POV MC

After two hours of rest I was ready to begin heading to the plains. If I waited even longer than I needed too it might gain a larger horde than I could handle. If it becomes too much for me to handle, I may need to run until daytime arrives. They only have large numbers and aren't very strong. I hope that the Hive mind is stupid if not I may have a very hard time.

I ate some more food while packing up the shed but leaving the stone slab on top of the hill top. Taking out a few skulls that I had left over I threw them out towards the bottom of the hill. Freeing up some space in the tattoo.

Then started to make my way to the plains.

POV Spider

I found where the chosen was after some searching through the dark trees. The chosen had picked a big hill to live on where there was no hiding place like the forest or caves. Mother's chosen is truly wise and powerful to live out in the open like this, to display how very little they fear others. Do they have no fear out all? Truly wonderful.

They saw me and even threw me more food 17 severed heads. Does he wish to feed all of us with this generous gift? They are leaving the hill now and not heading to the pond but to the plains instead why? What will happen if I follow the chosen? First I need to feed the others then I can go there and see what they are doing?

I began to web up the heads and call for all the monsters who I lead to help carry the food back to the nest for the younger ones. I need to hurry to be able to catch up the chosen. I might what to bring a few with me to have them learn from watching what they might be doing.

A few minutes past while waiting there to protect the food what is taking them so long to get here, I'll need to train them better, so that they are faster to responding to calls. 15 minutes later they finally arrived. It is hard to communicate to monsters who aren't spiders. I just wish I could talk to others as the chosen does even if they are still tier 1. I began gesturing around with my limbs to get the Darklings to understand what I wanted them to do. After 50 minutes wasted we were finally able to get back to the nest with the food. Grabbing the smarter followers I had them follow me to the plains to see what was happening. One Darkling, 2 Rot Fanglings, 1 Rusthorn Void Spawn and 1 Hollow Kit followed me after they saw the food. It will take a while to get there because we are closer to the pond them the plains hopefully we can get there in time to see what is going on.

POV MC

Time passed quite slower than usually was it because I was excited to be fighting again or something else? “I hope that nothing interrupts me tonight. It is time to slaughter the corrupted and kill this infection at the source.” I said smiling like a freak showing off the row of sharpened teeth. Tonight will be a special night I can just feel it in my bones.

Running I felt my mind focus harder than I had ever before. I was able to dodge out of the way of anything that might trip or slow me down.

I made it to the plains just as light in the sky signaling day time started to vanish, being replaced with darker shades of color which was beautiful to watch. Now is the time to fight not to get distracted by the color of the sky.

It took some time before I heard the first noise of mass marching heading this way. I could feel my blood boil the closer the sound got, but I kept in control of myself this time.

I could see the outline of them now as they breached the treeline further south from my current location. It was saddening that they gave so little exp because there was quite a lot of them present. The Hive Mind must have guessed that I would have returned sooner than later, or it was tipped off to me coming back here. Maybe it's god told it and gave it a quest to kill me. That wouldn't surprise me seeing at how may are coming for me right now.

From my position I saw at least a hundred of the things. A horde to swarm me with numbers like I guessed. There was one that was bigger in the back, but there was only one of them. Taint Fighter Lv 2 Tier 2. Well fuck me it does want me dead after all. That's one big fucker all right. It was 5ft (1.52 m) tall and covered in thick muscles but not like a Vit based monster more like a Str one. Vit was more solid this one was bulging and flexing nonstop. Probably a big hitter from seeing it bone axe it had. It looked the same as the others just bigger and stronger. Why was it in the back instead of the front?

Fuck me it is smarter than I thought it was. I laughed while pointing at them, it had got me here making me it was stupid. I scanned the swarm for any more surprises that it might have for me. I saw a few Taint Spawns not holding bone spears but balls of something black and melting? It looked like something I should know. My danger senses went off when looking at it but not a strong feeling though. Need to keep those away from me.

In just a few minutes we would be in range of each other. I stretched myself while moving towards them as they came.

The distance slowly shortened until they started to throw spears while the big one threw stones at me. It was easy to dodge the stones, but the bone spears were harder to dodge due to how many there were. Cuts all across my body appeared while dodging the spears until I had a great idea.

I stopped dodging and just walked towards to them with my arms spread wide open. This confused them for a few seconds before they started to throw them at me again. And instead of dodging I let my tattoo eat all the bone spears heading my way with a few big stones too.

They threw stuff at me nonstop when the spears stopped the stones did as well. I was lucky they stopped I almost ran out of space in the tattoo. I made the dragon spit up all the shit they threw at me to the side.

It was time to dig into the swarm. Lowering myself as low as possible I grabbed the ground with my left hand while readying my right one. Bunching my muscles up I tensed as much as I was able to then release like a string of a bow, I rocketed out like an arrow to the first victim of mine.

I pounced on it ripping my claws across its neck sending the head flying from the body. Rolling I kicked the corpse into the one to the left and behind it to stun them. The two on the right tried to stab me, but I parried it with ease and slammed both their heads together breaking their skulls.

New quest killing spree. Kill all the enemies on the plains.

104/106 left alive kill them all. Rewards depend on how fast you are and how efficient you fight.

Being happy with the new quest and possible rewards I started to blasting the ones in the back still holding spears and balls with my Basic Light Bolts. And the ones close to me, I would slash, stab, crush, and rip apart. They had almost no physical protection at all. It was like taking a bite of a freshly killed prey.

10 minutes pasted, and I had killed 25 of them while trying to reserve some mp for healing or big attacks. I back handed one of the spawns trying to sneak up on me breaking its neck. My tail even got some work too on those coming in from behind me. It became harder to stand on the ground due to how many bodies that were under my feet.

My fighting became smoother and faster the longer I fought meaning that my fight skill was going up in levels.

30 more minutes 40 more died I sat down on the bodies behind me and rested while firing bolts at the one coming in at me thinking I was weakening. That sucks for them because I can still keep going I was just recovering my stamina. I pulled out a rust snake and ate while staring down at them. This pissed off the Hive Mind, all the spawns began screeching, clicking and hissing at me. The big one sat there waiting as I was I needed to recover enough of my mp before fighting that thing otherwise it will be a long and dangerous fight.

I am glad st recovered quicker than my mp after eating it was five times faster than just resting.

Basic Stamina Regeneration has reached max level rank it will now rank up.

Basic Stamina Regeneration → Common Stamina Regeneration Lv1/15

What the hell? It reached max level already that's a big surprise to me. Fuck why did a message appear now of all times. A few of the swarm had climbed over the dead bodies of their fallen and started to climb up to me. I killed them with bolts and sat there for a while longer to recover more than half my st. I had 75 percent till I was full It is time to get back down there and stop using magic.

They tried throwing the spears they had recovered at me again from my blind side I dodged most of them only a few impaled my back or cut me. Before they threw as they threw more I had the tattoo open and swallow them all making the stop. That's when they hit me with one of the black balls.

It splattered all over my left side of my arm and chest. And they all stopped attacking me only throwing more of the black sludge.

I felt something then try to invade my mind. I continued killing the surrounding taint spawns. It was knocking at the Iron mask the shielded me from outside interference. The Hive Mind tried to break down my mind and take over. The strength of its mind magic was strong I felt something slip out of place to reinforce the mask. It was trying to break me. I will break them.

Anger flared up inside me and I felt it call to me asking to be let free to feed on the monsters in front of us. I released some of the control I had over my anger. And killed the last of the swarm in front of me except for the big guy now standing up. It probably thinks that I am weaker now that I have to fight its control, so it sent the big one to kill me off or capture me.

I waited to use my magic on it until I had enough mp to blast this fucker to hell. I ran at like a crazy beast going for the ankles of the big fighter. It swung its bone axe at me, while fast it was not faster than me or the tracer. I dodged by side stepping out of the way slashing my claws against the leg trying to whittle it down and buy time to recover enough. I just needed 30 minutes to recharge enough mp to shot him 12 time in the head that should kill him.

It swung the axe around wildly and kicked or stomped at me giving me a hard time to be around it due to how long its reach was compared to my own. Fucking hell this was bullshit. It slowly got used too how I moved around giving cuts from how close it was getting to me. Even though I wanted it to think I was slowly weakening I fought on not stopping at all. Every opening I had I hit back and slashed at it.

Just 5 more minutes and I would be ready to finish it off. I made it feel like I was almost done for, and it slowly tried to move in closer to me. It was bleeding quite good with a small pool of blood under its feet. It swung its axe at me again slamming it into the ground, and before I pulled it back I kicked at the shaft with all my strength snapping the bone axe in half. It was pissed trying to grab me to crush me. Not letting It catch me until there was only 3 seconds left. It picked me up and tried to bite me with the mandibles to kill me off. I felt the presence beating away the iron mask weaken as it focused on controlling the big fighter holding me mere hair breath away from death. And I had recovered enough mp right then. I heard something coming from the plains from the pond area but ignored it until I killed the thing holding me. 12 bolts of light appeared next to my head and before the Hive Mind had time to react I had already released all of them point-blank blowing the head up into a shower of brains and a mist of green blood. It fell back from the blast with me landing on its chest.

Looking back I saw the spider that always followed me with a few others behind it staring at me in pure fear. The only one without fear was the spider once again staring at me with reverence in its eyes as it stared and me. I tried to use the tattoo to get rid all the things covering me body. The dragon's head put me in its mouth as the stuff on me started to be taken off me and after a second I came out with only the cuts and bruises that littered me from head to toe. The monster behind the spider tried to hide from my sight while trying to sneak away. “Do what you will with the bodies I don't care but don't follow me any further in there. Follow me and I will kill you.” I snarled at them as I began to walk deep towards the direction where the horde came from.

Following the trail of destruction was easy to do after a fight like that. I walked at a slow place while eating to heal up and be at my peak condition to fight the Hive Mind. After feeling, I was at a safe level of recovery I began to quicken my pace to reach the hole these things came from. Not long, and I was able to find a hill like my own but with a hole on the side. Only the weaker spawns were left here, and I was able to kill them with ease. Increasing the speed I was going I began running through the tunnel and after a while I had found it in a room full of eggs and a breeder queen. Breeding Queen Juvenile Lv 9 Tier 2, Hive Mind Teen Lv 2 Tier 3 the hive mind was a small sickly ant with pale grayish skin thing with a big head and dripping black sludge from its mouth It was 3ft (0.91 m) tall with stick thin limbs laying there. The queen was different from it being huge and fat. It probably weighed more than 400 pounds (181.44 kg), 8ft (2.44 m) tall and 15ft (4.57 m) wide. It was huge for only being a tier two. I wouldn't want to see what a higher tier one looked like.

Walking over to the Hive Mind It blasted me with its mind magic even if it didn't work it hurt like hell. Picking up a big stone from nearby I raised it over my head and slammed it into the head of the thing laying there. And after killing it I used every single drop left of mp to blast the fucking hell out of it. I moved my eyes over to the queen and knew I should kill it too since I had no mind left after the Hive Mind ripped it to shreds. The eyes were blank all it did was sit there and lay eggs.

40 minutes later I killed her putting it out of its suffering. And then it hit me as both quests I had were completed at the same time I was dizzy, so I pulled out the shed and went inside of it. Falling to the ground as soon as I got inside and shut and locked the door. Pain ripped at my body as a blinking message I couldn't read well flashed into view.

Evolution Is being forced due to exceeding the amount needed by three times. Your mind will be transported to a room to chose your next evolution. Class will stay the same but will increase in rank. Divergent classes not available yet due to not being a high enough tier. For your safety you will be put to sleep.

Other rewards will be held until you are finished with your evolution.

Fuck me why didn't you say so zzzzzz.

POV Spider

I feared and admired the chosen even more now after witnessing what we had just saw. We had arrived after he had already killed over half of them while sitting on a mound of corpses. They sat there killing all that came to die. The taint spawns had no chance at all the only one who stood a chance maybe was the tier 2 in the back standing there waiting. A dragon's head appeared out of nowhere and had eaten the spears of them. Nothing really had been able to touch the chosen. Blue lights slaughtered everything.

And when he began to fight the taint fighter he dodged blow after blow while standing up to a tier higher than the chosen without running away or hesitating. It swung its axe with enough strength to kill all of with just one blow. And they just danced around it slicing whenever it was able too. Something told me not to interfere and just watch. After 30 minutes the axe was kicked breaking it in half. The fighter was enraged and grabbed the chosen. When I saw this I forced the monsters behind me also watching to come and help. But even before reaching the halfway point the fighter was dead with the chosen standing on its chest.

Looking at the chosen they were so magnificent even covered in gore of a monster. Looking up I saw power that could kill all of us without even moving a muscle. This was true power and the chosen would lead up to it.

The chosen spoke to us and told us not to follow anymore and use the bodies of these things as we see fit. So wonderful and kind. Praise the Mother and her chosen. I heard something whisper in my head saying praise the destroyer.

So I did I praised the Mother and the Destroyer. Praise be to them. May we follow their glory.
