Simultaneously with the message, the dungeon entrance closed. Lina and her party stood at the entrance of the dark and humid dungeon.
“Light.”
Kerry infused mana into the lighting orb he had prepared. The surroundings brightened at once.
“This place is…”
“Not very pleasant, is it?”
“I’d like to finish this quickly and go home.”
As their vision cleared, the structure of the dungeon became visible. It was a complex, maze-like structure.
Spiderwebs covered everything from the floor to the pillars.
Every step they took, sticky webs clung to their shoes.
“Apply this to the soles of your shoes.”
Kerry applied a web-dissolving solution to the soles of everyone’s shoes.
“Wow! It’s so much easier to move! Husband, you’re the best!”
“Kerry, you’ve prepared thoroughly.”
“It’s best to move quickly. The entrance to a dungeon is dangerous.”
Lina’s party moved as stealthily as possible.
Unlike in games, this other world didn’t award experience points for defeating small fry.
It was best to avoid them as much as possible.
Of course, sometimes it was beneficial to clear out the smaller monsters first, but this dungeon wasn’t one of those times.
As Lina’s group moved stealthily through the dungeon…
“Heeheehee…”
Suddenly, a strange sound came from somewhere. Kerry shone the light orb around, but nothing was visible.
Their movements were unusual. This was their home turf, after all.
“Everyone, stay alert. This is a dungeon. The monsters here are more ferocious and numerous than outside.”
Lina cautioned her party.
Even though it was classified as an Epic dungeon, the lowest rank, dungeons in this world were not to be taken lightly.
“Kerry, stay close to me.”
Kerry nodded.
Even though he now had a shield and could use attack magic, he was still a mage.
It was best to conserve his mana for when it was truly needed.
Just then…
Something like dust rained down from above.
“They’re coming from above!”
As soon as Kerry raised the light orb, they saw a mass of spider monsters.
Damn it. They weren’t there when I checked a moment ago. Did they gather while we were looking elsewhere? They’re incredibly fast.
The spider monsters attached their webs to the ceiling and jumped down.
“Keeek!”
There were so many.
Spider monsters descended from all directions, swinging on their webs. It was enough to make their skin crawl.
But their worry was unfounded.
Lina jumped up and started swinging her sword. In that instant, the spiders that had filled their vision began to fall as chunks of flesh.
Natasha swung her curved sword in the air. The falling chunks of flesh were flung far away.
Kerry gave Natasha a thumbs-up. Natasha smiled shyly at the gesture.
“Heehee.”
“They’re coming from behind too! Natasha!”
As soon as Victoria spoke, Natasha crouched and darted off like a nimble cat, swinging her curved sword.
Wherever Natasha went, spiders were reduced to chunks of flesh without even a scream.
“It seems like there’s no need for me to step in.”
“Isn’t that for the best?”
The sight of spider monsters swarming from the ceiling and floor was horrifying, but thanks to Lina and Natasha, they couldn’t get anywhere near Kerry.
Just then, a seductive voice echoed through the dungeon.
“You’re quite skilled.”
“!”
It was that monster again.
A spider monster with the upper body of a woman and the legs of a spider.
And, of course… her upper body was bare!
Her large, beautiful breasts, far exceeding those of an ordinary woman, were on full display. Good. This is what makes dungeon delving worthwhile.
“…That vulgar chest monster has appeared again.”
“I’ll leave you to it, Victoria!”
“Leave it to me!”
In that moment, Natasha sprinted towards the female spider monster. Her movements were on a completely different level compared to when she was defensively protecting Kerry.
Another ordinary spider monster blocked Natasha’s path in front of the female spider monster, but it couldn’t stop her charge.
“This… monstrous bitch…!”
In an instant, the female spider monster was pulverized by Natasha’s curved sword. Her chest, in particular, was mangled beyond recognition.
Natasha, still fuming even after reducing the female spider monster to such a state, stomped her feet.
“Tch! You indecent monster! Cover yourself up! How shocked my husband would be if he saw that!”
I wasn’t shocked at all.
Furthermore, when it came to indecency, Natasha wouldn’t be outdone, at least when she was in a frenzy.
Spider corpses littered the area around Lina’s party. Some lay dead with their bellies split open, others neatly dismembered.
Their numbers easily exceeded a hundred.
Despite the carnage, none of Lina’s party showed any signs of fatigue.
Rather, they wore refreshing expressions, as if they’d just had a pleasant workout.
“I think we’ve cleared out the ones in the vicinity.”
“Yes, Lina. You’ve worked hard.”
“But no matter how many of these small fry we kill, there’s no end to them.”
“Can’t we go straight to the boss?”
“It’s difficult due to the complex, maze-like structure of the dungeon. But it’s not impossible.”
Kerry nodded.
He had carefully reviewed the information in front of the dungeon once more, so he remembered that part clearly.
“We can follow the hatched spiderlings.”
As expected, Lina knew as well. She truly was a Regressor.
“Oh? Using the instincts of the young ones?”
“Yes. From now on, we’ll minimize the light and search for the spiderlings.”
Lina’s party nodded.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
Following the spiderlings stealthily, Lina’s party found the dungeon boss.
The spiderlings were crawling all over the large Queen Spider’s back. The sight of the spiderlings swarming on the Queen Spider’s back was a bit creepy.
Lina’s party hesitated to approach upon seeing the Queen Spider.
The reason was the Queen Spider’s appearance.
The Queen Spider had the lower body of a spider, but her upper body was that of a naked woman.
The problem was that, because she was several times larger than the average spider monster, her female upper body was also several times larger.
So… her already ample breasts looked several times bigger!
“K…Kerry! Close your eyes! You shouldn’t look at such things!”
“How can I close my eyes with the enemy right in front of me! That’s not the way of an adventurer!”
Of course! Exactly!
The giant Queen Spider’s breasts jiggled before their eyes. Her large nipples were so large that I wondered if they would even fit in my mouth.
This is amazing. And the fact that the Queen Spider’s upper body was that of a beautiful woman made it even more amazing.
“…”
Lina blushed, gripping her sword.
“Perverted spiders! I’m so annoyed!”
Natasha stamped her feet in frustration. The Queen Spider, carrying her young on her back, looked down at them from the ceiling.
“…To think you’d invade this far so easily. You’re no ordinary bunch. I suppose those disgusting villagers spent quite a bit of money?”
“Shut up, you filthy chest spider! Come down here right now. I’ll tear you into dozens of pieces in an instant!”
“Hmph. Are you applying human standards to us monsters? Clothes are nothing more than a lowly human cultural construct.”
While they were talking, Natasha, unable to contain her anger, tried to rush in.
“Natasha, no! Don’t rush in!”
“Why not, husband?”
They could see the spinnerets on the Queen Spider’s lower body twitching.
Seeing the spinnerets, the organs that produce the web, twitching, it was clear she was about to spray silk.
If Natasha had charged in, she would’ve been caught in the web. They did have the dissolving solution, but…
The problem was that the spiders wouldn’t just stand by while they dissolved the webs.
“We’re… surrounded.”
Spider monsters appeared from all sides – front, back, left, and right.
This was their home turf. There was no way around their use of the terrain.
They could see what appeared to be leader female spider monsters to the north, south, east, and west. Breasts everywhere they looked!
It’s a crisis, but…not bad.
“Ugh! All these indecent spiders are showing themselves.”
Victoria gritted her teeth at the exhibitionist spiders.
But Victoria calling someone else indecent felt a little hypocritical.
“What kind of dungeon is this indecent place? Lina, did you bring us here knowing it was like this?”
“N…No! That’s not possible!”
Lina, who hadn’t even flinched when surrounded by spiders, started to panic immensely.
She even babbled, saying she never would have imagined it would be like this.
Just then, the Queen Spider and the female spiders began to spray webs from all directions.
“Try to dodge if you can! Huhuhu!”
There seemed to be nowhere to escape the spiderwebs that were closing in like a net.
They could see a blue aura rising from Lina’s sword, but Kerry had something better.
“Shield!”
Kerry infused mana into his bracelet. A large barrier, big enough to encompass the entire party, appeared.
Spiderwebs piled up on the shield. Soon, it became so thick that they couldn’t see outside.
“This will buy us some time.”
“Yes.”
“Give me all your weapons. If I apply the dissolving solution to your weapons, you can easily cut through the webs.”
With that, they used up all their remaining dissolving solution.
“If it weren’t for these annoying webs, we’d have no trouble. I’ll crush that big-breasted bitch right now.”
“Victoria, you’re the tank. Stay by my side.”
“…How frustrating.”
“…”
Just then, the Queen Spider’s voice came from outside the shield.
“I know you’re hiding in there. How long do you think you can hold out?
I acknowledge that you’re quite strong, but do you really think you can handle all of us?”
“She’s quite talkative for a monster.”
“Should I just rush out and kill her, husband?”
Natasha flashed her dissolving solution-coated curved sword.
Certainly, with this, she could cut through all the webs, and the Queen Spider would be reduced to chunks of meat in an instant.
But Kerry shook his head. There was something about the Queen Spider’s words that bothered him.
“She called him the disgusting village chief earlier. Does she know the village chief?”
“Yes, I know him very well. You may not believe me, but… that man… that disgusting village chief is my enemy.
No! He’s our enemy! Even if it means my death, I will tear him and those villagers to shreds!”
“…”
The village chief wasn’t human either, but a monster. What kind of monster showdown was this?
Leaving aside the village chief, why did she hate the villagers so much?
Monsters weren’t usually friendly towards humans, but this was a bit excessive.
“You fools, deceived by that village chief’s sweet words, are no different.
I will kill you, and then I will attack the village. That is my only wish.”
“…”
“Kerry, there’s no need to listen to the words of such a malicious monster.”
“I know, Lina.”
But knowing the village chief’s true identity, Kerry couldn’t help but be concerned.
“That village chief and the villagers… they made me like this. I became this horrific being, unable to die even in death.”
Hearing this much, Kerry began to get the picture. There was no need to hear any more.
“Natasha.”
“Yes, husband!”
“You can kill her now.”
Natasha’s eyes gleamed ferociously.
It wasn’t long before the Queen Spider was reduced to a mangled mess of flesh, unrecognizable even to her own kin.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
Dungeons were unique places, even in this other world.
Unfamiliar messages appeared, and the dungeons themselves seemed to have a restrictive force, preventing exit unless certain conditions were met.
It’s amazing to actually visit a place I’ve only heard stories about.
Well, it’s a world with gods and monsters, so nothing should be surprising.
Just then…
A bright light appeared in the air. As the light faded, a single shape became visible.
It was the shape of a shield.
Lina, as the representative, grabbed the shield floating in the air. As Kerry was about to use the Eye of the Goddess on the shield…
Something else caught Kerry’s eye.
A cocoon of spider silk. Inside the cocoon, the form of a beautiful woman could be seen.
