Chapter 115: Spiders That Can Fire Stuff
Miles looked at the bizarre scene in front of him. From one pipe, a stream of fire, liquid in form jet out aiming towards them, while from the other, green gas oozed out with equal force to the liquid. Two substances, which were dissolving and destructive in nature when separate, became a sticky liquid when combined.
Step back! Miles shouted and grabbed the glass spray from Zalls hand while he dodged the sticky liquid. Spider fired again, but this time the substances didnt merge. He dodged the fire flying towards them and covered his mouth and nose with his clothes lest he inhaled the corrosive gas. In one hand, he was holding the sword, while in the other he was holding the glass spray.
Fuck it, I wish I had a fire elemental orb. Miles cursed under his breath as he approached the spider.
These spiders were used to attack from a range thanks to their unique nature, so when it saw the human was approaching, it fell back while kept on firing, while Miles was analyzing the shortcomings of its attacks.
The green gas is corrosive and probably poisonous, while fire is destructive. At least both the gas and the fire liquid destroy the spider webs around. Miles kited the spider to keep it away from the other webs in case it stumbled upon those behind it and called more of its friend, and used its fires to melt the web around to expand the opening. Spider was much larger than he was expecting, so the area he cleaned wouldnt be enough otherwise.
Luckily, the monster wasnt agile. With its bulky size, and mid-tier level, its speed was lower than Miless. He could dodge the attacks and kite the enemy as he liked. But he couldnt close in either. When he tried to approach, the monster was taking a big leap backwards. If Miles wasnt careful, the spider would hit tens of threads and alert other spiders in the holes.
The spider fired another stream of corrosive gas and liquid of fire. Miles dodged quickly lest he stuck, but the two streams mixed to create a fiber of white viscous binding. Unluckily, it stuck to the webs behind Miles and jerked them slightly.
Miles looked at the holes in terror, and noticed two more heads popping up.
I need you two in here. Miles said with a heavy breath. He passed the spray back at Zall, and kept the sword in his hand.Follow the latest novels at novelhall.com
It was too late for Miles to dodge the gases, with no other choice, he covered his face with his empty arm, and swung the sword as hard as he could.
The lightning swirl left the sword and hit one of the spiders head on. The destructive and sharp attack made a hole in the spider's exoskeleton. But Miles inhaled the gases while attacking. The corrosive liquid the first spider sprayed also melted his clothes and burned his skin.
From a bigger hole, a giant spider head popped out and surveyed the cave. Previously when Miles rocketed himself with the web, it summoned a spider. Miles thought he could kill two and it wouldnt be a problem even if another appeared, but he was wrong, dead wrong.
Miles landed on the now dead spider, and pierced the others head while he was still functioning. But he could feel the gases were doing their tasks. His vision was getting blurry, while poison and venom was seeping into his system. His sword barely opened a chunk on the exoskeleton. His power was leaving his body faster than he anticipated.
Bro Miles! Xavic cried in panic and ran towards Miles. Zall was about to hold him, but it was too late. With his speed bots, Xavic was in front of falling Miles in a second. Zall looked at the first spider charging his attack.
Xavic, fall back! Zall shouted but Xavic was holding injured Miles. With no other choice, he came before the duo and raised his shield. The sticky fiber stuck on the shield and with a tug, the spider pulled Zall and the shield together.
Spray the liquid, Zall Miles shouted with his wisp of consciousness, but Zall had a painful expression. He held the spray in his hand and looked at the spider flying towards him. He wanted to press the trigger and spray the deadly liquid on the arachnid's face.
My friends' lives are in danger! I hav I have to do it! Zalls hand, holding the glass spray, shivered. His finger on the trigger was shaking like mad. Spider was in front of his face, but in the end, he failed to press it.
SCREECH! At the time, a loud screech was heard, and all cave started to quake.
