“Y-You… You can speak the beast tongue?!” The spider queen asked with shock.
“Yes.” Silas replied nonchalantly while the spider queen took a few steps back with all eight of her spider legs.
“Well, technically, I only speak three variations of it, but I guess that’s better than what you are currently capable of doing.” Silas sneered while walking into the cavern.
His footsteps were slow and calm, yet, it felt like a storm was brewing behind every single one of his steps.
When the spider queen looked at him, she could feel something ancient behind his eyes. He himself didn’t feel that old, but whatever brewed within him did.
“What are you…” The spider woman said again while dropping Nymira onto the ground.
Nymira was still conscious, yet even then, that was barely the case.
Adrenaline ran through her body, making it hard for her to fall unconscious. Her body was still a little numb from the electrocution, while the blow that she had taken to her stomach still throbbed every few seconds.
The only thing that made her smile the entire time was the fact that she could smell the person she trusted most near her, and when she did, a sense of comfort washed over her. Her eyes began finally droop as the exhaustion took over.
Silas’ eyes moved toward the figure lying on the ground and narrowed his eyes.
“You did this to her?” Silas asked with a raised brow while unleashing his cultivation’s magic aura that erupted from his body.
For a moment, when the spider saw his cultivation base, a rush of confidence ran through its entire body.
“Hahahahah! To think I was scared for nothing! You are just another weak human!” It screamed out in laughter as it looked at the aura around it.
The aura was a mix between purple and sapphire blue. I was the reason it had gotten so confident so quickly. It saw Silas’ cultivation and could not help but laugh out loud.
“I doubt you can even take on a single one of my children. Even this girl feels stronger than you.” The spider queen continued to laugh; however, Silas didn’t say anything.
He didn’t show any reaction on his face as he continued to walk forward, unperturbed by the words of the creature before him.
Seeing this, the spider queen could not help but get agitated.
And without waiting for another second, it unleashed its magical aura as well, allowing the mana within its core to erupt out of its body.
For a moment, it pushed against Silas’ aura easily, causing the spider queen to grin maniacally, yet, a second later, her aura stopped where it was, unable to move at all.
‘What’s happening.’ The smile on the spider queen’s face was quickly wiped off as she began to exert her willpower to push her magical aura out more.
However, despite how hard she was trying, it didn’t seem like it wasn’t working.
Actually, Silas’ aura didn’t budge at all after the first push.
‘Now that I think about it, isn’t his aura a little too dense? My children had an extremely dense aura because they had my blood drop in them, but even then, their magical auras aren’t nearly as strong or dense as his… He isn’t even using his killing intent anymore. What’s happening? Is it his armor? Yes… It must be his armor! It must have some kind of fear factor inside it. What do the humans call it again? Enchantments? Yes, that! He must have an enchantment of some kind!’ The spider reasoned and stopped pushing against the aura.
“That armor of yours is quite powerful… I wouldn’t mind taking it off your corpse when I’m done with you.” She spider queen chuckled once more as her confidence returned.
“You’re a queen right?” Silas suddenly asked, making the spider queen raise a brow.
“I am… and quite a generous one at that. Kneel before me, givem me your armor and I’ll think about sparing the two of you.” She chuckled before a malevolent grin stretched out from the corner of her lips.
“Just kidding! HAHAHAHA! I think I almost saw hope in your eyes.” She laughed, but Silas’ expression never changed…
Not even once.
“A queen who hurt my disciple.” Silas continued while turning toward Nymira.
“Huh. Did I make you made or something? What are you rambling-“
“For what you’ve done, I’ll personally execute your myself. My armor has been craving for the blood of a new beast lately, so you’ll do well.” Silas said and took a step forward.
Without skipping a beat, the spider queen frowned and threw outs her arms.
The moment she did, hundreds of strings shot out of her arms and attached the the remains of the cavern.
Her hands moved extremely quickly, and in the next second, Silas found himself being raised off the ground as threads with the strength and durability of steel wrapped around him.
No… They were much stronger than steel, and even at then, they were also much larger than normal spider webs due to the size of the queen spider.
Looking down. Silas found himself in a spiderweb cacoon.
And when he looked up, he saw a hand with five fingers in front of his face, with each finger having a claw at the end of it.
“You should have worn a helmet!” As her clawed hands struck Silas ‘ face, the spider queen shouted with maniacal laughter.
*Clang*

And before the spider could fully understand what had happened, her face turned into one that was filled with horror.
“H-How.”
“I’ve had enough of this.” The young man before he sighed.
Suddenly, flame erupted out of his body, destroying the string instantly while forcing the spider queen back from the shockwave it created.
“My turn.” He whispered, and in the next instant, he was no longer standing in front of her.
All of a sudden, every single hair on her body stood at their ends as a presence appeared behind her. It almost felt like the presence had teleported behind her, but she knew that wasn’t the case.
By the time she had looked back to see what happened, the only thing she could see was a fist.
And in the next instance, the spider queen felt a fist land on her face before everything behind her disappeared into thin air.
