Since the giant spider beast was releasing sticky webs through its mouth, Zach had forgotten that the original body part that could produce and release silk threads was on the tip of its abdomen where its spinnerets glands were located.
These spinnerets were the silk-spinning organs that allowed the spider to decide what thread it was going to use and release.
Zach became careless and the spider caught him off guard when it released its spider silk thread at the tip of its abdomen, thus catching him on the spot.
The spider silk thread stuck in his body. Zach tried to cut the silk thread using his dagger when suddenly he got pulled by the spider, causing him to fall to the ground.
The spider dragged him until it turned around, throwing Zach on the spider web created by the beast that was enclosing the area.
His back got stuck on the spider web and the spider continued releasing silk thread aiming at his body. It piled up, leaving him immobile.
Zach looked like a mummy as his full body was now covered with spider silk, except his head. He could no longer move, looking so helpless before the demon beast.
"F*ck! I'm doomed!"
Ryuko tried to save his master. He flew towards him. Using his dull skeleton claws, Ryuki tried to cut those threads which were sticking around Zach's body.
But Ryuki's action of saving his master just ended up as a futile effort. Nothing happened! He needed to level up first to have sharp claws that could slash anything like the durable silk threads of a spider beast.
"Master! I'm sorry! I can't cut nor remove these threads fast. It will take lots of time to do that. We might be dead by that time, being devoured by this spider beast even before we can cut these durable silk threads!" Ryuki said to Zach anxiously.
"Damn! Ryuki, forget it! Just buy me more time. Go and distract the giant spider beast. It can't catch you easily because you are small and you can fly," Zach commanded him. He just resorted to a diversion technique. He just hoped that he could find a solution to solve his problem.
"Go, lure him away from me. I need time to figure out how I can escape from this!"
Ryuki followed Zach's order. He would try his best to buy more time for his master. This was the only way he could help him.
Ryuki flew towards the giant spider beast, attacking him with his claws. He was provoking it as he acted as a decoy. Though his attack was ineffective and couldn't even leave a scratch on the spider's strong hard shell, Ryuki was able to annoy the giant spider beast.
As a result, he succeeded in diverting the attention of the spider beast away from his master.
"Yes! That's it! Good job, Ryuki!" Zach was praising his demon pet. This only encouraged Ryuki more to do his best to save both their asses from that giant spider beast!
Now that the spider beast was busy chasing after Ryuki, Zach started to think and figure out how he would be able to escape.
He tried to use his daggers again but his arms were completely immobilized. He couldn't move them. The more he struggled the more the silky threads were sticking to his body.
"Shit! Zach! Use your mind! Find another way to escape."
He was scolding and at the same time encouraging himself to think wisely. After a few moments of racking his brain, only one thing came into his mind– Angelique, his system!
He had no choice but to call his Angelic System for help.
"Angelique! Are you there? I need your help!"
As soon as he mentioned Angelique's name, the transparent screen appeared before his eyes. Angelique's avatar was in the center of the screen.
"You summoned me."
"Yes, I did! You said you were my protector! Now I am in great danger! You have to help and save me!"
"I understand. Give me a few minutes," Angelique responded.
"Make it quick! Or else, I will get eaten by the spider beast!" The urgency could be heard in his voice.
The interface changed and now Zach could see that Angelique was running some commands.

< Please wait…>
< Skill 1 Modification On-Going... >
[ Loading… 5%... 10%... 25%... 35%... 65%...]
Zach got more anxious and tense as he watched those numbers. He was silently wishing that time would fly faster to see 100%.
He could see that Ryuki couldn't hold the spider beast longer. He was almost reaching his limits. He was afraid that Ryuki would be in danger as well.
"Damn! Faster! Load Faster!"

Previous Skill 1: Demon Whisper
Modified Skill 1: Angel's Lullaby
Info: Angel's Lullaby will bless the host with an angelic voice that he can use to make someone fall asleep once he or she listens to the angelic voice. The host should sing a song to utilize and use the skill.
If it is used against demons and evil creatures, the effect of the skill will be strong and effective. The Angel's Lullaby is more harmful against evil creatures.
If it is used on humans, it can give serene and positive emotions that can touch the listener's heart.
===========
Zach: 0_0
Zach couldn't believe that he got this kind of skill. He wondered if this modified skill could help him survive this battle.
"Ryuki! Lure the spider beast here. I'm going to test something! Oh, don't forget to cover your ears!!!!" Zach informed Ryuki.
"Got it, Master! I'm coming!"
When Ryuki and the spider beast were already approaching him, Zach got ready to use his modified skill.
'Damn! What song? Come on Zach! Think?!'
"Angel's Lullaby!" Zach said, activating his modified skill.
After activating his new skill, Zach started singing a song that he could remember. Damn! He couldn't believe it. His voice was so soft and very pleasant to the ears.
His angelic voice echoed in the dark forest. It did not take long when the Spider Beast who was chasing Ryuki suddenly slowed down. A few seconds had passed and the giant spider beast collapsed in front of Zach!
'Damn! It really works!!!!'
Ryuki: "..."
'What has just happened here?'
