As Lucas watched the Queen Spider charge toward him, his soul nearly left his body.
"Protect me!" he shouted.
The moment the words left his mouth, a sharp pain stabbed through his chest.
His vision swam.
He staggered sideways, barely keeping himself upright.
He knew exactly what it meant.
His Innate Karma was almost depleted, but that also meant his skill had worked.
The Burrowing Spider stepped forward, looking like it was ready for war.
The Queen Spider crashed into it a moment later.
BOOM!
The impact shook the cavern.
Despite the Queen's larger size, the Burrowing Spider held its ground, locking both arms against hers.
The Queen immediately let out an enraged screech.
She drove her forehead into the monster's face.
CRACK!
The Burrowing Spider folded backward and smashed into the cavern wall.
Stone exploded around it.
But before the dust could settle, it surged back to its feet.
Its fist slammed into the Queen's jaw.
The punch forced her several steps backward.
