21 Arachnid Queen
"What do you mean by blessing?"
{Are you an idiot? You are blessed with extremely powerful beings, I haven't seen this much pure & raw divine force within a being, but there seem to be a multitude of complex and powerful sealing on you}
I think she is making the wrong assumption here, that system is probably one of the blessings she is talking about, and the gacha must be the second one, as for the sealing thing she is talking about it must be the annoying restrictions the system forced on me in some occasion.
{Why are you in the chaos realm?}
"Extermination job."
{Only an idiot enters such a place, even God used to say that this place is a nightmare. But then again, I should not judge you.}
"I am very confused right now, I don't know what to even ask... I have so many questions."
{Then ask the important one then}
"Who are you? Saeko has the soul of Ddraig... What about you?" She could be a famous blacksmith maybe...
{God created me by sacrificing a part of his soul so we are somewhat related. God made me with the purpose to create weapons for humans to fight against evil, the sacred gear you know of today is all creation of mine, I created them.} Holy shit! I really have come across a gold mine.
{Yes, you did. As long you have materials I can create anything you wish." This is fucking great, no more than fucking great.
"Why would God give something as precious and powerful item to a random human? You might not pack power as other sacred gear but your capabilities are far better than anything." I asked the soul fragment.
{He really didn't have any choice, in the Great War, he sacrificed himself to save this world.} Her voice was laced with an untold sadness and grief.
{The only ones he can trust are humans because their life expectancy is much shorter than any race, even if it falls under the hands of an evil person, the human age factor will eventually get to him, once dead the sacred gear will latch on to another soul, but now that devil's found a way to reincarnate humans…" I cut her off.
"Wait, God is dead?"
{Yes, he passed away in the Great War.} Say What?! The books Rias gave me didn't mention the death of God. How can an omnipotent being die? It's hard to believe that being like that can be killed…
{My Creator is not really omnipotent, yes he did have divine powers but not to the point of being omnipotent. You can only see such beings in high-tier worlds.} The orc chief also mentioned this.
{And you have blessings of two such powerful entities, what did you really do to garner their attention?} I do not have an answer to that question.
"I wonder…" I sighed, to think such a being can be killed this new revelation wanna make me push my ass much harder.
{No more questions?}
"I will hold onto them for now, I want to focus on the current goal in front of me. By the way, do you have a name?" I said and opened the door of the cabin.
{Anastasia} I asked her if I call her Ann, and she has no problem with it.
"Gruak Kruak Hruak!" The Orcs kneeled down in perfect sync as soon as I stepped through the door. What are they saying? I can't understand…
{Ho this is new}
"We welcome thy lord." The orc chief became my personal translator. "Anything I need to know about the 31st floor?" I asked Tusk about any vital information on the next floor boss.
"It's the resting place of Arachnid Queen and her children's, her web string is as sharp as the edge of a new blade, her poison is even stronger than the basilisk leader, she is also a master in illusion arts, she can secrete a special poison that acts as strong hallucination agent. But what truly terrifying about her is the rate of children she can spawn, her highest record to till this day was about 5,000 younglings under one single day." The orc chief says with a disgusted look.
Man, even creatures like him were disgusted.
...
Arachnid Queen is a massive spider with a grey carapace on its' abdomen with eight legs, covered in black chitinous armor with grey exposed joints. It also has multiple glowing red eyes.
I now know why he was so disgusted, the queen started to shit babies out of her butt in the middle of the fight.
The smell is almost unbearable, it's worse than the smell of a Decaying animal corpse. What even worse is the children can fucking detonate like a bomb, spraying all its acidic blood all over my soldier and me.
"I had enough of this nasty shit! Burn, you ugly bitch!!" I spit out a massive stream of pure white flames from the depths of my mouth. Seeing this the Tusk also used "Hymn of fire dragon breath", both of our attacks merged and became a totally destructive attack that burned down everything in its path, not even ashes remained after the fire settled down.
[You have slain the boss]
[Level up][X3]
[You have acquired the following rewards]
+ Large Gold Chest.
→ 890 million gold points.
+ 30 Stats points.
+ Entry permit.
[Gluttony skill Activated]
[Stats increased: Magic: 14,000. Strength: 1300. Stamina: 600. Agility: 350. Perception: 690.] No skills? I honestly thought I will get that hallucination skill of her but I guess that thing is another shit jig produced within her poison gland.
{I am seeing new things once again. To think that you can reap an entity's attributes, & its magical essence. You are quite the frightening guy.} Ann said, through our bond, I can tell that she was fascinated with my powers.
{Ise, you can trap that thing soul with my help. Do you wanna try it?} How?
{Try to summon me} I focused and instantly I felt something heavy within my grasp, I looked down and saw a silver hammer with beautiful gems adorned on the handle.
{Bring the hammer close to the dead carcass.} I did as told, when I brought the hammer very close to the body, my Sacred Gear started to suck strange bluish energy out of it.
[You have acquired the soul of Arachnid Queen]
[6 variants of weapon blueprint have been unlocked] [Bow, Spear, Sword, Warhammer, gauntlet, and Dagger]
{Now extract its heart, the venomous fangs, and the layer of Armor over its body} I gestured to the orcs and immediately order them to dismantle the whole body.
While they are doing that I turned my attention to the Orc Chief. "Something doesn't make sense here, this thing is several times weaker than you how come this thing is the boss of a higher level?"
"Arachnid Queen is one of the most dangerous floor guardians, her poison inflicts terrible and nightmare-inducing hallucinations that would make anyone go insane, this greenish fog in the air is her doing… she would release this on a daily basis to keep her nest protected from outsiders, you might be immune to all form of poison but I wouldn't even dare to venture in her territory if I were alive, but as an undead, I am immune to all negative alignment."
Well, that makes sense my negative alignment buff always has kept me protected from any kind of negative buffs.
Maybe I should have made it a shadow soldier, but I also kind of wanted to find out the true capabilities of the sacred gear.
"Now what?"
{Gather the ingredients in one place, I also need a weapon of good quality} Ann says, a sturdy sword huh. I opened up the system shop and looked through the Epic section.
[ ADAMANTIUM SWORD]
Attack: 1900+
Price: 1 Billion gold points.
A sword made from one of the strongest magical metals there is.
Special Attribute: Mending-
{Wait! Scroll up! What the hell is this! You have a portable shop that can provide you with literal God-killing weapons! Do you even need me? Just tell me what did you do to get such special treatment!} You are overreacting!
{Overreacting? That's not normal! Some of those weapons are far superior to even the "Longinus" Class god and I created!} Do you think I can afford those things, just look at the prices of the items they are simply too overpriced and absurd.
{Those prices are reasonable, no fool would give weapons of such prowess for free.} God did give away weapons of such proportion though…
{He did not have any choice…} Yeah right? You want me to believe that, why create such weapons then? I think I have a clear idea of what is going through that man's head… His own Angels fell victim to sins, if I were him I wouldn't even have trusted them with such powerful artifacts, so he eventually put on his attention on humans, though we do not fare any better… there are people who are righteous among the rotten, kind among the evil, and hopeful even in the face of despair.
{It's as you said, humans are a better option than his Angels… Now if you would give your attention I will introduce you to the different abilities of the sacred gear.} Okay go on then.
{First Ability: Forge- With the right amount of materials and magical energy you will be able to create weapons of your desire.
Second Ability: Reinforce- You can take two separate products and merge them completely as one product, the new product will retain the abilities of the first two products, but keep in mind Ise, one artifact can't hold two souls, you have to sacrifice one eventually to keep it stable.
Third Ability: Dismantle- You can dismantle any weapons with a strike of a hammer, that applies to any sacred gear, any sacred gear used against you will be a helpless chicken waiting to get his/her head chopped off.
Fourth Ability: Scan- You can scan any weapon and store its blueprints within a magical database within the hammer.
Fifth ability: Dimension Storage- Just like your inventory this sacred gear is connected to a massive pocket dimension created by God. Currently, you cannot access it, your magical energy is not enough to open the space, so grow stronger, a nice surprise is waiting for you, and believe me it will be worth the effort.} My interest has been picked, I can somewhat guess what I might discover in it.
"How much mana do I need to open the storage?"
{You have to be at least a chief god level in terms of mana to open the gates} You mean the likes of Odin and Zeus?
{Yes}
