Reborn As An Evolving Monster

The Mutated Spider Queen used its legs to jump off the wall it was on.

As it fell to the ground, a cloud of smoke covered its gigantic body.

A nervous smile appeared on Mark's face.

'Even Kira looks small in comparison...'

The black spear had pierced the wall behind the Mutated Spider Queen.

It turned into a thick black liquid.

As if it had a mind of its own, the deadly corrupting liquid traveled through the air and entered the Monster's wound.

The Mutated Spider Queen opened its mouth.

Its eyes were bloody red.

'Is the poison already showing some effect or...? Fiery.'

The next second, a stream of purple liquid was shot from the Mutated Spider Queen's mouth.

Mark's Underling activated its "Fire Barrier" Magic Skill just in time, protecting both itself and Light.

A purple smoke screen appeared, as the flames quickly evaporated the venomous liquid.

Without missing a beat, Mark launched himself towards the Monster as fast as he could.

Meanwhile, Fiery ordered her Offspring, the Mutated Fire Ants, to climb on the walls.

Once the smokescreen had faded, the spider queen was nearly surrounded.

An avalanche of Fire Balls flew towards it.

While each individual attack did not pose a threat, receiving fifty of them at once was bound to do some damage and catch the queen's attention.

'Good.'

Mark placed himself behind the Monster.

He quickly and stealthily climbed onto its abdomen.

[Your Passive Skill "Assassin's Movements[E]" has evolved into "Weightless Steps[D]".]

'That's one of my oldest Skills. Nice timingL' Mark thought as he looked down.

Mark stared at the wound his "Dark Poisoned Spear" had left on the Monster's body.

'The flesh beneath the exoskeleton is much easier to damage. It's already blueish because of the Corrupting Poison's effect...'

The Mutated Spider Queen, completely unaware of Mark's presence, lifted its abdomen.

From its spinneret, a huge amount of silk was produced and shot at the numerous Mutated Fire Ants.

The silk was so sticky, heavy, and tough that Fiery's Offspring were imprisoned by it.

Meanwhile, due to the queen's sudden movement, Mark had fallen from its abdomen.

He stood the Monster's head.

One of its creepy bloodshot eyes was staring straight at him, but it seemed like the Monster did not mind Mark's presence.

'I can't do anything since I'm alone. Since I'm this small, huh? Understandable.'

Mark's tail waved behind him.

'The numerous Fire Ants are more dangerous than I am, right?'

A second eye stared at him.

And a wicked smile appeared on Mark's face.

WHIP-

With a single flick of Mark's tail, the Mutated Spider Queen's staring eye was crushed.

The Monster quickly became agitated.

It screeched loudly as it randomly moved its body in every direction.

A second tail flick.

A second eye exploded.

The fact that it was being slowly deprived of its vision made the Mutated Spider Queen lose all reason.

The Corrupting Poison accelerated the Monster's descent into near madness.

The Mutated Spider Queen suddenly started using its forelegs to slash the Monster that was on its head.

Its 10 remaining eyes were staring solely at Mark.

The Monster on top of its head must be eliminated.

It used its sickle-like legs to slash the threat.

Although, more often than not, those sharp legs ended up slashing the Mutated Spider Queen's own body instead.

Mark could easily dodge the awkward attacks while balancing himself on the huge Monster's body.

'It only lost 2 eyes out of twelve, but I get why it would panic this much. Without its senses, it would have no way of predicting danger. Even if the Fire Ants were much stronger, it still would have focused its attention on me, since I can limit its ability to sense threats. Although... It's a bit too late now.'

Mark spread his wings.

With one strong motion, he was lifted into the air.

[Your Passive Skill "Flight[F]" has evolved into "Swift Aerial Maneuvering[E+]"]

Mark dodged the continuous attacks as he extended an open palm.

A Fire Ball wrapped in electric Mana appeared in front of that palm.

The next instant, the ball of fire started growing in size.

In a second, it became at least 6 times larger.

'Tsk. It lost the electric Mana around it. Still...'

[Your Magic Skill "Electric Fire Ball[D]" has evolved into "Great Fire Ball[D+]"]

The Great Fire Ball was shot towards the Monster's abdomen.

The Mutated Spider Queen's 10 remaining eyes immediately focused on the shiny and fearsome attack.

As the enemy was a huge Monster, it could not dodge completely, despite its best efforts.

But Mark did not care about the Great Fire Ball.

It wasn't used to deal damage, but simply to divert the enemy's attention.

Mark folded his wings.

He let himself dive head first.

With his arms extended in front of him, his claws pierced another one of the Monster's eyes.

'Shit-'

But Mark's body did not stop there.

As the momentum was great, his whole body ended up penetrating the Mutated Spider Queen's enormous head.

'This is...'

In the middle of flesh, blood, veins and organs, Mark used his claws to slash as much meat as he could.

'THIS IS GROSS!!'

The Mutated Spider Queen screeched loudly as it moved its body in every direction.

Desperate, it even slashed its own body and its remaining eyes while trying to kill the "parasite" that was nested inside its head.

The Monster's huge body stumbled and crushed many of the eggs it had previously laid.

It hit the cave walls and nearly broke them.

The whole area shook.

Multiple Mutated Fire Ants were squished like bugs.

Mark used his claws and multiple Magic Skills to damage the enormous enemy from within.

Despite its struggle, the Mutated Spider Queen fell to the ground minutes later.

[You have defeated one Mutated Spider Queen. 20'000 Gold Coins and 40'000 Experience Points earned.]

Even though Mark had received that notification, he was still slashing the Monster's body.

'THIS IS GROSS!! WHAT THE HELL, I'M LOST! HOW CAN I LEAVE THIS FREAKING HUGE BODY!!!'

[The Mutated Spider Queen has been defeated.]

'SO? I KNOW IT'S DEAD! WHAT KIND OF DUMB INFORMATION IS THAT??'

Mark was enraged.

Only after slashing the Monster's body or a couple more times did he realize.

'Oh...'

With a touch of his hand, the Monster's body, in which he was entrapped, was transformed into a red sphere of energy.

Mark was finally free, and slightly embarrassed.

Once his feet hit the ground, he shook his body in an attempt to get the blood off.

'Catch.' Mark ordered.

He threw the red ball of energy at the Mutated Fire Ant Queen.

The latter caught it with an open mouth.

The sphere of energy was immediately swallowed.

[You have used the Magic Skill "Assimilation[A]"]

[Your Underling "Fiery" is assimilating another creature.]

The next second, Fiery's whole body was shrouded by a cloud of Mana.

The cloud's color changed every now and then.

It went from red to yellow, to purple.

Meanwhile, Mark looked around the room.

'So many eggs. I guess I'll leave them to Fiery. But there's no exit. This is the end of this tunnel, huh? Since it was the largest one, I thought it would lead to the Guardian...'

Mark couldn't wait to test his strength against a Boss Monster.

Still, he had no choice but to step back out of the tunnel he had entered.

'Fiery, once you finish assimilating the Spider Queen deal with all those eggs. The level-ups will help.'

Mark left his Underling behind, as it was still shrouded in the cloud of Mana.

He went back to the spot where the way was divided into three tunnels, alongside Light.

'Just the two of us now, huh? One down, two to go.' Mark thought.

Eager to prove his worth, Light stood in front of his Master, waiting for orders.
