(POV Arachneras Rachnee)
'This fucking spider is treating us as a joke.' the bug said internally.
'Does he think I can't read his mind like his family? Why wouldn't I be relaxed as a bug with a clown outfit was giving such wonderful entertainment?' I thought as I even laughed a few times at their thoughts.
"Maybe I could make this fool my tool in the future." I said aloud as the fool was staring down an illusion of myself I created earlier.
'He can't even sense me.' I thought as I slapped his back to see how far I could go.
*Thwack*
"You really can't see me, huh!?" I said while my grin grew wider as the fool did nothing.
I went near the shields containing the bug's family to hit them softly a few times, and they all cracked a bit.
'Weak. Why did my lady even send me here... I might as well have a good time while I'm here.' I thought as I switched back to my Illusion clone's place in the meantime.
"My master told me to watch your family eight days ago. When your son caught her attention. Having a teleportation ability that can travel anywhere they have been to in the past is incredibly rare for a human. It's even more rare that said ability can bypass magical barriers, just like the ones in your home." I stated as I teased the bug in front of me with a smile.
"Honestly you guys put some decent work into this paper barrier you call your defense system." I said as I kept listing off every hole in their defense system my lady had showed me in the past.
James was about to lash out, but his sense of reason overpowered his rage. It made him gather as much information as possible.
'Impressive, a bug with self-control. Most of the humans that came before you all rushed me like rabid dogs and all got instantly put down like the dogs they were.' I thought while I kept listening to his so-called plans with glee.
'Witch of Greed, a God is looking at my son with interest… A witch cult member is acting on the orders of Greed. That witch loves knowledge and isn't the type to do cruel acts without reason, I need more information right now!'A bug thought as it steeled its will.
'Impressive honestly, most of the fools that came before you didn't even know about the cult. But I guess a descendant of that family would know of the cult's existence.' I thought while I continued to read his surface thoughts like a book.
'Oh look at him, is Mr. Bug angry at little old me right now.' Rachnee's face looked like she was sorry, but inside she was laughing at the harmless rage the bug had trying to control himself.
*"What the hell is a servant of the witch of greed doing here, what did you do to my family!"* A Bug yelled as it tried to control themselves.
James's rage blinded him just now as Rachnee just told him the reason behind his son catching the witch of greed's attention.
'My domain summons copies of every tool I ever made buffed with domain and cursed energy. I'm not talented enough to make an instant hit domain so launching weapons at high speeds with my wife's golems attacking is the best I can do.'.. The bug thought as its cheap ring lit up.
'My golden flames were created by a binding vow and can only be used when forging my items or when my domain is activated. These flames are meant to be a heavy hitter, but they didn't even harm her.
Using them to burn her webs on me earlier was a loophole. The webs counted as a forgeable material.' The bug thought as the ring around its wrist glowed and hundreds of magical golems appeared.
'Oh is that what his cursed technique does? Hmm, but why have his techniques gotten a bit stronger from the looks of it? Well no matter, a bug is still a bug, and I can kill him whenever I want so there's that too.' I thought while I started to eat a few human burgers my minions made me yesterday.
'Can't see me eating too, huh!? This bug sure is a funny clown.' I thought as I kept eating my meals.
The golems types ranged from wooden dolls with drawn-on faces to stone golems five meters in height built in a square design. Of the hundreds of golems ranging from wood, stone, and iron were 10 elites crafted from Blackstar metal with purple runes all over them standing 3 meters tall. The elite golems looked exactly like regular human males but with purple runes all over with abyssal black skin.
'I could kill this bug at any time, but it's been so boring just watching these last eight days. Oh look, the bug brought out some brand new toys. Let me see If I can steal control of those golems from the bug.' I thought as I started using my abilities against the bug's magic golems.
Soon enough, the false brains and magic systems within the golems started to rebel against James's wishes. Even though he knew the golems could help, especially the elite ones, he had to put them back.
Shortly after being summoned, the golems were unsummoned. The spider's idea of fun was trying to steal control from James's authority over the golems with her powers.
'It's better to fight alone with the items I can control. Then fight with something uncontrollable that might kill me.' The bug's teeth started grinding against each other in anger. Its fists tightened up even more, drawing some dirty bug blood from the pressure.
"I didn't do much. I just gave your son a spiritual hint to want to become a god instead of a hero, I also gave one to your wife to support his dreams.
Sadly, it seems it was a little too strong, as they made that simple spiritual hint, their entire life's purpo—" I said before I was rudely interrupted by the foolish bug.
Before Arachneras Rachnee could finish her complex explanation behind why she mind-controlled James's entire family into a maddening state. James stopped holding back after that, and let his rage do the talking instead of his logical mind.
"{{*Binding vow*}} I sacrifice 80, No, I sacrifice 175 years of my lifespan to be converted into a temporary source of unlimited cursed energy for this one fight against Rachnee Arachneras within my domain." The bug said as their entire aura changed.
"{{*Binding vow*}} I can't use any armor from my accursed vault except my helmet. In return, my body will adapt partially to all the attacks I face in this fight.*" The bug said as it listed off a few more so-called binding vows or whatever they were.
'Hmm, this bug is acting up, I just uplifted his family to strive for a worthy goal. Maybe my master will be lenient if I kill him, but she did say leave them unharmed physically.' I thought as I watched in awe as I started to yawn.
'He even took away my golems, my lady would have loved those oddly designed golems. They even had some revolutionary designs, and ideas imprinted within them.' I thought as the bug's upgrade was fascinating to watch.
I looked around the area admiring its unique view as she looked upon the purple sun in the sky in wonder.
'These cursed techniques with their domain expansions are truly impressive for bugs. All my webs were destroyed by the activation of the bug's domain. Its wife and the target are kept safe in that little shield box thing.
Not like it matters if I can kill them all at any time. I can instantly rush him in a single attack. Even his shields are super fragile as my hands could instantly pierce them to get the target out instantly.' I thought, but the next thing I knew I felt a strange silence from the bug...
"Human, what did you do..." I said as I just realized I could no longer read their mind...
