''Just what with this situation!!''
The boy clad with red armor shouted while glancing behind him. A big shadow is walking in slow but frightening step, when its leg touching the ground the small tremor can be felt from behind, its glowing orb is monitoring them like a predator.
The boy, Arya, turn his head and meet the person that complaining, a girl with golden hair. She looks really close. Especially her face, as if Arya turns his head they would be kissing. But Arya refraining such act as he still doesn't want to dead, so he can only leaning his head at the cold and hard shoulder on Linda armor.
Well, it's because Arya currently being carried on her back, or can be called piggyback. His hand is swaying behind, and his chin is resting on Linda's shoulder. In the corner of his eyes, he can see his soldiers is running beside them.
''Big brother, you look like a doll!!''
Emy suddenly proclaimed and pointing toward Arya with the giggle, while being carried by Amore that having a wry smile.
''Indeed...'' Arya smiled wryly at her.
Arya just can sigh and stare over his shoulder, the shadow was still chasing them. With his paralyzed body that can't move even his finger, Arya teared up while he holds his embarrassing feeling to be carried by girls. Well lets, going back 15 minutes ago....
*****
When Arya and his soldiers found something, the loud roar can be heard and keep getting louder and the heavy footstep told them that the dangerous creature will appear anytime, forced the tired soldiers to take the formation.
''Stick together, make a square formation.''
They standing shoulder to shoulder while gripping their own weapon, the Imperial Knights is currently being nursed by Emy in back line while guarded by Mary.
Before long, 9 big glowing red orbs appears that make them froze. Then the mysterious creature shows its body.
Body 5 meter tall, sturdy-looking scale with deep blue color with purple strips, 8 thin and long leg, big mandible that can crush anything, crimson ruby-like eyes that clearly showing hostility, glaring at them. All the soldier who witnessing this monster, stand like a stone while looking at the creature in daze for a while. Arya seeing this, showed his smile and prepared his attack...
Not,
[Your skill duration 'Limit Break' is ended. The user will suffer the rebound, Paralyze effect will be added. Unable to move the body for 2 hours.]
Arya's face turned blue then he lost all his power and planted his face on the ground while his butt is standing out.
'I was too careless, to think I forgot about the time limit!'
''Alth sohldr rthert..!! Lingfa!''
Because his position and as his face are kissing the ground, Arya can't order his soldiers properly. As their people unable to respond him, Linda stepped out while takes off her helmet, grab Arya arm and sling him in her back like a sack of potato, and started shouting.
Like the trigger being pulled, the soldiers grabbing their own weapon and run at full speed to the way they come while being chased by the big monster.
Now as they running like a wind the exit came into view and saw Airi group ahead, while glancing back, they could see the 9 glowing eyes for a minute before hiding in the dark shadow. For some unknown reason, the monster turned its body and disappear into the darkness.

They throw a relieved sigh as they manage to escape from danger, they know they had good equipment but currently, their leader is unable to fight and that would break the formation. They rested on the wall while staring at Arya which being captured by another devil with wonder.
Airi, with the face full of smiles, stand in front of the carried Arya in Linda back. Before he can say a greeting, Airi hand already grab his shoulder and shake him while also lecturing him. The other people avoiding Arya pleading eyes and walk few meter away. With his paralyzed body, Arya who have a cold sweat was forced to listen.

Standing in front of the big entrance that covered with the thick spider web, the boy surveying his surrounding and then turned behind him. Before long, a girl with red armor and black hair appear in front of him.
The girl, Airi reported with a smile on her face.
''Good, the victim?''
Airi just shakes her head left and right, glancing behind her shoulder Arya can see a mummied person. It was the former workers, it seems they were captured in the spider web and become a living stock. The victim blood is sucked dry and the body become like a mummy.
After Arya recovered, they continue their search and found out that inside the spider web was a person, although already dead. They checking the room after room and can't find a single survivor. And the last is this huge entrance.
''Alright soldier, listen up! This is the last one, and that monster maybe is the boss, let's go and strike them down!''
Airi smiled with trouble face while taking a peek at Linda.
Linda folding her hands and smirked.
''Hmm, how do I say it?''
Airi and Linda have a sigh of resignation before Linda stepping forward.
'''''Waaaaa......!!!'''''
A sudden warcry broke the silence around this place, their fighting spirit, morale and motivation already hitting the max.
''Not bad, as expected from the Princess.'' Arya nodded his head but smirked.
'Although, some people here was the former bandit? What an awe-inspiring speech.'
Airi frowned at her master, and try to express her displeasure of his action but Arya cut her word.
''Well, you see. I am not that good at persuasive art, so if we have one why not use it?''
While Linda is having a speech, Arya and Airi just having their own discussion. Long story short, they rushing to the entrance with high motivation in the good formation in front of them is lone spider. Its big body that glued to the ground is lifted with its 8 leg help. It's making a screeching voice and clacks its mandible like provoking them, its eyes are showed some knowledge. The room itself is quite spacious, the ceiling is somehow quite high too.
''Twin Spear Formation!''
With Arya Order, his soldiers split in half. With Arya and Airi at the front, the other is positioning themselves to make a spear formation. With the Wings behind the leader (Arya and Airi), following by the Beaks and the last is Talons. While the Imperial Knights stands in the middle.
After that, they rushing and started attacking the both sides.
Surprisingly, the spider just watching them in curiosity. Not wasting time, Airi group arrived first and started attacking its left leg, before...
~Klaaang~
Metal sound can be heard, when the weapon colliding with the thin leg. 'Tough!' Airi murmured that while retreating with her group behind, all of them having the same experience. Although they unable to damage it, the spider lost its balance because its left leg slipped. Seeing the chance, Arya shouted.

''Aim at the stomach..!!''
The Arya group is attacking the exposed stomach side, and...
~Boiinnngg~
Their weapon is bouncing back like hitting a rubber, they just can open their eyes in surprise for a second before retreated back, unfortunately, or fortunately...
~Sleeph~
-Shaaaaa..!!!
one of the Talons group able to pierce the strange texture of the stomach and currently stuck, he tried to pull the spear but before that, a black shadow pierced his armor and throw him to the wall with a loud bang. Followed that, the big spider is targeting Arya Group with hostility.
''Scatter away now!!''
Like a colony of ants, they scatter away to take the distance but the inexperienced soldiers unable to react fast and caught by its mandibles were split into half. While clicking his tongue, Arya and his group attacking forward. This time, they aiming at the spider right leg. Sensing this, the spider strengthen each of its right leg to block the incoming attack. But that was wrong choice, at that time, Airi group attacking its left leg again and make its lost balance, and the 8 leg is slipped and dropped its body to the ground with a loud bang.
''Linda, Now!''
Linda and her knights that keep waiting are charging forward, with their weapon glowed, they aimed at the spider head. Two sword, pierced the eyes each, and the other is bouncing back with no effect. With a roar, the female knights are hit by the fast leg and thrown 5 meters away as the two front leg trying to pull the sword, in vain.
Airi who planned to rush suddenly stopped by her master.
''Don't hit the eyes!''
Airi hesitated and ask her master for an explanation. But his answer makes a vein popped on her head.
''It's can be material too!'' Arya eyes shining while staring at the spider eyes.
While he know that maybe the spider weakness is the eyes, he didn't want to waste that beautiful orb, not yet! He observed the spider body in detail. He looked from the top to the bottom.
''That is!''
Arya grab his spear and make a gesture for throwing the spear, with the swing of his hand the spear flying to the spider and...
~Zraaassh~
-Shaaaaa....!!
''That is the another weakness, Beaks and Talons attack!! Wings, take Emy and Mary to check the knight's conditions and lets Mari prepare fire magic.''
With a nod, they started moving. Before they reach the target, the spider head tilted downward for a moment before its head pushed forward and a thick spider web launched from its mouth and wrapped the one of the soldier body that suddenly being pulled and bitten by the spider.
''No! Aim for its leg now!! Target the hole in each leg! Quickly.''
Arya said so while rushing toward spider head accompanied by Airi on his side, but they are too late. The soldier is already dry and fallen to the ground like a doll, then the second attack of a spider web was launched again. Arya is surprised and unable to react prepare to hold with his shield.
This time is not to pull but to push because Arya body is being sent flying after hitting the spider web. Airi that lose her concentration because of that, turn her head away and being targeted by another spider web. She froze and just stand in there, as the spider web is completely sticking in her body, sealed her movement.
Before she is pulled, a fireball is hitting the spider web and set it on fire and heading toward the spider. The panicking spider, release the spider web and jumped away, its look like the spider sense is amazing. Trying to stand up, its collapse again.
Looking at its leg, 4 of its leg is gone. Arya using this chance to regroup, and check the other condition. He gives a light lecture toward his two Partners before turn his attention toward the spider. It's currently not moving, but its body is little trembling. Before long, its raise its head and glaring at them in anger. Its body turned purple and the lost leg is growing back!
The spider, lowered its body while the putting some strength on its rear leg.
''Not Good!! Everyone scatter away!!''
They started running around to avoid the heavy impact. Yup, the spider is preparing for heavy jump and crush them below. The spider jumps above and rushing down like the meteor, each time it's hit the ground a crater is made in few second and jumped away, the soldiers is desperately avoiding the rain meteor.
''Hey hey, Linda. Can you do something about this? How about you stand there and when it's come down, you catch it?'' With a serious face, Arya said that while evading the flying rock from the spider harsh landing.
Not far from him, Linda throws a comment as she sliced a boulder which falling from the ceiling into a piece.
'I think your armor is strong thought' Arya stared at her body and give a thought.
Oops, it seems his thought unconsciously spoken. As Arya try to please the glaring Linda, Sena suddenly appears behind Arya and spoke.
''Princess he says that the sight of your crushed armor is nice, how pervert.''
Linda glare intensifies and Arya turns the big flying stone into dust and yelled.
''Stop joking, I didn't say that!!''
In the midst of the spider heavy jump-landing and flying rock, they somehow still able to said something like that. Airi that snapped, unconsciously kick Arya in the back and send him flying straight to the landing zone of the spider.
Arya rolled as he almost crushed by the spider and take some distance before yelling.
''What was that for?''
With a bright smile, Airi answered.
Before long, the meteor rain stopped. The culprit in question having a dizziness and swaying left and right. Sensing an opportunity, they rushed forward like a wave, to attacking. Surprisingly, the part that at first is hard to damage like the scale is easy to hit now.
Although the spider tries to resist, it unable to block all the attack and with spider cry, they able to kill it.
No,
Before long, the spider body is shaking and a spike appears in the spider body, some of the soldiers able to react in time seeing the strange behavior, but few soldiers were dead of being penetrated.
With wounded body, the spider makes a strange stance and start spinning. It's no longer a spinning spider, it's become freaking tornado! or Whirlwind?
The attack become fierce and come at them, claiming another life as it's moving! Melee isn't working, throwing spear is destroyed. Before long, a flame ball the upgraded version of fireball hitting the tornado and envelop it. Mary needs to use it 3 times before she able to disperse it. Showing its injured and burned the body.
However, it only makes the spider become more angry and started attacking with its spike and thin leg, Melee battle start! Stabbing, slashing, counter attacking, even its body in injured state, its willpower is awesome. Suddenly, another strange posture is showed before another attack, this time is using sweep attack. Arya hold his shield while covering Airi behind him. In corner of his eyes, is petite girl with blond hair is currently in pinch. One of the spike assaulted her from 3 direction.
With a fast movement, she able to slip past the attack with roll, and another attack is being stopped by another blond hair of the same height. Arya looks relieved for a moment, and with Airi and Linda help plus fire magic support, The struggle of big Spider finally ended.
****
Before long, Arya started to line up his soldiers and check its condition. The result...
|Wings Division: 3 dead, 9 heavy injury
Talons Division: 6 dead, 3 heavy injury
Beaks Division : 2 dead|
Total dead number: 11 people
And from the Princess knight is 3 heavy injuries and the rest is small injuries.
'To think that, this mission is really this hard, I hope the equipment is worth it... If not, I will cry you know... hmm?'
While Arya deep in thought, he checks one of the spider eyes in its forehead, its look a same at distance but went look closely, its look different. Arya unsheathes his short sword and tried to take it.
Arya ignores Airi for a moment and observes the unknown orb in his hand.
