Chapter 60 - Kumoko has been caught.

Ariel continued to stare at me in silence. I didn't know if she would accept my proposal, but maybe she would. Should I try to say something? No, it's best to stay silent.

Ariel let out a long sigh.

"All right, I won't do anything for now. But only because I'm curious." Ariel had never seen anyone like me before, so it's understandable.

Has she ever shown interest in something like this? Well, I don't remember.

'I'm going back into the labyrinth now. I'll go out hunting later. I hope you don't get in my way when the time comes.'

"What's that? Do you want to die?"

'I'm not giving you an order or anything. It's just a request. Oh, and before I go, I'd like to ask you something.'

"What is it?"

'It's about humans. What will happen if I go to some distant village and kill everyone?'

"You'll probably be hunted down, that's all. What's that? You want to go around killing humans like you don't care?"

'My evolution is taking too long. If I kill humans, I'll evolve faster.'

"... Well, I don't care what you do."

'Then. '

I turned to leave, but I felt something approaching. I jumped away and looked back. There was Ariel, standing with her hand pointed in my direction. Had she tried to grab me or something?

I narrowly escaped. I'm surprised I managed to avoid it since I don't have my Status edited. She's probably not serious. She's just playing with me.

'The next time we meet, I'll be stronger than you. '

"You're begging me to kill you, you know that?"

'It's a joke, it's a joke, there's no way I can get strong that quickly. If you meet another spider out there, don't kill it. It's a friend.'

"Another spider like you?"

'She's not like me but has as much potential as I do. Just leave her alone. We don't want to get into a war with you or anything. And visit us whenever you feel like it. I'll be waiting for you.'

"..."

Ariel watched me walk away in silence. I thought she was going to attack me, but she didn't. I ran to where the cave used to be to look for Kumoko. I kept looking around to make sure Ariel wasn't following me.

She did go away and leave us alone.

'If she's curious, she must have let me go because of that. She doesn't need me for anything.'

Right, where's Kumoko?

'Hiiro, where are you? I'm where the cave was; everything's been destroyed here.'

I looked at the two men on the ground. They were faint, probably from fear.

After waiting for some time, Kumoko didn't appear.

I jumped and looked around for something. Then, I saw some torches in the distance. They weren't here before. The sound of Ariel's attack may have attracted some people.

It could be that Kumoko is in danger. Well, she's strong now... I'd be surprised if she's in trouble.

Well, let's go and have a look.

I ran through the trees and approached in an instant. To my surprise, Kumoko was in trouble. She was trapped. Yes, Kumoko is trapped in a cage that looks like it's made of iron.

The problem is... A cage made of iron shouldn't be trapping her like this. What the hell happened?

The men around Kumoko were all wearing beautiful, exuberant armor. They were strong, much stronger than I expected.

The men's statuses are above 2,000. They're stronger than Kumoko. She was only caught because of that. I used my appraisal skill to see if Kumoko was injured.

She's lost more than half her life.

Seeing this, I started to get quite angry.

I don't even need to edit my Status for that.

I came out of the darkness, and the men screamed. With one blow, I split one of the men in half. His armor, his flesh, I cut through with ease. The top half of the man's body fell onto the feet of one of his companions, who panicked.

'How many enemies? 7?'

I looked around, and my mind began quickly processing the best moves. As if I were a fighting expert, I dodged every attack that came my way.

I ignored all the men's screams as my giant body danced through the air and my claws slashed at the men.

My spider web danced through the air and grabbed the weapon of one of the men, knocking it out of his hand. His sword flew out and hit his friend in the head. Soon after, his body was cut in half.

I quickly killed the seven men.

[ "Urednik pajka LV2" became "Urednik pajka LV3" ]

"As I imagined, killing humans is the best."

I approached the cage where Kumoko was trapped and slashed it with my claw. Then I carefully wrapped Kumoko in my web and took her to where the two fainted men were.

I don't have recovery magic, but I don't need to worry. Kumoko has regeneration ability, so she'll be fine.
