'I guess I underestimated this bug.' Zeke thought.
The spider ran at Zeke, who was trying to catch his breath and figure a way to beat the spider.
Zeke lept up into the air, the aura surrounding his right sword turned bright blue with some electrical sparks.
[Blue Bird HAS BEEN ACTIVATED]
Zeke swung his sword at the spider. A majestic blue bird made from blue lightning flew from his sword and hit the abdomen of the spider. When it came in contact with the spider, it's whole body was electrocuted which restricted it's movement for a short period of time.
Still in the air, Zeke held both hand at his left hand side. Then he started descending down on the spider.
[Crescent Moon HAS BEEN ACTIVATED]
Just inches away from the spider, Zeke swung both swords at the back of the head of the spider, his blades went through the body with little resistance, creating a green create moon image.
Zeke landed on the ground, shortly after the head and body of the spider fell down dead on the ground.
"I hate spiders." Zeke said putting his swords back into the sheath while he deactivated the 'Sword Aura' skill.

It's turned out during Zeke's fight, the skeletons had already finished mining so they had to wait for him.
'This boy is definitely strong, it's a shame he's very close to Lloyd. What a waste.' Duke thought.
"I suggest we start moving, we don't know how deep this cave goes. I don't think anyone would like to spend the night in a cave." Duke said.
"Hold on a minute," Lloyd said.
He walked towards the dead spider and did what he usually does to corpes.
[Soul Extraction HAS BEEN ACTIVATED]
Reddish black shadows flower down from Lloyd's hand and engulfed the spider lifting up a few inches in the air. The body fell down and standing in front of Lloyd was a shadow version of the spider.
"No matter how many times I see that, I can never get used to it." Tessa said.
Lloyd simply smiled at her and they started leaving.
They decided to go towards the direction the spider came from because that was the only other way. The trail of those blue crystals continued, so there was no need for the hand held ones.
They were able to find more ores the deeper they went into the cave, fortunately they didn't encounter any more spiders or monsters.
They got to a point in the cave were they had to stop.
"This is definitely where that spider came from." Duke stated.
In front of them was a nest made from webs, there were also dried up bones lie here and there. The most noticeable things was the insane number of eggs waiting to hatch inside the nest.
"What do we about this eggs?" Lloyd asked.
"It's best we destroy them now, before they can become a treat later on." Duke said.
"No, we could let them hatch and use this place as a place for leveling up later." Zeke suggested.
"Looks the number of eggs here, hundred if not thousands. How do you expect to keep them all hear when they hatch." Duke argued
"You both make valid points, but Zeke there's no way we can keep them all here till they grow when they hatch. They'll eventually go out and cause more trouble so it's best to just annihilate them here and now." Tessa said.
Zeke didn't say anything else, he didn't really care what they did to the eggs. He was just giving a suggestion.
Tessa asked Lloyd to dispose of the eggs quickly by burning them.
Lloyd used 'Hellfire' on the eggs, unlike zombies the spider eggs took a little longer than expected.
After that was done, they journey to the end of the cave continued without any trouble.
What Lloyd didn't tell them was that when he burnt the spider's eggs, he got some experience points from them, over one thousand.
The whole expedition came to an end after several hours and what they got what quite interesting. They got fifty four raw platinum, ninty eight raw iron, twenty one diamonds, eleven obsidian and and four unidentified mineral known as Nanium. On their way out they also collect all the blue glowing crystals known as Moon Stones.
Everything was handed over to Tessa, for obvious reasons.
They were now on their way back to Star City, walking through the woods when all of a sudden two hooded figures emerged from one of the trees standing in front of them.
"Hello, young lads." One of them said.
"Who the hell are you guys," Zeke said.
Duke started walking towards the figures, "I told you before, enjoy your arrogance while it lasts," Duke said. He turned to them grinning ear to ear "Well, it all ends here."
Now Duke was standing besides the two people that just arrived, they took of their hoods they were wearing showing how they looked.
One of them had the building of a body builder on steroids, he wore only leader pants, was completely bald, had brown eyes and had some scars on some parts of his body, his name was Shark.
The other guy was the complete opposite, he was frail looking, had pale skin, bags under his black eyes and had pale black hair.
"Duke what is the meaning of this?" Tessa asked.
"This, this is where you all die. You see Tessa, someone as weak and kind as you don't deserve to rule over Star City," Duke said and then turned to Lloyd. "You are just and ungrateful arrogant bastard who doesn't deserve to live, and your friend he's just unfortunately to be loyal to someone like you"
"Let's get this over with, I need some sleep," The pale frail guy said nonchalantly.
He held out his hand and an amulet that looked like a skull appeared on his hand, then he crushed it and black dust flew into the air.
All of a sudden Lloyd received a notification from the system.
