161 ... requires extermination! (1/2)

”Too easy” petting the corpseless head that was in her hands, she could still see the terrified face that spider had. Even now that its eyes had lost the lights inside them, they could no longer see the massacre of its kin happening right in front of it. ”Far too easy.” Crushing what rested between her fingers, she only felt a mild enjoyment.

In all honesty, she had longed for a proper battle, knowing full well now that she no longer had to care about anyone. Everyone that could be considered as close to her was very far away, allowing the wide array of spells she could use to be extended. However, reality caught up, and she only realized that she did not even have a chance to cast something. Even now, the numerous trails of poisons and venoms flying in the air couldn't injure her the slightest.

The vicious screeching that resonated inside the depths of the mountains were so loud, that even the dwarves and ratmen fighting hundreds of meters away could hear it. But since they also had to deal with the spiders, they couldn't really differentiate it from the rest of the sounds produced by their foes. Not even wanting to fight anymore, she casually began to extend the shadows to pick up one specific spider.

As for the unfortunate target, it was ferociously trying to escape the grip of the darkness lingering around its body, but to no avail. Starring at the two white eyes getting closer and closer, its scream turned into an acute sound that would make even the most hardened veteran have goosebumps. Putting her hand on its head, Leilade instantly dispelled its soul, before replacing it by something else.

The lifeless body began to move its legs slowly, then the entire corpse shuddered. Bowing in front of its mistress, the newly created undead waited for its instructions. Glancing at the weakling that was still kneeling, something really hard for a spider, she raised her hand once more, collecting more corpses around her. Now, instead of purely absorbing them, she only collected their souls, leaving their bodies intact.

Creating thin black threads out of nowhere, numerous arms appeared near her, as she began to meticulously tear apart the undead spider. Without any sound signifying it was suffering, her servant observed its body being dismantled, with a large amount of green liquid splashing everywhere. Acting no differently from a tailor, she sewed the dead body parts together, creating a monster nearly two time her size.

Of course, she could have summoned an undead directly, but where would she be able to have fun? Also, she couldn't summon most of the monsters she knew, as the tunnels were not very large anyway. If Ymir had been there, he would have been forced to dig the walls with his hands or be stuck inside the cavern. Starring at her bloodied creation, she could only lament a bit on the inferior goods that was at her disposal.

But it was not over yet, as she began to assemble another one, and another one after it. None were similar, be in shape or in size. But all were far more deadly than the original spiders that were used to be created. As an undead, the poison had no effect on their bodies, while a single bite condemned for sure the one that was injured by it. Faced against a new enemy, she could see many spiders beginning to retreat, while others stood their ground, sacrificing to gave the rest a way to escape.

”Ignorant insects. Trying to run away from me?” With her power rising, she did not feel obliged to be as stingy as she were. Soon, two walls of black flames sealed the two tunnels that were on the other side of the cave. By now, she had already taken control of a third of the room, and none of the passages behind her could be used anymore. Visibly thinking that it was just a trick to fool them, some monsters tried to bypass her flames.

SHRIEK SHEAAAAk

Burning without any possibilities of surviving, none notice the fact that their bodies were not affected. In fact, after they saw one of her undead affected by the flames and be perfectly fine, she could see their movements becoming erratic. Clearly, the Queen behind them had no idea what type of magic Leilade was using. The more she kept claiming their souls, the more she felt the fear of the one they had a mental connection with.

Picking up an injured monster that had been bitten badly, she could see the wound beginning to turn black. Making it turn its head to stare at her directly, she gazed into its eyes, wondering if someone else was watching. ”Their souls. It is burning their souls. And it will burn yours too.” Why the living spiders all died with their body intact when coming in contact with the black flames? And why her undead servants did not even bother reacting to it?

Cleaning this place entirely, she knew that if she told those dwarves about what happened to her, no one would believe her. Not even her spells had done anything to the stone walls, and with the methodical harvest of all the blood and bodies of the spiders, it was ominously clean. Only the extremely strong smell of blood remained, especially since the green liquid was quite smelly.

Waving at the rejects she created on a whim, she saw many had lost more than one limb beginning to move. But unlike their former kin, there were enough head, legs, and mandibles on their bodies to lost ten of them and still be fine. Reaching the tunnels that were still filled with monsters, the undead felt no pity or mercy while they murdered their way in.

Leilade, on the other hand, did not care about whether some survived or not. In the end, everything that was moving in those depths will be destroyed. Also, those undead spiders were really too weak. Floating in a now completely empty tunnel, she kept advancing until she found the familiar spider webs blocking her path completely. Not like in the passages, where there was still some webs here and there but not sealing an opening.
