Single Spell Sorcerer-Chapter 50: The Spiderlings

There were three things about the Spider Queen’s final phase that were important to remember.

Firstly, it undid all restrictions placed upon her, which included Jax’s poison threads. So if he wanted to use his poison threads to kill it again, he would have to place them on it again.

However, considering it was at the top of the giant tree, that would be quite difficult. free𝑤ebnovel.com

Secondly, it would release all of its remaining spiderlings to fight its enemies while it stayed in the trees. There were between 15 to 20 spiderlings each time it appeared, and depending on how long the previous phases took, one wouldn’t have to fight that many.

Jax, however, had forced it to go through its second phase quite quickly, and as a result, he still had 13 spiderlings to go through.

The last thing Jax needed to remember was to dodge any poison attacks that came from the sky. Since the Spider Queen wasn’t going to come down, it would instead start dripping venom onto its enemy.

Considering all of that, Jax pulled out a healing potion and drank it. As the healing energy went through his body, his wounds on his back began to itch as they healed. The aching stopped.

’12 opal stones, gone just like that,’ Jax thought. It was worth it, though, since it would likely save his life.

Jax took a deep breath and grinned as the spiderlings came crawling toward him. He was ready for them all.

He rushed toward the one at the front and swung at its face as it came biting. His axe split its head open in one hit, killing it. He turned to the second one and used his spell to bind it.

Jax stepped back as the third one came biting and swung down again, cutting off two of its legs. He bound it too and stepped over it to jump toward another one, cleaving through its back.

Two spiderlings came chomping at him, forcing Jax to drop the axe for that moment. As he moved back, he reached into the Inventory and pulled out a knife and a dagger.

He reached for the spider with its legs cut and jammed his dagger into its forehead, killing it. He bound another spider that came for him and kicked it in its jaw, sending it flying backward.

Jax dashed to the left as another spider came for him and jumped to the first spiderling he had bound, killing it with his dagger.

’Four dead, one bound, eight more to go.’

Jax needed to get back to his axe. It was still on the back of the second one he had bound, but the spiderlings ran toward him with no fear at all, despite their dead siblings.

Jax readied his dagger and knife, prepared to attack again, when something landed on him from above. A splash of gooey fluid covered his back and immediately seared his skin in pain.

"Aargh!" Jax cried out loud in pain.

He immediately fell to the ground, rolling to get rid of whatever had gotten onto him. When he got up, he saw a strange purple liquid seeping into the web-covered ground.

’Shit!’ he thought with clarity despite the pain and looked up at the Spider Queen, which hung upside down on the webs, spitting venom down at him. ’I was supposed to remember this.’

His flesh on his back burned, and even as he tried to ignore it, the spiderlings came for him, trying to bite. Their poison would be quite strong too, so he couldn’t let them sink their fangs into him.

Jax raised his foot to grab the head of the first spiderling that lunged at him, stopping it from biting. He threw it above and behind him at the other one that came toward him, at the same time getting back on his feet.

His back hurt, but that only made him angrier and more willing to fight.

As the spiderlings advanced, Jax quickly used his spells on the two closest spiders and jumped upon them. He landed on one of their bodies and leaped above the remaining spider, landing next to his axe.

He grabbed his axe and yanked it out of the back of the dead spiderling. Then he placed his dagger and knife into the Inventory, getting ready to fight with the axe again.

Jax weaved through the spiderlings, killing them. This time, he had no intention of letting go of his axe, so he used his spell and killed them with relative ease.

Once he cracked open the skull of the bound spider to the side, he had finally killed all of the spiderlings that had come from the Spider Queen.

He looked up just in time and dodged as the purple liquid came from the Spider Queen’s fangs.

His back still burned from the venom, but because it hadn’t been injected directly into his body, it wasn’t affecting him too badly. The spiderlings’ venom was much harsher compared to this.

Jax stared at the Spider Queen in the sky, wondering what he was going to have to do next. In her final phase, she never came down at all. He had, of course, known about that, which was why he had brought a bunch of arrows to kill her.

Jax brought out the bow he had looted from an archer he had killed in the other forest and nocked an arrow onto it. He wrapped the entire arrow with poison thread and shot it upward.

The arrow flew straight up, going nearly a hundred feet high where the Spider Queen was. The arrow struck her back and lodged there. However, it seemed to barely pierce her skin at all.

Jax frowned. ’This won’t do. I need to wound it more.’

He brought out more arrows and wrapped them in poison threads as well, but like the first one, they all barely broke through the skin, barely damaging the spider at all.

Some arrows didn’t even hit the spider and instead lodged onto the web at the side.

Jax worried at that moment. This wasn’t working at all.
