Walking further into the dungeon, I realized I hadn't seen a single living being. It was quite weird since I had been in here for hours, but it also gave me an opportunity to keep casting "Consume" at everything I could find. I have two "Mana Cores" in my inventory which I can use to increase my mana limit but "Consume" is a skill that doesn't require any mana so I figured, I should keep them as it is.
Although it kinda sucks that I haven't gained a single thing from using "Consume" after crafting throwing knives and mana necklace.
Its success rates are truly shit.
Hiss...click...hiss...chitter...click...
Hearing the chittering noise, I activated "Heightened Sense" to detect where the noise was coming from. Above the floor's ceiling were four giant black spiders with shining green eyes charging at me.
The spiders came down to the ground, while the two of the spiders attacked using their web the other two spat a green acidic substance from their mouths.
I lacked the proper weapon and skill to fight them so rather than using throwing knives to throw I equipped two of them in a rogue style for close combat. I also combined my "Heightened Sense" with my Teleportation's sub-skill "Blink" and I was able to dodge their attacks.
Even so, "Heightened Sense" can't last forever, and I guess the best way the kill them would be blinking above their heads to stomp them like good ol' Plumber Bros and use the knife to pierce their eyes and cast "Consume" but I gotta be fast.
Here we go!
I blinked above one of the venom-throwing spiders and luckily the spider wasn't as sturdy as it looked. It was the right idea to stomp them, as I crushed it I quickly used the knives to pierce its eyes, as it screamed. Before the other spiders could react, I blinked above once again and this time used "Consume" on the stomped spider.

The fuck!?
No skill, no item... just one stat point? And It's INT? At least give me DEX Point!!!!!
This sucks.
At least the stomping strategy seems to work fine against them. I better finish fast, before my mana is depleted to zero.
I stomped on the second spitting spider and pierced its eye but the knives broke this time rather than casting "Consume" I proceeded to stomp the other two silk-throwing spiders. In my overconfidence, I stomped one and tried to kick the other one but it got me with its webs and bit me.
AH! Fuck, it hurts.
[Alert: You Have Been Poisoned]
Shit! Shit! Shit!
Blood spurted from his mouth, splattering the ground
There's only one of 'em left now and my body is in agony. What should I do? Use another blessing? It's still too early for that but I'm gonna die either way.
...Gulp...
In a minute it was all over, I used "Consume" this time on spiders altogether since the spiders are on the verge of death and I'm buffed. Hopefully, I can get some good stuff this time.
Consume!
