"Scree!"

The spider screamed as his leg just got blown away.

"Got him!" Kai muttered to himself. Even though the weapon in his hand was slightly deformed due to the poison on the spider's leg, destroying it was the biggest proof that they could win this.

"We are going to proceed with this. Match my movement, Jacob." Kai commanded.

"Understood."

Kai took a deep breath and leaped again toward the three legs. He noticed that the blood dripping from the current legs contained poison, considering it slightly melted the asphalt.

"I need to take that into account as well," Kai muttered before striking the three legs and sending the Dark Wave to thin the legs.

"Scree!" The spider was thoroughly angered by Kai. It spun its body as quickly as possible and tried to ram on Kai.

"…" Kai didn't dodge this time. Instead, he struck the spider's mouth, waiting for it to open its mouth and releasing its thread.

Yet, the spider moved its right leg to attack him instead.

Kai was surrounded from two directions. He could simply use his Sound Blast to launch himself in another direction. But once again, he struck the spider's leg with his sword. Then, he used that momentum to spin his body.

"Michelle. A few throwing knives, please," Kai requested while throwing the sword right toward the spider's eyes. As expected, it immediately stopped when its eyes got targeted.

A few black knives appeared on his hand as he threw them right inside the spider's mouth.

"You have thick skin outside, but I wonder how it is inside?" Kai smirked, remembering that the inside of his butt was soft. That was the reason he could injure it. He hoped this was the same.

However, before it reached its mouth, the spider released its thread and melted the knives away.

"Just kidding." Kai smirked as he threw a few more throwing knives from its eyes while using his Sound Blast to launch himself to another leg.

Jacob had finished his winding up, so all he needed to do was to appear right before the leg and pointed his weapon to this leg.

*Bang!*

Another hit struck, sending another leg flying. The spider immediately lost its balance to the left behind because the one he struck was the second left leg from the back.

Another volley of magic rained the spider down to cover on their retreat. This was Kai's plan this whole time.

Jacob glanced at him and felt impressed. 'Amazing. He was buying time earlier while trying to injure the spider with some tricks. The moment I was ready, he stopped the spider's movement and arrived at a designated spot with that weapon of his. After that, my colleague helped us in regrouping, so we can charge again for another leg. And to think this person is only a student… What a monster.'

"Don't think too much. We still have jobs to do. I hope you can keep up with me." Kai warned him. He had realized that he couldn't be hesitant on every occasion. This was the best lesson he got from Rapakha. That was why he could use some bold moves like that.

'I lose.' Jacob smirked and nodded, swearing he would help this kid to beat this spider. Even when no one believed that this kid was the biggest contributor, he would fight all of them just to tell the truth.

After another fifteen minutes.

"Got him!" Kai shouted and created a shadow from the left side of the spider. A few chains came out of the ground, strangling the spider before pulling it to the left.

Due to the loss of four legs, the spider couldn't stand up. Even leaping with the other four legs was not possible.

Still, the spider released all of its power to pull its body to the right side, waiting until the chains melted by its poison.

But it was only his wishful thinking. Five magic flew toward him, raining him down from the right side.

*Boom Boom Boom!*

The explosions pushed him to the left side again, making him unable to move.

At the same time, Jacob used the smoke produced by the explosions as a cover to come closer to the spider, specifically on top of the spider as he smashed its head as hard as possible.

*Bang!*

That loud sound echoed in everyone's ears.

Because of his momentum, Kai summoned his Sound Blast to send him flying in another direction, allowing him to dodge the incoming attack if he didn't want to die.

After all, the next attack was coming from the strongest magician in the entire US Base, Ria Ross. Kai had timed it perfectly to make sure the spider only collapsed at this time. If he destroyed the last leg on the left side, the spider might have the time to adapt and think about another plan to move its body. But with this… It's game over!

"Thank you for buying me this much time, especially without dying!" Ria Ross shouted as loud as possible, so everyone could hear her voice.

The previous bow didn't have any change, but the arrow was shining with white light. There were two torrential energies, black and white, circling around on the tip of the arrow.

"Take this attack! I have poured half of my magic power to this!"

"God's Arrow, Lokraisha!"

The arrow flew faster than a bullet while releasing an overbearing pressure. The shock wave around it was also crazy to the point it was blasting the building around her.

And that kind of attack was coming toward the spider, even for an S rank magical beast, it shouldn't be able to defend this, let alone, one that had been immobilized.

Seeing this arrow, the spider still managed to struggle for one last time. He realized that it was futile to dodge because it was hard for him to move after getting hit by so many attacks. Hence, he spurted a huge amount of string from its mouth, carrying a powerful poison.

He wanted to melt a portion of that arrow, so he could survive, but… The arrow was too powerful and fast. There seemed to be a wind barrier in front of it as well due to the pressure it brought, blowing the strings to all directions just like when Kai used his Sound Blast.

"Scree!" It let out its dying scream.

"!!!" Kai suddenly noticed something, but even so, he wasn't fast enough to react.

The arrow had arrived in front of the spider.

It was also at this time the others realized. The arrow wasn't on target, no, it was wrong. They should say that the spider used its last struggle to push himself to the left. Since he didn't have any other choice, it decided to use the binding force from Kai to move its body to the left. Even if it was only a bit, it was enough for it to escape death because the arrow actually hit the right side of its body, obliterating twenty percent of its right body along with the joints of the four right legs.

And because of the angle, the arrow struck the ground fifty meters behind the spider, penetrating the hard ground for two hundred meters before exploding.

*Boom!*

As much as Kai wanted to be astonished by the sheer power of that attack, he immediately shouted. "It's still not dead!"

"Scree…" Although the sound was low, the spider still managed to let out a sound. It was still half-dead, so it might still be able to do something even in that state.

"I have been waiting for this." Tasha smirked, releasing an arrow to the sky. The arrow turned into a magic circle and released a bolt of lightning.

"Lightning Storm!"

The lightning struck the spider, roasting it with the heat carried by the lightning.

Yet, when everything was over, Kai still picked up the same sound like the one before. It was as if the spider wasn't injured by that small lightning attack.

He was shocked, but more importantly, he needed to get back up and leaped toward the spider.

"Jacob, help me!"

Jacob's body shook. Although Kai's intention was still unknown, he knew that Kai wanted to deliver another attack to the spider because he saw Kai's summoned another dark spear on his hand, pointing it toward the spider's head.

Kai created a small magic circle to protect himself from the blood that would be spurted out from this.

As for Jacob, he was already above him, striking the spear's butt as if it was a nail.

"Ha!"

*Bang!* He hit it with all of his strength. The spear pierced through the hate and appeared on the other side of the head.

Kai listened to the sound inside the spider, noticing it got lower and lower.

"Go to eternal sleep…"

The spider didn't know why, but a scene appeared in his mind.

It was a few hundred years ago where he had yet to evolve into something like this. It was a rainy day where he hid under the tree leaves to protect himself from the rain.

Suddenly, lightning struck the tree he was on, splitting it in half and burning it. As for him, he obviously fell from the tree. Although he wasn't hit by the lightning, it was still the scariest moment of his life and remained the same even after he evolved.

He fell so high from the tree to the point he lost consciousness. Even after a few weeks, he had yet to recover. That was why he was so scared of lightning.

Remembering this incident, he realized his death was due to his fear of puny lightning. He regretted it deeply but couldn't do anything as his vision became blurry. And gradually turned dark…
