unexpected encounter

after summoning black claw he started his journey over the mountain range again after a few hours it was mid day and snake bone a black claw were wondering around lux as he was resting he was making good progress thanks to the monster sense spell he could avoid all the powerful monsters territory but he now needs to make it through a beasts territory

lux "what beast is it"

black claw look at him confused

grimoire 'the spell is just mana detection in a sort it just says were a monster is based on the mana

lux being a bit disappointed keeps on looking at the open area with around cave entrances after looking for awhile he decided to go for it after running half of the open area them he heard something to his right a 8 legged monster emerged around 2 meters in Hight pitch black skin and red eyes

lux "what the hell is that"

grimoire 'that's a shadow spider a night hunter but all the caves must be its nest so you awoke it now it feels threatened you should turn and fight you cant out run it'

after hearing that lux's face didn't look good so he stoped and looked at the spider

grimoire 'recommend you use highly toxic poison the shadow spider is poisons no normal poison will kill it and you don't have any high level undead to fight it'

as the spider spots its opponent it charges at him feeling scared lux goes to run but he knows its useless so he decides to fight to the death turning to face it

lux "black claw go for its eyes snake bone go for the legs"

after saying that black claw who was in the sky dived at the spider as it vision wasn't good at day it didn't see it coming but it felt its prescience but it was to late black claw took out 3 of its 8 eyes as the spider tried to deal with black claw snake bone bit strait into the spiders leg

lux "poison bone spear"

as he said that a spear covered in black necrotic poisons shot out the ground a few feet in front of the spider but then it jumps but the spear was still going leaving a cut all along the bottom of the spider but lux had used 20 mana on that poison bone spear

the spider lands 30 meters away from lux snake bone makes it to lux's side the spider clearly effected by the poison wobbled trying to stay up right but then it let out a Schreck of blood freezing sound

grimoire 'shadow spider has gone berserk run run fast run far'

lux "what why"

grimoire 'its given up on living it will kill its enemy even if it dies it will hold nothing back run now

lux "but you said i cant out run it"

grimoire 'use black claw to take out 3 more eyes it will be practically blind in day time'

lux "black claw go for the eyes again hurry"

as black claw heard this it dived at the screeching spider but then it put its front legs over its eyes as black claw was to close it couldn't stop after making contact with its leg the spider swatted black claw to the ground breaking one of its wing bones after the spider sore black claw unable to move it locked eye with lux chills ran down his back

lux sore that its right side legs were very week the poison was eroding its joints realising he cant run he decided to stand and fight

lux "snake bone go for its legs"

snake bone jumped out straight for the spider it was the best benefit of undead creatures they don't fear death or a strong opponent they just do what they are needed to do

snake bone attacked the leg as the spider attacked it shattering snake bones tail but snake bone took 2 of its damaged legs and damaged the 3rd one really bad after snake bone went to attack again but it couldn't move with its shattered tail

seeing this the spider lounged after lux a a limping speed with almost half its leg damaged it was slower but not slow enough lux panicked it didn't expect it to still be able to move 2 of the 5 eyes started to go black because of the poison

with 10 mana left he couldn't make a poison strong enough to do anything then the spider shot something at him from its mouth hitting his leg

lux "what's this"

grimoire 'spider trap a skill spiders use to stop small pray from running of'

after hearing this he knew he couldn't run seeing the spider charging still 20 meters away he

lux "bone bullet, bone bullet, bone bullet, bone bullet, bone bullet, bone bullet...."

unleashing 10 bone bullets at the spiders eyes taking out one of the poisoned ones and a normal one but that didn't slow it down it was now 5 meters away feeling no hope his libs started to go numb

lux "what's happening to me"

grimoire 'it seems you been poisoned by the spider trap'

after hearing that he looked up as his eyes closed he sore a shadow fly over his head but it was to late he pasted out

the shadow cut the spider clean in half

??? "not bad not bad at all taking a shadow reaper spider down with him but its a good job he didn't awake the nest below he only woke the entrance gradian even I don't want the hassle of fighting a queen"

shadow spider, shadow reaper spider, shadow solder spider, shadow royal solder spider, shadow royal spider, shadow king spider, shadow queen spider

the cave goes miles under ground so monster sense didn't see the horde of monsters below
