《Ancient Adventurer Return》Boss fight

« So it's finally finished ? I hope you have something good » Said Katarea. Bora's eyes were sparkling as he looked at the screen. The scan of his abilities was completed and so he began to read what they were.
And as each minutes passed, his face went through numbers of expressions. From happiness to confusion and then anger. He trembled for a little before he stopped looking at the screen and took out two ironskin potions.
« So ? What did you get master ?! » Asked Katarea excitedly, however Bora just sighed and gave her a potion.
« I'll tell you later but most won't be useful for now. I lack the power to use them. Atleast without being completely exhausted after using just one. » He said with anger in his tone. However she could still see traces of happiness in his voice. He must have good abilities that required too much mana.
Shaking her head while smiling, Katarea drank the potion and her eyes widened. She suddenly felt as if her weight doubled. She felt heavy but extremely hard, like a big rock. She tried to pierce her skin with her dagger, however the blade couldn't do anything.
« Damn ! With that and the Necklace, that huge spider won't be able to even hurt us a little bit. » Said Bora. Katarea didn't even nodded, she was really impressed by how good that potion was. It must be a high tier one, she didn't know since she had been too tired to check it's tier.
Bora then took a deep breath and kicked the door open. They were both quite surprised to see that the last room wasn't all dark like the others. It was entirely covered in cobwebs, though they both could still see a huge cobweb at the center of the room, from which four heads could be seen slightly peeking from it.

Before they could even approach the cobweb, Bora and Katarea tensed as something huge appeared in front of them.
'T-The black widow ! ' Thought Bora.
' Woah, that thing is huge as hell !' Said Yoru. And Bora had to agree with him. Fortunately the giant spider didn't seem to have noticed them, so Bora relaxed a little. However that seemed to be a mistake as the spider suddenly turned around.
Bora felt nauseous as all those disgusting big eyes looked at him. Katarea was gripping her daggers tightly. And yet, to the surprised of the two tense mercenaries, the spider ignored them. It moved towards the big cobweb and started to hiss.
' What the hell...' Thought Bora. Looking beside him, he could see that Katarea was as shocked as he was.
' Oh I know ! It must have a really bad eyesight, and potentially a really bad sense of smell. I don't know why it didn't notice you. ´ Said Yoru.
As he said that, Katarea tried to approach the spider, but ended up kicking a rock that flew to the right and hit a wall.
* Hisss*
The spider hissed and suddenly hit the wall with one of it's leg. The blow was so powerful the wall shook. Katarea and Bora immediately understood that it had a keen hearing to make up for it's lack of vision. Nodding to each other they silently crept on the spider. Katarea gave her daggers to Bora and grabbed her war axe. Bora then stabbed the spider's abdomen which made it hiss in pain. It turned around and tried to bite Bora, but it's fangs bit nothing but air. Since it was blind, Bora had just crouched and since he didn't make any noise, the spider didn't know where was.
Katarea then sliced one of it's leg, and the spider also tried to bite her, however she had already jumped away and landed on the ground silently. It continued like that for a while, with Bora and Katarea hitting it and then silently dodging. However at some point the spider began to strike back with her legs, which resulted in Bora crashing in a wall. He felt as if all his bones had been broken and dropped to the ground, which made a loud noise since he had fell on a silver sword.

The Black Widow then dashed towards him, ready to devour him. Unfortunately for the spider it suddenly fell to the ground, unable to lift itself. And then all of it's eyes saw an extremely angry Katarea with one of it's leg in her hand. The spider hissed and got up with great difficulty, it then tried to take Katarea by surprise by shooting it's web at her, however Katarea simply jumped in the air and landed on the spider's head. She tried to severe it's head, but the spider fiercely trashed around until Katarea was forced to get away.
As Bora got up and shaking legs and joined Katarea, they both had to blink when they saw some green liquid leaking from the Spider's mouth. Bora's eyes widened and he quickly pushed Katarea away as the liquid flew in her direction. It miseed them, but when it touched the ground Bora froze.
' Acid ?! Oh come on ! Are Black Widows supposed to shoot acid or is it just this boss who decided to be a literal spawn of the devil ?!' Yelled Bora in his head.
' Nah Black Widows don't do that. So yeah good luck with that thing....Don't forget about your abilities.' Said Yoru.
' Yeah, yeah' Thought Bora. Meanwhile Katarea had got up and ran across the room to dodge the acid that the spider continously shot at her.
« I need a little help over there Master ! » Yelled Katarea, which caused the spider to get even more precise.
Bora nodded and looked at his God Bracelet to confirm his abilities.
« Oi you damn spider ! » Shouted Bora, getting the Black Widow's attention. He then chuckled and lifted his left hand.
« I hope I don't die of mana exhaustion because of this........Ethereal Creation. »

8 126The Choice is Not Yours
Author's Note: (As of November 20, 2021) I rewrote all the chapters perhaps more than a year ago, but haven't announced that I did so. Because that kind of announcement would include something along the lines of, "I'm working on the story so expect new chapters!" But the truth is, I lack motivation to do anything. And I would hate myself if I broke a promise. I'm extremely sorry if you have been patiently waiting for uploads. These days, I've been studying, not well, but studying somewhat. I will definitely bring more to show, with regular uploads. If not this story then there's another story I've been writing that's really exciting to me. It's not exactly similar to this story since it has a male lead and he is a baneful asshole with even less morals. I hope you'll like it when it comes to existence. And I'll leave my announcement off with the aforementioned promise. Meet Amber, a tomboyish, unstable, and cheeky lass who likes to keep to herself. According to her, she'll live the rest of her life on auto-pilot mode, awhile holding onto the few things that make her remotely happy. However, she forgot that people never really leave you alone, be it humans or even the Gods. And exactly that happens, ending her monotonous life on such the Gods' whim. But at what cost to her? Will she be able to hold onto the things she holds dear? Or will she fail miserably and lose herself in the process? That's what the Gods want to know. Disclaimer: I do not own the cover photo.Warning: If you are easily triggered, I am not writing this novel for you.

Humanity won. In the war against the supreme dragons, humanity wrested victory from the literal jaws of the dragons. The strongest species lost their title and was cast down in history as ancient creatures, devoid of any civilization. Their cities, culture, and civilization were completely wiped out, with only the oldest of mages and greatest of anarchs remembering them. Humanity took the achievements of this immortal race and claimed it as their own. Humanity flourished. Now, a thousand years after the war, humanity has forgotten this primordial race. Unbeknownst to even the greatest of humanity's saints, the dragons did not lose to humanity just because of humanity. They had their own hand in their own defeat. But just like they were a cause in their own destruction, they will cause their rebirth without the help of any creature. The dragons will rise again. It's time to reclaim the title of the strongest species.

The year is 2044, as you might imagine technology has advanced. People are people. And the world economy is still in shambles. America experienced a full financial collapse about a decade before. Riots, rebalance, and redistribution. David was 13 when the protest massacre occurred when his mother died. Of course, the world does not rotate around a teenager. Four years of business college and two good friends and a dream of developing real power armor just to cosplay as a space marine. Of course when you got millions and no real drive for anything else after two divorces. You make it happen. All David had to look forward to was his five minutes of fame as an extra to the next Halo game presentation. They expected him to wear cheap cosplay. Instead, he brought about a million dollars of gear with him. All David expected was five minutes of fame before he turns into a bachelor shut-in for the rest of his life. Instead, the Universe got an update. Witness the rise of the Order of the Free Wardens. Witness the rise of the council of races. Witness the legend of the Dreadnaught. Greetings, I am Zalex.
