Chapter 7

Summary
Kumoko is resting after the narrow escape from the swarm of Elroe Ferects when a Elroe Baladorado enters the cave Kumoko is resting in. The huge monster snake promptly attacks and Kumoko is forced into a defensive fight as she figures out how to take the Baladorado down. After a furious fight, Kumoko kills the Baladorado and levels up several times at once and reaches Level 10, raising the level of several skills and hitting the evolution threshold. Reviewing her evolution options, Small Taratect and Lesser Taratect, Kumoko decides to evolve into a Small Taratect. Upon starting the evolution, Kumoko promptly passes out.

Waking up, Kumoko promptly eats the entire Baladorado, despite the fact it was several times larger than herself. Kumoko then continues her journey, spending skill points on and experimenting with her skills as she goes, though the [Detection] skill proved unusable. Upon reaching Level 6, [Appraisal] starts providing numerical statistics. Kumoko's hunting an Elroe Greym unlocks the titles [Assassin] and [Monster Slayer]. Before she can eat her prey however, her hunt is interrupted by party of humans. Upon seeing their levels, Kumoko flees and the humans give chase which ends with her falling down a pit.
