Chapter 107- Spider Queen (Part 1)

"What are you?" Kai asked coldly as he gave Eva a hidden signal. The latter finally woke up from her shocked trance before she quickly nodded her head and started moving away from the monster.

However, as Eva was about to take the first step, the monster's eyes suddenly locked on her before it opened its mouth and spat out another web robe that flew at an extremely fast speed, aiming for Eva's heart.

However, before it could make contact, Kai had already vanished from where he stood and appeared right in front of the web attack. Then, using Wretched Heart, he deflected the attack skillfully, making it smash into the ground.

"How dare a human like you deflect my attack twice?" The monster was quite displeased with what happened as it hissed at Kai.

"Answer my question, monster. What are you?" Kai asked coldly. His aura erupted as it completely consumed the whole cave, crushing the monster's royal-like presence.

It was as if Kai himself was a king that was in the presence of a queen. Both clash with their auras for domination of the cave.

'This human is peculiar. The other ones were easy enough to squash.' Although the monster kept a fairly arrogant expression on its face, its thoughts were completely different. She understood that Kai wasn't the same as the other people that she killed that invaded her home.

"Speak," Kai repeated, waking up the monster from its trance.

"Since you were able to stop my attacks, I shall give you the honor of knowing who am I." Teh monster boasted arrogantly. "My name is Lithich, The Queen of Spiders. Bow before me, human."

"Spider queen? Never heard of it." Kai said with a dead tone.

"..."

"For how long have you been here?" Kai asked again.

"Y-You insolent fool!! I shall suck your organs out of your mouth and turn you into an empty shell of flesh and bones!!" The monster's 6 eyes turned red with anger.

"Sigh, I guess there is no point in asking you questions when you can talk like that. I will extract that information out of you." Kai decided as he vanished from where he stood.

When he reappeared again, he was behind the monster as he slashed down, intending to slice it in half. However, what met him was an extremely strong splash of acid that the monster exerted right into his face.

Kai's mind worked quickly as he was about to create an ice layer. However, at the last second, he got another idea.

*Click*

With a flick of his finger, a fire ignited in his fingers before it quickly spread into the acid. In an instant, the fire moved through the acid and reached the monster.

"AGHHHH!! YOU BASTARD!!!" The monster felt extreme pain in its back and quickly turned around.

'Acid can easily burn.'

Then, it quickly spat out another web attack. Its thickness and power were stronger than before. Kai's eyes squinted.

*CLANG*

"Don't overestimate your own powers, human. Your fellow low lives faced the same fate. They all died. Humans are humans whether here or there."

"There?" Kai's ears caught the last part and it confused him. What does it mean by there?

However, before he could think about it for even a second, attacks rained down on him. The monster spat out endless webs as it pushed Kai back. The speed of its attacks and their power surprise him.

Sounds of metal clashing with an equally sturdy material echoed and reverberated in the whole cave. Looking at the two fights from the side would shock anyone to the core. In their eyes, Kai's arms would appear blurry as he moved them left and right, deflecting attacks with pure technique.

On the other hand, the Spider Queen was motionless but the webs she spat were akin to bullets.

'This is annoying…' Feeling displeased with the situation, Kai decided to turn it over its head. At first, he didn't want to use too much Origin for the sake of his sanity but since this creature was adamant on making him do it, then fine.

"Reverse." Using his talent, Kai made the web attacks stop for a second before the momentum suddenly turned around and smashed into the monster's face.

"AAAAAGHH!!" Another painful shriek shook the cave.

Kai used that opportunity to close the distance between them. Then, he jumped on top of the spider.

"GET OFF ME!!! YOU LITTLE WORM!!" The Spider Queen shook its body violently as it tried to get rid of him.

Kai, however, didn't seem to be losing his balance as he lifted his sword up in the air, intending to stab it deep into the monster's stomach.

"I SAID GET OFF ME!!!"

However, at the last second, the monster's aura exploded as something happened that made Kai's eyes widen slightly.

*BOOOM*

Suddenly, the monster's outer skin erupted as it turned into acid. The acid smashed against Kai's body, burning through his clothes with ease.

'What is this…?' Looking down, Kai could see the acid reaching his skin and shockingly, it started melting it. A small cloud of smoke appeared on his body and for the first time in many many years, Kai felt pain.

The monster found that opportunity as it quickly shook Kai away. The latter jumped back before he landed on his feet, his eyes still fixated on his body. The acid had already melted a little bit of his skin and some blood leaked out. The injuries were extremely superficial but that still didn't lessen Kai's shock.

'It melted my skin?' He thought to himself. 'So it was that strong.'

"HAHAHAHAHA!!! DID YOU UNDERSTAND NOW, HUMAN?! I'm far stronger than you! That was nothing! My acid could melt through anything as long as it's organic. You are no different."

"..."

"It seems you thought nothing could hurt you, human. This queen shall assume that you are the strongest in your own world. However, as I said, don't overestimate yourself. I came to this realm as I knew the humans that live here are way weaker. Hahahahaha!!"

'Eating this human's organs will boost my strength to no extent. Ah, this queen feels chills just from imagining it.'

Meanwhile, Kai's hands traced the injury on his chest. A few seconds passed and the skin already regenerated and he stopped bleeding completely.

For someone like Kai who had never been injured by anyone except for a certain someone. Yet, this disgusting thing had actually injured him. It was mostly his mistake since he wasn't careful with the way he dealt with the monster but that came from his lack of understanding of the Spider Queen's nature.

In fact, Kai was completely clueless. He fought that giant octopus and this spider mutant with pure strength. That's why, he was bound to make mistakes even when he is careful.

But, even then, seeing that a disgusting abomination had actually inflicted pain on him. He snapped. Even if he didn't like to show it, Kai had a very powerful ego. It would be impossible not to feel that way when people hail you as the strongest. However, as much as he tries to not let it get into his head, he was still the strongest and the strongest should always have a strong pride to back up their strength.

So, with a slow movement, Kai put his sword back.

"I had enough." He said coldly as his aura suddenly retracted. His fingers cracked audibly. Then, his eyes looked up at the monster and for a second, the creature felt as if it was staring at the devil himself.

"I'm going to crush you."
