Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System-Novel

Chapter 456: Last Floor

------

The Queen, you could say this thing is the queen of the spiders of this entire dungeon. Its size easily reaching almost 50 meters. A massive black spider with a metallic exoskeleton and many blood red marks across its body resembling strange runes, alongside sharp spear-like spikes that only make it even more demonic than it already is.

This "little" thing exuded the power of a Rank 4 entity, probably nearing the peak, but felt way stronger than its own cultivation level because it was overflowing with massive quantities of mana.

When we got down here, this thing was resting within the 10 floor, or well, used to rest, as it was now pretty much standing and looking at us menacingly. The dungeon's floors were big enough to harbor such a gigantic beast, but it seemed to be trapped here because the stairs that led upstairs were not big enough for this thing to get through.

Was it trapped here to die and lets its descendants go outside eventually? I wondered this question as I looked at the horror in front of us. Our party was ready to fight, but this thing was just looking at us intensively.

And then I realized why it was doing it.

Its eyes flashed with a mystic light that emanated a strong magical effect, those were what one would call Cursed Eyes, or well, Evil Eyes, in some other places. They were special eyes that had effects which affected a person whenever it hit them.

However, I wasn't going to let it get through us.

FLASH!

I quickly generated a wall of ice in front of us, similar to a mirror, which ended making the spider look at its own reflection instead than us. The effect? Well, nothing. Did you expect it would bounce back? Well no, that's not really how it works.

BOOM!

However, a massive hole in the ice wall emerged as I realized that a force in the middle of space simply twisted the entirety of the ice until it left a bloody hole on it. What the heck?

I had looked into the spider as we readied ourselves. Its status wasn't actually that bigger compared to the other spiders, but I saw it indeed had the [Abyssal Spider Eight Evil Eyes], which seemed to be an amazing Ability with many effects on it, each eye had a single special effect, one of them was simply put twisting space, only a little bit and in a certain range, but it could easily blow the head of someone, like me!

Well, I can survive even if my head is blown into pieces, but what about the rest? I cannot really risk them.

The first goal would be to first destroy its eight eyes before attacking any further.

BOOM!

Another hole emerged in the ice wall as I covered it with ice.

Meanwhile, the rest of my party was dealing a hundred of other smaller spiders that were coming to us from our backs.

"HYAAA!"

"ROOAR!"

Yuki had merged with her Beast Spirit temporarily, as her fur turned white and black stripped, while her ears were now those of a tiger, and she looked exactly as if she had turned into a tiger-kin beast-girl instead. Amazing. With this, her power had been boosted a lot too. She was using this form to massacre a large group of spiders with her large claws and powerful kicks.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

She was putting a great amount of work!

"WOOF!"

Meanwhile, Frost rushed forward, coating himself on his armor of scales and a powerful aura of ice and snow, he was roaring furiously as he ravaged the monstrous spiders into pieces with his claws and jaws, and even his tail grew longer, covered in scales and having a pointy and sharp tip, he impaled many of the spiders with it as well.

"CRAA!"

Huginn and Muninn were pulling a lot of effort as well, unleashing rays of bright light and powerful beams of darkness, alongside sharp projectiles made out of their feathers. And that's without even mentioning their amazing and powerful claws and beaks, which easily broke through their foes.

I also noticed Kuro, who was swimming across the darkness while catching the spiders into her shadow storage, crushing them there mercilessly. Her strong shadows were like a spiderweb by itself, easily catching many of our foes at the same time. She was a formidable fighter.

And then there was Miranda, who was also using her snake body and unleashing a combination of physical whip attacks using her entire body as if it were an unliving whip, while she channeled her mana into her Mana Core within the corpse and was able to conjure dark magic such as Shadow Spears. Meanwhile, she also spread mold across the spiders, slowly infecting a dozen of them and making them join us, attacking their own kin.

Meanwhile, the ghosts were all together fighting as well. Rose was putting her great work in the field as she expanded her sea of blood across and shaped it as countless spears, piercing the bodies of the spiders and sucking their fluids easily, drying them all into mummies.

Yukihime used her powerful ice blade to slash and freeze them, while using Moonlight magic to unleash bright flashes of light that actually stunned the spiders on place, although I doubt I can do it with such a big one.

Meanwhile, Mikoto used her draconic power, even as a ghost, to bite, slash, and crush our foes mercilessly. Her powerful Moonlight Phantasmal Breath was a great widespread attack, covering a lot of range and places.

And Skadi and Uller who wanted to fight against the spiders were with me, as all three of us moved forward towards the final boss of this little dungeon adventure.

"HISSSS…!"

The giant spider hissed back at us as its entire body emanated a powerful dark aura. It suddenly shaped it as countless tiny spiders made of magical aura, throwing them all at us!
