Chapter 24 Defeating The Pseudo Intermediate Tier Night Spider



The mutated night spider was a pseudo intermediate tier beast that had great agility coupled with the ability to cast illusions to some extent. The illusions it could cast would most of the time affect the senses of its opponents while people with weaker wills and minds would be affected greatly by its illusions. Moreover, the night spider was a natural predator of bug-type beasts. These beasts would live in forests and would be lured into the webs of silk made by the mutated night spider. Its web could also be used as a defensive measure in slowing down the enemy while being extremely hard to cut down through.

Therefore, Ray had specifically told everyone to keep their distance from the spider to avoid the web being shot at them. Moreover, these spiders had sharp 4 pairs of legs that had several blades protruding out of them that could tear through even the strongest in intermediate-tier armors.

Hence, everyone circled the night spider and probed it for some time before engaging in a battle against it. Ray had made several contingency plans against the night spider to defeat it quickly and efficiently. Therefore, he had Tim attract the attention of the beast while he would search for a moment to attack it with his spell, [LIGHTNING BOLT]. The spell would not be able to severely injure the night spider but it would leave it stunned for a few moments while the paralysis attribute of his spell would take effect.

Just as Ray and his team had imagined, the night spider was struck by Ray's spell and left stunned for a few moments and it was at the exact moment that Sirius slashed both of his claws at the night spider while they were covered in a strange reddish hue. As Ray looked at Sirius's attack, he understood that he had a lot to know about his teammates but he didn't have any resentment toward Sirius for not telling him of such skill that he had as everyone had secrets that they did not wish to share.

As Sirius slashed down his claws at the spider, due to it being stunned for a few moments, the spider was only able to block one claw while the other left a shallow gash just above one of its long legs. The wound did not cause much harm to a pseudo-intermediate-tier beast such as the night spider.

Therefore, Elina and Noah started to pincer it with their attacks as Elina wrote a few curses in the air and directed them towards the spider while Noah used his needles to attack the spider at different juncture points.

The curses that Elina had sent towards the spider had various effects but the greatest one was to use one's ability against themselves, causing the spider to have its senses weakened while its agility also dropped a bit more. Other than that, Noah had stricken the spider at various important juncture points within the spider's body by using his needles. The juncture points were naturally the joints and some channeling meridians within the spider's body. Therefore, its body movements became stiff due to the attack on its joints while Elina's curses slowed it down further coupled with the still-lasting paralysis effect from Ray's attack. Such attacks caused the spider to lose a great deal of its mobility and its attack power weakened more.

After dealing with the initial attacks, Tim received a signal from Ray and immediately rushed to slam the spider so that he could make the spider lose its balance. However, at the end of the day, the spider was a pseudo-intermediate-tier beast after all. It dodged Tim's attack just before it connected with its body and slashed down one of its legs at Tim, while the spider slashed at Tim, Tim perceived the attack as well and he shifted his momentum, causing his body to bend at a strange angle causing the attack to miss any vital part of Tim's body while a long gash appeared from his shoulder to his elbow. However, blood did not gush as one would expect as the muscles around Tim's arm and elbow contracted to their extreme while the metallic sheen over his body glowed and spread to his injury, causing the muscles to turn metallic while a satisfied expression came upon Tim's face as his defensive abilities were really on par with those of a top intermediate tier beast.

Moreover, seeing that a teammate was injured, Aliya raised her staff and muttered something under her breath. As she raised her staff, the crystalline gem embedded upon the staff glowed while a golden ball of light shot out of the staff and made its way to Tim's injury. Immediately after it landed on Tim's injury, the gash on his shoulder closed while Tim nodded to Aliya as he started to go another round against the night spider. This time, Tim used his shield to block the spider's attack while dodging some.

Eventually, Tim kited the spider where Ray wanted the spider to be. After kiting the spider to the end of the wall, Ray, Elina, and Noah used their long ranged skills. Ray used his spell, [Fire Ball], while Elina used a special curse against the spider and made it go through an illusion of being frozen. Causing the spider to panic and lose its target.

Furthermore, Noah stabbed some more needles into its body but still failed to cause substantial damage to it. Just then, Sirius joined the frenzy and clawed deep into the spider's body causing the spider to shriek from immense pain. However, due to the immense pain, it broke off Elina's curse and the night spider finally returned to its senses. Upon seeing a pesky wolf clinging to its body, the spider sent Sirius flying by flinging out one of its legs.

Sirius slammed heavily into Noah, causing them to crash into the nearest wall. After Noah was sent flying along with Sirius, a gap opened as only two people blocked the spider instead of three. Therefore, the spider escaped to the middle of the battlefield the training hall had become of.

Upon seeing the spider escape from their blockade, Ray signaled Aliya and she immediately used her full power as a great amount of mana churned from her body and converted into a divine glow that flew towards Sirius and Noah, healing them almost instantly.

However, Aliya's face became a little pale as she had used a large amount of mana in one go. Yet she didn't seem to be fazed by it and persisted while she stood ready to heal anyone. Upon seeing her stance, Ray applauded her inwardly while he signaled everyone to go all out to take down the spider. This meant that this time everyone would use their strongest attack and take down the spider in one go. Hence, everyone returned to their position and went all out.

The shield within Tim's hand started spinning while he used the skill of his and charged over to slam into the spider. At the same time, Elina activated a weakening curse that immediately lowered the defense and strength of the spider by 10 percent while Noah used his needles to release all the energy stored within them, and with the needles being inside the spider's body, the strange energy released by them rampaged the spider's body from inside causing it to lose a great deal of control within its body.

Moreover, Sirius's eyes turned bloodshot while reddish energy coated his originally brown fur causing the werewolf to berserk and repeatedly attack the spider's body. Lastly, Ray raised his intermediate tier beast soul sword and fused it with his fire elemental mana causing it to become scorching hot. He jumped into the air and furiously slashed at the neck of a spider that was immobilized by constant attacks. The attack was fast and fierce while a fiery sword light released from the sword and struck the spider's neck along with the sword and then with a thud,

"Plop",

The head of the spider rolled on the ground in front of Aliya who furiously crushed the head with a powerful stomp while all of the team fell to the ground and heaved for breath after using their strongest attacks. However, there was a thought running down their minds, "they defeated the seemingly impossible to defeat intermediate tier beast".

And all the gratitude and reverence they felt went to their leader Ray, who at this moment was dazedly looking at his system interface as some very important messages have revealed themselves.
