"Anyway, what do we have here?"

After entering the doors, I went through a lot of traps.

Well, there were not any new or out-of-the-ordinary traps except for one.

Compared to the other traps, maybe it was the most difficult one to pass through.

The trap was a straight hallway full of all kinds of insects. In that moment, I went through hell.

[Hahaha]

"What is so funny about it?!"

[Nothing, nothing...]

"You are still laughing!!"

[Absolutely yes, your facial expression was just too funny for me not to laugh about it, and the way you were screaming...]

"Stttoop, I don't need you to remind me."

[Alright, alright.]

"By the way, why did you tell me to take these insects?"

I said hesitantly, taking a closer look at them; one of them was a two-headed centipede, and the other one was a red mantis.

Both of them are so weird in a way I can't describe; they are both the size of my forearm.

[What else? It was just a prank. I mean, it was way too funny to see you struggle just to catch them.]

"..." After hearing the answer, I was left speechless. In that moment, I wished to hit him; effectively, I tried to do so.

[What are you trying to do with that sphere of darkness?!]

"Ah, nothing special, just a quick experiment."

[Sorry, sorry, I was joking. Those insects are useful for their skills!]

"I hope for you it is worth it!"

[...!]

And just like this, I activated [Sin Of Gluttony] on them both, and yes, it was worth the effort.

[Due to the predation, you acquired the following skills:

[Rot Attack: Lv2] [Paralyzing Attack: Lv4] [Corroding Attack: Lv5]

"Wooow, those are quite the useful skills."

[I told you.]

"Ok, I'll forgive you for the joke."

[Thank you.]

"All right, let's go and

And just like this, I activate the skill.

At first my whole body was turned into a shadow, and till there everything was going as planned.

The past few days of training were showing their results, but now comes the difficult part: to immerse myself in my shadow.

The problem here was I didn't know how long I would last, but because I didn't have the time to figure it out, I just went for it.

After immersing myself in the shadow, I started to walk through the hallway.

It was like walking in a castle hallway for how big it is, but due to the amount of webs, it looked more creepy than anything.

After walking for a while, I started feeling uneasy, like somebody was looking at me.

[What is wrong?]

"Eh!? N...Nothing."

Since [Global Wisdom] didn't notice anything, I thought it was just my imagination and tried to ignore it, but I didn't last long before the anxiety didn't allow me to go any further.

[What's going on?]

"Hey [Global Wisdom], it is only me, but is my [Fear Immunity] not working properly?"

[It is just your imagination; the skill is working properly.]

"Then why am I feeling scared?"

[There are a lot of reasons for a resistance skill malfunction; the most common is the status abnormality be of a higher level of the skill, but in your case it may be caused by a trauma.]

"Well, I'm literally inside the last trauma, but do those traumas also cause hallucinations?"

[!?...Eh?]

"Eh?...What? It has been a while that I have kept on seeing red eyes in the distance that keep on following me! It's just so creepy."

I complained while trembling in fear. If this was just my mind reacting to a trauma, I'd be scared but not that much.

[WAIT...WHAT? Where are those red eyes!?]

[Global Wisdom] started panicking; I started sweating cold while indicating where the eyes are.

Once he saw what those eyes really were, [Global Wisdom] lost his composure; he was agitated like I had never seen him before.

[SHIT!!!...RUN!!] He shouted out of nowhere, causing me to almost lose control of the [Abyssal Shadow Immersion] skill.

"What the..."

[LATER THE EXPLANATION; GET OUT OF HERE BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.]

I started running back to the doors, but out of nowhere, spider threads started coming my way.

"What is..."

[Don't turn around and run faster!]

Before I could even finish talking, [Global Wisdom] just told me to go faster.

I kept on running while [Global Wisdom] told me where to go, so I was able to avoid the constant threat coming at me.

"...We're almost there!"

I said as I saw the doors, but to my surprise, something strange was happening even there; all the webs on the walls started moving and tried to catch me, even if I was still moving within my shadow; I was barely able to escape them.

Those webs were not normal.

After barely escaping from the hallway, I asked [Global Wisdom] to explain what was going on.

"So, do you want to tell me what that was?" I said while gasping for air.

[That was the spider queen.]
