297 Queen Arachne (2/2)
How could Raven shy away from a direct confrontation? Of course, he too charged forward and met the Queen Spider with just as much ferocity that she emits.
Legs meet Arms. The spiky sharp legs of the Queen Arachne would be repulsed by pillar-sized arms manifesting from Raven's techniques. Each time they clashed, the huge spider could feel the dispersed strength of both hers and Raven's attack assaulting her body, causing internal injuries that even the Queen Arachne herself isn't aware of.
As their battle went on, the spider could feel that Raven was becoming faster and faster, his attacks were also becoming stronger as well.
But it's not like that at all. Raven was neither getting faster nor stronger, it was the spider who's getting weaker. The internal injuries she's receiving is now affecting her. Even though her tough carapace is only damaged at best, Raven still achieved his goals.
And when the Queen Arachne was exhausted enough, Raven's eyes gleamed with a determined light as he whispered:
”Time to end this.” Raven switched back to the hammer's default form and charged towards the spider.
As the Queen Arachne saw him coming, it tried to intercept him by spitting out acid at him but to her surprise, Raven seemingly disappeared.
She looked around her, trying to search for him but couldn't locate him. She was about to go back to her nest since her eggs just hatched and all but before she could do so, her beastial instincts screamed danger.
Raven was high up in the air. With a sudden boost of speed earlier, he evaded the spider's acid and used broken tree earlier to boost the height of his jump.
As soon as he reached the peak, he mobilized his energy and concentrated. Feeling the momentum building up inside of him. His body spun horizontally, and as gravity pulled him down to the earth, the bubbling momentum on his body exploded, transforming him into a shooting star which directly fell on top of the Queen Arachne's body.
*BOOM!*
An explosion that shook the very earth, occurred. The Queen's Arachne was flattened to the ground. Her legs were severed from her body due to the impact. The spider's eyes dilated as it lost consciousness.
And as if that wasn't enough, the ground beneath her cave in. Causing both her and Raven to fall down to where her nest originally is. The webs that are holding the bundle of eggs were snapped, causing it to fall down. Some of the eggs were shattered and the spiderlings who just came out of their eggs, were similarly flattened by the falling debris.
In the middle of some rubbles, a chunk of rock slid down. Revealing a sweating Raven, who dusted himself off and admired the destruction that he caused.
He looked at the hammer on his hand with satisfaction and felt elated that he's getting more and more proficient in harnessing the power of that momentum.
Raven then looked at the corpse of the Queen Arachne. He then walked towards after confirming that it was dead. He took a sharp dagger out of his spatial ring and started carving out the head.
Green-ish blood dyed his hands while some even splattered at his face, nevertheless Raven continued carving until he felt that he hit a hard object. From then on, he used his hands to tear away the remaining flesh from that solid object.
With a forceful tug, he pulled the round object out of the Queen Arachne's head and began inspecting it.
”Good. She really has a Beast Core. This should be useful.” He said, placing the Beast Core inside his spatial ring.
Beast Cores is the source of a Demonic Beasts strength. These Beast Cores contained abundant energies that Raven could use for his future breakthroughs.
Raven planned to jump outside of the nest and search for the twin pixies. However, he suddenly felt strong winds kicking in. At first he ignored it but it swiftly transformed into a powerful gale that almost lifted him off the ground.
Raven panicked, he didn't know what was going on. He tried keeping his eyes open but the strong winds were quickly drying out his eyes. He squinted and looked around him while shielding his face using his arms.
Amidst the chaos around him. Raven's heart suddenly palpitated. Alarm bells started going off and for the first time ever since he stepped out of the Kingdom, he felt genuine fear.
A pair of eyes that belongs to a predator was staring at him with lightning coursing through them. Raven felt so scared that he couldn't even take out his hammer or think about defending himself.
However, as fast as that predator eyes appeared, it disappeared in a similar way. As soon as it went away, the strong winds disappeared and Raven could only stare at the sky with a blank expression.
