Chapter 56: Thunder Spiders II
The three thunder spiders who just crawled out looked around frantically, while they were looking around one of them spotted a lone figure standing opposite to them.
The silver corner of Kyle's black hair fluttered. Also, coupled with his serious expressionless face he looked very intimidating.
He tightly grabbed his sword and started running toward the nearest Spider which was (+F)-Rank.
-WHOOSH!
The spider screeched loudly looking at Kyle's approaching figure and all three pairs of eyes fell on Kyle.
-SCREEECH!
Honestly, Kyle was a little nervous but still he wanted to try how much he have improved after practicing day and night.
The other two spiders hurriedly started crawling toward him, one of the (-E)-Rank spiders suddenly opened his mouth and shot an arrow made entirely of thunder toward Kyle.
Kyle widen his eyes slightly seeing the arrow, he jumped side way, barely dodging the arrow.
The arrow struck the ground, forming a small hole in the ground. Kyle's hair stood up seeing the destruction of a signal attack.
"What the hell..."
Before he could curse properly the three spiders appeared in front of him, there was only one thought inside his mind.
The spiders were too fast!
Kyle hurriedly stepped side way avoiding the pointy leg of one of the spiders. He threw out two fireballs at one of the spiders before attacking the lowest-rank spider with his sword.
-WHOSSH!
To his surprise, the spider made an x shape shield with it front legs for defense but Kyle's sword directly cut through both of the front legs of the spider, making it scream with horror.
-SCREEECH!
The other two spiders seeing their comrade injured looked at Kyle with anger.
The ant-size thing dares to be unruly in front of them!
Seeing that their attacks were not landing on Kyle both of the (-E)-Rank spiders open their mouth and started spewing out thunder arrows one after another.
Kyle was frantically trying to dodge but the agility of the spiders was too high that's why they would close the distance in mere seconds.
After seeing the injured spider retreat toward the tree, Kyle's eyes shone with a glint.
'I can't let it go back inside.'
He dodged another thunder arrow before throwing out two fireballs at the (-E)-Rank spiders, both of the spiders retreated avoiding the fire.
Taking advantage of this chance Kyle hurriedly went toward the injured spider and swung his sword vertically, the spider screeched loudly when a huge gash appeared on its back. Its body twitched slightly before slamming toward the ground with a low thud.
The other two spiders went berserk after seeing their comrade die, without caring about the consequences they made their way toward Kyle.
From the dead spider's body small amount of white particles entered Kyle's body making him feel refreshed.
He looked at the incoming spiders, conjuring ten fireballs Kyle threw them toward the spiders.
Even though the spider's agility was high, they were not able to avoid all the fireballs from such a close distance. Among the ten fireballs, two directly collided with the legs of one of the (-E)-Rank spiders making it scream with pain.
One more fireball injured one of the eyes of the other (-E)-Rank spider.
The spiders were too close to Kyle, taking advantage of their distraction he used his signature move 'Eliminate' and directly penetrated his sword inside the skull of one of the spiders before attacking the other with a fireball.
Panting slightly Kyle walked toward the last alive spider, the spider was frantically moving his burned legs while looking at Kyle with Bloodshot eyes.
A trace of horror also flashed through its eyes when it looked at the sword Kyle was holding.
On the other hand, after approaching the spider Kyle directly penetrated the sword at the center of the spider's stomach. Killing it immediately.
"Hu ...Hu.."
With heavy breathing, Kyle looked at Bia with a smile.
'How was my performance.'
Bia gazed at the bodies of the dead spider and nodded solemnly.
-'Considering it was your first time fighting a monster with affinity you didn't do that bad. So 10/5 points.'
"Hahahaha.."
Kyle laughed at the numbers Bia gave him. He shook his head and looked at the white particles emitting from the last two dead bodies but for some reason, they didn't enter Kyle's body.
Surprisingly all the particles gathered on top of the last spider's body and formed a small finger-sized white core, making both Kyle and Bia shocked.
Bia humped, seemingly jealous of Kyle's high luck. She have been with Kyle for a while now and the only thing she can't deny was that he was too blessed.
Just like a heaven favoured child!
On the other hand, with an excited expression Kyle hurriedly went toward the core floating on top of the last spider's dead body.
He grabbed the core and close his eyes to see the information of the skill.
Now that he was (-E)-Rank, he was able to see the skill information without absorbing it.
The people lower than (-E)-Rank were unable to see the information of the skill, not until they absorb it.
After a few seconds, Information regarding the skill appeared inside Kyle's head.
#*Thunder arrow (+F)-Rank:
User can use mana to conjure thunder arrows from nature. The more mana used the more destructive the power of the arrows.
Seeing the information Kyle learned the skill immediately. The skill was useful for attacking.
Even though the skill level was only (+F)-Rank Kyle was happy because finding a skill core was like looking for a needle inside a haystack.
It was too difficult! Even after killing hundreds of monsters you still won't be able to find even an (-F)-Rank skill.
After adding the newly acquired skill, Kyle now had a total of four skills.
He looked at the dead bodies of the spiders, actually even after fighting with them he still wasn't exhausted.
He was sure he could deal with another two or three thunder spiders easily.
As long as the monster drop a skill or two he was willing to deal with it happily!
Kyle's thoughts were interrupted by a loud screeching sound. He abruptly turn around and his jaw dropped.
"I was seriously joking."
He trembled looking at the sight in front of him and immediately swallowed back all his thoughts.
A huge 15 meter tall black Scorpio with nine legs and ten red beady eyes was standing at the edge of the black tree hole, staring directly at Kyle.
It was (-D)-Rank!
Suddenly out of nowhere, huge invisible pressure descended on Kyle's body. Making him sweat buckets of water.
Kyle hurriedly said inside his mind.
'Bia do something or I will die!'
'Bia?'
'?'
Not hearing any response from Bia, Kyle slightly turn around with a deadpan expression to look at the branch where Bia was sitting.
"Shit!"
He cursed as Bia was nowhere to be seen, he wasn't even able to spot her shadow.
"OMG, I am dead."
With a horrid expression, Kyle turn around and started running with all his might. He didn't even dare to look back.
But it was too late for regret because the moment Kyle started running, the Scorpio screeched loudly before following behind him with incredible speed.
