The situation in 2F also slightly different than in 1F or B1F.

There is no meaty walls and ceilings here, no maggot either. However, it was full of cobwebs instead.

Numerous red eyes shined in the darkness, but those shining eyes were not 2-paired eyes from the swarm of small creatures. Rather, it was a bunch of 8-paired eyes that menacingly give creeps to whoever people who saw their form.

[⁂][Veliperalocator Spider - Lv135] (×40)

[ ⁑ ][Larva Spider - Lv80~90] (×???)

Spiders, spiders, spiders...

The room truly looked like a fancy hall, or it was supposed to be in the past. Except it was occupied with monstrous spiders family. Hecate could see the familiar cow-sized spider that she saw in 1F. But this time, there are 4 spiders with more colossal sized than the former in the ceiling.

Their size was big as a house and occupy large space in the ceiling. They have 10 black-furred legs, two more extra legs than normal Veliperalocator Spiders and in its back has a crest-like symbols that looked like smiling demonic skull. Their claw like teeth making clattering sounds, as if they are communicating with each other.

It was very obvious in the first glance that each of the tip of the legs and teeth are coated in deadly poisons. Hecate did not have any means to nullify attacks outside 4 elements, so a swipe of their attack is enough to penetrate her paper-like defense and kill her.

And then, hidden behind the cobweb that spans wide in the entire room, was countless small spiders that constantly moves with swift agility. Their movement created obvious noises that enhanced the disturbing atmosphere in the room.

This dungeon is really not for weak-hearted people.

Forget about this dungeon, even looking at a slightly big tarantula, most normal people will scream like crazy.

Hecate never hunts here before, because there was quite a gap of level that makes she wasn\'t confident in winning. But now that her level already reached Lv131, the gap has been shortened and entered her tolerance range to try.

The spiders, seemed to noticing Hecate\'s presence, simultaneously glanced at her. Starting from normal Veliperalocator Spider, they come down from their nest above. As for the adult one, they seems not bothering to move and just quietly stays there.

Perhaps that was in the big baddy spider\'s mind currently. They obviously looking down at her petite figure, not knowing the storm she had caused in the lower floor.

However, the spiders quickly regretted their line of thinking soon after.

"Heh, I\'ll dethrone all of you from your nest above... Fall to the ground! Earthquake!!"

GOOOOO!!!!

Instantly the ground, the wall, and the ceiling shakes with a great tremor. Lots of ornamental stuff like statues, candle pillars, or paintings started to collapse into the floor. But that\'s not the end.

GYAAARRSSHH!! SHHAAAARRRSSS!!

CRASH! CRASH!! CRASH!!

-27343  -31084  -28423  -24454  -28392  -29435  -30243  -30325 ....

The cow-sized spiders, along with all of the colossal spiders trembled. Their cobweb ripped and they started to fall down, creating a loud sound. Some of the smaller-sized spiders that was unluckily in the wrong place, instantly squashed by those colossal spiders. Their body liquid spluttered and creates numerous stains in the floor.

Dust scattered and filled the whole room, and subsequently, the spider colony has been decimated in just a few breaths.

Of course, her spell did not kill all of the spiders. Earthquake is originally a Crowd Control type spell and not mainly used to deal damage. Earth based-spells purpose was to protect and support, so its lethality is far lower than other advanced-tiered spells.

Nevertheless, it still a good spell to use. Because, it gave Hecate preemptive opportunity to strike deadly blow to her enemies. Not wasting any moment, Hecate swiped her hand.

"And, switch to Ignis! Turn everything to ash! Vermilion Blast!"

WHUURRRRR!!!!!

SREEEAACCCHHH!!!!

-57343  -64084  -68423  -64454  -68392  -69435  -70243  -70325 ....

The moment the spell was launched, torrential of fire engulfed the whole room. Starting from the cobwebs that spread across the room, the fire greedily devoured everything in its path. The spiders, the destroyed statues, the ornamental objects... not a single thing could escape.

Tragic cries of the spiders reverberated inside the room. They couldn\'t do anything except endure the burning pain and died unwillingly.

Hecate watched the demise of the spider family with a glee smile. In her eyes, those spiders were just a moving Exp bag. Even if they are killed, new ones will start to replace them the next day anyway.

But for some reason, their cries sounds like music in her ears. It was like sweet symphony that calms her heart.

The symphony of ruin!

And then, the music stopped, replaced by tranquility.

The fire lasted for full 3 minutes before it goes out. All that left was only charred ruins.

Hecate sighed helplessly looking at the scenery. It\'s too pity she had to use fire magic and burned everything. Not even a loot can be obtained. Like how Sharknath was reduced to ash by Mana Explosion.

But that can\'t be helped, after all Hecate is just a solo player. No tanker to shield her from enemy attack, no healer that can make her HP safe. With no helper, how could she hunt in high-level area without using destructive spell?

"Though, if I partied with others then Exp distribution will be divided, and I must comply to other people\'s schedule.

That\'s too troublesome... Haah..."

No crazy grinding, dividing Exp distribution... Forget it! Might as well go solo!!

Hecate walked around to see anything that could be picked. Most of the spider body will immediately turn the ash even just by a single touch. She touched one of the colossal-sized spider carcasses intending to loot it, only to receive a message.

She immediately gave up after she saw that message. Dismantling it will take too much time, might as well use that time to hunt more. She decided to collect at least the spider\'s ash using Empty Bottle, and a few of the ornamental object that survived the fire.

The spiders also drop some Soul Essences that she decided to collect too.

Today was a lucky day for Hecate.

Not every day she could obtain Soul Essence, as its drop rate is unbelievably low. Even in the market, any Soul Essence that appeared was priced with sky-high price. But perhaps, this was because her Sub-class, Collector, was somewhat taking effect.

Done with looting the place, Hecate moved to the next room. Of course, after she casts Mystical Amplification first.

Using the same strategy, she continues to raze the entire floor by using mainly Earthquake and Vermilion Blast. Countless spider carcasses and ashes scattered in her path of terror.

For some reason, huge amount of spiders keeps crawling from the room near stairs area so she decided to camp there and spent the remaining spells, blasting the group of spiders occasionally in a regular rhythm.



Switch to Ring of Gnome (×10).

"Earthquake!"

GOOOO!!!!

-25643  -30464  -25763  -25794  -25672  -24365  -30567  -28675 ....

Switch to Ring of Ignis (×10).

"Vermilion Blast!"

SHOOOOOSSHH!!!

-67463  -64344  -65433  -66557  -65672  -64535  -70343  -67454 ....

Rinse and repeat!

Hecate couldn\'t be more happy when she saw the message. Having received Anti-racial buff, her spell became stronger and makes her hunting more efficient, even if its only limited to spiders.

A pity that her Earthquake and Vermilion Blast can\'t be infinitely used. The limit from the ring for both of the spells will be exhausted after 7 more uses (both currently 7/30). Hecate decided to spent the two spell limit first before retreating. She did not bother to collect the loots anymore, as the place constantly spewing spiders without knowing when to stop.

If she get close to collect the loot, wouldn\'t that asked herself to be hacked by the spawning spiders?

And so, she just mindlessly switching rings and unleashing spells, enjoying the torrential Exp that pours endlessly and not planning to stop until she ran out of spells.

However, when she uses the spells for the 28th, suddenly she was interrupted by a message.

Hecate frowned after seeing the message. The boss personally moved to the lower floor...

That was not a good news, especially when her spell arsenal is almost empty. She immediately stop all hunting activities and decisively uses a Return Crystal in the spot. Instantly, her avatar teleported back to the Save-Point, avoiding the impending disaster.

Sure enough, not long after Hecate teleported, a humongous spider arrived at the scene. But its form did not resembles any of the normal spider that Hecate sees until now.

A naked woman with the upper torso, arms, and head of a human. Her appearance did not too much different with normal human except, very-very striking differences.

The unnatural pale-white color of her skin plus long unkempt hair, and the enormous pale-white colored spider body that resembled the colossal spider that Hecate killed not too long ago, connected with her in a place where her human legs should have been.

She has 2 eyes in the human head along with 32 eyes in the spider head that shines in the dark. In the spider body\'s back, a same crest that Hecate sees from colossal spiders can be seen. Twelve giant spider legs growing from the spider body. These legs are fully functional and also the main source of her mobility.

[????][Arachnia, the Spider Queen - Lv230]

A named monster! Moreover, her level was far above Sharknath the World Boss!

The moment Arachnia arrives, she looked at the tragedy in front of her. The scorching room where lots of burned corpses of her descendant can be seen. The air that she breathes was mixed with the ash of many lives from her progeny. It smells precisely like roasted spiders.

She tried to hold one of the corpses with her hands, only to saw it crumble upon touch. Nobody knows what is inside her mind right now, but her sorrowful scream loudly reverberates in the entire ruins.

♠♠♠

Hecate, who currently is back to the Save-Point could hear that scream clearly. But she wasn\'t worried the boss will rushing towards her in this room, because it seems that Save Crystal repels monsters.

"Why the boss appeared at this timing? Until now, something like this never happened..."

It doesn\'t seem the boss would go back to her original place in 5F anytime soon. If the boss keep staying in that floor, this hunting place basically can\'t be used anymore. That means, anyone who hunts in this place have a high probability chance to encounter the boss.

Hecate could only sigh in helplessness.

"But... I don\'t want to face a boss without Mana Explosion ready."

Mana Explosion is a powerful trump card, but it can only be used once per week.

Only 1 and half hour has passed since the last round. There is still 1 Exp Potion but she almost exhausted all of her spells to continue the grinding. Round three has basically finished.

In that case, she better checked the loot that she had collected today.
