A/N: I have came to a decision that I will not continue doing 7 chapters a week. I'm still too inexperienced after realizing that I've made too many blunders recently. I've spent the time yesterday to fix those. Honestly the mistakes missed wasn't enough to change the story in any way so far, but I'll list the changes so you don't have to find them.

Noah was supposed to had receive a perk for his stamina reaching 50 at chapter 85 which in turn would have Arachne and Fenrir gain perks pre-evolution and change their stats. I won't list those skills here because the skills will change anyways after their evolution, but Fenrir's new perks are;

Faster Recovery has been modified to Berserkers adrenaline: You become lost in the heat of the moment the more tired you are. The lower your stamina becomes, the more you are unfazed to attacks and ailments.

and you can see Arachne's new skill in this chapter.

...

Chapter 100:

"Now let's see how strong you became."

As he spoke, Arachne displayed a proud smile almost as if she was completely assured that her new strength would please him.

"I'm stronger than Fenrir!"

"Gr?"

Fenrir was confused why he was brought into the conversation. 'What does she mean stronger? How does she know?' His mind just couldn't comprehend what was going on.

Noah made sure that he was close enough to his creatures so he wasn't interrupted as he went through his notifications, he was sure that there was gonna be a lot of information just like there was with Fenrir.

[Arachne has finished her evolution, becoming an Impure Queen! She now gains an addition of 10 extra attribute points per level!

[Since Arachne allowed herself to become tainted by you, she has also chosen to follow your path and has obtained the title 'The Fallen'.]

Three skills have been acquired and previous class skills have been modified; Sinful Decree, Wrongful Judgment, Embodiment of Sins]

[Sinful Decree- You are a queen and no one should stand higher than you, for if they do, they are committing a grave sin. When you are opposed, for every heretic opposing you, you can lower any, one stat by half if that stat is higher than yours. If the heretic happens to be the same race as you then you can lower two stats by half, for going against their own Queen is an ever greater sin. Each use consumes 10 mana, when the enemy is inflicted, mana isn't needed to continue the skill.]

[Wrongful Judgment- Imbuing your webs in your tainted mana, you can attach it to those you view are wrongful doers that will punish them when proven guilty. The webs would slowly attempt to imbed itself into the heretics skin and when the stat that was proven sinful by Sinful Decree becomes lower than half of your stat that was blasphemed against, they will be inflicted with your judgement pertaining to that attribute. Consumes 1 mana to imbue your webs for each web used.]

[Embodiment of Sins- All atrocities against you should be punished, when the heretic is under the influence of Sinful Decree and is in the process of being judged, Embodiment of Sins will test their loyalty. Every second will decrease the state being judged by one point per second until their sin has been decided.

[Caught in the eyes of the spider has been modified to Queen's unfair gaze(Lvl 2): Why anticipate an action when you can command it? When your eyes are set on a target, you have a higher chance to manipulate the target's actions .

[Painful Death has been modified to Tainted demise (Lvl 1)-Your poison is more than just a weapon to kill, your poison will now constantly decrease the opponents body stats by .5 points per second.

[Recovering Leap has been modified to Gracious offering(Lvl 1): Choosing a target, as long as both targets allow it, connect yourself with the target, allowing your webs to imbed itself into them. For every 5% of stamina absorbed, only 1% is retained.

[Healing Slumber has been modified to Reconstructing limbs(Lvl 1): No matter if it's your spider legs or human arms, as long as the limb is lost, you can regrow it. A fully lost limb can take up to 24 hours to grow.]

[Danger sense has been modified to Queen's Intuition(Lvl 1): When there's anything that can threaten your hierarchy, your sixth sense will notice. From plotting, to intentions, you will sometimes notice it as long as it is within one of your senses.]

He didn't have to take long reviewing the information he received, but her skills weren't as direct as Fenrir's so he took longer to fully understand her new developed skills. She appeared to be the direct opposite of him.

'Instead of obtaining stats, hers skills seem to focus on lowering the enemies stats. But both are good in their own way. Lowering someone's stats would make it hard to adjust if the decrease is large enough and if a fight is drawn out long enough then it'll only be in her favor.'

But while he was thinking that, his eyes narrowed on two particular things that concerned him with what he saw.

'There it goes calling me tainted again…but what does it mean for her to become a fallen too! She never cared about humans in the first pla- I shouldn't count right? No….her evolution even said that she would be despised by her own kind so it could mean that as well…I should just count this as a blessing because…'

He looked towards the bottom of her stats, to what was causing him the most concern.

'With only 9 magic, she would only have enough mana to use that skill one time in a battle!'

Now he had to change his opinion. Fenrir was completely superior for right now until she was able to increase her mana, but this is also why he was happy that she obtained the title. With it, she can also use the cores to increase not only her skills, but also her magic.

Since Ailetta hadn't arrived yet, he grabbed a handful of cores from his ring to give to Arachne. As soon as the cores appeared, both Fenrir's and Arachne's gaze snapped towards his hands; they didn't have to know what it was, but their bodies were automatically attracted to it. Arachne desired the cores more than she did the cores of the spider.

"Wait your turn Fenrir, I'll give you some in a bit." He dumped the cores into Arachne's, causing a few to fall down and her gasping in panic because of her hands that were surprisingly smaller than his, however the fingers weren't like his at all and appeared more like claws.

Noah picked the rest of them up to give to her why she slowly savored the cores one by one. Noah didn't notice the first time, but after she took her time with the second one he was growing impatient.

"Fine, here Fenrir, since Arachne doesn't want anymore you can have the rest."

Gasp!*

Arachne gasped even louder than before, with both hands still holding cores, she attempted to shove them all in her mouth at once.

"...Just eat them faster, you don't have to try to eat them all at one time." Even though he could tell both Arachne and Fenrir became smarter, they both had their childish moments and were still growing.

Noah was tempted to tease her, but he just needed to see how much of an impact the new cores would have on her so her action right now actually benefited him.

[Your tamed creature Arachne has consumed the mana source of its compatible species. Mana and progression of its skills linked to the mana source has been increased. Due to the title 'The Fallen' you have acquired an affinity to mana and extracted the full amount of mana to increase your magic source.]

"Why are you smiling like that?" Noah was interrupted by Ailetta who was now wearing the full suit of armor. The smile he wore disappeared, but he still wore a small smirk when seeing Ailetta wearing something that didn't match her personality at all.

The two waited for some time while the rest of the people were finishing up retrieving their items. Almost 30 minutes passed until there were signs of people coming out of the dorms.

"We were planning on going through the side gate to avoid the zombie from before, but now that it's not an issue anymore, it'll save us the trouble of making a detour. How do you all think we should proceed?" Mark was the one to step up to answer Jasmine's question.

"She should stick to what we have been doing in our last fights. Front line should be anyone who is efficient in close combat and have our Mages and support in the back. But we should atleast have someone ready to aid our back line in case we are flanked." Everyone nodded their heads instinctively in agreement, but something wasn't right.

"What about them? Shouldn't they be in the front instead?" Someone pointed out Noah's creatures. Putting a wry smile on the faces of the people who had a sense of Noah's character.

"That'll be up to him, don't think of him as part of our group." Ishii was the next to respond, but there were many people who didn't like that answer.

"If he's not part of our group then why does he get to decide if we walk or not? And why does he get to choose to walk behind us while we confront the danger? Are you trying to say his life matters more?" Neal began to do what he does best, playing with words.

Almost everyone saw the scene from their windows when Noah defeated the tentacle zombie and they all experienced the fear provoked within them just from his wolf howling. If Noah was going to follow them then Neal would rather Noah take care of all their burdens while he was at it.

Naturally the people who fear the most for their lives agreed with Neal's rant.

"He's not deciding, we are, we also said that you didn't have to follow our decision, just like everyone else here. If you don't want to come with us then don't. We will also be there fighting with you, yet you don't see us complaining. Now let's go before we waste anymore time." Mark surprisingly defended Noah, but he had other intentions on doing so.

If Noah was leading the way then how would he ever grow stronger?

Even though there were people who felt aggrieved from their decision, they didn't want to be left behind either.

Just like Neal surmised, Noah delayed himself before following in their footsteps, feeding both Arachne and Fenrir the cores from last night while Ailetta watched in deep thought after Noah had explained to her about their benefits.

This went on until they arrived at what was supposed to be an empty lot, but now there were enough zombies to rival their own group when counting the number of zombies both in the lot and the ones that could be seen past the gate.

What was most concerning were the zombies that didn't appear as ordinary zombies, one in particular reminded the others of the giant skeleton they witnessed outside of the dorm.

Even Noah was surprised at what he was witnessing as he began to have second thoughts and began to mutter loudly enough for Ailetta to hear.

"My exp, my exp…."
