Taming The Villainesses-Chapter 88.2

(EP-88.2) Club #7

088 – Adventure Club #7

There was the sound of something ripping through the wind, then the spider trembled and quickly backed away. Kalira had swung her whip to help me.

“Are you okay?”

“Yes, I survived thanks to you!”

“If this drags on, we might not be able to leave. Is there any way to defeat that spider?”

That was my question as well. But looking at the situation, it seemed that Kalira also didn’t know how to defeat that giant tiger-spider.

After all, she was an assassin that specifically targeted humans.

Was there anything we could do?

Then, one thing came to mind.

Knocking it down with firepower!

─Paimon-!

I took advantage of the distance created to shoot magic towards the spider. Soon, compressed air scraped the floor and hit the beast’s body.

━Gieeek-!

Kwajijik-.

One of the spider’s hind legs fell to the ground after my attack. Seeing this, Kalira said in awe.

“It is more powerful than I thought… The magic of the wind that leaves no trace. I have never seen such a neat attack magic!”

If an experienced assassin like Kalira admired it, then it must mean that my attack magic had begun to reach a certain level.

Normally, I would have been happy with such an achievement, but now was not the time for that.

─Paimon-!

Pajeujeujeuk-.

Once again, my magic ripped apart the grass and rushed towards the body of the giant spider.

However, it quickly dodged and evaded the invisible, colorless and odorless bullet before clinging to the outer wall of the building again.

Whooosh-.

It was moving too fast.

I kept aiming my tail wand at the cursed thing.

━Kreunug…!

However, its body was moving much faster than my arm could reposition.

If only I could halt it in place for a second…

It was then that I remembered my newly acquired magic. Wasn’t I able to bind Elga for about 10 seconds after using said spell!?

That spider couldn’t be stronger than Elga, so this should work!

“Miss Kalira, can you tie it up for a moment? I only need three seconds, no, two seconds is enough!”

“Then I’ll try the anesthetic. I don’t know if it will work on such a large spider. But it’s the neurotoxin from the carbus scorpion, so it should do the trick.”

Kalira rummaged around her waist and pulled out a glass bottle filled with golden liquid, then sprinkled it on her whip.

With it, Kalira’s whip turned into a giant scorpion tail.

I wondered if I would be able to see the skill of the assassin who pushed even the villain hunter party into a corner.

─Pursue-.

Kalira swung her whip with a strange command. The whip then rushed like a living snake and constricted the spider’s front legs.

━Gieeek-!

The spider started running to and fro, trying to remove the wrapping whip, which also caused Kalira’s body to sway around.

After a while.

━Grrrr-.

“The toxin seems to be working.”

The gigantic tiger-spider trembled like an insect that had been sprayed with insecticide.

Then, it fell off the building with its stomach facing up.

━Hioong….

It made a very pitiful sound. Maybe it knew that its death was near. Then again, this could just be a strategy to distract us from a surprise attack.

Of course, I was not ignorant enough to fall for such a trick. If I didn’t finish it off, I could very well be the one killed!

So I pointed my wand at the beast and shouted.

─Gamigin-!

Pajijijik-.

A strange pink lightning struck the spider’s body.

━Kreung….

The spider began to shake like a human who had inhaled poison, before its limbs finally drooped.

“Is it dead?”

I replied to Kalira by shaking my head.

“No, it’s just down for a while.”

The blood of Angmar flowing within me and the magical talent of being a Half-Fairy made me instinctively realize that my spell had succeeded to some extent.

I believed that I would be able to control this giant spider for around 5 minutes or so.

“Rise.”

As I commanded, the giant spider slowly got up and faced me. When I reached my hand out towards it, the giant spider also put out its front leg towards me.

━Hioong…!

“Amazing. You can tame such a huge spider? What spell was it?”

Kalira approached the now-calm spider. Then, her red eyes suddenly narrowed as if she had found something.

“Here, look at this. Look at the spider’s leg. There’s a pink ribbon on its front left second leg-.”

As Kalira said, there was a ribbon wrapped around the spider’s leg.

It wasn’t something a spider would put on itself. Rather, someone must have wrapped it there. This could only mean one thing…

“It looks like this is an abandoned spider.”

Kalira also nodded.

“Perhaps someone raised it when it was small, but the fella continued growing bigger till the owner could no longer handle it, so they abandoned the poor thing in this forest. Still, I have never seen such a large spider…”

Kalira was knowledgeable about all kinds of poisons and medicine. She seemed interested in this gigantic tiger-spider. She even fearlessly caressed its legs and body.

━Hioong…!

“Can you fully tame this fellow instead of killing it? I think a tiger-spider will be helpful in many ways if it is properly tamed.”

I also wanted to do that, but I didn’t know if I would be able to completely tame this ferocious wild spider.

The duration of Gamigin on this guy was about 5 minutes. In fact, maintaining the spell already consumed quite a lot of mental power.

Well, my Trainer job was at Level 6.

After checking the status window of several people, I knew that starting from level 5, it was considered to be around expert level.

Hm… Perhaps I could give this a shot?

━Kreung-!

Just then, the spider let out a sharp roar. Maybe my spell wasn’t perfect? I suddenly felt chills as something ripped the air.

Swaeeeek-! Pabat-!

As soon as the spider dodged, something flickered into the empty spot, right above where it previously stood.

It was an arrow. No, it was more like a bullet rather than an arrow, just basing from the sheer power. Specifically, that thing was a crossbow bolt…

The moment I saw this, my hair stood on end.

At the same time, something emerged amongst the grass.

“… Did I miss?”
