Chapter 49: The Queen Jawfiends Retaliation (2/2)
However, the Queen Jawfiend's eyes suddenly moved towards Arion's direction and made a big leap towards the right side of Arion, as if trying to dodge Arion's attack.
Because of the combined power from all its eight legs, it was able to make a quick yet big jump towards the side, taking Arion by surprise, who was still in mid-air.
But as the Queen Jawfiend jumped, the grey thread continued to extend from all its eight legs, forming eight thick grey strings that continued to extend in a straight line along with the movements of the Queen Jawfiend.
Arion was confused as he landed on the ground seeing that the Queen Jawfiend was continuing to jump here and there, the same thing Arion was doing before, only now that the roles were reversed.
It seemed as if the Queen Jawfiend knew about Arion's dangerous ability—Doom Fang since its children were connected to its mind before they died.
However, the Queen Jawfiend was jumping so high that Arion wasn't simply able to catch up no matter how many times he tried to leap towards the Queen Jawfiend.
But he finally noticed that each time the Queen Jawfiend landed, the eight grey strings extending from its legs were intertwining with the other strings it had left in its wake, forming a large web which was slowly closing off his escape routes each time the Queen Jawfiend jumped around.
*ROARRR!!!*
Finally seeing that the Queen Jawfiend was subtly trying to trap him, Arion let out an enraged roar as he leaped towards the Queen Jawfiend with his claws out and jaws wide open.
But this time, the Queen Jawfiend didn't jump but instead spat out a dark liquid in Arion's direction.
Arion didn't have a place to grab onto since every other angle was covered with web, nor did he have the ability to dodge its venom in mid-air.
He could only bring up his hands to guard himself against its venom. Alas, that wasn't enough to stop the venom from injuring him.
”GRAWWWR!!*
Arion painfully roared as the Queen Jawfiend's venom fell on his arms, and some of them fell on other parts of his body as well.
Because of this, he lost his balance and fell from mid-air, crashing onto the ground.
The Queen Jawfiend took this opportunity to completely seal off all the escape routes Arion could possibly take by completing its webbing.
It had been jumping here and there meticulously to trap its prey and eat it without worrying about any retaliation from it.
Arion was painfully growling while a dark grey web made out of thick and tensile string caged him inside.
The dark venom was continuously burning away at his skin and muscles, or to be precise, he felt like they were slowly melting them.
But it wasn't enough to melt right through to his bones since his enhanced healing factor was already kicking in, and his body had some resistance towards its venom since his ability Doom Fang stemmed from the venom of the Queen Jawfiend's children.
”GRWWWR!”
Still, feeling the burning sensation on his skin and muscles was no joke, and he was writhing in pain on the cold ground, trying to suppress his injuries.
His enhanced healing ability still had a hard time fighting back the venom or neutralizing it since it was too potent, way more than the venom that was coursing through Arion's jaws.
The Queen Jawfiend was satisfied seeing its prey being trapped finally, unable to jump around or escape from it.
Seeing Arion writhe in pain, it didn't waste this chance and climbed above its own web.
Eyeing its vulnerable prey squirming on the ground, it inserted one of its legs through its webbing and pierced Arion's arm, all the way through his flesh.
”ROARRR!!!” A hoarse roar escaped from Arion's mouth as its long leg with a sharp tip pierced through his arm.
Not only that, but he also felt its venom being injected into his bloodstream!
