Feeling the being with the ominous aura approaching him, Eric braced himself for the worst. He could hear whatever was attacking him leap in the air to attack, however just at that moment Dante had arrived, coming in between what had pounced in the air and Eric. He dragged his hand backwards before punching with the Density gauntlet as hard as he possibly could.
To his greatest surprise the being in front of him was not hurt by this in anyway. At this point, Dante could see all of the features of this creature clearly. It looked like a massive pile of black webs coming together to form a creature of utmost darkness. The darkness from this creature was so much that it seemed to drag him in. This creature was giving off a serious aura of bloodlust and Dante could feel it in the form of an ominous feeling.
The creature held unto Dante's gauntlet quickly before stretching out tentacle after tentacle to stab his face. Because of his Quick ring, he managed to barely dodge this fast moving tentacles before taking off the Density gauntlet, throwing it away and jumping backwards.
'What!? The Density gauntlet doesn't work on it. That means it's defense is terrible', Dante thought to himself.
Looking around the place, Dante realized that there were some leaves burning on the floor. He believed this must have been as a result of Eric changing the temperature of the air around him. Dante could easily tell by the pattern of burning leaves on the ground.
'Does this mean that this was the burning sounds i heard. That would mean I have super hearing', Dante thought to himself. He didn't take this too serious as he had work to do.
Looking back at the dark creature in front of him, Dante realized that some parts of it was burnt. He also noticed that it was healing at the moment because of some slimy black goo that was flowing into it's body. This goo was also as dark as the creature that it flowed into. Flowing the trail of the black goo with his eyes, Dante's came to discover that a lady was hidden in the trees. He noticed that her eyes and mouth were covered with some bandages. Dante also noted that the black goo was coming from her unnatural black hair.
"Who the hell are you!?", Dante looked at her with an expression of annoyance.
Nightmare however didn't bother answering this question and proceeded to throw three blades at Dante only for them to be caught rather easily.
"I will ask you again, who the hell are you", Dante asked once more.
Once again he received no response from her but only an attack from the dark creature. It attacked shiftly with it's tentacles, however he dodged each of them skillfully. Deep in Dante's mind though he was aware he was only able to do this because of the combat crown which he was currently wearing.
Dante also swung his hands at it in an attempt dismantle it, however it dodged them as if it was aware of his abilities. Seeing that it was a stalemate, Dante jumped far away from the creature. Though he would soon realize this was a mistake as it would then turn it's attention to Eric who was no longer able to move. The creature slid on the ground like a snake rushing to end it's prey only to be interrupted by a massive wall of flames getting in it's way. It quickly realized that Dante was responsible as he had given it a cocky smirk. This was unexpected for the web like monster so it was unable to escape without burns.
As the dark creature backed away, Dante rushed to check up on Eric who was lying on the floor.
"Are you okay?", Dante asked only to get no response.
At that moment Dante realized that he had passed out due to lossing too much blood. When he tried to heal him, Dante felt two sharp blades piercing his back. At that moment he created a massive wall which was large enough to contain about five people, in order to protect himself and Eric from harm.
Quickly Dante touched himself activating his skill 'First aid' which healed him in an instant. Next he proceeded to touch Eric and heal him as well. After fully healing him, he shook him violently.
"Eric wake up! We don't have much time!", Dante shouted in an attempt to wake him up.
Having no success with this, Dante decided to slap him in order to wake him up. After feeling a sharp painful sensation of his face, Eric woke up from his sleep wondering what was going on. He was quickly remained however, the moment he heard a kind of scratching sound coming from the outside of Dante's massive wall.
"Dante be careful, that thing can make people blind", Eric spoke out of nowhere.
"What!? Can you see right now?", Dante asked Eric with a questioning look.
"Sadly, no."
This caused Dante to widen his eyes in surprise. Right now he was confused about two things. The first was how this person was able to sneak into their territory without been attacked by the carnivorous plants which surrounded it. Was it because this person emitted Nano Lites from her body as well?
The second was a quite obvious question, Dante's ability healing touch had not returned Eric's sight. This meant that he would be unable to get his sight back if he ever got blind. Now the question was how long would it take before one would get their sight back?
Just as Dante was pondering these things, he was interrupted by a strange drilling sound. When his eyes moved to the direction it was coming from, he saw the dark webbed creature quickly enter the rock dome. Without wasting any time, the creature proceeded to attack Dante with it's elongating tentacles. He successfully dodged the attacks, however the problem came when he realized that there was not enough space to move in this rock dome.
Dante quickly ran out of space so he decided to dismantle the dome itself, though as he touched the wall to do this, he left himself vulnerable. The problem here was that the creature's attack this time was quicker than the rest so he dodged so far hence he did not expect it. The dark creature shot out something at high speed, something that looked like black sand. The moment this sand like substance touched him, Dante began to slowly lose his sights. Once he had lost his sight completely, the creature ran across the ground at high speed to finish the job.
