Chapter 36: Spider Queen
Ryder entered the dark cave and continued to advance deeper.
As he walked inside, he felt quite a lot of spider webs nearby that had made a wall of sorts. To enter inside, Ryder had to pass through the walls of webs.
He used his sword as he kept cutting through the webs and moving deeper, but since the webs were so sticky, quite a lot of them were stuck to him.
Ryder was walking when he felt like he had stepped on sothing odd.
As soon as his foot landed on the ground, the spot his feet landed on sunk into the ground.
Ryder had a bad feeling. He instantly got down to the ground.
*Swoosh*
As soon as he lay on the ground, he heard the sound of sothing passing from above his head.
It was not just one either.
Ryder looked around and saw more than 10 arrows stuck to the ground on the opposite side of the wall.
"Traps? Why wasn’t there any record of it in the information 3 years ago? The players that entered the cave never described any trap. Was this just for the first person who entered? Did Lucifer face it as well?" Ryder wondered as he stood up.
He didn’t think about it for long, but he had decided on one thing.
He had to be careful inside the cave as anything could pop out at any mont. Only the previous tiline’s Lucifer knew what exactly was inside; unfortunately, Lucifer never talked to anyone.
He never gave interviews, unlike other famous players. His identity was always a secret, as well.
Ryder walked deeper as he kept his wariness at maximum.
He had his sword in his hand. Although he didn’t face any more traps, he did face quite a lot of spider webs.
At this point, Ryder was sure that there was a Spider Demon inside.
"Just how long is this cave! I have been walking for 20 minutes, and no end is in sight." He couldn’t help but curse.
Not much ti had passed when the cave branched out into two different caves.
Ryder chose the right one and continued ahead.
"There you are!" He let out loud as he heard so noise behind.
Ryder swung his sword towards his back. The sword did strike sothing.
A spider was hanging on a single web thread. It was split into two parts as the sword passed through.

The spider was the size of a full-grown chicken.
Ryder had just managed to kill one of the spiders when he heard more noise.
He turned back and saw more than twenty spiders coming towards him.
Through All-Seer, Ryder was able to see their stats.

Ryder raised his hands towards the spiders as he chanted a spell.
"Oh Lord of fire, creator of life
Give the strength and burn my enemies to cinders.
Fla Blast! "
A ball of fire appeared out of thin air and struck the spider in the front.
The spider screeched in pain as its body started burning.
Since the spiders were so close to each other, the fire spread from one spider to the second without any obstruction.

He got around 20 notifications as all the spiders died from the fire.
"No wonder Lucifer was able to level up so easily. This place is like heaven for earning experience points. Just those 20 spiders alone were worth 200 points.
He continued ahead with a wide grin on his face. He couldn’t help but hope that he t more groups of spiders.
Ryder walked only four minutes more before he saw a coffin-shaped box in front of him.
"That must be the treasure box having that Scythe. The length is just right."Ryder smiled as he stepped forward, but he didn’t lower his wariness.
He stepped towards the coffin, but it was at that mont, a single thread of web ca towards him out of nowhere.
Ryder swung his sword, but the web was so sticky and solid, the sword wasn’t able to cut it.
The sticky web struck Ryder’s chest. He looked at the distance and noticed that the other end of the sticky thread was attached to a wall.
He was trying his best to remove the thread from his body when the sa thing happened again.
The sa thing happened about 10 tis. Ryder was able to dodge most of the ti, but he was still stuck with 4.
All the threads ca from different directions.
If a person were to look from the top, he would see Ryder at the center of what looked like a web.
Ryder had realized what was happening, but he couldn’t see who was doing it.
"It must be a spider as well. It looks like it has an invisibility skill. Quite handy, I must say." Ryder muttered as he waited.
He wasn’t anxious as he waited for the spider to show itself. He was keeping his mind calm.
Ryder was waiting and looking all around to see a glimpse of the spider, but the spider didn’t show itself.
It stealthily kept attacking and trying to bind Ryder; fortunately, Ryder was able to keep his hand free.
"There’s a pattern." He muttered as he kept observing.
Finally, a smile appeared on his face as he started muttering sothing.
"Oh Lord of fire, creator of life
Give the strength and burn my enemies to cinders.
Fla Blast! "
He pointed his hand in a certain direction. An orb of fire appeared near his hand and advanced in the direction he was pointing in.
The ball of fire managed to strike sothing as Ryder heard a screech.
A big spider finally beca visible.
Unfortunately, the Fla blast hadn’t managed to kill it.

Since you showed yourself, I might as well use this opportunity to the fullest.
Ryder said with a smile as he chanted the spell again.
The spider looked like it was mad as it stopped playing along and ran at Ryder.
"Oh Lord of fire, creator of life
Give the strength and burn my enemies to cinders.
Fla Blast! "
