In the spire, Alvin was standing on the grass. In front of him was a big cave located in the center of the forest. There was some big spider web at the entrance. 

Alvin smiled. From the green spider web, he could tell that they found the right place. A normal spider would use white colour web. However, this winspider was known for using a green colour web. Alvin was excited that they had a chance to find the winspider.

Normally cloud holder wouldn't explore so deep into a forest. They would only explore the outer layer of the forest, because the spire was a dangerous place. 

If Mr Tree hadn't led the way, they wouldn't be able to find this cave that was hidden in the forest.

"Here it is, the winspider is inside the cave." Mr Tree said.

"Thank you so much Mr Tree." Alvin said. Although it was a trade between them, Alvin appreciate Mr Tree's guidance. It was really rare for them to find the winspider.

"Let's do it." Alvin looked at Charles and said.

Charles nodded.

Alvin led their way into the cave, with his cloud floating on his hand. 

Charles was following Alvin, holding his bow and arrow.

Of course, Elias and Mr Tree also followed them.

Alvin lit up a candle in the dark cave. Beside him was rock that full of spider web. 

"Yuack" Alvin frowned and murmured. He smelled some disgusting smells in the cave. 

Covering his nose, they continued to walk deep into the cave. 

Soon, Alvin squinted his eyes as he saw a winspider at a distance. He raised his fist high, signalling everyone to stop.

There was a large winspider in front of him. Calling it large wound be inaccurate, it was actually huge. It was as huge as a room.

Winspider was an all rounder cloud monster. It had high wind element damage, fast in speed. On top of that, with its hard shell, it could bear more damage compared to other cloud monsters.

The winspider were moving its eight legs quickly, weaving a net. Green colour web were formed in a circular and structured way, ready to trap its prey. If the wind cat fought with this winspider, the wind cat would lose in 5 minutes.

They didn't utter a word, observing the winspider. Fortunately, the winspider didn't realize they were in the cave.

Although Alvin felt excited, his motion was calm and steady. Looking at the winspider's size, the winspider was probably level 21. Although level 21 wasn't the highest level he couldn't absorb for his second cloud spell, it was still the best cloud monster for him, considering the powerful cloud spell.

Alvin and Charles slowly moved to the rock in front of them, using it as a shield. 

Charles pulled the bow and aimed at the winspider.

"Thunder boom"

"Wind blade"

They exchanged a quick glance and exclaimed. At the same moment, they cast their spell. They had been fighting together for a long time. They knew each other well that almost no words were needed in their cooperation.

The winspider was quick in response. With a roar, it shot out a web before darting backward. The web was its cloud spell, spiderweb. It was a sticky web that could trap the enemy.

The spiderweb was large and with high strength. It blocked the thunder boom and wind blade at the same time.

"oh oh, no strong enough" Seeing that, Mr Tree murmured.

Alvin's eyes narrowed.

"First cloud spell, rank 1. Wind blade, double" Alvin exclaimed.

"First cloud spell, rank 1. Thunder boom, ultra speed."

Being trained together, Alvin and Charles had a great chemistry. Seeing the winspider blocked their spell, they immediately cast their strongest spell together.

The winspider was roaring, as if angry that someone stepped into its territory. Winspider shot another spiderweb to deal with the qind blade and thunder boom.

Despite its effort to block it, the thunder boom ultra speed and wind blade double managed to pierce through the spiderweb.

*boommmm

The winspider was hit by their cloud spell, bleeding. It was roaring in loud volume, slamming its feets on the ground.

"Yes, nice one. hit it." Mr Tree exclaimed. Although Mr Tree grew up in the spire, it seemed like he didn't like the winspider.

Of course, Alvin and Charles didn't stop. They cast another round of attack, fully utilising this opportunity.

Then, with a roar, the winspider opened its big mouth. With a blow, a strong wind came from the winspider's mouth. In the wind, there was a disgusting smell in the air.

Alvin's eyes narrowed. He recognised that it was the large area attack that he wanted, Gale of Venomous Blade.

"oh oh, got to run" Mr Tree said. 

Without any hesitation, Alvin and Charles darted to a rock and used the rock as a shield.

The strong was sharp and quick, it was slicing the rock and corroding the rock.

Normal people categorize cloud spells into attack, defence, support and control.

However, this Gale of Venomous blade was a combination of attack and control. It had a strong, large area blade that came with poison. That was exactly the reason it was a powerful cloud spell that was good for Alvin's second cloud spell.

At the moment Alvin tried to stand up and fight back, he saw another round of Venomous blade was coming. With no other choice, he squatted down, hiding behind the rock.

Behind the rock, Alvin was musing. It was impossible to beat the winspider head-on. Their cloud spell could handle the venomous blade. 

Alvin tilted his head and looked at the winspider. The winspider was moving nearer to them. Its saliva was dripping on floor.

"Cover me" Alvin exclaimed before he darting to the winspider.

Seeing that, winspider was roaring, as if it couldn't dare to fight it head-on. It shot out more venomous blade at Alvin.

At the same moment, Charles squinted his sharp eyes and shot an arrow at Alvin's feets.

When the arrow reached Alvin's feet, Alvin jumped up. 

*boommmm

With the explosion force, Alvin was blown high in the air, dodging the Venomous blade. 

Every week, they would take some time to practise fighting together. After all, cloud holders needed teammates when exploring the spire. So, they had been practising this fighting way for a long time. 

Yet, this was their first time using it in real fight. As expected, it worked well.
