Chapter 16 Best Friend Pt.I
Honestly, the one time I wanted snakes and rabbits to come my way, I couldn't find them. It was so bad I was tempted to use [Golden Chick Cry], but that was a move I had reserved myself to never ever use, out of fear of calling something extremely dangerous to my side.
It had been some minutes since I told myself that I'd forcefully raise my level up by 5 times today. This was going to be hard.
Eventually, I managed to get some food for my evolution, but it wasn't one I wanted. I was running around when I got trapped in some kind of sticky mess. I thought it was something like the boar from the last time, but it wasn't. There were no eyes or mouth and it wasn't fur.
I heard some clacking sounds from above, so I looked up. A vile of purple of substance dropped on the ground next to me, melting the ground.
'Acid?'
There were some huge black fangs slowly approaching me, with eight eyes and a very hairy black body as well as eight limbs with the tips being pure white - a stark contrast to the rest of its body.
I could feel a click in my head and I instinctively knew that [Analyst] was working again.

'Ah… your titles are all weird, but that matters not. You are close to evolving as well. How unfortunate for you. Oh well! Please die for me! You shall make it as one of my stepping stones to greatness!'
It let out an acid filled screech, spraying my face with extremely painful acid.
'My eye!'
I began wriggling in pain. Not letting me writhe in pain, the spider then began to release spider webs around me. Not wanting to get trapped, I tested something out.
'Oi agent! [Poison Generation] allows me to create poison from any part of my body, right?'
<<Negative>>
The webs wrapped themselves around me and grabbed me tightly, squeezing the life out of me.
'Keuk-! But I can secrete it from anywhere, right?'
<<Affirmative>>
I clicked my tongue and activated [Poison Generation]. I allowed the poison to be released from every part of my body other than my head, melting through the acid. I had only one thing to say about that. It hurt like hell.
I jumped out of the trap and rolled around on the ground, but I didn't want to scream.
'Sa sa! This hurts! This really, really hurts! Friggin [Pain Resistance]! Do your thing! Uwa! I hate this!'
The spider landed with a thud next to me, immediately alarming me to its presence. For that moment I forgot about the pain and jumped up and activated [White Viper Scales] to hide my now featherless body.
'Tch, if only I could have used this skill before.'
The spider shot another web at me, but I flipped back to avoid it, using [Acrobatics] and then immediately ran towards it with [Sprint]. Going for my [Spear head] attack, but the spider easily dodged it.
'Tch. I forgot that it's got [Acrobatics] as well. I'll need to stun it. [Lustful Gaze]… EH?!'
I activated the skill, forgetting that it had simply shifted from [Adorable Wink] into [Lustful Gaze]. The good thing was that the spider had eight eyes, so there was no avoiding my gaze. The bad thing was that it couldn't avoid my gaze.
As soon as that happened, the spider looked at me as if it were hungrier, with its poison dropping from its fangs, then it charged at me.
'Shit- [Acrobatics]'
I jumped over the spider and its eyes had this weird light in them, like a pervert's. I should know what those eyes looked like. I've seen a few of them whenever someone looked at Akane. I hated those eyes.
I decided to test out [Terror] on the spider in a rage.
Light disappeared from my eyes for a split second, but when it returned, I saw the monster's eyes again. They were shaking and the monster was screaming about and flailing its limbs all around. When I dropped, I didn't waste time to confirm if it worked.
I used [Spearhead] again, this time with the use of [Poison Generation] at the tip to form my new skill.
'Tori original [Poison Maelstrom]!'
I twisted about, with poison at my beak to enable drilling through the spider from the back to the front. I didn't expect the amount of blood that came exploding out though.
[You have received 600 exp]
[You have gone up 1 level]
The spider dropped to the ground lifelessly behind me and my body went poof, helping me out with my burning face.
'Oh! Thank you God! That really hurt like hell.'
I walked towards the spider and began to peck at the spider to get its skills. The result was as expected.
[Due to the unique skill [Evolver], you have acquired the ability [Thread creation]]
[Due to the unique skill [Evolver], you have acquired the ability [Thread control]]
[Due to the unique skill [Evolver], you have acquired the ability [Stealth]]
After getting just these skills, I was starting to reach a sort of conclusion on how [Evolver]'s skill absorption worked. So far, from what I had seen, it depended on where on the monster's body I ate. Normally, that would make me want to eat the entire body of my opponents, but it wasn't possible with my build.
'If I get another spider, I'll eat somewhere other than its back.'
'[Thread creation] and [Thread Control]? Hehe, time to go swinging in New York!'
I raised my wing and willed for the activation of [Black Thread Creation]. Something weird escaped my wing tip and fell to the ground in a pathetic way. It was a dull dark grey and seemed fluffy. I attempted using [Thread Control], but I could only shift it slightly.
'Ah… I guess I'll have to learn how to use it better later. Now let's try [Stealth]! I've always wanted to be a ninja!'
I activated the skill, but nothing happened. I looked around to see if I had become invisible, but I could see myself. I shrugged and decided to just leave it on while running around in search of food. I could just perform sneak attacks, making battles way easier for me.
'Eh, I did it Akane. I stopped another one of those perverted gazes you didn't like.'
I sat down.
'I miss you. I hope you forgive me for being a complete moron.'
I could feel tears about to escape my eyes, but I wouldn't allow them. I got up to search for my next prey for the day.
I was about to jump off, but then something wrapped around me tightly. I looked and saw a cream colored vine that was wrapping itself around me more and more.
'Eh? What is this!?'
I followed the vine till I found a giant mushroom fixed to a tree. It had huge green orbs for what I presumed to be eyes. A large opening under its umbrella filled with wooden fangs and red spots all over it.
