Chapter 567: Not Again
It had a shiny black carapace, the sort of insectine appearance that always seemed to be a little wet. It was all sharp angles and blade-like slanted lines. It had eight towering legs that looked like obsidian spires with giant swords attaching them to the black citadel of a main body. It had many huge glassy black eyes, only the spherical shape and higher reflectivity of their surface making them seem anything like any other creatures eyes. It was something of a combination of a dark lords castle and a certain famous xenomorph species.
A terrifying spider with legs as large as skyscrapers. Its body hung three hundred feet over the ground, while its legs in their bent position rose to twice that height. The massive creature shrieked at the many times larger tortoise, and the statue-like tortoise lost some of its docility. It had seemed like a calm mobile fortress, but at this time the flames in its eyes were re-lit and a wave of flame rolled out of its mouth. It started to move faster, and the rumbling from its motion caused the small village of tents on its back to be thrown into disorder. The Nascent Souls riding on top of its head quickly fled, rushing back to the edge of the shell to take care of their subordinates.
At this moment the six hundred foot tall spider was facing off against the two thousand foot tall tortoise. The turtle was more than three times taller, but the long bent legs of a spider always made it look much larger than it actually was. While it looked outmatched, it at least looked like it could put up a fight against the giant. It was nothing like when the mountain sized monster with feet large enough to flatten a city block was coming after a human.
For a moment, Sage was hoping the arrival of a new enemy would pull the tortoises attention away from him. Surely the Living Disaster would feel threatened by the giant spider and the following battle would give him time to escape. If he got far enough away, maybe Hei Bais side wouldnt be able to convince the Living Disaster to keep chasing him.
That moment of distraction was just on time with the giant spider hurling its ball of webbing. The Soul Clone moved to avoid it, but the thing spread into a net shape in the air and fell downwards. It landed on top of the Soul Clone, but thankfully the Soul Clone was not a physical being, the web passed right through it. Unfortunately, the web was not that simple. While it passed through the Soul Clone without resistance, the Soul Clone felt itself slowing down. How could spider silk slow down a ghost? Without time to figure out the why, it was more important for him to focus on the way out. Theyd caught up!
The Soul Clone dove to the side at full speed, avoiding the building sized spear that was the spiders leg. It stabbed into the swampy ground, for a moment looking like a black metal building listing over to the side. Then he had to avoid the wide disc shaped sole of the Living Disaster, having to fly out of the way of the block flattening footprint.
Boom!
Avoiding two giant feet in a row, Sage felt time running out. Three more giant spider legs were coming his way while the tortoise was picking its foot back up. He could already feel the temperature rise with the tortoise opening its mouth and aiming a tongue of flame towards him. The two monsters got closer and closer, and that wrong feeling grew larger. He avoided two more falling buildings, the spindly spider legs like building sized swords. Dipping below the surface of the water, he hid from the flood of fire that bathed the area, but that also meant when he flew back up out of the ground, he was just in time to get smashed by the tortoises foot.
The sky dimmed, an artificial sky fell upon him from above and the Soul Clone tried to dip into the water again, but the foot didnt just fall, it stomped down. A huge force fell downward, aiming to smash Sage into nothing.
