Became a Swordsman Genius in a Pretty Girl Game - Chapter 365



365. Spider Queen, Arine (2)

– That is… the Spider Queen Arine.

Shin Se-hee’s calm voice was heard.

Looking at the ten disgusting spider legs twitching in front of me, I thought to myself.

‘But it’s really amazing that communication works even inside the double gate.’

Just in case it didn’t work, I had expanded my detection to the maximum range.

It seems Rina really put her soul into modifying it.

‘Will it be okay?’

At this point in the command, I shared a lot with Shin Se-hee.

It’s not mandatory, but it’s good to know a lot if you’re in a position to command.

For example, in this gate, such and such enemies might appear, and they might attack in such and such ways.

About the effects and range of those attacks, and how to move efficiently.

And among them was information about the Spider Queen Arine.

Of course, when Shin Se-hee heard that, she was astonished and said, ‘No… Can you even do that? Then what is the price of that future…’

I decided to just push through that part shamelessly!

‘Well, I’m already being treated as half a prophet anyway.’

And here, first of all.

‘I can’t stand not starting with the ultimate counter move.’

Whoosh─!

I chuckled as I watched Kang Do-hee, burning mana all over her body, step forward.

‘Now she’s almost caught up with my command. No, there are parts where she’s better than me… And who is calling whom a monster.’

Shin Se-hee looked at the demon appearing on the hologram screen.

She glanced at the small information displayed on one side of the screen.

────────────────

[ Demon Tribe, Spider Queen Arine – Seven Deadly Sins ‘Greed’ ]

【Danger Level】 SSS-class.

【Position】 Seven Deadly Sins [ Greed ]

【Appearance】 Upper body is a pure white humanoid, lower body is a spider with 10 legs. Notably has 9 eyes. Be cautious of her wide field of vision.

【Main Abilities】

■ Venom

Instant death upon contact with the deadly venom.

– Direct injection through claws and fangs. Instant death upon hit.

– Sprayed in a mist form. Area attack. Severe injury.

– Creates a poison mist. Damage is reduced in wide-area attacks, but still not negligible.

■ Thread of Death

Freely transforms between slashing attack threads and binding adhesive threads.

The threads themselves contain deadly venom.

Be cautious of movement-impairing abilities.

■ Reproduction

Instantly regenerates damaged body parts.

Can continuously produce minions from egg sacs.

■ 『Authority』 Miser’s Nest

Absorbs and stores the enemy’s life force with her threads.

Creates spider eggs with the stolen life force.

Spider eggs serve as both a means of resurrection and a reservoir of magical power.

In the second phase, she creates her clones through this.

【Combat Style】

Close combat using her 10 scythe-like legs. Immediate neurotoxin poisoning upon scratch.

When she extends her legs, they can reach across the entire map.

Combines threads and venom for area and wide-area attacks.

Commands minions as expendable units in battle.

【Weakness】

Cannot resurrect if all eggs are destroyed.

────────────────

In the case of a double gate, both gates must be attacked simultaneously. Otherwise, even if Arine is killed at one gate, she will resurrect at the other gate.

Strong purification power, relatively weak to fire attributes.

However, she has resistance, so she is not that weak.

Produces silk and eggs, and the abdomen where the poison gland is located is a weak point.

But she is aware that her abdomen is a weak point, so it is not easy to target.

────────────────

‘…Ha.’

Every time I see this, I can’t help but laugh in disbelief.

It was detailed information, as if someone had thoroughly observed everything about the opponent.

I wonder just how far Jin Yuha’s foresight extends.

‘Does Jin Yuha even realize the value of this information…?’

As Jin Yuha had warned in advance, the enemy of this demonic gate.

The Spider Queen Arine was truly a dangerous demon.

Just her physicality and appearance alone would make most hunters tremble and despair on the spot.

And on top of that, she has instant death venom, slashing and adhesive webbing, regeneration, and resurrection.

She is a nightmare of an enemy.

However.

The information Jin Yuha provided.

‘Knowing this in advance makes a difference. Of course, knowing these things doesn’t reduce the danger, but…’

It’s worth a try.

Shin Sehee’s eyes turned red.

She spoke to Kang Dohee.

– Kang Dohee, for now… Let’s start with a big hit.

Shin Sehee, unknowingly giving orders in Jin Yuha’s tone, Kang Dohee, who was trembling, nodded.

‘Alright, then next─’

* * *

“…”

Gulp.

Through the hologram broadcast, the sound of Lee Minyoung swallowing could be heard.

From noble mtl dot com

The appearance of the Spider Queen Arine was that shocking.

– Ugh, damn it! What is that!!!!

– It’s really disgusting…

– Something about it makes me feel a visceral revulsion…

– Ahhh… I have arachnophobia…

– I feel like I’m going to throw up.

– Just thinking about those things coming out of the gate… It’s truly horrifying.

– Yuha, run away…

– If Yuha runs away? Do you think they won’t crawl out?

They had seen spider monsters before, but seeing Arine made them express instinctive fear and disgust.

Different.

That was the impression people had.

The rank of the demon tribe had an influence.

Originally, every time a demon world gate appeared.

Its danger level escalated.

This was the third one to appear.

By now, just seeing it could bring despair or make a weak-hearted person lose their mind.

Of course, thanks to Rina, who had been informed in advance and dealt with the broadcast screen, it only stopped at feeling disgust.

The feeling of fear was not diluted.

“Th-th… It’s okay! As always! Our Utopia will take care of it!!! These people are heroes, our hope!!!”

Lee Min-young said, clenching her fist tightly.

And as if in response, the chat messages came up.

– Yuha, do it… Please.

– Yuha, show us ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

– Utopia… Please…

– Ugh… How can Utopia fight against such a thing?

– Please, I beg you ㅠ Don’t let that monster get out of the gate…

The playful atmosphere that had been flowing in the strategy broadcast was gone.

They just desperately wished for Utopia to achieve an overwhelming victory against that terrible enemy.

The words that Lee Min-young had been persistently saying from the beginning now felt real.

If Utopia fails to conquer this gate, our Korea, no, the world will be in danger, and that was not a lie.

And the only thing they could do was to offer their heartfelt support, filled with the utmost respect for the hero.

And.

In the standoff that felt like an eternity, Utopia was the first to move.

Paaang─!

Kang Dohee’s Avatar Descent, charging forward with her whole body ablaze!

She poured out all the mana she had been saving.

Originally, her skill extended the time by 3 seconds to attack for 30 seconds.

Her personal story.

The trait of Indomitability she gained after resolving the issue of the former guild leader of Parandis, Choi Hyeso, with Jin Yuha’s help.

Moreover, she was the most shocked by Jin Yuha’s state of selflessness shown in the cave of the Rage Howler.

She had never spared any effort, but through Jin Yuha, she realized that she had been complacent, thinking her dramatic growth was enough.

And those two events led to the growth of her skill, Avatar Descent.

Her Avatar Descent now lasted 6 seconds.

In other words, it could last for 1 minute.

‘I, Yellowy… Holding back Jin Yuha…’

Kang Dohee began to sprint at a speed beyond the limits of perception.

More relentless, more destructive, faster!

‘How could it not matter─!!!!’

Puh-ung!

Pahk!

Fwoosh!

Puh-ung!

Puh-uhng!

Fwoosh─!!!!

The eggs of Arine, which had been hanging like fruits on a giant tree, began to burst in the blink of an eye.

There were so many eggs that it was impossible for Kang Dohee to smash them all directly.

But a fierce flame rose in her wake,

and the crimson fire demon began to devour the surrounding eggs with its long, flickering tongue.

[ How dare you! My children────!! ]

Of course, Arine was not one to just stand by and watch.

No matter how fast it was, Arine had eight eyes that could capture Kang Dohee’s speed.

She predicted the path with her sharp eyes and swung her long claws.

The moment these claws scratched, that stupid bug’s body would melt away.

Swaaash─!

The claws flew through the air, tearing it apart.

But.

Kaaang─!!!

Suddenly, a sharp metallic sound burst out.

And her claws bent in the air, heading in the wrong direction.

Arine’s pupils darted.

“I’ve been pretty stressed today, you know? So I’ve got some resentment built up against you…”

And there, blocking the sharp legs,

was Utopia’s tanker.

Lee Yuri stood firmly.

“Sorry, but you’ll have to be my punching bag.”
