A flicker appeared above the Woodland Spider Queen's head. Its stats didn't change, that Sylas was certain of. However, it was the same oppressive might he had felt from the Arctic Emperor Bear.

The Effectiveness of the spider queen's stats hit a new threshold, one that was hard to put into just a few words. Even without its numbers increasing, the oppression it wrought was deadly... and maybe even more important than that, it seemed to gain a repertoire of new skills.

The root system beneath Sylas' feet exploded, and he looked down to find an endless abyss beneath his feet.

His gaze flickered as his weight was swept out from under him.

He realized that the system had screwed him over more than he knew.

He was stuck in this region, unable to leave. But now he had just realized that this wasn't just a nest... the entire web was the spider queen's attack weapon.

Suddenly, the roots around him shot at him from all sides, their barbs scratching against his skin and trying to tear him apart even when he dodged.

The roots swallowed him up, and Sylas could barely hear the hisses of his hoard of snakes before that sound was cut off from him as well.

The panic threatened to take hold of his heart before he forcefully pressed it down.

He noticed several things.

First, the roots were numerous, but their power output was relatively weak. Even with his weakened Constitution, they couldn't pierce through him easily. The barbs were only scratching at his skin and leaving shallow cuts; their real danger was the poison they held. But Sylas was relatively unaffected by it.

If the spider queen could control such a large region and bring real power along with it, she would simply be undefeatable.

The second thing he noticed was that he had quickly stopped falling. He had rebounded against a barrier, and if he had to guess, this barrier was what was trapping him within the Field Dungeon.

The spider queen had probably wanted him to fall to his death, as the underground was far deeper than he ever expected. But what neither of them could have guessed was that Sylas would be saved from such a death by something that was originally a punishment.
