Chapter 39 - Queen Taractect VS Dragon Araba?

If you're wondering what skills I stole, there weren't many. There wasn't much diversity here. All the monsters have similar abilities, such as poison resistance and poison attacks.

However, I got some interesting skills.

[ Rot Attack LV1 ]

[ Vision Enhancement LV1 ]

[ Throw LV1 ]

[ Cooperation LV1 ]

[ Leadership LV1 ]

These were all skills that I got. I only liked the skill [ Rot Attack LV1 ] because I needed new attack methods.

But two other skills interested me. [ Cooperation LV1 ] and [ Leadership LV1 ].

Isn't this the perfect time to acquire these skills? Now that I have my familiars. It may help me use them even better, but I don't know how this skill will affect my decisions.

It will probably warn me if I've made a wrong decision, like sending my army to meet its death.

'But it's true, I've never tried to command a battle. They're fighting on their own. I'll test my leadership skills soon.'

Cof~~ cof~~

Now, let's stop talking about skills. The important thing is this.

Yes, after killing a lot... A LOT of monsters, my stats and points went up.

How long did I spend killing monsters? I did it for hours. It's an excellent result, but it could have been much better. I'll keep the Greed skill with me for now.

Wait...

I deactivated my edit, and the [ Greed ] skill and the [ Ruler of Greed ] title disappeared.

However, soon afterwards...

[ The skill "Greed" has been learned ]

[ Condition satisfied. Acquired title "Ruler of Greed" ]

[ Acquired skills [ Conquest ] as a result of title "Ruler of Greed" ]

Yes, I bought the skill.

'But shouldn't there be another skill? Ah! It is the Appraisal skill, but I already have it at the maximum level.'

Well, that doesn't matter. The important thing is that I now have the Greed skill forever. And in addition to this skill, I also wanted one more.

[ Perseverance ]

I want the title [ Ruler of Perseverance ] and start collecting the "Evil Eyes," but I guess I'll have to wait a while.

But back to the Greed skill. Isn't it strange that I stole stats and skills? Isn't that what [ Conquest ] does?

I didn't get the skill after I used the editing skill and got the title [ Ruler of Greed ]. It shouldn't be possible to steal stats without [ Conquest ]. Well, I don't know...

On top of that, there's the mental baggage I'm supposed to bear for "sucking the soul" out of the monsters I've killed.

While fighting our mother, Kumoko could only withstand this because of her "multiple minds."

Maybe the [ Conquest ] skill was working all along, but it wasn't showing up in my Status?

'But I'm not suffering the "mental load" that I should be.'

This system of mine is strange. I think it's God's fault or maybe the author's.

'So, how do I get back now?

I've run for many kilometers. I have no idea where I am. Kumoko is alone, and that worries me. She could get in trouble if a dangerous monster like a dragon appears.

But Kumoko is smart. Ishe can manage without me.

'Hmmm... There's still some time before I can edit another skill. I'll take the [ Dimensional Maneuvering ] skill and move quickly there.' I'll hunt until the cooldown reaches zero.

I've got another 11 hours until then.

'Wow, I spent 12 hours hunting... That was a long time.'

*Change of POV*

A few hours passed, and Kumoko slowly opened her eyes after hearing some strange sounds nearby. They were deep breathing noises, heavy and frightening.

'The spider is back?' Kumoko thought.

But, to her dismay.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

Kumoko mentally screamed after seeing a giant monster staring straight at her. She was paralyzed.

'It's a dragon. It's a dragon. It's a dragon.' Kumoko was so scared and desperate that she started saying it repeatedly. 'And it's a powerful dragon! I'm going to die!'

When Kumoko saw her Status, she became even more desperate. However, Araba just looked away and toward something nearby.

Kumoko then noticed that something dangerous was approaching.

'Are you kidding me...' Kumoko's eyes turned white when she noticed her mother approaching. Yes, her mother. The dragon in front of Kumoko, sensing Queen Taratect's presence, quickly began to flee.

And Kumoko, hiding inside her house, stood still, without moving.

[ "Fear Resistance LV5" became "Fear Resistance LV6" ]

'Don't see me. Don't see me. Don't see me.'

Kumoko kept saying as she watched her mother pass by just below her house. 

'Is she aiming at the dragon? Are they going to fight?' Kumoko, for some reason, began to feel very curious about what would happen between those two. 'Should I go there?' Kumoko thought seriously about it.

'If the spider were here...' Kumoko began to think about the giant spider. 

'I don't think I should go there. I'd better get out of here and stay out of these two's fight.'

Kumoko left her house to get out of there as quickly as possible.

'I'm sure my mother is doing this on purpose. She always shows up where I am! Just leave me alone!'

She ran away.
