Chapter 225 Jewel Hunt – Fighting The Spider



Reign suddenly constricted his lighting to being only 1 meter around him in hopes of injuring the spider and letting him go that way. Unfortunately, the spider\'s defense was enough to let it ignore the pain of its body being shocked and burned by the lightning as it mostly only did some superficial damage to it.

Shadow quickly teleported under the spider and tried to get to Reign, unfortunately, the spider\'s reflexes were incredibly quick and it managed to block him with its legs. The other still needed some time in order to get to Reign as well, the only one that could help him now was Beast. Beast had already seen the precarious situation that Reign was in and was already aiming at the spider.

The problem however was simple, in order to make the spider hurt enough to drop Reign he needed to hit it on the head, which was coincidentally being shielded by Reign whose back was turned to him. On the other hand, Wolf was also having some troubles as the 30 or so spiders that attacked him were all quite powerful, with the weakest one being level 40.

"Don\'t worry about me, deal with the boss, I\'ll take care of these guys!" Wolf shouted as he looked at the spiders with a bloodthirsty smile. The boss was trying to force them to split, some of them would help Wolf while some would help Reign, of course, that could also be a simple misunderstanding, the monster perhaps only wanted to take care of Wolf and never thought that far ahead.

Being attacked by more than thirty monsters that were of a higher level than you would be more than enough to spell doom to most players, even those whose strength was above average would find it incredibly difficult to survive against such odds. However Wolf was different, not only was his strength way above others of the same level, his ability coincidentally was able to counter the enemies and deal incredible damage to them.

He had full faith that Reign and the others would defeat the boss, even though Reign was in a dangerous situation right now it wasn\'t as if there was nothing that he could do. Using the weapon skill would probably be enough to give him the edge and escape from the jaws of the beast. That of course was something that they would only use if there was truly no other way, for now, Reign was still struggling against the boss immensely while trying to figure out what to do.

Beast on the other side had surprisingly aimed his bow at the ceiling above the spider, he suddenly released the bowstring and something magical happened. The arrow stopped right before hitting the ceiling and actually turned to face down at the spider. Suddenly multiple arrows appeared in a circle above the boss and rained down on it.

[ Rain of Arrows ]

In order to not harm Reign, Beast had aimed the skill a bit further from him, and only about half of the spider\'s head was in the area where the arrows fell. The arrows managed to hit a couple of the spider\'s weak spots and even pierced two of its eyes after which the monster uttered a scream. Its jaws suddenly gained even more power as the monster was infuriated after getting injured, Beast\'s attack had unfortunately failed to produce the desired result and only served to make the situation a bit worse.

Beast and the others were able to see that and their hearts tightened, but before the situation could deteriorate however they saw something that made them stop for a moment. A thin lightning bolt was suddenly launched from Reign\'s head and it landed on the spider\'s head, it pierced one of its eyes to be more exact. With that, three out of the eight eyes were destroyed, spiders however usually relied on touch, vibration, and taste stimuli to navigate instead of their eyesight as it was usually quite bad.

Still, the pain of getting its eyes destroyed was still something that no being would like. Before the spider could do anything another bolt of lightning was launched at it, this time however the bolt didn\'t manage to hit an eye and only left a burn mark on its head.

Reign continued to attack the spider whilst holding the jaws back, his mouth would get puffed up as he actually inhaled some of the lightning around him, right after doing so he would actually spit the lightning out in order to attack the spider.

[ Lightning roar ( prototype ) ]

Description: A skill that the user managed to create during a dangerous situation, the user would inhale lightning around him before spitting it out. The skill however was only a prototype and as of right now didn\'t even reach even 1/5 of its potential, which was the skill called lightning roar.

Reign was a bit surprised to see that this skill was put as a prototype, it seems that what he did right now was deemed by the system as a much weaker version of a possible skill. The name of the skill seemed powerful enough as Reign remembered an anime where the protagonist and some other characters had an attack of a similar name.

Reign already had an inkling of how to improve the skill and make it more powerful, but since his situation right now was not the best one he decided not to experiment. For now, he only continued spitting out lightning bolts at his enemy, of the following 7 bolts, only 1 managed to hit another one of the spider\'s eyes.

The huge monster was infuriated further but it could do nothing, Tank and the others had managed to arrive and were currently attacking it with everything they had. Even though the spider had an incredible speed for its body and its defense was quite well, the fearsome attacks of the party were not something it could ignore.

Greenie was already using his bloodline ability as his size grew to 3.5 meters. With his fearsome strength, he battered the giant spider whilst Tank had used his [Wrecking Ball ] in order to land a powerful attack on the spider\'s back. Laura and Beast were also launching attack after attack on the monster as well.

It wasn\'t as if the spider was only taking the attacks however, its sharp legs had already cut Greenie multiple times and it even managed to stab his leg as well. Tank had been pushed against the ground as one of the legs continued to put pressure on him from above. Shadow however was suddenly nowhere to be found.

Suddenly an incredibly fast figure was beside Reign in the air, without wasting any time Shadow used his skill and sent a ball of darkness towards one of the fangs, the [ Darkness Implosion ] activated and the fang started to break down from the fierce gravitational pull that the ball exerted on it.

Reign could feel the pressure from one side being lessened greatly and he immediately started pushing against the fang with his full strength. Suddenly he could feel that the fang could no longer hold him and he immediately turned his body down while grabbing Shadow who was beside him.

With a strong kick lightning erupted as the two were down on the ground, Reign immediately let go of Shadow as the two created some space between them. Reign\'s lightning was still active and Shadow got shocked a little bit during that short moment.

Still, he had a smile on his face as he was happy about the situation, they had managed to free Reign from the monster and now, now was time to get some payback. Reign looked at the spider as he moved his arms around, they felt incredibly sore as he needed to use his full strength in order to not get crushed by the spider\'s jaws, even though this boss seemed to be one of the weaker ones at its level, it was still strong enough to deal some significant damage to them.

Reign disappeared in a flash as he appeared above Tank, he immediately slashed at the joint of the spider\'s leg as the monster shrieked loudly. His two swords managed to cut through about two-thirds of the joint before stopping. Reign quickly kicked at the leg in order to get his two swords back but the spider\'s reaction was fast as well, at the same time he managed to retrieve his swords from the joint, the spider had kicked him with the leg which made him fly off a couple of meters before falling down on the ground.

The damage done to Reign wasn\'t serious as he used his swords to defend himself, plus the leg was right next to him so it couldn\'t get enough speed or momentum to hurt him seriously. One good thing was that Tank was now free and he could fight against the spider with them again.
