The giant doors seemed endless…
Sukiro took a deep breath putting a stop to his thoughts his eyes reflected focus and determination yet his heart hammered against his ribs refusing to look into the darkness beyond that door
"I didn't come this far to lose now" he said to himself even as fear consumed his body
The doors creaked open slowly, an eerie feeling washed over him
"Webs?" he stared in confusion, brushing them away he had noticed them were warm then came a sound WHIRPPP!!!!
The room flooded with mana at such a ridiculous scale that it felt like drowning in pure power
"What on earth is this??" sukiro stood still paralysed his body screaming at him to run and hide
Drip….. Drip…. Drip….
A fluid fell on his shoulder from above
He looked up slowly, his head twitched and his eyes widened
six eyes stared back at him, they were ruthless it was as if their only intent was to kill him
It was as big as a small guild hall at least a storey tall
Eight legs, six eyes, four fangs, a pure killing machine
He drew his blades out frantically, The spider jumped straight down from the ceiling
"What level even is this thing?!" he thought staring at the huge beast
The spider charges at him, its huge legs aiming to crush his skull!!
Sukiro swept underneath him just in time, leaping on its belly his fingers barely managing to hold on its shell"
"AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" his scream pierced through the air like an arrow!
The spider is unable to reach beneath himself but it comes with a monstrous solution
It leaped up, spreading its legs wide' planning to crush sukiro into the stone like an insect
Its plan crush sukiro into a flat pancake
His eyes widened, "a monster this smart?"
The party watches in confusion unsure of what's happening
Sukiro slips barely in time to avoid getting crushed..
"What the hell is this thing!!!"
The spider looks down at him it's eyes focused at him
It's legs were it's blades, sharp as steel
it starts to plunge its legs like daggers at him
Sukiro battles them with his dual daggers but it is of no use, he is being pushed back while the spider takes no damage
Sparks fly high the sound of metal clashing echos throughout the dungeon
Sukiro grunts his teeth that's when he sees it
A glimpse of hope, the open space between the knees, the joints of the spider..
A grin spreads across his face..
He slips below the spider, the spider rushes his leg towards him
But that is what he wanted
He dodges the kick and jumps right near his joint
SLASH!!!
"GREEEEEGREEE!!" the scream of the spider shakes the very pillars of the temple
Half of his leg was cut down
The spider backs away in pain
The floor glows with it's green blood
Sukiro smirks "let's see how he will move with seven legs! Technically seven and half"
The spider's eyes start to glare bright red…
The air thickens, the mana becomes heavier, the spider starts to unleash it's fangs, it's webshooter starts to appear
Meanwhile outside the dungeon
Sapphire mutters "Something's off, that spider.. It seems"
"Off place, like it doesn't belong there" Sebastian replied
With no words exchanged Elijah starts to inspect the strength of the spider unsure if it really is a C rank boss
Sukiro's grip around the daggers tighten, it seems as if even the air is trying to choke him
The spider stops moving…
Its eyes lock on one thing and one thing only
Sukiro…
"That spider is a B rank…" Elijah mumbled nearly choking upon his words
The entire party looked at elijah in silence their eyes sharper than any weapon
Everyone knew battling a B rank boss alone is a death sentence for sukiro
Klaus took into the dungeon instantly no orders were needed
The spider started to jump from wall to wall connecting its webs, it seemed as if it was trying to make the entire thing a trap
It covered the room so fast that within thirty seconds everything visible was tuned into web
SWISH!!!!
It pierced through the air, its leg aimed straight for sukiro's heart
Its leg dug into his daggers nearly breaking them apart
Sukiro was flung into the web, he was stuck in the webs it was sticky, their grip impossible to escape, their string impossible to cut
The spider slowly walked towards him, it didn't smile or seem to enjoy it..
It was about revenge..
It charged its leg straight at him!!
Sukiro watched the leg come at him, his face turned pale.. In one last effort he moved just enough to barely dodge it
The spider cut through his own web and sukiro fell down barely escaping
But this pissed the spider off even more
Its fangs opened a green substance shot through it
Sukiro instinctively dodged it but it scraped against his jacket
POP! POP!
His jacket started to melt away into liquid, he threw it to the ground
"It has poison has well?" he sighed
"My instincts saved me this time i would have been melted away if i didn't dodge it in time, even after klaus's training that poison affected me"
The spider walks towards him..
Sukiro smiles "I wonder how good your poison really is?, will it burn you away aswell?" he yelled pointing his daggers at it
They both start to run towards each other
The spider throws poison at him but sukiro sweeps below him
The spider turns around to find sukiro running away
It grins..
Sukiro dodges all of its attacks while it chases him down
The poison, the webs, its legs he dodges all
He grabs the leg he had previously cut off
And finally turns around
The party arrived inside the dungeon nearing the boss room
"To think it was a misleading gate… how could i have made such a mistake.." Elijah mumbled.. He couldn't face the party from guilt
No one spoke a word but everyone was amazed..
The way sukiro had slaughtered the monsters was truly amazing yet horrifying…
Sukiro grabbed the giant leg and ran towards the monster
He knew that the spider was not a common monster it was intelligent
The spider had realized sukiro was scared that he was desperate as so he started to run away and grab its wasted leg as a last defence
But that was what sukiro wanted the spider to think
Sukiro hurdled the severed leg at the spider
The spider hissed and spat acid to melt it just as planned
"Got you" he whispered…
The leg dissolved but sukiro was no where to be seen
The spider looked around in confusion
Sukiro jumped from above..
D-rank skill: slash activated
He swiped down in a flash his daggers reflecting wrath
STRIKE!!!!
He cutted its eyes open!!
The spider screamed in pain wailing..
But sukiro did not stop he cut through all the eyes..
But that didn't satisfy him
He slashed open its head and cut down its brain…
But he didn't stop he didn't want to
His eyes turned red… it was as if something had possessed him.. They flared crimson reflecting destruction..
A voice appeared, a voice that only appears when you grow stronger
Voice of the world, it echoed and the world bowed from it..
D-rank skill: slash has evolved into B-rank skill:slash successfully
The flying ship bursted through the boss room
The party rushed out to aid sukiro…
But what they saw changed their view on sukiro forever
"Is that… the boss?" sirius whispered no one answered. Sukiro's blades dripped red..
He had disfigured the spider to a point where the party couldn't even recognise what sukiro was cutting down
His eyes turned towards them as if they were another monster that needed to be cut down
The party stepped back…
Sukiro had finally stopped..
His entire body covered with blood
He jumped down…
He slowly walked to them
Nobody spoke a word…
He whipped the blood from his mouth, looked at them once and muttered "I need a bath"
He stepped into the ship and sat silently, he had collapsed like a warrior…
