Chapter 744 The Frost Queen's Mighty Guardians

-----

Within the top of the Frost Tower, the Frost Queen glanced into a large blue crystal ball as her entire army was completely overpowered by hundreds of giant black spiders, led by a little silver haired girl.

That girl... although she looked normal, emanated a powerful aura that could even rival her own. Her stats were so high she was already a Calamity. The Frost Queen, who had yet to fully awaken into one, squinted her eyes at the little girl, Arachne.

She also saw how Maria and her many servants defeated her strongest men, and even the heroes with the aid of Jonathan, the traitor and even Claw.

"Hmph, to think there were going to be traitors..." She said with an angered expression. "Unforgivable... These damned Humans can't even keep their dogs with a leash! It took Claw to die and become an Undead, but that hero was more than alive and immediately betrayed us!"

"It seems that at the end, Humans are not worth our trust, my queen." The voice echoing from behind the Frost Queen said, its shadow resembling a gigantic, scaled behemoth.

"I never had total trust to them, they're despicable humans after all." She sighed. "But for now, it would be better to continue our alliance with them and the vampires, until we can get rid of Maria and her damned army of undead... Are you not saddened your brother was slain?"

"I am." The voice sighed. "But it is not as if I can do anything now. Once the time comes, I shall avenge my foolish young brother..."

"Huh... They shattered the dimension stones leading to our dungeon." Sighed another figure in the hall. "The invasion was abruptly stopped... My queen, do you think...?"

"Well, if they ever dare step into our dungeon, they'll be stepping into the tiger's den." The Frost Queen laughed. "I'll happily receive them, with my open arms! Hahaha... HAHAHAHA! Let's see if you're so bold, Maria!"

"To walk straight into the tiger's den..." Sighed another larger figure. "I suppose that is what that woman likes to do the most..." It said, with its glowing red eyes.

"Vampire, tell me more about her." The Frost Queen said. "I need to learn more about that ghost before I kill her, to make things more interesting."

"Heh, your confidence knows no bounds, Frost Queen." The Vampiress laughed, her red eyes glowing beneath a mask.

(Maria's POV)

I woke up the next morning much more refreshed. Overusing my powers really tired out my soul, even after leveling up like crazy yesterday. Ugh, there was a lot to explain and process. Last night I spent a few hours explaining to everyone who Jonathan was, and also about the memories I've regained.

Although I regained many memories of my life as the living Maria, they were only those that were connected to Jonathan. I think I might be able to get the other half of my memories if I ever meet my little brother, who I hope is still alive in the other side of the continent, within the Confederation of Goldsand. noV-eLu,sb.C/O(m

Partner and Lucifer didn't really like him one bit, and were saying that it would be unfair to give him any sort of privileges because I only remembered who he was just now... And that he had attacked us first before allying us.

Jonathan wasn't cocky at all, and bowed his head while asking for forgiveness, acting very compromised on helping us in everything without even arguing back... This actually only made those two even madder, but ultimately, they calmed down.

I think they were just jealous of my past with him... Emeraldine seemed mostly neutral about the whole situation and was the first one to have accepted Jonathan rather fast as a new ally. Nyx didn't like him and hissed at him though, showing her fangs, probably because her daddy didn't like him, so she just follows her father's actions, and the twins were just nice with him out of manners but were still suspicious.

I trust him, but I guess it'll take some time for everyone else to trust him. At the moment, our priority was repairing the ruins which had been slightly destroyed due to the battles... Ah right, and little Arachne.

She got along with everyone really quickly, I was shocked when she showed up, but she said that Hel had told her to come protect me and my people, and she happily did so because of the bond we created over many months since I've visited her dungeon using a tiny familiar.

She never left my side though, and Nyx was getting slightly jealous because Arachne was very clingy, actually, right now, she's sleeping with me and hugging me tightly... And her hug is very strong too, she has... insanely high stats.

"Arachne~" I called her softly. "It is morning already, time to wake up."

"Muhh..." Arachne slowly opened her eyes, suddenly, I felt her presence growing larger... her forehead suddenly grew six more red colored eyes, resembling those of a spider, and in her back, spider-like legs began moving around, scratching her shoulder or her back, and then quickly retracting back.

I-I wonder if this little girl form is really her true body... If she's truly the Queen of the Arachneia, which are just giant spiders, I'm guessing she's actually a giant spider herself, right?

I gave her a head pat and a kiss in her forehead, and then she slowly opened her eyes.

"Mama..." She said. "Morning? I want to sleep... some more."

"Really? Are you tired, dear?" I asked her gently.

"Nn." She nodded gently.

Perhaps overusing her powers exhaust her? She's still growing after all. The reason the Arachneia had her so sheltered most likely is because of this condition she has.

Seeing her status, I can't find anything like that, but it might be some sort of curse, or disease she was born with that makes her become exhausted very quickly, so she needs to sleep a lot.
