Chapter 45: Spider Matriarch

So, the factor about our base being in a superb place to defend?

Yup, neglect about that.

Fucking spiders.

Sure, spiders as huge as our greatest doggo attacked us whereas climbing down the wall we had been camped towards.

Actually, dozens of them.

Look, I haven’t got arachnophobia, however even I used to be near screaming like a little bit woman after I noticed them and heard the disgusting noise of a whole lot of legs tapping onto the stone wall as they climbed down.

The great factor is that I lastly noticed Sophie’s sister in motion, displaying off her spectacular mana pool.

A ten-year-old woman stretched out her arms in the direction of the spiders after which became a human flamethrower.

Orange flames got here into existence, burning down the spiders and making them screech in ache. Up till now, I did not know that spiders might scream from ache as they burned.

Unsurprisingly, they’re tremendous flammable.

Additionally unsurprisingly, our camp made out of wooden and skinned animal leather-based was as nicely. In order the burning spiders fell down from the wall, they landed proper on our camp.

That was the primary time I noticed Sophie hit her sister.

Properly, she solely smacked the again of her head, nevertheless it’s one thing.

So, I proceed to chop down the spiders that attacked us whereas others attempt to gather as a lot stuff as they’ll. Leathers, bottles, and issues we made out of animal bones or leather-based, equivalent to flasks we made out of hides.

The monsters are pretty simple to kill, and their most repeated assault is simply dashing onto us or attempting to leap. To be trustworthy, falling down and burning spiders are extra harmful. Biscuit even takes a chunk into just a few spiders, however this time he is not calling them meals, so I assume even this glutton has some limits.

However issues rapidly change; in between smaller spiders, we spot greater ones.

However the matriarch does not give a rattling.

Whereas within the air, I really feel a wave of mana from her, and her legs push as if towards an invisible wall, and he or she flies again in the direction of the Maya she kicked.

The heck!?

Earlier than the spider reaches Maya, flames come into existence, and an enormous wall of flames seems in entrance of it. As soon as once more, the spider dodges midair, utilizing an invisible platform to leap.

Then I hear the terrifying whistle, and the spear buries itself deep into the spider. The screech it makes hurts my ears.

Decided to make use of the chance, I sprint on the spider whereas Leon assaults it as nicely, and a stone spear is ready to hit certainly one of its legs as Sophie does one thing that makes the spider freeze.

Wanting to guard their matriarch, dozens of spiders proceed to sprint at us however are mowed down by Hadwin and others. The outdated man continues to only stand in the midst of them, and so they proceed to assault him, attempting to chunk him, however they’re unable to pierce his pores and skin for some purpose, and he continues to maul them with what seems like a smaller tree. Each hit sends a spider flying away with a damaged physique.

Rattling, outdated man…

I attain the matriarch and he or she swings her leg at me. I partly dodge it, take in a few of the power, and use it to propel myself nearer.

Lastly, I stab my dagger deep contained in the spider, and my mana flares up across the blade, making the impact of [Oscillation] greater.

Nonetheless, I’ve to leap again instantly after because the spider tries to chunk me with its huge fangs.

Then, as a substitute of attempting to run away, it dashes at Leon whereas dodging his stone spears.

Maya then jumps in entrance of the person whereas wanting amazingly calm and calculating. As if there isn ́t an enormous spider speeding at her.

She waits till the final attainable second and stabs her spear by the top of the matriarch. The spider bites at her shoulder, however the mana round her higher physique flares up into existence, creating armor round her chest.

Nonetheless, the fangs penetrate her shoulder whereas crushing the translucent armor, nevertheless it does not get any response from Maya, and the girl stabs once more. On the similar time, a bathe of stones hits the matriarch, and a stone spear too, and the large white spider slowly dies.

The dark-skinned, athletic younger lady seems round calmly whereas pushing the useless spider away from her, and the fangs exit her pores and skin. Our gazes meet for a second. She flashes me a shiny, cocky smile and turns round.

Hmm, what did Tess say just a few weeks in the past? That there’s one other individual with [Focus] among the many passengers?

I assume I haven’t got to ask Tess who it’s.
