Chapter 242: A Creator? III
Hours went by in the silent throne room.Arachne, recovering slowly, answered Kyle's questions. Her voice, still raspy, painted a picture of dungeon ecosystems, mana flows, spawn cycles, and the delicate balance maintained by Lords under the watchful, iron fist of The Creators.He absorbed it all. Information flooding into a mind supercharged and stabilized by warring power sources. It was knowledge no Hunter was ever meant to possess. Knowledge that painted the Guild, the rankings, his entire life, as a meaningless footnote in a cosmic conflict.He didn’t react outwardly. The blank mask held. The cube pupils remained flat, absorbing light.But inside? A silent earthquake was leveling everything he thought he knew.Finally, he focused on her. The girl who tried to kill him, who he drained near-death, now sat explaining the universe’s cruel mechanics with the patience of a weary librarian."Why?" he asked, the monotone cutting through her explanation of respawn timers. "Why are you hel
Chapter 241: A Creator? II
Arachne watched it happen.Her mind shattered. Her Queen. Her goddess. The absolute power she had served, feared, worshipped her entire existence... erased. With a snap. Like snuffing out a candle.A strangled sound tore from her throat, a mixture of a scream and a sob. Primal grief and rage surged through her, an instinctive urge to lash out, to avenge, to do something.She started to push herself forward, claws scraping against the stone, murder burning in her six eyes—But instinct screamed louder.Every fiber of her altered being shrieked. The presence of the Creator wasn’t just powerful; it felt fundamentally wrong, like staring into an abyss that stared back with cold indifference. To move against him wasn’t just suicide; it felt like inviting utter annihilation, erasure from existence itself.She froze again, trembling violently, tears streaming down her face, trapped between impossible grief and paralyzing, existential terror.The Creator hadn’t even looked at her.He smoothed
Chapter 240: A Creator?
The purpose of the fight seemed to evaporate, replaced by a shared, albeit vastly different, position under the oppressive thumb of unseen forces.Kyle felt the Queen’s gaze on him, sharp and assessing. She had revealed truths that shattered his worldview, yet her own situation seemed just as constrained, albeit on a grander scale."So," he said, breaking the silence, his voice still flat, "this whole dungeon, the spiders, you... it’s all just a prison cell?""An oversimplification," she replied, tracing a pattern on the floor with the butt of Klaw’s shaft. "But essentially correct. A gilded cage, perhaps. Maintained by forces that find my existence inconvenient."It made a sickening kind of sense.Dungeons weren’t random anomalies. They were curated pockets of broken worlds, isolated dimensions stitched together. Farms. Prisons. Playgrounds for beings he couldn’t comprehend.The monsters weren’t inherently evil. They were just... inmates. Forced combatants in a cosmic game, just like
Chapter 239: Battling the Queen II
Her movements were impossibly fast. She flowed across the floor, Klaw blurring in intricate, deadly arcs. Kyle found himself purely on the defensive, his earlier confidence shaken by the sheer lethal presence of the bone weapon.His blade met the scythe again and again. Sparks flew – bone-white against emerald green. Each block sent jarring impacts up his arm, each parry required precise timing and footing. He wasn’t fighting back, merely dodging, weaving, using the blade to deflect the killing edge by the barest of margins.She was relentless. A slice aimed at his throat forced him to duck low. A sweeping horizontal cut aimed to bisect him made him leap backward. A sudden upward thrust nearly took off his arm.He was faster, perhaps, thanks to the Mana Cell, but her skill with Klaw, honed over unknown eons, was terrifying. She anticipated his dodges, flowed around his parries, always pressing, always aiming for a killing blow.He focused, the blankness returning to his eyes, processi
Chapter 238: Battling the Queen
Kyle's steps were silent on the floor, each movement fluid and mechanical. He moved towards the throne, the humming blade held loosely at his side. The Queen watched him approach, the analytical curiosity returning briefly to her eyes, warring with the simmering rage. She saw the power contained within him, the effortless destruction he had just wrought. A faint smile touched her lips, cold and possessive. "Magnificent," she murmured again, almost admiringly. Then her expression hardened. Amusement fled. Dominance asserted itself. She waved a dismissive hand. An invisible force slammed into Kyle, lifting him off his feet and sending him tumbling backward through the air. He crashed into the far wall with bone-jarring force. He slid down, landing in a heap amidst shattered stone. "But you should know your place," she stated, her voice resonating with absolute authority. She stood slowly, gracefully unfolding from her throne, her spider legs supporting her weight. The picture of
Chapter 237: Xena III
Kyle turned slowly, his unnervingly blank gaze lifting from the hole in the wall where Xena had vanished to meet the Queen’s eyes across the chamber. The silence stretched, thick with stunned disbelief and simmering fury from the throne."Thank you," he said, his voice a perfect monotone, devoid of warmth or gratitude. "For this second life. For this power." The glowing green lines covering his body seemed to pulse brighter for a moment, then began to flow like liquid light, retracting from his limbs and torso, converging entirely onto the back of his right hand.They coalesced rapidly, etching themselves into his skin, forming a complex, glowing green symbol that resembled interwoven circuitry and fractured webbing. The light subsided slightly, leaving the intricate mark clearly visible.He flexed his marked hand slowly, observing it with detached curiosity. "It is... considerable." He looked back at the Queen, his eyes fixed on her. "But I have no intention of becoming anyone’s pet.
