Four eyes.
Eight tendrils.
Unbeknownst to this Lust Beast, he had grown in size, if only by a unnoticeable amount.
Its spider victim was simply a stepping stone for its path to down the road of evil and corruption.
But, as any monster has, humans are bound to somehow mess with its path, if it be on accident or purposely.
Humans have, will, and can mess up anything this world has created.
A plague, a poison, a cancer.
But… perhaps the humans that messed with this monsters path… created something much worse than it was originally going to be?
. . .
“Do we really need to be on the third floor..?” The petty female adventurer, who held a long stic- staff with a blue circular gem at its tip, nervously followed behind the two brutes in front of her. She was clearly scared, with her trembling legs and how she held her staff close to her chest with both arms, as well as her teary eyes which gave her nothing more than a cute and helpless expression and posture.
“It’s fine! Haha! We just need you to get to level four so we can take on some goblins!” The tallest brute held a greatsword in both hands, and swung down mercilessly at a spider that was raising its two legs to seem threatening, but the small size made it nearly impossible for anyone to actually fear it.
But surprisingly, the girl let out a surprised yelp at the site of the spider raising its legs, but her face turned to satisfaction a few moments after the spider was spit in two.
And the other adventurer… was more or less the same, besides the height difference. Although he didn’t seem to speak that much, his head was constantly filled with thoughts and useless information, befitting of a brute like him.
His armor, as well as his fellow brutes armor, was leather with a few metal pieces scattered along it, such as a metal pauldron or a metal shin guard. Their appearance was the normal adventurer appearance, a scruffy beard, messy hair, and a lot of body hair…
The girl adventurer was nearly the exact opposite. No visible body hair, no beard, and clean and straight brown hair, that ran down to her waist. Her chest however… definitely small, around a C size, and no were near the realm of D cup.
Her chest, although being flat, was made up for by her round ass and apple shaped thighs, which swayed every so slightly as she took steps. No doubt, if she got her breasts to increase size, she’d be the ideal whore or brothel worker.
But she was a simple adventurer instead. No problem with that.
“Y-You know, we’re getting pretty d-deep… if we get to the fourth level..” Stopping in her tracks, she looked over her shoulder towards the black abyss they were crossing. Even with the few torches scattered along the walls of this cave, they were so spaced out to the point you had to bring your own.
“Don’t worry. We’re about to get to the safe point, so it’ll be fine. They only ever have the occasional spider or snake, so we can take a break there!” Shouldering his great sword, he looked over to the other adventurer for some sign of agreement, which he received in the form of nodding.
“See! It’s right over here!” Sheathing his sword on his back, he walked over to the wooden door that had a lantern hanging off to its side and opened it, and held it open for the girl to enter.
“T-Thanks…” Although her staff had begun to glow red, to show an enemy was near, she was distracted at the idea of not having to deal with any more monster encounters. Ironic, isn’t it?
. . .
Although this creature was smart, and had a 360 degree view of its surroundings due to the one large eye, and three smaller eyes attached to its body, it had no way of smelling the air.
Meaning, the stench of human sweat and the stench a goblin gave off was unknown to it, and it had no idea that smelling was something so useful. It understood the concept, due to its skill 'Tainted Intellect', but other than that, it didn't know much.
But it could hear things, and because of that it knew humans were on there way towards its small room.
Humans... its intelligence told it humans were weak and easily killed creatures, but that was the information it had gotten from the brain it had consumed, and the spider brain it had eaten told it the exact opposite..
So it climbed the wall, sticking its tendrils in between the cracks and climbed above the doorway, and activated its camouflage skill.
Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.
Due to its low level, it only changed the skin color to the color of the surface it was on, which was dark grey.
But combined with the darkness in the room, and the dark color it had transformed into, it blended in surprisingly well.
Although, it didn't realize its own luck.
It anchored itself in by digging into the wall with its tendrils, locking itself in place, just as the door began to open.
"T-Thanks..." It... understood what the human said? And, it recognized the gender immediately due to the voice... a female.
And due to its ever increasing libido... (Skill: 'Steady Libido'), it had the desire of expelling its juices.
First, the girl stepped in and moved towards the rough center, then one of the males, and then the shorter male stayed at the doors entrance.
If this beast was normal, it would've attacked without hesitation... but it knew that if it did, it would definitely get killed.
So it used its spider silk.
Lowering down slowly... inch by inch... until it was right above the male. He was clouded in darkness, and the only torch was held by the girl, who was across the room.
And so, dropping slowly, and barely touching the man's back, it slithered its tendrils around his neck, hovering above his skin just enough so that it didn't touch, and then it attacked.
Latching around his neck, and then using another tendril to go inside his mouth, it expelled its venom into the mans mouth, slithering down his throat, injection after injection, and then expelling spider silk out of the tendril that was inside his mouth to block his airflow, the man finally dropped dead.
"W-what was that?" Jumping at the sound of metal hitting the floor, the girl went over towards the other brute and hugged his arm.
Luckily, the hell she was about to go through had yet to come.
The monster was eating away at the man, ripping his arm off with its tendrils, using the door as a, anchor, it pulled apart the man, sticking his body to the floor with silk, and then eating his hand.
And then his legs... then the middle of his stomach... intestines being dragged out and consumed as well, down to his brain.
Until nothing was left.

The movements of this creature changed... it picked up the helmet and sword of the adventurer it had just eaten and began to climb once again.
Climbing right above the head of the male adventurer. Luckily for him, he had a helmet on.
Unluckily for him, the monster knew the attack would be less effective if it dropped the helmet and sword on him now.
So it stuck the sword and helmet to the wall with spider silk, and lowered itself with that same silk. Wait...
What are they doing?
She's... raising herself up to get to his face..
A kiss?
Anger... why was this monster angry?
The monster itself stopped to think about why he felt angry that the girl was being taken by that man...
But it came to the conclusion she would love it soon enough.
And so it began lowering itself behind his head, and unluckily for him, the girl seemed to notice its presence, because her eyes widened and dismay came over her face.
But it was to late. Wrapping its tendrils around his neck, like it had done before, it began crushing his neck, injecting venom into his mouth like it had done previously, and then blocking his airflow by filling his throat with spider silk.
And as the girl ran to the wooden door to escape, the sight of blood and bones of the other adventurer stopped her in her tracks.
And she fainted...
But the monsters too busy eating to care..
