Junon tapped on his shoulder to tell him to turn around, and when he did, he saw two gigantic black widows blocking the way they came from.
One of the spiders was approaching the severely injured man in white. He got that way because of Samuel.
"Get back... Get back!"
The man tried his best to escape the spider coming closer, but unfortunately, he was unlucky. The black widow went closer, and then it bites on his shoulder. From its teeth, venom was going into the man's body, and he couldn't do anything besides scream!
"No, no, no!" The spider removed its teeth from the man's shoulder, turning his body into a skeleton. Then, both spiders slowly started moving closer to their enemies.
James saw this and said, "Everyone watch out; don't let them get close to and bite you!"
"I understand, James," Junon replied.
Tim and Samuel fought one of the black widows, and Junon and James fought the second one. One of the spiders shot webs from its butt at its enemy.
"Tim dodge!"
Samuel warned Tim after seeing Web coming toward his boss. Tim turned his back and faced the other spider, but he did not know that until he heard Samuel.
Skyfather ducked at the exact moment it was about to hit. The spiderweb went over Tim's head and hit the ground, melting the floor.
"Junon and James. Don't let the one you're fighting shoot its projectile at us!" Tim said.
Ross didn't hear what his former boss said when he shot lava and other projectiles at the spider. Junon blocked the attacks whenever the spider with long legs tried to crash them.
Some of the projectiles Ross was firing were missing; the ones impacting the spider were not working. If he keeps doing this, his Flow will decrease to zero, and then he can't use any of his model XI0 powers until his Flow recharges.
"James, do something different if the same attacks are not working," Acadia said.
Ross knew what she was saying, but besides firing projectiles of many diverse types and turning his skin and limbs into armor to protect himself from harm and attack his enemies. He had nothing else in the arsenal of his Model XI0 powers.
"I can try my revolver."
He removed the gun from his pocket and fried all six bullets at the spider's legs. It didn't harm the spider. The black widow's skin was very hard, so anything that was not powerful enough couldn't damage it.
The spider fired its venomous spider web, and Junon blocked it with her giant lollipop, but it melted into pieces from venom and was about to drop on Acadia's face if she didn't bite on a lollipop to stop the time.
"I would have been a goner if I hadn't used that just there.
"I think I can't use my time stop for today. How much Flow did it waste?" When she finished talking to herself, the time resumed.
'Shit, I don't have time to check now!'
Junon unwrapped another lollipop while running toward the spider and said, "Hey, James. I want you to throw me."
James nodded without saying a word and started running toward Junon. The other spider blocked him before reaching it, but that didn't take long. Tim smashed into its body, throwing it far from Ross.
"Thank you!"
"You're welcome!" Tim replied to Ross while flying at high speeds.
The spider, Ross, and Acadia were fighting and running toward Ross to stop him from reaching Junon. But Samuel blocked its way.
"Nah, buddy, you have to fight me now!"
The spider tries to stab Cliffhanger with its eight limbs. One by one, it moves its limbs down toward Samuel. Its efforts could have been more useful. Not a single one of its limbs hit Samuel.
Cliffhanger was dogging, and the bug was trying to stab him like they were playing the whack-a-mole. The black widow was tired of doing the same thing, so it turned around, showing its ass, and fired the venom's spiderweb.
After the projectile is fired, Samuel ducks and says, "You almost got me, oh..." Then he sees the web is going much farther than usual and is approaching James, so he warns him, "Be careful, James. The spiderweb is approaching you f-!!"
***
Suddenly, the spider slashed Samuel's right arm because he didn't notice it. Surprisingly, he didn't scream in pain; even the spider was confused.
"What, you want me to cry or scream? No, that's not happening.
because—
A shadowy mist was forming where his right limb used to be. That smoke made his arm grow back, and when it came back, the haze went away. Nobody besides the spider saw Samuel's arm grow back.
—Because it can grow back!"
Junon stepped on James's hand while running and flung herself into the air, and she sucked on a lollipop to make her soar in the air longer and not hit the ground too early before she landed on the spider's back.
"Yoho!"
She got another wrapped candy, making it bigger by pressing a red button. The lollipop needs to be covered with plastic wrap to make it giant while pressing the button on its side. Without the wrapping, it will not work.
Now she had a giant lollipop that could help her to defeat the huge black widow, and when she landed on its back, she unwrapped the wrapping from the lollipop and stabbed it where the red hourglass mark was, killing it!
Acadia found the weak point of the insect, and it was the mark. She figured out that when Ross fired the revolver and other projectiles from model XI0, it didn't work.
"Hey, Samuel, watch out, falling giant bug!"
She warned Cliffhanger to leave the spot where the dead spider was about to hit. She jumped off the spider after it landed on the ground.
"Tim, do you need help?" She said that, but Tim couldn't hear her when he focused on dodging the spider's attacks.
Skyfather couldn't use his powers when his flow energy was zero percent, so he could only dodge spiders' attacks and wait for his flow to increase to a perfect percentage to use his bouncy abilities. However, that will take a long time to reach because his power uses 50% of his Flow to activate his ability to make his skin bouncy, smooth, and soft.
'Why do I have less Flow than normal? It could take forever to increase to the perfect percentage of using it. I wish my Flow would grow like some people's Flow when they eat or drink something to raise it without waiting.'
He is thinking and avoiding the black widow's attacks, but Cliffhanger distracts him by saying, "Tim, why are you not making the floor bouncy? If making your skin like a trampoline wastes lots of Flow, do it on the ground."
Skyfather got bitten by a small spider from getting distracted by Samuel, but its venom wasn't as strong as its mother's, which could turn people into skeletons in a few seconds!
The small black widow's venom makes people ill for a day or two, but his sickness would be worse if he gets bitten or scratched by them again! So, he needs to be careful not to get hit next time.
"Are you all right? Do you need to go to the hospital, Tim?" Samuel asked, looking concerned.
"No need. I got running noise from it!" They talked while killing the small ones and dodging big black widow attacks.
"Samuel, get ready to jump," Tim said while looking at the spider's front limbs going up.
"I know what will happen, but thank you for reminding me about this attack again, Tim." Samuel looked at the limbs, waiting for them to smash into the ground.
The spider smashed its two front limbs into the ground, creating a massive shock wave, killing the baby spiders. Samuel and Tim jumped right after the ripple came close to them.
The move tired the giant black widow, and they took the opportunity to fight it. Samuel finally fired an explosion at the beast, which was severely damaged.
This spider was less durable than the one Ross and Acadia fought.
Tim put his hand on the ground and said, "In the name of holy Creation, God give me strength to make this hard land soft and bouncy!" When finished, the floor underneath him turned bouncy like a trampoline.
Tim can turn solid objects into bouncy things, but unlike his body, it doesn't decrease flow energy. However, he always needs to say the sentence above to transform the thing he touched into a bouncy, smooth, soft object.
"I need to say that sentence to transform solid objects into soft and bouncy. But away, Samuel, here I made it as you said, so what are you planning?"
Cliffhanger didn't answer Skyfather, so he ran toward the spider and jumped on top of the transformedade, bouncing high. Then, ground, which he pointed his finger at the weak point of the black widow, the red hourglass.
Before firing the finger gun, he yelled, "Night Demon Bomb Shot!"
A big glowing red bullet approached the spider from Samuel's finger. When the enemy was moving and attacking Tim, the shot followed it.
Samuel landed on the transformed ground and smoothly dragged Tim out of the fight without him noticing. After they were far away, the bullet exploded inside the black widow's weak spot, killing it!
