Chapter 270: Tasha (1/2)
”Scree!” The spider screamed when he felt his butt was pierced by something.
Kai and Jacob immediately leaped backward because they knew the spider would release its web from there. And it turned out they were right. The moment it spurted out, the shadow spear melted due to the poison.
Still, Kai looked at the spider and saw how the hole was dripping out blood. He had noticed this place earlier from when the spider released its web when he was about to strike its butt. The place that was protected like that was bound to be one of its weaknesses. And he developed a simple but devious plan to get the first strike.
And due to that strike, the spider turned around, looking at Kai and Jacob with its red eyes. Realizing that the spider was focusing on them, they took another leap back to make a distance.
”We succeeded.” Kai thought while smiling. 'The plan is to bring its attention to us for the time being while damaging its body. Luckily, the first strike succeeded. In this case, we can focus on striking its butt or eyes. I will be doing the opposite and continuously hit its legs. I believe it will start crumbling soon.'
”We have no change of plan. Keep attacking the eyes and butt.” Kai commanded when Jacob was about to attack.
After nodding to Kai, he leaped toward the spider.
The spider shot out a poisonous thread, but Jacob had expected it and jumped to the side, only to meet its right leg.
Jacob struck the leg with his hammer after noticing that the head had turned around and was about to shoot another string toward him. However, he put only a bit of force to this strike, allowing the spider to pinch him to the ground. But before he touched the ground, a green magic circle appeared, blowing him away.Of course, the direction was where the spider's head couldn't spit its string.
It was the support from Kai, so he was not going to waste it. The moment he slipped, he stepped on the ground and launched him back to the air. Taking another spin, he struck the floor with his hammer. ”Force Lance!”
A dark green line appeared from his hammer, running through the ground like a cable before a magic circle appeared right below the spider's head.
It pulled the ground and turned it into a spike that struck the spider from below.
”Nice one.” Kai smiled and placed his hand on the ground, creating a black magic circle. ”Shadow Manipulation. Bind!”
Michelle had created a technique to control the shape of her shadow, and Kai's creativity added spice to her magic. One of the results was this magic. A few chain-shaped shadows emerged from within the magic circle, flying toward the spider and clutching its body.
”Now!” Kai shouted, knowing the chance would only be a few seconds.
Seeing how the chains were able to restrain the spider, the supports immediately released another barrage of magic toward its eyes.
”Scree!” The spider released out a roar before a series of explosions occurred.
*Boom Boom Boom!*
By the looks of it, the magic hit the eyes, but the spider moved its giant body and blew the winds.
”…” Kai frowned. Others might not notice it, but he listened to the sound and realized what happened. 'The chain cannot contain him because of the lack of strength in the magic itself. However, as a surprise, it can stop him for a few seconds. But it seems there are toxins everywhere other than its body, eyes, and mouth. The chains melted in a split second, and the spider let the magic hit his head instead of eyes.'
This monster was indeed a troublesome opponent. The spider let out another scream before it leaped toward Kai with its giant body.
”Seriously?” Kai twitched his eyebrows and leaped back. Unfortunately, the spider moved one step ahead and shot out its string from the mouth.
”Sound Blast.”
”Oscillation Shield.”
Kai used a two-layered shield. The outer one was his Sound Blast, protecting him from the string by blowing it away in all directions. Luckily, he was going backward, so the residual coming above him and below him either flew to the sky or stuck on the ground.
At the same time, this was the first time he received an attack like this, so he used his Oscillation Shield to ensure his safety.
Seeing this, Jacob appeared next to the spider and swung his hammer. The spider had predicted this as it moved its front leg already.
”!!!” Jacob sensed the incoming leg and stopped his swing for a split second, allowing the spider to strike on that hammer instead of him. ”That is dangerous. To think this spider intelligence is so high…”
Jacob had no choice other than retreating. He glanced at his hammer and found a hole in the middle of his hammer. ”That poison is annoying as well. If that spider doesn't have this poison, we can easily win.”
He clicked his teeth, glancing at Kai, who was still struggling with the string.
Suddenly, a few magic flew toward the spider's eyes again, trying to blind the spider.
*Boom Boom Boom!*
This time was a bit different. Xin and Drey moved to the eyes, trying to destroy at least one of them.
