"Asarashk… That woman, why is she not responding to my telepathy?" The huge body of Arachne sat down over a gigantic throne in the depths of the dungeon's last room. 

The dungeon's last floor was the largest room, connected through a huge corridor to the room where Luck was trapped into, alongside Asarashk.

She had sent Asarashk to finish off the beast kid and weaken him enough so she could do the special ritual while keeping him alive.

After all, the Ritual that Lady Lolth had taught her could only be done if both blessed children were still alive, and it was a power that would grant her their blessings instead!

But for that she needed Luck as well, with Lara alone, things wouldn't work as intended, and the whole ritual might fail altogether.

Two were necessary as pillars for everything to work properly, and she knew it…

"Asarashk…" Arachne gritted her teeth in anger. She wasn't worried about her in the sense of a friend being worried about their friend, no, she was angry that her slave was taking so long. 

Arachne had long ago forgotten about any feelings or emotions that didn't bring her closer to her goals. Friendship or whatever, was of no use. She held over all the insectoid demons that served her thanks to her strength.

To her mind, they were just her slaves who only followed her because she was strong, and because she was of use for their own plans.

Herbranpheles and Divinaphiles were too self-centered, they were merely serving her because she was strong and they needed her power for their own goals.

Arachne knew they would eventually betray her, but she was willing to overlook that in hopes to gain more out of them before she were to eliminate them.

Asarashk and Erphemides were the only truly loyal to her, and she attributed that to having raised them since they were much weaker and younger, much like how Beelzebub picked her up.

"To think I once was like those two slaves…" Arachne sighed. "Beelzebub means nothing to me anymore, a pathetic fly that died stupidly. Why should I even care anymore? I shall follow my own path to greatness…"

The Arachspider glanced at the hanging, spider silk-covered Lara, gently caressing her with her long claw-like nails while smiling.

"Fufu, my ticket to the might of heroes, wait for a bit. I'll make sure to drain you dry…" Arachne smiled. Surrounding her throne there were already several embedded runes creating a huge and complex magic circle.

Using the blood of a hundred innocent weaklings she captured with her swarm, from different villages spread around the Barren Lands of the Continent, she had it all set up.

Even their hundred souls, which were imbued into every rune carefully… Their groans of agony could still be heard… Arachne felt proud of herself, that she had reached so far. 

She felt no guilt about what she did, no regrets, nothing… To her, anything and anybody were just tools for her to step forward, things she could use until they were no longer of use.

Such desires arose from her will to avenge her tribe, who were all killed by humans in the Demon King war… However, for a while now, she had already forgotten about her own tribe.

She didn't even cared about any memories with them, she was now focused on herself, and had lost her original desire to avenge them, to simply wanting enough power to dominate everything.

"I will become the new Demon Queen…" She giggled. "I'll destroy the Human Continent, and then, this one too… Later, I'll make sure that those demons that oppose me have a swift death, and those that join me will become my eternal servants. Later, even the gods will go down before my might. I might… even become a goddess myself!"

She gently caressed Lara, as she giggled.

"Isn't it, little lamb~?" She laughed. "Now-"I think you should take a look at

RUMBLE!

TRUUUMMM…!

"Huh?!"

Arachne's blue bracelet started glowing bright red, sending her messages and signals that something bad was going on in her dungeon! 

She tried to look into the different rooms to find what was happening as her entire dungeon was trembling continuously, only to feel the gates in front of her gain several cracks, shattering into pieces!

CRAAASH!!!

"What?! How come there's someone capable of breaking the dimensional walls of my Dungeon?!" Arachne roared, quickly standing up as she confronted whatever was coming.

SPLAAAASSH...!

However, no person entered, other than tons, and tons of ocean water!

"W-Wha…?!"

Arachne was shaken, stepping back in surprise as the water instantly started filling the entire room! The oceanic water quickly drowned her within, she quickly held her breath, glaring furiously at who had done something so bold!

And then, she saw it! A girl with silver hair, covered on blue scales and holding a huge tail with flippers, which helped her swim across the seas like a torpedo.

"YOU! How come…?!" Arachne roared through her telepathy, quickly trying to get Aquarina with her huge, gigantic hands. She was a true behemoth, her size as big as over fifty meters.

However, she suddenly felt as if the oceanic water started wrapping around her body, inhibiting her movements. Aquarina smiled, as Arachne noticed gills in her neck, they were the gills of a Sea Dragon, allowing the girl to breath underwater indefinitely. 

"GRUUUAAARRGHH…! DAMMIT!!!" Arachne screamed in horror and frustration as she tried her best to reach Aquarina, her magic powers were being disrupted by a strange anti-magical energy that had infected the sea as well, which gathered around her like invisible shackles combined with the sea water.

"I won't let you pass! [Heavenly Ocean Ruler Arts]: [Poseidon's Arms]!" Aquarina roared, gathering the oceans as hundreds of gigantic muscular arms made out of water grabbed Arachne's gigantic body and pushed her down!

BAAAAMMM…!

"URGH! AAAAARRGGHHHH…!"

Arachne roared in frustration, swallowing the water, and drowning herself with utter fury, she couldn't believe a little girl was overpowering her!

As long as it was large body of water, Aquarina's the indisputable queen!

"The lamb…!" Arachne tried to secure Lara, only to realize two figures that had emerged out of Aquarina's shadows grabbed her spider-silk covered body and swam away from her!

"W-Was this all their plan?!" Arachne was left utterly flabbergasted.
