Chapter 1.9: Against the Nightmare Queen, Neigh

"Huh .... Why do I have to see the queen, anyway?" pasrah.

I activated my [Appraisal] Skill and found out that she was the queen of the white spiders here. His nickname was [Queen of Nightmare, Neigh] a pretty cool title for a spider like him.

Because I believe that spiders are 'nightmares' for most people, especially if the spider is larger than Mr. Hecaton— like him.

Yeah, he's big. But this nest made him unable to move freely. He doesn't seem to be too bothered with me, though he's actually aware that I'm here.

His big legs moved a little, but he did it because something was moving underneath. Yep. You can actually read my mind, the ones moving freely under it are her newly hatched cubs.

I'm not afraid of insects, but if they walk towards you and climb your legs and try to get into every hole in your body, what? Are you still not afraid of insects? That's what's happening to me now.

These guys are only level 1 and 2, I could have killed them easily. But the problem is that it's not that. I glanced towards the huge spider whose eight eyes continued to look towards me.

What I fear is the mother.

This spider parent— Neigh, has twice the level I have now. After defeating the goblins, my Level is now Level 25. Neigh is at level 55. It was quite a distance away and it was certainly not easy for me to beat him.

It seemed like he was on par in terms of Level from Pak Hecaton who reached Level 52 when I defeated him. But of course the two of them differed greatly in terms of attack patterns. At least that's what I believe.

With his enormous body that almost filled this room alone certainly made it difficult for him to move, even he also while guarding and hatching his eggs. That meant his strength was neither at speed nor a powerful physical attack.

Butwhat? What is the main strength of this spider?

I closed my eyes and kept thinking. I did it because these spiders kept moving freely all over my body. I have also sealed every hole in my body with the [Shadow Construct] Skill.

With this Skill, I can make them unable to get into the nostrils, ears, mouth, and 'other' holes just like that. But I can still breathe regularly as usual. I can't hold my breath for too long trying to cover all the holes in my body, my hands are two.

You ask why they tried so hard to get into the hole in my body. Well .. maybe they think of me as food. But my skin was too hard for those who were still low level, so they tried to chew me from the inside.

Talk about wild cruelty. Yeah .... This is not Indonesia, anyway. So I can't protest too much.

By the way, until when do I have to stand still like this? I can hold it until whenever my stomach doesn't rumble, but I also have to find a way out as soon as possible.

[Clairvoyance]

I cast the Skill in my heart. My mouth and eyes are not free to open for now, lucky I found this kind of thing when I was bored and was trying.

What's?! You ask why I always scream when using a Skill when I can cast it in my heart? Kufufu .. Do you not know the satisfaction of shouting something and then the powerful force of your body? That's what I'm looking for in this world and I can't get when I'm on earth.

Do you know what it feels like to scream with all your might but what comes out is not your strength, but the neighbor next door because you are noisy? If you never feel it, then you will not understand its satisfaction.

I still continued to observe the situation with the [Clairvoyance] Skill and it seemed like my guess was correct. There is no other way out at all. This was a special room for the spider mother whose only path was the entrance earlier. Arguably the most end and most important room for this spider colony.

So inevitably I have to get out of the hole or make a new path, huh? Both are not easy choices, but they are the only choices I have. Moreover, the most important thing now was how to get out of here without making Neigh angry.

I haven't gotten a quest to hunt him down, so I don't need to provoke his anger. Just move slowly. Right ... slowly but surely.

The me who had just stood still while being shrouded by the little spider finally started to move. The shocks I produced didn't seem to make them go off just like that. Are they not afraid of death, are they? If there's no mother of yours, I can kill you as easily as killing a fly, oi.

I still close my eyes when my feet start to move. I also need not fear crashing because my [Clairvoyance] Skill is still active. But then the sudden violent tremor that occurred just after I started the first step made me slightly lose my balance.

"Wowoh!" Luckily I was still able to balance my body and not fall.

Thanks to the strong vibration of the earthquake, the spiders that were swarming in my body also fell and I was able to move more freely again. They're moving back to their mother. Indeed, the effect they caused was not too much, but the fine hairs of their legs made my skin itchy.

"What the hell was that?"

I deactivated the [Clairvoyance] Skill and opened my eyes. But my eyes immediately widened when in front of my face was already a big foot trying to hit me.

"Damn!"

BRAAKK...

But I managed to avoid it with my reflex speed. The ground of my previous footing became a small crater because the impact of his feet was quite strong and heavy.

"Tch. How dare you attack all of a sudden?! Tell me first if you want to attack, woi!"

Whatisit? Is he upset? Did I make something that made her angry? I looked to the right and left to find out if the cause of Neigh acting aggressively was me or not. And I knew the cause when I looked down on me.

"Gr ...."

I stepped on one of his children, anyway. Ehek.

BRAAKK...

He hit me again. I'm sorry, okay?! I really did not intentionally! Besides you have a lot of kids so one tail just dies, doesn't it matter? Come on, why are you so sensitive to me?

But of course he doesn't forgive me. Although it was only one, but it was still his son. A truly loving mother. Maybe I'd be moved if he hadn't tried to kill me now.

By the way, Neigh's footwork was slow. At least slow enough for me to rely on agility and speed. But even so, his large legs produced damage that was also large and the area of damage was no less extensive. So I can't be off guard one bit.

I jumped up to avoid hitting Neigh's feet, but the other one tried to attack me while I was in the air. I whipped out my scythe at the one I put on my back and blocked Neigh's attack.

I managed to deflect his attack. Unlike the time against Mr. Hecaton, I was the one who flew while trying to fend off his hand. It turned out that Neigh was indeed not very good at physical combat. I have a chance to win!

The Neigh attack I blocked earlier hit the cave wall and created a crater there. In addition, stalactites hanging from the ceiling of the cave also fell and hit the spider.

Lookie! You killed your own children too! And even more than I do! Doesn't that mean I'm not too guilty here? I still consider myself innocent because Neigh also accidentally killed his own children.

But now he doesn't seem to care about it. Because he's focused on attacking and trying to kill me.

Returning focus to the fight, I stuck my scythe tip on the cave wall and made it a foothold and a darting spot so that the resulting momentum could head straight towards him.

Although not as strong as Mr. Hecaton, but Neigh's legs are still hard. Shit, are all the creatures in this world hard, except for the grilled lizard? But then I already know his weakness. Same with Mr. Hecaton, I'll go after his head!

His feet could not reach me as I darted towards his eyes. Hahaha .. who told you to choose a narrow room like this! I didn't want to attack you, but you attacked me first. So here's the payoff.

Although I feel like I won, but it is quite strange because there is no screen notification interface as usual when I want to defeat monsters like Mr. Hecaton. Moreover this is a formidable and high level enemy, am I really not going to receive a reward when defeating him?

Quite unfortunate too. But how else, I have to get out of here and beat him for nothing. What matters is that I survived first.

Now I shove my scythe and want to reach one of the eyes of the eight Neighs who are very close to me. Even I could see the reflection of my own reflection from his eyes. White body color blends with ruby red eyes. It's exquisite. Unknowingly, I praised him.

"Ap—?!"

I squinted and my slash suddenly dimmed as the eight Neigh eyes suddenly emitted a super bright beam that caught me off guard and almost blinded my eyes.

What the fuck?! I didn't know spiders could do something like this?

When I was confused and surprised, strangely, my feet touched the ground which made me unprepared and lost balance and then fell rolling forward a few meters.

What the hell's going on? Before that, I floated quite high above the ground. Then when landing, the feeling was different from the cave stone that was filled with sticky white threads. It feels more like landing in a sandy conblock.

I then stood up and cleaned my arms and clothes from the grains of sand attached. It turns out that it wasn't my imagination. Then I looked around and realized something different.

"That's .. my school?"

I wasn't dreaming. All I saw in front of me was the school building at the time I was on earth. It's really similar— no, exactly the same even. Somehow I could be here all of a sudden.

"ah! My scythe?!"

I tried to grab my back and feel whether there was my scythe there or not. But there's no. Before that, he was still in my grasp. "What's really going on?" muttered confused.

The atmosphere here was also quieter than usual. I still remember once even when the afternoon came home from school, the school building was still crowded because there were children who did extracurriculars.

I looked to the right and left. But there was really no one as if this building had been abandoned long ago.

I can't just shut up. If I were really in school, there would be someone I know who I would meet.

"I have to find out what really happened?" My determination was already round, I finally entered the school building. I'm gonna find out what happened to me and how I got here.
