The arachnid slowly got up, still affected by all the damage that Lucius had dealt to it.
~I need to finish this now,~ Lucius thought to himself as he tried to move. However, he found that he had absolutely no control of his limbs. And at the same time, his flesh felt as if it were being petrified, its weight becoming like stone, threatening to tear off at any moment.

~IIs it blind?~ he wondered as the arachnid approached him. Once it got closer, it locked on to him, its stinger tail thrusting towards him.
