Chapter 31 - Spider war part 2

**********

After Aldin rose in the sky the spiders now had him in their sights thanks to their compound vision.

As Aldin was forming his ice sculptures, the spiders with the fire attribute came together and formed a giant fireball, they fired it up at Aldin, Aldin would have died in that explosion but he had one saving factor, his aura on the lances. The aura on the lances spread out after the ice was melted, the aura took over the flames turning them into frozen fire that chilled all that it came through while also ignoring Aldin.

The flames went up to the roof of the cavern and when they crushed there, the whole sealing froze.

Aldin and the spiders were dazed for a second but Aldin got his head back in the game, for the ground giant spikes rose, it did not kill any of them but, their feet were hit by the attack and slightly damaged.

'This tactic is not going to work, I need to use all I learnt from that time,' Aldin thought. What he meant by this was that he would go back to using the martial technique he had learned.

 After learning it, Aldin that it was not suitable for the usual battle he would take part in, this was because if he did use it, all his effort would be wasted when he could use brute strength to deal with it with less effort, but if he had to use it, he needed to use the right weapon, instantly, Aldin's two swords merged and they began to mix in together, at the end from them he formed a giant staff with the cores on the ends together with the arrays, they also had spearheads on both ends, then, a thought came to his mind.

'Where is my sceptre?' Aldin thought to himself, sadly he had no time to think about anything, attacks came at him.

Aldin flew down back to the ground but stopped a few inches from the ground.

With his staff in hand, Aldin swung it from under the spider, with fire attributed aura at the end, Aldin was able to split the spider in half, though he did not stop at that, he flew forward to the spider that was twelve o'clock from him and with a stabbing motion, pierced it with his staff and fire magic, made it blow up.

Thanks to his mana in the air, Aldin was able to sense all the attacks headed at him and dodged. The closest spider to him had a giant fireball aimed at Aldin, Aldin moved it with water magic he put out the flame and then proceeded to kill it with water spikes.

In a few seconds, Aldin had dealt with three spiders, but he had lots of them to deal with.

'I need to deal with this fast or else that giant beast might wake up before I am done with any of them,' Aldin thought.

Five balls of aura formed in front of him, Aldin shaped them to look like needles, he applied the light attribute on them and they were mini plasma, with precise control Aldin moved them through the field of spiders while also dodging their attacks, this was extremely tiresome, on top of all the energy he had used to deal with the tunnels, Aldin was doing his best.

Aldin dealt with the mental strain he was taking on.

He was able to deal with half of the beasts before the attacks wore out.

Alind could now be seen floating in the air exhausted, he still thought had to deal with the remaining spiders.

The spiders came at him, Aldin was exhausted but he could still fight, earth spikes rose striking those that came at him, one of the earth-attributed spiders made the ground mud like taking over Aldin's control over the earth, and webs were now shot at him by the spiders, with his great strength Aldin was able to get himself out of the traps, Aldin used water lord to ensure none of the spiders were able to disrupt his attacks, Aldin then formed giant poles around him and used radar to master the space around him. Initial ten spiders came at him while the others remained where they were, this was because they were large and knew if they all piled up against Aldin not all of them would have any use and they would be easy prey for Aldin, those that remained served to fire long-range attacks at Aldin in the hope of dealing with him.

The frontmost spider was earth-attributed and it formed spikes on its legs, when I got to Aldin it stood with its four hind legs with its fore legs it raised them up and began playing Bishop's knife with Aldin, another spider came from the side, this one was fire attributed and it burst our yellow flames from its mouth, Aldin did not bother taking on the flame head on, instead he could the other part of his armour to balance out the heat and cover himself from the attacks, while in the flame Aldin prepared to deal with the metal one that was in front of him, while in the flame Aldin concentrated fire in his palms making a tiny blue star, from inside the flame I fired it at the spider and it went through its head killing it in an instant, it fell to the ground dead, Aldin tossed the flame star back to the other one that had been spitting fire at him, he moved it to the one closest to him but at that very moment Aldin ran out of mana, he could not squeeze any bit out, before he could even begin accumulating the spider that had been saved by Aldin's lack of mana, it jumped forward to Aldin it had it's feet ready with ice, it raised it's feet aiming to stad Aldin, Aldin paried the attacks and pushed it's feet away, it dropped with it's pincers ready to bite Aldin but Aldin moved back fast,he jumped landing on its back but before he could stab it an ice rock crashed into him, he was uninjured but he was pushed far away, another spider came down at Aldin but he smacked it's head with his staff and its jaw was twisted in an unsightly mana.

Before Aldin could end it he was attached by spikes from the ground, Aldin flew up in the sky, and there and then Aldin realised that he did not need mana to fly. Aldin flew above it and from behind it he grabbed its head, a giant lance was headed at him, Aldin manoeuvred with the head he was holding placing it in the path of the lance headed at him and the spider was killed like that.

The other two were now rushing over to Aldin before they could even get to him, attacks rained on Aldin, and he had to move quickly to dodge them, Aldin was building up momentum as he dodged the attacks and moved the beast furthest from him at full speed, even after he got close to it, he did not stop nor slow down and even accelerated, he passed with its head and made a sharp turn headed to the other one he killed it in the same manner before he could even get close to the other, the smallest of the giant spiders that had been injured in the battle started firing attack at him, Aldin had to dodge them or he would fall, he rushed over to the other remaining ones ignoring the injured pests, as he approached them they reduced the attacks to not kill each other, Aldin used this opportunity to move even faster and went through their heads killing them, he had dealt with three and now he was in the middle of them with forty-two giant spiders wanting to kill him.

Several legs stumped down where Aldin was trying to stomp him, Aldin moved the best he could but he eventually got stepped on by one and the rest just kept on coming, Aldin got up and flew under them, they had really long legs and large torsos, it was easy to move around them, Aldin stabbed them in their torsos but that was not enough for him to kill any of the, they would move back after he stabbed trying to get a hold of him but Aldin was fast and in that time, he stabbed it in its head killing it.

This went on but Aldin began experiencing fatigue, in between the times he would kill them Aldin took short breaks to be able to move.

Aldin went on killing them, in the end, he remained with five giant beasts and the other less giant spiders.

'How long will it be till it gets here,' Aldin thought to himself, he was tired and trapped and the trump card he was waiting on had yet to arrive.

The beast attacked Aldin who was struggling to move and think of a way to get out of his situation.

Aldin did his best to dodge but an earth pillar from the ground rose and he was webbed to it before he realised it.
