“This place looks creepy.” Chance clung to the back of my shirt.
Wasn’t she supposed to be my bodyguard? I an, given her age, I was happier if she stayed behind rather than racing off into dungeons. As far as escort missions go, she had so far been better than most. Although now that I was looking around, I had to agree. The back hallways had a utilitarian feel, but this boss room looked like a cave. The pillars rose into the blackness and there were a lot of dark corners to hide in. I was pretty sure the boss was in one of them because I didn’t see it anywhere else.
Cobwebs were floating in the darkness, and the sound of sothing suspicious was moving in the dark. I could feel both girls grabbing onto . I had a feeling there would be so reveal event. So boss monsters just sat and waited, but others liked to make a flashy entrance. I was guessing this was going to be one of the flashy ones.
Predictably, it was only once I reached near the center and the last person had entered the room that the boss door slamd shut, and the torturing began to turn on one by one in a nacing way. As they lit up, I started to get a better look at the area around us. It was webs. The entire room was covered in webs. That only ant one thing.
As the final torches turned on, a large black creature began to lower to the ground. It had enormous fans and eight long spindly legs that ca out from a fat black body. It was taller than , a massive spider.
“Ehhh! I hate spiders!” Cici cried out, leaping onto my back.
“It’s too big!” Chance whimpered. “Soone kill it!”

“We’ll stop it!” There was a sudden chorus of shouts just as I opened my mouth to speak.
Before I could move a step forward, the group of paladins blew past . They all descended on the spider like a wave of maniacs. Even it seed startled by their sudden aggression. They didn’t hold back a single hit, using powerful paladin light spells as they slamd their shields and swords into the spider. It let out so screeches, but at the end of the day, this was only the C island boss. It was quickly torn limb from limb.
The battle ended in only a few minutes when the screaming topped. The n had a few small wounds, but I didn’t offer to heal them. They could have probably avoided all of those had they not acted so recklessly. As they finally left the spider’s corpse, one of the paladins fell to his knee in front of , looking at the two girls with a creepy smile on his face.
“We took care of the spider for you, my beauty!” He declared.
“Eeek!” Chance hid behind even more. “Save , my lord!”
“H-he didn’t even do anything though…” The knight glared at .
“Why wouldn’t she be frightened, you’re covered in spider guts! You’re terrifying!” I shouted, giving him an accusing look.
He looked down at himself, and then at the other paladins who were also covered in spider gunk, and he made a horrified sound before running to Anne, who quickly scolded all of them as she healed them. I felt a bit more relieved though that it turned out that these n who were too dangerous to be around children were actually secretly pretty bad with them. At least there was still a balance to this world.
