Chapter 269: Fighting the Spider (2/2)
”Sound Blast.”
The magic circle created a little shockwave to push him to the side, allowing him to dodge the spider's legs. After that, he took another step to the side, pulled his left hand, and struck the other leg with his main hand. This didn't stop there.
”Shadow Slash.”
Michelle immediately released her Shadow Slash as it ran across the body before circling around the leg as if it was trying to search for an opening.
When it moved its leg to stop this, Kai already moved around the beast, heading toward its butt. However, right before he was about to strike around there, the spider shot out the web continuously.
Kai halted his movement and glanced over the string. The poison looked very strong as it managed to create a small hole in the building that got hit by that string.
”That web is dangerous. We need to leap above it to go around it.” Michelle warned him.
”But I think that might be its weakness too…” Kai furrowed his eyebrows. ”After all, it looks like the spider doesn't want anyone to come near it, right?”
”True enough.”
��Still…” Kai suddenly leaped onto its body but stopped before he touched it. The spider should be able to excrete more poison in its back, so it wasn't wise for him to step on it. At the same time, he used his Sound Blast to arrive on the other side of the spider.
”Shadow Slash.”
He launched another attack that swirled on the spider's body before he returned to the front of the spider.
”The spider's movement is a bit slow, but its reaction speed is insane. The eyes and the butt seem to be its weakness. Legs are hard, so it needs more time to break. As for the mouth, I am afraid I can't go there yet.” Kai let out a sigh.
*Boom Boom Boom!* His retreat was followed by the bombardments from other magicians.
However, Jacob was utterly shocked to listen to what he said earlier.
'Seriously? This guy only needs one round to know that much? Even Drey and Xin are not that capable…' Jacob frowned.
”I haven't searched the other parts though. There might be some hidden spots on its legs that might be weak, such as its joints or places filled with muscles. There is also its head and body, whether it's from the top or the bottom. We need to search for a way as quickly as possible because things will get real soon.” Kai informed them with a serious expression before he glanced at his two swords. ”Still…”
The two swords melted a bit after striking its legs. Luckily, he didn't use his Vibration Sword because it would get troublesome when he dealt with the problem outside.
Michelle immediately recalled the shadow swords before making new ones. Kai smiled. ”It's new again.”
”Hehe… You better thank me. Besides, it will be hard for you to bring down the Spider without a Vibration Sword, right?”
”Yeah. I think the places that have no poison are the mouth and eyes. Other than that, I don't dare to unleash my own sword.” Kai nodded.
”Now that I understand why you said it's hard to destroy its leg, despite it being another weakness.”
”Yeah. That poison turns that weakness into a deadly weapon. In any case, I will keep striking it after the first attack hit the spider.” Kai smiled before signaling Jacob and the others what to do with a hand signal. It was a simple and generalized signal, but they should understand what he really meant when they saw the situation.
”Attack its eyes!” Jacob was the first to react as he shouted according to Kai's instruction.
They immediately followed the instruction and released a little magic toward the eyes. And as expected, the spider tried to protect its eyes.
That was when Kai and Jacob went around the spider. However, the spider still managed to react and attack Kai that it deemed dangerous.
Kai looked at the incoming leg without a change in expression. Two people suddenly appeared between them and struck the leg, holding it back, so Kai could go.
Jacob seemed to go a bit farther for his winding up, but Kai didn't care. The magic earlier was to smokescreen to hide their intention for a few seconds.
During this time, Kai summoned a shadow spear and placed it right in front of its butt. Of course, he made sure to not touch the butt as to avoid being sensed by the spider.
Jacob ran as fast as he could and leaped to the sky. He utilized not only his speed but also gravity to increase his strength. After all that built up, Jacob smirked and struck the spear's butt with every ounce of his strength.
*Bang!*
