. It seemed that he was about to give up wearing a mask.
Even after that, the workshop continued, but it was okay to say that the workshop was just a one-sided joke on my part. The red solid lines that appeared on the Spider Queen’s upper body gradually increased in number.
“You’ll never kill me well–keeheok!”
Arachnainera, who was glaring at me with a face full of anger, let out a breathless sound after being hit directly by a blue dagger that flew into her side.
“I’ll join you, Delta! You held up well!”
The dagger returned to a trajectory that almost defied the laws of physics and landed in Rize’s hand. All of the baby spiders that were rushing at the knight commanders had been sorted out.
Scorched by electricity, frozen by cold, and charred by flames, the bodies of spiderlings littered the floor.
“aaagh! My sweet children!”
Seeing this, Arachnainera let out a scream almost like a scream. There was no room to be found at all.
“Are you sending them out to battle as cute kids?”
“I guess he was trying to grow stronger. The opponent was so strong that I couldn’t stand it and died.”
“… … Looking at you, Erica, you also seem quiet, but you have the personality to say everything you have to say.”
“So if you’re trying to say that you look like your sister, I won’t let you go, Claudia.”
Erica and Claudia followed Lise while exchanging strange conversations. Erica did have a side of her that didn’t hold back her words for fear of not being sisters.
After confirming that Arachnainera had turned her head towards Rize, I quickly stepped back. It’s because I’m the only one who gets in trouble when aggro pops up.
There is still quite a bit of time left for the bloody sword’s buff, but even if the buff goes off, you can use it again by replenishing your physical strength with a potion.
In the Silver Dawn Knights route, it was fortunate that Iris was able to properly supply low-grade potions.
For reference, there is also a potion that has a small amount of recovery, but if you rest, the number of uses is infinitely regenerated. It’s just that I didn’t get it because it’s useless in Della mode, where if you get hit with anything, it’s useless.
“Turn it off!”
A desperate scream echoed through the boss room. While I was lost in thought for a moment, the knight commanders were unilaterally pushing Arachnainera. The wounds all over the body were noticeably increased.
“Dare, dare, dare, dare, dare!”
Arachninera staggered back.
Saying that line meant that my health was below 30%. I took out a potion from the bag on my waist and drank two.
Since it’s a low-grade item, you won’t be able to fully recover your physical strength with just this, but it’s better than nothing. I stabbed the sword deeply into my stomach, absorbed the blood, and pulled it out again.
‘Come to think of it, why can’t I feel the pain?’
Since the movement is a movement, the first time I tried this special ability, I hesitated for a long time before inserting it, but strangely, I didn’t feel any pain at all. Even the wounds are automatically filled.
That’s why you can use it as casually as you type a command now. To be honest, if I had to stab my stomach while enduring the pain, I would have thought a lot.
It was unknown if only the bloody sword was an exception, or if all other types of self-harming buffs were the same.
“Miss Delta! Now it’s Delta-san’s turn— Huh?!”
Erica, who was about to shout at me, was dragged away without finishing her words. Arachninera had captured Erica. The body floated upward for a long time.
‘Is the flooring still left?!’
I hurriedly checked the Spider Queen’s lower body. I could see the flames on the floor disappearing only then.
Calculating the duration of the flame blanket back, it was clear that Erica had attacked right after the Spider Queen’s health dropped below 30%.
Due to the massive damage, the pattern was canceled and the summoning was delayed by one beat, and Arachnainera used the catching pattern without luck.
‘I didn’t expect the timing to be that twisted!’
To recreate this situation, an attack must be made immediately after Arachnainera’s health is reduced to 30% or less, and a single attack must inflict enough damage to cancel the pattern, and even after the damage is dealt, the attack judgment remains Must be present, and an Arachnainera whose summoning pattern has been canceled must use Grab.
There were four conditions, so it was a difficult situation to aim for and try in the first place. The conditions related to damage were the knight commanders, so even so, the timing of the attack was really close to atrocious.
So I thought it was impossible, but I never imagined that it would actually happen.
“Come out everyone! My children!”
Arachniera’s voice boomed, followed by countless sounds of baby spiders tearing their egg shells.
Rize and Claudia, who were rushing to rescue Erica, stopped moving as if they were overloaded. Those gazes alternated between me and Erika.
“This annoying thing!”
He tore off the iron helmet called Arachnaine like tearing cardboard, violently snatched even the Japanese sword from Erica’s hand and threw it away.
Erica also struggled desperately, but no matter how much she was the leader of the knights, she couldn’t defeat the boss monsters by force. The armor was bent like a piece of paper.
“delta! For now, stick by my side! hurry!”
Rize pulled me in and created a frost storm. The baby spiders that were approaching me were swept away in one fell swoop. Even so, Rize’s eyes were constantly on Erica.
“This, a little… … Dangerous!”
Lightning struck Claudia’s surroundings. More than 10 baby spiders died in one stroke of lightning, but more than 20 baby spiders took their place.
The green liquid on the silver armor gradually increased. I wanted to believe that it wouldn’t melt Claudia’s and Rize’s armor.
“I’ll suck it up without leaving a single drop of blood!”
Arachninera, fangs sharpened, thrust its face into Erica.
