Chapter 279: Dormitory Introductions
A palm-sized spider sat on the desk.
It crawled to Cuthbert's hand and tapped a foreleg against his knuckle, then swiveled toward Alex, cocking its head to study him. One click of the chelicerae.
Cuthbert stared at it for a moment, lip curling, then turned around to find Regulus, disbelief written across his face.
"This little thing can kill us?"
Regulus ignored him.
He'd woken early to reapply the spell on Baruk. Without it, the spider would have already reverted by now.
Acromantula. XXXXX-rated. Carnivorous and dangerous.
At the moment it looked harmless, barely filling a palm, but that was the spell's doing, not the spider's nature.
A full-sized Acromantula wouldn't need the whole dormitory. Cuthbert alone wouldn't last.
