Chapter 218: Giant Mountain Spider and Ominous Fox<hr>
I moved to the spring in the Yellow Ossa Mountains, and what I saw was a lot of fireflies. Oh my God, I''ve never seen that before. I''m impressed.
While watching the fireflies, Setia, Mir and I try to collect some. As I looked around, I found something I hadn''t expected.
<b>Wasabi: Rarity 4 Ingredient Item Quality D-</b>
<b>A grass with a strong, pungent vor. It can be eaten as food.</b>
Ah~, now that I''ve seen wasabi, I want to eat soba even more! Other than that, wasabi is used for sashimi, meat dishes and even pickled vegetables.
This makes me honestly happy. We finished collecting and thanked nature.
Now, let''s go exploring. Our group consisted of Nowa, Ribina, Gale, Aranea and Kitsuneko.
As we proceeded through the forest, Kitsuneko sensed something. Then we hear the distinctive sound of wings.
<b>Elephant Beetle?</b>
<b>? ? ?</b>
What appeared as it knocked down the tree was an elephant-sized beetle. I''m not surprised by this size anymore.
And I was lucky toe when Aranea and Kitsuneko were there.
First, Nowa stopped the movement with shadow binding. After that, Aranea tied it up with his hard thread and we all beat it up.
But halfway through, the hard threads broke and it started to rampage.
"Not knowing when to give up~. What are you going to do? Takuto"
"...Is it a pseudo-dragon?"
"No, it''s a waste of time. Let''s just go for it"
Then Gale sits down in front of me.
"Gau!"
I feel like Gale is saying I will do it.
"Okay. Gale, you''re in charge"
Gale res at the Elephant Beetle and shouts.
"Gaaaa!!!"
Then Gale bes lightning incarnate. That''s lightningfication!
The next moment, a huge bolt of lightning pierces the Elephant Beetle. It doesn''t paralyze, but the lightning bounces off of the tree as if it were reflecting off of it, piercing the Elephant Beetle again.
From that point on, it was Gale''s sole domain. The Elephant Beetle tried desperately to attack, but it was ineffective against the lightning-struck Gale and it continued to be pierced by the giant lightning until it was defeated.
"Gaaaa!"
Gale rides the Elephant Beetle and lets out a yell of victory. And then Galees to me.
"That was awesome, Gale"
"...Hmm. It was strong"
"And you were beautiful!"
Gale seemed to be less than pleased with everyone''s praise. But lightningfication was the same price as dragonification. It''s that strong. It may have been a waste...but it paid off. The information ising.
Aranea''s level has reached 16. Evolution possible
Kitsunekos level has reached 16. Evolution possible
Let''s look at Aranea first. There''s only one way to evolve.
Tsuchigumo.
Ah, the famous spider youkai of Minamoto no Yorimitsu.
When Minamoto no Yorimitsu was sick in bed, a spider tried to attack him, but it was cut down like a knee by his famous sword, Hizamaru and he chased the spider to the mountain to kill it. The story goes that Minamoto no Yorimitsu was cured of his illness after defeating the spider and that after defeating the spider, he was called Spider Cutter.
I don''t know if it''s true or not, but I''ve heard that he lived in Katsuragi Mountain in Nara Prefecture. Let''s have a look at the exnation.
<b>Tsuchigumo</b>
<b>A giant spider that lives in caves in the mountains. It is extremely ferocious, but also has the wisdom to trap people. It can manipte powerful threads and use its strength to throw rocks and other objects.</b>
Let''s try to evolve it as soon as possible.<hr>

The evolved Aranea became a giant spider with the face of a demon.
What''s remarkable is the thread? It used to be a hard thread, but now that it''s a steel thread, let''s see how it''s changed. The steel thread spat out from its mouth prated the wood...yeah. If you use it on a human, the human body will be torn apart.
In addition, the adhesive threads can be used for traps, but they fly far away and the power to reel them back in allows for wire action. I''d like to give Aranea the title of Spider-Man.
But when I said that, Aranea used change. Did it change into me? I thought so, but I was wrong.
There was a girl in front of me who looked like a Japanese doll. Wait a minute...why would she turn into a girl?
I looked up the legendter and found that Tsuchigumo could turn into a woman. Still, it wasn''t a description of turning into a little girl. I guess I need to discuss with Aranea why it turned into a little girl.
Kitsuneko was next. There is only one evolution destination.
Youko
It''s a fox yokai. Let''s take a look at the description.
<b>Youko</b>
<b>A fox that has awakened to sorcery and be a youkai. It disguises itself as a human and seduces people. It can control two types of attributes: fire and darkness.</b>
Hmm, let''s evolve it then.<hr>

The evolved Kitsuneko now had three tails and a gray body.
I asked him to show me what he could do and he used change. What appeared was Ion.
However, she had fox ears on her head, three tailsing from her hips, her chest was the size of Wako and she was sweating in her bare kimono. Kitsuneko, you''ve grown into a horrible guy!
"Huu~...should we go home?"
""...Are you upset?""
What are Nowa and Ribina talking about? How could I be upset?
I''m done evolving, so I''ll dismantle.
Nothing came out...there was an evolution and that''s good.
However, I want to know what the evolved Aranea and Kitsuneko are capable of, so I can''t let this end like this. That''s why I decided to continue through the forest.<hr>
