When my eyes finally made out Lillian Myerscough's true form as a hugeass tarantula, Jax had already registered a plan in his mind. The next second, he sprinted forward and shot through the air with wild intensity and pure force.
Combat knife in hand, he managed to climb up her leg and land on her body in a speed so fast that it was almost impossible. Retreating to a dark corner, I lowered myself and aligned my sight close to the scope. I fired with accuracy in an attempt to divert the diabolo's attention but they are intelligent enough to not succumb to distractions in the same way that cacs would easily fall for.
Even if my shots were simply a tickle to her skin, its annoying enough to buy some time for Jax. He pierced his knife into the back of her head and an ear-piercing screech splintered through the air as the diabolo whipped her body around forcefully and threw him off her.
Jax somersaulted in mid-air and landed in a rough skid, piercing his combat knife deep into the ground to steady himself. The shadows around Myerscough grew as she spat a puddle of venom towards his direction and he avoided it rapidly. Leaping up from his knees, he swung his body with grace as he danced out every sweep that the diabolo attacked with her shadowy legs. In that brief moment, I caught him nodding slightly towards me and I emerged from the shadow and ran into Myercough's field of sight.
I whistled and shouted, "Here, Spidey!"
Jax rolled his eyes at my attempt of assist but hey, I tried. And gods above, it hecking worked. Myerscough was immediately provoked and swung one of her legs towards me in total annoyance. When I managed to successfully avoid that strike, it only infuriated her further as she had her whole attention on me and released out a splash of venom that melted the wooden furniture right beside me into nothingness. My eyes widened in surprise as I jerked my head around to face Myerscough. Holy hell.
While I fight death with the diabolo's whole attention on me, Jax ran under her body, sprinting along her legs as he bounded them with an almost invisible thread that glowed slightly in red. When I shot at her this time, her body wobbled a little. Attempting again, I positioned the rifle firmly and aimed from her anterior lateral eye. Pulling the trigger, she swayed upon being shot and it took her longer to recover. Relieved that I finally discovered a weakness, I continued to stall her for Jax as he ran across the last leg and formed a web of thread right underneath her body.
