Super Spark of Duper Pride [OB] - Act II: Deconstruction

4-8: Exposure Therapy (Spider 76 & Apex 6)

Spider 76:

Taboo: [Atone]

Ugh...

Huh? I am alive?

...Was that a nightmare then?

Nai wa, that was not pleasant to say the least.

...But wait, where am I?

What was I doing?

Last thing I remembered was...being killed by the Demon Lord.

Huh? How am I alive then?

Or am I...

I called upon Wisdom-sama and it worked, showing that I am on very low HP.

Okay, so I am alive, I think.

Can barely feel my head, and can't feel the rest of my body.

I guess [Immortality] saved me.

Guess now I know how it works, I can regenerate from 0 HP, but I will be unconscious during it.

Nai wa, I hate that I am only alive thanks to my luck, and not of my own doing.

Well, it would be wrong to look a gift horse in the mouth, back to trying to live my life to the fullest.

Taboo: [Atone]

As much as I just want to give up for good and be done with this bullsheet called life...

So where am I anyway?

It's dark, damp and...am I hearing the sound of swimming?

???: <??, ????? ??????? ?????.>

Huh?

Who-That!?

What the fuck!?

Are you messing with me Wisdom-sama?!

No!? Then the constant unease I have been feeling is [Danger Perception] reacting to That!?

And I am in its mouth!?

No no no no no no no!

<Don't eat me!>

I reflexively screamed out over the [Telepathy] link which is stup-Wait, why would there be a [Telepathy] link between us?

That: <???? ????, ? ???? ??? ?? ????.>

And it is...talking to me?

What...is going on here?

Taboo: [Atone]

I am so confused.

Either way, I am not staying in its mouth regardless of what its intentions are.

I tried to Blink out, but That's [Dragon Scales] blocked it.

...As if I don't have enough reason to hate how busted Dragons are.

Then, light blinded me, and the next thing I know, I was dropped onto the ground.

Ouch, and ew, I am covered in its saliva.

Can I die now?

Fei: <Skanda?!>

<Ah! Fei!? What!?>

Fei: <The [Fartalk] link was down for a while, I thought you...>

<Well, I was kind of dead for a while but I am fine now so don't worry about it.>
