Leveling Up Alone-Chapter 431: Onward, To The United States! (6)
Chapter 431: Onward, To The United States! (6)
Most humans would find Tias appearance repulsive unless they loved spiders or had strange tastes. She learned that humans often portrayed spiders as monsters in games or movies, so she knew her master would not love her forever.
I guess its time for me to leave.
Tia had already decided to leave once Han-Yeol no longer felt the same way toward her. Now that she was accustomed to being with someone, she knew that being alone would not be easy, but she also knew that it would not last long.
Hmm I think we can go with a different design, Han-Yeol said.
A different design?
Yeah, the armor that humans use is far too inefficient. The only benefit of walking on two legs is that it looks acceptable to humans, but its extremely inefficient for movement.
I-I guess youre right, but
So, I did some thinking. What if you designed them like you said as armor but made their lower bodies more efficient? For example, like Ah, I guess making them like spiders would be ideal.
What?! Tia shouted after being caught completely off guard. Then, she doubted her ears and asked, W-What did you say just now, master?
Hey, pay attention when Im speaking, will you? Anyway, well go with your idea of designing them as armor for their upper bodies, but we will go with eight legs like a spider so they can easily climb trees, hills, walls, and other stuff.
T-Then
The fact that they were of different races made Tia certain that Han-Yeols feelings for her had started to change. However, what Han-Yeol said was the complete opposite of what she was thinking, and it turned out that he had been thinking of her all along.
Tia started tearing up despite being a monster. She had lived numerous lives and met different kinds of people, but this was the first time someone cared about her like Han-Yeol did.
She did possess the ability to charm others, but she only used that in combat. Since she was half-spider and half-human, she knew that no matter how much she charmed the other person, they would still leave.
However, the human she met this time, Han-Yeol, treated her as a good pet, friend, and comrade without holding any prejudice against her.
Hoho~ Come here, you! Tia exclaimed.
Ack! T-Tia! Whats wrong with you all of a sudden?
Hohoho~ You need to take responsibility for turning me on!
W-W-What are you talking about?
Hohoho!
Tia wrapped her long, slender fingers around Han-Yeols neck, but she did not stop there as she teased him by seductively grazing her fingers against his skin.
She would often sneak into Han-Yeols room and ambush him while her adrenaline was still pumping from the thrill of a hunt, but those ambushes did not lead to anything passionate between them. She would just touch his body until she managed to calm down, and those experiences were like torture for Han-Yeol.
Aaaah! Tiaaaa!
Hoho~ Are you going to paint things white today? Tia whispered seductively into his ears.
Hiiiik!
***
In the end, Tia tortured Han-Yeol for a little over an hour.
W-White he muttered.
Hoho~ Thats what you get for turning me on.
When did I? free(w)ebnovel.com
Han-Yeol felt like he had been wronged, as he was clueless about what she was thinking. Tia was now on par with a Master-Rank Hunter, so reading her mind using Telepathy was not easy. He could no longer read her mind even if he was curious about something, which was not a big problem at times, but it indeed became a big problem in times like these.
I should hurry up and level up this skill so that I can read her mind! fre(e)webnov(l).com
He was not aiming to be on par with Mariam or anything like that, but he felt the need to be adept enough to read the minds of Master-Rank Hunters.
Hoho~ So you wanted to use me as the model for your new golems?
Y-Yeah Making them look like humans is not a bad idea, but just because its not a bad idea doesnt mean its good.
Well, I agree with you. We spiders have evolved to survive and hunt, so we are definitely more versatile than humans.
Thats what Im talking about! Han-Yeol exclaimed as his eyes shot wide open.
That was exactly what he wanted from his new golems. Most might think that humans were the most dominant species in this world, but that was only after they developed the various tools that granted them control over other creatures.
In the past, humans were just another part of the food chain, and they lived in fear of their predators, such as tigers, mammoths, and other wild beasts. They actively avoided entering the territories of these wild beasts and instead waged war against each other over what limited land was available.
Humans were in no way physically developed. Instead, their brains were far more developed than any other animal, and this allowed them to learn how to use tools that soon allowed them to dominate Earth.
Based on these facts, Han-Yeol did not think that the new golems designed after humans were that efficient. He considered designing them to walk on all fours like most mammals, but then they would be ineffective as manual laborers.
In the end, he came up with a brilliant idea to use Tia as the model and design the golems like the Arachnids.
Hoho! Its an honor that my master is going to use me as his model to create a new skill.
Then treat me accordingly if you know!
Do you want another massage? Hoho~ Tia asked while she moved her hands seductively.
F-Forget about it! Han-Yeol flinched and covered his body with his arms.
Oh my~ Youre so cute, master~
Unfortunately, he had no idea that doing so would only excite Tia even more. The silver lining for him was that Tia had already satisfied her desires a while ago, so she did not go wild.
Alright, shall we get to work?
Crack!
Tia cracked her knuckles and started sculpting the lava with her hands as if she was playing with clay.
Han-Yeol could have joined her too, but he decided to leave it to her. The Arachnids were blessed with craftsmanship that even the goddess Athena envied, and he knew that he would only get embarrassed if he attempted to create something.
Ah, what was the best thing I made with clay? He racked his brain.
Most people would experience making something with clay in primary school, but that was the time in Han-Yeols life when he was the poorest. He vaguely remembered being so poor that he did not tell his father and took bits from his friends instead.
Yeah Life was hard back then
He could call it just his memories now, but life was really hard back then. He remembered how embarrassed and humiliated he felt whenever he did not have enough money to do what others did.
He distinctly remembered one girl, who was the class president, during his primary school days. She was from a rich family, and she would bring this expensive clay set to class. He tried asking her for a bit, but she rejected his request, saying that her clay was expensive, so it would not mix well with the cheap ones used by the other kids.
Han-Yeol remembered grabbing her hair after hearing her condescending tone, and a fight broke out between them.
Han-Yeol reminisced for two hours until Tia was done.
All done!
What? Already?
Hoho! Dont look down on what an Arachnid is capable of!
Wow Han-Yeol muttered in amazement after seeing her work. Then, his eyes shot wide open as he exclaimed, Its awesome!
Hoho! Right?
Yeah! Its so awesome!
Thank you, master~
His eyes sparkled as he inspected Tias sculptures. This sculpture was on a completely different level from the statue of the goddess she had previously made.
Well, the statue of the goddess was indeed an amazing work of art, but Han-Yeol was not a fan of statues of gods and goddesses.
However, the sculpture Tia made this time, which had armor for its upper body while its lower body was that of a spider, completely captivated Han-Yeol.
Oh! Han-Yeol exclaimed while inspecting every nook and cranny of the sculpture, which was 99.9% complete.
The sculpture was not that big, as he did not plan to deploy it for combat anyway. Still, they stood at more than one hundred ninety centimeters due to their long spider legs, and they looked quite imposing in their own way.
Their weapons had still yet to be sculpted, but they would definitely look cool if they held an axe, shield, or lance.
Han-Yeol intended to use them as manual laborers, but Tias excellent craftsmanship made them look as if they were an elite army that unified the continent, judging by their armor which resembled ones crafted by dwarfs in mythology.
Wow! This armor design makes them look like a powerful empires elite knights!
Hoho~ Thats because thats really the design of the armor of an empires elite knights, Tia thought with a smile. She designed the soldiers armor by replicating the armor design of the elite knights of an empire from one of the fantasy dimensions she previously lived in called the Pandorak Empire.
Of course, she used herself as the model for the lower body of the golems.
Hohoho!
The laughter might have sounded like Tias, but it was actually Han-Yeols.
Its now time to replace the skill!
Oh, that sounds a bit sad
Instead, Im going to use this more than I did for the old one!
Then its going to be an honor, master.
Bwahahaha! Han-Yeol let out a burst of boisterous laughter. Then, he approached the incomplete sculpture and placed his hand on it to complete it.
Wooong!
Ding!
[You have satisfied the requirements to change your Summon Lava Golem skill.]
[You may not summon both Lava Golems.]
[Please choose between the two.]
[Retain or Overwrite]
Im definitely overwriting it!
Ding!
[The details of the skill have changedLava Golem.]
Chwak! Kieeeek!
A magic circle appeared in mid-air as soon as Han-Yeol overwrote the skill. The statue of the goddess emerged from the magic circle and shrieked in agony, but something dragged it back into the magic circle.
Oh, that was going to happen? I wouldve replaced the skill sooner if I had known that would happen! Ah, I feel even happier now! Tia rejoiced after seeing Athena in agony, even though it was just a replica of her.
Finally! Han-Yeol trembled and exclaimed after reading the messages that popped up in front of his eyes.
The skill turned out just the way he wanted it to, and he could not have asked for more than this.
Bwahahaha! I have finally obtained my very own personal army! he exclaimed while laughing like a maniac.
He already had the Black Orc Horde, but they existed in this world, so he could not summon them whenever and wherever he needed them.
However, that was not the case for his new Lava Golems, as he could summon them whenever and wherever he wanted, and he could even summon an army of them once he leveled up Summon Lava Golem to a certain extent.
Lets go! Arise, my golem army! Summon Lava Golem!
Plop! Plop! Shwaaa!
There was no reason to delay using the skill. Han-Yeol struck while the iron was hot and immediately summoned the newly designed Lava Golems.
Then, a two-meter-wide magic circle appeared on the ground, and the Lava Golems Tia had carefully sculpted started to emerge from the ground, boiling with lava.
Oh! Han-Yeol exclaimed after seeing the Lava Golems emerge. An inexplicable sense of joy filled his eyes as he watched them materialize.
