Not waiting for the spider's response, his body burst forward, the slight arcs of lightning from his father's technique causing him to accelerate further, almost tearing his leg muscles.
'FUCK!'
His body twisted rapidly as the spider's mouth of the Arachne woman spat a sticky bundle of webbing from her ass, catching him by the side and dragging him down.
He could feel himself spinning without control; his whole body felt like one massive muscle spasm.
He fought back with his best counter-move, activating his Shadow Strike ability. The darkness that was his essence tore through the webbing with blinding speed, slamming into the spider with an immense impact that shook its body, throwing it off balance for a moment.
Everything seemed to slow from his perspective, the webbing rippling in front of him with a sickening, pulsing sound. He felt the familiar sensation as he dispelled his Dread Mantle, returning to his full senses and standing tall, ready to rip the poor thing apart.
Just as the spider's head appeared at eye level, he put all his weight behind a blow to its neck. His blow-impacting flesh echoed around the arena, causing everyone to turn their attention.
In that instant, he caught the red glow of the Spider Queen staring at him with what appeared to be genuine admiration.
'What?'
Her body vanished!?
The beautiful Arachne's human figure looked at him from upside down; her lips curved into a strange smile as her long, slimy tongue slid over her lips. Raven watched before he was suddenly sent flying back with a stabbing pain in his right shoulder.
"Ugh!?"
Her black leg had hit him faster than his eyes could register, sending him spinning. He landed hard on his back with a loud thud. His momentum was such that he flipped over and slammed into the floor; he quickly rolled away with a yelp.
"That has to hurt."
"Motherfucker!"
He took a deep breath, stood up, and swung his axe with renewed strength. His blade sliced through the air as it ripped apart the webbing she spewed from her ass at him, skittering across the ceiling on her webbing out of his range.
"Damn... this woman is annoying!" Raven shouted as his body once again filled with the black mist—he looked around and found that her webbing was tied to each of the main pillars of the building.
'It's the only way!'
Woosh! Thud!
Raven's body dashed away towards the far corner of the room—the sound of her powerful ball of webbing shot like a cannon towards him resounded as it crushed the stone where he was standing.
A moment later, he launched himself into the air and landed on the pillar's tip, where the webbing was condensed to form a hard seal to keep the ceiling web held up.
Holding his axe tightly, Raven swung down on both the hardened webbing and the stone pillar's tip simultaneously—it smashed through the floor with a loud crack and a shower of dust. The hard cut caused him to spin and lose control of his rotation, smashing him into the platform's edge.
His head smacked against the stone floor with enough force that he saw stars for a moment. His eyes adjusted soon enough, and he blinked his blurry vision to see Arachne walking towards him; her right eye was bleeding with a slight limp from her front legs.
"You little wretch!" She shouted, lunging forward to bite his throat with her sharp and venomous fangs.
"Hah-hahaha!"
She lunged even faster, but he dropped sideways and then lashed out at her, slamming his right hand against her head with his black claws pressed against her human form. Raven's muscles bulged as he felt his body ache before he launched her entire body against the wall, the black spider legs curling together as she collided with her palace wall.
The impact caused the entire room to shake, yet Raven didn't stop, his body casting her with his axe held high, aiming to cleave her in two.
The Arachne grabbed Raven's axe arm with her other hand, trying to pull it back by its wrist as the orc roared and struggled to gain his grip, releasing the axe placing his black claw on her face, proceeding to slam her head on the stone floor, once-twice over and over. He smashed her head, blood pouring from the wounded side of her face, while her fangs and legs tried to kick him out and get him away.
"Let go of me, you son of a bitch!" She shouted.
"FUCK YOU!"
Arachne let out a hideous scream of agony that echoed around the room, her body growing ever more distorted as Raven's arm turned green—black veins started to show their presence under his skin, his muscles slowly but surely hardening and expanding beneath his skin.
Bang!-Bang!-Bang!
His eyes became filled with rage and anger, the Arachne at his mercy as he continued to smash her into the ground—stepping on her black body from behind, he placed his foot on her head, grinding it into the floor, as her webbing began to spurt randomly as if trying to catch him by luck, her legs scraping on the ground trying to recover and roll over to bite him fatally.
"I won't let you have your way..." Raven growled as he stomped on her again.
He stepped back from his prize, letting out a deep sigh as he looked at the body of the creature she had become.
"Gods above... you beast!" The Arachne said in pain, her body turning red with her blood, limp trying to struggle to her feet before his axe smashed into her spider's face crushing her fangs with the flat of the blade, then sending her flying across the room, only left to spasm on the ground in pain.
"Phew... Delia..."
Raven ignored her, rushing to the aid of Delia, wrapped in the webbing.
Suddenly, a beautiful woman's body wrapped around him, her back with several spider legs all clamping onto his chest and back; as her soft red lips opened, a slither of saliva dripped from her lips like a bridge before she bit into Raven's muscular neck, her fangs seeming to inject something into his body.
At the same time, her eyes widened, feeling something entering her own.
"Mmmph~ stupid man!" She cackled after pulling away, her lips even darker, now stained with his blood, as she began to lick his face with her long, wet tongue and glistening red eyes, all narrowed as if she had won.
"Did you forget I had a human form~ how else would I play best friends with that silly elf?"
"Fufu~ now you will go numb, suffer agony as your cock is erect for hours until it becomes necrotic~ Ahhh! how wonderful!"
Her face twisted with a strange sense of pleasure and delight as she kissed his cheek, her sharp teeth nibbling him repeatedly while her eight legs and two hands began to stroke all over his body, slowly tearing the bodysuit into shreds.
"Hey~ do you like it? My legs are sexy. You want to fuck me. Look at that huge bulge~ fufu! No man can resist my venom!"
The more she touched him and spoke, the more crazed her face became, her tongue sliding over his neck as if savouring his entire body's taste, her eyes narrowed with a fierce glow.
"Let me taste you~ give me some daughters? As the first man to be bitten by me~ fufu! My tastes are high~ only the best will do!"
Raven's eyes were closed—he didn't know what to do...
He was horny! But it wasn't the venom; her hands, feet, and tongue felt good!
'Ah... this is awkward; why is she like those virgins who hire a prostitute and get over-excited?' Raven thought as she breathed deeply down his neck, now biting him again, her body pressed against his.
'To kill her... Or to tame the little spider?'
"Do you like it~ fufu, my tech is good? Are you going to cum over my legs?"
'Eh... you're not even touching my crotch... you keep avoiding it?'
'Should I put her out of her misery?'
Raven suddenly missed the first Knight he fought... This was no longer a fight but made him feel sorry for the weird little spider...
"Fuuu~ such a handsome man~ a perfect fit for me~ I'll have your children... A-and make sure they know who the mother is."
Raven could hear the lust and arousal in her voice but also a tinge of nerves and uncertainty. He decided to make a move; the moment her legs came close to his cock, she loosened her body, allowing him to slip out of her grasp; he grabbed one of her arms and flung her over his shoulder.
Bang!
The Arachne in human form was face first in the stone; her body seemed to be naked due to the transformation, Her black legs were moving as if to capture him, but his foot was placed on her head, keeping her down, like prostrating with her ass in the air.
'Ah... how to punish her...'
He could chop her up with his axe...
Then he looked at the pale, hairless lower body swaying as she desperately tried to escape, a thick silver thread of nectar oozing between her lips—it wasn't webbing...
'Is this woman...'
Raven had recently started to reflect that most of his women weren't actual masochists, and only Philis was a genuine masochist, while the others just liked to see him happy and could switch to either style.
But this Arachne made Philis seem tame...
'Why is she producing so much of that sticky thread despite being trampled on... damn... where is the epic battle like last time?'
Feeling annoyed, his right hand was burning with a black aura, wrapping him with the gloom of his dread mantle before he lifted it high, the power and mana he fed to it growing each moment.
PAH!
"Don't!"
He slapped her ass while shouting out words to the woman.
"Kidnap!"
PAH! PAH!
"Cute"
The sound of the strikes was followed by a strangely distorted howling from the woman's lips; it hurt his ears.
"Elves!"
Her body was moving, trying to break free, even as she screamed, but Raven's attack was ruthless and relentless.
PAH! PAH! PAH! PAH!
"Never annoy me again!"
Raven didn't know why, but it felt good to spank her with his full strength using the dread mantle.
Unlike his women, this woman was not a normal monster, and her toughened flesh only began to bleed after he spanked her six or seven times but more than blood...
Her lower body was leaking something more disappointing.
'This damn masochist!'
As her screams finally died out, Raven roared while tossing the naked Arachne into the distance, her body still trembling after making a mess.
'I hate perverts...'
Raven put some distance between himself and the woman, looking back at the entrance to the cave... before helping Delia free from the webbing; the next moment, an announcement made him feel strange...
-> You have defeated the 12th Knight! Congratulations!
Gained 20,000 exp

"Eh, did she die?" He asked while walking out of the palace, looking back to notice the spider was gone, which made him think she probably dissolved like a monster.
"Mmm..."
He thought back to that smooth body and felt it was a bit of a loss.
"It's a shame; she had a nice ass."
"!!!"
Raven turned around, sure he heard something to react to his words... but there was nothing but a quiet skittering from behind him and what seemed to be some sticky liquid dripping from the cave roof onto his face, but it smelt nice and tasted sweet so, it couldn't be bad right?
'...'
He saved Delia, and the dungeon was clear—sadly, he didn't have the energy to see if the throne had a chest for him to collect...
[1] Apologies; I will change his status next time you see it.
The decimal point system was good to keep his growth slow, but it's annoying and hard to read now I have checked the novel.
I won't change earlier chapters but will make a Lore-friendly update, so I look forward.
He won't get weaker, but stronger and gain more per level overall!
