《Guardians : Awakening of Athene》Chapter 24 - Mother Lycosidae
Advertisement
Arriving at the third floor, looking for tracks of The Spider, Kiva and King wandered around the maze as the rain stopped. The winds calmed down as the thunder disappears with the ominous black clouds. The dark skies became beautiful night blue, shining with bright skies of the north. As the blue cresent blue lies upon the heavenly sky.
"Did they do it?" King asked as he also stares into the stars.
"The water giant is still there, but the weather's clear." Kiva shook his head.
"Stephanie doesn't have this power, you think its Alice?" King added.
"Probably, Alice and her rabbit. I can't figure them out. They might have powers beyond us." Kiva spoke in a serious tone.
"Alice, I might agree. But the rabbit? Really?" King asked as if it Kiva was joking.
King smiled at King, ignoring his question and moved on towards the summit.
Reaching to the summit of the open field, there stands a green haired man. Looking at the water giant, enraged as he turns himself towards King and Kiva.
"You guardians always get in the way!" The man yelled in rage.
The man lifts his arms, tiny black spiders appeared from his feet. Eight legs walking on the mountain grounds surrounding Kiva and King as if they are their prey.
"The story never lies, the bad guy will always be at the top, watching the innocent suffer." King grins as his voice reaches the man.
"Innocent?! Who? Guardians? Gods? Demons? Or the pathetic worthless humans!?" The man shouted into the skies.
"You people are nothing! Just pawns towards the larger goals!" The man laughs.
He lifts his fingers, directing them towards King and Kiva. "Die!" He shouted.
Tiny dark spiders crowding around, splitting out black threads from their mouths.
"You think the same trick will work again?" Kiva stared at the man with his cold eyes.
He crossed his arms with his palms open, purple magic flows through his grasps. He releases his arms with a grin on this face. As the black threads approach Kiva and King, trying to wrap them around. Kiva grabs on the threads before it reaches him. The purple mana overflows the darkness of the threads, consuming it into nothingness as Kiva reaches for the other threads as well.
The man became surprised, unable to believe what just happen. "The threads, how?! It has the power to defy divines!" He yelled in anger.
"Don't be stupid, I am more than just a divine." Kiva laughed.
The man immediately places his hand on to his face, moving it upwards across his hair. "No matter, you aren't a match for me anyway." He cocky speech echoes as if he has calm down from the surprise.
"We will see about that." King moved towards him, cracking his own knuckles and twisting his neck.
Kiva leaps back dissolving into purple particles of matter as King rushes forward with this fist.

- Lightning Fist - King shouted as blue sparks flow into his grasp, as he crushes his fist into the head of the man.
The fist passes through as if it came in contact of thin air. But unlike Kiva's abilities, the man had dissolved into hundreds of spiders, crawling on King's body. Shook by this moment, instead of panicking, he chooses to be calm. Calling down the thunder from the skies, striking into his body.
Hundreds of spiders electrocuted, escaping from King and rebuilding themselves into the green haired man.
"Not dead?" King spoke with injuries on his body. Although he's been grant divine magic from the gods, a part of him is still mortals, he isn't invincible to thunder.
Kiva reappears as purple matters behind the man's back, slashing him with his glass-made blades, cutting his heads off. Only to see the empty darkness instead of blood. He dissolves into purple matters once again, moving to King's side.
The head of the man and his body immerse a black thread linking to each other, connecting them together. He twisted his neck as his head re-attaches to his body.
"Hello, my name is Kak'zir. Spider Number 6." Kak'zir spoke in a gentle tone as if he was a different person.
"This guy is tricky" King warned.
"2 vs 1 is quite unfair. I will let you handle this." Kiva smiled, dissolving into purple particles, leaving King behind.
King cracks his knuckles, preparing himself to fight alone.
"You think you can beat me?" Kaz'zir smiled.
King leaps to the right, with lightning immersing from his feet, he lunges forward, striking with his left fist. Kaz'zir rises his palms, black mana particles magic spreading through the ground, creating hundreds of spiders. King immediately leaps backwards, retreating his attack as he scans the field.
"You are a summoner?" King questions.
Summoners are special, similar to Divines, summoning magic can only be obtained either by bloodline or awakenings. In order for a normal human to summon their familiars, they must have a summoning scroll and a blood contact with their familiars. Otherwise, it would be impossible to summon a being.
"I wasn't a summoner. I was a primary mage, I had the power of water!" Kaz'zir shouted.
He lifts his arms, commanding the spiders to move forward, attack the man in front of them. Tiny spiders crawled around King, trying to approach him. As they come closer, lightning immerses the ground, causing sparks, roasting the tiny spiders.
"That's all?" King sighed in a violent tone.
The sound of lightning could be heard, but the skies were still clear and night blue. King's body sparks in green plasma, charging forward as if he disappears into thin air. He reappears in front of Kaz'Zir striking his right fist into his face.
Kaz'Zir steps 3 feet backwards due to the impact. His face reveals thousands of black tiny spiders as King strikes again with his left fist. Following up by a roundhouse kick into the chest, Kaz'Zir blasted into the air. HIs body converts itself into thousands of black and green spiders, spreading themselves on to the ground, reforming his own body.

King stares at the creepiness of Kaz'Zir, as he stands up with the body made of spiders. Human skin reformed and his hair becoming green. The rest of his spiders gathered, crawling on his body, transmitting themselves into his clothing.
Kaz'Zir twist his neck as if he had bones, he shrugs his shoulders. "It's my turn." He grins as he bends down, placing his right hand onto the ground.
From the soil and the ground, the earth cracks out, as hundreds of black tiny eight-legged creatures appear out combining themselves into a 3-meter spider.
"Mother Lycosidae, my greatest creation. That is your dinner." He points to King, as he commands the spider to move.
The three-meter large creature jumped into the sky on its' eight legs, looking at King with its eight eyes while splitting out green venom from its mouth.
King sidesteps to the right, dodging the incoming venom, remembering that spiders were dangerous, he steps back as sparks immerse on his hands.
The spider landed down, causing a small earthquake shaking the land. It runs at intense speed, shooting out black silk from its bottom as if it was making a web.
King matches its spell, keeping his distance while chanting and casting a basic spell of Thunderbolt. Blue strikes of lightning fires from King's palms as he targets the legs of the massive creature. Slowing down its movements, but unable to destroy it.
The spider moves its legs left to right, as it dodges some of the thunderbolts. It leaps forward toss out its green venom from her mouth as it weebs her webs.
King scans his eyes across the field, noticing much black silk thread layout on the ground. Recalling these threads as anti-divine, he realizes he should take this seriously. King jumped forward into the air against the spider, raising his right hand into the air.
Blue lightning immerses from his hands, creating a spear of lightning. - Thunder Spear - He chanted as he threw the spear against the green venom, decimating it and incinerating it with sparks. The spear hits one of the spider's eyes. Mother Lycosidae cried in pain, screaming its nasty voice into the skies. Engaged as her eyes drop down green and black blood. King landing in front of the spider, he lifts his legs as he does a roundhouse kick while chanting the spell - Assualt: Decimate - destroying the right hallow fang.
The spider flew back due to the impact, she lands on her eight legs, screaming and growling at King. She charges forward at intense speed, leaping on the spider webs that she created, knowing that King cannot touch it. She withstands the lightning sparks with her anger, mindless thinking of eating her prey.
The black threads surround King, trapping him in spots where he cannot move freely. The spider withstanding his magical spells, his only choice was the eyes. He raises his hand once again, tapping his left waistband, pulling out a pair of steel gauntlet from his magical inventory. Casually wearing them on, as the spider lunges forward with its fang.
He's violent eyes stared into the other eyes of the spider. With the approaching fang, he covers his fist with his left hand, while pulling his right arm back, lunging a straight into the spider's fang.
- First Strike: Thousand Pounds - The spider's fang crushed and destroy as she smashes into a nearby boulder.
He leaps through the air with Lightning Pursuit, excels his way towards the spider. Following up another strike with his steel gauntlets - Second Strike: Gravity Obliterate -, smashing another eye of the spider. He then closes his hands together, releasing them as sparks emit, forming a spear of lightning. He holds the spear with both of his hands, slashing the weapon and destroying rest of Mother Lycosidae's eyes, along with eight of her legs. Stabbing into the heart of the monster, he lifts her into the air with his lightning spear, throwing it on to Kaz'Zir.
Green and black blood scattered across the air, scorching some of the black threads and the regular v-neck that King wears. He immediately, rips his top apart, tossing it into the winds. Revealing this muscle mass but beautiful body.
"Mother Lycosidae! How dare you! How dare you!" Kaz'Zir cries with rage, shouting at King.
"This was my greatest creation! How dare you harm it!" He places his hand on the three-meter spider. Touching and petting it with affection.
"Don't worry, I will make you better, as soon as I kill this bastard." His voice soften as he talks to the spider. The surroundings became black, filled with dark magic particles, gathering towards Kaz'Zir and his spiders. Thousands of tiny little creatures crawled onto their bodies as if they were consuming them with darkness. The darkness formed an image of an eight-legged creature, the bottom was a spider but the top was human.
The image revealed itself, it was Kaz'Zir, but he was attracted to a body of a spider. Becoming a 5-meter Arachne himself, he laughs as he stares into King with his eight eyes. Four at his face, two on the top following by another two underneath. The other four under his waist, with the same positions.
"You fused yourself with your summoning?" King questioned.
"To defeat you and for my revenge, this is nothing" His voice nasty than before reaches out.
King charges forward with Lightning Pursuit, appearing in front of Kiz'Zir. - Final Strike: Soul Severance - His fist crashes into the arcane, but only passing through as spiders deformed his body, crawling onto King's arms.
Hundreds of hundreds of spiders crawling, overwhelming and consuming his body with darkness.
