Chapter 108- Spider Queen (Part 2)

'What is with this human… His presence completely changed.' The Spider Queen felt its body freeze for a second when it gazed at Kai's eyes.

It didn't understand where this sudden change came from. It was as if the boy's whole aura completely shifted to become something else.

His purple eyes were akin to two deep black holes that would suck anything into them. However, instead of their charming trait, his eyes now were terrifying and deathly cold.

That's when, for the first time in its whole lifespan, the Spider Queen felt something other than pride in its higher existence. It felt fear… a deep, bone-chilling fear that threatened to take over its body and consume its mind.

'No! What the hell is wrong with me? This queen won't feel fear from a puny human!! It's impossible!' Scratching that thought from its head, the Spider Queen glared at Kai menacingly, trying to hide its fear behind a veil of arrogance.

"Are you that much of a fool to get rid of your sword in this fight? Do you want this queen to give you a quick death? Sadly for you, you angered me too much. You shall feel pai- BLUUUURGH!!" Before the Spider Queen could even finish its sentence, its mouth spat out a huge mouthful of disgusting orange blood.

Its eyes widened to the extreme as it looked down slowly, disbelief colored all over her face.

"Your voice is annoying. Shut up." Kai's cold voice penetrated its ears and sent a chill down its spine as if it was suddenly submerged in a sea of ice. His fist was planted into the Spider Queen's stomach.

'When did he… Blurgh!!'

Kai's other fist quickly followed suit and punch the Queen in the stomach. The hit was akin to getting its Organs ruptured again and again.

"Y-You bastar-"

*BOOOOM*

Jumping in the air, Kai kicked the monster in the face, sending it flying to the side as it left a long trail of blood behind it.

The Queen smashed against the stone walls of the cave, shaking it violently. Cracks appeared all around where it fell.

'Faster… He's way faster than before… What is happening?' The Queen couldn't understand why this human had suddenly become exponentially faster.

It was as if he was a different person. What did change about him in the few seconds after the Queen's acid hit him?

"I don't know what you are or what you want to do. But, I shall only ask you a few questions and if you answer me truthfully, I won't torture you. Do you accept?" Kai asked as he cracked his neck, ready to obliterate the Spider Queen the moment she refuses.

"U-Ugh!! Don't get cocky!! I'm The Queen! A Higher Existence than you mere humans!!" Exploding in anger, the Queen's aura flared even harder as it spat out countless bullets of web.

This was the Queen's strongest attack. Raining down extremely resilient web bullets on its opponent would instantly destroy them without any exceptions. It was the Queen's trump card.

With a cold expression, Kai stared at the endless bullets coming his way. These things were stronger than Anti-Origin bullets by a huge margin so many of them could indeed inflict some damage on him.

'Should I try that? Well, I didn't use it in a while so I might as well try it on this thing.' He thought as he suddenly stepped forward.

"Cosmic Step." Murmuring those words, Kai took the next step casually.

'Hahahaha! Die you piece of shit!!' The Queen celebrated in its head after seeing Kai not dodge that attack, not that it thought he had any chance of doing that.

However, the next second, its celebrations were cut short as its vision was suddenly obstructed by something.

Looking up slowly, not comprehending what suddenly appeared in front of it.

"You aren't as strong as you think you are. I don't get where this idiotic confidence that you're the strongest comes from. There is no pinnacle in this world. If you're unlucky enough, you might come across someone that will teach you how to be humble. And you, Queen, had that fate happen to you today." Kai said coldly with a merciless tone.

"Wha-" Before it could even say a word, the Queen felt extreme pain in its stomach. Blood started trickling down from its disgusting purplish lips.

'Blood… Why am I bleeding again…'

Then, in a split second, it happened. Its stomach visibly twisted before it suddenly exploded, dying the whole wall behind it in a disgusting orange color mixed with bits and pieces of organs. A huge, gaping hole appeared in its abdomen that was big enough to fit a human head.

"BLUUUURGH!!!" Vomiting a horrifying amount of blood, the Queen fell to the ground, motionless. It couldn't even react in time.

'He didn't even… attack me… How did he do this?'

"I did hit you." Reading what was on the monster's mind, Kai replied. "You just didn't see it."

'Cosmic step is still hard to use freely. Tsk… Did I grow rusty? Or maybe…' Recalling his sickness, Kai understood that he can't simply use his talents as efficiently as before. He could feel his body react weirdly to him using this talent out of nowhere.

But, he didn't linger on such thoughts as he bent down and grabbed the monster by its long hair before he started dragging it.

Then, he threw it against the other wall.

"You have exactly 2 minutes to live. I can extend that to 5 hours if you don't give me the answers I want. For each question left unanswered, I will increase your pain by ten folds." He explained as he sat down on a protruding rock before he gazed at the still paralyzed monster.

"... I…" Trying the speak, the monster only spat another mouthful of blood.

"I will take that as a yes." Resting his chin on his hand, he continued. "First question: Are you from this world?"

The monster looked at him before it shook its head. Although he expected this answer, Kai could only frown. Just the fact that another world existed was already ridiculous let alone to see a kind of creature that live in it.

'Was that octopus also from another world?'

"Explain what this world is. Where it is exactly? Is it another planet? Another dimension?"

"No… It's around…"

The monster shook its head as if it was saying that Kai's assumptions were wrong. But, as it tried to open its mouth. Its head suddenly exploded out of nowhere, surprising Kai.

Brain matter and skull pieces scattered everywhere under his cold, frowning gaze. Standing up, he approached the now-dead monster and looked at its destroyed corpse with a thoughtful gaze.

'What the hell? Why did it suddenly self-destruct? No, it wasn't self-destruction… I felt a small amount of Origin coming from the monster before it died…'

That minuscule amount of Origin wasn't that concerning but when Kai thought about it, it was indeed odd. The origin that he felt didn't originate from its main seal as it should've but came from deep within its heart. That should've been impossible for the human anatomy.

"Nothing makes sense." Running his hand through his head, Kai felt a slight headache just thinking about what happened.

This journey to the Frozen Plains was by far the most eventful thing that ever happened to him. The sheer bizarre occurrences he came across were horrifying. He would've not been surprised if all of this was a stupid prank from how absurd it was.

A few hours ago, he didn't even know that fantasy monsters existed in his world and now he will have to somehow live with that fact rooted in his head.

What the hell is going on?!
