A flawless victory against the spider army! 

While I’m on this thought, my level rose by one again. Another one huh? First the Arch gave me 4, then one from all the other rabble. Nai wa.

Well, I only won against the Arch easily because of the unexpectedly good matchup. Normally it would be way stronger than me.

In fact, its status surpasses the Earth dragons, and in a clash between those two, I could not tell you who  would be stronger. Kaguna might barely win, because of their compability, but Geere probably couldn’t  win against the Arch. Even in Kaguna’s case there is still no guaranteed win. 

No matter. A win is a win. And winning is all that matters, not how we do it!

But what am I supposed to do with so much food? A lot of them were torn to shreds by Black World, but  there are still tons of corpses left. The giant body of the Arch alone would be a considerable amount, but  will I really be able to eat all of that? It’s already going to be a big effort to teleport them all to my home.

Suddenly, my spidey senses are tingling. (Actually just “Danger perception”).

My whole body begins to shiver. 

I remember this feeling.  
How could I ever forget it?  
There’s no way I would ever forget it. 

It was the first time since reincarnating as a Spider, that I sensed genuine fear.  
It was the first time since reincarnating as a Spider, that I recognized such a Symbol of Death.
I turn around slowly.

So, the Dragon finally makes his appearance. His Majesty himself. Long time no see, huh? My trauma. 
This is bad. After seeing his status again, I can only affirm that. Yikes. He not only has the best points of Kaguna and Geere, but even more than them. There are truly no gaps.

More defense and defensive skills than Kaguna. 
More speed and Speed skills than Geere. 
Furthermore, more magical Power than either of them. 
Worst of all, he even uses [Shadow magic]. That’s my means of attack. 
That in addition, he also possesses [Dark Resistance], That’s my means of attack!

The perfect all-rounder. Offense, Defense, he’s got it all. He’s even strong against precise hits, as he has no weak spots to hit. There won’t ever be a bad matchup for him. I may not like it, but this is what peak monster performance looks like. 

Haha, I can’t help but laugh when faced with such might.

Thank God,  
That at that time, the fear I felt was justified; 
That at that time, the fear I felt was right.  
I will admit it.
You truly are strong, Earth Dragon Alaba. 
So strong, that even after all my growth, I’ll still have a hard time with you. 
Rather, I need to prepare for defeat, faced with such a mighty Enemy.

I am scared. 
Scared, and yet happy. 
Yes, I am happy. 
That the me of now, has grown to the point where I can fight an opponent of which I could only tremble and hide from back then. 

Earth Dragon Alaba.

Are you prepared? 
Because I am. 

You noticed I was still alive back then, didn’t you? You noticed, and dismissed me as an insignificant little  thing, right!? 

Well I am going to make you regret that arrogance.

Thank you,for teaching me to fear death. It’s the reason why I could be right here, right now. I ran. I ran. I ran from you. And the place I finally escaped to, is where I am now. So, I am grateful.

So now you will die. 

The existence that instilled fear in me for the first time. I will bury you with my own hands. And by doing  that, I will finally conquer my fear of you. 

I won’t run away anymore.  

Let’s end this long, far too long, life of running away.
Now, lets get started.
