The massive arachnid monster falls into the ravine with its two severed limbs by its side.
Both Abby and Arie follow it downward with their weapons poised to kill.
The tendrils of purple Soul Energy still violently pierce through Abby's vital points, but they phase through her heart, head, and stomach as if nothing is hitting her at all.
The bright light green glow of her [Form of the Immortal Healer] ensures her physical body cannot take any damage at all.
Everything the spider throws at her feels like nothing but a passing breeze as Abby gets closer and closer with her glowing green spear of manifested rock raised above her head. She is in the perfect striking range but hasn't released any attacks just yet.
Behind her, less than 20 meters away, Arie charges up another one of his golden arrows.
This is the attack that severed two of its limbs before and left a large gaping hole in the monster's side.
He yells out as all three of them fall into the darkness of the ravine and approach the depths of the desert floor deep below.
"I have another attack ready! Abby! Give me some room to let it fly!"
She continues taking hits from the spider and forcing it to retreat downward. The monster is only moving away to avoid being stabbed through with the enormous glowing spear. However, Abby yells back with an unexpected reply.
"Shoot it now if you have the shot. Right through me!"
Arie's eyes widen at these words, but he doesn't hesitate to release the tension of the shimmering string holding the golden arrow.
The only thing between Arie and the spider's main body is the 6 Soul Energy threads and Abby.
The shimmering arrow rips through the air, then makes a direct hit with Abby's back, just as she asked.
Like all of the Soul Energy attacks from the monster, this too phases through her without shifting her form at all.
The golden arrow comes out of Abby's green glowing chest and shatters all of the purple tendrils that attack her without even breaking the golden outer shell.
It rockets down toward the spider's main body, and it reacts by directing its remaining limbs and energy threads to block just as it did before.
Abby takes this moment free from the arachnid's merciless attacks to jump to the opposite side of its body and her bright green energy form begins to flicker and pulse.
She deactivates the [Form of the Immortal Healer] and throws the stone spear covered in her offensive Soul Energy directly at the other side of the spider's body.
The golden arrow's outer shell begins to melt away and tear through two more of the creature's remaining arms before leaving another enormous hole in its side.
The creature begins to screech and cry while blood gushes out from it, then is speared all the way through with a green glowing weapon. Another two of its remaining limbs are sliced away in this attack, leaving only one limb remaining on each side.
It directs one of its last purple threads of Soul Energy at the woman who floats right above her head, pulling enchanted daggers from her sides.
As Abby releases two slashes of pure Soul Energy directed at the spider's head, a final two threads of purple energy with all of the 3rd ranked Dark Guard's remaining strength are thrust forward. One is aimed at her chest. It breaks through the soul energy shielding and creates an explosion of energy that pushes the spider down further into the ravine and Abby back up into the air.
