Chapter 81 3: Everdark Burrow [2]



"Master! It's coming!" The distressed voice of Irina sounded.

As she rushed towards him. Her mace smashed the head of a spider, squirting its green blood everywhere before glowing with brilliant gold luminescence.

She pushed her hand forward to launch a golden bolt of light towards the huge spider with a huge hairy body and sharp legs over 3 metres tall.

The brood mother. 

Her bolt of light shot through the air like an arc of lightning before smashing into one of the brood mother's eyes, her body too focused on attacking Lucifer as acidic green blood sprayed from the wound of her burnt eye.

"Kishaaaa!" 

Taking the damage, its front legs stabbed towards Lucifer while its ass began to spray, webbing to capture the running Irina.

Lucifer's sharp spear weaved between the black legs of the monster as his body snaked around like a serpent.

*Swoosh*

His first attack slid along the black leg that swiped past his cheek, blood seeping from the wound caused by sharp hairs damaging him and pushing his blade deep into the joint of the front leg, causing the brood mother's body to shudder and lift.

He watched the spider's movements while twisting his spear and pulling it back, rolling his heels to adjust his posture and react to any attack.

'This spider is strong and smart.'

The brood mother's shriek caused Irina to stop, watching as the spider pierced down with its huge fangs in retaliation for Lucifer's attack. 

"Shit!"

*Da-Da*

The fangs just missed his body, but his legs were impaled by the sharp legs of the brood mother, pinning him down. 

He grits his teeth before pushing out his hand, a ball of flames shooting from his palm to explode in the face of the spider.

Its heat was enough to cause him to sweat as it burst out in a small explosion.

Her venomous secretions dripping from her mouth evaporated.

The fire caused her to fly away, using webbing to hang on the ceiling, hissing at the damage caused.

Lucifer's eyes focused on a huge chamber where the queen would lay her eggs. 

Luckily after a brutal opening attack, all those eggs were now molten ash or goo from their combined fireball and divine radiant attacks.

"Irina, come to me!" He shouted as her little body began to jog towards him. 

The brood mother's body leapt down with a deadly attack just moments after she moved, the fangs in prime angle to kill Irina with a single bite.

'Fucking spider! Dare try killing my little saintess!' 

His body glowed with the bloody aura as his spear lowered, lunging across the room using the power of his muscular legs to send his body catapulting like an underwater torpedo towards the brood mother.

"Ah~" Irina felt the breeze from his movement as she stopped moving, feeling the huge breeze from the spider's leap a moment before.

When he moved forward, the spider's mouth began to collect his venom and poison into a dark green and purple bubble, forming a ball at its mouth. Watching Lucifer's rapid approach, she spat the ball into his face as he punctured forward with his serpentine spear.

*Woosh*

*Sizzle* 

"Kisha!"

Green acidic blood splattered as his spear penetrated the spider's mouth, but his body was bathed in the acidic venom. 

Instantly Lucifer's flesh began to bubble and melt as the venom entered his bloodstream. He felt lethargic and a sense of chronic pain as his chest tightened.

A human hit by this venom would go into cardiac arrest, suffering a heart attack as it attacked his body. 

Lucifer's mouth oozed blood while his eyes narrowed.

"Shit!"

Dragging his arms, he sliced the spider's mouth open completely with a sweeping twist, but the spider wasn't done either. Its body rushed forward and slammed into him, despite the damage to her mouth, now hanging open and oozing with green blood.

Her attack sent Lucifer staggering back, almost falling, the burning sensation and pain in his lungs and chest limiting his abilities gravely.

⟪Ignore Pain⟫ --> ⟪Ignore Pain II⟫

⟪Poison Resistance II⟫ --> ⟪Poison Resistance III⟫

The damage intensity was enough to cause his skills to increase, the flesh starting to drip and peel from his chest, causing his moves to slow due to the slight pain of the bare meat brushing against his clothes and enduring the poisonous acid.

As the spider lifted her fangs, seeming to sense victory with the stronger male now damaged, Irina's eyes narrowed as she dashed forward and lifted her shield.

The heavy spider biting down as the sharp fangs smashed into her shield, slowly penetrating halfway before the force of her attack was over.

"Damn... Master!"

She felt like time had slowed down as she realised that he was injured for her sake and that he was only taking it easy to teach her how to fight and get stronger. Irina lowered her mace before placing her hand against her ample chest, casting ⟪Blood Barrier⟫ first to gain time.

A deep red bubble covered her body, repelling the spider's constant assaults instead of turning back and asking for advice or help. 

Instead, she began to look to herself and sought to fight using her skills, not even realising Lucifer was gone, or the damaged him was a mere illusion.

The real Lucifer sitting above them on a web and casting ⟪Fireball (Intermediate)⟫ over and over, trying to copy the spider by adding his ⟪Vampiric Drain (Intermediate)⟫ together abusing Dual Casting as his eyes watched Irina fighting with a warm smile.

'That's my girl.'I think you should take a look at

The spider grew anxious and angry, smashing down, spraying thick globs of venom as Irina was forced to one knee, using her blood barrier to expend her blood slowly.

However, she was using this time to make a plan, her shield was half destroyed, so she dropped it and began to cast ⟪Holy Lance⟫ the dazzling luminescence causing the spider's remaining eyes to stink.

At the same time, Irina gripped her mace and began to constantly cast ⟪Healing Light⟫ to heal and repair the damage caused by the acid the moment she lowered her barrier that began cracking.

"Spider bitch! Hurting Master...!"

Irina watched the spider lift its front legs, the huge body ready to deal a heavy blow.

Still, she was faster, her legs bulking up as she pulled back her heavy mace and shot forward, the blood barrier fading as some acid burnt her beautiful face.

She slammed the head of the spider with a dazing ⟪Mace Bash⟫ before thrusting the holy lance into its abdomen.

The brood mother's mouth couldn't even shriek as the divine magic pierced its chest like soft cheese. 

It tried to kick her away with its legs and rolled onto its back in intense pain while still dizzy from the blow to her face.

"Gah...." Irina let out a moan of pain as she was pierced by the sharp black legs of the brood mother and flung across the room, slamming into a rock pillar. 

Her body slid down from the impact, with burns on her face and a bloody chest from the damage.

"Haa...Master..."

Suddenly, she felt embraced by a muscular chest from behind his hands made her feel secure and at ease as the last image she remembered was a rain of dark red fireballs cascading like a meteor shower onto the brood mother and incinerating most of her body and soft words in her ear following by a delicious taste in her mouth.

"Great work Irina; enjoy my blood as a reward."

He held the semi-unconscious girl, having used all her magic and divine power to fight the brood mother that was 11 levels higher than her, thankfully able to damage it due to the bonus attributes given during sex. 

'But it cannot fix the gap of experience and level...'

Lucifer used his fingers to open her mouth before holding her fangs to his neck.

Out of sheer instinct, her body began to cling to him and devoured his blood to heal her wounds and the missing blood from her using ⟪Blood Barrier⟫ and spells so recklessly.

As the pair were locked in an embrace, a female swaggered inside, holding a huge sword. Her green hair covered her face as she wore a black mask. "Oh, how jealous. Master is being so kind to that divine woman."

"What's the matter?" Lucifer answered flatly, not seeming to care about her jokes.

"Ah, I just wanted to update you on the Raccoon and demi-human settlement."

"Speak."

It wasn't that he was angry or anything, but just exhausted and wanted to go back and distribute their night's worth of Prana to increase Irina's level to 28 as soon as possible the goal was over 30.

Yet, he needed to make Lephalia, Gwen and himself stronger too.

"Mmmm, cold and down to business master is sexy too!" The demoness joked, before continuing, "We were able to get most of them to agree and the ones that didn't choose to move to another village due to their belief in the goddess who doesn't even acknowledge them as people, HAHA!"

Lucifer didn't judge her mockery of them.

Honestly, he, too, found it stupid why they cling to a goddess that incites their mistreatment, even labelling them as second-class existences in her doctrine.

'Well, I cannot save everyone. I hope this is enough for Lephalia's heart to feel at ease.'

He looked back at the demoness, knowing she was a strange race but didn't mind her attitude and quirks. "Good work Fel. Make sure to meet up with Marina, as she will probably need help in the future. I will make sure to reward you--"

Before he could react, his eyes widened as soft lips pressed against his.

There was no intense lust or passionate tongue but an affectionate peck as Fel's lips gently kissed his, her strawberry scent and the warmth of her body transferring to him through her lips.

Slowly she pulled away, her face under the hair and mask visibly red. 

"M-Master, this is enough. Thank you!" 

Lucifer could only watch as she vanished into the darkness after arranging all the spider parts and sellable things from the brood mother and her elite guards from outside...

'This girl... why is she so cute compared to her lewd actions normally?'

[Must be a scheme...]

"Ah... but it worked."

[Mmmm...]

"Sylvia, thanks for the advice... To help them grow with sheer numbers and fight harsh battles to improve their fighting abilities and skills."

[I-Idiot... you are my host and future husband... I just did what I had to.]

"Hmmm? Husband, since when?" 

[A-Ah.... ignore it!]

"Hahaha, sure. If you are a cute girl, I'll marry you."

[!!!]

[Lucifer, you idiot!] His necklace was gone, but the tattoo on his neck glowed along with the grimoire as she seemed shy at his words. 

All this time, his neck was sucked like a greedy cat drinking its mother's milk...

"Well... It looks like I can head home soon. Gwen is waiting."
