Eldritch Creature's Guide

After several minutes of fighting, it was apparent that the Drider Ilztrar was outclassed, especially considering the terrain disadvantage he was facing, because the entire area where they were fighting was frozen to an icicle.

Samiel was controlling basically every aspect of the battlefield. What he wanted to achieve was a creation of a pseudo-domain like some Legendaries could use to boost up his overall capabilities in combat.

And freezing the entire area was a way to go, even if it was creating just an imitation, even that could give him a significant boost to his own power and some disadvantages to his enemies. Certainly, this was far long from the geniue Domains, but it was a good step, and Samiel was sure to achieve one when he became a Legendary.

"Come... you are going to use it, right?"

Questioned Samiel out of nowhere while looking at the severely injured Drider, who had wounds around his whole body, while his spider legs had a thick layer of frost around them, showing signs of freezing already to the extreme cold temperatures.

Normally, it would be night impossible for a Steel-Tier to win a fight against a Silver-Tier individual, not talking about killing the said individual, but Samiel was not the average Steel-Tier individual, as his combat prowess outshined all of them.

Even without his Undeads, he became the force to be reckoned with on his own, a danger. He was unlike other Necromancers who were useless without their Undeads; for him, they were just his supportive means or things to deal with annoying pests.

Instantly, four sharp ice stalagmites sprouted from the frozen earth, all aiming at the Drider, pricing him through and through, as he wasn't able to react properly, mainly due to another layer of curses that Samiel managed to cast on him, and especially due to the effect of the Vampiric Touch, which was sucking away his vitality.

Samiel knew exactly how to kill a Drider because Yvraine told him everything he needed to know about the resistance of the Underdark, how to combat them, where they had their weak spots, and how to kill them most efficiently.

Like the Drider.

There was no doubt that the Drider was a powerhouse on his own; if he was placed on any Lower World, for sure, even in this state he was in, just initial Silver-Tier, he would be considered as National Level Calamity.

However, he met his nemesis, as Samiel just weakened the Drider through long-ranged attacks enough before trapping him in the frozen area, where he practically controlled everything through his Winter Ruler Ultimate Ability, and that was the moment where the Drider lost.

Certainly, this strategy seemed too easy and straightforward and wouldn't be effective on more clear-headed enemies, but fortunately, the Driders were not known for their brains, and most of them were insane and didn't think straight.

"Seldarine's bitch!"

Samiel just heard the Drider curse at him as blood flowed from his mouth. Clearly, the Drider was dying, but seeing this, Samiel just increased his vigilance while flipping backward, when suddenly an overwhelming wave of dark miasma burst out of the Drider's body.

Samiel's ice walls, which he was so proud of, were instantly destroyed and cracked like the glass that was broken down into thousands of shards; as the body of the Drider started morphing, his injuries were being healed at an astronomical rate, while his body was enlarging, changing.

His missing spider leg regrew almost instantly, while all of his legs got thicker, and the Drowish part of the Drider's body, changed entirely, more appearing like a Fiend of the Abyss than that of a Drown.

Samiel knew that the Drider's body was right now being reshaped by the Divine Power of the Spider Queen Lolth to act as the vessel. Of course, such a vessel won't last long, and in truth, Samiel wondered if she would fight him, especially considering that he could feel the fluctuations of the Gold-Tier Mana from the vessel.

'Why can't I have a few moments of peace and just avoid getting into a mess way above my paygrade?'

Samiel pondered as he looked at the vessel of the Spider Queen Lolth because he was constantly getting into situations where he encountered enemies way above his level, way above; it was already getting annoying.

"Hmm... Mortal Plane? And this is Drider's body? Why the fuck have I been summoned here?"

Muttered the voice belonging to a female, a bit distorted, probably due to not properly acclimatizing to the body she was possessing, but Samiel could clearly hear all of it.

Immediately he realized who had descended down onto the material plane. Head of the Dark Seldarine Pantheon, Main Goddess of the Drow Pantheon, Ruler of the Spiders, Queen of Demonweb Pits, Spider Queen Lolth.

She was one of the more powerful Transcendents, mainly due to being Pantheon's Head and God-Queen of the entire Pantheon. And from what he could tell, she was pretty annoyed and angry at the fact she was summoned into the body of the Drider.

Probably it was not her preferred Avatar or Vessel, and considering how ugly it was no wonder, though from the records, he knew that Lolth's true body was no better, but she was a vain and jealous Goddess, obsessed with her beauty.

"So the fool wanted to kidnap the Silvermoon Crown Princess? Damm... hmm... that smell Eldritch?"

Suddenly Samiel felt a shiver run through his spine when he saw the Spider Queen looking in this direction, directly at him. That gaze of hers, was very uncomfortable, not like the general gaze of Transcendent Level entities was something enjoyable, but Lolth's was especially wrong.

"Come here, my darling..."

She said somewhat seductively, which only increased Samiel's vigilance because she was trying to use some kind of charm on him; fortunately, due to his heritage, he proved to be pretty resistant to it, as Lolth's face distorted, in a split of a second see that her charm had no effect on him.

"Wretched Eldrich Creatures, always so annoying."

Her personality took a 180-degree change as she viciously cursed while looking at Samiel threateningly. Probably someone here had some problem with Eldritch Creatures and Outer Gods as a whole; not a welcomed problem for him indeed.

"What do you want with me? Perhaps avenging your little servant?"

Samiel asked mockingly, not really fearing Lolth because he had bigger backing than her, and when it came to the worse, he could always call the manifestation of Azathoth, Nyarlathotep, or other of the main Outer Gods to just expunge her out of the mortal plane.

"Don't be ridiculous; why should I care about this piece of garbage."

She answered with no little amount of disdain for her own servant, but that was understandable.

This was common standing among the Transcendents, especially Gods, they didn't care about their followers, servants, or whatever a bit, only for those who were on the Legendary Level, but that was all.

From a certain point of view, it was understandable because each Transcendent, if wanted, can create a whole bunch of Legendaries on their own, with little to no resources. Mainly for Gods, not all, but for the majority of them, their followers were just disposable pawns, nothing more and nothing less.

"I sense from you the stench of the Seldari... Silvermoon Seldarine... disgusting. Don't you want rather be together with nice beautiful Drow Matriarch instead?"

She whispered like Devil seducing his target to sell his soul for basically nothing; Samiel swore that under normal circumstances, he would, for the sure, mistake the Spider Queen for the Devil instead of Goddess.

"And became like a castrated dog in a cage... no thank you."

He answered stoically, not even entertaining such a train of thoughts.

Drow society was strictly matriarchal one, where men had inferior standing, and he knew how the Drow Matriarch treated their toys, especially considering that most, if not all, Drow Matriarchs are pretty twisted in their heads, not that far from him, but he would never want to have anything with them.

"Let us return to the right track; why are you here, Spider Queen?"

Samiel asked bluntly, lacking the respect for the Goddess such as the Lolth, instantly enraging her with just one sentence because normally, people would be as courteous with her as possible, fearing for their own very life, but Samiel was neither of that.

He didn't fear Lolth; he knew that right now, in her current form, she couldn't do anything to him because for the second he sensed something from her side, he would immaterially call up the powers of the Outer Gods.

"Insolent mortal!"

Lolth screamed while sending a wave of the dark miasma towards him.

"I call upon the powers of the Void and Outsidness to protect me from the enemy across time and space, as my unbreakable shield."

Samiel instantly chanted the prayer; as freezing cold energy appeared out of nowhere, space cracked and created a shield around him, protecting him from the dark miasma unleashed by the Spider Queen Lolth.

Meanwhile, Lolth looked at Samiel; her facial expression kept changing from anger to fear, then jealousy and once again anger and rage, replaced by fear. She knew that the people calling up the power of the Void itself, and especially mortals, were "Children" of the strongest Outer Gods.

Even though Lolth was a very powerful Transcendent and among the Gods, she could rank in the higher-end effortlessly, in front of Outer Gods, especially those like Primordial Demiurge and his Children, whose aura she sensed from the Void, she was just a bigger ant.

"So you have some tricks in your sleeve."

Lolth muttered angrily, being overtaken by her rage; never in her life gave her some mortal so much disrespect as right now. Instantly the pressure from her vessel started rising tremendously, as it reached the Limit of the Gold-Tier Level 100 before sending another wave of the dark miasmatic energy at the Samiel, who was being protected by the Void itself.

Seeing the shield standing strong and high at one side, Samiel was relieved, but at the same time, he was worried because it didn't really seem that Lolth in her vessel would stop her attacks, and their power was just increasing.

Decisively, Samiel conjured one sharp ice dagger before he cut his wrist deeply, as blood started flowing, while Samiel was using the Winter Ruler to freeze the blood amidst that, and controlling his frozen blood, to create a specific symbol in the air behind the void shield.

"With my Blood as the sacrifice, I call upon the descend of the Primordial Demiurge, the Nuclear Chaos, the Daemon Sultan, let him enter the world of mortals and dreams rewrite the reality, by his wishes. I call upon the name of the Greatest Dreamer, Azathoth!"

Samiel finished the words with a shout as his frozen blood in ruby crystals melted down and created together a magic circle, which shone in ominous and malicious crimson light. At the same time, suddenly, several huge tentacles started coming out from the magic circle, which was the portal.

"Leave here, Lolth."

From the magic circle sounded, these distorted words, like they were spoken by thousands of people at the same time, while Lolth, who was right now controlling her vessel, looked grim at the situation because she would never expect to meet Azathoth's will here.

'He called one of them... meaning he is one of the... damm...'

She just wanted to curse in her head, but she was not daring to do so; even a whisp of Azathoth's will was enough to injure her so severely that it would require thousands of years to recuperate.

"We will meet again, Eldritch Fledgling."

She said as her will left the body of the Drider, which collapsed onto the ground, while simultaneously the magic circle which was used to summon Azathoth from the Void dispersed into nothingness.

"Damm... that was something, though it was evident that neither she wanted to be summoned here, so technically I was just unlucky that I now gained her as nea w mortal enemy."

Samiel sat on the ground, because he was very tired from sustaining such a huge ritual and expanded almost all of his Mana.

"Curse my E-Ranked Luck."
