Chapter 41

## Summary

### 41-1

Back against the ceiling, Kumoko curses the fact that Earth Dragon Araba is better with fire than the Fire Dragon Rend was. Narrowly dodging an attack from Araba, Kumoko's thread ignites and her along with it, so she is forced to put herself out with [Medicine synthesis]. Realising she has no other choice, Kumoko dives back down the pit into the inferno below.

Araba continuously attacks, and dodging causes Kumoko to catch fire again but she cannot put herself out so her HP drains really quickly. dodging an attack from Araba, Kumoko narrowly dodges the flames only to get impaled by a spike made by Araba's magic. In a desperate counter attack, Kumoko sacrifices two eyes to use [Annihilating Evil Eye], taking off one of Araba's fingers.

Using the reprieve to cut herself free, Kumoko freefalls down but finds the ground is closing in too fast and retreating into a corridor isn't an option so she has to get back above Araba. Jumping below one of the ledges Araba made, Kumoko lets herself burn for a few moments to hide from Araba. Kumoko then teleports above him but Araba detects the spell and jumps back up, biting into Kumoko's abdomen and holding her between his teeth. Kumoko uses [Rot Attack] with both scythes to stab Araba and get free.

Kumoko uses [Medicine Synthesis] to heal herself and [Dimensional Manoeuvring] to create a platform in mid-air. Below, Araba gets ready to use a breath attack but collapses before he can fire as [Sloth] takes effect.

### 41-2

The battle over, Kumoko uses [Medicine Synthesis] again to heal herself as she reviews her strategy. She knew she could never win directly and whittle Araba's HP down, so she used [Sloth] to drain his SP instead and because Araba fought all out, Kumoko won.

Kumoko starts casting spells to finish the dying Araba and take back her pride. Suddenly, Araba sits up and, accepting his fate, turns off his skills. Seeing this, Kumoko is enraged as she cannot accept he would so readily accept his death. Furious, Kumoko activates all her Evil Eye skills and vaporises Araba instantly.

The battle over, Kumoko laments the hollowness of her bittersweet victory as she leaves, fully healed by her level ups.

## Quick References

1. Earth Dragon Araba ends up being better with fire than Fire Dragon Rend was.
2. The Ruler Skill [Sloth] increases the energy consumption of those around the user.
3. Kumoko beats Earth Dragon Araba by attacking his SP rather than his HP.
4. Skills can be turned off.
5. Earth Dragon Araba accepts his death and dies with dignity.
6. Kumoko's victory over Earth Dragon Araba is hollow and bittersweet.

Chapter 25

## Summary

### 25-1

Realising she had accidentally looped back, Kumoko tries to escape but the attacks from the enemy monsters are far to synchronised and precise. Realising she cannot hold back, Kumoko activates all her stat boosting skills and escapes to the ceiling, but soon finds herself surrounded. Kumoko ponders how to escape but realises their extreme precision actually makes dodging easier so she just needs to keep moving.

Kumoko casts the Level 6 [Poison Magic] spell, Poison Fog, as a wide area attack to thin out the weaker monsters while remaining on the defensive. A pair of Elroe Gunerush try to body slam Kumoko but are cut down. Using one as a stepping stone, Kumoko has to dodge a blast from the Elroe Gunesohka, which takes out several of its own minions. Seeing an Elroe Gunerave about to blast her, Kumoko creates a huge ball of poison to block the attack but the impacting fireball causes to burst into a poison rain, coating many of the minions below. Seeing how effective this is, Kumoko uses their fireball attacks against them to create more poison rain.

All the dying minions cause Kumoko to level up, but her moulting causes her to slip off the ceiling and the Gunesohka aims a huge breath attack at the plummeting Kumoko.

### 25-2

Kumoko creates a ball of poison in an attempt to save herself, but is blindsided by a shot from a nearby Gunerave. Luckily, Kumoko lands on a rock but the impact took all of her HP. The Gunerave tried to body slam Kumoko but is met with a [Rot Attack], disintegrating it and allowing Kumoko to level up twice more.

Surveying the scene as she moults on the rock, Kumoko sees the lesser enemies have been wiped out so only the Gunesohka and three Guneraves remain. The four are hit with [Cursed Evil Eye] to weaken them so paralysis will take hold. The four unleash a furious barrage of attacks to bring down Kumoko but she holds out until the three Guneraves are paralysed, leaving only the Gunesohka standing. The Gunesohka wraps itself in flames and charges.

## Quick References

1. Having a monster with leadership styled skills and titles present boosts the power of any subordinate monsters.
2. Fireballs can be blocked by balls of synthesised poison.
3. An Elroe Gunesohka will kill their own subordinates to take out powerful enemies.

## Summary

### 28-1

The battle between Kumoko and Fire Dragon Rend is only intensifying as Rend unleashes attack after attack. Forced to abandon escaping to the ceiling, Kumoko is left stranded in mid-air for a moment and Rend wastes no time in pouncing at her. Having predicted this, Kumoko creates a huge ball of poison and then dodges away. However, instead of swallowing the poison, Rend detonates a fireball in his own mouth to destroy it to minimise the damage.

Kumoko lands on a rock in the magma but then realises she has nowhere else to flee as Rend has been destroying all the rocks. Realising she had been checkmated, Kumoko can only look on as Rend blows her away with a huge breath attack.

### 28-2

The fight over, Rend starts to move away when he is suddenly hit with a huge ball of paralytic poison from above. Kumoko had tricked Rend with an illusion cast with [Heretic Magic]. Kumoko realises she can now escape but refuses to do so and goes on the offensive, using both [Poison Attack] and [Rot Attack] to stab Rend's neck.

Rend starts to move, forcing Kumoko to jump away. Despite the posion, Rend still have over 1000HP whilst Kumoko is relying on [Perseverance]. However, she has bought the time she needed and her fourth parallel mind, named 'Magic Brain Number 2', to cast the Level 1 [Abyss Magic] spell 'Hell Gate'. Kumoko the unleashes the spell on Rend.

## Quick References

1. Fire Dragons are far more intelligent than Fire Wyrms, such as the Elroe Gunesohka.
2. Kumoko can create illusions.
3. Kumoko's fourth parallel mind is also tasked with magic.

## Chapter Notes

1. Kumoko can now use her [Abyss Magic] skill.

Hyrince

## Hyrince Quarto

* Light Novel
* Anime

**Hyrince Quarto** is Julius's childhood friend as well as the tank of the Hero party. As the second son of Duke Quarto of the Analeit Kingdom, he is a proud noble who has dedicated himself to protecting his friends and home. He is an uncle-like figure in Shun's life.

## Synopsis

Hyrince was born as the second son of Duke Quarto, born as a spare in case something were to happen to his elder brother. During his youth, he was friends with Second Prince Julius and, since he couldn't become his family's heir, later became his squire after Julius was selected by the System to become the Hero

Hyrince is first shown in the Great Elroe Labyrinth along with Julius, Yaana, Jeskan, Hawkin and Goyef, successfully hunting and killing a Nightmare's Vestige.

Hyrince fought with Julius and the party against the demon army causing the annihilation of the party except Hyrince, thanks to the effect of the Phoenix's Feather. After that devastating event, Hyrince returns to the Kingdom of Analeit and proceeds to help out the new Hero, Shun by joining his newly formed Hero party.

**Volume 13 Spoilers**
It is later revealed that Hyrince is a clone of Güliedistodiez created to watch over the current holder of the Hero Title. The human infant Hyrince was stillborn, therefore, the Dragon God implanted his soul to begin his first experience as a human through the long influence of Sariel.

## Powers & Abilities

### Status

Note: This status is based on what information given from the story. He has no clean cut appraisal.

### Other Abilities

* **Soul connection:** Being a "clone" of Güliedistodiez, Hyrince can obtain update memory information about the world through periodic soul synchronization with the Dragon God as his external terminal, however, the transmission initiation is one-sided so Hyrince can only convey his information to his soul origin and cannot directly contact Güliedistodiez.

## Trivia

* The initial Hyrince was stillborn because his original soul was overtaxed by the confined world's reincarnation.

Conjuring

**Conjuring** (魔術, *Majutsu*) is an individual's ability to manipulate magical power into a tangible form unique to the individual. It is a feature unique to gods such as D, Shiraori, and Güliedistodiez.

## Description

As the base of magic, conjuring allows an individual to create truly unique forms of magic. For example, the System itself is entirely a conjuring construct developed by D and managed by Sariel. Shiraori also uses conjuring to create many of her unique abilities.

## Usage

Conjuring is used by the gods to create their own magic. There are some forms of magic such as the Boundary Field that are known by all gods, but most magic created through conjuring is unique to the individual.

Conjuring invocation stages:

1. Choice
2. Activation: Prepare the stage
3. Catch: Recognize the required construction
4. Construction: Construct the conjuring circuit (usually the longest step)
5. Conjunction: Connect to the constructed circuit
6. Injection: Inject magic power into the circuit
7. Saturation: Fill the circuit
8. Change: Modify the construction (optional)
9. Invocation

## Restrictions

Conjuring has inherent restrictions. Mortals are unable to use conjuring. The System is an assistance tool that allows mortals to use a restricted form of conjuring in the form of Magic Skills, with specific tiers and spells. Unique cases are those with Ruler Skills due to allowing an individual to interfere the MA Area.[*citation needed*] A god cannot create magic that they do not inherently have knowledge of.[*citation needed*] They also do not have access to the System's assistance, making them unable to use Magic Skills linked to attributes defined in the System. The exception to this rule are Administrators who are directly linked to the System and are able to manipulate it to a certain extent.

## Summary

Kumoko is being cornered by the Arch Taratect and the three Greater Taratects and she realises she cannot take all four on in a fair fight. However, the Arch Taratect falls into her trap and Kumoko wastes no time in pouncing and teleports to the Middle Stratum with the Arch Taratect in tow.

The Arch tries to survive the scorching heat, using [Dimensional Manoeuvring] to avoid plunging into the magma. Kumoko uses magic and Evil Eyes to brutalise the Arch Taratect and thwart it's futile attempts to survive, even using healing magic to try and offset the damage Kumoko is causing. Concerned by its persistence, Kumoko starts throwing Black Spears to kill the Arch quickly.

Once it is dead, Kumoko catches the falling corpse to avoid wasting food. Kumoko then teleports back home and proceeds to catch and cook the three Greater Taratects one after the other in the same way. Once the three are dead, she returns home and upon seeing the mess her traps made she realises she'll need to clean up herself.

## Quick References

## Summary

Kumoko realises she has fallen into Mother's trap as she faces off against the army that was waiting for her in her home. As the Arch Taratects begin to attack, Kumko realises her back has been damaged by a graze from mother and struggles to dodge the attacks. One of the Arch Taratects manages to catch and pin Kumko but she uses [Earth Magic] to push it away and escapes.

Completely on the defensive against the five Arch Taratects, Kumoko starts losing limbs as she is pushed back. Realising she needs to escape, Kumoko casts Poison Fog to create an opening before making a break for the Middle Stratum, with the Arch Taratects close on her tail.

As she approaches the Middle Stratum, Kumoko sees a strange doll like monster, a Puppet Taratect, waiting ahead. The Puppet Taratect jumps into action and Kumoko is forced to sacrifice her scythe legs to avoid getting killed.

Dark Dragon Reise

Image from Volume 10

**Dark Dragon Reise** is a powerful ancient dragon and protector of the sword of the Demon Lord. Reise has the rare ability to transform into a human, which they use against the other humans to sow discord and steal military intelligence.

## Monster file

A dark dragon who protects the Sword of the Demon Lord. One of the eldest and strongest of the already powerful dragons. Even without transforming, this dragon already has a humanoid form. As a result, they take unusual battle tactics compared with most dragons, using martial arts and magic. Since Reise was essentially sealed away with the Sword of the Demon Lord in a separate dimension, their level and stats are slightly lower than those of the other ancient dragons. However, they have several skills that would be effective even on gods; thus their total battle capability is no less than the others'. A legendary-class monster, assumed untouchable by humans.

## Appearance

Reise is the most humanoid of all the Dragons, as even without **Humanification** they are bipedal. Their scales are a dark black, which colour transfers into their more human form. The clothes they wear are a fancy suit and pants along with a hat and gloves, as seen in their monster file.

## Personality

Like all Dragons they are very loyal to Güliedistodiez. They're somewhat playful, referring to Ariel as Nee-san in a playful manner. Though they are also very serious in times of need as seen in Final Battle.

## Trivia

* Riese has revealed that they are one of the many genetic experiments created by Potimas Harrifenas during their, Güliedistodiez, Shiraori and Ariel's meeting to discuss the state of the world and the solution to fix it.
	+ Due to Potimas' using his genetics for his experiments, they could technically be considered Ariel's sibling. Causing them to fondly call her "*Nee-san*" as they consider her as their older sister.
* Riese trained to learn Abyss magic as an Anti-God countermeasure, though they themself admit if Güliedistodiez were to fall to an invader (God), they would not stand a chance.
Elroe Gunerave

**Elroe Gunerave** is an eel-like monster that live in the magma of the Middle Stratum of the Great Elroe Labyrinth.

## Description

Also known as an eel. A midranking wyrm monster that looks like an eel with limbs. Evolved form of catfish (Elroe Guneseven). Its fire attacks are far more powerful than those of any lower-class wyrm. In addition, its high physical strength makes it strong on a practical level, and it is intelligent enough to make decisions based on its situation. It isn’t as cowardly as the catfish (Elroe Guneseven) but has still been known to flee if it meets a much stronger opponent. Danger level B.

## Personality

A wordly-wise man. At the time when he was putting strenuous efforts into trying to do something about the Demon who were declining in various ways such as population decrease, Ariel was inaugurated as the Demon Lord, and with her proposal that “we shall invade the human territories” he was driven into an even greater dilemma, turning him into a pitiful person who has constant stomach pains. He works so hard that Shiro fears he might die from overwork.

## Relationships

Ariel
Balto currently serves Ariel as her most faithful secretary to the Demon Lord, Balto himself is entrusted with the day-to-day management of the Demon Realm and Ariel defers to him when handling domestic matters and dealing with the other commanders of the Demon Army. Balto himself is one of the few individuals who knows of Ariel's true power, and despite privately disapproving her actions of pushing the demons to militarization and waging war against humanity, Balto himself goes along with it due to knowing that she could singlehandedly annihilate the entire demon race on her own and hopes to mitigate the damages of her actions instead.
Shiraori
Balto is similarly terrified of Shiraori due to knowing that that she was equal(unknown to him superior) to Ariel in power. Balto himself suspects that Shiraori herself is a "ruler". Balto is wary of her due to seeing her as the Demon Lord's most loyal retainer and knows that one of the main reason why any attempt to dethrone Ariel was impossible was not only due to her immense power, but also due to Shiraori's presence backing her up, making it impossible to defy them. Balto himself knows this to be true due to the events surrounding his younger brother Bloe's death, where he had accurately determined that Shiraori herself could have easily killed the hero and anyone else of similar strength to him with little effort.
Bloe
Bloe is Balto's younger brother.

## Summary

### 20-1

A huge monster bursts out of the magma, an Elroe Gunesohka. Realising it must be a highly evolved form of the Elroe Gunerush and a true Fire Wyrm, Kumoko flees before it can attack. Contemplating how advance, Kumoko decides to focus on the smaller monsters for now and experiment.

Appraising an Elroe Gunerush in the magma, Kumoko discovers she can appraise skills and that it only has four of them, despite her having sixty-seven skills so far. Kumoko starts experimenting with her poison attacks and finds poison does miniscule damage on contact but if she can coat the enemy with enough of it then it will seep in and kill them if it doesn't burn off immediately. After killing the Gunerush, an Elroe Guneseven appears. Kumoko appraises it and confirms it also has few skills but also realises it is an evolved form of the Gunerush. Kumoko baits the Guneseven by throwing a rock and it attacks with a huge fire ball before trying to suck Kumoko into its mouth.

### 20-2

Kumoko endures the Guneseven's attempt to suck her in. When it realises the attack failed, the Guneseven pounces but ends up swallowing a ball of poison and dies. After Kumoko devours it she wonders if [Overeating] is related to a gluttony skill similar to [Pride].

As she looks for prey, Kumoko notices she cannot detect enemies easily within the magma. A huge Elroe Gunerave, an eel like monster, bursts out of the magma. Apprising it, Kumoko sees it is really strong yet only in the middle tier of Fire Wyrm type monsters. While deciding whether to escape of not, the Gunerave starts launching fireballs with a speed high enough that Kumoko struggles to evade. Realising her low stamina would run out before she could escape, Kumoko resolves to endure the Gunerave's fireballs and Flame Breath attacks until it's forced into close combat.

## Quick References

1. Kumoko discovers she can appraise the skills of other monsters.
2. Kumoko discovers monsters have few skills.
3. Poison will seep in and become more effective if it remains in contact with the target long enough.
4. Elroe Guneseven have a breath attack and can suck their targets into their mouths from a distance.
5. The [Overeating] skill allows a reserve of SP to be stored.
6. Elroe Gunerave are a species of middle-tier Fire Wyrms and have a flamethrower like breath attack.

## Chapter Notes

1. [Taste Enhancement] Level 6 to Level 7.
2. [Overeating] Level 7 to Level 8.
3. [Thought Acceleration] Level 1 to Level 2.
4. [Foresight] Level 1 to Level 2.

Ael

**Ael** is one of the Puppet Taratect sisters that join White, Ariel, Sophia, and Merazophis on their journey to the Demon Realm. Ael acts as the eldest to her sisters, acting as a role model and example to the others.

## Appearance

Ael's appearance is that of a young girl with slightly spoofed short hair. She wears a high bow on her head, reminiscent of bunny-ears. For clothes, White fashioned an outfit that looks a like a mix between a shrine maiden and Japanese school outfit, but the sleeves are extra wide to fit her six arms. She also wears a pleated skirt that ends just above her knees.

## Personality

Ael acts as an example for her sisters. She is often the most adventurous and least shy. Her sisters tend to look towards her for learning, and she is also responsible for reprimanding them when they behave inappropriately. Sometimes she gets tired of looking after them, so she will do things that the others will follow in order to distract them for a bit so she can take a break, such as climbing onto White for a piggy-back ride; this essentially off-hands her normal responsibilities to White, much to White's chagrin.

## Abilities

She is a legendary class Monster having stats averaging higher than 10,000. Her puppet body has six arms, each capable of wielding a weapon and can be used easily overwhelm opponents in hand-to-hand combat. She is proficient in Dark Magic and Poison Magic.

Chapter 47

## Summary

### 47-1

Kumoko is about to make plans when D's phone reappears. D comments she is curious how Kumoko will deal with 'her' and hopes Kumoko survives to keep entertaining her. The phone then disappears again. Kumoko immediately picks up on the subtle warning, that there are ways around the [Immortality] skill to kill her. Kumoko also theorises she could be sealed somewhere too, so should only use it as a last resort.

Kumoko then contemplates how to tackle the Puppet Taratect, but decides instead to leave it and Mother alone for now and focus on slaughtering the rest of her forces.

Resorting to guerrilla warfare tactics, Kumoko starts using teleport to launch hit and run attacks on the Taratects in the Great Elroe Labyrinth, one-sidedly massacring the weaker strains until withdrawing when the Puppet Taratect arrives. Upon teleporting away, Kumoko is also exploring outside of the labyrinth where she eventually finds the ocean.

### 47-2

Deciding to take a break, Kumoko floats in the sea, while killing the sharks that keep attacking her. Taking the meat ashore, Kumoko tucks in to some shark sushi. Suddenly, Kumoko is contacted by Body Brain who warns her that a very dangerous being is headed towards her position so she needs to run. Kumoko is confused as Body Brain tries to explain an even worse monster than Mother is headed towards her.

Suddenly, there is a huge blast as a young girl appears who, upon being appraised, is revealed to be the Origin Taratect, Ariel. Ariel speaks to Kumoko, but she doesn't understand the language. Kumoko tries to indicate this through gestures, but Ariel cannot understand the meaning. Getting angry, Ariel waves her arm and Kumoko's body is blown apart instantly.

## Summary

### 40-1

Kumoko uses [Repellent Evil Eye] to dodge Earth Dragon Araba's breath attack, barely dodging in time. Kumoko tries to resume the shoot out but is forces to retreat higher and higher. Araba suddenly stops, having seen the trap webs Kumoko laid in advance.

Using the trap web as a barrier, Kumoko unleashes a flood of poison at Araba, hitting him. Araba fires back with low power breath attacks/ Kumoko dodges and is forced to do some quick repairs to the web before resuming the fight by hurling sticky thread bombs to try and trap Araba. Araba dodges and returns fire, but Kumoko is able to guide the thread bombs to avoid the blasts. Confused the breath attacks are still being sustained, Kumoko realises Araba was targeting the web but it is too late as Araba pounces through the hole and slashes Kumoko, but it is an illusion. Kumoko then triggers her trap and catches Araba in her web.

### 40-2

Araba tries to escape the web with a breath attack, but Kumoko uses [Heretic Magic] to cause him pain, distracting Araba for the few moments she needed to finish closing her trap and capturing him completely.

With her opponent trapped, Kumoko quickly readies herself to unleash masses of poison, but suddenly there is a blinding flash of light as Araba escapes, having wrapped himself in flames. Appraising him, Kumoko sees Araba has spent all of his skill points to buy skills specifically to counter and kill Kumoko, including advanced [Inferno Magic], [Flame Resistance], [Black Resistance] and [Space Perception]. Araba has specialised to defend against her attacks while targeting Kumoko's weaknesses, giving him an advantage no enemy has had before.

Araba creates bridges across the pit on and ignites it, before rapidly closing in on Kumoko. Kumoko is forced to retreat further and further until her back hits the ceiling.

## Quick References

1. Monsters usually don't spend their skill points.
2. Araba spends all his skill points to but specialised skills to defeat Kumoko.

## Chapter Notes

Aurel

## Aurel Stadt

Image from Volume 6

**Aurel Stadt** is an imperial court wizard. Second only to Ronandt in magic ability among the humans, and Ronandt’s Apprentice No.2. She was originally the daughter of a low-ranking noble.

## Character Page

The youngest daughter of a relatively poor noble family that resides in a rural part of the Renxandt Empire. She was sent away from home under the pretext of learning housework so that she could have a chance to marry into a richer family, but she initially had difficulty finding employment because of her crass mannerisms. That was when Ronandt happened upon her. Aside from her rudeness, she's actually a rather intelligent and talented young woman. The problem is that she has no intention of reforming her behavior. An impudent girl, she has the nerve to be blunt even with her employer. She and the eccentric Ronandt make for a bit of an odd combination, but they seem to get along, which is why she often puts up with Ronandt's strange whims.

## Synopsis

Aurel originally entered Ronandt’s service as an attendant, but became his apprentice and an imperial court wizard before she noticed. She fought in the battle against Merazophis, providing supporting fire to Asaka and Kunihiko.

Arachne

**Arachne** is a Taratect subspecies with the upper body of a human and a spider for a lower body; what kind depends on what species it was before evolving. It is a special evolution available exclusively to small-to-medium sized Taratects that are at least level 50 and possess the Ruler Skill Pride.

## Monster File

A monster with no confirmed sightings in recorded history. As such, there is little to no information about it, and it is shrouded in mystery. It is said that the human part of the monster's body has the appearance of an exceptionally beautiful girl, but this is only a rumor, the truth of which is unknown. Because there are so few witnesses, it is questionable whether this monster even exists at all. The only sightings occurred during periods in which the Nightmare of the Labyrinth or a Nightmare's Vestige were also sighted, so it is thought that witnesses may have simply mistaken them for this creature. Because its very existence is in doubt, it is impossible to measure the danger level of this monster.

## Synopsis

Realizing it would be impossible to communicate with humans in her spider body, Kumoko makes her long-term goal to evolve into an Arachne, hoping that having a human torso might make her more appealing.

## Powers & Abilities

The abilities of an Arachne appear to depend heavily on what species it was before evolving, the traits of which the spider half inherits. Overall, the evolution does not give any unique skills and merely offers an increase in stats. In fact, they might even lose some skills should they be incompatible with the body structure (Kumoko lost the Swim skill she had as a Zana Horowa). However, in turn, an Arachne does possess some of humanity's unique traits through their human half, like being capable of speech and equipping items. Furthermore, having both a human and spider body gives it a unique field-of-vision and two brains, if one were to be destroyed the other can continue operating just fine.

## Trivia

* The species' name is a reference to Arachne from Greek mythology. Arachne was once a talented mortal weaver who proudly claimed to be a better artist than Athena, goddess of wisdom and crafts. They both challenged one another to a weaving competition, where Athena created a tapestry about the glory of the gods, while Arachne created one about the gods abusing their power and misleading mortals. Although both tapestries were exquisite, Athena was so enraged by Arachne's pride and her disrespect of the gods that she ripped the mortal's work to shreds and started beating her mercilessly. Consumed by shame, Arachne hanged herself, but Athena, out of pity, reincarnated the mortal as the world's first spider.

Chie

## Chie Nanase

**Chie Nanase** (七瀬 千恵, *Nanase Chie*) is one of the reincarnations held captive in the elf village. Couldn’t care less about converting to the rotten path. Or at least, that’s what she thought long ago. Before she realised it she was stuck in the swamp. The rotten path is fearsome.

## Appearance

Chie didn't change much after reincarnating. She still retains her greenish-gray short hair, and her red glasses.

## Abilities

**Motherly:** Can inflict Sleep status by hugging others. Proficiency gain increased for healing-type skills. The effects of passive regeneration skills are improved for everyone nearby her.

## Etymology

* The name **Chie** means "thousand" (千) (**chi**) and "favor, benefit" (恵) (**e**).
* Chie's surname **Nanase** means "seven" (七) (**nana**) and "swift current, rapids" (瀬) (**se**).

Ede Saine

* Light Novel
* Monster File

**Ede Saine** is a sub-species of Taratect feared as a symbol of death that specializes in stealth and Rot Attacks. It is characterized by its black body, except for a white skull pattern on its back, and its two scythe-like front-legs.

## Monster File

A spider-type monster feared as an omen of death. It's said that the moment you encounter this terrifying creature, your fate is sealed. Because there are so few living witnesses, it is difficult to assess its precise danger level. It is estimated to be at least level B.

## Trivia

* Normal Zoa Ele and Ede Saine do not have the skill Rot Resistance. As such, using the Rot Attack skill would usually kill both the target and the user. Kumoko's Rot Resistance was gained from Foul Feeder and further increased by eating an Elroe Gastruch of the Lower Stratum of the Great Elroe Labyrinth, and allowed her to not instantly die when using the attack.
* Kumoko apparently loses the Dark Resistance skill she had as a Zoa Ele, only to regain it later as a Zana Horowa. This error is also present in the Japanese version.
