Spiders Slaughter
"I'm planning to fight them head-on in a battle of attrition; either I die or they die!"
[...]
"In this fight, mistakes are not allowed!"
[...]
"Let go!"
[Count on me!]
After finishing all the preparations, I was just waiting for the Spider Generals to make the first move.
They were completely different enemies compared to the spiders I was fighting a couple of minutes before.
Even though I was stronger than them, their numbers were no joke.
If I fucked up even for one second, I would be crushed by countless spiders; that is why I asked [Global Wisdom] to look at my back.
In that situation I was not able to hear my heartbeat for how much I was focused on them.
After what looked like an eternity of waiting and observing each other, they made the first move!
Twenty of them rushed at me while the other shot [Poison Bullet]; thanks to my [High Poison Resistance], I could ignore them just fine and focus on the spiders charging at me.
I waited for the moment when the [Poison Bullet] hit me to hide in the dust mist and activated the new [Gluttonous Cutting Thread].
and sliced them into cubes.
Compared to the old [Spider Thread], this one, just like [Gluttonous Dark Sphere], could also steal the stats of what it touches.
Not only that, but now it has become stronger, sharper, and thin to the point of being almost invisible to the naked eye.
I used the momentum to charge at the other spiders who were still shooting at me and slashed them as well; sadly, I was only able to kill the front one. The rest of them were able to retreat before I could do anything more.
"Can you..."
Before I could even say anything more, [Global Wisdom] already activated [Sin Of Gluttony] on the dead spiders, allowing me to save time and prepare for my next move. This time, though, I was not planning to wait for them to make the first move.
I activated the second new skill [Sinful Retractile Bone Claws: Lv1]; except for the blade colors, nothing particular changed compared to how it was.
Their colors were now blood red with sinful, souls-like patterns; needless to say, they could do the same thing as the gluttony-derived skills, but these were different.
Once I was ready, I rushed towards the spiders!
Some of them attacked me with their [Spider Thread]; [Global Wisdom] immediately activated [Abyssal Shadow Immersion] for me, making the coming thread pass through; I didn't waste any time and took the opportunity to immerse myself into the shadows and started moving toward the middle of the [Spider General] wave.
While moving toward the center, I had an idea! I started conjuring a lot of [Gluttonous Dark Sphere] and placed them around the zone to maximize the damage. I tried to compress their huge dimension as I added more mana to them.
"The outcome is not so bad!"
I said while looking at one of the dark spheres in my hand; their size was not bigger than my palm, but their power was not to be underestimated.
"Should we go out now? I finished the preparation for my fireworks show!"
[You look really happy right now.]
"Well, I can't wait to try out the new [Gluttonous Dark Sphere] after all."
I spread my wings and flew upward at high speed until I reached out of the shadows and reached the ceiling.
On my way there, I accidentally killed a couple of spiders and alarmed the rest.
[It looks like the trap you prepared early is working properly.]
"You are right! They seem to be stuck in this place."
Before the fight began, I flew around the ruin while using the new [Gluttonous Cutting Thread] skill to make a trap, just in case I was forced to run away.
"Should we start the experiment!?"
I carefully controlled the shadows around me and let the [Dark Sphere] emerge from it and carefully placed them under the spiders.
"Now the only thing to do is to ignite them, and I have an idea for that."
I started flying Dawn close to the first [Dark Sphere] and...
"Hello spiders!!! How have you been? All the time trapped in this place, thanks to my trap! I hope you had it difficult! Ahahah."
[What are you doing?]
"As embarrassing as it is, I need to taunt them in some way!"
I deliberately provoked them to move towards me. I stayed in midair to make sure they would not notice the sphere below them.
I just needed one spider to make a move to cause a chain explosion.
It didn't take too much time before the first spider lost his cool and tried to run toward me.
"Finally!"
I had to wait till the last moment before flying away from the place, so I focused and activated all perception skills and
empowered them to the very limits of my ability.
I was not focused on the charging spider behind but more on the one in front. I used my [Abyssal Shadow Magic] to force the running spider to collide with the one with the [Dark Sphere] below him.
The exact moment the spider was around one millimeter away from it, I flew away.
[That was close!]
"True! For a second I thought we would not make it on time."
While I was talking with [Global Wisdom] about our next move, I was having fun watching the [Spider General] in panic due to the constant explosions.
"It was worth the effort if I could see such a beautiful show!"
[Arsonist.]
"EEEE... I'm not at such a level!"
[Yeh yeh, as you say!]
"Why does it sound like you don't believe me at all, eh?!"
[...]
"Say something."
[...]

After all the explosions were over, I went down to collect all the bodies.
"Can you leave me some? I'm quite hungry here!"
[Really! Technically, your body does not need any nutrition for now.]
"True!"
[And with [Sin of Gluttony], you are automatically eating!]
"True, but I still want to test something, even if it's raw spider. I mean, it's since I was reborn that I have been eating through the skill.
Now that I have a body and not only bones, I want to try something new."
[Got it. I will leave some spiders for you.]
"Thank you!"
"Oh right, let me check my stats!"
