Aias: from a world of kaijus to a world of fantasy and magic

Chapter 25

As the door closed, I looked around the boss room. It was a big circular room that looked like an ancient ruin built into a cave. There were broken stone pillars around an engraving of a large spider at the center of the room.

I was on guard when the engraving started glowing and black ash appeared out of thin air to form into a black, shapeless mass. This was similar to when a monster disappears after you kill it but in reverse.

It grew in size until it was the size of a wagon, and then formed into the shape of a giant spider. Then the black thing that was shaped into a spider had its black outer layer peel off to reveal the Lateradec spider.

The size of the thing reminds me of the direwolf. Compared to the direwolf, which was in the upper ranks of C-rank monsters, it should be slightly easier because it was in the middle rankings of C-rank monsters.

Fortunately, this time, I know the best ways to kill it from the book I read about this dungeon.

The most effective way to kill it is to smash its head with something, like a war hammer, to bypass its hard exoskeleton.

Since I don't have anything to smash it with, I have to use the other way. There are gaps in its exoskeleton that you can cut through with a sword, and the gap between the abdomen and sternum is a weak spot it has.

The only tricky part is figuring out how to get on top of it.

Once the Latrodec spider finished spawning, it screeched to announce the start of the fight.

Immediately, I threw three spikes at its big red eyes. All of them hit, and I rushed it as it was reeling in pain.

I chop off its left front leg while dodging a swipe of its right front leg. Then I moved back, steering clear of its mouth as it went in for a bite.

Unknowingly, my grin when I entered the boss room grew into a mad smile because this boss monster was an actual threat compared to the small fries on the upper floors.

Going back in, it tried to use its other legs to skewer me, but I dodged all of them till it went in for another bite.

Just before it could do so, I pulled out my shortsword and shoved it up its mouth to let it bite it instead of me.

It looked more than ticked off, if not going berserk, swinging down its legs to skewer me even more furiously than before.

I just take one or two steps to dodge, like in a dance, and cut off another of its legs.

Dodging the legs coming down on me, my mind became so focused that I didn't realize I was giggling. This was much more fun of a game than with the toads on the 8th floor. After all, one wrong move would definitely kill me.

Seeing that I kept dodging its attacks, the Latrodec spider was smart enough to know that it wasn't working, so it charged at me instead, using its giant body to do so.

I jump out of the way to get away from it charging at me, causing the Latrodec spider to headbut one of the pillars. However, it wasn't deterred and charged at me again.

This went on a couple more times, with it kept on crashing into the stone pillars.

"He-he-he. You're a tough one."

Laughing at the surprise challenge, it was relentless as it kept getting up and charging at me without pause, making it hard to get an attack in.

So, this is like a phase two.

If I had more people, then it would be a lot easier to deal with because there is a small window to attack the Latrodec spider when it crashes into the pillars. However, I couldn't make it since I had to jump out of the way of its massive body each time, and by the time I tried to attack it, it had already gotten up and charged at me again.
