Chapter 115: Rampage in Lady Spay’s Fortress

In the first room of the spider demon fortress.

The front doors explode inward as the heroes burst inside.

“Intruders!” a spider demon shouts. “Prepare for battle!”

***

In the main room.

The distant sound of the doors being blown open echoes through the fortress.

Zeth smirks. “See? I told you.”

“That doesn’t mean anything,” Lady Spay replies calmly. “They still have to defeat everyone.”

***

The heroes move quickly through the fortress. None of the spiders stand a chance against Zaydra or Sasha in their current forms.

“Do you want to know why you don’t stand a chance?” Zeth says as they advance. “You may not know this, but I’m the son of the Light Goddess. Though I currently lack my divine powers.”

Lady Spay’s eyes widen. “What? Impossible.”

“It’s true,” Zeth continues. “As I said, I lack my divine powers, but my older sister doesn’t.”

Lady Spay’s expression shifts slightly. “What an unexpected turn of events. Time for a new plan.”

The heroes enter the main room, carrying the severed heads of the Secret Ops unit. Sasha sadistically smiles and tilts her head. “Do these belong to you?”

The heroes toss the heads onto the floor in front of Lady Spay.

“My Secret Ops unit!” Lady Spay shouts in shock.

“You’re next!” Sasha shouts, still sadistically smiling.

Sasha charges forward, but Lady Spay suddenly vanishes into the wall itself. Sasha slams to a halt, unable to follow.

“How?” Sasha demands, visibly upset.

“It’s part of her spider abilities,” Keith says. “She can do things like that.”

Zaydra turns to him. “How are you so knowledgeable about this?”

“I recently infiltrated this fortress because I wanted to kill Lady Spay,” Keith admits. “I failed because of that ability.”

“Then what?” Zaydra asks.

“I took a lot of damage getting out. Obviously, your divine powers far surpass what I can do.”

“We are going to put an end to this power struggle,” Zaydra says firmly.

“We’d better do it fast,” Zeth adds. “I’m starting to feel the effects of the carnivorous blood. I puked up blood a little bit ago.”

Zaydra’s eyes widen. “Damn it. I went to where the Kraysheen can be found, but it wasn’t there!”

Everyone, except Keith, stares at her in shock.

“What do you need the Kraysheen for?” Keith asks.

“Didn’t you just listen to what Zeth said?” Zaydra snaps. “He got carnivorous blood in him, and he will die without it!”

“I understand now,” Keith says with a sigh. “Chances are, the disappearance has to do with the power struggle. Either the centipedes or Commander Moss has it and is using it for something.”

“Explain,” Zaydra demands, her patience diminishing.

“Most likely it’s Commander Moss,” Keith replies. “He’s always looking for new ways to defeat the spiders and centipedes. If Kraysheen has interesting properties, he’ll use it. Moss is the side I personally support.”

“And you’re sure of this?”

“We can’t rule out the centipedes,” Keith admits.

Zaydra nods. “Alright. I will go search the centipedes. The rest of you meet with Commander Moss.”

Everyone nods in agreement.

“Before that, it needs to be mentioned that Spay bit me and turned me part-spider,” Zeth says. “I can’t attack any spiders.”

“Damn,” Keith mutters. “Then there are two options. Either we convince her to reverse it, which won’t happen, or we kill her, which should auto-reverse it.”

“Sounds like a plan,” Zeth says. “If we have no choice but to kill her, I leave that to you guys.”

“Now that we have a plan, it’s time to move out,” Zaydra says. “Keith, give me the directions to the centipedes’ lair.”

“Okay,” Keith replies with a nod.

The spiders were no match for the divine powers of Zaydra and Sasha. Is a major battle in the power struggle coming?
