Scarlet
The arachne, although startled for a mont, rushes towards as well, eting halfway with one of its bladed legs clashing directly with my claws. And unlike all of the attacks I shared with the taracht, I actually manage to hold my ground a little despite the level difference of about seventy levels between us.
The spiders strike pushes back, my feet digging through the ground.
Just the fact that Im able to contend with it and not get completely wiped out in a physical confrontation goes to show just how strong my beast form is, not to ntion the blood tal.
I reach forward with my other hand, only for the spider to send two more limbs towards while also using her human hands to throw a bolt of poison that I end up disengaging to avoid, jumping back and away from the creature.
We battlllle theeen, the arachne says, her humanoid eyes narrowing on .
Scarlet, I should warn you that any orders this demon may have probably wont be enough to stop her from actually trying to kill you if you fight it, Tar ntions as I summon my blood shadow and have it circle around to the other side of the arachne, whose eyes are glancing between and it. An arachne just doesnt have the intelligence for it. The creature will end up losing itself to its rage as unlike the arachnae, arachne are creatures of the Wrath sin.
My eyes narrow slightly at that, but I continue keeping my gaze locked on the arachne still.
Then let it.
I raise one arm and begin summoning two dozen weapons of blood in the air all around the arachne before dropping my arm and sending them all flying towards it from different angles. And at the sa ti, I order my blood shadow to attack it.
The arachne lets out a loud screech that sends what looks like visible soundwaves outwards at my blood weapons, making wince and almost drop down to my knees, just barely managing to stop myself by lowering the sensitivity of my ears.
Why the hell does a creature who specializes in poison type magics have a sound based skill?!
That Im not sure, Tar says, surprising even more than the arachne by his ignorance of the subject.
Well thats annoying.
The arachne continues letting out screech after screech while fending off my blood shadow with relative ease through its spider limbs. But then it suddenly freezes in place and begins radiating a purple light that has focusing solely on the fight again.
The purple light imdiately turns into a light spray of so sort of acidic poison that burns everything it touches. Whether that be the grass, the trees, the leaves, my blood shadow, or even the small amount that gets on before I jump away.
Fortunately it only manages to burn through the armor on my right sleeve and doesnt get past the blood armor underneath. Although it wouldve been worse if more of it got on .
I cant help but notice my blood shadow though, as the thing doesnt actually seem to be hard much if at all by the acid. The only thing I saw from it was a small amount of red steam floating into the air. Like the acid had boiled a tiny amount of the blood making up the blood shadow.
Oh. Wait. Can you really poison a walking clone made out of just blood and my shadow?
Probably not, Tar comnts, making grin a little. Not with most poisons at least. Corruption maybe, and acidic poisons definitely. But not regular poisons.
Thats good to know.
Then the arachne finally gets a clean hit on my clone, sending it flying into a tree where a large portion of the blood making up its body splatters the tree, making my clone shrink a little.
Doesnt change the fact that the clone is a lot weaker than the spider though, he adds as if an afterthought as I grimace at the sight.
Well, that decreases its use again.
The arachne lets out another screech, but midway through the screech begins to turn into a scream. A much more humanlike scream from it. And I cant help but frown as I wonder what its doing.
Then a large wad of silk shoots out of the creatures spinneret before floating into the air and forming a sphere above the creatures head. And it doesnt stop there as more and more silk shoots out in a constant stream as the creature screams its heart out.
Is it in pain?
Im so confused right now. It shouldnt hurt a spider to create silk, so why
Maybe its the massive amount its creating at once? Tar suggests, and I nod in agreent since its the only reason that makes any sense.
That aside though, I imdiately use null magic field around the arachne, which only has the creatures screaming go up a pitch again. But it doesnt stop.
Interesting.
I sprint forwards before raising my clawed right hand and striking at the arachne, only for it to raise a limb to block it. But the way it does so is incredibly awkward since it doesnt seem to be able to stop creating silk, making the orb of slightly slick silk in the air continue to grow larger and larger. So my claws manage to avoid its own large claw at the end of the leg and instead cut into the limb itself, digging nearly two inches into the five inch thick leg, making the creatures scream once again increase in volu.
I dont stop there either, instead spinning slightly to avoid another limb before it hits the ground and I take the chance to strike at that very limb, cutting just as deep in this one as the other.
Then I feel sothing impacting my blood diffusion barrier on my side, making a tingling sensation run through my body. And at the sa ti, a crimson light shines from the arachne without much to show for it before the light fades.
Guess the base damage that passive skill does isnt really suited to dealing with a demon seventy levels above . Or at least, not when the skill is only level six.
I am a little surprised the arachnes limb striking in the side didnt break the blood diffusion barrier though. And Im also pretty sure that I just got a tiny bit of life energy from the true damage dealt to the spider.
Which ans that the Sanguine Effect skill and Bloody Thorns stack together. The damage dealt in retaliation through the thorns also activates the life energy restoration of sanguine.
Thats a very powerful combination of skills for when youre a higher level, especially when combined with your healing, Tar comnts, apparently not having realized how powerful it was before now either considering how impressed he sounds.
The screaming cos to a sudden halt, making raise my head to find the arachne now staring at as a large arrow made out of poison forms in front of it and smashes directly into my chest, breaking the blood diffusion barrier and sending flying through the air across the clearing.
And before I even land, I find the massive ball of silk spanning nearly five ters in width in the air suddenly falling down and crashing against the ground, making the silk in it spread outwards to cover the area.
By the ti I hit the ground with a cough of blood, I find the entire area coated in webbing with a large cocoon sohow built up above and around us, blocking the blood moons light from shining through while making the only light in here that of the red light bloody thorns is making shine from the arachne.
Well, this isnt good.
