Custom Made Demon King

Chapter 11: Getting Into Big Trouble

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Large and small spiderwebs intertwined messily between trees, turning this area into a small labyrinth.

In this labyrinth, any form of panic would bring him straight into the spiderwebs. Once he was stuck on these extremely adhesive spiderwebs, he would be unable to break free.

At the same time, the struggle would attract the spiders lurking in the dark. They would first spray a dissolving toxin onto their prey and then wait a while for the prey to completely dissolve into a pile of goo before calmly enjoying them.

Roy had observed the process of their predation before. He also knew that there was a cluster of spiders and that they were social creatures. Once a spider appeared, a group of them might be near.

Through observation, Roy found that these spider demons could only be regarded as ordinary monsters. Their intelligence was not high, and their living habits were rather fixed. Other than their numbers, they were not that difficult to deal with for Roy.

He held the Colt Python in his right hand and picked up a long branch from the ground with his left hand. When he came to a spiderweb, he used the branch to poke and shake it, simulating the effect of an entangled prey.

Before long, a spider demon the size of a millstone appeared quietly from a tree. Since it was a monster, its size was naturally not comparable to that of ordinary spiders. Its strange patterns and hair made it look extremely hideous and ugly. It climbed onto tree trunks with its hooked limbs and made rustling sounds. Its huge swollen belly and the numerous black eyes on its forehead made it look creepy even though Roy knew it had poor eyesight.

These spider demons were quite cunning. They would usually judge the size of their prey by the vibrations that traveled through the spiderweb. If the vibration was strong, it meant that the prey was large and not to be messed with. Moreover, there was a possibility of it breaking free from the spiderweb. In such a situation, they would not show up. However, if the vibration was relatively weak, it meant that the prey was not too big and unlikely to struggle free from the spiderweb. Such prey could be slaughtered.

The vibration that Roy made through the branch was naturally incomparable to the vibrations of real entangled prey. So although the spider demon appeared, it was puzzled and did not immediately crawl to the web.

However, Roy only needed it to appear. Once it appeared in his line of sight, Roy raised the Colt in his hand, took aim, and shot!

Boom! The giant body of the spider demon was an easy target. Roy’s shot hit its head directly, punching a big hole in it. The spider demon hissed painfully and fell from the tree.

However, it did not die immediately. Its entire body and limbs were still twitching and trembling. Roy stepped forward and stood in front of the spider demon. He raised his tail and punctured the place where he shot it as fast as lightning. He stirred around and turned the spider demon’s brain into mush.

The limbs of this spider demon contracted, and it died completely. A tiny soul emerged from its body, and Roy grabbed it.

If the soul of the four-eyed demon was as big as a table tennis ball, then the soul of this spider demon was only as big as a soybean. It was even smaller than those of the monsters that Roy had caught.

Roy could not figure out what was going on, but he still put that soul away.

After storing it away, the description of this soul given by the system interface was: low-quality soul fragments (1)!

Not a soul, but a soul fragment? Roy was a little stunned. What does that mean?

No one could give him an explanation. He pushed that thought aside with doubts in his mind and turned to walk toward another spiderweb.

Every spiderweb had a spider demon lying in wait. These spider demons would not go into each other’s areas, so there was no threat once he resolved the spider demon lying in wait. Roy’s original plan was to burn these spiderwebs, but then he thought of how these spiderwebs without their spider demons might help him block intruders from breaking into his cave. He could use them as security, so he left them.

As long as he could clean up all the spider demons, the spiderwebs they left behind could become protective barriers for his cave. This was the only contribution they could provide to him.

With this in mind, Roy started to clean up every spiderweb that appeared in his line of sight. He would first lure the spider demons with the vibrations and then shoot them down with his gun. This cleaning process actually turned out to be rather easy.

However, later on, he realized that it was too much of a waste of his bullets. As such, he looked around and found an insect monster that was just entangled in a spiderweb.

This insect monster looked like a big beetle. After it was entangled, the spider demon guarding that spiderweb appeared in no time and climbed onto the spiderweb without hesitation.

At that moment, Roy, who had been standing below and waiting, swung his tail. The triangular blade tail directly penetrated the spider demon’s head before it could bite into that insect monster.

Roy’s modification to his body was wise, and this strange-looking tail displayed its great killing efficiency. There was no need to waste his bullets, frugal and environmentally friendly!

After killing the spider demon, Roy extended his tail, opened the triangular blade, gently grabbed the beetle, and pulled it off the spiderweb.

This beetle monster did not possess much intelligence, so it did not appreciate Roy’s help of pulling it out of danger at all. When Roy’s tail grabbed it, it actually opened its mouth to bite his tail, acting rather fierce.

However, was it possible for it to bite through Roy’s tail? Glancing at it coldly, Roy grabbed it with his tail, walked to another spiderweb, and then flicked it hard, throwing the beetle onto another spiderweb.

The beetle began to struggle again. Soon, the spider demon guarding this spiderweb appeared...

Roy’s baiting plan using this beetle monster was a success, and he successively solved dozens of spider demons this way. Roy only killed the beetle monster with his tail when it no longer had the strength to continue struggling, and he stored this little soul with a grin.

The souls from the spider demons were all soul fragments without exception...

The harvested souls of this massacre were, in fact, very pitiful. Not only was the quality low, but they were also very small.

Just as Roy was feeling depressed about his harvest, he found the light above his head being blocked by something, and a huge shadow appeared on the ground.

At the same time, a voice came. “Caught you! You mean little bug!!”

This voice was strange. It clearly sounded very strange to his ears, but Roy could fully understand the meaning it conveyed.

It was as though... the voice seemed to be acting directly on his soul!

What was even weirder was that Roy immediately understood what was going on when he heard the voice.

This is... the demon language?!

Roy’s response was not slow even though he was stunned. He kicked the ground violently and somersaulted, rolling out of the range of the shadow!

Boom! The place where he just stood was immediately attacked just as he rolled away. A huge black shadow with an unparalleled momentum directly hit the ground.

A large amount of black mud splashed around, and a pit appeared in the ground. Roy climbed up and saw the attacker’s appearance clearly.

It was a bigger... spider demon! However, unlike the spider demons he had killed earlier, what he was facing now was a half-human, half-spider female spider demon!

The lower part of her waist was a large spider abdomen, and her upper body was humanoid, naked but covered with the hair of the spider, which prevented any thoughts of temptation. She had many eyes on the top of her head, and a tong-like tongue slipped out. Only the pair of curved demon horns on her head showed her demon status.

Coupled with the eight limbs on both sides of her body, her entire body stood like a tank in front of Roy.

Looking at the half-human, half-spider thing in front of him, Roy could not help but suck in a cold breath. He knew he was in deep shit!

Judging from the size of his opponent, it was probably an adult demon and at least at the top of the low rank. It was unknown if it had advanced to a middle-rank demon...

Roy finally understood why he had only obtained soul fragments after killing those spider demons. The reason was simple. Those spider demons could only be regarded as clones of the spider queen in front of him! The reason why they lived in clusters was not because of their biological habits but because they were simply tools for the spider queen!

The spider queen sensed it when those soul fragments started disappearing during Roy’s hunt, so she found Roy through them and came to kill him!
