Only I Know the Plot of the Anime World - Chapter 64
When the venomous stinger pierced their bodies, several demon spiders began to convulse.
This was due to the “Venom Sac” trait, which prevented their cells from regenerating, causing their injuries to drain their lives continually.
[Jorogumo’s stinger hits the target, dealing 11 piercing damage]
[The target is poisoned, taking one poison damage per second for 5 seconds]
[Venom Sac trait activates, preventing the target from regenerating health]
Jorogumo shared her poison with each demon spider, stabbing them forcefully. However, she paid the price with seven or eight new wounds, reducing her health by more than half.
This is the drawback of a control-based build: slow movement and almost no durability, making it easy to get overwhelmed if not careful.
Fortunately, she wasn’t alone. Fang Bo’s Dragoon quickly took out one unlucky spider.
Conversely, Ali’s cursed tool never stops, killing one enemy and immediately moving to the next.
Even though three demon spiders managed to break free from the web, they were already too weak to fight back and soon fell to the ground.
[Legendary Trait (Heart of Steel): You have accumulated ten health points in this world.]
Admiring his steadily increasing health points, Fang Bo smiled with satisfaction. Watching oneself grow stronger bit by bit felt wonderful.
The only downside was that these demon spiders didn’t drop any treasure chests. How stingy was Natagumo Mountain?
While Fang Bo sat resting, Ali had already rescued the poor Demon Slayer, encouraging him with kind words.
“You’ve been very brave.”
“Th-Thank you.”
“Haha, I was saved once too, so I understand the feeling of despair. I hope one day your blade can help others.”
That genuine smile comforted the terrified young Demon Slayer and left the self-serving Fang Bo silent.
After careful observation, Fang Bo confirmed that Ali was simply overly responsible.
Since entering the space, Fang Bo has treated everyone he encounters as pawns.
He couldn’t help it; he could accurately “predict” everyone’s predetermined fate. It felt like replaying a game he’d already beaten.
The process was enjoyable, but the characters and storylines no longer moved him.
This mindset continued until he completed the destiny quest for the Ubume.
Seeing Ali’s behavior, Fang Bo suddenly realized something.
Completing Ubume’s destiny quest meant she was no different from him. She could enter story worlds and use attribute points to enhance her strength.
According to Ryuuno, if she died in battle, Ubume could shed her follower status and continue completing various tasks in the space.
She could even recruit her followers.
Massaging his temples, Fang Bo began to adjust his thinking. He couldn’t treat everything as a “game” anymore.
Story characters had predetermined roles, but the process could have been more straightforward. Being too arrogant could lead to significant losses.
He’d already suffered in the One Piece world.
He thought he could easily control the Vinsmoke family, but one of their modified soldiers almost killed him.
This proved that even with his foresight, the characters’ independent thoughts could still pose a challenge.
“I must be more cautious, or I’ll suffer.”
Of course, he could never become someone like Ali.
Treating story characters seriously was to manipulate them better. There was no room for misplaced righteousness in a dangerous world—such behavior was foolish.
Lost in reflection, Fang Bo suddenly heard the sound of chewing.
Looking over, he saw the spider’s head under Jorogumo munching on the recently killed demon spider.
Usually, their bodies would turn to ash upon death. Perhaps the venom prevented this, leaving the corpse intact for Jorogumo to devour.
“Uh, are you hungry?” Fang Bo felt he had asked a silly question.
Before becoming a follower, summoned shikigami had their awareness clouded by the space.
Typically, they couldn’t express their emotions well, making it hard to respond to their summoner’s questions.
Luckily, the space’s prompt provided clarity; otherwise, Fang Bo would have ordered her to stop, finding the scene too nauseating.
[ID 14552 triggers Destiny Quest: Demon Spider King!]
[Quest Description: After devouring the blood of Demon King Muzan, Jorogumo’s cells began to mutate. She now craves more of Muzan’s blood.]
[Quest Requirement: Help her devour more blood. Current progress: 0.02%]
[Special Tip: The more robust the demon, the richer the Muzan blood in their body.]
“Oh?” Fang Bo’s eyes lit up. Unexpectedly, he’d triggered a destiny quest.
Seeing Ubume freely enter and exit the reincarnation space, he couldn’t help but feel envious. She could also gain follower status if he completed Jorogumo’s destiny quest.
“Being able to take on tasks and strengthen herself with rewards is like having a loyal teammate with multiple benefits.”
Suddenly, he thought of something and pulled out the bottle of diluted Demon King’s blood from his mark.
Jorogumo, who had been eating, immediately turned her head, carefully inching closer, her eyes filled with longing.
“I want it,” she said.
Handing the bottle over, she swallowed it in one gulp, even consuming the bottle.
Checking the task menu, Fang Bo saw a noticeable increase in the devour progress.
Current progress: 1.12%
“Looks like it’ll take a hundred more bottles to complete.”
Of course, this could have been more practical. Rather than wasting time on low-level demons, it would have been better to target the Twelve Kizuki directly.
For that, Fang Bo needed strong teammates. Alone, he couldn’t handle the Upper Moons.
After contemplating, Fang Bo raised his head with a bright, friendly smile.
“Hey, the kid is injured. Let’s get out of here first.” He went to help the injured Demon Slayer.
The young swordsman was speechless.
Ali was speechless.
This “sorcerer” reincarnator was very strong, with powerful single-target attacks. Since meeting him, his strange coin throws have taken out every enemy.
With his help, hunting the Twelve Kizuki would be much easier, especially since “sorcery” skills had a substantial bonus against these evil entities.
As for his excessive saintliness…
Well, Fang Bo admired people with a strong sense of justice.
The underground spiders were all slain and encountered no risks of returning to the surface.
After the young swordsman solemnly bid farewell, the prompt for completing the side quest rang in Fang Bo’s mind.
[Side Quest: The Rescuer (Completed)]
[You have earned 150 plot points]
[You have acquired Basic Melee LV1]
While the plot points weren’t much, the Basic Melee skill scroll was valuable, helping him cover his melee shortcomings.
He now needed melee skills to apply negative statuses to enemies.
Improving his combat abilities would help in future battles.
Looking around at the cautious Jorogumo, Fang Bo noticed the sounds of fighting in the town had decreased significantly.
It made sense. With an unknown number of reincarnators arriving, their first task would be to familiarize themselves with the combat and analyze the fighting styles of the world’s characters.
These poor demon spiders were unfortunate victims.
With the space’s concealing ability, Fang Bo confidently walked Jorogumo onto the street.
As for Ali, he admired Jason’s courage and decided to team up with him to complete the Demon Slayer world storyline.
Ali’s decision was wise. Despite the dangers ahead, the rewards would far exceed previous gains.
Miss Onmyoji would likely have the most to say on this topic.
“Sigh.” Looking at the tragic scene around them, Ali sighed deeply, his sorrow palpable to Fang Bo.
But Fang Bo didn’t ask. Everyone had untouchable secrets, just as he wouldn’t discuss his past.
Fang Bo still didn’t understand why a group of supernaturals from the real world wanted to hunt him.
The two left the town, heading toward Natagumo Mountain.
With regular demon spiders being so challenging, that place must be difficult. Charging in unthinkingly would be reckless.
Let other reincarnators scout and draw some heat, reducing their troubles.
Jorogumo had two and a half hours of summon time, enough for the fight ahead. The mountain was close from the town.
Ali frequently glanced at Fang Bo as they walked, looking slightly uneasy.
Finally, he made up his mind and turned to his bewildered companion. “Earlier, you tried to scan my information, right?”
“You’ve revealed your cards. As a teammate, I won’t hide mine.”
With that, Ali displayed his talent, which left Fang Bo astonished.
“You are…”
