Chapter 37

37-1
Kumoko begins the slaughter and kills another eight humans instantly. One of the survivors charges her and Kumoko decides to experiment, mimicking the magic rune Araba used to create earth spikes, killing the charging man instantly.

The summoner calls forth four monsters to his aid and has them attack. Kumoko allows the first two to land hits in the hope of raising her resistance stats but when the tiger tries to pounce, she just kills it, acquiring the [Earth Magic] skill in the process. Kumoko then decides to mimic the spells the fish and bird familiars are using and returns fire, killing them both. Kumoko turns her attention to the humans, but the turtle blocks her. Defending against her magic attacks, Kumoko uses [Jinx Evil Eye] and it dies in moments.

Returning her attention to the remaining humans, she sees the old mage trying to teleport them away. Kumoko doesn't plan to let them survive though.

37-2
The summoner starts summoning weak summons on mass to slow Kumoko down and buy the mage time to activate the teleportation spell. Kumoko quickly switches from skill grinding and starts attacking in earnest, hurling Black Spears at the humans. The onslaught is so brutal several of the humans flee the battle until only the mage and summoner are still alive. Using a phantasm to distract the defending summoner, and launches a Black Spear right at the old mage but the summoner pushes him out the way at the last second and takes the hit instead as the pair teleport away.

The battle over, Kumoko notes she tagged all six survivors, allowing the four soldiers to flee to show her where the exit is. Reflecting on how killing the soldiers will impact her ability to interact with humans, Kumoko decides her stance will be an eye for an eye, so respect begets respect whilst violence begets violence. She decides to put of worrying about it until after she gets outside, for now she needs to face off against Earth Dragon Araba.
