Chapter 19

## Summary

### 19-1

Kumoko faces off against the Elroe Gunerush but now it has come onto solid ground, the Gunerush is quickly overwhelmed and poisoned to death, though its body is so hot that Kumoko burns herself in the process. Another pair of Gunerushs attack Kumoko moments later, but following the same process, dodge the ranged attacks until the come onto land and then kill them by imbuing her front legs with with deadly poison, Kumoko quickly dispatches the pair.

After eating, Kumoko tries to take a nap but is unable to get any decent sleep. She wakes up to find that she is being attacked without warning. Narrowly evading, Kumoko appraises the monster and discovers it is another type of fire wyrm, an Elroe Guneseven. Kumoko decides to withdraw but finds another of the wyrms in the magma on the other side and gets flanked and trapped between the pair as they come onto land.

### 19-2

Realising she cannot escape, Kumoko concludes she needs to finish one of the Gunesevens quickly. Using spider thread imbued with attribute damage, Kumoko confirms that the poison will work, though the thread burns on contact. The first Guneseven pounces to try and swallow Kumoko, but she takes advantage of this and creates a ball of poison with [Poison Synthesis] and evades the attack at the last moment, escaping whilst poisoning the Guneseven. The poison is highly effective and it dies in moments. Upon seeing this, the other flees back into the magma.

Before devouring the Guneseven, Kumoko investigates the new skills she attained levelling up, deciding to keep [Thought Acceleration] on at all times since it doesn't use MP or SP, allowing her to see things in slow motion though her body itself doesn't speed up. [Appraisal] also levels up, hitting Level 9 and allowing Kumoko to see and investigate her titles. In doing so she discovers all the additional perks provided on top of the boosts from the skill [Pride], and the existence of the 'ruling class privileges,' though it appears she cannot yet use them.

Having finally cooled, Kumoko devours the Guneseven, the first delicious meal she has had since reincarnating, and fully resolves to make a point of hunting more Gunesevens going forwards. Finishing her meal and excited to hunt more, Kumoko looks towards the magma to see a giant head emerging.
