27 Unexpected Surprise (1/2)
After the chamber of spiders were defeated the party regrouped and ate a quick meal before setting out deeper into the cave. To Alice's surprise she saw the level up notification that she must have over looked while fighting the spiders. 'It's about time I leveled again, ' she thought to herself before bringing up the 'status' window as they slowly made their way through a narrow passage way.

Feeling the familiar rush of power over take her, Alice was excited to see how much more damage she would be able to do to the spiders.
”We have reached the last chamber, after this we can go down to the second level so lets finish this pretty quick. ” Eric said as he and Josh stepped out to the center of the chamber and held aggro of the spiders that quickly rushed to attack them.
Fighting the spiders with a little more efficiency than the previous chambers the party made quick work of the spiders not taking any damage. Not wasting any time the group started to walk down the stairway until they reached a huge room with slightly larger spider webs covering the walls and ceiling.
”Remember to be careful for the webs the spiders will shoot, Yuki, Alex be sure to watch above us and use your spells to protect the rest of us from web attacks. ” Eric said as he brought his shield up and moved to the center of the large room.
”HHHUUUUUAAAAAAA!!!”
Eric used his 'war cry' skill without warning knowing his party was ready. Spiders twice the size of the ones on the first floor came crawling out from webs and lowering themselves from the ceiling as the party got into formation.
Yuki, and Alex both used their magic to attack the spiders coming from the ceiling while Alice used her 'Shadow Zone' spell to slow the movements of the spiders on the ground. While not as effective as the first floor her spell still slowed their movements giving the party just enough time to think before they acted.
Suddenly five webs shot towards Eric and Josh while the two Mage's where preoccupied with the spiders trying to come from above. Seeing this Alice jumped behind Yumi and quickly charged up five 'Fireballs' and firing them at the webs destroying them and gaining the thanks of Josh and Eric.
'I am happy I decided to let the two girls join the party, ' Eric thought to himself as he blocked the attacks of numerous spiders and used various different skills to counter attack them. After fighting for what felt like a hour the party started a small fire to take a breather after the room was cleared.
”Nice work everyone as long as we keep this up we should be able to finish the floor pretty quickly, the last floor only has one chamber before the boss room. Hopefully we can finish this today, once we let our MP recover a little we will move to the next area. ” Eric said as everyone continued to take a rest.
”KiKiKiKi ”
The party heard a monster quickly approaching them as they shot up into formation and prepared for more spiders. Crashing though part of the wall the Spider Queen slowly crawled out of the hole she made. Long creepy blade like legs slowly pulled the Queens body out of the hole to show her smooth black exoskeleton with red stripes covering her body.

”Fuck it's the Queen everyone be careful get behind me! ” Eric said as he used 'War Cry' getting the Queens attention. Blocking attack after attack from the Queen, Eric called out asking for a buff causing Josh to give him a defense buff then jumping next to Eric to help tank the Queen.
Yuki not wanting to let the queen move from her position slowly raised both of her hands 'Hands of Ninigi' two large hands made from the cave reached up grabbing a hold of the Queen causing her to lose control of four of her legs and not be able to move very well. Alex Let out 'water blade' one after another attacking the Queens eyes while Alice made one huge 'Fireball' and sent it flying at the Queens head.
Sensing the danger the Queen shot out a continuous string of web at the 'Fireball' coming at her slowly pushing the attack away from her at the cost of 15,000 MP. Breaking free of her cage the Spider Queen jumped back onto the wall and let out a cry.
”KKiiiiiii!!!!!!!!”

Having used her 'Call of the Spider Queen' skill she went back into her hole and left the party to be attacked by all the renaming spiders on the second floor. ”Josh, hang back and focus on healing for now! ” Eric said as he used his aggro skills to try and hold back as many spiders as he could.
”Shadow let's go all out, just make sure to stay alive, ” Alice said to Little Shadow as the party faced a hundreds of spiders coming their direction. ”Shadow Zone” Alice said out loud activating her spell, to her surprise the spells range and effectiveness had increased by quite a bit due to her now having 100 INT. Knowing they were still in a bad situation Alice took out the weapon ornament she had received as part of her last dungeon and system quest. She quickly attached it to the weapon and watched as it seemed to get absorbed.
