Extreme Fight

As I neared the Ginormous Tarantula, I held the my sword fiercely.

The Ginormous Tarantula, on the other hand, must have noticed my presence as well, for it was shifting its direction towards me while shuffling on its eight legs.

"Tak-thud!" "Tak-thud!" It was getting closer and closer, pushing down on the ground with its thick and long legs.

"Uuuu...fffffff"

As I knew, I had to regulate my erratic breathing and do everything I could to calm myself down... I needed to be focused and steady here. It's not a game; it's a question of life and death.

As I recalled my previous existence, my mind was quiet and clear. As a top-notch assassin. As a warrior.

The Ginormous Tarantula in front of me started emitting pressure, but...from the get-go, my mind was set on defeating the Ginormous Tarantula. And I was confident that I could overcome this huge tarantula.

It had gotten close enough that my visage was now plainly reflecting on the Ginormous Tarantula's velvety, dark red eyes.

I could feel my blood boiling and my body heating up as mana surged furiously through my body.

"Uh! what is this feeling...?" My pupils constricted to a slit.

"keruruk!"

Finally, the Giant Tarantula appeared in front of me. It then lifted its two front legs and bent them at an angle.

"What is it trying to do?" my curiosity lasted only for a brief moment as suddenly, my eyes shot

As the gap opened wide,

"SLAM!!"

Oouf! The Tarantula didn't see me!

The Ginormous Tarantula's legs would have penetrated my chest right now if I hadn't immediately tilted my body out of the path.

The legs of the Ginormous Tarantula pierced into the ground behind me before soaring up in the air, its joints folding back up. Pieces of the dirt fell from the ends of its legs.

I cast a backward glance.

The ground now had a substantial hole in it.

"Scary!"

I feel like I've gotten considerably faster than previously. My stare became even more intense. Now was the time to focus even more intensely.

Bring it on!

As the Ginormous Tarantula came at me, its front legs began to throw stabs, as if they were bullets attached to a knife.

"Dab-Dab-Dab"

I would not have been able to avoid the strikes of the Ginormous Tarantula if it hadn't been for my martial arts training and mana infusions to my body.

I leaned back and allowed the leg of the Ginormous Tarantula brush past me before taking a step forward, as the second right....

I was able to avoid the Ginormous Tarantula's leg, which was aiming at my head again, and took two steps forward this time.

"Slam! Boom! Kwahng! Kaboom! Slam! Kwahng! Boom! Kaboom!"

The legs of the Ginormous Tarantula stabbed and shattered the ground so noisily that my ears became deaf from the pain.

I escaped the attacks of the Ginormous Tarantula one by one, getting closer and closer to it.

The attacks of the Ginormous Tarantula continued unabated.

I evaded all of those attacks and was increasingly confident of my victory. After gradually closing the gap between them, the head of the Ginormous Tarantula was practically within my grasp.

The assault pattern of the Ginormous Tarantula was rather easy, thus I was able to get fairly close to it. But, if any of those jabs had been able to reach me, I'm afraid it would have drilled a variety of holes through my body to gaze from one side to the other.

For the time being, I'll aim for its eyes.

As I didn't know much about the Ginormous Tarantula's weak points at the time, I had to rely on my knowledge. So I chose to go after the Ginormous Tarantula's eyes, which appeared to be the weakest point in its defenses.

As I drew the Sword from my waist and channeled my fire mana into my senses and body, I leaped forwards in a flash and stabbed its eyes

I could see the Ginormous Tarantula's attacks had slowed down as soon as I stabbed my Sword into its eyes.

It appears to be working against it!

Since a few seconds ago, the thunderous noises originating from the bursting ground have come to me a beat slower than previously.

I was pretty confident of my sense of hearing, because I employed my mana towards my ears, And with that, I could feel some kind of subtle change.

A particular scary foreboding flashed across my head at that time.

When I got a closer look, I noticed that the muscles around the Ginormous Tarantula's mouth were vibrating almost imperceptibly.

"What?"

I was about to jump two meters to reach the top of the Ginormous Tarantula when I became aware of something sinister about to occur. I hurriedly switched my jump direction from forward to back.

"Splash!!"

As I rolled on the ground for a second before regaining my equilibrium, a foul and turbid liquid gushed out the mouth of the Ginormous Tarantula. I swiftly looked behind me. The location on the ground where I'd been standing only a second before was now releasing smoke as it burned black, or rather...getting corroded.

And now that I think about it, Hah! After viewing that, I couldn't help but slightly swallow my saliva. If I had'nt leaped forward right now...I would have begun to corrode from its deadly heat-poison!

'Thud Thud Thud!'

The Ginormous Tarantula dashed towards me just as I was getting distracted.

Suddenly, I raised my head. The Ginormous Tarantula was already right in front of my face at that point.

"Slaamm!"

Just being startled, I jumped up to evade the Ginormous Tarantula's legs that was supposed to pierce my face.
