Chapter 87 - Spiders

Boom boom boom! more explosions were seen and heard in the distance. "sounds like Javalin is giving them hell. I better do the same."

while thinking of this the spider had sensed Damon's slight movements but Damon knew where they were also as he stepped out into view.

"you must have realized you're in over your head kid. giving up is the better option but then again you got two solid hits on me. I can't take that sitting down. A huge vein was seen bulging in his forehead and then a big black eye formed.

"I'm going to assume his spider eyes can be formed anywhere on his body. I can't see it but he must have one on the top or the back of his head as well. that's probably how he was able to see my attack from above the second time."

"oh, it looks like you have more friends I see. his natural green eyes turned black while raising his palm which had a black eye on it as well. he turned it in a certain direction as a black gooey and stringy substance shot out to his left. a wave of purple energy crashed into it obliterating his webs on the spot which made him look suddenly.

emerging from a distance was vora moving at a fast speed. seeing her Damon knew she must have heard the explosions.

"two of them, this just turned troublesome very quickly. who is this bitch, she has this aura around her that seems unwavering. those two idiots with me are being held up by someone else as well. he thought as vora came to Damon's side.

"look, Javalin needs your help I can handle him alone. where is she. she's fighting two more people that I'm assuming is with him. their bandits, looking to take whatever they can from whoever they can.

"oh come on. I don't like the term bandits. I prefer a thief. the man said with a smile after hearing what was said.

an explosion occurred in the rainy sky as black fire balls rained down a distance away. Damon was able to sense that Javalin was having a tough time against four opponents and possibly more. he was actually glad vora showed up.

"that's one of her attacks. I need you to.... before he could finish vora was off running in the direction of the black raining flames.

"ha, are you serious right now kid. with two of you I can admit you might have had a chance. but you've just given up that opportunity like a fool. the man said while laughing. I'll kill you, and if your little girlfriend manages to get past my people she will die by my hands as well. that armour she had on looked like it could be sold for a pretty penny."

"I think we should let our skills do the talking. Damon responded while generating two electric whips. the smile on the man's face disappeared seeing the whips.

" this brats power is beyond crazy if I am to be honest with myself. I've never seen such an ability. controlling the fucking weather and generating electricity throughout his body. I must remain confident and uncaring my exoskeleton should be able to take on his power he thought to himself.

"one more question before we get back to business. what exactly is your ability, I mean this rain came out of nowhere, can you control the weather or something. my ability is kicking your ass Damon yelled snapping a whip towards him. the whip crackled surging ahead and with a twist of his wrist it changed direction wrapping around two of the spider legs.

He then yanked it back launching the beast against a tree and snapped his second whip at the thief who created a large black web net thinking he would block the attack but as soon as he created the webs they were soaked in seconds and once the whip hit against it the electric energy moved up with the water shocking him. he took the shock well but those few seconds it took for his body to adjust to the current was all Damon needed to get close.

His foot position changed as he got closer twisting his body and throwing a hard punch and kick to his face. the rain began to come down harder having the weight of small rocks as Damon prepared his punch.

purple electricity wrapped around one of his fist and leg as he released the whips and tore through the web shield hitting him right in the chest sending him back flying a few meters. the spider was back and had launched several web balls at Damon aiming for his limbs.

He was prepared for this as he released a web of demonic lightening at the incoming black webs. it melted them in seconds and hit the spider dead on. the beast saw the attack clear as day with it's many eyes but Damon's attack covered all sides which left the spider getting shocked and burned.

Taking out his dagger once more Damon threw it with demonic energy slicing off one the beast legs. the spider screeched in pain while its unbalanced body hit the ground skidding back.

the man stood up as his clothing and chest had been badly burned. "you brat, I'll kill you for sure now he yelled as multiple eyes appeared on his arms, neck, face and legs. he then waved his palm and in seconds he was covered in black and red armor with spaces throughout for the eyes on his body. a black and red light was seen after as another spider beast emerged.

Seeing this Damon knew he was in trouble. especially after using the inspect skill.

{Red huntsman spider Lvl. Highly matured.}

{Ability- All eyes. red cotton}

{the red huntsman spider is an aggressive spider with fast speed and reflexes. its eight eyes can move anywhere throughout its body. it has two types of webs which are dark mesh and red cotton. this spider has a unique exoskeleton which can protect it from many injuries and death as it's triple layer of bone is very tough}

the spider was twice as big as the black wolf spider and its legs were much longer. it was mostly red in color with black patterns throughout its body. its legs had thin but long hairs all over while its actual body looked to be naked and leather looking.

its deep black eyes flashed red as they saw Damon while its mouth moved creepily.

Damon realized his mistake. he thought the man was using the powers of the first spider seeing him use the black webs but the spider in front of him now also used the same dark mesh web along with a red one of some kind. what really made sense to him now was the eyes the man was using.

"I'll be honest kid, I took you lightly, this power of yours is really something special. so I'm curious about what soul beast you have to produce such a wide range ability." he said looking around in all the rain and the area it covered.

Damon remained as calm as he could. the wolf spider had disappeared from his vision. he knew he had hurt it but still knew it was a threat as well. his main focus was the man and the red huntsman spider.

"hmph, I still have many things I can do it's just I have to use them wisely. my ki pool will be drained fast if I don't use them when they will benefit me the most. he's tougher than he looks. I managed to hurt him with demonic energy but I couldn't tell how serious his injuries were before he cast his armor on.

Damon then sensed Javalin presence getting closer fast. "they must have defeated their opponents or either Javalin felt I need help." he thought. I'm a different person now. I'm not going to continue doing foolish things so I'll stall him from attacking at least until she's closer he quickly planned.

"my ability is not an ability. its actually a curse. Damon said lying while making small talk. my soul beast, well you'll find that out soon enough. he said answering the man's previous question.

"interesting, I don't believe in curses but ya know what kid, I respect you, and because of that I've decided to let you live. sadly I'm afraid I'll have to take one of your arms and one of your legs. you hurt my soul beast and even though they will grow back. the disrespect to my beasts is something I won't tolerate."

The huntsman spider eyes lit up once more as it twisted its backside releasing a ball of red webs around the size of a large watermelon. it wasn't a perfectly circle but was lumpy all around instead.

Damon jumped high in the air using static jump evading the red cotton like web. while In the air his eyes glowed sea blue as he stretched out his arms. the heavy rain began emitting a blue florescent light inside each drop. the long faced man and his spiders all shot balls of webs at Damon while he was in the air when they noticed the rain began changing.
