Chapter 456 - Wake Up, Queen (6)

The center of her body was an apricot color, simultaneously erotic and not at the same time, yet it stirred lewd feelings in men, showcasing her seductive nature.

Also, the spider legs on her lower half was now on her back, growing out like Han-Yeol’s Blood Legs, but while Han-Yeol’s was a skill, this was just Tia’s body. But her legs were much harder, larger, and stronger than Han-Yeol’s Blood Legs, and they could be shortened or lengthened as desired.

And a spider’s round, signature spinneret was attached near her tailbone.

If it were on anyone else, it might have been repulsive, but since she was attractive and sexy, it had a strange naughty look to it that made it even more charming.

Grab!

“Ah!”

She hugged Han-Yeol back. Her voluptuous breasts pressed against human-Yeol's face.

“Ohh!”

If one were to search up ‘height difference between men and women’ in Google images, the only place one’s face would be if a couple with a height difference of twenty centimeters hugged would be their breasts.

“Haha, part of me wants to keep my master locked up here forever, but I’m starting to want to get out of here.”

“Ha! What’s that supposed to mean?”

Han-Yeol didn’t understand what Tia meant. He cocked his head, but Tia attacked him with another hug and called him cute. Tia was probably the only beautiful woman in the world who would call a thirty-year-old man cute.

After getting teased for another ten minutes, Han-Yeol was finally released.

Tia then made her way over to where the civilian crew was gathered.

“Uhh...”

The crew members trembled as they looked at Tia with fear in their eyes. They knew that she was Han-Yeol’s monster pet, and that she wouldn’t harm them, but the overwhelming charisma emanating from her terrified them.

“Hmm, I’ve come this close, but you're still spacing out?”

‘What’s going on?’

[I-I’m not sure...]

Even Karvis, the master of analysis, couldn't understand Tia’s behavior.

“Well it can’t be helped then. If you won’t come out, I’ll have to force you to.”

Shakk!

“Ah!”

“Ahhh!”

“Huh!”

The civilian crew members screamed and Han-Yeol was shocked as he hadn’t expected Tia to attack the crew at all.

However, Stewart wasn’t.

“She moved right away. I thought she’d wait a bit longer.”

“Huh, what do you mean?”

Han-Yeol still couldn’t make sense of Tia’s behavior and what Stewart was saying.

Piiing!

“What?”

He was startled once more by the massive mana increase that followed.

‘Wait a minute, the one Tia just attacked is?’

[It was Ito Chinami.]

‘She’s the only one of the awakened civilian crew members that I didn’t check, right?’

[That’s right.]

“What the hell is going on?’

Han-Yeol could sense that something was going on that he didn’t know about.

Flap!

A moment later, Ito Chinami was nowhere to be seen after Tia attacked her, and a white angel descended, showing off two pairs of wings that emanated a white aura.

‘I-It’s an angel!’

[Demons are not hard to witness because they’re interested in the human world and have an overwhelming fondness for negative emotions, so they're often summoned by humans and manifest themselves through contracts, but angels are different. There are fewer number of them than demons, to begin with. They don’t like to interfere with other dimensions in the first place, so they rarely descend to other worlds. In fact, you can easily find demon summoners, but you can’t find a Hunter who claims to have summoned an angel.]

‘B-But then why did an angel appear before my eyes?’

[I’m not sure.]

Karvis didn’t have much to say about why an angel had appeared in front of him. Karvis was good at analyzing phenomenons, but she was not so good at guessing why that phenomenon happened.

This also didn’t happen out of nowhere—the angel had been hiding in the body of a Japanese stewardess, Ito Chinami, who had been with her all along.

“Hahah, the vicious nature of the celestials never changes even with the passage of time. It was you who brought Master here in the first place, right?”

“What?”

Han-Yeol was shocked at Tia’s statement.

‘It wasn't an accident!?’

[Human, I am Iloa Freiel, a virtue rank among the angels who wield the power of the heavens. First, I commend you for the great courage and valor you’ve shown so far.]

The angel, who introduced herself as Freiel, communicated through telepathy, just like when Han-Yeol first summoned a demon to Earth to make a contract.

The thing that was slightly different from normal telepathy was that it was not the usual one-on-one telepathy, but rather a form of signals that shot out to everyone around him.

“What?”

But that wasn’t important in this situation. Han-Yeol didn’t understand why this angel was suddenly introducing herself and complimenting him. Of course, he understood that this angel had descended and that she had lured him into this trap.

‘But why would this angel do that? For what reason?’

No matter how much he thought about it, he didn’t have any connections to the angel. Sure, he has had many contracts with demons, the opposite race of angels, but as far as Han-Yeol was aware, it wasn’t uncommon for people to make contracts with demons.

Since he wasn’t threatening or destroying the world order, he couldn’t understand why an angel would take interest in him, lure him here, and even approach him directly. Even if Han-Yeol was a Transcendent Master-Rank Hunter, he couldn’t understand demons and angels to the fullest. After all, he was just a human.

“Haha, Master, your confused expression is so cute.”

“Be quiet, Tia.”

“Haha.”

Han-Yeol already had a lot on his mind, but to make matters worse, Tia was annoying him. It was only natural for Han-Yeol to bicker with Tia, and her annoying him was also a common occurrence.

Just then, he wondered what the name of her altered form was.

“Ah, by the way, Tia, I have a question.”

“Hmm, you’ve got an unpleasant angel of virtue right in front of you, and you still have a question? Ah, but if it’s a question regarding this angel you want to rip to shreds, I understand.”

"What the hell? I don't know why that angel appeared in front of me, but that's not what I'm curious about. Frankly, I don't really care about that angel. She looks pale and lifeless like a pigeon, very unattractive!"

“Oh, really?”

“Yes!”

Ha!

Stewart laughed slightly for the first time in his life as a demon lord who had been born from the darkness of the demon world, and had lived for an immeasurably long period of time. This was because Han-Yeol’s disdain for angels, a race far superior to his own, was both hilarious and surprisingly refreshing as a rival demon race.

[...]

However, despite Han-Yeol’s blunt and fierce criticism, the angle of the virtue rank still maintained their unique emotionless expression. Normally, angels were a race that had a good image, with positive traits such as white, pure, and benevolent.

However, Iloa Freiel, an angel of virtue rank, was the epitome of emotionlessness. Of course, she was dazzlingly beautiful as one would expect from an angel, but as Han-Yeol put it, she was lifeless as if she was missing something.

“Haha, so what would my master be so curious about?”

“That’s... Tia, your appearance changed a lot. So does that mean your race has changed as well?”

“Huh? That’s what you were curious about?”

Scratch scratch.

At Tia’s smile, Han-Yeol scratched his cheek with an embarrassed look.

“Well, honestly, I could’ve used my skills to figure it out, but I’d rather hear it from you directly and then witness it with my own eyes.”

Han-Yeol could’ve opened Tia’s status window and checked her race himself, but as far as Tia’s race was concerned, he wanted to hear it from her.

He couldn't understand why he felt this way.

“Hahaha. I’m starting to like you more, Master.”

Shhhh!

Tia’s eyes relaxed slightly, and her skin started to emit pink mana with a strange aura to it.

“Ugh! Don’t get too excited! Your pheromones are coming out!”

“Hahaha.”

It didn’t matter to Tia how Han-Yeol reacted.

“Haha, since you’re so curious, I’ll tell you. The race I’ve evolved to this time is the ultimate evolutionary state of the Arachnid race, the queen of Arachnid. It is a new state that didn’t exist before.”

“What?”

Han-Yeol’s jaw dropped in shock. The fact that she evolved wasn’t a surprise since all races evolved, and the people around him were all capable of evolving as well. Even Mavros was now capable of Mode Transformation II through his first and second awakenings.

Han-Yeol wasn’t surprised about her evolution. It was the fact that Tia had entered a new state that didn’t exist before.

“T-that’s p-possible? How can you evolve to a state that doesn’t exist?”

“Haha, why not? Just do it. There’s that saying in your world’s army that if it doesn’t work, make it work.”

“Uh, that’s not what that saying means...”

She was talking about it easily as if she were digging a hole with a shovel and digging away at a mountain, but this wasn’t possible.

Evolution wasn't like Destiny Draw of friendship from a cartoon movie, where drawing a card and declaring ‘be the main character!’ would magically create a stage that didn't exist. As an average individual who possessed common sense, this notion made no sense whatsoever to Han-Yeol.
