Ah, they finally made it.
Or were they actually late, honestly?
Well, I've been teleporting all over between the Upper Layer and Lower Layer, so chasing me down must have been a real pain for them.
So they finally figured out that I've been eating them from the inside .
Hello?
{Hello?} Anything happening over there?
{Something's heading somewhere.} Ah, figured as much.
{Did something happen?} Yeah.
Mother's underlings attacked.
{Ah, so it's finally happening.} Where are you right now?
{Hold on. I'll link up.} Sure.
{Huh. This kind of area?} Ah, OK.
If it's this location, then it should be fine.
{I'll report if anything changes.} Got it.
Hmm.
Positionally speaking, it doesn't look like they'd stumble into Mother's battle.
But the real question is whether I can actually beat this thing.

There's no way. There's no way I can handle this.
This thing has higher stats than the Earth Dragon, and it's a freaking spider.
On top of that, it's got three Greater Taratects as bodyguards.
And there's a whole bunch more besides.
Tons of Small Lesser Taratects.
Tons of Small Taratects.
About thirty regular Taratects.
Oh hey, a Poison Taratect is here too.
Well, well, well.
Appearance-wise, they really don't look any different from regular Taratects.
Wait, now's not the time to be impressed.
Teleporting away would be ideal, but I really don't want these guys chasing me around forever.
Should I fight for a bit and thin out their numbers?
The Arch Taratect leading them is out of my league, but I want to at least take down one Greater Taratect.

This one's the strongest among the Greater Taratects.
I absolutely have to take this one down.
If it gains one more level, it'll evolve.
That would be bad.
Having two Arch-level threats when they're already terrifying? There'd be no chance of winning.
Well, even after evolving it wouldn't immediately match the Arch right in front of me, but there's no doubt it'd become a pain.
Dodge the Arch's attacks while dispatching the Greater Taratect.
Sounds like quite the grueling task.
