"Weren't we supposed to discuss how we'll face the boss? It's likely a massive spider that is too powerful." Aella looked at the massive boulder blocking their path.
"We're just going to beat it to death. What else could we do?" Ganta said as she smacked her chest with her fist. "Leave it to me."
"The problem is the boss's initial attack." Matilda stared at Ganta. "The moment we lift the boulder, he'll stab us with his long legs. There is no question about it."
"And I doubt you two can hold the boulder while stabbed. You'll get crushed beneath it and die." Aella sighed.
"How about… You two lift the boulder, and then I and Aella block any coming attack." Selina looked at them, "I can make a barrier, but I'm not sure it can block a boss attack."
"I can form a shield with my wind, but that's still wind. Don't count on it that much." Aella added.
"Blocking the boss's attack is a hard feat." Ganta sighed, "And most likely, he'll send two separate hits, one forand one for Matilda."
Aella could remember Arad using Gravity magic to make stones lighter, so she looked at Selina. "Can you use gravity magic?"
"I only knew a basic spell, but I can't make that stone lighter in any meaningful way." Selina had already picked up on what Aella wanted to say.
"How about we dig around?" Matilda said with a smile.
"That'll make just as exposed for an attack." Ganta stared at her.
Aella and Selina stared at each other, "That's it!" They gasped.
"My intelligence knows no bounds!" Matilda puffed her chest.
"No… your idea is as bad as Ganta explained." Aella immediately shut her down. "But we can do something similar."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMatilda's tail dropped down alongside her ears, "What do you have in mind." She sighed.
"I have two ideas." Selina stared at the boulder. "We could the walls at each side, then slowly pull the boulder back, using it as a shield. When the boulder gets between the two holes in the wall we made, we would've made a roundabout that we can use while still being protected by the edges of our holes."
"So you're saying we dig the walls and pull the boulder in, plain and simple." Ganta nodded.
"The second plan is slowly lowering the boulder down by using [Mold Earth]. The sspell you dug the hole to trap the spider in before." Aella stared at her.
Selina nodded. "The problem with the first plan is that we don't know how deep the boulder is wedged in the ground, or to the side for that matter. Dragging it back might be impossible."
Aella looked at the boulder. ^Arad, where are you?^ She couldn't help but think, if he was here, he would've punched that boulder so hard he'd send it flying to the boss. In fact, Arad should be able to rip this whole dungeon apart just by transforming. ^I bet he's not trying to use his power as I told him he should hide them.^
"What's up? You suddenly look sad." Ganta stared at her, she was strangely observant. Just by seeing Aella's face, she could feel a bit of her emotions and worries.
"I was just thinking of Aron. If only he was here, we wouldn't be in such trouble." She looked around, "There are also more students around here, I bet sof them had already died from the spiders."
"Aron…" Ganta started thinking, "I saw him beat those two monsters in the entrance exam…"
"He's probably stronger than both of us combined." Matilda sighed. "I slapped him with my paw, but my claws ended up shattering." PEW! Suddenly, an arrow passed right by Matilda's eye.
"You did what?" Aella had already pulled her bow. "You slapped Aron?"
"Wait! Wait!" Matilda started waving her hands, "We aren't fighting anymore. Please calm down."
Aella stared at her for a second. ^Arad let her hit him. She isn't even close to his speed or power.^ She sighed. "Know one thing, I might be calm, but if any other of his wives heard this, you'll end up dead."
Aella wasn't joking, out of Arad's wives, she's the gentlest one. Merida doesn't need a reason, she killed Selina's double just for looking at Arad the wrong way. Eris would definitely kill if she felt someone was a threat or at least insulting Arad, and even the gentle-looking Mira doesn't have a problem pointing her nail hammer at someone's head for Arad, she already did that with Lucia after all.
Strangely enough, Arad has the biggest heart in their household. He's the one who can tolerate the most before snapping and is the safest one to start trouble with and get away with it. As long as someone isn't a threat to his family, Arad would most likely let them go, unless he's looking for food.
But…there is a big problem if Arad snapped. As evident by what happened to Vlad, a dragon holds grudges for life.
"Listen." Aella glared at her. "Aron is gentle and docile most of the time, but do you remember Merida? How violent she can get?"
Matilda nodded. "Yeah?"
"Harm him enough, or harm one of us, and he'll rip your tail off, shove it down your throat, and then throw you into the sea. So please, don't ever try to tick him off again." Those girls don't know Arad is a dragon so they'll probably try their luck with him, and she doesn't want this year to end with Arad killing someone.
"I know. I'm not going to anger him to that level." Matilda said those words and then remembered herself smacking him in the face with her claw. "I guess I got pretty close to that."
Ganta stood, cracking her neck. "We have a plan to attack, so let's head inside and squash that spider."
"Wait! Even if we know how to enter the boss room, we still didn't figure anything about facing it." Aella stared at her with a worried face."What is there to think about?" Ganta grunted, "We'll beat the crap out of it." She pointed at Matilda with her thumb, "You try dropping it with arrows and Selina would use fire to burn its web."
Matilda stood with a smile. "So, the difficult talk is over. We go there and pound it to death."
Aella and Selina stood, "Fine, that sounds like a plan." Aella smiled. ^Even if they were taken down, I should be able to beat the boss going all out.^ She stared at them. ^If they are exerting themselves a lot, they should lose consciousness if I choke them with my wind.^ She intends on knocking them out and beating the boss alone if the fight takes an ugly turn.
Selina approached the bound and used [Mold Earth] to dig beside and check how deep it goes underground. The boulder was a meter deep into the ground, making it almost impossible to drag, which only left them with the option of lowering it down.
"Ready?" Selina said with a stern face, pointing her staff at the boulder. "I'll slowly lower it down."
"Yeah!" Everyone replied.
[Mold Earth]
Selina started using the magic to dig beneath the boulder, causing it to slowly sink in and the room behind it slowly showed up, but it was pitch dark.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMatilda and Ganta stood in the front, peeling their eyes open for any sudden attack, but nothing seemed to cout.
SWOHS! Two massive black spikes cout of nowhere, flying straight toward Matilda and Ganta's heads. Luckily, both managed to catch them.
"This is!" Ganta gasped.
The two spikes moved back, pulling the two inside the boss room. The massive spider was clinging to the wall above the door and used her long legs to pull those two in.
Matilda and Ganta flew into the room and fell in the middle, "The hell was that!" Ganta growled, trying to stand but she couldn't.
Matilda looked forward, seeing several glowing green eyes above the door, each eye was far larger than a melon, this mother spider was massive as hell.
"We're stuck!" Ganta cried, they couldn't stand as the ground was covered with sticky webbing. They are like flies stuck on the boss's net.
The mother spider hissed at them with a loud screech, firing a largeoff her butt.
SWOSH! At the stime, Aella jumped into the room pointing her bow at the mother spider above the door.
The mother spider smacked Aella's arrow with one of her long legs, waiting for her to land on the ground and get stuck, but Aella instead immediately jumped back up after landing on the ground. To everyone, it looked strange how normal her moves looked when the ground was filled with sticky webbing, but they didn't know the extent of her wind magic. Aella started flying just a few millimeters before her foot touched the ground, making it seem like she jumped.
[Fire Ball] A large ball of flames flew out of the door, exploding between Matilda and Ganta, burning the webbing they were stuck in without harming them. This was only a testament to how precise Selina's mastery of magic was. Aella smiled, she expected nothing less from a woman who controlled a second body all the way from her home.
Since the fireball was faster than the spider's net, it reached first and freed the two girls. But that didn't mean thewasn't still flying toward them.
Matilda tried to jump out of the net's way, but Ganta held her in place. "Stop! Trust!"
[Fire bolt] A fire bolt flew out of the door and burned thebefore it could hit them.
"Ape alone, weak. Apes together, strong." Ganta growled at her.
"I'm a tigress. Not an ape, you gorilla!"
