Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System-Novel

Chapter 461: Moving Out Of The Dungeon

-----

We walked back to the surface after I found the dungeon core and controlled it, turning into the new dungeon master of this place, and leaving the System to handle it out for me for the moment.

However, there was a little problem I had to face before going up, which was rather difficult, or well, it seemed difficult at first glance due to how ridiculous it was.

You see, I had to somehow think of a way to bring Kumo to the surface.

The stairs were too small, she couldn't fit through them and get out.

The dungeon is indestructible, so she cannot get out either by destroying it.

So what could be done?

I could make a teleportation gate and bring her outside through it, wasting all my hard-earned dungeon points which I was saving for later.

Or I could… do this.

FLASH!

I had expanded my shadows beyond my limits and barely fit the massive spider inside of it, barely!

However, I did it!

After that I also had to carry her weight all the way up through my shadows, she was several times heavier than Kuro, so it was a pain, especially after I felt all weakly after going all out before.

Ugh…

But I managed to do it!

"Phew, we are finally outside…" I sighed.

We looked up and it was already night, the other dungeon was still emanating a dark presence, so I wondered if there could be a second spider just like this one… that would be a big pain to deal with. I wonder if I could just throw Kumo down there and make her kill the other. Perhaps they would be equally stronger… or maybe not, Kumo recently evolved after all.

However, summoning Kumo right now would be quite terrible. She's way too big and she could cause a big catastrophe inside. I had to first move outside and bring her out of my shadow.

"Let me go outside for a bit so Kumo can get out of my shadow… I feel like she's about to tear it apart at any moment." I sighed.

"Oh! Alright." Said Miranda.

Everyone decided to follow me at the end, as the entire party was mostly made of my tamed pets/ghosts aside from Miranda, so they inherently liked to follow me anywhere… even Yuki who was now humanoid.

I put my shadows in a fine place with lots of space and then…

"Alright Kumo, come out!"

"GYSHYYY!"

BOOOOM!

The massive spider surged out of nowhere, clashing over the floor and looking at her surroundings. Her massive crimson-red eyes shone brightly with red light. She was completely covered in darkness. Her exoskeleton of hard material was lustrously metallic and pretty, to be honest.

"You're finally out… Watch over the Sect territory for now… alright? Ah, you're draining all our mana. Can you turn that off?" I asked.

"Gyshi!"

Kumo was an intelligent girl, she quickly turned off her [Mana Drain] Ability and the constant draining of our mana finally stopped. It has a short range, but it works amazingly well in dungeons where there is always mana everywhere.

Now, that we were done with her, it was time to go back home.

"Gyyyshy…"

Kumo looked at me with saddened eyes. She seemed to want to spend more time with me.

"You're way too big, Kumo…" I sighed.

"Giiii!"

POOF!

Suddenly, Kumo reduced her size into the same size as Frost, around three meters.

EH?!

"Why didn't you do that from before?!"

"Gishi…"

She shrugged me off!

What! Insolent spider! I should had really just killed you!

No, I am going to squish you up now!

"I am going to squish you into the ground!" I roared. I tried to step on her but she was incredibly hard, and it ended hurting my own foot.

"Ugh…"

And she was also very big too.

"Giishii!"

Kuro licked my face and then she pointed at her abdomen with her legs.

Her eyes shone brightly.

Did she wanted me to take me on a ride?

Well, that's cute.

We all jumped over her abdomen except Kuro and Frost, and we were carried by her back to the sect.

The guards freaked out when they saw a creepy black spider with crimson-red eyes entering the entire territory, so I had to go explaining who she was and what she was to every person we met, which was frustrating and boring to say the least.

But we pulled through like the amazing people we are, after half an hour of explanations to Mikohime and Benladann, until they finally learned everything that occurred.

"Uwah! You should had really brought me there! It must have been so hard! Damn spider, how were you so stubborn?!" asked Benladann, reprimanding Kumo for being alive.

"Come on, Benladann. I am trying to forget this for now and move on… Will you help me out in that regard? I don't want to hate her now that she will become an important and powerful ally." I said.

"Sigh, okay then! Fine…" she sighed.

"Thank you…" I said.

"T-This is rather shocking… A-And you're telling me there were… thousands of these spiders inside the dungeon?! I see… so that's why only there were three survivors… By the gods, if those things got out and had attacked us… we would all be gone by now." Sighed Mikohime.

"Well yes, there's another dungeon too, that one most likely has the same amount of spiders with a big Queen like Kumo." I said.

"Ugh…! T-This is… L-Let me help out this time around, please, Drake! Right, Tsukuyomi?" asked Mikohime.

"Roar!" the Lunar Dragon roared back.

"I guess you can come the next time, although I had planned to throw Kumo down there and leave the work to her with my other tamed pets, but I suppose you can join them… I wasn't going to do it myself because I am exhausted…" I sighed.

"I-I see! Very well then, I am willing to do it myself. I don't see any point in not doing it! I-I will be of more use this time around." Said Mikohime.

I am worried she'll die or something… it would be bad if she died…

Ugh, I better go at the end… but I will postpone this for a few days.
