When I Got Reincarnated As A Spider With My Goddess - Chapter 33

PROLOGUE

Lili that’s the name my parents gave to me. I the daughter of the True Hero and the True Demon Lord and being a member of the Royal Demon Family I also possess the title of a True Demon Lord Candidate.

I love my parents so much because they always get me what I want and always play with me. There was never a moment I felt alone or sad with them. Until then I had been living in a mansion with only my parents, I did not meet anyone nor anyone came to meet me. One could even say I was left to believe that we are the only living beings in this whole world. But when I turned ten, mother and father suddenly started talking to me about going to the surface. At first I was amazed to hear that there was a much wider world on the outside and lots of people just like me lived there.

All these years I had been learning magic from father and wielding weapons and also practicing martial arts with mother. Though I had always hated learning spell casting, languages of different races and other long literature which I find to be utterly useless.

Mother is always right if you want something just use your raw strength, who needs to study tactics, etiquettes, politics, laws and administering nations. That’s why I used to spend most of the time training with mother than with father who would always insist or try to teach me whenever possible.

But I still loved both of them equally; because when it came to matters related to food I could only count on him for help. When I had completed my swordsmanship training and chose my main weapon as a death scythe – I then learned to manifest a soul weapon. My soul weapon manifested into binding chains which I can coincidentally attach to my scythe’s handle and use it in combo attacks. It was a perfect fit for me to tackle mages and for my weapon to reach far distances.

But when we started talking about Demon Academy, I learned the truth that my parents won’t be accompanying me to the surface. That all this time we had been living inside a dangerous labyrinth, where not even light can reach from the surface. If I uttered a word about my correct address then people would consider it akin to hell. But that did not bother me.

I was frustrated by the thought that I would be travelling alone. There will be no one beside me whom I would know.

And when I was told the reason for them not accompanying me, my heart was broken. How dare those people on the outside could do this to mother and father when they were only trying to protect them, they took their help for granted. Even a child like me could understand that.

I began hating each one of them. It was not my parent’s fault that they can’t go with me; it was the fault of those people who are enjoying their peaceful lives after the war ended. For maintaining peace, my parents had conceded their own freedom. They had to pay the price so that those of the future generation did not have to worry and could together work to reach new heights.

But I too being their only child had to understand their situation and since they wanted me to not be bound by those foolish ideals, I had to venture in the outside world on my own. Co-operation… on the outside it sounded a joke to me. When I reached the surface and enrolled in the Demon Academy under an alias and my identity hidden with the help of a Father’s acquaintance who was aware of their existence, I realized that all their sacrifice was for naught. Even though on the outside it might have looked peaceful but everyone was trying to get ahead of one another. While some of the races worked in isolation, humans tried their best to lessen the power of demons while pretending to look the other side. Same went for the demon lords and generals who secretly plotted against humans and other species pretending to be neutral.

Simply put it was a cold war with everyone holding back each other. Everyone yearned for power and the best solution they could come up was to push others down than to focus on self growth and become prosperous by their own hard work and intellect.

Race Protection Rights held no meaning when slave trade flourished at the same time. Producing surplus food had no meaning if they store them to horde money instead of sharing them with deficit areas. Races that boasted of their supremacy had no credibility if they remained isolated and cut-off from the rest of the world and reject everything that did not fit with their own obsolete views.

I hated each one of them because they separated me from my parents. They made me feel lonely and sad. My parents too must have felt the same.

Here I was s happy returning to home after such a long time and I find another being in my house. Nonetheless a low level human. This was supposed to be my home and only we three belonged here. So why did a fourth one showed up.

Out of pure anger and jealousy I launched a frontal physical attack with my Death Scythe. That would do it. It’s all over for her. That’s what I thought when I was hung in mid air, the blade of my scythe softly held in the intruder’s hand. A beautiful human girl maybe three or four years older than me. But this attack would have killed even a high class general of a human kingdom.

What’s going on, did she fake her status. That’s not possible her level is lower than mine. Does that mean her stats and skills are far above mine that I cannot see them.

And when I ask for her identity after I honourably declared mine she calls herself my sister. I did not let anger consume me, but I rechecked her status from top to bottom. How can she share the same family name and even have the same title of True Demon Lord Candidate, though some titles still appear hazy to me.

How ridiculous, I will never accept this. Never. She too must be from the outside. This house is only meant for me and my parents. They have no right to be here and interfere in our happy lives.

There is no place for negotiation. She is dangerous if she can pretend things up to this level. Stopping a direct hit, maybe she is physically strong. So how about magic. Even though I might not have yet mastered it like father, I would still be considered one of the strongest magic user in the outside world.

“O halos of fire, scorch the wind and purge my enemy.”

A large blast of firestorm rained on her from every direction, the earth shook and the nearby trees got burnt with the exceeding temperature. But after a few moments when the red flames got cleared, she was still standing unscathed and smiling. How could she still smile, she is my enemy so why is she not even fighting back, does she think I am too weak to be bothered with.

I used another spell and large boulder floated mid-air, while this time I added fire attribute to them and launched several of these projectiles at her. I needed to figure out how she is blocking my attack.

Just as one of my giant flaming boulder was about to hit, a blue transparent cubical plate, blocked it and instead of the rock shattering into pieces or the shield being damaged, the whole thing simply vanished. It was different from anti-magic, as if my magic had just suddenly disappeared or clearly put became non-existent. It was similar to father’s unique skill, but this time there were no traces left behind. As if she herself had consumed my magic, that’s the feeling I got.

No matter, I just need to use a much stronger spell break through her defense and attack at the same time. This time for sure I will get to her.

After Alicia had introduced herself, she thought she would be able to talk to her sister. But it seems that she did not take to her liking, even though she greeted her with a smile. She decided not to fight with her own sister and settle matters peacefully. Maybe she might be a bit of an aggressive type, comparing her to those of single hot-minded little sister who pretended to be an adult. That’s the kind of analogy Alicia came up with when she compared it to one of her family drama books she read before.

Though she blocked a physical attack single-handedly and for the magical attacks she used divine barrier magic and gluttony at the same time.

Suddenly she felt a tremendous surge of magic particles in the surrounding being manipulated by Lilith. A black sun appeared mid sky, still growing in size and black fluid dripped from its surface which even melted the ground. She felt that she had already seen such kind of dark magic before. Not just only that but it seemed to have been combining with the things around because of its huge revolving mass. The black sun came flying at her, but Alicia did not flinch for a second. Black thin threads out of the blue manifested out of thin air and stopped the growing black sun, slowly consuming it before it could do any more damage to the beautiful forest where she came to read books.

At the same time the barrage of multiple strikes Lili launched with her scythe on her body, she without putting much of effort matched up with Lili’s quick speed and her hands covered in some sort of blue flashy light blocked all the attacks. Lili had no choice but to retreat and come up with another strategy.

She was now shocked to see her strongest magic vapourising in front of her, just because it got stuck in a weird net. With all her strength tested, she had no choice but to use her final trump card.

“Soul Weapon Manifest. Signare Chains.” As Lili spoke these words her vicinity got surrounded by thick black chains.

Alicia was shocked… she had never seen something like this before. She felt that those chains were not made of any matter nor they had any physical form but had a totally different composition entirely which made her even more curious.

But she could not let it get the best of her. She wanted to prove her sister that she was strong, that’s what Alicia thought of it to be one of the test where you prove your worth to form kinship with someone.

Till now she had just blocked and was not on the offensive. But this time she started taking the fight seriously.

[ABSOLUTE ZERO]

A thin crystal sword made of ice formed in her left hand. She thought that this would be enough if she was going to use a weapon.

On the other hand, Lili failed to recognize the sword made of absolute ice and the huge absurd amounts of magic spend to form it. In her eyes, she thought that she was being mocked as not worthy of using a real weapon against your opponent, even though she was giving her all.

She launched her chains trying to bind her in a single throw, while at the same time trying to strike with her scythe at the right moment. But things did not go as she had thought.

It was not about only the strength of her ice sword but the way she moved her sword was in such harmony that the chains were drifted in messing up or rather following the wielder’s instruction were dancing on the tune of the enemy and colliding in themselves. Then with the hilt of the sword she blocked Lili’s attack at the same time bringing it to a stalemate.

Lili could not help but feel that it was one of her Mother’s single sword techniques. She was not only defeated badly but all her claims were slowly being crushed by her fearsome foe. And yet instead of laughing at her or mocking her, she was still giving me that warm smile. She was unable to come up with another strategy and felt so helpless in her own house. But why…

At that moment Caroline and Zylon teleported to the part of the forest which was turned into a disaster prone zone by a small exchange of punches between their daughters.

Caroline gracefully nullified the soul weapon on Lili while at the same time drifted the scythe and sword away in diametrically opposite sides.

“Lili and Alicia stop fighting and destroying this forest, we should be having a family meeting now so let’s go into the house.”

Lili had nothing to speak anymore, she thought that her mother had finally come to help her, but suddenly she ordered both of them into the house and stop fighting most important of all the person which she up till no w had considered to be an intruder, but she was baffled when her mother called out to her by her name.

What was the actual truth awaiting her, why is she the only one still in the dark, she thought to herself.
