.....Ninety Four
I was transported into an environment of extreme heat as I found myself in the air, surrounded by molten flowing earth below me.
The air was extremely stifling as gaseous vapors were released continuously, making this seem like the closest decision of hell that I had come across. I was still comfortably enclosed in the [Incarnation] as I floated in the air looking for the opponent of the first stage of this trial.
A blinding light shined in the air as a large, winged creature spanning more than ten meters appeared. This was one of the more terrifying looking creatures that I had seen among the beasts that were encircling me.
It was something out of a human's wildest nightmare, a [Winged Spider].
Four large wings proudly erupted from its back as more than 10 legs powerfully wiggled back and forth. Its ferocious face released a piercing scream as poisonous saliva spluttered all around.
The spider moved first, releasing a spray of white from below its abdomen that formed into multiple long and sticky threads. Seeing this I didn't know what to do and sub-consciously fired out a blood swipe.
The attack came out and hit the spider on one of its front legs but that was when I noticed something was off, the blood swipe wasn't red, it didn't even look like blood nor did it smell like blood, it was black and purple in color.
Looking at the spider I could tell that my attack had done little to know damage to it at all, except for one thing, it was obviously angry now.
The [Winged Spider] then shot out a spear or to be more accurate, a bone spear. The spear came smashing down on the large incarnation body I was in, soon multiple bone spears could be seen coming my way.
No matter how I moved or tried to dodge the spears will always find a way to hit the incarnation which had many cracks and holes in it already. That was when a large bone spear came smashing down, scattering the incarnation as it was divided into countless pieces.
The [Winged Spider] stood there, unmoving, but that was when I noticed that it was actually preparing to attack again so I fired off a blood swipe again.
And once again I noticed something was off, each time I used the blood swipe a notification deducting my health will appear, but no such thing was happening now. Even when I tried to bring up the system, it just wouldn't work.
When the 'blood swipe' hit the [Winged Spider] it screeched and flew up. Soon it started shooting out multiple webs from above, I had no choice but to dodge but unfortunately I got hit.
I couldn't move, it was like I was paralyzed. The [Winged Spider] came down to the ground and wrapped me in a very thick web, suddenly it released a whitish smoke from its mouth.
The moment I inhaled the smoke I felt like my whole body was dying slowly, soon I started seeing sores appear gradually on different parts of my body, I didn't know what to do.
That was when something strange happened, the [Winged Spider] shot a thick web at my right eye, which I couldn't resist no matter how hard I tried until eventually my right eye was yanked out from my eye socket.
The pain was unbearable, but no matter how hard I try I couldn't even open my mouth to scream and I thought this was my end.
Once again the [Winged Spider] attacked, wrapping my left arm in its webs it pulled and pulled until it detached the left arm from my body.
I felt like I was loosing it, I just wished to die at that moment.
But then...I felt a strong force sucking me and soon I found myself in a very dark room.

The transparent red figure was observing the human and the origin of the beast that had been transferred into the first stage of the trial through a circular mirror that played the battle at high speeds.
The rest of the powerful beasts were obediently sitting behind the woman like well-behaved children as they also looked on. The battle was not going in the favor of the human as he was besieged by powerful physical attacks from the [Winged Spider]
It had been retaliating this entire time with its many sharp legs and poison, as well as a destructive skill that formed multiple five-meter long bone spears to hone in on their target.
Only a few minutes passed as they watched, and they observed the spider remove the eye, left arm and right arm of the human it was fighting.
The red figure of the woman looked at this scene pitifully, "I thought I'll get to see a human own a spiritual land through my own hands, but it seems like that's not gonna happen at all...farewell human...until we meet again the after world".
"I guess".
