Chapter 40: I’m Back!
Extra Chapter (For Completing 900 Power Stones.)
....
Meanwhile, back in the Elroe Labyrinth...
Two monsters were locked in a standoff. Earth Dragon Araba had achieved an overwhelming victory. Kumoko, both her eyes burst, half her body obliterated by dragon breath, had lost all mobility.
Her HP and MP were both completely bottomed out. Although she hated to admit it, she had truly reached her limit. A single momentary mistake, and she had lost to Earth Dragon Araba.
"Am I... going to die?"
"I don't want to! I really don't want to!"
"If only I had dodged that one attack! I still had a chance! Just because I couldn't dodge that one hit!"
Kumoko felt miserable. She had sworn to protect Elliot, but in reality, she couldn't even protect herself. She said she wanted to become strong, but in truth, she was still so weak and helpless.
"Hmph—" Before her, Earth Dragon Araba's eyes held a trace of pity and respect.
He hadn't expected this little spider to refuse to beg for mercy even at death's door, instead choosing to sacrifice another eye to deal him another chunk of damage.
