The Lord of Another World: All Wasted at the Beginning, and He Made His Fortune by Taking in the Fem

When the lava lake completely cooled down in the blink of an eye and turned into a piece of solidified obsidian, a strange and harsh sound like metal twisting and deforming came from there.

It was as if the monster in a horror movie was breaking free of its last restraints - and now everyone was facing an inescapable nightmare.

"This doesn't look good! Everyone who hasn't reached level 4 should return to the mine immediately and find a way to transport some magic source stones here! We will handle this!"

Although he was clearly far away from where the mysterious object had landed, the feeling of oppression on his body became stronger and stronger.

Aarons, aware of the threat, did not dare to be careless at all. He even took the initiative to retreat a distance to give Karin enough space to deal with the enemy that might appear at any time.

"Master, that guy is coming out!"

"How could it be so fast——"

Before Aarons could calculate the possible situation, a large hole suddenly exploded in the ground in the distance.

Reflecting the cold metallic luster, the huge mechanical limbs with a twisted structure yet exuding a strange beauty penetrated the obsidian barrier unhindered and slowly and heavily drilled out of the ground.

At this time, Aarons finally saw the other party's full appearance.

——It was a giant mechanical spider that was comparable in size to a large monster, reflecting a silvery-white luster all over its body, and seemed to have traveled from a future sci-fi world.

And at the front end of the round ellipsoidal body, more than a dozen flickering compound eyes are like burning flames, emitting a beautiful and dangerous pale blue light.

"grumble--"

The moment the mechanical spider's body broke out of the ground, an incomprehensible sharp cry instantly pierced the surrounding air.

Aarons, who was totally unprepared, even temporarily lost his hearing and his brain was almost shut down by the shock.

[Search, observe, analyze - confirm the target and start the close-range annihilation procedure.]

"The target is you, Karin—"

When Aarons issued a warning in his mind, the wolf girl with black hair and golden eyes immediately got into a fighting posture.

Her whole body tensed up instantly, and the spiritual power stored in her body gathered in her hands.

However, the huge spider crawled at an incredible speed at this time - in just a few breaths, it had moved to a position just a few meters in front of Karin.

"So fast!? Avoid first!"

My consciousness and thinking are completely unable to keep up with the other party's speed.

Before Aarons even had time to calculate the opponent's possible attack trajectory, the mechanical spider suddenly raised its sharp pair of forelimbs and slashed towards Karin's body like two giant swords.

No, there's no time to give instructions!

“Hahaha—”

Fortunately, Karin had developed sharp reflexes through countless battles. When her opponent raised his sword-like forelimbs, she took a big step forward and smashed her fist covered with dark red crystals directly at those blue compound eyes.

Offense is the best defense!

"grumble--!"

However, just before Karin's fist was about to hit the opponent, the shrill scream suddenly rang out again.

In addition to the sound that was enough to shatter eardrums, the giant spider even released a strong shock wave from its head. Karin, who had never expected the opponent to have such a backup plan, instantly lost her balance and was blown away.

[Analysis, detection, and re-evaluation. Confirm that the enemy target has advanced motor functions, re-activate the energy-sweeping device, and try to disable the target.]

The sound of mental resonance sounded in his mind again, and Aarons was surprised to find that sharp mouthparts like fangs suddenly extended from under the spider's compound eyes.

That's its new weapon!

"Watch out for those teeth! It'll use that to absorb energy!"

Karin didn't know why Aarons could recognize the other party's ability so quickly, but her absolute trust in Aarons made her prepare to respond immediately.

"Understood! I'm going to use all my strength now! Please be safe!"

——After readjusting her posture, Karin immediately switched her target to the opponent's limbs.

Although the several pairs of metal limbs used to support the body look quite strong, the joints are very fragile.

"serge--"

The huge but extremely agile spider made a meaningless chirping sound again, and then all its limbs moved at high speed and rushed directly towards Karin.

[The joint of the third limb on the left side has flaws when moving. ]

Aarons gradually adapted to his opponent's speed and reluctantly gave combat instructions.

Since he couldn't judge the enemy's specific combat power, he could only temporarily give up the ability to predict and calculate, and use all his perception to find the opponent's flaws.

He also believed that Karin could find opportunities to attack on her own.

“——I saw it!”

At the critical moment, Karin dodged the opponent's slashing forelimbs and suddenly extended fangs, stomped her feet on the ground, jumped up, and jumped to the place where Aarons indicated.

That's the joint!

The condensed spiritual energy instantly formed sharp and sturdy brass knuckles on Karin's fingers, and then she swung her fist with all her strength - the spider's arthropod joints had some flaws due to stretching, and her fist would never let go of this weakness.

"Break it for me!"

The fierce fist wrapped in heat hit the joint of the limb accurately, and the solid limb broke under the collision of huge force.

The spider, which was originally turning its body quickly to track Karin, suddenly lost a leg and its movements immediately slowed down - and Karin did not miss this opportunity. She directly grabbed the broken joint to regain her balance, and then took the opportunity to jump onto the spider's ellipsoidal body.

[It can't attack that location! Now! ]

"You ugly iron monster... just fall down right here! [Blood Tide of the Earth]!"

Although there was very little spiritual energy left in his body, the punch that could turn the calm earth into a roaring volcano still released incredible power.

Pure psionic energy gushed out of Karin's fist, pure heat that could melt even rock and dirt, and violently exploded on the spider's body.

——The light produced at that moment was as if the sun was rising from the horizon.

“…Stopped?”

When the light completely faded, Aarons finally saw the outcome of the battle.

The mechanical spider with a broken leg was smashed directly into the ground by Karin's earth-shaking punch and had completely stopped moving.

Karin, who had almost exhausted her strength, staggered off the spider's body.

"It's done, Master."

"Really? Then...wait!"

However, just after Karin turned around and made a gesture, Aarons suddenly realized that there seemed to be something wrong with the spider whose half body was sunk into the ground.

...Why are there no signs of attack on its body?

[Beep - Confirmed that the enemy target has received mental assistance during combat.]

[Searching, locking, analyzing. It has been determined that the source of the abnormal mental power is another human individual.]

[Correcting action priority, starting hostile support individual capture procedures. ]
