I, the Geo Archon Morax with 2.1 Billion Mora, Have Joined a Chat Group [270]

"That's enough."

The cloaked elf, watching the butler in the suit get knocked down yet again, finally lost his patience. His voice was low, but carried a clear edge of irritation.

He stepped forward, his expression cold, and walked toward the young man collapsed on the floor, too weak to even lift himself.

Then, slowly, he raised his arm—aiming it directly at the motionless butler.

“Die. And may your next life be less pitiful than this one.” His voice was flat, emotionless. “Human lives are fragile.”

“Famine, plague, war, the limits of their bodies… Any one disaster, and they fall like leaves in autumn.”

“Even the weakest magical beasts are beyond the power of an ordinary human to resist.”

“...Tch. Never mind.”

Realizing he'd started rambling, the elf fell silent. He gripped his spear tightly, then thrust it down toward the butler’s chest.

BOOM!

A deafening crash tore through the corridor. The wall near the elf exploded.

Chunks of blue-gray stone burst outward in a hail of rubble, scattering in every direction.

One large shard struck the masked figure beside the speaker—and punched clean through him.

Blood sprayed from the holes in his body, pouring out like a fountain.

BOOM!

Another explosion. A massive force struck the spear-wielding elf in the face.

CRASH CRASH CRASH!

His body was flung backward like a ragdoll, slamming into the ground, bouncing again and again before finally smashing into a far wall. The impact left behind a massive, man-shaped crater.

Then, through the falling dust and debris, he collapsed to the floor.

“That was a pretty good punch, huh?”

A crisp voice rang out from the massive hole in the wall.

And then, the butler saw her.

A beast—so strange, so terrifying—that he froze in place.

Her upper half was a beautiful, innocent-looking girl.

Her lower half… a monstrous spider, the stuff of nightmares.

She walked with a relaxed, almost casual grace, six spider legs clicking softly against the broken tiles as she stepped over the ruins toward him.

“No—!”

The butler clutched the infant in his arms even tighter.

Kumoko blinked, a little surprised at his reaction. Then she shook her head and raised a hand, casting a healing spell.

As the warm light settled over his battered body, the butler froze.

“You...”

“I’m on your side. Well—" the spider-girl lifted a finger to her cherry-pink lips, her voice soft—"maybe not exactly your side. But let’s say we share a common enemy.”

“Right, Potimas Harrifenas—patriarch of the elves.”

“Hmph!”

A cold snort came from the shattered wall. The elf who’d been sent flying earlier rose to his feet, brushing the dust off his cloak, his gaze sharp and narrow.

“Who are you? One of Ariel’s new pets? How do you know that name?”

“Or is Ariel herself nearby, lying in wait to ambush me?”

“Nope, the Demon Lord’s not here.” Kumoko shrugged like it was the most natural thing in the world. “But I did accept a request from her—with my senpai here—to come kill you.”

“...Hn?”

Potimas’s expression didn’t change in the slightest.

“Kill me?”

He actually chuckled.

“With that weird body of yours? You think you can kill me?”

His narrow eyes gleamed with disdain. He sneered.

But Kumoko had already tossed an Appraisal at him.

【Unable to Appraise】

—Not “Appraisal Obstructed”… but “Unable to Appraise” at all?

—Yep. Anyone Ariel wants dead this badly isn’t going to be ordinary.

—But... I’ve got my senpai backing me. I’m not scared of you.

Confidence surged in her chest.

Kumoko extended a finger and beckoned, smirking mockingly at the elven patriarch.

“Tch.”

Potimas snorted again and suddenly stomped the ground.

A shockwave thundered out. The entire castle trembled.

Cracks spread outward like spiderwebs beneath his feet. The stone tiles splintered, sending shards flying in every direction.

“You’re just another of Ariel’s pets. Even that girl shook when she saw me. Heh… Technically speaking, she’s my biological daughter, you know.”

Kumoko dropped into a stance she’d just learned from the chat group: the "Water Severing Fist" pose from a karate manga.

She waited for Potimas’s strike.

And the very next instant—he was right in front of her.

“Anti-Magic Field: Activate!”

The words spilled from his mouth just as he attacked.

In that same instant, Kumoko felt it.

The entire world had changed.

She blinked, caught off-guard—but her body didn’t stop moving.

With swift reflexes, she launched him into the air with an aerial throw, then leapt back several hundred meters, dragging the butler and baby with her.

As soon as there was distance, she focused.

What changed?

—Sight, sound, touch, smell, taste... all normal.

—But something was definitely different.

It felt like this entire piece of the world had been peeled away from the planet itself.

Like being thrown naked into an arctic wasteland while blindfolded.

A deep, instinctual wrongness clawed at her chest.

—What is this...?

"The skill system is being blocked," Zhongli’s voice came from her side, calm and steady.

“Huh?”

Kumoko twisted to look at him.

“That anti-magic field around Potimas blocks magic and system-linked powers. It prevents them from functioning in this area.”

Zhongli looked toward the slowly approaching Potimas.

“Which means—inside this space, you can’t use any magic, skills, or even stat-based abilities.”

“But… some powers tied directly to your body still function.”

“For example, abilities that were always a part of you.”

“Ohhhh~~!”

Kumoko lit up with understanding.

Across the rubble, Potimas also heard the explanation—and his expression turned grim.

“How do you know so much about this field?” he growled.

“Oh? And why wouldn’t I know?”

Zhongli replied without a hint of surprise, voice as placid as ever.
