"Kh… How can the gap be this big?" Jay gritted his teeth. Even though he was only a Tier 2, his strength was on par with a Tier 4. Ragna was also already a Tier 3. With the help of his technique, he could be considered equal to a Tier 4 as well.
Yet both of them failed to stop the spider's attack.
"Ragna. Are you alright?!" Jay asked out loud while his eyes remained on the spider.
Before he could get an answer, the Tier 5 spider actually turned around as if it were planning to aim for the weaker ones.
Jay used his beast soul to speed up, closing the gap between them in an instant. He channeled the montum from his beast soul toward his hand and released it in one go, slashing the spider with everything he had.
However, the Tier 5 spider swung its front leg. Their clash ended in an instant, as Jay was launched into the air and rolled a few tis on the ground before coming to a stop.
Even with his most powerful attack, he still couldn't stop the Tier 5 spider. The spider was a little pissed at Jay, so it aid its spinneret at him, shooting its web.
Fortunately, Ragna managed to catch up. He put the shield in front and blocked the web. The pressure from the web was high, causing him to get pushed back by several ters. It was as if he got pushed by more than ten fire trucks at once.
Still, this was actually much more manageable compared to those legs.
"Jay, are you alright?" Ragna asked. The reason he didn't reply earlier was because of his injury. It took him a mont to repair that injury and rejoin this fight. But Jay's condition might not be good this ti. "!!!"
As expected, the spider seed to be able to understand their way of speaking. The spider suddenly pulled the web to steal Ragna's shield. If not for him strapping his own arms to the shield, the spider might have succeeded.
But because he didn't, he ended up sliding on the floor.
If Ragna didn't let go of this shield, he would reach the Tier 5 beast, and the latter would kill him with those pointy legs.
Fortunately, Jay had caught up to him and slashed the web, freeing Ragna.
Still, the spider wasn't that far away from them. It took only a second to close the gap. But by that ti, Ragna had also recovered and raised his shield to block the incoming leg.
Jay positioned himself behind Ragna while placing both hands on the shield, helping Ragna to block it.
Unfortunately for them, the sa thing happened again.
Bam!
The leg knocked them away.
"Gah!" Ragna gritted his teeth as he fell to the ground. anwhile, Jay crashed into the second floor of a building.
Seeing that Jay wouldn't be able to do anything for a while, Ragna had to sohow stop this spider from going to the others.
'Clovis should be about to finish off his enemy. Erwin and Aileen seem to have done a good job as well. But they'll probably have to kill the Tier 4 spider that lody and Kanaria are facing first. anwhile, those six people are still fighting the beasts. There are still about twenty of them.
Just looking at this, I need to sohow stop the spider for another three minutes.' Ragna assessed the situation in his head.
When the spider was about to ignore him, Ragna shouted while throwing his spear at the spider's head. "I am here, you bastard!"
The spider smacked the spear away, but Ragna was charging toward the spider even if he only had his shield.
The spider decided to kill Ragna first since this was going to be an opportunity. The spider raised both front legs at the sa ti.
Ragna lowered his center of gravity to use the ground as his support to withstand all this power.
However, the spider didn't care about it and slamd the shield with all its strength.
Bam!
The force was so powerful that it actually cracked the ground, causing the shield to be stuck.
"!!!" Ragna widened his eyes in shock. He tried his best to pull out his shield and slightly shift it to the left side, as the spider was planning to crush him from two sides.
At the last mont, he managed to push the shield a little bit to the left. He planned to use the force of that swing to pull the shield out of the ground. The problem was that there was nothing he could do to stop the leg from the right.
"Tsk!" Ragna chose to put his right arm in front.
Bam!
The shield was knocked up, pushing Ragna's body out of the way. But at the sa ti, his right arm also got hit, cracking his bone.
"Aaagggh!" Ragna scread in pain as he fell to the ground.
The spider knew this was the best opportunity to kill Ragna. It approached Ragna at full speed, but all of a sudden, Jay jumped off the second floor. Even though his forehead and his right eye had to be closed as the blood kept flowing down, he still had to stop the Tier 5 beast.
Unfortunately for him, now that the two of them have been separated, they could no longer be able to stop the spider. One of the eyes spotted Jay as the spider raised both front legs. One of them stopped Jay's blade, while the other attacked Jay from the side.
Jay changed his posture a bit, twisting his body so that the blade would slide to the side.
Fortunately, he made it in ti. The blade ended up blocking the leg, absorbing a bit of the montum. However, the spider still overpowered him and launched him into a wall.
Bam!
"Gah." Jay spat a mouthful of blood as blood started covering his body.
As soon as the spider was about to switch targets, Ragna suddenly slamd the spider's body with his shield.
"You're not going anywhere."
Sadly, this was just a desperate attempt. With him losing his right arm, he couldn't generate enough force to pressure the spider. The latter simply smacked Ragna in the sa direction so that it could kill both of them together.
Ragna gritted his teeth, glaring at the spider. His body was refusing to move after crashing into a wall not far from Jay.
"It seems that I've failed to buy enough ti…" Ragna closed his eyes.
"No. You've done well!" Clovis' voice suddenly echoed in his ears as the spider suddenly changed his stance.
Ragna raised his head and saw Clovis striking the spider from the side, restraining its left front leg. Aileen ca from above, restraining the other front leg.
anwhile, Erwin and lody ca right after, rescuing Jay and Ragna respectively.
When the spider was about to counterattack, both Aileen and Clovis moved away. It was at that ti that the spider changed its stance again as a bullet suddenly hit it from above.
It was Kanaria, but even with the Tier 3 bullet, it didn't seem to be enough to crush the spider's legs.
Nevertheless, the group had finally assembled.
