Journey Of A Legend

Chapter 36: Jade Spider Queen

[In the Soul Association]

In his office, Nick was looking at some documents, when suddenly there was a light knock on his door.

"Come in."

Opening the door, a young man in a black suit and tie stepped inside and bowed slightly.

"Sir, as you have asked, I have brought the pieces of information about the kid.", said the man and put down a pile of documents onto the table.

"Thank you. If there isn't anything you want to say, you can leave now."

Shaking his head, the young man turned around after a slight bow and walked out, while closing the door behind him.

Seeing as the door closed, Nick opened the document and started to read.

After half an hour, he closed it and leaned back into his chair.

"Undefeated in the Academy's PGF, clearing a third level dual-zone all alone, joining the Dia Family, and now clearing three Manifester ranked zones in one swoop and all of these things with only a black Soul Stone. Hmm..."

As he was tapping on the table with his fingers, suddenly the phone next to him started to ring.

"Hello."

After picking the phone up and listening to what the person on the other side told him, his face changed instantly and jumped up from his place.

"A zone breaking occurred??! Where?"

***

Inside the ice cave, Greg and his friends were walking slowly forward, while Mila's fire was lighting up the way before them.

As they walked deeper and deeper inside, more and more ice webs appeared around them, giving them a disgusting feeling.

After 10 minutes of walking, the cave opened up and they arrived in a huge open space full of ice webs.

In the middle of them, a gigantic Jade Spider with a size of a house was sleeping soundlessly, while next to it a blue-colored orb was floating gently.

"That thing is the queen? Its size is ridiculously huge!", whispered Mila with shock, next to Joe.

Greg behind them looked around while activating his Silver Wolf's tracking ability.

In an instant, his sight turned black and white, while the creature before him turned crimson red.

With his Soul Creature's tracking ability, seeing the enemies and their not long ago left tracks like footprints or blood, was easy.

After confirming that no other creatures were in the vicinity, Greg sighed in relief and whispered to Joe, "We should be fine. There are no more spiders here."

Hearing this, Joe nodded and pointed at the Spider and said to Greg.

"Distract its attention with your parasite spider. While the queen is too busy with it, you, Mila, and I will attempt to kill it at the same time."

"Okay.", said Greg and ordered the little spider on his side to walk toward the queen.

Feeling a small movement in her vicinity, the Jade Spider Queen started to move slowly and turned its gaze toward the small spider.

After arriving before the queen, the spider looked up and started to make strange sounds, like it tried to communicate with her queen.

Greg and the others looked happy because it seemed that the distraction was a success and they only needed to kill the creature in one attack.

However, as Joe wanted to give a signal to the others to attack, suddenly a shocking scene happened.

*CRACK!*

The Jade Spider Queen, with a fast move, pierced the small creature's head with its gigantic leg.

In an instant, as this happened, Greg felt that his connection with the parasite disappeared and his eyes widened in shock.

Just as he wanted to warn the others, the queen spider turned its gaze toward their direction with a murderous look and a while later it screamed at them.

*SCRREEEEEECH!!*

With a loud shriek into the air, the spider leaped up into the air and shot huge ice webs at the four.

One web was almost a meter wide and its sharpness was terrifying even just by looking at it. It definitely cuts a metal vehicle in half.

Reacting fast, Greg grabbed Emma and jumped to the side. Joe and Mila did the same, however because of this, they got separated.

"Attack it with fire! With that we can defend against those ice webs!", shouted Mila, while she was firing huge fireballs at the creature making the incoming webs to evaporate.

Without any hesitation, Greg swung his arm and slashed toward the creature. In an instant, as he did that, a two meters high fire blade appeared in the air, cutting the incoming ice webs into two.

Joe from next to Mila was firing lightning bolts toward the spider queen, but no matter what, his lightnings couldn't pierce the Jade Spider's scales.

Only Mila's and Greg's fire attack could leave small scorched marks on it, but that was all.

"It's scale is too hard. Only if we could make it break or..."

As Joe was thinking, suddenly a great idea popped up into his mind.

"Greg! Can you make it's scale to melt away?"

Hearing the shout, Greg looked at Joe not far away from him and after a small thought, he nodded.

"Yeah, I can give it a try."

As he said that, a black glove appeared on his hand, while black smoke came out of it from time to time.

Greg raised his hand and shot black smoke toward the creature.

*Swish!*

With a fast speed, the smoke flew through the air and hit the spider's scale.

Black larvas were on it and tried to crawl their way through the hard scale, but their melting ability somehow couldn't melt the scale away.

Time went by and Greg realized why the larvas couldn't hurt the creature's scale.

It was because after touching the Queen Spider, they started to freeze at a rapid pace, but because the larvas rank was higher, it couldn't freeze them instantly.

"So it can resist a Soul Collecter creature's power? What is that scale made from?", thought Greg with a surprised expression.

Joe saw this too and was a bit shocked. He knew too just how terrifying those glove's power was, so it should easily melt the spider's scale away. But the spider used some kind of ability to repeal those larvas melting power.

"I have another plan, but for that, I need to get close enough to touch it for a moment. It will be risky, but if you can defend my back then everything should be okay."

Hearing Greg's voice Joe and Mila nodded and said in unison, "We will watch your back."

Greg smiled and without hesitation, he used Alice's wind ability.

"Then here I come!"

In an instant, Greg's figure disappeared from his spot and appeared next to the spider's gigantic face.

The creature's reaction was fast and opened it's mouth, ready to spit ice webs at Greg.

However just as it wanted to fire the ice webs, a huge thunderbolt and a fireball hit its chin making the attack miss its target.

"Nice!", thought Greg and with a fast move, he touched the creature's head.

"Let's see what can this melting touch do."

Activating the glove's melting touch ability, a huge black smoke covered his hand, while a melting sound could be heard below his palm.

*PSSSSS*

Like acid falling onto the human skin, the spider's scale started to melt away at a rapid pace, making the Jade Spider Queen scream in pain.

*SCREEEEEECH!!*

Almost in a second, the hard scale melted away, leaving a small hole on the spider's head, which showed the skull on the inside.

Seeing as he did his job, Greg used his wind ability and dodged the spider's incoming sword-like leg.

*SWISH!*

"It's now your turn!", shouted Greg toward Joe's direction.

Without answering, Joe smiled and pointed toward the creature's head targeting the hole, while his body lit up.

"As always, you make me surprised every time. However, unfortunately, you are not on my level yet."

As he said that, small clouds appeared around his hand and body, while tiny thunderbolts hit him, making his power grow with each strike.

Seeing as something was wrong, the spider wanted to spit ice webs at Joe, but before it could, a quiet voice echoed in the cave.

"Pew!"

As Joe said that, a gigantic explosion broke out from his fingertip, making the ice cave tremble insanely.

*KA-BOOOOOOOM!!!*
