Chapter 44

Summary
Kumoko realises she has fallen into Mother's trap as she faces off against the army that was waiting for her in her home. As the Arch Taratects begin to attack, Kumko realises her back has been damaged by a graze from mother and struggles to dodge the attacks. One of the Arch Taratects manages to catch and pin Kumko but she uses [Earth Magic] to push it away and escapes.

Completely on the defensive against the five Arch Taratects, Kumoko starts losing limbs as she is pushed back. Realising she needs to escape, Kumoko casts Poison Fog to create an opening before making a break for the Middle Stratum, with the Arch Taratects close on her tail.

As she approaches the Middle Stratum, Kumoko sees a strange doll like monster, a Puppet Taratect, waiting ahead. The Puppet Taratect jumps into action and Kumoko is forced to sacrifice her scythe legs to avoid getting killed.

Taking stock of the situation, Kumoko finds herself badly injured and outnumbered while surrounded by the 4 Arch Taratects and the Puppet Taratect.
