Chapter 95: The Black Widow’s Wrath
Meanwhile, Liora faced off against another Level 2.
It charged at her, its legs pounding the ground like thunder. She waited with a calm expression, and right before it reached her, she jumped high and flipped over its head.
Her mana sword sliced down across its helmet-like plate, sending sparks flying. It didn’t pierce, but she landed gracefully behind it, twisted her grip, and stabbed into the thinner part between its neck and back.
The spider shrieked and convulsed, but Liora didn’t stop. She yanked the blade out, flipped it, and rammed it into the eye.
Splat!
The spider’s body collapsed. Liora pulled her blade free and turned just in time to block another spider’s attack.

One by one, the spiders fell to the ground with a thud. Their twisted bodies collapsed across the broken floor of the hall. Severed limbs twitched on their own while black blood pooled and spread like oil.
The thick smell of poison and rot filled the air, sticking to their skin and burning their noses. Everyone was breathing heavily, their shoulders rising and falling with each strained gasp. It felt like the end was near. The swarm had grown thinner, and fewer spiders remained.
But just as a hint of hope began to flicker in their tired hearts, a strange, screeching sound echoed from the gate.
