Chapter 75 Spider Nest: Arachne

"I doubt I would have been normally, but the potion helped. Same with Iolana."

Merle responded to Evan's question, making him ponder on why only he and Nodin were affected greatly.

'If it wasn't for my Adaptive Evolution, I would have been fucked! Perhaps...?'

""...The charm is more effective on men?""

Evan and Merle voiced out the conclusions they simultaneously arrived at. Before they could address it further, a screech rang out, making them remember that the dungeon boss was still alive and was definitely enraged at them.

"We'd talk about it later. For Now, Attack."

Merle spoke as she roused her magic power and began chanting a spell.

Evan turned his haze to the fallen trees and nodded. The Arachne's favoured weapon, the black forest was temporarily restricted as the explosion from Kayla's Electroflame and the knockback from his punch, sent the Arachne flying with enough force to shatter a good number of the trees.

**BOOOMM!!!

To make sure things stayed that way, Merle commanded the two airborne birds to fly into other areas of the forest and self destruct simultaneously, burning down a good chunk of the forest.

'Good, now she can't absorb out magic power through the trees.'

The Arachne had the ability to control the black forest and absorb the magic power contained in any attacks that hit the trees of this forest, however, this was under the condition that it was doing so consciously.

As Evan had sent it flying into the forest, it was more occupied with healing its wounds than absorbing magic power, as such Merle was able to burn the forest with ease.

The Arachne re-emerged from the forest in a much worse state than its first appearance. One of its legs was missing and green goo was coming out of what should be a hard carapace.

For the record, Arachne's bodily fluid sizzled upon contact with the air and rose up as smoke. It was poisonous as well!

Evan activated his full appraisal to confirm the level and stats of the Arachne before taking any other action.

Seeing the Arachne's skills, Evan figured out the source of the buffs the spider monsters had, it was the Leader Skill.

The skill increased the stats of all those who were considered subordinate to the user by one sub rank, making it an effective skill for those who were in the higher ranks in armies.

It was a skill that Evan very much wanted to have but he doubted he'd be able to acquire, at least from this particular Monster.

Its stats also showed that it had a high amount of life force, a bit too high for its level.

[This is obviously not normal. And that energy too! Evan, kill this thing first. We need to talk.]

Pride's serious voice rang out in his head, making Evan narrow his eyes in displeasure. He also felt something was wrong but he didn't have the time to address the issue yet.

"Human!!"

The Arachne gaze zeroed in on Evan, screaming as two of the its legs flew towards him. He instinctively knew that if he was hit, he'd die!

"KIAAAAAKKKK!!"

What sounded like the singing of a beautiful voice was now nothing more than a monster's roar. Evan kicked off the ground and charged past the attacking legs, sending a blow towards it upper body.

"Kiaaak!"

[Master, let me Help.]

The moment Kayla spoke, she spread out her lightning and expanded it to cover his whole body. He could feel it strengthening his muscles and nerves, allowing him to tell that Kayla had at least doubled his overall power.

From the outside, he looked like he was simply shining, as if he was shooting out lightning from his body.

To anyone looking at him, he probably looked more like a lightning beast than human.

[Go Master! Kuro, help Master too!!]

Kayla cheered Evan on while also telling Kuro to help him out. The shadow spirit responded by creating shadowing hands that sprang gup from the ground and held the Arachne's legs in place, preventing it from dodging Evan's incoming fist.

Evan landed a clean hit on Arachne's face with his lightning clad fist.

Although it looked like a weak woman's face from the outside, there was not even a scratch, as expected of a boss.

In fact, the Arachne screamed and tried to bite down on his fist. At the same time, it raised its two legs to attack him. Thankfully, Nodin was there to stop it.

"Wavelance!"

Nodin seemed to have used a powerful technique as the Arachne screamed as her huge eyes trembled.

Using this opening, he quickly wrapped his legs around its waist.

Although the Arachne was a monster, it still had the body of a beautiful woman with a sweet scent and soft skin.

Evan was slightly distracted but his charm resistance kicked in and he clenched his fists, punching the Arachne's fair face continuously.

Tactile feeling aside, the Arachne was still a monster!

Its beautiful looks made him feel like he was doing something inhumane, but he chose to ignore it.

"KIAAAAAAA!!!"

"Don't open your mouth, your spit's getting on my fist!"

**PUK! PUK! PUK! PUK!

After continually pummelling its face with all his strength, the Arachne's face finally tore up from the heightened impact from Kayla's lightning boost, and poisonous blood began to shoot out.

However, the lightning enveloping his entire body did not let the poison reach him in the slightest.

Evan continued to punch the Arachne to do as much damage as he could before his and Kayla's magic power ran out.

At the same time, just in case he couldn't finish her off in the time frame, he readied himself to activate his inventory and fish out magic and health recovery potions as fast as he could.

"HUMA-!!"

The Arachne seemed frustrated that it was unable to do anything as it wildly shook its upper body's human arms to attack Evan.

Although they looked like a frail girl's arms, the impact they had upon hitting his body was indescribably painful.

"Guh!"

Evan coughed up a mouthful of blood onto the spider's face. He then suddenly felt a wave of weakness assault him as well as a bone chilling energy pouring into his body.

[GET OFF!! NOW!!]

Pride's scream startled Evan a bit as he used the last of his strength to jump of the monster's body, just in time for Nodin's spear to stab into its torso.

'Tsk...it stole some of my magic power.'

The Arachne used the magic power it stole from Evan and fired out spider webs crazily from its bottom half.

The streams of spider webs flying out in all directions then joined into a single large stream and attacked Evan and Nodin.

"Blazing Defense!"

Iolana the tank came to the rescue as she slammed her flaming shield into the ground. She then charged towards the spider that was still unable to move, courtesy of Kuro and slammed the shield of flames onto its body.

"GYAK!"

It let out a short scream as it fell back wards, its enormous body crashing onto the ground with enough force to shake the earth.

[Master, No Magic!]

Kayla shouted out as the lightning that enveloped Evan's body died out. Simultaneously, he sensed a surge of Magic power from behind him causing him to reflexively turn towards the source.

Evan was met with the figure of Merle who had taken quite the distance away from them, grinning as beads of sweat dripped down her forehead. A gigantic white three ringed magic circle floated behind making Evan's eyes widen in surprise.

'Tier 3 magic?!'

He did not have much time to be surprised as a vine suddenly grew from the ground and wrapped around his legs, restraining him just like Kuro did to the Arachne.

'Plant Magic!'

The little magic power Evan had left was rapidly drained by the vine, however, he hurriedly pulled out his sword from his inventory and sliced off the vine just in time to prevent himself from becoming Magic power deficient.

"Go! Flamebourne's Revenge!"

Merle cried out at that exact moment, the next, Evan felt something fly past his shoulders like and arrow.

At the same time, the poisonous spider webs that were attacking him burnt up and disappeared.

Not only that, a white ball of flame that was flying through the air struck Arachne's body, making it cry out in pain.

The ball of white flames then reformed into a spear mid air and dropped down towards the Arachne's body.

"KIIAAAKKKKK!!!"

The monster screamed out as dozens of vines sprang up from the ground, going in to wrap around multiple broken trees and tossing them towards the incoming flaming spear.

However, Nodin infused magic power in his spear and threw it towards the airborne broken trees.

"Shockwave!"
