Chapter 199: Leveling Up (2)

With fire enveloping his sword, Henry attacked. At the same time, he used the fire dragon skill. A fire dragon was manifested in the air, before it charged towards the gigantic spider in front of him.

The spider immediately reacted. Several cobwebs were immediately sent towards the fire dragon that was in the air. At the same time, the spider charged towards Henry.

Henry did not intend to hold back at all. After all, the spider that he was currently facing was at the 8th level of the Bronze rank. So, with the sword already enveloped in fire, he activated the mountain splinter skill.

Clang!

The spider had already attacked the moment that it arrived in front of Henry. The sword and the forelimb of the spider collided with each other, producing a clanging sound in the air.

Henry felt the incredible force that was contained within the attack from the spider. But still, he did not retreat. So, after the attack was blocked, he attacked once again.

But, the thing that surprised him the most was the fact that, the spider was actually capable of blocking the attacks using the carapace that was covering its limbs.

It seemed that the spider in front of him was not to be underestimated. So, after several clashes, Henry took a chance and retreated. He looked at the spider, noticing that it was definitely going to be a little difficult to deal with it if he did not merge together with Storm. After all, it was currently a level above the black tiger that he had dealt with two nights ago.

Although it might be true that the spider was only a single level above the black tiger, and it was at the same level as the clone that he had fought before, but still, during the time that he was fighting against the clone, although he was at a lower level, he had actually used two skills, the duplication and the fusion skills.

[Metallic Spider

Race: Monster Race

Power Level: Level 8 bronze rank

Skills: web net, metallic limbs, force absorption.

Affinity: Metal. ]

At this point, after focusing, Henry was finally able to see the stats of the spider. Although he had previously realized that the spider was actually at the 8th level of the Bronze rank, that was something that he had detected subconsciously.

He had already felt the aura of the clone that was at the 8th level of the Bronze rank. Although he felt that the aura of this spider was slightly higher, but still, it was not by a big margin.

At this moment, Henry’s strength had already been increased by 20% due to the title that he had received after slaying the clone.

[Supreme Slayer: when the title holder fights against an opponent that is at a high level than him, then, his combat stats would increase by 10% per level.]

Currently, the spider that he was fighting against was two levels above him. So, his strength had been increased by 20%. But nevertheless, he realized that it was difficult to deal with it. In the end, it turned out that he was targeting the wrong place.

Currently, he was holding an advantage against the spider because, the spider, for some reason, was not capable of attacking him with all of its limbs. The limbs were currently covered in the carapace that was metallic in nature. So, that implied that the defense in that area was high.

Additionally, the spider was using the web net in order to be able to deal with the dragon in the air. So, Henry immediately decided to change the strategy. This time, he decided to allow Storm to join the fight.

In a fight like this, there was nothing like fairness. Additionally, Storm was his summoned creature, so, he was considered as part of his strength.

It was a good thing that currently, Henry and Storm were connected using a telepathic connection. For that reason, the cooperation between the two of them was not that difficult.

As Henry moved forward, Storm attacked from behind. And since currently, Storm was four levels behind the spider, Storm had to be careful. And for that reason, Henry decided to be the main source of destruction for the spider. As for Storm, he had to wait and take the chance to attack the spider.

From time to time, Storm who was currently possessing a few skills that belong to the affinity that he possessed, attacked from a distance. At the same time, whenever there was a chance, he would attack.

It was just that, despite facing three opponents, that was counting the fire dragon that was continuously spraying fire to burn the web net that was being continuously launched from the abdomen of the spider.

Although the spider was not capable of controlling all of its limbs, still, it was not difficult for it to be able to control four at the same time. So, Henry was practically fighting against two opponents.

At the same time, Storm was also being attacked by the remaining two legs from behind, and from time to time, the spider would launch several spider webs in the form of nets.

After about 5 minutes, a chance finally presented itself. And without any hesitation, Storm seized it. At this point, Henry had already manifested two fire dragons in the air. So, the spider was having a difficult time dealing with the fire dragons.

All the web nets that it was sending into the air to try and trap the fire dragons were being burnt down. Due to the pressure of the two dragons, it was not capable of defending against Storm continuously, even though it was using two of its limbs.

Although the spider possessed two types of eyes, one primary and the other secondary, they were not compound, but simple eyes. So, it was having a difficult time being capable of keeping an eye on three opponents at the same time.

Using this chance, Henry immediately activated the injury immunity skill. The moment that this skill was activated, he was invincible for two seconds.

Although the spider delayed in its reaction, but still, it was able to react to Henry’s movement. It was just that, this time, as it launched the attack, it was not able to attack at full force. But still, the moment that the attack landed on Henry’s body, it was as if it had landed on something extra solid.

Clang!

The metallic covered limbs produced a clanging sound the moment that they landed on Henry’s body. This immediately dumbfounded the spider whose intelligence was not that much low as compared to a ten-year-old kid.

Henry took this chance, finally landing an attack on the spider’s abdomen. Currently, that was the only place that Henry had realized to be the weakness of the spider. The spider had been trying all its best in order to protect the abdomen, making sure that neither Henry nor Storm approach that particular part of its body.

Puchi!

This part of the spider’s body was completely vulnerable. So, the moment that the red sword that was covered in flames touched it, it immediately pierced through it.

Creee!

For the first time, the spider screeched in both pain and anger. Still, Henry did not retreat. Instead, he continuously pushed the sword deeper into the abdomen of the spider, before moving it around, as if he wanted to spill the contents of the abdomen onto the ground.

At the same time as this was happening, a large amount of green liquid began pouring out of the abdomen. And, the moment that this happened, Henry immediately retreated.

The moment that the green liquid touched the ground, it was as if an acid had been released. The sound of an acid corroding an object could be heard.

At this point, the spider was thrashing around, it’s limbs continuously attacking Henry. Still, with Henry’s reaction speed, he was able to easily dodge the attacks of the spider. After all, the attacks were not organized, and were quite desperate.

It seemed that Henry had managed to find the weak point of the spider. So, after the green liquid stopped coming out of the abdomen of the spider, the spider finally collapsed onto the ground.

The life-force of the spider began fading away, before finally, the spider died. And, the moment that the spider died, a system prompt appeared in front of Henry.

[Congratulations on reaching level 7 in the Warlock profession.]

[Congratulations on racing level 5 in the summoner profession.]

Henry took a deep breath after reading the system prompt that had appeared in front of him. He decided to take a moment so that he could recover the energy that he had spent. Although he had not gone all out during this fight, but still, he had spent a lot of energy in order to deal with the spider.

So, if he encountered another creature that was at the same level as the spider, or perhaps even higher, then, he would have no choice but to use either duplication or the fusion skills.

Those were the two skills that Henry was not intending to use anytime soon, considering that they had long cooldowns.

[Congratulations on reaching level 6 in the summoner profession.]

About a minute after Henry had sat down, another system prompt appeared. This prompt surprised him, because it was completely unexpected.

Henry was not surprised after leveling up to the seventh level in the warlock profession. At the same time, it was not a surprise that the contribution that Storm had during this fight, together with the one that Diana possessed during the fight with the monsters on that night, the summoner professional would be able to reach the fifth level.

But, what had happened for the profession to be able to level up once again? Could it be related to Diana? But, how was it possible that she had dealt with just a single monster or maybe two, to be able to enable the summoner profession to reach the sixth level?
