Chapter 317 - The Spider Queen's True Plan!

After getting there, they saw many tiny greenish spiders biting into her flesh, poisoning and corrupting her system. They also saw the ones who had their fill laying down eggs, which cracked open in mere seconds, allowing multiple tiny spiders to come out.

There was an army of tiny spiders made out of poison inside her.

It was disgusting!

Elliot's devilish limbs charged straight into the enemy's rank and chomped down on the poisonous spiders, each consuming hundreds of them.

[You've consumed the seventh-degree poison of the spider queen!]

[You've gained a slight improvement in your A-ranked superpowers, All-Destroying Poisonous Body]

[All-Destroying Poisonous Body is 95% away from upgrading to S-rank.]

His devilish limbs, which were extending out of his tongue and were like gray threads with many mouths, spread out in search of the poisonous spiders in the other parts of Freya's body, and they ate all of the poisonous spiders they came across.

As they ate the poisonous spider, causing the count of poison in her body to decrease and his supernatural ability to move towards S-rank, Freya's condition got better and better.

Her complexion became healthier.

Redness painted her smooth skin, and saliva flowed out of her mouth.

Freya felt embarrassed since a man was kissing her and it was also her first kiss!

She didn't know what to do!

She couldn't pull him away as she could tell that she was healing because he was kissing her!

She also didn't dare move her tongue in case she touched his, in case the slightest movement of her tongue would give the wrong impression that she was interested in him.

She couldn't indulge in the kiss and couldn't end it either.

It was like hell for her!

[Congratulations! You've eliminated all of the spider queen's poison in Freya's body]

[You've successfully saved her.]

[Although she is no longer under the threat of dying, she is still in a weak condition, so treat her with an easy hand.]

He had to do that, lest he kills the lass who he had so desperately tried to save.

Elliot retracted the gray threads back to his tongue before moving it out of her mouth.

He looked at her and saw a reddish complexion panting her cheeks and the exposed part of her body.

While panting furiously, she stared at him with shaky eyes.

"Congratulations! You're free from the enslavement of the spider queen!" Elliot gave her a beaming smile as he stood up, grabbed the hilt of his sword, and pulled it out of her heart.

There was a stab wound on her chest, but it healed at a rate visible to the eyes

"I'm free?"

"How many times do I need to tell you that I don't like repeating myself before you get it?"

"Thank you so much," Freya said as a sweet smile blossomed on her face.

She was thrilled as she was finally free from the slave mark that had haunted her for years and stopped her from relaying information that could help the high elves thwart the evil plans of the spider queen!

Area 10th clearly distinguished between brightness and darkness, and they were in a very bright area.

Under the bright lights, a smiling Freya looked way beautiful than the bitchy and stubborn one.

"You're beautiful, but you look ten times better with a smile on your face," Elliot said as he admired the beauty. "You should smile more often."

After his words sounded in her ears, a blush aroused on her cheeks as she remembered what he had to do and what he had wasted to save her.

"How I ever repay you?" Freya asked.

"Hmm, how about becoming mine?"

"Sure, I am willing to use the remainder of my life to serve you."

"I was just joking."

"Oh!"

"Though, if you want to repay me, then tell me about the plans of the spider queen."

"Long story short, she is building up a force to lead an expedition. However, this time she won't be attacking the center but the south, the land of the righteous lizardmen. I found that out five years ago. What confused me the most was the reason behind her decision. The south is mostly barren and doesn't have any precious resources, so why would the spider queen build up a massive force to attack that place? Only after five years of spying on her did I find out that beyond the lizardmen's community, there was a place too dark with creatures too deadly and at the edge of it was the tomb of an ancient evil, the master of ten thousand shadows, a being that exists as a forgotten legend. I wouldn't have found out about it either if I didn't luckily come across the record about it in the spider queen's chamber.

"The master of ten thousand shadows, although it had no names, the terrifying legend about it I read make me realize that the spider queen wants to go to his tomb and revive him." Freya exposed.

"Revive? Is that even possible?" Elliot blinked his eyes once before opening them wide.

Even he, who had tapped into the godly path of controlling life, couldn't revive those who had died.

So how was it possible for a mere spider to revive another?!

"The truth is that in ancient times, the high elves joined hands with the sirens, lizardmens, and the winged race, and only then were they able to surround it. The master of ten thousand shadows was an immortal who couldn't die, and so they failed to defeat it even. In the end, it was after a thousand high elves sacrificed themselves to seal it did they managed to stop it from overtaking the ash grey world. The rest created a tomb, filled it with traps, and put the sealed master of shadows at the very depth of it!

"The spider queen wants to go there and release the master of ten thousand shadows!"

A thoughtful look flashed across his eyes as he said, "I'm guessing that bitch has a way to control him."

"There's a high chance she does have one such enslaving seal that works even on strong beings like the emperors and those beyond that level.." She said.
