Conqueror

Chapter 49: Testing Out

We went to the guild and registered. It wasn't really interesting. I ended up paying them 15 gold for the sign up. I think its more expensive here than in Itz. I have 2205 gold left.

They gave us guild badges as proof that we're joined in the guild.

I told them to go do what they need to do. We all split up after registering.

I took a look at the quest board to look for something easy.

"Hmm... Hunting 30 spiders. Proof needed is one leg." I was about to take this quest when something piqued my interest. "Kill Arachne. It has even a warning. Recommended for level 40? Hmm... I guess I can take this too." I went up to the man at the front desk. "Can I take two quests?"

"Yes, that is absolutely fine. If your quest isn't done within a week your quest will be marked as abandoned. You can't take the same quest for another month again." The man said.

"I see. I want these quest. Hunting 30 spiders and killing this Arachne."

"Do you have any companions going with you?"

"Uh. Yeah." I don't really want to be known as strong here. Keeping it low profile is good enough. "Their names are Yefa and Precia."

"This quest has a deadline a week from now. Both quests needs leg as a sign of proof."

"Aren't spiders have six or eight legs or something? How can you know that I won't be delivering the same legs of the same spider?"

"No need to know the details. We have magicians here that can exactly know the origins of the part of the monster killed."

"I see. I'll be going now then."

I left Cagyer and scouted its area. It said in the quest details that its a dungeon.

I finally found it after an hour. I went in the hole. "Damn this is really dark." I went deeper in the cave. After a couple of minutes, I heard a hiss. I still can't see anything.

"Damn it. Where is it? Bloodlust!" The sword emerged from my hand.

The unknown monste suddenly attacked me. It grazed my shoulder. "Tsk. I'm happy no one is here." I flailed my sword like a little kid. The monster surrounding is being very careful. "Oh I'm an idiot. I forgot I had this skill. Fire Totem!" The totem emerged from the ground and illuminated the area around me. The monster was in fact, a spider. "Gotcha." I threw the Bloodlust with all my might. It pierced its body and it killed the spider. "Woah. My strength is off the charts. If this is a spider then that means... Skill Devourer!"

[Webbing]

Spawns webs from any part of the body. Highly flammable. Its as tough as chains.

[Spider's Eye]

The eye of the one holding this skill will now be able to see in the dark.

"Yeah I'll get everything."

[Gained skill Webbing]

[Gained skill Spider's Eye]

"Woah... I feel dizzy. I need some time to get used to this new eye." I grabbed its legs and snatched it off of it.

After that, I went even deeper into the cave. I could see clearly as day. It wasn't that difficult killing spiders. They can be killed very easily.

After an hour of scavenging and heading deeper, I got about 30 legs of the spiders.

"That's done. I guess Arachne is next."

As I went deeper, I could see the eggs in the walls of the dungeon. It was pretty eerie.

Due to the fact these were eggs, I don't take any chances. I used Fire Totem to eliminate all the eggs I could see.

When killing all the eggs was done, I found myself standing on a huge empty room.

"Ah my babies... Welco-... Who are you?" A spider? Was hanging on the ceiling of the dungeon. It had eight legs and a spider body but it was different than any spiders. It had half a male human's body on top of it. And its the one talking.

"Are you an Arachne?"

"I won't repeat this again. Who. Are. You?"

"I guess that's a yes."

"Damn you! If I see that my children are dead I'm gonna eat you alive!" He cut his web on the ceiling and landed upright on the ground. He began running but not towards me. He ran past me to check something. "No... My eggs. My babies... NOOOOO!" He bagn sobbing uncontrollably.

"Honey, what's wrong?" A female voice could be heard deeper in the dungeon.

"Your husband is crying over there."

She emerged from the darkness. She was the same as the male Arachne. "Who are you? Ah. Honey what's... wrong..?" She finally noticed the problem. "No... No!"

"My children. My only source of happiness. I'm gonna end you. You'll be my guinea pig. Right?" The male Arachne finally snapped. "Honey, for our kids... Let's do this together."

"Yeah..." She too seems to have lost control. They both were enraged by what's happening. "For our kids."
