'Did it work for me too?' He started to become excited at the thought. If it succeeded then he looked forward to finding more spiders in future and he couldn't help but think about the zombies that could have them.

Having to once again be reminded of his penalty, his excitement almost diminished until he saw the improvement to his skills. He wasn't sure of the exact numbers but it had to be at least a five percent increase with just the one pearl. He wondered how much of an increase Arachne gained after eating seven by now. When he thought about it, he still had to allocate her five points since she leveled up.

Noah's eyes shined when he noticed the growth in her skills and mana. He really wanted to exterminate them all.
"Tsk…we will have to wait to go looking for them again. Shop first and then we can always come back." In his frustration he mindlessly snapped off one of the dead spider's legs and started to chew on it. Doing so felt so natural to him that he didn't question his new odd behavior.
"Arachne, finish up with the last two so we can get going." He urged, but he didn't have to say anything. He didn't know if she just found the pearls to be tasty or if she just instinctively knew that the pearls were good for her. She was already busying herself on the last spider. Noah took this time to increase her strength using the five points she obtained, raising her strength up to 37.
When he increased her stats, his eyes wandered over to Fenrir who was casually stuffing the spiders they passed into his mouth whole. He didn't even attempt to chew as he swallowed them whole.
"! At least chew! You're making Arachne look good!" Noah knew he shouldn't be surprised when Fenrir was still considered a zombie. All they knew how to do was eat.
"Hmph! He doesn't know how to enjoy a meal, don't compare him to me!" Arachne had finished up finding all the pearls and was able to respond.
Fenrir has yet developed conscious thinking, allowing for Noah to avoid an argument between the two. Before he forgot, he also took this time to go over Fenrir stats and spend his points as well.

"Wait a minute….Will everyone with a unique skill transform to zombies with these kinda stats when they get infected?" Imaginary sweat went down his face. He's met a lot of people who had a unique skill so far and these were just college students! He was sure people like the army would have tons of individuals who acquired a unique skill, but then again. Would someone in the army be able to kill someone they were supposed to be able to sacrifice their life for?
"If anything they would try to detain them first…Sigh! I was hoping that maybe I could get more OP zombies."
Noah's thoughts returned back to his stats one last time, he couldn't miss this chance to allow Fenrir to obtain another skill so he added the rest of his stats to strength. Immediately he was made aware of the notification.
[Your tamed creature, Fenrir, has achieved the first limits of 50 stats in strength, perk based on class Lycan obtained; 'Becoming deadly weapons']
Passive-Becoming Deadly weapons: A Lycans claws and teeth were always to be feared. What if these weapons could be improved? With the obtained skill, the sharpness and toughness of your teeth and claws has been improved. Changes will be improved when the skill levels up.
'….Well it sounds good, but I don't know how good the changes are. I didn't exactly test out its claws before this happened…I'll have to make sure to compare it when it levels up again.'
"Now we can go." He looked towards his two creatures before making his way to the cafeteria. It didn't take long for the group to reach the cafeteria and come upon a site Noah was already expecting.
Noah had a feeling that the students here would've had the same troubles as they did with the recent horde. And from the amount of zombies piled around the build and the busted windows, he was sure that they had their own troubles to deal with.
He was surprised because out of the zombie corpse he saw, he observed carcasses of giant beetles in the area. The Beatles were as big as full grown golden retrievers.
Noah noticed that the door that led to the lobby was broken down, but as he headed towards it, he could see a barricade of tables and other items stacked in its place. He decided to make a detour from the window he used back then.
He was about to jump through when he had a realization before turning behind him. He looked at the oversized werewolf following behind him on all fours even though it could walk on two. It took him about two extra glances from Fenrir to the window to decide that it just wasn't going to work out unless he wanted to tear the whole wall down so he had to resort to an old skill he had almost forgotten about.
"Ok big guy, seems like you'll have to go inside for a while."
Fenrir didn't show any signs of rejection and through their bond, he lowered his head to the same height as Noah. Noah then proceeded to make contact with Fenrir's head before closing his eyes and activating the soul cage skill. He didn't have to close his eyes but in doing so it made it easier for him to focus.
Last time he attempted this with Arachne, the process took longer than anticipated and was extremely uncomfortable.
'Oh!' Noah mentally exclaimed when he fully connected his souls to Fenrir. Fenrir didn't resist in the slightest, even when he brought his soul into Noah's own, the wolf still didn't struggle. The process was going too easy, but now Noah was at the stage that took the longest for Arachne and that was to find a place within his body to reside.
He waited, but he noticed that Fenrir wasn't moving at all. Noah began to think that maybe he should guide him. However when he attempted to guide him to his back, thinking it would be suitable for him since Arachne also liked that area. He felt a presence in his back that wasn't supposed to be there.
'! How is she here if she's out there…?' He thought. Noah was beyond surprised when he felt the presence of Arachne's soul originating from his back. He could always find time to think about what happened later, but for now he needs to finish what he started. If he couldn't use that spot then he would just guide Fenrir somewhere else.
'Since you aren't picky like a certain someone then we'll go for the arm.' It didn't take long at all to secure the wolf's location. It was having Noah doubt if he was using the same skill or was it just because the time with Arachne was his first time using the skill.
When his vision returned it was only him and Arachne left by the window. Noah was never able to check his back when he used the skill before, but now that Fenrir was on his arm, he wanted to hurry and check to see if there were any changes. To his dismay he still wasn't able to see anything because of his gear.
"Fine, whatever, it's not like I wanted to see it anyway." Trying to hide his disappointment, he returned his attention to the window. He made sure to allow Arachne to go in first. His stats were abysmal compared to what they were before.
When we walked in he noticed that the dog from earlier was now covered in a sheet, possibly to help diminish the dead smell that could possible attract other creatures.
The two continued to make their way out the room and into the hallway. He noticed that the doors leading into the lobby were closed this time. He hoped that the door wasn't barricaded too like the previous one.
Arachne made way for him to open the door, but before reaching the handle, he could already make out voices on the other side. And judging from the sounds, there were a lot of people on the other side.
He steeled himself for another fight before opening the door slowly.
"Hey! Everyone the door, look!"
"Someone go get Neal!"
Noah could already make out the sudden silence on the other side after the initial yelling. It was good that the people were vigilant, but now that meant he couldn't allow Arachne to go first. The thought caused him to smirk to himself, his appearance wasn't any better. Bloody, while wielding a giant eerie bone sword and sporting multiple pupils?
'Maybe Arachne would have less of an impact on them then me?' He joked to himself before stepping through the door.
"Archers prepare your bows! Don't worry about wasting any, they are really cheap in the shop."
"D-do you think this one will be easier than the gian-"
"! There's a giant spider behind it too! It's a lot bigger than the others. Hurry up and get Neal and his group! What's taking so long?
Noah didn't blame them for being so alarmed, but it was quite annoying. The hysteria grew more when Arachne made her way in front of him.
He didn't know where this huge group of people came from. They certainly weren't with Mark's group otherwise they would've brought them when they came to the gym.
He repeatedly heard the name Neal, alarms sounded in Noah's head to the name. He hoped it wasn't the same person he was thinking about.
Noah's gaze constantly roamed between everyone wielding a weapon against him. There were at least 30 fighters in the lobby alone and he could make out more in more people within the cafeteria itself. It was unsure if the people in there were capable of fighting.
He decided to wait for the Neal guy to come, but as he waited he also channeled soul cage skill, just in case he needed to bring the big guy out.
It didn't take long to hear the doors on the second floor swing open and a couple figures came through.
'It just had to be them…' The first person he saw was none other than Reginina. He was hoping she died in the wave of zombies at the gym, but apparently she was able to flee all the way here.
Even though he despised her, she wasn't the main priory right now. It was the manipulator standing next to her and the group of arm people at his sides.
Neal was a very charismatic person, if someone were to ask who was the most popular guy in the sky then 90 percent of them would say Neal. To the public he was a saint, but to Noah and the people who suffered under him, he was no different than a snake or the devil's advocate. He was the sort of person that could stab you and broad daylight and convince everyone around that you committed suicide. No one would be the wiser since he was already viewed in such a high esteem.
With his vision, he witnessed a small smirk on Neals face before he put on a face to address the issue at hand. Noah could already tell that he knew who he was, most likely from Regina no less.
Noah was unsure what sort of play Neal would put on this time, but he was mistaken if he thought it would go the way it used to.
As of now, it doesn't matter what everyone else thought. Neal could convince them that Noah ate their mothers. But what could they do about it if he did?
