Chapter 25

25-1
Realising she had accidentally looped back, Kumoko tries to escape but the attacks from the enemy monsters are far to synchronised and precise. Realising she cannot hold back, Kumoko activates all her stat boosting skills and escapes to the ceiling, but soon finds herself surrounded. Kumoko ponders how to escape but realises their extreme precision actually makes dodging easier so she just needs to keep moving.

Kumoko casts the Level 6 [Poison Magic] spell, Poison Fog, as a wide area attack to thin out the weaker monsters while remaining on the defensive. A pair of Elroe Gunerush try to body slam Kumoko but are cut down. Using one as a stepping stone, Kumoko has to dodge a blast from the Elroe Gunesohka, which takes out several of its own minions. Seeing an Elroe Gunerave about to blast her, Kumoko creates a huge ball of poison to block the attack but the impacting fireball causes to burst into a poison rain, coating many of the minions below. Seeing how effective this is, Kumoko uses their fireball attacks against them to create more poison rain.

All the dying minions cause Kumoko to level up, but her moulting causes her to slip off the ceiling and the Gunesohka aims a huge breath attack at the plummeting Kumoko.

Kumoko creates a ball of poison in an attempt to save herself, but is blindsided by a shot from a nearby Gunerave. Luckily, Kumoko lands on a rock but the impact took all of her HP. The Gunerave tried to body slam Kumoko but is met with a [Rot Attack], disintegrating it and allowing Kumoko to level up twice more.

Surveying the scene as she moults on the rock, Kumoko sees the lesser enemies have been wiped out so only the Gunesohka and three Guneraves remain. The four are hit with [Cursed Evil Eye] to weaken them so paralysis will take hold. The four unleash a furious barrage of attacks to bring down Kumoko but she holds out until the three Guneraves are paralysed, leaving only the Gunesohka standing. The Gunesohka wraps itself in flames and charges.
