Chapter 36 - 36
Without thinking twice, Nero threw the magic shadow ball in the direction of the spider.
*Boom!*
She missed the target again as the ball landed in front of the spider, which immediately jumped back. Without knowing why, the spider jumped back. Even if her throw had hit the ground, Nero created two more balls with dark mana in each hand and flung them in the direction of the spider.
*Swoosh!* *Swoosh!*
This time, Nero managed to throw the ball a little faster, thus producing a sharp wind sound, but still, one of them missed the target.
Nero commanded her two domesticated monsters to attack as well.
When the second ball hit two of the giant spider's left front legs, it staggered, its legs looking almost like spaghetti as it collapsed to the ground.
The spider that was fumbling around without being able to walk straight, spat out poison in the direction of Luna as she ran towards it, but Luna was quick to dodge and bit the front leg and ripped it out as she pulled.
The Slime slowly crawled until it was close to the spider, and spit acid in the direction of the spider, hitting the spider's stomach. Nero, seeing that the acid still didn't kill the spider, threw another dark mana ball in the spider's direction.

[You defeated the Insect Monster: [Giant Spider] Rank F: Level 5.]

"Phew ~"
Nero let out a long breath. This was more complicated than the other times. Unlike when she used a bow, the ball created through dark mana was not as easy to control as she thought it would be.
Approaching the spider she just killed, she put her hand on the spider that had a big wound on its back.

Would you like to plunder the Insect Monster: [Giant Spider] Rank F: Level 5?

*[Yes]*

1 [Panacea F - medium quality] has been added to your inventory.
63 [Essence Currency] have been added to your inventory.

'Panacea, this is good.' Nero thought. She has already looked at the information for this item, and she knew that it could cure the following abnormal statuses: blindness, curse, and poisoning.
Jana, who saw that Nero had already finished killing another spider alone, smiled. She realized it was the right decision to have Nero fight by herself since the rest of them hadn't finished fighting the other 3 spiders yet. Although one of those spiders was at level 6, that was no excuse.
When Nero approached the level 6 spider she had killed earlier, she put her hand on top of this spider as well and used plunder.

Would you like to plunder the Insect Monster: [Giant Spider] Rank F: Level 6?

*[Yes]*

1 [Panacea F - medium quality] has been added to your inventory.
109 [Essence Currency] have been added to your inventory.

'Oh? My luck is not so bad,' she thought when she saw that she again got [Panacea].
'Hm, they killed their three spiders.' Not far from her, Nero realized that Jana, Jair, and Breno were using plunder on three spiders.
Choko looked in the direction of Nero who was alone. She clenched her fists and a determination to strengthen shone in her beautiful eyes.
'Now only monsters of level 5 or more are appearing. There is no point waiting; I will level up now.' With that in mind, Nero waited for Choko, Jana, Jair, and Breno to start attacking. When this happened, she first removed the 5 level 4 monster cores from her inventory.
_ _
Absorb the [Monster Core] Yes / No?
_ _
'Yes,' she said mentally.

_ _
She closed her eyes and felt the power within her body increase. With increased strength, she could feel all the tiredness she had leaving her.
'Okay, now that I know that the points I was supposed to gain from attributes have turned into extra points, I'll be able to level up now.' Nero made her decision as she picked up another 5 level 5 monster cores.

Nero sat on the floor with her legs crossed, trying to digest everything that had changed in her body.
When Choko, Jana, Jair, and Breno looked at her moments later, they just thought that she was meditating to recover her mana.
"She seems to be recovering her spent mana. We will continue to kill in the meantime," said Jair.
"Hrm, that's right. If it continues like this, we will not be able to keep pace with her. We need to try harder!" Breno, who usually spoke little, said an entire sentence in a firm tone.
Choko and Jana nodded in agreement.
Although they said this, they were not fools and didn't plan to recklessly attack groups of spiders. They only increase the number of spiders they would attack at a time by 1. Of course, this still made a large difference.
Very quickly, Jana threw four separate fireballs at a group of four level 5 spiders. Jair, Breno and Choko were already waiting for this and advanced to attack the spiders while Jana supported them.
Jair slashed with his sword, while Breno used his spear to break the spider's two legs. Choko used her great speed, taking advantage of the spider's being stunned, and attacked its head, killing it by crushing the spider's head with a punch.
*Boom!*
A spear of fire in the shape of a drill hit the spider that was about to attack Choko from behind, while Breno and Jair intercepted the other spider.
The spider that was hit by the flame drill raised its front legs and tried to attack Choko with them. However, Choko, with great speed, reached below the spider, crouched down, and then immediately shot up with a punch from the bottom up (Roriugui).
*Poow!*
In the air the spider began to spin. Breno, who saw this, kicked off the ground and attacked with his spear towards the sky against a spider.
*Cut!*
The sound of the spider's skin tearing was heard and blue blood flowed from the wound. Breno made a gesture of hammering and the tip of his spear caught the spider and slammed it into the ground.
*Booom!*
Crushed on the ground, the spider squirmed a little before it stopped moving.
