A black widow


    |Mind showing yarself now ?|(Apocalypse)


    An arrow as fired at my from a bush so I catch it with my hands. Something is dripping from the head, I smell it and it turns out it''s sweat. Why would someone coat an arrowhead in sweat ? That doesn''t make any sense at all. A volley of arrow follow the single arrow, since we ae surrounded it comes from all around us. I swing my hammer to break them all, Lara clap her hands t create a shockwave to send the arrow flying in another direction. Kirego stomp his right foot on the ground, unsheath his katana and cut the arrow mid-fly, Memurien just shield bash every arrows that are in front of him. Monti is a little more complex, the arrow just pass through him like he is some kind of smoke.


    |Well if ya don''t plan on showing up we''ll search for ya.|(Apocalypse)


    I take a step forwards but I am stop by something thin and sticky and suprisingly hard .... wait that sounds very wrong when said like that, I mean it''s like a string or a spider .... web.


    |Lara ....|(Apocalypse)


    |What ?|(Lara)


    |I a going ta burn this forest ta tha ground..|(Apocalypse)


    |What?!!|(Lara)


    I pour magical energy in my hammer and make it ignite itself, I swing towards the thing that block me and feel it break, I small line of fire appear and reveal a web like pattern all around us. When did they set up all of that, our campement is completly surrounded but since it isn''t very regular I guess it was made with hands and not by a monster since it would''ve been done better. Quickly the fire disappear since there is nothing left to burn.


    I hear someone click his tongue, it isn''t anyone of us so it one the offender. I kick the floor and dive to where the sound came from, the other are on guard and keep avoiding the arrows that are sometimes fire at us. An arrow is fired at me but I brush it off with the back of my hand. When I finaly arrive to the bushes I hear a shriek and.


    |A kid ?|(Apocalypse)


    A boy who must be no more than fourteen years old is on his butt. He has a short bow that he must have made himself and he seems to be human. He has short messy dark brown hair and a little scar above his eyes. He wear crude yet comfortable looking clothes. He glares at me.


    |Fire !!|(Kid)


    As soon as he said that three little bag are thrown in my direction, I dodge them and charge in the direction they are from and kick the tree in front of me. all the tree in a radius of 200 meters way from me are blown away and behind the one I kick .... another kid, that one is a demon girl, maybe ten years old. In this world demons are one unique race, they have red skin and two ram horns at the side of their head and an overall bigger mana pool than a human. She has white medium long hair and now she looks terrified. I''m not the bad guy you now. I jump back to our campement and see that everyone does the same, I look at where they had gone and see that we are surrounded by kids under sixteen years old, they are either demons or humans. What in the hell ?


    |I am rather reluctant in cutting kids down.|(Kirego)


    |Well THEY aren''t in cutting us down though.|(Apocalypse)


    |So what do we do ? We can''t let them kill us right ?|(Memurien)


    |Do what ya want but I just stand there.|(Apocalypse)


    The kids get out of the bushes and point their bows at us, those kids are fearless or what ? Well they are around fifty of them so I can understand that they are confident but I just blew up a part of the forest remember. I don''t really want to have child blood on my hands but they are ready to have mine so I don''t really know what to do. Wait, I still have that even if that doesn''t scare them away they should at least stop moving for a few moments and we could use it to knock them out.


    I let out a low growl at first then I make it louder and louder until I find myself ready to roar, I take a step forwards and stomp my feet on the ground and lower my head. The kids point their bows at me and fire their arrows, I suddenly lift my head and let out a wrathful roar.Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit.


    |GUUUUUURRRRRIIIIIIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA !!!|(Apocalypse)


    Lara and the other plug their ears, my roar creates a shockwave that send the arrow flying away and knock the children on their butt, some of them pissed their pants other have blood coming out of their ears, bah we can fix that with some healing magic.


    |Now knock them out.|(Apocalypse)


    With a light hit at the base of their neck we make them faint, then we tie them up with a rope we had in our stuff. It was in Memurien''s backpack so I''m a little scared of what he has done with it but it''s not like I''ll complain since I''m not the one getting tied up.


    |So what do we do now ? We can''t let them here can we ?|(Lara)


    |They look like they survived well on their own though. We can''t burden ourselves with some kids who tried ta kill us.|(Apocalypse)


    |Something is coming.|(Monti)


    |Well that''s true.|(Apocalypse)


    I am rather surprised you even noticed, it''s even quieter than the kids when they were creeping around. It''s circling around us, it''s silent but if I strain my ears I can hear it. I look around but I don''t even see a shadow since it''s night time and this forest stinks so much that I can''t find any foreign scent. I don''t what it is but I am sure of something, it''s not afraid of us even after my roar so it''s either really pissed off or fucking ballsy.


    Well either way that thing is still careful since it hasn''t attacked in the open or it may just be a stealthy guy anyway I took a defensive stance, ready to act anytime if need so.


    |Protect tha kids.|(Apocalypse)


    Even though they tried to kill us I am not too keen on letting children get killed in front of me. I suddenly bend backwards to avoid a needle that was thrown at me, it stabs a tree and it suddenly pass in front of me again un-stabing the tree. Well that was a fast needle throw and I''m not kidding I almost didn''t saw it coming. Well now I am scared, it seems that thing has ability equal to us and we are in its territory. I strain my eyes to allow myself to see in the dark and manage to see an five meters high shadow passing behind a tree at light speed.


    |Okay so Ill say it, we''re in deep shit right now.|(Apocalypse)


    |Aren''t we supposed to be Demi-god, why would we be in trouble ?|(Memurien)


    |If I used all of my powers here we would surely get noticed by spies and tha like, do ya want that ? We''ll have ta solve that as quietly as possible.|(Apocalypse)


    |If you say so.|(Memurien)


    More needles come flying at me, I use my hammer to deflect them it seems that the needles are only fired at me. Maybe that thing deems me as the most dangerous one of the group or something like that. I must say those needles are quite annoying plus they come and go back everytime so I guess it''s using some kind of strings to do that. What do I do ? It''s moving so fast that even I have trouble keeping up with its speed when I am not using Ki on my eyes.


    |Well I guess I''ll have ta do that.|(Apocalypse)


    I gather all my Ki in both my eyes and legs and start to follow that huge shadow. It''s surprised by my sudden action and it start to run away or so I thought but it was just an act and I got caught in a web since I was running extremely fast I tore through it but it hindered my movement. But I least now I know that it''s a spider type monster. I am catching up with it while still deflecting the occasional needle, when I am finaly next to it and ready to smash this abomination but.


    |A womabwwarggh.|(Apocalypse)


    Yup, it was a woman with eight spider legs in her back, I didn''t get to see much about her since I got blasted away by one of her legs. Well fuck that shit, I was sent back to the campement. I stood up a little akwardly.


    |Well shit, we''ve got a spiderwoman with us.|(Apocalypse)


    |Pretty rare to see you getting blown away.|(Lara)


    |I did not expected that ta be honest, Oh well I guess I''ll use a wind type spell then.|(Apocalypse)


    A fire type spell would be too showy, water type would just hinder my mobility, earth type is useless since her legs are too thin and strong for a little earth so it only leave wind type remaining.She''s fast so a wind bullet would be useless, a tornado would be too noticeable. I guess I''ll have to use wind as a plateform to avoid her legs. I charge again at the spider woman, she''s not an arachne since she hasn''t the lower body of a spider so she must be a black widow. Humanoid and spider type monster, all of their body fluids are poisonous and they are S rank monster but don''t be fooled if they are S rank it''s only because SS rank doesn''t exist.


    Once I am next to her ... again I make wind foothold and use them to avoid her kick if you want to call it like that. She''s not that far away from the campement, maybe twenty meters or so. Avoiding her kick I try to get closer to her, I dive to the right then I roll to dodge a needle. I hate this type of monster, she''s too thin to let me have a clean hit on her so each time I try to punch or kick her she dodge. Instead of dodging her next kick I sidestep and grab her legs. I throw her at our campement and jump there.


    She stands up and we surround her .... I feel bad doing that, I mean she is a sentient monster and I know a bunch of sentient monster so you know.


    |Mother !!|(One of the kid)


    |WHAT ?!|(Everyone in the group except Monti)


    |Release my children !!|(Black widow)


    She tries to do a swipe kick to make us fall but when it touch Monti he disappears as if he was smoke and since he was next to me I block grab her leg again. Next thing I see Monti has his scythe right under the kid''s throat.


    |We do not search conflict. Stand down and we will let them go.|(Monti)
