Chapter 85: Chapter 85 : The Rising Star

The arachne was not something Tom was expecting, The clearing conditions said to Kill the Black widow, so he expected it to be a giant spider. But what he encountered was this half woman half spider creature. It would be OK if the human part was pretty, but this one was too grotesque for his taste.

Tom was not afraid of its ugly face, six eyes nor its sharp teeth that protruded unnaturally from its gaping mouth. 

What annoyed him were the small spiders that kept descending from the ceiling and biting him as he fought it.

Fortunately, those guys were not poisonous, but that didn’t mean their bites were any less painful. He cursed silently as he scratched his arm. Another one bit him.

“Damn it.” He cursed loudly as his sword made contact with one of the arachne's legs. He quickly rolled to the back avoiding the web that it shot at him. Then he rose from his crouch and using his flaming sword, he struck its leg a second time before retreating and inspecting the results, to discover that It only left a shallow mark. This thing’s armor is too tough, and his attacks are getting weaker after four hours of continuous fighting. He was getting extremely tired. But thankfully, that thing was too, and the system had been supplementing him with healing pills repeatedly.

After the long fight and his repeated assaults on its legs, The arachne's movement was not as fast as it was when he first started the fight. Although this cave was very large, it didn’t lack obstacles. The huge stalactites that were covering the floor and the ceiling provided good grounds for maneuvers. So he has been using all those to his advantage. 

He felt that he should finish this quickly. The system has warned him that there were other players in here. But it was too whimsical to tell him their identity. He feared that the fat guy may have followed him here. For that reason, he hurried to the boss's room to clear the dungeon and get out as fast as possible. But this damn tenacious beast does not want to die.
