Chapter 12 - Chapter 12: Fighting a Monster Made of Fire

Looking down at the hole with weariness she resultantly jumped inside the pitch-black hole, once she was inside her eyes quickly adjusted to the darkness letting her see the steep tunnel down below. She smelled the air again to double-check that this was the spider's home.

The burning smell was quite stronger in here and hope it wasn't some other fiery beast, she could hear light crunching sounds as she made her way closer to the center of the den, she didn't worry about it having other 'friends' since these beasts can't have little ones until they reached C-rank grade and this being a D-rank beast she had almost no worries.

She knows that she is basically immune to anything really but the part that sucks is that she had one weakness which was sliver just like a werewolf, anything that is sliver will be able to kill her. So long as she was not impaled by a sliver blade of any sort she should be fine.

When she made her way inside the main nest she saw a giant spider that was made out of flames, a transparent orb was by its rear end which made some sense since that where spider's heart are if she remembers correctly. Looking at the firey beast then back at her clothing she thought it would be a better idea to not get them to burn to a crisp or she might actually start crying her eyes out.

So she took off her clothes and was left in her undergarments even her cloak went into her inventory to prevent it from being burn as well as the mask. Stretching a bit before she engages into battle will be a very painful experience but will increase her endurance to such things.

Letting out a shaky breath she wore her Gauntlets and prepare a battle stance as the giant spider continued eating away at its prey. She charges straight at it with a steady breath aiming at the core only to miss it by a mile second. She cursed light in her head as the spider's beady gaze landed on her, it shrieked in horror upon sensing the being that attacked it was nothing more than a rotting corpse leaving it confused.

It shrieks once more before trying to strike Dyllis with one of its long firey legs as all eight of its eyes watched Dyllis closely. Dyllis moved backwards out of the blazing heat of the spider leg making her feel slight terror.

'Maybe I have a bit more off then I can chew?' she thought as she tried to keep up with the spider's attacks, avoiding them at all cost, she tried to get closer so she could get her hands on the core but ended up in failure many times. She ended up pretty burnt by each hit that landed on her causing a burning sensation to go through that part of the body.

She groans in pain but keeps on attacking the spider, again and again, every time she missed the core by a mare inch making the ghoul frustrated as the fight continued on.

This went on a few hours tiring the spider out making it a bit more sloppy with it movements, Dyllis didn't give up since she had a lot of stamina to keep on using but she was getting worn out by the attacks of the spider. The spider leg this time impaled her through the stomach causing her to shriek out in pain as the firey leg burned her insides.

The pain was almost unbearable as she struggled to get the leg off even though it was made of fire it was quite solid. 'What is the logic behind this thing?' she shouted in her mind, The Spider brought her closer to it chelicerae as firey drool escape from it mouth. She launch a kick to it face causing it to stumbled back and to take it leg back to help steady itself.

Coughing up some black blood as she holds her gaping open wound she beathes heavily as she thinks. 'It face was solid enough for me to kick? every where else I tried I just end up burning myself. So it other weak spot is it face'

The wound slowly began healing as blood stopped pouring out, you can see the flesh stitching itself right back together at a very slow paste causing her to grunt a bit as she pulled her self off the ground.

The spider regain it balance and looked at Dyllis angerly as if saying 'How dare you kick me in the face!' A ghoulish laughter rung out of Dyllis throat looking at the angry spider fumes with rage as the fire on it body blazed angerly.

Dyllis looked a bit sick in the face cause off blood lost but she was still mange to get up despite the gaping wound that slowly react it self from the inside forming a small wall. Learning from this experience, she learned bigger wounds take longer to heal specially if you haven't aten a body more recently.

Snaping out of her thoughts since she remember she is in a fight she payed her enemy more attention only to notice under the flames on the head of the spider was orange skin. It looked like she made a decent mark on it forehead as a singaler stab like wound was there.

At first glance you wouldn't notice the skin there but now she is actually focus on it head she could see it as clear as day. She quickly glance back at her wound as more layers of tissues have stuck together even her instines have been regenarted already.

She shakly got off the cave wall and stood tall and round as she ran straight towards the spider as she ran towards it core again only to dodge the leg of the spider and aim at it face once again causing it to give out a blood curlding sherik as a huge dent was more evented on the side of it head. Dyllis jumped back to dodge two more fiery legs.

She stumbled slightly but manage to stay standing up even though her stomach still feel like it on fire. she kept one hand on the gaping hole to make sure her insides don't fall out while fighting, She kept up with her tactic aiming at the head when ever she gained the optunity this cause the spider to lose a few eyes in the progress as it head became mangled and hideous.

Orange like blood flow out of it eyes not getting burned by the fire at all. It was enrage that a walking corspe has weaken it that much and that it lost a few of it pressoius eyes. It walked around a bit shakely as it strangled to stay standing on all 8 legs, having been kicked in the head numerous times it got some brain danamge for sure.

Thinking that one more kick would knock it out she charge towards it again and raised her left leg only to switch in midair to her right hand with her long and inhuman nailed the dug out the rest of the spider eyes also striking the brain causing it to slump over and becoming an orange spider without any flames.

The orange skin was pretty transluatent at the rest of the body causing one to think there's nothing their only be fooled. Breathing heavily she dug inside the spider back end, she first dug out it core before searching for it glands. she store them both in her inventory as she walked away from the corspe and collapse on the other side of the cave floor.

Breathing deepily she laid still and let her regeneration do all the work.
