9 Chapter 8 - I'm going to destroy another nest!

That's it, I've finally found it! This is the place I've been looking for. This is the same place where Kumoko fell and went into the labyrinth's depths, where there are more powerful monsters.

There's also a bee's nest.

'Ah, I can already see three of them.'

Finjicote LV3

HP 201

MP 66

SP 148

Offense: 78

Defense: 75

Magic: 35

Resistance: 41

Speed: 74

'They're all level 3. My strength is enough to deal with them. I don't need to use my editing skills here.'

Besides, the nest isn't here.

They're coming! From what I remember, they have poison.

The three monsters chased me, and I quickly moved and used my web to create a trap. As they were dumb monsters, I managed to catch one of them.

One of them got stuck, and the other two just watched as I bit off their friend's head.

After that, I jumped towards them and fell on top of one of the Finjicote, knocking it to the ground. I bit it, and its friend took advantage to try to hurt me, but I avoided its attack.

The monster hit its friend in the stomach, and with my legs, I grabbed its head and twisted it.

After that, I picked up the bodies of the three and threw them into the hole to see how deep it was. Even with my night vision, I couldn't see the bottom. I don't even know if there are any monsters down there.

'It's pretty deep, but I can reach the bottom using my webs.'

But if I go down, climbing back up would be tricky.

I'll be unable to climb these walls because of my low SP. I'll probably get tired before I get up here.

'So if I go down, I won't be able to climb up... I'll take another route. But I need to remember the path Kumoko used.'

I'm sure I'll remember when the time comes.

'Up...' There's nothing. Is this a different place? I remember that Kumoko found and destroyed a nest here later in the story. There's no way she's already destroyed the nest!

In any case, it's an excellent place to reach the deepest part of the labyrinth.

Speaking of the labyrinth, I can already see the data that Kumoko saw with her "Appraisal" skill.

[ Great Elroe Labyrinth wall ]

[ The Great Elroe Labyrinth is the largest labyrinth in the world, connecting the continents of Daztrudia and Kasanagara ]

'Yes, that's better. I can also tell which are the two continents... But I'll worry about that when I leave this place.'

Now it's time to go down!

####

It was hard, as hard as I thought it would be. At first, I started to climb down the walls with my legs, but I couldn't get very far, and I started to lose strength in my legs. I confess that I'm getting scared of falling.

If I fall, I could really die.

So here's what I decided to do.

I used my web and started doing a bungee jump, throwing my web in the wall and letting my body fall, then repeating the same process repeatedly.

I confess it was a lot of fun.

Then, suddenly.

'Oh, crap!' As I was falling, I could see them. There were several of them, several monsters of the Finjicote race. They seem much more threatening now that they're in such a large group.

Just those three didn't scare me, but now I'm terrified!

How many of them are there? 20, 30, 40! I can't count. Oh, and I can see their nest. Damn, I couldn't see it before because of the depth, what the fuck!

[ Skill proficiency achieved. ]

[ Skill "Appraisal LV6" became "Appraisal LV7" ]

Ah, they're coming!

'I have to fall or go up again!' Desperately, I filled the wall with web and made a makeshift house. I made thick webbing to protect myself and opened my system to edit my status.

This time, I didn't increase my strength and agility. I decided to increase my resistance and speed! This time, I focused mainly on my resistance.

[ Average Resistance Ability: 19 ]

'Fuck it, set my resistance to 5,000! And set my speed to 2,000!' Even if my SP runs out, I must do it. At least, I must survive.

Ah, they're attacking.

The web in my house started getting attacked from everywhere. At least 10 Finjicotes were attacking with their stingers at the same time. I despaired that my web wouldn't protect me.

But now, with editing applied, everything is fine. My resistance (defense) is so high I won't be hurt.

'Let's go!' I climbed up the wall at high speed. The Finjicote couldn't even keep up with me. After climbing a bit and attracting the Finjicotes, I threw myself, yes, I threw myself. This time, I didn't even use my web.

I jumped straight into the nest.

My heart stopped as I passed the monsters and crashed into their nest. I clung to that spot and soon began to be attacked from all sides. But my high resistance soon proved its worth.

I was hit once, but I wasn't even hurt.

'This monster isn't an evolution, but it's level 5 and didn't even manage to hurt me. I should have some fun!'
