Kyle looked at the beast and took a deep breath.
In front of them was a humongous spider.
It was probably two kilometers wide, which was on the smaller side for Primal Beasts.
Two kilometers sounded quite big, but Kyle and Swamp Dragon could become even bigger than the spider if they wanted.
The spider had thin and spindly red legs, while the remainder of its body was white.
This fucking thing just screamed that it was venomous.
At this moment, the spider was completely ignoring them as it rested between a couple of the gigantic trees.
The three Transcendents were much weaker than it. There was nothing to be gained by eating them.
In general, beasts only consumed what they needed. They rarely went on pointless rampages.
On top of that, the positive Karmic Luck of the three Transcendents made them even less appealing.
Beasts only attacked people with positive Karmic Luck if they offered a good challenge and good rewards.
If Kyle still had his Minor Sin Aura, this spider would have immediately jumped him.
'I see why they chose this one,' Kyle thought. 'It's probably fast, but not as fast as the bird. Although with the additional level, it might be just as fast as the bird.'
'Its defense was stronger than the bird's defense, but not as strong as the mole's or the teleporting lizard's defense.'
'Based on its build, it's probably not the biggest fan of close-quarter combat. Most likely, it has a lot of ranged attacks, which are easier for Warp Space to deal with.'
'Lastly, it probably doesn't have an Earth or Metal Affinity, making its defenses organic.'
'It's just… I think I shouldn't get hit by its venom.'
'In a way, we counter it.'
'Also, it's safer to fight a beast than another team. After all, beasts rarely learn new shit during a battle, while other teams only enter battle when they are also about to comprehend something.'
Kyle shook his head and narrowed his eyes.
'Time to be serious.'
"Are you guys ready?" Kyle asked, looking at his teammates.
Warp Space and Swamp Dragon nodded wordlessly.
"Alright," Kyle said. "Then, let's make this fight fair."
Kyle stepped forward, and his body grew to a size of about 100 meters.
He was still much smaller than the spider, but he was no longer absolutely tiny.
Then, he looked at the spider with narrowed eyes as he slightly activated his Momentum.
The spider immediately rose from its resting position and looked at Kyle.
Kyle swung his hammer to his right, breaking a tree into pieces as he looked at the spider.
The message was clear.
At the same time, white mist came out of Kyle's body.
He had infused as many concepts of the Essence of Yin-Fire into his body as possible.
This improved his power quite a bit.
BANG!
Then, Kyle exploded forward, destroying his surroundings.
His speed shot through the roof as his Meteor Energy gathered around him.
The spider lifted two of its legs, and almost immediately, a stream of red silk shot towards Kyle.
As the silk shot towards Kyle, it passed through several trees.
The trees were cut into pieces, leaving behind smoking remains.
It was almost like the trees had been cut with a searing knife.
The space between the threads widened as Warp Space became active.
Kyle easily passed through the gaps and continued charging at the spider.
The spider suddenly moved to the side at incredible speed.
Unsurprisingly, it was faster than Kyle.
At that moment, a wall of toxin appeared in its way, and it charged right through.
Swamp Dragon's toxin covered the spider's body, and it started to sizzle.
But then, the surface of the spider's body detached from it.
Sizzling parts of its exoskeleton fell off its body like old scales.
The spider knew how toxins worked, and it immediately got rid of them.
It barely needed to use any Biological Energy to recover.
Yet, it still needed to use a bit of Biological Energy.
Biological Energy didn't recover as quickly as actual Energy.
A Beast Core and a Center were designed to recover as much Energy as possible. It was a concentration of Energy, which pulled in more Energy.
While Kyle kept charging after it, the spider jumped, and all its legs pointed at Swamp Dragon and Warp Space.
In its mind, the two ranged attackers were more dangerous.
As long as it didn't stop running, the human with the hammer wouldn't reach it.
Its eight legs released dense and humongous streams of toxic silk that flew at the two humans with surprising speed.
Warp Space's surroundings distorted as she summoned a huge amount of Energy.
The silk gathered into one dense spear as she intensified its gravity.
The spear missed them and hit the ground.
The silk spear just burrowed into the ground and continued flying for an unknown distance.
At that moment, Swamp Dragon released several arrows.
The arrows were quite fast, but the spider simply weaved through them.
Meanwhile, Kyle just kept chasing the spider hopelessly.
The spider shot more silk at the two ranged attackers, and Warp Space had more and more difficulties dealing with them.
Swamp Dragon kept shooting, but none of his arrows hit.
The spider had already recovered the Biological Energy it had used up earlier.
"Space!" Warp Space transmitted to Swamp Dragon and Kyle.
The next moment, Warp Space distorted the space around her and Swamp Dragon, and within an instant, they shot upward.
The spider saw the two shooting into space and jumped.
It flew towards them with incredible speed, keeping its legs ready.
At that moment, the space in front of Kyle distorted, and the spider started to move more slowly in his vision.
Warp Space had speed up his time while shrinking the space between him and the spider.
Since the spider relied on its legs to move at such speeds, it wouldn't have as much flexibility and speed in the air.
The air around Kyle froze as he shot towards the spider.
When the spider noticed Kyle, it moved its legs in his direction.
Then, its legs moved at incredible speed, and within an instant, a solid wall of toxic silk was between it and Kyle.
Kyle's eyes widened.
There were no gaps!
It was impossible to get through that!
Meanwhile, the spider's legs used the solid wall as a foothold.
BANG!
It jumped towards the other two humans, while the wall shot right towards Kyle.
