Chapter 154 [Hypnosis]

After finishing the meeting with the other two bestial rulers, the spider queen returned to her territory.

As soon as she entered the Abandoned sea, Nora didn’t feel the connection she used to feel with the egg or spiderlings, making her anxious.

The closer Nora got to her den, the more anxious she became, and when she entered her den, she became furious that the halls were devoid of eggs and the spiderling.

‘My trump card to erase the Flaming Lions after 100 years has disappeared.’

Even though Nora was angry at the missing eggs and spiderlings, what made her furious was the special egg it created to destroy the Flaming Lions had also disappeared.

‘Huh? What? The human devoured all the eggs and the spiderlings?’

As a level 6 supreme beast hero, Nora could hear the word even from hundred kilometers as long as she focused. Hence, she could hear the conversation between the water spiders and Leo.

‘The one who spoiled my plans should die.’

After learning that Leo had devoured the spider eggs and spiderlings, Nora didn’t want Leo to live another day.

No matter how useful Leo was, Nora didn’t want him to stay alive for much longer because whenever she saw him, she would be reminded of her special egg she created with the blood of various beasts and monsters in the Beastnet.

“First Child, cripple his limbs and kill him.”

Nora’s angry voice resounded as she entered the hall and looked at Leo.

Even though Nora’s original body was huge, she reduced it to a normal size of three meters to move freely in her home.

“Spider queen?”

Leo instantly recognized the voice and his expression turned grim, ‘Damn it…I still need a few minutes to use my talents and skill. I need to stall for some time.’

Thousands of thoughts flashed in Leo’s head as he tried to find a way to stall for some time.

“Human, it looks like you are going to die today.”

Even though the first spider general wanted to take Leo as an enslaved person, he didn’t dare to disobey his mother’s words and decided to kill Leo without any hesitation.

‘Ding,

The host still needs four minutes to use any of his talents and skills.

‘Four minutes.’

Leo looked at the timer set by the system and the Lion cub beside him.

‘Fine. I will use it.’

Without hesitation, Leo took the lion cub as a hostage and threatened the water spiders, “Do you think I will just die without fighting back?”

Even though Leo was slightly anxious regarding his current situation, he looked calm and even revealed a cold smile as though he was in control of the situation.

“Really? Do you even dare to kill him?”

The spider queen and the other water spiders mocked Leo because they could easily tell that Leo could not kill the lion cub because from the beginning, he was trying to escape with the lion cub.

Even when he had the chance to escape alone, he still came back for the sake of the lion cub, which made them believe that Leo could not kill it.

“If you kill him, his father, the flaming lion king will hunt you down no matter which corner you hide in this world. If you want that, go ahead and do it.”

Nora scoffed at Leo and urged Leo to kill the lion cub.

‘Damn it…these water spiders are really good at sensing others’ feelings.’

Leo cursed at how nonchalant the water spiders were even when he threatened them with the lion cub.

There were multiple reasons why Leo didn’t want to kill the lion cub. For his future plans, the lion cub had to be alive. Moreover, he should not let a single scratch on it because it would ruin his plans.

“Looks like you realized I can’t harm the lion cub.”

Leo shook his head with a slight smile; however, he didn’t put the lion cub on the ground; instead, he held it tightly.

“First Child, why did you stop? Sever his limbs and bleed him to death.”

Soon, the spider queen ordered the first spider general, who nodded its head and raised one of its blade-like legs.

“Wait a second.”

Just as the first spider general was able to chop Leo’s limbs, Leo thought of something and hurriedly said, “I didn’t devour the rainbow-coloured spider egg.”

“What? First child, wait.”

The spider queen used her [Telekinisis] talent to stop the first spider general’s blade and anxiously looked at Leo. “Really?”

“I am not lying. Please don’t kill me. Please spare my life and I will return the egg to you.”

Leo sounded anxious; if someone didn’t know about him personally, it would be impossible to say that it was all an act.

‘…’

The spider queen remained silent for a moment before asking, “As long as you return the egg, I will let you take the Heir with you to the flaming lion race.”

“Really?”

The anxiety on Leo’s face was replaced with excitement as he asked the spider queen.

“Since the Heir took a liking to you, I will let you take him to his father. His father will generously reward him.”

The spider queen’s previous anger disappeared into thin air as her eyes shone, making Leo instantly believe her words.

“Okay. I believe your words, spider queen.”

In the next second, Leo’s eyes became dull as he nodded.

“Now, give me the special egg.”

Nora was excited that Leo was successfully hypnotised as she asked Leo for the egg.

‘The moment you give me the special egg, I will give you a quick death.’

The spider queen didn’t have a big heart to let Leo live after devouring its eggs and children.

Nevertheless, she decided to give him a quick death in exchange for the egg.

‘Ding,

The host is affected by the Spider Queen’s [Hypnosis] talent. Therefore, the host will be under the spider queen’s control for a few minutes.

Leo was already under the spider queen’s Hypnosis. So, even the system notification was useless as he looked into space with an empty look in his eyes.
