I continued following the map. On my way I found a strange huge mountain... I checked the map to see that this mountain was actually near Ironsteel Village!
I am not an idiot... I am pretty sure that this mountain could have something to do with the quest, so I went to climb the mountain just to find a cave, so I went inside of it.
Going inside the cave I found a lot of spiders, but thankfully I got stealth! With stealth, I am pretty sure that as long as I don't touch those spiders' silk traps, I won't be exposed!
I walked deeper and deeper into the cave... Until I found something special! A huge spider was laying it's eggs... No, a lot of spiders were laying their eggs! I wondered for a moment if I should throw some bombs but went against it at the end.
I kept on walking deeper into a cave... The cave started becoming hotter and hotter, until at some point the spiders started to have fire on them... I think they are special type of spiders!
I kept moving deeper and deeper to the deepest point! It was a 30 minutes of slow walk in total until reaching this point!
I found the Spider Queen, a real Arachne! I looked at her stats and it showed as:-
Arachne (Epic Class Monster ) Lv.45
7,200,000/7,200,000
She actually looked beautiful... at least the upper top of her! Before I could finish admire her looked she looked at me and shouted "Despicable humans! We had an agreement!"
Once I heard her, I was scared shitless, so I started running, while she started chasing me. I didn't care about my Small Electric Bombs right now... All what I cared about is to escape, so in order to kill the small spiders that blocked my way, I threw bombs at them!
I kept on running while the Arachne and her spiders kept following me... I leveled up twice from throwing my bombs at the spider eggs which enraged the Arachne even more!
I was so lucky! All the damage I received was 239! Which left me with 1 HP! so scary!
I exited the cave followed by a huge army chasing after me! I knew this was my only chance to destroy Ironsteel Village, so I led all those monsters to the boarder of the village.
As I approached the village, I passed by so many players that got killed by the spiders, those players numbered in hundreds! There was even a guild that is doing an expedition, with approximately 500 members, most of them were killed by the Arachne getting one shot, while those who were left got killed by the spiders.
I looked toward the village to see that their village wall is under construction and that they were going to be upgraded to a town soon, yet unluckily with the Arachne following behind me, it entered inside the village and lost track of me because of my stealth!
I ran away from the village waiting outside to see what happens next.
The village was now in ruins, and all the poor players that respawned in the village after being killed outside, were killed another time, but are now respawning in another places because this village was no more.

I checked my quests starting with Lord Goblin's regret!
____
Lord Goblin's regret:-
Destroy Ironsteel Village
1/1
I was happy it was done, but then thought about the players that were killed... Does it count as my kills because I was the one who lured the monsters here?
____
Chain quest- Kill 10,000 players and absorb their souls!
2,843/10,000
While undertaking this quest, any player killed by you will suffer a harsher penalty. However, if you are killed by a player you killed before, your level will reset to 0.
____
It did count! I checked what is left of my Small Electric Bombs, turn out I had 6 left! Well... After I complete this quest I will probably be abl-
My thoughts were cut hearing the screams of the Arachne "I curse you forever humans! you killed my kids! I CURSE YOOOOUU!"
It sounded like what a boss will say when they have only 5% HP left...
I ran toward the direction she screamed from to see 8 people dressing in white fighting her, they all had crosses with them... 3 of them were Clerics, 2 of them Paladins, and 2 Priests. For Clerics, they had books with a cross on them, while Paladins swords looked like a cross... Priests just used a regular cross to cast their spells!
I checked Arachne's HP:-
Arachne ( Epic Class Monster ) Lv.45
48,529/7,200,000
I looked at the Paladins who were going to attack the Arachne right now... His attack actually deals more than 9000 damage! Holy crap, if they attacked me I will die with 1 hit!
I equipped my Horn Crossbow and waited! I was going to attempt to kill steal the Arachne!
As its health dropped to less than 10,000 HP; I shot my arrow at it to hear the most satisfying sound.
-You have killed a target 37 levels above your level! 740% extra EXP! Received 108864 EXP-

I increased my AGI, DEX, CRT to 30 without waiting, and I still had 48 more points, so I decided to make both INT and STR 30 too!

Those are some decent skills! But I wonder what happened to the INT? Did someone reach 30 INT already? Dang... I should have added points to INT instead of CRT! Well, the skill I got of CRT is amazing! Way too amazing! All the next stats point I will get after this moment I will just put into AGI so I can know how many points are left until the next rewards!
As I was thinking and being happy of the good rewards I gained, I saw the 7 people in white coming toward me... I didn't know what to do at the moment, but I thought if I am lucky I could talk to them instead of being killed mercilessly!
