Hearing Viktor's words, Hera fell silent.

She remembered that when Victor had come to the South not long ago, he had asked her name for her confirmation.

It was as if I wanted to dig something out of her.

And now, again, he is asking a similar question.

Levi and Vladimir, who were watching from the sidelines, also looked at each other in unison, their eyes full of confusion.

Their minds are also full of questions.

Why was Victor so interested in Hera's name?

Could it be that there is some secret behind Hera's name?

In addition, Hera's self-proclaimed "beast" also made them curious.

However, these questions touched Hera's private privacy, and it was inconvenient for them to ask too many questions.

They could only remain silent, waiting for Hera to speak on her own.

After some contemplation, Hera finally bowed her head, her eyes fell on the heavy skirt beneath her, and she muttered for a long time.

Under everyone's puzzled gaze, she finally spoke slowly:

"From the moment I first woke up, I knew my name was Hera."

Conscious?

This sentence can be understood in two ways.

On the one hand, it can be understood that since Hera was born, when she reached a certain age, she became self-aware and remembered her name.

On the other hand, it is very likely that Hera was not born as a baby and developed into what she is now.

Maybe when she suddenly woke up to her consciousness and became the current Hera.

It is said that the leader of the Beast Guild is not from the Empire.

She came to the empire from somewhere else, and then lived on the southern border.

Build a guild, run into the monster cracks from time to time to fight a bunch of monsters, and constantly improve yourself.

From the beginning to now, it has become a beast known to adventurers as 'Hera'.

As a result, even Rivi and Vladimir began to take a keen interest in Hera's background.

Sensing their curiosity, Hera said calmly:

"That's right, I'm not from the Empire."

"To be precise, I'm not even human."

Yes!?

These words were like thunder, shocking Vladimir and Rivi who were present.

Their eyes widened and they looked in amazement at Hera, who bowed her head to the side.

And what's going on?

Could it be that Hera was a subhuman?

She calls herself a "beast", and it seems natural that she has certain animal traits.

However, looking at Hera's appearance, it is revealed that she does not display any typical subhuman characteristics.

Subhumans basically find their species by their ears.

But Hera ...... No matter how you look at it, you can't find anything special about her.

At this time, Hera glanced at Victor and found that Victor did not show the slightest surprise, and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Looks like Lord Victor already knew."

"Then I won't continue to hide it."

As she spoke, Hera took a deep breath, as if to encourage herself and prepare herself to confess.

Under the watchful eyes of the three, she gently pinched the corners of her skirt and slowly revealed her secret.

At this moment, her figure, hidden under the wide skirt, was finally revealed.

It was eight staggered spider-like insect legs, stretched out.

The black surface has no spider fur and only shimmers with a faint dark sheen.

This made the eyes of Vladimir and Revi, who came forward curiously, widen their expressions in shock.

Hera coughed lightly, and with some embarrassment, recovering her secret with the hem of her skirt, retracting the eight exposed legs.

"Now, you get it, right?"

Rivi and Vladimir looked at each other and blinked.

The two of them are of the same age, and they are both old men who have lived to be in their seventies, so what have they never seen?

No, I'm grass, I haven't really seen this.

Vladimir rubbed his head, his brow furrowed, his face full of confusion about the absurdity of the world.

The existence of the upper body of a human being combined with the lower body of a spider is beyond the scope of their cognition.

It's no wonder that Hera, a well-known adventurer in the southern part of the empire, always wore that eye-catching dress to battle.

With the exception of Hera, no adventurer would have opted for such an exaggerated long dress.

Because in battle, such a long skirt is likely to cause all kinds of inconveniences.

It is inevitable that there will be running and jumping during the battle, and it is easy to trip over the skirt when you run and jump.

If you don't do it, it will be torn apart, and it will appear to be naked in battle.

But Hera didn't seem to be affected by walking.

She is agile and light, and she can't even see the ups and downs of her body when she runs, and she is faster than the average warrior.

There is even speculation that Hera may have used some kind of magic to keep herself floating in the air.

The structure is now revealed, as Hera has a total of eight legs.

Naturally, it's easy to achieve that kind of speed and agility beyond the ordinary.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Hera slowly spoke:

"From the moment I realized it, I was like this."

"The upper body of a human being, and the lower body of a spider, and it doesn't age."

The moment the news came out of Hera's mouth, even more bewildered Rivi and Vladimir.

Apparently, Hera herself was unaware of the mystery of her origins, making it impossible for them to look for clues from her past.

However, Levi still had some doubts and asked:

"I remember you said that you are not from the Empire, you are from outside."

Levi thought to himself that maybe he could find Hera's background and answer from Hera's origins.

Hearing this, Hera nodded and continued:

"As I said, I've been what I am since the beginning of my consciousness."

"So, finding out where exactly I'm coming from doesn't help much."

However, Hera finally spoke:

"I woke up in the abyss of monsters."

These words shocked the two again.

Especially Vladimir, who even stood up and took a step back.

He looked at Hera in front of him vigilantly, for fear that Hera would turn into a monster and attack them.

The monster abyss in the south is famous, and countless monsters will surge out of it.

Even the current crisis of the empire is due to the fact that the monster abyss crack in the south is not well regulated, causing a large number of monsters to overflow.

Unexpectedly, Hera actually woke up from the abyss of monsters.

"I woke up in a spider's nest."

As a well-informed mage, Levi began to think deeply when he heard this.

When Levi heard this, he, a well-informed mage, began to think deeply.

The spider's nest, which seems to match Hera's legs.

Immediately afterward, Hera continued:

"The spiders there are similar to human sizes, but they see me as one of the same kind,"

"They won't attack me, they'll give me something to eat."

"Of course, that food is live monster meat."

Speaking of which, she did not show the slightest resistance at all.

It seems that in her bones she does not think of herself as a human being.

Levi fell into deep thought, thinking about the spider-like monster in the abyss of monsters.

Similar to the size of a human, it even has the ability to prey on monsters.

He suddenly had a guess in his heart, and then said:

"Could it be the [Chonghei Demon Spider]?"

Hera smiled and confirmed his guess:

"The Duke is really well-informed,"

"That's right, you Imperial people do call them the [Chongji Demon Spider]."

Such monsters exist in the Abyss of Monsters, and they feed on the flesh and blood of other monsters, and sometimes even do not spare humans who enter them.

In addition, this monster also has a unique breeding habit that is different from other monsters.

They mate, and after mating, the female spider eats the male she mates with as food.

It is said that in order to compensate for the lack of nutrition in childbirth, by eating males, the offspring are raised to be stronger than the paternal line.

They are the Warcraft species that are obsessed with cultivating offspring.

"So, I inherited their ideas as well."

Hera was calm when she said this, but it made Vladimir and Rivi tremble.

Their eyes invariably turned to Victor with a hint of sympathy in their eyes.

No wonder, Hera wanted to have offspring with Victor, but Victor refused to do so.

If you run out, you will be eaten as food, who would dare to accept this?

Seeing that the two of them reacted like this, Hera also hurriedly explained:

"Of course, that's the habit of the [Chongji Demon Spider]."

In order to raise the strongest offspring, these spiders are not picky eaters at all.

They will even drag the powerful male demons from the outside world back to use them for fertility, and sometimes even humans will not let go.

These are used as fertility tools, and they will be eaten by them just after they are used up.

They are constantly giving birth to offspring and nurturing offspring, and there is no end to it.

Just to breed the 'strongest' offspring.

"But I'm different, I still have a human mind after all."

Hera stared at Victor with fiery eyes and confessed:

"I would only like to choose someone who is stronger than me as a partner, and I will only choose him."

"Having children with someone stronger than me, I naturally won't hurt this partner."

She didn't go on, but Revie and Vladimir understood what she meant.

After all, she couldn't beat Victor either.

has the idea of eating each other, it is better to find a way to squeeze the other party dry.

Vladimir and Rivi looked at each other about this.

While they did understand Hera's thoughts, they shuddered at the habit.

And most importantly......

Those eight spider legs, no one should be able to accept them.

The two of them moved their gaze to the side slightly, but saw that Victor's face was calm, and he seemed to be still thinking.

It seemed as if he was considering what Hera had said.

When Levi saw it, his face suddenly turned strange.

Could it be that Victor happens to have a soft spot for this particular genre?

At this moment, Levi suddenly thought.

The Craviner family has cultivated I don't know how many subhumans!

In the magic tower, he even caught a fox, and stayed in the magic tower with that fox for an unknown amount of time.

And most importantly, Victor also raised a crow!

Hiss......

Levi always felt like he had discovered something terrible.

When Erica returns, she must be warned that she must never go near Victor again!

At this time, Victor beside him nodded as if he had thought about it.

"If you want to know, I basically know pretty much."

Seeing Victor nodding, Hera's eyes widened.

The pattern in the pupils suddenly began to tremble, and even the voice was mentioned several degrees:

"Then you are ready to accept ......"

"But, I refuse."

Victor's formal refusal made Hera's face instantly pale, and even her body trembled slightly.

And there is nothing surprising about this for Levy and Vladimir.

It's better to say that Victor really accepted it.

At this point, Viktor continued:

"That's just your instinct, you don't actually like me, you don't even know me."

"You just want to nurture offspring and complete your fertility."

Victor's eyes were deep, and he met Hera's kaleidoscopic eyes full of mystery.

"Because your name is 'Hera.'"

"Childbirth is a very important mission for Hera."
