"Well the third floor is peaceful so far, I really like these giant trees." I said while we were walking towards a dungeon we heard about. "Meh, I would prefer an open field so we couldn't be ambushed so easy." Slayer replied calmly. We were currently walking through the forest of the third floor, it wasn't anything like the previous floors at all. Huge giant trees were everywhere and we were heading towards a dungeon we heard about earlier. From the others we have talked to the boss respawns every three hours. "Well the only reason you want an open field is because your jealous that I can jump from tree to tree and you can't unless you unequipped that sword of yours." I said as I started to climb the tree next to us. "You know what? Fine, if you want me to unequip my awesome sword fine have it your way. But if we get ambushed it's your fault." He then unequipped his sword and started to climb to the branch I was standing on. "Well with my awesome cloak I shall be a ninja, so try to keep up!" I jumped of the branch I was standing on landing on the next tree and kept on going.
"See, isn't this a faster way of traveling?" I asked him while we were jumping. "Well it definitely is way more fun I have to say." He replied, he was even more cautious due to him not having his sword. "Lighten up man! We are seriously jumping tree to tree like ninjas so how cooler can we be?"
We arrived at the dungeon and walked into it, and then we realized what the boss would be due to how the dungeon was like. It was obvious that there would be a lot of spiders here. "How much does a torch cost in town again?" I asked Slayer. "Not sure but let's go check." We went back to the town and bought some torches. When we got back we both equipped our sword and got out a torch and then we walked into the dungeon. "In any mmo some of the earliest levels have spiders, so I did expect this. But I didn't expect them to be that big! Just come on!" I yelled as a spider almost as big as my waist and around a meter and a half long from each leg to the other. "Throw the torches!" Slayer yelled as he chucked his torch at one of them and while he did that I ran the opposite way . "Why do I have to have arachnophobia!" I yelled as I was running.
After the torch hit the spider Slayer charged at it and hit it with his sword. "Get back over here! The spider is dead!" Slayer yelled to me. I walked over there and said "Did I mention I have arachnophobia?" He smacked the back of my head saying "I believe you screamed it while you were running away." I stood back up and said "Hey! That was a tactical retreat." "Whatever, let's just finish this dungeon." Slayer said as we walked off.
As we continued through the dungeon every time we met one of the thicket spiders one of us chucked one of our torches at it and the other killed it. I was the main one throwing torches because I didn't want to get close to those beady eyed things. That's when we heard a scream coming from behind us. We turned around and got ready to run to help whoever screamed but I didn't have the chance as someone ran into me knocking me to the ground. As I landed I felt a big weight on top of me and I heard Slayer laughing very close to me. "Oh sorry! Didn't think anyone else was in here. And also sorry for knocking you down." She got up quickly and I soon stood up myself. That's when we heard a loud thud coming from behind us. We turned around and guess what? There is a not only one but 3 thicket spiders. "Ahhhhhhh!" I heard the girl scream after she pushed me to the ground and ran in the opposite direction. I got up as fast as I could and ran after her "DON'T LEAVE ME WITH THOSE BEADY EYED FREAKAZOIDS!" I turned around after I got to a safe distance and started to chuck torches at them.
Slayer and the other person was just cutting them down when they got close but the screaming from earlier attracted more of them, and the cycle continued I threw torches from a distance with the one girl behind me and Slayer and the other killed them. When the numbers died down and they stopped spawning on top of us we settled down. "Ha so you're not the only one afraid here." Slayer said. "Hey! Spiders have beady eyes that stare into your soul!" The girl yelled at the same time I did. We looked at each other and then looked back at Slayer. "Ok, let's finish this dungeon so we can get the heck outta here. Ok? Let's go." I stood up heading deeper into the dungeon.
"Well finally! That took quite some time to find this door. Can't wait to get out of here." I pushed it open and we walked in. I looked around and noticed that the room apparently was empty, "Uhhh wasn't there supposed to be a boss here?" Then the girl that was afraid like me started to mutter something. "What is it?" I asked and she just pointed behind me. I looked at what she was pointing at and I started to freak out. "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!?" I screamed grabbing the girl and running in the opposite direction. "We ran right past Slayer and the other girl and I screamed "I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS, BUT KILL IT WITH FIRE!" I took the torch Slayer was holding and just chucked it at the spider. "What are you guys talking abo- oh." He said when he finally saw the creature. "That is one huge spider."
It was a giant spider with big beady red eyes, had a purple body with a silver pattern on it and it's legs were the size of a tree trunk. This boss had 2 hp bars and was called the Nephila Regina. It stopped when it reached us and then it crouched down with all eight legs. It launched itself into the air and came crashing down I immediately jumped and when I looked around no one else did, the spider came crashing down and knocked everyone else to the ground. It tried to attack Slayer with one of its legs but I got there in time to knock it away, but then with the second leg it knocked me into the wall behind us. "Ouch that stung a bit." I said as I was slowly getting up, it turned around and this sticky stuff came out and stuck me to the floor. Slayer and the rest of them stood up and got ready to fight. It tried to bite them but they easily dodged it, and they started to attack it. I knew that the one girl who was afraid wasn't attacking full heartedly and I understood why.
I finally got free of the sticky goo that it sprayed and started to help attack it. It started to crouch again and before it jumped I yelled out, "It's going to jump again! Make sure you jump before it lands." It jumped into the air and before it landed we all jumped, and continued to attack. "Dodge to the left!" As soon as Slayer said that we dodged to the left just in time for it to strike out. Seems I wasn't the only one to view it's attack pattern, since we knew what attacks it had we defeated it pretty fast. And we finally got out of that nightmare pit. "So people, I think introductions are in need as of right now." Slayer said as we were walking back to the town.
"Well I am Azreal, and my friend here is Slayer." I said and then the blue haired girl started speaking "I am Midnight and my friend is Sylvia." Midnight had dark blue hair to her mid back, she was a tad bit shorter than I was, and she had light blue eyes. Sylvia on the other hand was taller than I was but shorter than Slayer was, she had silver hair just like Slayer but hers went past her mid back. I noted that she had bright purple eyes, something I haven't seen before.
"Well I will see you guys in town, there is something I am wanting to check." when I finished talking I climbed up the closest tree and started back towards the town. When I arrived I started to explore looking for a place I could get a new sword. 'If only they had a good one handed sword.' I walked past shop after shop looking for a good one.
After looking for a while I decided to head back to the inn. On my way I heard someone yell "LOOK OUT!" I looked to my right and Midnight just came running into me knocking me to the ground again. "So is this how we will meet constantly?" I asked while I was getting up. "Well you should have seen me coming." She said. 'So your saying its my fault that you ran into me?" I said getting angry that she blamed me for her running into me. "I'm just kidding you need to lighten up." she said pushing me playfully. "It's fine, guess i should be getting back to the inn. So you going to come or you going to go do something else?" "Yeah thats where im heading myself, they just sent me to find you since you have been gone so long." "Well let's go." I said while heading back to the inn with her right behind me.
