BXBX NOVEL Chapter 93 Double Team
*SCREEECH*
'Damnit! You're grumpy from your slumber huh!?' Lyrian thought to himself as he tried to withstand the force of the killing intent.
"Leon!" He yelled, looking to the side as he suddenly noticed that Leon's body was laid out on the floor, completely unconscious. Alten looked to be no different.
'Argh! Scan!'

┗━━━━━━━━━┛
Lyrian was shocked as he read these stats, '115 strength!?' However, before he could dwell on what to do any longer, the creature began to move at extreme speeds toward him.
Although his very bone's felt like wobbling down to the ground, he gritted his teeth and stood up before beginning to dash away and create some space between himself and the Poison Spider.
However, because of the dense killing aura, his speed heavily declined. The tarantula was quickly catching up to him, its steps loud and powerful.
"You're small limbs are your weak points right? Alten said so." He yelled as he ran, trying to think of a plan on the spot.
'I can't go in to attack, even with this new sword, since It's too fast for me. I can't even run for long, it's going to catch up any second!'
At that moment, the tarantula suddenly opened its giant, fanged mouth and spit out a large amount of venom directly toward Lyrian. Seeing the droplet the size of a horse come at him at extremely quick speeds, he jumped up and ricocheted off the wall, avoiding the poison that landed on the ground.
As it landed, the stone underneath quickly melted as though it was cotton candy, 'What do I do? There isn't any possible way I ca--' As he was thinking to himself, another splat of poison suddenly appeared in his vision in front of him.
Thinking quickly on his feet, he immediately stopped and jumped backward to narrowly avoid being melted to sludge, only to get close to the spider.
Now, he was right underneath its fangs. Without any pause, the spider held down Lyrian's hand with one of its legs, immobilizing him before storming its fangs downwards to crush him. At this moment Lyrian's heart was beating out of his chest, his adrenaline pumping as his mind raced at a million miles per second.
Even in this situation, he wasn't giving up, still trying to think of a way to win. 'There has to be a way!' He yelled in his mind as the fanged neared mere feet from his face.
'A way...'
The burning venom of the fangs dripped down, now only inches from making contact with this head.
'Damnit! I won't die like this!' He abruptly yelled inside as he closed his eyes.
At that moment time felt as though it had slowed down. Memories of his parents, of his promises, of even Alten and Leon, who were going to die if he were to fall here, all these memories assaulted him at once.
His extreme ambition, no matter how strong, seemed to be wavering in the face of defeat here, where sheer, overwhelming power clashed with him!
As the venom came centimeters from his face, destined to melt through his skull, an enormous figure suddenly summoned from his body and emerged below the Poison Tarantula, blocking Lyrian from the poison as it pushed the spider back, slamming it into the wall.
*ROOAAR*
Garmr let out a monstrous roar fueled by his rage that boomed throughout the entire cavern like thunder from the heavens. It was enough to rattle bones and vibrate the ground.
Lyrian suddenly opened his eyes to see Garmr's giant body in front of him, now the same size as the Poison Tarantula's, 'Garmr!' He thought to himself, noticing the rage that the wolf was currently feeling.
"GO!" Lyrian yelled, quickly picking himself back up to his feet as Garmr dug his feet into the ground before propelling himself forward toward the spider.
With one lunge, it was close enough to lash at the tarantula's legs, tearing one of them off with ease as purple blood splurted all over the room. The spider quickly jumped back up to its feet before Garmr could do any more damage, spitting a giant ball of poison toward him.
However, Garmr dodged the poison as if it was nothing, ferociously lunging in before ripping another leg off of the creature.
Lyrian unsheathed his sword and ran up to the fight, jumping on Garmr's back he jumped up into the air.
The spider tried to gash Garmr with its fangs, only to miss due to Garmr's evasive body. Just then, Lyrian appeared above the spider, having jumped from Garmr's back.
"You're dead!" He shouted, holding the sword with both hands next to his face as he focused on what he learned from Brokkr.
He concentrated his Enhance energy into his hands, before throwing away all distractions from his mind and creating a flawless strike of the sword.
Swinging down from the air, he slashed his blade across the spider's abdomen as he landed, slicing straight through it with a flawless spin.
The side of the spider's abdomen was now cut wide open, as Garmr dashed from side to side, viciously tearing off each and every limb from the creature before it had the opportunity to attack.
Lyrian too did not hesitate, using the extent of his energy to unleash a barrage of unending slashes towards the creature with his fine blade, each of them gashing the spider deeply as it was unable to deal with the rapid attacks.
Finally, Garmr dashed toward Lyrian after getting a mental command, and Lyrian jumped up on his back once again before leaping at the spider's face.
With another precisely created strike, Lyrian slashed straight through the Poison Tarantula's head, flawlessly severing it instantly.
