Chapter 460: An Adorable Giant Spider Queen, Kumo

-----
I don't know for how long, but I remember something, I passed out after the spider fight.
The fight by itself was very fun. It helped me break my limits, although I also struggled, and felt pain, anger, and frustration.
This damn spider was way too broken, I felt like the spirit of Kumoko was on her coming to beat my ass for being too arrogant or something… If we talked through contemporary terms, I got vibe checked.
Everything on her was a deadly weapon, and she used everything she had on her to break me apart. I feel like I got completely beaten down to a pulp, and it is freaking broke my pride as a dragon.
I felt ashamed.
Fafnir, I've failed you!
…
But I got no response, I guess he doesn't care.
I had opened my eyes and I found myself back to my humanoid form.

Wait what?! I slept for three hours? And what? You can take over my body?

Oh… I guess this can be useful in bad situations.
So where's the people? Did they pull through?
I stood up and found out that everyone was gathered around a bonfire. I saw a massive spider looking at me with her gigantic and beady eyes.
"Grryyshi!"
It left out a cute sound and then licked me with her gigantic tongue.
"Ugh… You're not cute like Kuro…" I sighed.
"Gryshi!"
"Why?! Why did I tamed you? I wanted you to die, you know? I wanted to feast on your mana core and eat your soul! You damn spider! Agh! I am going to kill you!"
"…"
The spider didn't seem to understand completely, but it could sense my hostility.
"Gryshi…"
It suddenly moved back and sat down. It lowered its head.
"Eh?"
"…"
It seemed to have become submissive and was… offering her life to me now?
What? If I ask her to die she'll let me kill her?
Ugh, now I feel bad.
"Why are you so submissive now after putting so much effort into killing me?"
"…?"
It seemed confused.
I thought about it for a while and realized there was no point in trying to kill this thing anymore. It was already tamed, and my ego had dissipated too, so I felt clearer minded.
I suppose now that I am more pragmatic with my decisions, I can conclude to add her into my party. Her strength will be admirable if she's so big and strong outside, and she can also make spider eggs which will grow into even more spiders, which we can use as soldiers.
Actually it doesn't sound so bad, fine, I'll make her my crew member now. You're part of the Winter Dragons!
"Fine, I guess you can join us. You better put up some good work though." I sighed.
"GRYSHI!"
The spider quickly stood up, rushed towards me, and jumped over me. Her gigantic body splattered my entire body into a slime pancake in the ground.
BOOM!
"AGGH! That could had killed me if I wasn't like this, you know!?" I sighed.
"GRYSHI!" the spider looked at me happily. I have to admit that she can be a very adorable pet, those big crimson-red eyes are winning over me quickly.
"GRYSHY?!"
However, Kuro emerged at my side, as she looked at her new adversary.
"GRYEE!"
The spider looked back at Kuro, as Kuro hissed back too.
"GRYSHAAA!"
"GRYYEE!"
The two began to hiss at each other, Kuro wasn't near as big, but she was putting some work into fighting against the might of… Let's call her Kumo.
"Okay calm down you two, don't fight, for Christ's sake… Get along!" I said.
"Gryyyhhh…"
"Grryyshiee…"
The two lowered their heads and sighed. I guess I had really tamed these two monstrous beings. I am really an amazing monster tamer! I could just use them to go around the world and wreak havoc.
Who can stop me now I got a giant almost 50-meter big spider? I can crush cities with her and fill everywhere I got with her eggs, hatching into plagues of mana-sucking spiders…
Heheh, I guess the Dark Shadow Sect has really provided quite the high-quality pets! I am glad! Thank you so much, you damn idiots!
"So, you're finally awake!" said Yuki.
"Drake!" Miranda rushed at me and hugged me in her human form.
"Sorry about passing out." I sighed, as I petted her.
"Y-You're really okay?" she sighed.
"Yeah… Damn I am starving and also I'm missing Benladann already, let's get out and eat something." I said.
"Alright then! I invite!" said Miranda.
"Wait, you do?!" I asked.
"Yeah, let's go eat Takoyaki! Now that the dungeon will be freed of spiders, there will be fish and other stuff in here soon, just like Yukihime said." Said Miranda.
"Huh? Who's Yukihime?" asked Yuki.
"Me!" said Yukihime, emerging behind Yuki.
"UWAH! G-Ghost?! Oh! I think I saw you faintly… I guess you were really a ghost and not just a hallucination or some weird spell that Drake used." Said Yuki.
"Indeed! Also, I am quite impressed that you hold the White Tiger Spirit within you, young monkey chinchilla beast-girl… Also I heard you used to be a monster! It is very rare for beast monsters to turn into demi-humans." Said Yukihime.
"Hehe, well, you see…" said Yuki.
The two Yukis got along quite well at the end.
