163 Chapter 163: Ten Seconds 2

The Black Arachnids landed several meters away from the point of explosion. They deduced that the self detonation of two Pseudo Mortal Moulting Experts and the missile drills they launched would surely have been enough to slay a Demonic Beast God Descendent! It might have even been overkill but to make sure that they have slain the demon dog. After winning, they felt extremely proud on themselves for attaining victory from such a formidable foe!

"Hahahaha, we won! Even a Demonic Beast God descendent was slain by us! We are truly invincible when we are together!" A Black Arachnid proudly chided as he raised his blade-like arms.

"My queen, we have won." The leader murmured to himself in the language of arachnia while holding the unconcious body of their queen. He slowly kneeled and lowered the body of their queen with car as another Black Arachnid went to check her condition.

"Eldest brother, Ghuryp is still alive but is heavily injured after suffering the blow of the demon dog. His location is somewhere three hundred steps north from our position. However, Kygrl and Fiserdt, they..." The Black Arachnid with the slimmest physique reported.

"They have made meritorious service to the ribe. When her majesty is awake, I shall request for the two of them to be written on the Tablet of Heroes. As for Ghuryp, we shall go check his condition immediately." The leader of the Arachnid Guards suggested which lightened the mood of their group.

"Sir, what should we do about the human that fled?" The Black Arachnid with bulkiest body grunted.

"We shall...!" The leader felt something omimous from the tingling feeling he felt. It was something that all spider would innately have as some would call it the Spider Sense which is something similar to a sixth sense for them. It was not just him but also the remaining members of the Arachnud Guards.

"That is..." They turned around to look at the direction where their Spider Senses were acting up to and the location it came from was where the explosion occurred!

Suddenly, they felt that familiar terrorizing aura! They shivered as they saw a familiar figure emerging from the drifting smoke around the place of explosion. A half-meter black dog with strange white marking on his left side was seen smiling with a giant three-headed hound above him looking at them with those three pairs of blood red eyes, daunting them from the savageness in its eyes.

"Hehe, you thought I was dead? I would have to disappoint you! to you, guys!" Rian smirked while leaping towards the Arachnid Guards.

"No, this can't be... He can't be unscathe from all of our attacks, can he?!" the smallest one of the group dumbfoundedly stared at Rian. With the reappearance of Rian, they subconciously thought of retreating from such a monster.

'He has to have sustained a significant amount of damage. No matter how strong he is, he must have been inflicted with some sort of serious injury or even if he did not sustain great damage, his bloodline strength and energy would most likely be depleted!' The leader calmly analyzed and communicated his thoughts through everyone of them in a fraction of a second which helped the group regain their confidence.

'I don't know how he survived or how much power he still has but we don't have much time maintaining our strengths either. The Blood Infusion skill still has it's limits but I am sure that we are faring better than the demon dog! Thus, we must take this oppurtunity to truly kill the beast this time around! The only choice that remains is to fight!' The leader slowly paased over the queen to another Araxhnid Guard while he instructed his team.

'Zsiwa, guard Her Highness. You will stay at the back if anything unfavorable happens I want you to reatreat with the queen.' The leader told the Black Arachnid with the slimmest physique who quickly nodded. After doing that, he raised his right arm and initiated the attack towards Rian.

"Fight!" They all roared and followed their leader faithfully!

...

Even Rian did not know how he exactly guarded against their attacks, he was even more shocked than anyone when he found out that he was able to guard the detonation of two Pseudo-Mortal Moulting Beasts because it happened too quickly!

When he was guarding against the attack, the attack mysteriously disappeared. It was as though it was absorbed by something similar to a black hole. At the same time, the explosions of the attacks still occurred with no delay. Rian sensed that it was transported to an area of 20 meters near them which made it seem that the explosions hit Rian. The fog that was formed was the result of Dylan's attack against Kygrl and Fiserdt that hit the ground.

Hence, there was no suspicions on the side of the Balck Arachnids whatsoever. So, the only thing that he had to take care of were the missile drills which the other four fired.

Although it was still a dangerous barrage of attacks, Rian did not seem worried when he guarded against them because compared to the self detonation of the two Black Arachnids, they were far weaker. To counter those missiles, Rian merely commanded his bloodline shadow to cover him and strengthen it's defenses.

He made sure to make no more additional movement. He prepared himself to use all of his bloodline skills when the time was right because during this state where his blood essence is being circulated at an unbelievable pace, he could use his abilities for at most three times. Thus, he was waiting for the apt moment to release his power.

He waited for exactly four seconds before revealing himself. Although this wasted more than half of the duration he could use. This ensured that the Arachnid Guards would be caught off guard. During these short amount of time, he was able to prepare himself to use two bloodline skills almost simultaneously! But he was time-pressed since he only had two seconds left!

Rian saw that the remaining seven Black Arachnids were already charging towards him in a triangular formation. They formed four rows with their leader leading them at the front, two more following closely behind him, another three at the base and at the tail of the formation, Zsiwa could be found holding the Spider Queen.Rian knew that what was happening was already at the critical juncture of the fight. So, he did not dare to be careless for a slight moment because one mistake could lead disastrous results.

'Fire: Dark Venom Beams!' Almost immediately after the leader issued his command, the last three detached themselves from the rest and executed the attack. It was done by opening the mouths of their spider heads and releasing three dark purple beams directly to Rian.

When it passed through some trees, despite not touching it, the tree was being corroded from the extremely dense poison! The power of three beams combined was not any weaker than an all-out attack of a high level Mortal Moulting Realm.

"Have a taste of my Roar of Decimation!" Rian quickly stopped in his tracks. He put his upper right paw forward and his lower left leg backward. He stretched his neck as he opened his mouth. Each of his actions was of course mimed by his bloodline shadow but this Roar of Decimation's strength was triple the strength of the one he used against the Angus and the others.

"RAAAAAAWRR!!"

Terrifying black winds and unfathomable darkness started to blow as Rian's roar resounded in the direction of the beams. When it met the three Dark Venom, it seemed to have met it's match as a deafening boom rippled throughout the forest which made the surrounding trees bend from the clash!

*BOOOM!*

Nonetheless, this stalement only lasted for a moment before the Dark Venom Beams were completely overpowered by the Roar of Decimation! With nothing to obstruct its path, it continued to destroy everything on its path.

Seeing their attack failed, the three Black Arachnid's quickly went back to their formation and escape the roar's range in lightning speed. They seemed to be initiating yet another attack after regrouping. This time, they positioned themselves at Rian's left side which is about eight meters away from their prior position.

'Let us use our strongest attack! Pour a portion of your power to me!' The leader ordered as all seven warriors connected themselves with him using the webstrings that was formed from their blood. Somehow, they looked like an arrow from the sky. They injected half of their remaining origin energies to their leader which made him illuminate from the overflowing power he recieved!

'Spider Ancestor, bless thee with thy strength. I call upon the Eight Dark Spider Lances!' The Arachnid Guard's leader chanted as he used the strength he recieved to condense eight black spears resembling spider legs.

These spider lances depleted all of the energy the guards injected onto him. They started spinning at an alarming rate and created mini vortices of origin energy which further strengthened the spears every revolution!

The only thing remaining was to use his Mental Strength to lock on a target! When the leader was just about to do so, he saw that Rian was already facing them! Cold air flowed into his spine when he saw Rian taking a familiar stance. "Oh no! Is he..."

Indeed, Rian predicted that they would attack him on his right since he eliminated the left side with his roar. Thus, he quickly gathered the energy he bided and released it on his 3 o'clock which was precisely where the Arachnid Guards were. He quickly released it and initiated yet another Roar of Decimation!

"RAAAAAAWWR!" The terrifying black winds and darkness appeared once more, leveling the entire topsoil of the area it was unleashed upon. This version of the Roar of Decimation seemed to be even faster and stronger than before!

"This! How could it be more faster and destructive than the last one!" The three Black Arachnids, who just evaded Rian's Roar of Decimation earlier, were all shocked to see this.

"Focus! Evade to the right!" The leader was rather quick with his descisions. He quickly assessed that if they tried to push to their right, they might not be able to cross the range of the roar since they were not even at the central range of the attack! Thus, returning to the left side was the only safest choice right now.

However, despite their quick reaction speeds, the Roar of Decimation which traveled close the speed of sound closed in on them swiftly. There was only five meters left until they got out of the range of the Roar of Decimation. Without hesitating, the leader used five of the eight spider lances to defend against the impact of the roar every one meter.

*Tvuush* *Tvuuzzzhh* *Boom* *Boom*

Finally, they managed to escape the Roar of Decimation by a hair's breadth with every single one of them alive. The feeling of escaping death was most fulfilling no matter what the species. However, the leader did not relax despite winning over death. He commanded the three remaining spider lances of the Eight Dark Spider Lances to pierce through Rian. "Die, demon dog!"

"Shit! Time is up..." Rian was at his most vulnerable state after using two consecutive Roar of Decimation . Even his bloodline shadow was turning illusory as time trickled down to the end of the duration of his Bloodline Burst Skill.

Waves of weakness crept all over his body while his body was gradually turning back to his prior size. With little strength to defend, the three spider lances pierced Rian!
