The fiendish spider monstrosity was nearly on top of the small group of warriors that still stood in front of her. She raised one of her long arms and clawed hands preparing to swipe at them when one of them humorously rolled away. That did not matter; there were still a couple of small fleshy beings in front of her. Before she could fully attack, a woman brandishing a sword glowing of deep crimson forced her way through the fiend’s bladed legs. If unhindered, the power put behind the red blade’s master would have been devastating. Yet, the broken hairs were enough.

	With a snap, the large spider abomination was able to shift her body suddenly, and use her other hand gouge at Saria as she lunged forward. The fiend’s speed coupled with Saria momentum left her with little to no room to evade. Fortunately, Saria had allies though not sought, were willing to aide her. De’kae was able to give Saria a barrier moment before the sharpened claws could rip into her. The barrier was enough to prevent any potential penetration of Saria’s armor, instead repelling Saria backwards. The arachnid beast was momentarily dazed by the knock back, but quickly recovered.

	The creature scanned the room darting her head side to side, attempting to find the source of the repelling effect that had saved Saria earlier only for it to catch a spear made of ice out of the air using her long arms. It was aware of the other spear lodged within its spines, but had ignored it. Now, her attention was on the slender girl pulling back her bow. With no one in between them, and no one standing ground next to her, the fiendish spider turned to face Katelin completely. 

	Opening what could be best described as some kind of mouth from between its large fangs, the spider sprayed out several webs that spread midflight. Acting like a net, the webs caught the arrows she had fired midflight, detonating, and setting part of them on fire. Even so, the shot continued until it had engulfed Katelin, knocking her back onto the ground. Anywhere the webs had contact with exposed skins started to feel numb. Quickly, the fiend had crawled towards her. The webs were partially broken thanks to the flaming arrows destroying part of the web midflight, so Katelin wasn’t completely pinned. But the spider abomination was right on top of her, fang poised to strike. This left Katelin with barely a moment to escape.

	Katelin could either fend for herself, or someone could come to her aid. There was still an air of confusion wafting between the champions. If defeating this villain of nature was the goal, it stood still for the time being, making it an easier target. At least, for now.
