Chapter 20

"What the hell! What is this thread!"

Kicked in the stomach, the slave woke up.

Ah, again.

The master, who seemed to be a relative of a monster, was screaming. The slave turned its almost invisible eyes toward him.

"What do you mean the quality has dropped! This shoddy needlework, we are the Nuier family!?"

The kick wasn't that painful.

The short, fat legs, due to lack of exercise, were out of sync with the body's movements.

But having her hand stepped on, combined with his weight, was agonizing.

"Aaaaah!"

"Only the Nuier family can do the protective stitching! Yet, what is this thread! There's almost no strength in it at all!"

Because the slave's reaction was so vacant, the hand that was often stepped on had turned red and black, and the sound of bones breaking had long since stopped.

She was a spirit summoner.

However, her power was weak, and she was easily sold by her master.

All she could do was summon spirits.

She couldn't capture or steal their power.

No, the ability to summon spirits was a rare talent, even among spirit summoners.

When her master discovered this ability, he praised her.

Spirit summoners are often disliked by spirits.

Therefore, her ability to summon spirits was like a treasure to a spirit summoner.

Her master had come to her village in the countryside to capture spirits.

Most of the villagers disliked the spirit summoner, but ...

The poor farmer's daughter from the countryside was captivated by her special power and the well-groomed appearance of the man—her master—and left her home.

That was the turning point in her fate.

If she hadn't been found by the spirit summoner,

If she had been found by a magician instead,

If she had cherished the spirits,

... her fate would have been different.

The girl's power was not permanent.

Spirit summoners who do not recognize spirits as beings with will only think of exploiting them.

And spirits have will.

Naturally, they try to escape.

The girl's power, which had made her an ally to the spirit summoner, lasted only 3 to 4 years in a new place.

As spirits fled, fewer new spirits were born in those areas, and eventually, none were born at all.

Sold from one spirit summoner to another, the girl was used as bait to summon spirits, and she lamented.

Why did I just want to be happy?

"Am I going to have to spend more money to hire another spirit summoner! Damn it!"

The master's screaming echoed in her head.

She watched with vacant eyes as he angrily left the room ...

The girl remembered her master's face.

Creak, creak

A spider was making noise on her back.

"Hehehehehe"

The spider began to feed on the girl's power as soon as it could no longer sense the presence of any spirits.

The spider used the power more skillfully than the girl.

The master would surely bring the master here.

"Ahahahahaha"

I'll eat him deliciously.

The girl had learned to use the spider's ability to capture and steal power.

She had finally become a true spirit summoner.

A spirit summoner who eats spirits, she drooled, thinking they would be more delicious than spirits.

If I eat him, the master, he will be

Forever mine.

Then, surely, I will be happy.

The spider's belly, attached to the slave's back, was beginning to merge with her body.
