Death to the spider

The spider charged forward with no thoughts of defense. As it charged it spit a large volume of venom towards its would be prey. The girl responded swiftly by rapidly rotating her newly acquired spear.

The firey whirlwind that was created by the action effectively blocked the incoming venom, but at the same time allowed the spider to close in. A large needle like leg fell towards the girl, seeking to impale her body right then and there.

The girl swiftly dodged the incoming leg, and countered with a simple thrust of her spear. The burning spear ignited the leg that it had pierced, causing the spider to scream in pain.

The spider did not hesitate as it shot a glob of web towards the girl, but the projectile was useless as it was ignited in flame before it had even landed. The girl performed a strange twirl, as she slashed the burning spear towards the already wounded leg.

The slash was extremely effective, and managed to cleaning remove one of the long hairy legs from the beast. I could only look on it awe at the power of that spear. It was a treasure that was truly worthy of the aura only I could see.

The spider let a loud screech, one that was far different from the ones from before. I could feel my eardrums rupture at the sound, causing me to feel dizzy and disoriented. The girl faired little better as he body swayed. Her grip on the spear loosened, as it fell to the ground.

The enraged spider seemed satisfied with its action, as it leisurely approached its defenseless prey. Large droplets of venom dropped from its fangs as it lowered its mouth towards its meal.

I looked on in horror and desperation at the scene. The girl could not die! She was my ticket out of this deadly place. My desperation was answered as a single idea formed in my mind. It was an absurd idea, one that normally I could never even consider.

I acted on it regardless. I jumped to the shoulder of the girl, ignoring the small droplet of venom that had splashed onto me, nearly emptying out my small amount of HP.

Using the last of my mana I emptied the entirety of my subspace, the location was above me, into the gaping mouth of the spider. An entire cubic foot of treasure filled the colossal spiders mouth.

The spider desperately tried to clear the treasure that filled its throat. But the treasure had managed to lodge itself in the spiders throat. Its red Eyes began to bulge as the oxygen was slowly being deprived from its brain.

This reprive was enough time for the girl to recover. She took the opportunity to Grab her fallen spear and once again allow her firey mana to circulate around it. She did not hesitate as she thrust the spear through the spiders still open mouth. The Mana infused spear easily penetrated the spiders mouth, lodging itself in its brain.

The spider's body trembled, and fell to the floor. The girl let out a sigh of relief as she weakly fell to her knees. She had acid burns covering her torso, but they did not look serious. Her armor had protected her from the worst of it.

Her exhaustion was most likely similiar to my own. When my mana had been reduced to zero my body felt as if I had just run a marathon. I jumped off of the girls shoulder and found a good place to take a nap. After such a battle the only thing on my mind was sleep.

***

I woke up the next morning. My body was extremely sore, and my mind felt groggy. It felt like I had a hangover from hell. The girl was leaning against a pile of rocks and had at some point put me in her lap, but she was still passed out.

I was glad to see there was a limit to her strength. The amount of power she had put out earlier was far stronger than anything I had seen in my life. Granted the extent of power I had seen up to this point were the goblins and the spider.

Moving as gently as I could I dislodged myself from the girls grip and headed over to the corpse of the spider. The corpse was surprisingly similiar to the bodies of dead spiders I had seen on earth. Its long legs were curled up into its body. I could only give out a shudder as I looked at its body.

Despite my revulsion I was not going to let this opportunity pass me by. The spider had been quite strong, and I was looking forward to the stats I could absorb from it.

Ignoring the twisting of my stomache I took a bite from its flesh. The action was instinctive, and it was only after I was chewing the crunchy flesh did I realize that my teeth had finally fully come in. The shock however was quickly replaced by an even greater sense of shock from the message I recieved from the system.
