Now, fully in Arachne form, I have two points of view. Kind of confusing how they work actually. I can focus on one view, either my human's or spider's, and then the other view would just... send information to what it sees to my brain... brains? It sounds like someone telling you what they see, but at incredible speeds and you somehow understanding it all. I remember the first times I transformed to Demon form ended up giving me headaches.
Alright, now I just, start running through the street straight at the officers.
At breakneck speeds, I close the distance in a couple of seconds. I begin by literally punching the consciousness out of the guy who seems like their leader. A quick punch to the stomach while holding his back so that he isn't sent flying.
The man faints instantly, not even knowing what happened to him. Its better to knock out the leader first, it will cause fear and confusion to the enemy.
Seems like they noticed me now, they look confused. Using this opening they gave me. I do the same thing that I did to the leader to the a male officer.
Once done with that, it seems like they finally started acting against me. Starting to pull out their guns at me. Too late though, I've got 2 people on the ground unconscious with 5 seconds of coming here. They think they have the time to pull their guns and point them at me?
Oh. The last 3 seem to be 2 female officers and a male one. One of the female officers is frozen from terror seeing me, does she have arachnophobia? Well, even if someone doesn't have it, they'd still be terrified of me, like the other 2 -who are at least getting ready to attack me-, but they still have extreme terror on their faces.
Since I don't want to reveal any of my cards without needing to, I don't use magic. Instead, I punch the male officer where his diaphragm is, punching the air out of his lungs, while at the same time disarming him with my other arm. Then I start to strangle him with one arm while lifting him in the air. He doesn't have any oxygen, he's going to faint soon enough.
Looking towards the female officer, she already has her gun pointed at my human head. Body enhancement magic? A person shouldn't've been able to do that in time without arbitrarily increasing their speed. It would be a pain if they find out I can tank bullets, so instead, I sit down, as much as a spider is able to, at least. This quickly lowers my head, which causes her to miss her first shot. I then run to her and disarm her by lightly punching her hand, all while still holding the male officer.
I then proceed to punch her with strength just like their leader to instantly knock her out. My arm zooms through the air and reaches her solar plexus almost instantly. The punch knocks her out instantly, and then she is sent several meters away from the knockback. Well she didn't hit her head hard from what I heard while she was falling, so she should be fine.
Lastly, I turn to the terrified officer, who, isn't terrified anymore, it seems. That's because she is already unconscious. That's some serious arachnophobia you have to fix, girl.
For the last officer -the one I am choking- I look at him in the eyes. He is terrified. He tries to pry my hand off his neck but is unable to, his strength isn't anywhere near enough to pry off a finger with 2 arms, let alone a hand.
He quickly falls unconscious like the others from the lack of oxygen. Thankfully, he faints quickly enough, meaning he wouldn't have any lasting damage from oxygen deprivation.
Ignoring the five unconscious men around me, I quickly use detection magic. Using... not so much mana to fuel the detection, just enough to locate every person in a 100 meter radius.
Detection magic works like a radar. It gives me a picture of a sphere, which I am the center of, and then it shows red dots where people are. Making the detection go through walls consumes more mana, but it isn't much of a problem for me.
There. Looks like they've got the location right. I'd have hated to beat up a group of people for nothing. There are quite a few people under the building, in its basement, probably. There are also several people dotting the building here and there, they act like patrols, further reinforcing the notion of their base being here.
"----!" I suddenly heard someone whispering, I almost missed it even with my enhanced senses.
What!? Where!?
Following the sound, I turn to the female officer who fainted on her own. I realize she is holding something in her hand.
"-------!" I heard the whispering again. Now focusing on it, I realized that's a phone. The sounds unintelligible because of her hand covering the phone's speaker.
She had called someone while I knocked out her friends. It is likely she called New Dawn. They'll track the phone because nobody's answering, especially since the call was sent by someone who just went on a mission, they'll respond as quickly as possible.
This is...
I remove the phone from her hand, lift it in the air and then drop it. While it is in the air, I lift my right scythe and then swing it horizontally t the left. Cutting the phone cleanly in half.

This should disrupt their tracking a bit. But it isn't enough.
I don't have much time, I have to head in now. I'll make it quick.
Running inside the building, I use my spider head to look to the left while my human head looks to the right. Any patrol is immediately sliced by my scythes, stabbed by my legs, or punched through at their vitals.
I quickly find the stairs leading to the basement. Not big enough for my current form to go through, I use earth magic to forcefully widen the stairway as I descend.
"What's that sound? Someone's going down the stairs?"
"ain't that a little too many footsteps for one person?"
"It ain't time to change patrols, right?"
Aaaand I slash through those 3, disconnecting everything below their stomachs from everything above their stomachs in one swoop with my left scythe.
"""What the hell!?"""
This is the basement, there are roughly 20 people here. So I start with some minor body enhancement magic and then rush in.
Then comes a one-sided slaughter. Quickly killing people using the same method I used on the patrols, sometimes using their bodies as shields, other times just shrugging off the bullets that bounce off me while moving forward to attack another criminal.
There is the occasional magic as well, it looks like several of them had telekinesis magic and would send flying knives and daggers at me, but those would just hit my body with a *klang* as if metal was hitting metal. Which means those were useless as well.
It only took a handful of minutes to completely wipe out the room, only leaving a mess of gore behind. After confirming everyone's death using detection magic, I zoomed through the stairs and the rest of the building and hid away. Just in time as reinforcements came to the unconscious officers.
Now that I think about it, they would remember me, since they saw me. And I attacked them... Even if I killed the smugglers, that would be seen as random mass murder, probably, since I was in the area...

Not a good first impression, is it?
