Chapter 50

50-1
Kumoko stands at the entrance to the Bottom Stratum of the Great Elroe Labyrinth and decides now is the time to strike at Mother, who has been isolated from any allies.

Kumoko drops in and checks that Mother’s stats are weakened, but before she can strike, Kumoko finds herself stuck in place by Mother’s webs. Annoyed at falling for such an obvious trap, Kumoko cuts her legs off to escape Mother’s attacks and flees into the air. Dodging a breath attack in midair, Kumoko suddenly finds the room shrinking and realizes the entire room is a trap as she gets caught.

50-2
Trapped, Kumoko tries to flee with magic but finds her spell is being blocked. Unable to retaliate, Kumoko is pushed onto the defensive as Mother unleashes a ruthless offensive.

As she is pushed to the brink, Kumoko realizes that this was caused by her hubris.

Just as things are starting to look extremely grim, multiple healing magic spells are cast at once, restoring her broken form. With the exception of the Body Brain, all the other parallel minds have returned. Their return heralds a huge stat boost for Kumoko, caused by the stolen energy from Mother.

Mother continues her attack, but now Kumoko can return fire, countering Mother’s next breath attack with one of her own.
