Chapter 17: Metal Legged Cave Spiders!

[Metal Legged Cave Spider, lvl 5][Metal Legged Cave Spider, lvl 6]

[Metal Legged Cave Spider, lvl 5]

Inspecting the three spiders almost double her size that had pierced through the ground beneath the place she had been lazily dozing off at just a moment ago, Scaly could not help shivering as she realized just how close she was to dying.

Swish~!

Not even giving her any time to read through their description after she had just barely managed to inspect them, the two weaker metal legged cave spiders jumped towards her with their razor-sharp metal like pair of spider legs heading directly for her small, soft, and most definitely cuddleable body.

Water Spear!

Only having enough time to conjure forth a single water spear to pierce through one of the two metal legged cave spiders attacking her, Scaly was forced to try her best in a melee combat situation against the second metal legged cave spider.

Ptsh!

Killing the first of the two mid-air, as it did not have anywhere to dodge the water spear heading towards it while in the air.

Whoosh~

Trying to dodge the second one, Scaly was in the end still a bit too slow, as she soon felt the razor-sharp metal like leg of the second metal legged cave spider slash across the side of her body.

As she felt the pain from this, Scaly tried her best to ignore it as she prepared to use her trusty water magic to deal with the one responsible for the pain.

Whoosh!

However, it was at this moment that the third and the strongest among the metal legged cave spiders finally moved. Instantly crossing the short distance between itself and Scaly.

Ptsh!

Having managed to catch her off-guard, the stronger metal legged cave spider managed to directly pierce through one of her legs before she had a chance to dodge. Compared to the relatively superficial slash across her body from the weaker metal legged cave spider. Having one of her four legs pierced through was far more painful!

Feeling the incredible pain running through her body as she felt the razor-sharp metal like spider leg pierce through her body. Only one thought was left in Scaly’s mind, as her small eyes narrowed. Filling up with a monstrous killing intent.

This was by far the most painful experience she had ever encountered in her life, and she was by no means going to let the perpetrator of this get away alive!

Water Spear!

Swish~

Ptsh!

Dealing with the weaker one of the two remaining metal legged cave spiders in the same way as before, Scaly focused her full attention on to the stronger one that had yet to make a move after having pierced through her leg.

Is it perhaps waiting for me to bleed out...?

Calming down slightly as this thought occurred to her, Scaly could not help glancing down towards the wound on her leg.

At this point in time, blood was still flowing out from it, but it was closing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Given a few more minutes, the wound would completely close up and the leg would look as good as new again. Follow current novels on novel-fire.ɴet

If the last remaining metal legged cave spider wanted to wait for her to bleed out and die, it was in for quite a disappointment. The vitality of a dragon was not to be underestimated and even if she was still a lizard, she still had the dragon blood flowing through her body!

You... You are really going to wait...?

Seeing that the metal legged cave spider did indeed just intend to wait, Scaly did not mind this in the slightest, as she thought about how to deal with the metal legged cave spider waiting for her to bleed out.

Using a normal water spear would most likely not work unless it jumped towards her like the last two metal legged spiders.

Outside of her water spear, she still had the water ball she had used to fight the oversized rats... The only problem with her water ball, was the fact that its power was way less compared to the water spear, and she might not be able to kill the metal legged cave spider before it managed to reach her!

[Description: A cave spider that evolved to have metal like legs that are extremely sharp. The legs of a metal legged cave spider are said to be a delicacy when fried in death flower oil. Although, the death flower oil tends to kill anyone without a high enough poison resistance...]

Trying her best to come up with a way to kill the metal legged cave spider, Scaly also tried inspecting the spider once again. This time having more than enough time to read through the description. Unfortunately, the description was not of much use, as Scaly could only try to come up with a way to deal with the metal legged cave spider by herself.

Hm? Maybe I can try that... I should have enough mana to pull it off...

Coming up with a way to deal with the metal legged cave spider, Scaly was just about to attack, when the other party suddenly beat her to it, as the metal legged cave spider seemed to have discovered that the wound on her leg had already closed up by itself. Rendering its plan of waiting for her to bleed out useless.

Swish~!

As the metal-legged cave spider charged towards her instead of jumping towards her like the other two, seemingly having learnt from their mistake, Scaly decided to try out the thing that she had thought of. Hoping that it would be able to deal with the metal legged cave spider.

Whoosh!

Only a short moment later, a giant ball of water manifested in front of Scaly-

Splash!

Catching the metal legged cave spider by surprise, causing it to crash headfirst into the large ball of water that had suddenly appeared in front of it just before it reached its target.

Splash-splash-splash!

Trying its best to get out of the large ball of water, the metal legged cave spider soon realized that no matter what direction it swam to get out, the ball of water seemed to move in the same direction. Preventing it from escaping the large ball of floating water that it was trapped inside of!

Splash~

As time passed, the struggle of the metal legged cave spider became weaker and weaker before it finally stopped moving. Having drowned to death inside the large ball of water!
