Chapter 272: A Tool (1/2)
”Tasha!” Kai shouted after striking the spider's mouth from the side. The spider was trying to either spurt him from his mouth or hit him with his leg.
Yet, it abandoned that thought the moment Tasha released her arrow again.
As expected, the spider seemed to be afraid of lightning. Although Kai didn't understand the reason, he immediately shifted his balance to launch another strike.
The spider, on the other hand, leaped to the back while trying to spat another string from its mouth, only to find Kai had moved to another place with his Sound Blast.
It then tried to search for Kai's location before sensing another arrow coming toward him. Hence, he decided to shoot the arrow down with its web.
The moment it landed on the ground, Kai appeared on its right side. His weapon had turned into one shadow glaive instead of two swords. The black energy covered the blade as Kai struck the back leg as hard as possible.
”Shadow Slash!”
On top of that, Michelle controlled the Shadow Slash and made it circling around the legs. It was the exact same road to boot.
Since making it go around the body didn't do any damage, she rather made it in the same track, so it could cut twice, thrice, and so on until it grazed the thin leg.
”!!!” Kai found it interesting because he listened to the sound and realized it got a bit deeper. Whether it was a millimeter or even less than that, the plan was indeed working. As long as they kept doing it, cutting the leg without his Vibration Sword would not be a pipe dream anymore.
”We got this.” Michelle was also pretty happy about it.
Kai didn't put it on his face, but he was also excited. He then leaped to another side because the spider was about to turn.
Suddenly, the spider leaped to the sky, trying to hit him with its giant body.
Michelle immediately summoned a scythe from his elbow that he used as a support to hold the spider body from touching him. After that, he used another Sound Blast to launch him.
Jacob, on the other hand, observed Kai's battle. He seemed to feel there might be something they could do, but he didn't know what it was. That was why he decided to step back a bit to remember it.
Luckily, Tasha's lightning seemed to be controlling the battle. Just like how the current arrow flying toward the spider that was in mid-air, the spider shifted its giant body, so it could shoot down Tasha's arrow.
Because of this, the spider was off-balance, so he noticed it couldn't change the place it landed. And Kai found out that the place where it would land was near the biggest tower that it attached its web first.
Seeing this as an opportunity, Kai leaped toward the building, entering it from the window. He then aimed forty-degree lower and waved his sword.
”Shadow Slash!”
The dark wave ran through the ground, cutting the concrete floor. Due to the inclination of the cut, the top part of the building slid and fell on top of the spider.
*Bam!*
”Scree!” The spider finally let out a scream in pain. This scream was good news for them because they finally found a ray of hope.
He smirked and winked at Tasha as if he was telling her his plan.
To everyone's surprise, Tasha seemed to understand what he wanted to do. She released another arrow toward the spider.
As much as it wanted to drown in pain, the spider leaped out of the piles of rubbles to save its life.
Kai furrowed his eyebrows and muttered. ”That spider… Why is that spider so afraid of lightning?”
”Maybe it's his weakness?”
”No, I don't know why, but I feel that is not the reason. I am going to have Tasha's magic to hit it first. If that is truly the weakness, I will summon all lightning element magicians in our elite group. If it's not, the situation will not be in our favor.” Kai sighed.
”Alright. Should I grab the arrow and throw it to the spider?”
”Yes. Just change its direction. The power will be boosted with my Sound Blast.” Kai nodded.
”Affirmative.”
Kai then leaped again to the side of the spider, striking the same spot from earlier.
As expected, it got a bit deeper again. At this rate, he should be able to cut this leg within three to five strikes. It would take him five minutes to do this, so he could only break another three before Ria finished the casting of her magic.
Hence, the moment the spider tried to dodge another incoming arrow, Kai used his Sound Blast to go near it while positioning himself above the spider.
A thread made of shadow grasped the arrow as Kai spun her body to change the arrow's direction before he created Sound Blast Magic Circle, launching the arrow toward the spider.
”Scree!” The spider never expected this, so he spurted out a thread from its mouth, sticking it to one of the buildings in front of him.
To everyone's surprise, the spider suddenly pulled himself by using the string to avoid the arrow.
”!!!” Kai was surprised, but he suddenly picked up another sound coming from the ground. ”Jacob!”
”Ye-yes?!”
”Since you are free right now, go there while thinking of your plan.” Kai pointed his finger to an open area. ”Do you know how to play 'whack a mole'?”
