Chapter 248: Arachne Join The Fight

Sapphire Pov: 

  The arachnees were almost here, I don't know their intentions, so I have to be prepared, luckily the warriors are gathering, we are in greater numbers so it should be ok. 

  "(This is really weird, why are you here after refusing to join us a few months ago.)" (I) 

  "(I know the leader of Arachne village well, she would rather die than join forces with me, that hardhead.)" (I) 

  Soon we were ready, more than 2000 warriors, with hundreds of archers pointing in the direction where the dusk was approaching. 

  In a few seconds, they arrive, I was surprised by what I was seeing, there were hundreds of Arachnes, most of them were injured, there were even some that were being carried, they all look tired, there were even three that fell to the ground when they stopped running and are being helped by other Arachnes. 

  "I am Sapphire, I am the leader of this village!"  (I) 

  "Why are you here!?"  (I) 

  With my questions aloud one Arachne stands in front of the others, I can see that two of her legs are missing, she is one of the ones being carried. 

  I recognize her as one of the daughters of the Arachnee leader, I'm not seeing her mother around here, that doesn't look good. 

  If I'm not mistaken, her name must be Helena, she looks a lot like her mother, white skin, black hair, four doctored eyes, and a white Spider lower body which is very unusual among Arachnees. 

  "I'm Helena, daughter of the Arachnee village leader, I apologize for showing up here in this state."  (Helena) 

  "We are here because our village was attacked, more than half of our family died fighting, my mother's last orders were for me to bring the most talented of the village here and join the Lamia army in the fight against Farus."  (Helena) 

  "Don't lie, your mother even in death would never ask for that, if you want our help start being sincere."  (I) 

  "…" (Helena) 

  Sigh 

  "Very well, our village was attacked four days ago, they were outnumbered and we didn't stand a chance, that wasn't a battle, it was a massacre."  (Helena) 

  "My mother teamed up with our greatest warriors and mages to open a way of escape for a part of our family, she wanted us to go out of the mountain range, away from Farus."  (Helena) 

  "But as a proud Arachne, my sisters and I can't run away, after seeing our family attacked and killed without being able to defend themselves, after seeing my own mother dying…" (Helena) 

  "…" (Helena) 

  "How could we run away carrying so much anger and hate inside us, how can I run away without having the chance to take revenge on the enemy who destroyed our home?!"  (Helena) 

  "Leader Sapphire is right, my mother would not approve of us being here, she respected you as a rival, for her to ask you for help would be the same as admitting defeat, she would never do that."  (Helena) 

  "But I'm not my mother, our two races have always been alike, even though we've faced each other on the battlefield, it's always been low kill fights where we compete showing respect to each other."  (Helena) 

  "I am here today of my own accord and with the support of what's left of my family to join the fight against our common enemy, Farus."  (Helena) 

  "Allow my family the chance to take revenge, please village leader Sapphire."  (Helena) 

  "…" (I) 

  "(So she died fighting…)" (I) 

  For a few seconds, the scenes of my fights against her flashed through my head. 

  "(Goodbye my old rival, it seems that in the end, I was the one who stood the longest.)" (I) 

  "(I know you wouldn't approve of this, but I also know you'd be proud to see those eyes full of resolve and will to fight on your daughter.)" (I) 

  "(I promise not to treat her badly, I will welcome her family with open arms from today, rest in peace.)" (I) 

  After hearing about the tragedy that befell the Arachne village and the death of my eternal rival, I feel a pain in my heart that I didn't expect, there were hundreds of battles I had against her throughout my life, she was the first one I fought and I thought I would be the last one I would fight, knowing of his death causes me more pain than I imagined I would feel. 

  Seeing your daughter go over her last will and want to fight by my side is something that never crossed my mind, if she was still alive I would drag this girl away from here and beat her up, but I know she would be proud too for her strong will to fight an enemy who has defeated them before, she would be proud to see that resolution in her daughter's eyes. 

  "(I guess I can do this as a way to piss you off one last time, I hope you're watching this in the underworld and complaining like your damn spider always did, how can you die for anyone other than me?)" (I) 

  "…" (I) 

  "Ma'am, you're fine, you're crying."  (Lamia A) 

  "…" (I)

  I run my hand over my face and realize it's wet with my tears. 

  "(How can I be crying over the death of that damn Spider.)" (I) 

  I dry these ridiculous tears and look at the two-legged young Arachne under the walls, she is looking straight into my eyes with great resolution and will to fight. 

  For a moment I thought I saw her mother's image when I was younger, the first time I saw her was also when I first fought, she had those same resolute eyes, eyes that wouldn't accept defeat. 

  "Very well, I will accept you, from now on you will be part of my family and we will fight together against Farus, welcome."  (I) 

  "Open the gate!!!"  (I) 

  ———- 

  Pov Zenos: 

  After eating I was listening to everyone's report about the tasks I gave yesterday, I received the maps they drew, I received a list with the potions we have and their amounts, I listened to the reports about the various races in the village, the reports about the weapons and equipment from the village, I also listened as they healed the various wounded and those who were suffering from curses. 

  Everyone did what I had already said, the next time I meet with the leader of this village it will be to discuss how to put my plan into practice. 

  "(Master, something interesting seems to be happening at the village gates, see.)" (Nix) 

  Soon I heard Nix talking, but this time she spoke in my head through our connection just like Layla does, normally she only talks through my shadow, maybe she doesn't want to draw attention from others. 

  I share Nix's vision and see the city walls below, it looks like Nix is ​​flying while watching what happens below. 

  Soon I see many warriors and archers on top of the walls along with the village leader, in a short time hundreds of creatures appear, as well as the Lamias, these creatures have the upper part of the body like human women, but the lower part of the body is of Spiders, unlike Lamias that the lower part of the body is snakes, another thing I noticed was that they have two pairs of eyes, because of their characteristics they seem to be Arachne, I saw many of these in games, I'm glad this world has the same names for the most creatures, saves me a lot of work. 

  Through Nix's eyes, I see that many of these Arachnes are injured, among them, one stands in front and seems to talk to the village leader who is on top of the walls, soon the gates open and they enter. 

  It seems that many are injured, some are even being carried. 

  "(Thanks for showing me this.)" (I) 

  "(Actually it was a warrior who saw me on the way and warned me about what was happening, so I came to see.)" (Nix) 

  "(You can come back, I'll tell Irina and Vanessa to go help in the treatment of these Arachnees.)" (I) 

  "(Okay.)" (Nix) 

  "Did something happen, master?"  (Ivan) 

  When I opened my eyes I saw everyone looking at me with concern, to them it must have seemed like I suddenly closed my eyes and stopped talking, I have to be more careful not to worry everyone unnecessarily. 

  "I'm fine, I was talking to Nix, it looks like a few hundred more people have arrived in the village, they are injured."  (I) 

  "Irina and Vanessa, could you two help with their treatment?"  (I) 

  "Alright, I'll go now."  (Irina) 

  "If it's only a few hundred then it's going to be easier than it was yesterday, it should only take a few hours."  (Vanessa) 

  "Don't try too hard."  (I) 

  After the two left, they must be going to offer to help treat these Arachnes. 

  After that, I keep talking to the others and finding out a few more things, so after I'm done with that I go to my room and let go of Layla who is trapped in Irina's chains of light. 

  After releasing her I talk to her a bit to calm down, it seems that even though she was stuck for a while she was still angry at the Necromancer, but who can blame her. 

  I spent the rest of the night next to Layla while doing some different things, the day was a bit boring for me, I spent most of the day inside the Dungeon. 

  I think tomorrow I'll meet with the village leader to start the plan, I want to end all this soon before unforeseen events happen. 

  At the end of the night, I go to bed early, I want to be well-rested for tomorrow. 

  Zzzzzzz…
