Chapter 307 Unreal Fantasy
The Acromantulas are extremely aggressive. One of their weaknesses is their poor defense. Even a young wizard's magical spell can easily penetrate their defenses.
But this gigantic mutated female Acromantula had completely subverted Evan's past knowledge.
He attempted several successive spells, but none worked.
Their hard black-blue crab-like shells were highly resilient, leaving Evan feeling quite powerless.
Fortunately, this underground cave was spacious enough for him to dodge.
The huge size of the female spider, her disproportionate body, and bulging belly also slowed her down.
As he dodged her attacks, Evan gathered all his magic.
The wand in his hand emitted a silver-white light, with a tearing arc of light, falling heavily upon her.
Click, click, click.
The intense pain caused the female spider to emit a frenzied click.
Evan wiped the sweat off. His attack was strong enough to split a common Acromantula in half, but it only left some deep scratches on this female's shell.
Not only did her defense remain unbroken, it made her even angrier.
The female spider was targeting Evan, her large green pincers raised high, swinging rapidly, clicking quickly, and falling heavily into position.
BOOM... BOOM... BOOM...
Large amounts of gravel and dust flew, and each attack of the female spider left a deep hole in the ground. The whole cave trembled.
Broken rock fragments splattered and fell onto Evan.
Despite the pain, he gasped violently, running and dodging with all his might.
Being pursued by a monstrous huge spider was definitely a nightmare, worse than encountering the Basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets last semester.
He couldn't go on like this; he had to find a way.
The next moment, Evan waved his wand wildly, and the surrounding blue rocks began to deform rapidly.
Under his command, the rocks took on the shape of a monster.
Stone monsters appeared one after another, and with their rudimentary weapons in their hands, they roared at the female spider.
But soon, these transfigured stone monsters were mercilessly crushed to dust and turned into powder.
The only thing he could be thankful for was that they further slowed down the speed of the female spider.
Evan knew he had to find his enemy's weakness. Seizing this opportunity, his eyes roamed over its ugly body from side to side.
Ignoring the blue and black shell on its head and back, he finally set his sights on two positions, the relatively thin spider legs and the huge belly whose contents were unknown.
He was ready to attack these two positions. If that didn't work, then he could only consider using powerful dark magic to eliminate the opponent.
"Click, welcome death, human!"
The female spider seemed impatient because she couldn't reach Evan.
Her gaze became fiercer; her eight hairy spider legs spun rapidly, accelerating her attack, and her mouth began to secrete green liquid.
When these liquids hit the ground, they quickly vaporized and spread within a certain range.
Watching the sinister green smoke, and without warning, Evan knew he couldn't touch it. These gases must be the venom secreted by the female Acromantula. He quickly hid.
The venom secretion was getting faster, and the female spider seemed to have no intention of using the poison directly to bring down Evan.
However, she turned, causing the smoke to gradually form a circle that slowly surrounded him.
Her intentions were clear; she was hindering his mobility.
In the process, he attempted to attack his opponent's eight hairy spider legs, but with little success, they were also covered by a dark shell that was not easily perceived.
Regarding the female spider's disproportionately large abdomen, she kept it well hidden behind her body, and it was terrifying.
Every time Evan attacked there, he preferred to halt the attack and quickly move away, afraid of being struck by her powerful spells.
Unless he positioned himself behind her, he couldn't attack that spot.
Thus, the rounded belly seemed to be the female spider's weakness.
As the spouse of Aragog, the king of spiders, before the mutation, the primary role of the female Octagonal Acromantula was to breed offspring; the abdomen was used for ovulation.
For the Acromantula female, that was the most crucial aspect.
At the same time, it was also the most vulnerable part of her body.
Observing the enormous female spider in front of him, Evan had a plan in mind.
Instead of dodging towards the entrance, he slowly retreated towards the side of the massive pool in the center of the cave behind him. In the previous battle, he discovered that every time he approached the pool, the female spider stopped attacking.
The striking power of her large pincers was too high, and she was aware of it. If she didn't care about hitting him, if she couldn't kill Evan first, she would definitely destroy thousands of white spider eggs in the pool. That was not the scene he wanted to see.
Indeed, as soon as she saw Evan near the pool, the massive female spider halted.
She wasn't in a rush to attack and it seemed like Evan had given up resistance. Around this human boy, the green mist produced by her venom merged and enveloped him closely. In any case, he was in a desperate situation.
The commotion finally ceased; the female spider began to increase the venom secretion, and her eight small black eyes stared at Evan intently.
Seeing him standing there as if he had resigned himself to await death, she was almost perfectly content.
In her view, the human boy was already like a fish in the net. Considering that the pool behind Evan was filled with spider eggs in incubation, the female was prepared to kill Evan in a gentler way and use her own venom to induce him into a coma.
Afterward, this human boy would become food for her and her offspring.
The overly proud Acromantula failed to notice that the stone fragments she had just crushed behind her were slowly floating with the subtle movements of Evan's wand. They distorted in the air and gradually formed huge cones, floating in the air behind the female spider and looking particularly striking.
If not for the lack of magic, Evan would have even wanted to turn all those stone cones into steel with a harder texture.
But for now, that should suffice.
The initially warm cave suddenly became extremely quiet; a strange feeling flowed in the air as both sides prepared. Both believed victory was within their grasp.
Evan forced himself to gaze into her repulsive eyes, diverting his attention and preventing suspicion.
As for the gradually approaching green poisonous mist, he was completely unconcerned.
"One, two, three," Evan silently counted the number of stone cones floating behind the spider.
If he turned around now, he would be able to find those deadly weapons behind her.
But seeing that Evan had already accepted his fate, the female spider had completely lowered her guard.
She was fantasizing about the taste of human flesh. Even when secreting venom, she couldn't help but also secrete saliva.
Due to Aragog's restrictions, she had never tasted human flesh, but had only discussed related topics in communication with other Acromantulas. Natural instinct told her that fresh human flesh was the most delicious food in the world.
Just now, her offspring brought a human child, but it was a great sacrifice in the depths of the underground. She didn't dare to touch him.
Unexpectedly, a few minutes later, Evan kept coming in.
For this female spider, this prey was a godsend.
She couldn't wait, swiftly waving her pincers.
This human child was just the beginning. When the great being rose from the earth, it would lead them out of the cave and into the forest. They would attack the nearby human castle full of delicious food, then they could feast on fresh human flesh every day.
If Evan knew what the Acromantula was thinking, he would tell her that this was indeed an unrealistic fantasy.
