Arachnoid Anarchy (4)

Penelope was about to use another acid spray on Zero when she saw what the elf was doing and froze in the middle of her attack. Those were...those were her children's corpses!

Indeed, Zero started to bring them out from his inventory and used them to form a huge wall in front of him. The dungeon does not recognise a corpse from the dungeon if an adventurer brought it out of the dungeon and back again but Penelope recognised her children instantly. These unfortunate spiders might just be a vessel for the countless trapped souls under the dungeon's command but to her, they were broodlings she hatched and protected from the days they were mere eggs. The memories of how Penelope painstakingly murdered stray creatures and adventurers to nurture them successfully into adulthood made her cry. Unfortunately, she was just a spider and no tears flowed.
