Chapter 262: Tit for Tat

With Arachne's new transformation, her aggressive close combat style was finally showing their true value. 

As another leg was being sent towards the zombie's face, she banked on the zombie to prioritize that spot over her true objective. Her outstretched hand glowing with the same sharp illusive energy as before.

Her talon-like nails made contact with the zombie's chest, electricity bore into her hand, spreading upwards, and yet her hand continued to dig through. Her nails found their way past the flesh, past the cartilage, and were inches away from the one thing she believed was keeping the zombie alive.

As deftly cunning and suppressive as Arachne was, the zombie's instincts were on a higher level. It may have reacted just as Arachne had predicted, but the driving force manipulating it gave it the answer to its predicament without it needing to think for itself.
