Suddenly, a lightning bolt ripped through the air and instantly appeared before the spider queen.

The spider queen looked shocked for a moment; however, a grin slowly tugged at the side of her lips as a cruel smile shone upon her face.

*"Enough playing around"* Speaking in one of the many beast tongues, she let out an almost seductive chuckle as she moved forward, her arm turning into a blinding blur as it grabbed hold of Nymira's face.

Nymira let out an audible gasp as she was yanked away from where she was standing; however, a second later, she felt something hit her back.

"AHHHHHHHHHH!" Nymira let out an agonized scream as an electric current shot through her armor and electrocuted her specifically.

She was already running low on the amount of toki she could control, so the only thing she had to protect her was the armor she was wearing and her natural toki, yet the lightning bolt felt like it had ripped through both as if they weren't even there.

Syra's eyes widened when she realized what she had done, but without thinking twice, she bit her lip and turned around.

Grabbing her friend, she began to run toward the enormous hole that had been created from Nymira's attack.

Her agonized screams echoed throughout the cavern and even reached Eclipse, who was outside.

A panicked expression appeared on his face before it became resolute; however, before he could run to the scene to help Nymira, he felt a horrible chill go through his body as something shot above him at a speed he could not even see with the naked eye.

"He finally came, huh..." Eclipse sighed with relief when he realized that they were saved.

He was still a little regretful that they hadn't saved everyone. He knew that in situations like these, they would have been lucky to even save one person, but he still felt a little guilty about David's death. That was just the kind of person he was.

As relief washed over him, he fell back onto a tree and finally decided to rest.

Back in the cave, Syra was close to running through the hole. She was just a few meters away, and just when she thought she was about to be attacked, she used all the enchantments on her armor at once.

Without hesitation, she threw Herla as hard as she could while creating a "Cushion" spell under her in order to not hurt her.

At the same time, she pointed her hand toward the unbroken part of the roof and activated all the runes that contained her spells.

Suddenly, a flurry of air blades, bolts, bullets, and arrows were let go simultaneously.

Half of them were sent toward the spider queen, but she simply turned around again and let Nymira's body take the brunt of the attacks.The debut release occurred at N-ov3l-Bin.

The other attacks flew upwards and crashed against the roof of the cave. The spider queen looked up with a raised brow, yet the moment she did, the entire roof collapsed onto her, creating an enormous dust cloud.

Syra hesitated momentarily, but she quickly closed her eyes and turned around.

"I'm sorry." She muttered under her breath as tears flowed out of her eyes. A pained expression shone on her face as she ran away, but simultaneously, there was hope.

*BOOM*

The chunks of rock that had fallen onto the spider queen flew into the air as the entire place cleared out.

She could still feel Syra's energy signature in the distance; if she truly wanted to, she would have gone after her. Yet, she didn't...

She didn't go after her because there was something else she found even more amusing.

"Your... Friend... Abandon?" The spider queen asked in the human tongue while showing a grin that quite literally reached from one ear to the other.

"Your friend abandon you even though you help it... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA." She let out a booming laugh that made the ground shudder.I think you should take a look at

The spider queen was now fully healed, and all eight of her eyes were looking at Nymira with cruelty and mockery.

She held Nymira up by her neck while only using one hand. The mocking smile on its face grew larger as the seconds passed, but that quickly changed.

"Hahahahahaha... HAHAHAHAHAHA... HAHAHAHA." A feminine maniacal laugh echoed within the cavern, but it wasn't the beautiful spider queen this time.

"Why do... you laugh?" The spider asked, its mood thoroughly ruined.

She liked it when her prey was docile, but... This pink-haired human was far from docile even after being captured and placed in such a disadvantaged position.

Suddenly, Nymira stopped laughing as a mocking grin appeared on her face.

At the same time, her eyes stared at the spider queen as if she was a dead woman walking, before a few words left her mouth.

"I can smell him...

You're fucked."

The spider queen raised a brow and got slightly cautious, but it was too late.

No... It had been too late for quite a while now.

Suddenly, the spider queen felt a pair of eyes fall upon her figure, yet, before she could turn around to see who it was that dared look at her with such scrutiny, she heard a domineering voice followed by the densest killing intent it had ever felt in all its years.

"I suggest you let go of my disciple..." The voice was calm and monotone, yet everyone and everything within a mile radius heard it.

It wasn't loud. No. It simply reached every ear as if the voice itself was omnipresent.

A strange urge to kneel entered the spider's mind, but it quickly controlled itself and turned toward the creature looking at it.

And when it finally saw the thing standing at the entrance of he mostly destroyed cave, another feeling it had never felt before surged through its body.

Fear.

True fear.

The fear that a rabbit would feel when standing in front of an apex creature.

And right now, the spider queen felt like it was standing before a creature that stood at the apex of all life.

"What are you..." The spider woman asked in her beast tongue.

"Me?" The white-haired man at the entrance, covered in pitch-black armor with vibrant emerald and crimson crystals embedded into his armor, cocked his head to the side and spoke.

"I'm Judgement."
