Earth Spider

**Earth Spider: Tsuchigumo** (土蜘蛛アーススパイダー, *Tsuchigumoāsusupaidā*?) is a earth-type Elemental Spirit.

## Overview

Earth Spiders are mid-tier earth elemental spirit.

## History

The elves summoned them in an attempt to stop Borda's cavalry. However they are blown away by the Boar riders.

## Etymology

**Tsuchigumo** (土蜘蛛, *lit. dirt/earth spider*?) is a historical Japanese derogatory term for renegade local clans, and also the name for a race of spider-like yōkai in Japanese folklore. Alternate names for the mythological Tsuchigumo include **yatsukahagi** (八握脛?) and **ōgumo** (大蜘蛛, *"giant spider"*?). In the *Kojiki* and in *Nihon Shoki*, the name was phonetically spelled with the four kanji 都知久母 (for the four morae *tsu-chi-gu-mo*), and these words were frequently used in the fudoki of Mutsu, Echigo, Hitachi, Settsu, Bungo and Hizen as well as others.

The Japanese name for large ground-dwelling tarantulas, ōtsuchigumo, is due to their perceived resemblance to the creature of the myth, rather than the myth being named for the spider. Japan has no native species of tarantula, and the similarities between the mythical and the actual creature—huge wandering spiders with an obvious face that like to hide in burrows—were entirely coincidental. The fact that the later iterations of the myth specifically refer to the body being that of a tiger, however, does imply that the description was influenced to some degree by the Chinese bird spider, which is commonly referred to as the "earth tiger" in its native habitat for its furry, prominently striped body and aggressive disposition.

闇狼スコルにして闇蛇アポピスなる者よ！！　九曜星ナヴァグラハの羅睺星ラーフラより出でてその姿を現せ！！　光喰らう者ライトイーター、エクリプス！！

## Summoner

* Zalxis
* Kuroki

## History

Zalxis summons Eclipse to counter Reiji's Bennu. Kuroki stole Eclipse from Zalxis.

Kuroki summoned Eclipse to counter Zalxis' Níðhöggr.

## Etymology

**Eclipse** (エクリプス, *Ekuripusu*?) is the term is derived from the ancient Greek noun ἔκλειψις (ékleipsis), which means "the abandonment", "the downfall", or "the darkening of a heavenly body", which is derived from the verb ἐκλείπω (ekleípō) which means "to abandon", "to darken", or "to cease to exist," a combination of prefix ἐκ- (ek-), from preposition ἐκ (ek), "out," and of verb λείπω (leípō), "to be absent".

**Sköll** (スコル, *Sukoru*?, Old Norse "Treachery" or "Mockery") is a wolf that chases the Sun (personified as a goddess, Sól). Hati Hróðvitnisson chases the Moon (personified, see Máni).

**Apophis** (アポピス, *Apopisu*?, Ancient Greek: Ἄποφις), also known as **Apep, Apepi, Aapep**, was the ancient Egyptian deity who embodied chaos (ı͗zft in Egyptian) and was thus the opponent of light and Ma'at (order/truth). He appears in art as a giant serpent. His name is reconstructed by Egyptologists as \*ʻAʼpāp(ī), as it was written ꜥꜣpp(y) and survived in later Coptic as Ⲁⲫⲱⲫ Aphōph.

**Rahu** (ラーフ, *Rāfu*?) is one of the **Navagraha**  (ナヴァグラハ, *Navuaguraha*?, nine major astronomical bodies) in Indian texts. Unlike the other eight, Rahu is a shadow entity, one that causes eclipses and is the king of meteors. Rahu represents the ascension of the moon in its precessional orbit around the earth.

## Development

The author wondered what to do with the top-tier darkness' elemental spirits. So he decided to put something out relating to the eclipse, but he was lost with Nordic's Sköll, Egyptian's Apophis and Rahu of India. The author thought it was a good mixture of everything, the Greek name "Loss of power" is the original Eclipse.

At that time Mermaids followed their queen's example and abandoned the Mermen, they switched to human partners. From this time mermaids and mermen became different races. At Sead's inland sea, Triden's kin group and Dalaugon's kin group are still fighting fiercely.

Just the night after the Hero of Light's Party fought the Dark Knight at Mount Holy Dragon. A flock of Minotaurs attacked Ariadia Republic and released the gladiator fiends.

The **Hydra** (ヒュドラ, *Hyudora*?), also known as **Lernaean Hydra or Hydra of Lerna**, is a serpentine water monster in Greek and Roman mythology. Its lair was the lake of Lerna in the Argolid, which was also the site of the myth of the Danaïdes. Lerna was reputed to be an entrance to the Underworld, and archaeology has established it as a sacred site older than Mycenaean Argos. In the canonical Hydra myth, the monster is killed by Heracles (Hercules) as the second of his Twelve Labours.

According to Hesiod, the Hydra was the offspring of Typhon and Echidna. It had poisonous breath and blood so virulent that even its scent was deadly. The Hydra possessed many heads, the exact number of which varies according to the source. Later versions of the Hydra story add a regeneration feature to the monster: for every head chopped off, the Hydra would regrow two heads. Heracles required the assistance of his nephew Iolaus to cut off all of the monster's heads and burn the neck using a sword and fire.

## Development

The hydra replaced Zafarada in the revised version of the Web Novel in the "Fairy Forest" arc.
