Joining (2)

• PAsususu……

The dust surrounding me, stinging my nose, showed no sign of settling even after waiting a full five minutes. And what was visible through it was venom. Only the venom left behind by the dead spiders.

“Kieik……”

A spider, miraculously surviving amidst it all, groaned weakly.

“……I’ll take care of it.”

The knight, having lost even the energy to be surprised by the situation that defied common sense, approached the spider with slightly weary steps.

“Stop. I spared it.”

I stopped the knight. It was a spider I had deliberately kept alive. The knight gave me a look of utter incomprehension at the words that I had spared the spider, but any questions were swallowed in the face of the awe-inspiring power of the magic that shook the heavens and the earth.

“Hmm… it’s not a summoned beast. It seems like their minds are connected, but it’s not magical, it’s something they’ve had since birth.”

“Did you notice something?”

I said, binding the wriggling spider.

“It’s highly likely to be a surveillance entity. So… it means they’re watching us through this spider bastard’s eyes. It seems it was loitering nearby, discovered us, and then attacked.”

“Looks like information leaked.”

“I hope it’s not a Demon like Plüton who likes to run away.”

• Kirik……

The spider wriggled with pitiful eyes. No matter how pitifully it wriggled its face, it was just disgusting.

“Then…….”

• Chak.

I grabbed the spider’s mandibles and pulled it right up to my face. From its lower jaw, venom that could rot skin just by touching it was dripping out.

Of course, the spider didn’t do anything. If it moved even a little, it would die.

“――Are you watching?”

Then, I muttered towards its eight divided eyes.

“I don’t know who you are……”

Eight images of me reflected in the spider’s eyes.

“I don’t know where you are either……”

Eight of me announced.

“I’ll find you soon. Don’t worry.”

• Bbanggeut.

Just like Plüton, I’ll hang you in the town square.

“Can it even hear me?”

“It’s a hive mind, so the meaning should be conveyed. Probably.”

Hive mind…… I thought it was only for Elves, but to see it in a spider. Of course, ordinary spiders don’t form a hive mind.

“That’s a unique Demon… to control spiders.”

If it was connected by something magical, I could have traced it back to find its location.

“Well……. We might meet again as we go. Let’s not get too hasty, okay?”

• 벌떡.

“It seems like things are roughly sorted out, can we pass through?”

The knight stared blankly at me. More precisely, at my lower abdomen pierced by venom.

The clothes melted away along with the venom as it spread. Not only my navel but also quite dangerous parts were exposed. My hip line was visible as it was, and if it had gone down just a little further, my vulva might have been visible.

I said, clutching the flowing clothes.

“It’s the road to Leas. Can you guide me?”

The knight’s eyes lit up.

“To Leas? Could it be, could it be……”

The knight seemed to know something and closed his mouth. And a few seconds later, he opened his mouth with a tense face.

“Could it be the proxy from the East? The one called an Angel in this North?”

“You recognize me now. Rushellini’s power has fallen to the ground.”

“Kkeueung. I hope you understand. The speed at which information spreads in the North is very slow. But if that’s the case……”

Seueuk.

He shifted his gaze to me.

“You must be the key that the master speaks of.”

“Key? Hmm. That’s an intuitive nickname.”

A key, huh. I am a key figure. The only problem is that I’m less sincere than others……

“To not recognize the honored guest and be so flustered. If the master knew about this, he would surely punish me severely. Let’s go quickly. I will guide you.”

---

“What……?”

The spider Demon Rakner had to make a constant effort to wipe away the cold sweat flowing down her back.

“Just now, just now…… No, it’s nothing. More than that……”

All the children were dead. As a mature individual with no particular affection, she wasn’t exactly sad, but for so many spiders to die. And with just a light flick of the hand.

• Kkadeuk……

Rakner started biting her nails, just like the other Demons who had been defeated by Yujin.

“…How am I supposed to beat a bitch like that?”

It’s easy to find out the proxy’s location. Anywhere spiders can roam becomes her eyes. The only problem was that it was easy to get caught because of the magical energy flowing through the spiders’ bodies. If she spread that much magical energy around, anyone would see it as the work of a Demon.

‘Even if I get caught, there’s no way to catch me. I just need to monitor them. Just monitor them.’

From the start, she didn’t even think about catching them. The opponent was a skilled Demon hunter and a human who used magic like breathing.

‘I shouldn’t have gotten involved with the Demons.’

Rakner is a spider Demon. A unique case where desire manifested from the spider itself, not a lesser Demon. As the queen spider of the monster cave, she doesn’t consider herself a Demon even though she obtained a Demon’s body. She’s only summoned to the Great Assembly because she has horns.

But there was no Demon who could escape the chains of Amon and Barpheugos. They had to follow their orders. Otherwise, it was death. There was no choice.

The Demon of Wrath, Deiraize, would soon follow them too. Not out of loyalty, but out of oppression. He would eventually succumb.

‘Amon told me to stall for as much time as possible. He must not let that guy reach Pandemonium.’

Amon…… for some reason, he was extremely wary of that magician. Considering the magic the magician had shown, it was understandable, but as someone who had witnessed Amon’s power even in part, she just thought it was Amon’s overreaction.

The High Lich can nullify magic. The reason why Barpheugos can reign as pure evil is also thanks to the eternal life from the Life Vessel and the absolute defense through magic nullification.

There are no flaws in that ability. At least, that’s how Rakner sees it. She doesn’t know how he can use such a fraudulent ability without any cost……

‘Let’s focus on the mission. The next destination is… to pass through Cherenel and head straight to Leas. I need to destroy the roads and release the spiders to cause chaos.’

Thinking about it won’t change anything. She’s in a situation where her feet are on fire, so she needs to put out the fire first. But no matter what she does, it’s clear that they’ll break through.

‘From the moment Pawin and Prukaise joined, it’s impossible to stop the proxies from gathering. Then…’

• Kireureuk.

At that moment, a baby spider moved from her chest.

“…….”

The way it was waddling towards her cleavage, a dark place, was even cute.

Rakner gave a benevolent smile at the sight. It was a creepy sight with so many eyes, but it was the best expression she could make.

“……Those damn Demons.”

And she gritted her teeth. She didn’t really want to do dangerous things with the children. If it weren’t for Amon, she would have thrown them away and ran away immediately.

“Haa…….”

Eight sighs spread throughout the cave.

---

“There are many spiders. They’re only gathering around us… it really might be that we’re being watched.”

“It seems like they’re very confident in watching us so openly.”

“If not, then the purpose might be to stall for time. Otherwise, there’s no way they would repeat such meaningless actions.”

Sir Wiser, who identified himself as a knight of Leas, frowned as he saw the destroyed roads and ferocious spider swarms on the way.

“I’ll pave the way, so please continue to guide me, Sir Wiser.”

I said, restoring the broken and dug-up road in real-time. The spiders were being swept away by Sir Wiser or Shuriel with a single slash, so I just had to pave the messed-up road.

Sir Wiser, sharpening his sword corroded by venom, wore a surprised expression. He was amazed to see the broken bridge automatically assembling and the land full of venom automatically filling up.

He said to me, who was constantly moving my hands.

“Hoo… indeed, you deserve to be called a witch. The North needs such talent. Perhaps―”

“I have no intention of belonging anywhere. For now.”

“Kkeueung.”

I blocked the sales pitch like a wall. Sir Wiser easily gave up after hearing the cold and quick answer. Unlike what Shuriel said about everyone being frustrating, he seemed harmless.

“Why are you looking at me like that? Anyone would suppress their temper if you showed them your magic.”

Shuriel, who had anticipated what I was going to say, said with an absurd expression.

“Hehe. I’m glad you think so highly of me.”

Sir Wiser, bursting into a hearty laugh, clanked his armor while smiling brightly.

• Kwajik.

At that moment, there was a sound of something biting.

“Ah…….”

I reflexively raised my arm at the stinging pain. There was a bright red and round spider there. A spider that looked like a venomous spider was constantly biting my arm.

“Ah, eu. I got bitten again, yo, heu.”

Is this the seventh time? It doesn’t know how to give up and keeps trying to bite me. Shuriel and Sir Wiser can’t bite because of the aura around their skin, so it keeps biting only me.

“Haeu, hu, haa……”

“Another spider?”

“Nehe. This time, it’s a bit strong. Heueu, heu…”

The venom flows through my blood vessels. I count the time in seconds. 1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds… Maybe the moment it goes over 12 seconds, my breath will gradually become blocked and my vision will become blurry.

“Haeu, hueue…”

“Hmm? Is something wrong? Your face has been unusually red since earlier.”

“It’s nooothing, it’s nothiing. Nehe. Heueu.”

“Heum….”

I realized after repeatedly getting hit by the venom on purpose, Sir Wiser is insensitive to smells. Maybe it’s because he’s wearing full body armor and a visor. There’s a lot of blood and dirt on his armor, and he looks old, so it’s understandable that his sense of smell is dull.

“Haaaeue……”

The fortunate thing is that he can’t smell the female scent constantly flowing from my body either. That’s why I can do this.

Of course, Sir Wiser knows that I’m strange. He’s just ignoring it out of consideration. He just doesn’t know that I’m a pervert who goes crazy when I get hit by venom.

“Heu, kkeu, heuk…”

• Tteuk, tteuk…

Vaginal Fluid flows between my legs. Sir Wiser can’t see it from his angle. That’s why I could rest assured and go crazy. After all, no moans came out thanks to my throat being constricted to the limit.

“Ah, ah……”

Finally, passing the safety line of 12 seconds and reaching 15 seconds. Only the sound of air escaping can be heard from my throat.

“Haa….”

At that moment, a sigh comes from the side. No, it wasn’t just a sigh that came.

• Hwaaaak……

Divine power dwells in my body. Shuriel used healing magic.

“Haa, heu, hueue, keuheu, eu……”

The venom is purified, and the destroyed body tissues are restored. Only then could I breathe properly.

“If you were, a little late, it might have been really dangerous…….”

“Heung.”

Shuriel didn’t answer. He glanced at me, who was waiting for the next venomous spider, with a pathetic expression and immediately averted his gaze.

---

“Why won’t she die! It’s already the seventh time!”

Rakner wore a crying face as she watched Yujin using the venomous spider she had worked so hard to obtain as a masturbatory device.
