104 Chapter 104: Mio (1/2)

”You wanted to make me your follower?” The Black Spider of Calamity spoke. Usually, be it cultivators or demonic beast from before tried their best to kill it. This is the first time such offer being extended to it.

”More like a friend. You have a unique set of skills though. Not to mention you're much stronger than you look.” Yun Che was impressed with the Spider's fighting skill. Despite being massive, it shows endurance and capabilities more than ordinary divine beast. Moreover, it can control spatial arts.

The spider gave it a thought. For long the spider was stuck in this realm and finally found a worthy opponent. Not to mention this mortal can provide it with the energy it craves so much. ”This is the first time a mortal tried to subdue me. For that, I might consider it.”

He remembered the dragon mention about the spider being a True God existence back then. ”How could a spider like you ended up in this realm?”

”I don't remember. All I could think about is my next meal.”

He sweat dropped hearing the spider's response. ”No wonder the Azure Dragon threw you in here.”

”However, meeting you mortal was the best thing ever happened to me. For the first time, I am truly satisfied with my meal.”

Yun Che sweat dropped again before saying ”Well, using my energy as nourishment wasn't part of a plan. As long as you're satisfied. That's all matters now.”

”One more thing….” As the spider said that, it caught Yun Che off guard by spraying its mouth webs towards him and bind him on the spot.

”Ehh?!? What is this?!?!” He struggled to free himself from the bind but it was in vain as the spider immediately pulled him to its mouth.

”You're mine!!! I was right. You're so delicious. The most perfect meal ever!!! I am never letting you go. We'll be together forever!!!” The spider continued to rub him to its fangs like a person who just found his perfect partner. It was kind of creepy for spider to do that.

”Oi..oi.. Stop this at once!!!” His pleas were silenced by the spiders perverted words against him. It didn't do anything 'drastic' but simply rub him on its head. What he noticed that, the spider's wounds slowly regenerate itself and its missing limbs were regrown. He took it that the spider lost a lot of energy doing that constant High Speed Regeneration. Then, something struck his mind. ”Wait… did this thing use me as a meal right now?”

[Ding… Detected drainage in host's Spirit Force points.]

”What the…this thing... using me as it please. Wait…” Yun Che's face suddenly went evil as he pressed his free hand on the spider's head.

”Wanted to use me as a meal huh? Let me feed you as much as you want.” He smiled sinisterly as he pours as much energy as he can into the spider. This time he did it willingly.

”You're giving me your energy? Choosing you was the best decision ever.” The spider said with a satisfied grunt.

”Ohh, It will be..” He said keep channeling the energy into the spider. After feeding it for a while, a notification pops in his head.

[Ding… The Spider of Calamity leveled up to Level 93 due to the host's unique energy.]

”Fuuaahhh… That's enough. I haven't feel this full in years.” The spider stopped absorbing Yun Che's energy but he didn't stop the channeling. He even put some more to into it. Even more.

He grin sinisterly before popping another vial to restore his energy.”Ohh… don't be shy.. take some more.”

Seeing the energy was too much to be digest, it suddenly yell ”No..stop… this is too much. Stop!!!”

”I thought you haven't eaten in years. Take some more. I insist.” He sinisterly said while channeling more and more energy into the spider causing it to bloat.

”No..no.. Please stop.. This is too much!!! Too much!!!” Unable to take it anymore, the spider suddenly fell to the ground with foam forming in its mouth. With that, the web around Yun Che's body was weaken considerably and he was able to break free. He gave it a thought just now. If he fights the spider again, it just going to grow excited so he decided to feed it while replenishing his energy. If he doesn't care about it, this spider would be dead after eating too much of his energy. This is what they say, biting more than it could chew. In the end he didn't kill it.

[Ding… Congratulation in defeating the 100000th beast: Level 93: The Black Spider of Calamity.]

[Ding.. Host has passed the Second Trial.]

Then, a crystal fragment slowly fell from the sky and floats slowly in front of him.

[Ding… Host has obtained the Second Fragment of the Dragon God Crystal.]

[Ding... 2/3 crystal fragment obtained. One more to go.]

”Yosshaa!! One more and I'll have that inheritance.” He didn't go back to the tower but he sat down in front of the spider waiting for it to wake up. It was a despicable method of defeating it but seeing its capabilities of leveling up using his energy, he decided this spider is worth keeping. Besides, this thing is a monarch level spider. At least he had a monarch backer for now.

Then, he heard a grunt from the spider indicating it was slowly waking up. The moment it regained consciousness, the first thing it saw was Yun Che's grin in front of its eight glowing eyes.

”Sup?” He casually spoke.

”You!!!” The spider immediately got back up and stay away from him. Looks like the weakness was its obsession on eating his energy and Yun Che used the obsession against it.

”Now…now... I hope we learn a lesson of catching an opponent off guard. You grew stronger each time we fought but your weakness is you can't handle more than you can chew. So, the only way to destroy you is to feed you with as much energy as possible. So, if you're still hungry because I have plenty more in here.” He said while raising his hand and making it glow with Spirit Force.

”No…No… I don't need it anymore. Please... No...” The spider begged while slowly moving itself away from him. If Yun Che wanted to kill it, he can just inject more and more of his Spirit Force until it exploded. Something even the High Speed Regeneration can't fix.

Seeing the spider shooting him with eyes of fear, he suddenly smile and said ”Don't worry. Just messing with you. If you want me to feed you. All you have to do just ask nicely. Don't suddenly bind me just like that. Unless you won't mind me filling you up just like this again.”

Then he continued, ”So what is your answer? Are you still willing to follow me?”

”Even after all of that, you still wanted me to follow you?”

”Yes, part of me wanted your strong webs actually but I wanted you as a friend though.”

”My webs?”

”Yeah, a monarch level spider can produce webs strong enough to make sturdy clothes.” He spoke with glittering eyes. Shirayuki and Kuroyuki would be delighted to have more stronger materials to make clothes. Something can be used by Retsu and Nemu into battles with having them destroyed if things go south.

The spider sigh before responded ”You.. If you willing to feed me with your energy, I'll be willing to trade more of my webs to you. Besides, for thousands of years I've been living in here. No food and company. If its better than living in here, I'll be more than willing to follow you.”

Seeing the spider willingness to follow him, he was relieved. If not, he was willing to released it back into the world. ”Then, how do we form a contact?”

”I am sorry, I never form a contract with anyone before.”

Yun Che sighs as the contacts compared to his previous adventures were different. This is a Divine Beast or Profound Beast. He didn't know anything about forming a spirit bond with them. As he was pondering, a notification sounded in his mind.

[Ding… The system can help you with that.]

”Ehh, how?” Yun Che was shock seeing this development.

[Ding.. forming a contact with the beast is simply binding the beast to the system. When the beast is bound by the system, it possessed the same privilege as host's summoned companions. However, this spider has a unique way of levelling up but it can also use the same methods as host's companion.]

[If the beast bound by the system, host can choose the appearance of the beast. Regardless of gender or race. Currently, host can only bind one beast. Best to choose carefully.]

When he saw this notification, he suddenly sweat dropped. There's no way he wanted the spider being a male. Imagine a male looking at him with hungry eyes when it comes to meal time. He rather kills it before killing himself for making it look like that. Then again, he can shape it into anyone he wants as the human form for the spider. Too bad he can only bind one but it's for the best. It'll allow him to choose the best of the best out of the beasts as his follower. Wouldn't want a weaker beast ended up as his follower.

Making his resolve, he slowly said ”System, how do I begin the contact?”

[Ding.. Place the host's hand on the beast's head and allow the system to tap into its head. Then, the system will reshape the beast into a human form depending on the host's criteria and desire. How can choose a template for the human form.]

Seeing the system was ready, Yun Che asked the spider again. ”So, Spider of Calamity? Are you willing to serve me as a friend?”

The spider was quiet for a moment then it suddenly responded ”My clan cease to exist thousands and thousands of years ago. I have long forgotten what it meant to have a wonderful family ever since I am trapped in this realm. I am more willing into serving you. Master.”

Yun Che raised his hand to the spider and said ”Uhh, please don't call me master. It's a little bit cringe. Just Yun Che will do.”

”Is it not to your liking? What about young master?”

”No..no.. just Yun Che will do.”

”Then, by your will. I shall serve as your friend and companion from now on. Master Yun Che.” The spider slowly bows its head to him.

”Like I say, just Yun Che.” He sighs before explaining the contact method to the spider. As it heard from him, it suddenly grew curious on the hidden power in his body. Which Yun Che explained to it by transfering the knowledge through his Sharingan.

After digesting the information, the spider nod in understanding.”I never had my own human form. If my master shapes how I look then please shape me according to your desire, master. Someone strong should be fitting when serving you in the future.” The spider slowly said before lowering its head to him.

”Well, here goes.” He placed his hand on its head once more before closing his eyes. All of a sudden, he was transported to his inner world. His real inner world. The world with endless sky and calm sea. Then, a feature started appearing before him. This feature is just like those RPG games where players can create their own avatar regardless gender or race.

”So, how should I shaped her?” He said while playing around with the feature. So many possibilities but he didn't want to choose at random just like that. This beast is the Spider of Calamity. Choosing a random girl from an anime will not be wise. Then, he suddenly had an idea. The Spider of Calamity rings a bell somewhere in his head. He read about this thing in a manga before. The spider could change into a human but its human form was really beautiful.

”Then, I'll choose her. That girl's personality, looks and style really match the spider's personality.” He immediately transfers the girl's image from his mind to the feature and observe her. The system's feature slowly formed her face, clothing and her alluring figure. He admits that she looked even more beautiful compared to the manga.

Seeing this girl, he spoke ”She's perfect. System, transfer the form into the spider. Also, can you transfer the Japanese language and culture into her?”

[Ding... Form accepted. Beginning to shape The Spider of Calamity's human form.]

Suddenly, bright lights and smoke suddenly covered the spider as Yun Che beginning to shaped its human form.

”What now?” Jasmine wondered seeing the direction of the bright light. This guy had been shining either figuratively or literally in this trial. Whatever he planned right now, she didn't have the energy to feel shocked anymore. As the light dies down, Jasmine and the Azure Dragon widen their eyes looking at the current situation.

As for Yun Che, the moment he opened his eyes. What greeted him was a woman suddenly came out from the cloud of smoke and saying a few words.

”I will serve you for life, Yun Che.”

When the woman came down from the lights and cloud of smoke, she slowly kneeled herself to the ground and bowing her head towards him. When he sees her closely, it looked exactly like he imagined. The girl in front of him had beautiful yellow eyes as well as black silky hair. A cute nose and a beautiful smile as well as white silky skin. However, her hair was not as long as Retsu or Nemu's hair. Her hair just a short cut until below her ears and she wore red headband knot in bloom with a butterfly on it. Moreover, she wears a luxurious black and red kimono in the form of a stylish yukata, further the handle has white frills. She also wear a pair of black gloves covering her delicate hands. Furthermore, the hakama underneath her kimono resembles more like spider web pattern resembles her alternate self or true form. When he looked at her, he refused to believe that this girl was once the perverted spider tried to harm him.

Raising her head and staring at him with her yellow eyes. ”Yun Che, I thanked you for giving me a meal of a lifetime as well as allowing me to live a life under your care. For the first time in my life, I am truly satisfied. From now on, please take good care of me.” She bows her head like a wife introducing herself to her future husband. Her personality is more of a timid and soft spoken girl. Way opposite of her perverted spider form.

Yun Che regained his composure before bowing as well. ”Umm, please take good care of me as well. Ummm, do you have a name?”

The woman then lowers her head before saying ”I never actually had a true name before. I was used being called 'The Black Spider of Calamity'. For a long time, I longed for a true name.”

”Then, why don't I give you a name? Since you're a part of my family now. Why don't I give you a cute name?” Yun Che suggested.

The woman looked at him with widen eyes and said ”Family? Yun Che, I am just a servant. There's no way…”

”No, every companion is my family. I couldn't treat you as servant. You might creep me out at the first time but now. You are bound to me and anyone bound to me is a family.”

The girl slowly tearing up and said ”Family, *Sniff. I never had one even in my life as a spider. You're the first one ever called me a family.”

Yun Che kneeled as well before patting her shoulder. ”There..there.. And I actually thought a name for you. A spider girl as well as loyal and also beautiful. From now on, Your name will be 'Mio'. 'Mi' in terms of beautiful and 'o' is the terms of your spider thread. Combining it means beautiful spider thread.”

”Mio, then I shall humbly accept as Mio from now on. I shall devote my entire life serving you my lord.” She said while hiding her healthy blush.

”Please stop that, Yun Che will do. If you preferred, you can call me Yuuki as well. That's an order.”

”Oh my, an order?” She said while shivering excitedly making Yun Che a little bit uncomfortable. Looks like this girl still retains her perverted antics.

Then, she continued ”Yuuki? As in snow?” Yun Che knew the system uploaded the Japanese language and culture into her head when she turned into a human. Making her spoke with natural phase as if the knowledge was implemented inside her head from a long time ago. Besides, he was comfortable having another one to talk in his own language.

”Yeah, it's my real name though. Yun Che is just my alternate name.”

”Bestowed a name by the master as well as given his real name. Does this mean master trust me with his life? Is this mean you trust me as a spouse? My…Yuuki.. Yun Che.. you such a bold man.” She said while slowly daydreaming with her radiating smile.

He smacked his head seeing her antics and said ”That's not it. Mio, are you even listening?”

Mio snapped out of her trance and said ”Did you say something, Danna-sama?”

Yun Che feeling stumped seeing her behavior all of a sudden and said ”She even changed how she address me. Never mind. As long as she's happy then I have no quells with this.” He sighs seeing her daydreaming of her future with him.

”Ahh, being fed by Danna-sama energy. I won't refuse you if you wish to make a move on me in the future. Danna-sama.” She said while slowly showing her alluring figure to him.

”Hai...hai.. Stop your daydreaming. You escalated things too far.” He sighs again. Wonder how Retsu will take this? He's really sure Retsu will scold him later on.

[Ding… Congratulation host for obtaining a Level 93 Black Spider of Calamity: Mio as a companion.]
