51. Job Seekers

Dewi now can cut the sticky webs, but there's still a problem. The webs are sticking all over the place, making Dewi unable to move freely. Obviously, it makes her unable to fight properly and she can't kill any spider yet because the spiders can move around as they please.

Indra suddenly gets an idea and he creates a wide flat barrier above the ground that is covered with webs. The barrier can be used as a foothold for Dewi because it's very solid and he can simply dispel then recreate the barrier if webs are covering it.

With the wide flat barrier floor, Dewi can move much better now. She starts killing the spiders with her powerful attacks. But these A-Rank spider monsters' bodies are tough. Dewi needs at least 3 punches to crack their bodies that are covered with hard shells.

"I thought spiders' bodies were soft. But well, they are monsters, so I can't compare them with normal spiders."

It takes time, but Dewi eventually manages to kill all the car-sized spider monsters. She gets very tired because she has used a lot of magic power and there were too many enemies to fight at once. So they decide to rest for her to recover her energy.

The A-Rank Hunters are tasked to dismantle the spider monsters. They were quite unsure at first because they never dismantled this monster. So they just follow the procedures to dismantle spider type monsters in general and it works well.

But it's still difficult because of the spiders' hard bodies. As Indra thought, other spider monsters that have been found don't have hard bodies like these guys. It is this species's characteristic.

Indra is watching the dismantling process and even takes notes to understand more of it. Watching the dismantling also helps him know more about the monsters. Knowing their body structures also helps him understand their weaknesses.

"Their whole bodies are covered with these very hard shells. But the shells in the lower body are easier to break because the parts where they are connected are quite weak. The gaps between the legs and body are also soft. But they are quite hard to reach in a battle."

"I thought of targeting their eyes before, but their eyes are actually covered with a very hard and clear crystal. It's even harder than their body."

"Then the weaknesses we find are just their lower body, the gaps between legs and body, also maybe the gaps between their shells. If the boss is just like them, then you can target those spots because if the boss is truly just a stronger version of them, then its shells will be much harder too."

After they finish dismantling the monsters, Indra stores the materials in his inventory. It surprises the A-Rank Hunters who didn't know he has a space-type ability. But now they understand why they don't hire more people for this raid.

Other raid teams usually have people who are hired to mine and carry things from the dungeons like the monster corpses. But Indra doesn't need them because he can just store the materials in his inventory. He doesn't even need a porter to carry their equipment.

"Hunter Indra, are you planning to make your own guild in the future?"

"Yeah, i just need to clear 3 dungeons including this one before I can make a guild. Ah, I also need to recruit at least 8 A-Rank hunters so our Guild can raid A-Rank dungeons in the future."

"T-then, can I join your guild?"

"M-me too."

"Can I apply as well?"

"Hmm? You want to join us? Why?"

"Um, well, as you know, dungeon raids are very dangerous, especially A-Rank dungeon raids. Being with 2 S-Ranks should increase the safety by a lot. Also, if your future dungeon raids will be the same as today's raid, then it's the more reason I want to join your guild. We might not even need to fight monsters, which means we won't get hurt or even die. If our jobs are just to follow you into the dungeons, dismantling monsters, and mining crystals, then we'll be more than happy to do that."

All 8 of them nod in agreement. Seems like all of them want to join Indra's Guild now.

"Hmm, I'll think about it. There are many things to consider when recruiting people. But at least now we won't need to worry we won't have enough people to start our Guild. Also, for the next 2 raids, I hope you can join us again. We will try to buy A-Rank Gates again or maybe just lower ranked Gates if we want to finish raiding 10 dungeons quickly."

"No problem. We will follow you even to C-Rank Gates if you need to quickly finish the requirement. It's easy money, after all."

Indra will seriously think about taking these 8 A-Ranks into his Guild. It will spare him the time to look for the minimum number of members required to form a Guild. He just needs to make sure they are trustworthy people before accepting them.

Well, he can think about that later. For now, he needs to focus on this raid. They continue the raid and move deeper into the dungeon. There isn't any spider monster they find until they find a place full of magic crystals.

They decide to mine the crystals immediately and Indra seal the location with his barrier. He makes a pair of barrier walls on both empty sides of the cave to seal the place completely. This way, the A-Rank hunters can mine the crystals safely even if they make too much noise that can attract the monsters.

In the future, it will be an unthinkable thing for A-Rank hunters to mine magic crystals like this. After all, they are powerful hunters that will get a lot of privileges and their main job is killing monsters, not mining.

But in this early time of the hunter era, A-Rank hunters doing this kind of job is normal. The world still doesn't have too many hunters compared to its total population, after all. So even high-rank hunters need to do manual labors too currently.

But the usual raid teams still have more people to carry the materials found in dungeons because they don't have inventory like Indra. They already know they need to leave the boss until everything else is over, but all those processes still take a really long time and many manpower to finish.

That's why Indra's raid team is very unusual and will still be unusual even after 10 years. It's a very effective raid team though because they can finish much faster and use less energy.

Almost all Guilds will desire Indra's spatial storage ability. But they won't dare to do anything extreme because he is an S-Rank and his sister is also an S-Rank. Offending him is the same as offending 2 S-Rank hunters and no one wants that.

That's why Indra is expecting a lot of invitations from Guilds all over the world and even countries once his spatial storage ability is known. Well, he and his sister already got some offers from other countries to migrate, but he's sure he'll get much more later because spatial abilities are very rare.

Well, for now he just needs to focus on this A-Rank dungeon boss. They've finished mining the crystals and now are entering the boss room. It's a very big room with many webs sticking all over the room.

However, unlike their expectations, the boss isn't a bigger version of those spider monsters. This boss monster is actually a little smaller than those spiders. But this monster has a humanoid body part on where its head is located.

"Arachne?!"

That's right, this boss monster looks like Arachne from mythology. It has a humanoid upper body that resembles a woman although it doesn't really look like a human. The female human upper body still looks like that of a humanoid monster, not a human.

It has purple skin and there are some marks resembling webs on its back and front. Just like normal spiders, it also has many eyes on its face. It has a spider mouth with sharp mandibles, long black hair, and it doesn't have nipples on its breasts.

"What do you think, little bro?"

"Hmm, I think it's because spiders don't feed their children with breast milk, that's why it doesn't have nipples."

*BONK*

Dewi knocks Indra's head pissedly when she hears his answer.

"I'm asking about her power."

"O-oh, she's strong. Just her magic power alone is much stronger than Mr. Doni, the S-Rank you defeated. You still have more power than her, but you shouldn't be complacent because she should have more abilities than the normal spiders."

"Hehe, just as I hoped for. Fighting a strong opponent like her should help me fully understand my own power."

Dewi is excited to face the A-Rank dungeon boss which is also an S-Rank monster. She feels like this monster can finally force her to uncover her real abilities.
