NOVEL NEXT Chapter 910: Bizzare Loot
Villain Ch 910. Bizzare Loot
An announcement appeared in front of Allen, indicating his companions' victory.
[Congratulations! You have defeated Arcanis!]
[You received The Spider Queen's head 1 ea, the Spider Queen's womb 1 ea, the Spider Queen's liquid 1 bottle, and 10932 Coins.]
Allen cringed as he read the loot notifications. 'The head and the womb? Does she still want to make me her husband even after she's dead?' he thought with a mixture of disbelief and disgust. The icons for the items didn't help ease his discomfort.
The spider queen's severed head, rather than being a gruesome trophy, was depicted with a strange smile and an 'O' shaped mouth, as if she was satisfied with something in her final moments. The Spider Queen's liquid was a strange, transparent milky substance that made Allen question its value and usability. He couldn't imagine it selling for a high price on the market.

'I wonder whose idea this was,' Allen thought again, shaking his head slightly. The developer's design of the trap had been challenging and intriguing, but the perverted nature of the spider queen and the cringe-worthy loot left much to be desired.
He wondered if the others had received similarly strange and uncomfortable items. Allen expected the girls to complain about their loot, but he was quickly proven wrong. Their voices, filled with excitement and satisfaction, echoed through the cavern as they checked their rewards.
Vivian's eyes sparkled as she examined her haul. "I got Spider Queen's golden threads!" she exclaimed, holding up the shimmering strands. "These are incredibly rare. I can use them to enhance my armor."
Bella, her nine tails flicking with excitement, grinned widely. "Same here! These threads are worth a fortune. They'll sell for a high price on the market, or maybe I can use them to craft something extraordinary."
Alice was equally pleased. "I've got the golden threads too."
Shea's eyes gleamed with delight as she held up a sparkling gem. "I got the queen's diamond heart. It says this is a powerful artifact. It's going to boost my abilities significantly."
Jane and Zoe compared their loot, both holding identical ruby amulets. "Ruby Spider Amulet," Jane said with a grin. "I guess I will wear it."
"Absolutely," Zoe agreed. "The enchantments on this thing are top-notch."
Larissa examined a large, venomous fang encrusted with jewels. "I got Jewel-Encrusted Venom Fang," she said, her voice filled with satisfaction. "This will be worth a lot of money!"
Allen listened to their enthusiastic chatter, feeling a mix of relief and amusement. 'So I'm the only one who got this bizarre loot?' he thought. The thought of sharing his own strange rewards crossed his mind, but he decided against it. He didn't want to dampen their excitement with his own discomfort.
"Seems like everyone made out pretty well," Shea said, her smile broad.
Allen clapped his hands, the sound echoing through the cavern. "Congratulations, you guys are amazing. Your teamwork is top-notch!" he said as he approached the spot where Arcanis lay defeated.
The girls turned to him, their expressions a mix of pride and satisfaction. "Thank you," Alice replied, her voice carrying a note of genuine appreciation.
Allen nodded, then raised his hand over Arcanis's lifeless body. Dark energy began to gather around his hand, coalescing into a swirling vortex of shadow and power. "Contract," he muttered.
The dark energy intensified. Tendrils of shadow snaked out from Allen's hand, wrapping around Arcanis's body. The shadows seeped into the spider queen's chitinous exoskeleton, merging with her form and infusing her with Allen's dark power.
Arcanis's body twitched, a faint glow emanating from within her. The dark energy pulsed, spreading through her limbs and up to her human torso. Her eyes, once dim and lifeless, began to glow with an eerie red light. Slowly, she lifted her head, her movements jerky and unnatural at first, then growing smoother as the dark energy took hold.
With a final surge of power, Arcanis rose to her full height, her spider legs unfurling and her human half straightening. She bowed her head deeply, her eyes locking onto Allen with an unsettling intensity. "Master~," she intoned, her voice dripping with a strange, almost flirtatious subservience. "I pledge my loyalty to you <3."
Allen shivered involuntarily, a chill running down his spine. There was something deeply unsettling about her tone and the way she looked at him. The mixture of flirtation and servitude in her voice made his skin crawl. He tried to mask his discomfort, keeping his expression neutral.
Arcanis took a step closer and leaned towards him. "You have revived me, given me a new purpose. I am yours to command…" she said. "In any way you desire," she continued, her voice a silky purr that only heightened Allen's unease, especially the words "In any way you desire".
He forced a smile, his mind racing with the implications of having such a creature bound to his will. "Good," he said, his voice steady despite his inner turmoil. "You will serve me and my companions faithfully."
Arcanis bowed her head again, her eyes never leaving his. "As you command, Master~" Again, she said it with a flirtatious purr.
Allen couldn't hide his unease any longer. With a wave of his hand, he dismissed Arcanis. "You are dismissed!" The spider queen bowed deeply, her red eyes glinting with that unsettling mix of loyalty and flirtation. "As you wish, Master," she purred before her form dissolved into dark energy, vanishing from sight.
As he turned back to his companions, Jane approached with a curious expression. "So, Allen, what did you get from the Spider Queen?"
Allen froze for a moment, considering how to respond. He knew the items he received were strange and uncomfortable, and he wasn't eager to share the details. "Not much, just some regular stuff," he said, trying to sound nonchalant.
But Larissa, Vivian, and Bella weren't so easily deterred. They exchanged glances before turning their attention back to him, their expressions a mix of curiosity and insistence.
