So I'm a Snake, Who Cares?

The sky tinged with purple.

The air feeling heavy due to the abnormally abundant magical energy.

Numerous monsters swarming on the ground.

The roaring of those creatures, the smell of blood from them devouring each other.

Above all, the killing intent piercing the sky.

A big fight hadn't started yet because the leaders were still holding back.

But it was only a matter of time.

Even Riokku, the leader of the insect army, was drooling.

It wanted to devour the monsters right away.

The insect monster suffering from endless hunger thanks to the parasites filling its stomach.

The humanoid spider knew that Riokku usually submerged itself in the swamp, endlessly swallowing the green swamp and defecating in the same place to satisfy its hunger.

Truly a miserable and ugly creature.

The only reason that thing became the leader was because it was the largest and most powerful.

The spider had a desire.

The desire to possess the radiant fruit.

And it didn't seem so impossible.

In fact, the giant centipede was more of a threat than Riokku.

The humanoid spider had already planned to annihilate the giant centipede and its family at this place.

The appearance of the small snake was unexpected, but...

It rushed over and even lost an inner core.

But well, it was an acceptable loss.

It would be worth it if it could sweep away the centipede and that animal group.

The spider smiled cunningly.

How hard it was to hold back that smile.

Those guys probably didn't realize their fate that was soon to come.

Bang!

That's when it happened.

Fire caught on the thorny bushes surrounding the giant roots of the world tree.

The thorny bushes disappeared in an instant, leaving only ashes.

Now it begins.

There was an even more certain sign.

"Ah, the sweet scent."

A hot and itchy hunger in the stomach.

Sticky saliva flowing automatically from the mouth.

The heavenly scent is spreading from above those roots.

The radiant fruit must have ripened.

"Kwiiiiiiiiii!"

Insect King Riokku roared.

"Kuoooo!"

And even Silverback Akims.

The monsters started to move.

As the monkeys and insects clashed, sticky fluid splattered and the monkeys' limbs flew into the air.

And the humanoid spider barely exercised self-restraint.

Spiders as big as wild dogs were forming a circle around it.

It prepared the most powerful skill it possessed.

──────────────

[Curse: Eight-Legged Dismemberment]

──────────────

Breaking one leg is equivalent to casting one spell.

It's originally a curse used by breaking all of its own legs.

The humanoid spider substituted it by sacrificing its subordinates one by one.

It crushed the head of the one at the front with its front legs.

Crunch.

"First..."

It was at that moment, as it was about to execute the curse.

Flap flap.

The sound of wings flapping was heard.

Not the sound of an insect, but a bird flying.

Why in a place like this?

When it looked up, a purple-feathered parrot was flying around.

"Spider, spider! Sparkle."

It even talks.

Then it flew up high into the sky.

The spider felt ominous.

Far away.

A big and cool snake, visible even from afar, was looking directly at the spider.

How? Since when?

And why is its mouth open?

Sparkle.

Light gathered in the big snake's mouth.

The humanoid spider realized too late that it was a beam that could turn even a decent monster into ashes.

And that it was condensed and fired at high power without the slightest hesitation.

"Ah... snake."

That was the humanoid spider's last words.

The destruction beam incinerated the humanoid spider and all the surrounding spiders.

「You are receiving shared mana.」

「You are receiving shared mana.」

「You are receiving shared mana.」

「You are receiving shared mana.」

「You are receiving shared mana.」

...

Wow.

「Your level has increased.」

「Your level has increased.」

My level increased by two!

It was a profit beyond my expectations.

No, how did this happen? I was supposed to receive only 1/5 of the share, was a level 63 spider that strong?

Or were its best subordinates quietly gathered in one place?

That's because I only briefly targeted a narrow area to conserve Father's magic power as much as possible.

It was possible thanks to the new parrot sentinel.

"How did you know that guy would betray us?"

'It's a spider, you know.'

"Is that an answer..."

It wasn't groundless spider hate.

The moment I received the inner core, I was convinced that I should strike this spider first.

──────────────

[Cursed Inner Core: Demon Face Tarantula]

──────────────

It's a cursed inner core, you see.

It had placed a curse on it in the meantime.

It's no different from sprinkling capsaicin on the food agreed to be given as payment without saying anything.

It was definitely someone who had to be struck first.

I suddenly took out the inner core again.

Oh!

──────────────

[Inner Core: Demon Face Tarantula]

──────────────

The description has changed.

Maybe the curse was lifted because the one who placed the curse died?

That's good news. I should give this to Father later.

After putting away the inner core, I mounted Mrs. Gorilla.

'Now we join forces with the giant centipede.'

"Let's go!"

My plan was to join forces with the centipede mom while Riokku and the silver chimpanzee were fighting.

"Wait."

Pelerian's voice was urgent.

I turned my head to look at the central root he was pointing at.

The monkeys and insects were fighting brutally.

It was as I expected.

"Not there, up above!"

Oh.

There were golems called guardians at intervals along the root.

A silver monkey was brawling there.

In other words, Silverback Akims was climbing up the root.

Then where's Riokku?

Woong woong!

I thought a helicopter had appeared somewhere.

It was the sound of Riokku flapping its wings.

It took flight.

It was a miracle that it could even lift that heavy body for a moment.

Kuwoong!

And it landed, almost crashing, in the closest area with the most monsters.

"It really is a monster without even a shred of intelligence."

Not all higher species are smart.

But I didn't expect it to be this bad.

As if driven mad by hunger, it tried to devour all the monsters on the ground.

Monkeys, insects, spiders, centipedes...

Oh.
