Chapter 77

- From the perspective of the giant spider queen -

In front of me, my offspring hangs from the ceiling by a thread.

It should be, but a thread?

There shouldn't be such a species in my clan.

My body is a specialized, fire-resistant reinforced form, a clan that can wrap itself in inferno.

We are so heat-resistant that we can move freely in magma, and we also possess the weapon of speed.

Our movements are fast, and this doesn't change even on trees.

Wrapping ourselves in inferno and using speed to stop the enemy's movements is the basic principle of our clan... or so it should be.

A thread... what kind of thing is this thread?

Can it not be cut by heat or fire? That must be the power of our clan.

Can it freely shoot out threads?

I see, what is the speed of shooting out threads?

Is it the same as running? That's fast.

Being able to catch enemies without showing oneself is convenient.

Hmm?

Can it set traps?

Can it attach threads to trees and produce adhesive?

Adhesive, huh.

Once it sticks, it doesn't come off, that's convenient.

How is it made?

Does it slightly melt the thread with heat?

Is it heat-resistant?

Slightly nullifying the effects on the thread, I see.

What is the effect of that adhesive?

Ah, so the forest prey is almost no problem.

Yes, it's a good evolution.

...

Half of the children have started to possess threads.

Hmm? Has it succeeded in wrapping fire around the threads?

You're working hard, that's impressive.

The master is by the river today.

The area by the river is very pleasant.

Even with my inferno, I can't stay away from this place.

The master's magic flowing through the river.

The river water is purer and gentler than anywhere else due to this magic.

I see the water spirits carrying the master.

The water is so clean that the master's body is refreshed and more transparent.

I've never seen such a beautiful spirit before.

Hmm? It seems more spirits are gathering.

The master often plays with the spirits in the water.

It doesn't matter if the number increases.

The master's magic is bottomless.

Oh, today's prey is a Totora, a Red Death Frog.

That Dire Wolf has also evolved without me noticing.

There is a clear difference in power compared to other Dire Wolves... Hmm?

Are the other Dire Wolves also gaining strength?

Indeed, they are a race recognized by the master.

The golems are starting to disassemble themselves freely.

That's quick.

Has the master given the golems new power?

Recently, some of them have been running around in the forest outside our home.

The master seems to be coming out of the river.

It's almost time for a meal.

I've been looking forward to what the master makes recently.

Hmm?

The threads are entangled?

The key is to make sure the magic flows properly to the end of the threads.

If you do this, the threads can be controlled freely.

Watch me.

See?

I extend three threads from my back and move them separately.

I add one more from my front legs.

I move each one freely, forming shapes to show the children.

Threads are interesting.

It took a bit of practice to use them, but once you get the hang of it, they can be used for both attack and defense.

You can also use the new technique of setting traps, which is really convenient.

...?

What's wrong, master?

Has something surprising happened?
