The car skidded backward in time, revealing the massive spider head.
It seemed like she was a different kind of arachnid—split between a humanoid upper body and a massive spider abdomen with legs.
Nonetheless, the familiar black hair came into view as Beatrice appeared to shrink herself.
In the meantime, Rael decided to do a little inspecting.
—Beatrice, The Spider Monarch (Noble Class Boss) [Level 822] [166,218,880,000/216,218,880,000 HP] (Weakened! -50,000,000,000 HP)
She had an overwhelming amount of HP, and her stats were bound to be through the roof, likely a few hundred times his own.
However, Rael merely stared at her through the windshield and flashed her the middle finger.
"Sup Beatrice, I'm really enjoying that skill of yours. Any tips for this disciple?"
—Y-You! How dare you take that tone with me!
Her voice was thundering since she was still giant, but over time, she shrank down to roughly his height, and only then did her voice become normal.
"If I hadn't taken that stupid quest from the Beast, then I would've not gotten involved in this mess in the first place!" Beatrice complained, digging her spider legs into the ground.
Rael watched her meltdown. All the while, he knew his constructs should be approaching the monument any moment now.
But it seemed like she had noticed that too as she averted her gem-like blue eyes.
"Seems like there are a few rats lurking around, be right back—"
"I don't think so," Rael cut her off with a skill.
[MP -6,900,000 16,849,200/23,749,200 (x1 Acid Lash)]
-404,240,432! Critical Hit! (x1 Acid Lash)
"AAAH! How dare you hit me there!" Beatrice turned around with hatred in her eyes.
After all, she didn't exactly have balls, so Rael had to improvise.
Nonetheless, he rolled his window back down and flashed her a grin.
"You're pretty strong, but you know what? I can literally kill you from here," Rael said and took out his Violin Blade, then slightly opened the window and hit the black string.
He immediately continued with Acid infusion and added several fiery notes.
And of course, he added the % HP damage as a modifier as well.
[MP -1,135,000 15,714,200/23,749,200 (x1 Acid Infusion)]
Soon, the notes rang out and graciously flew out through his window before heading toward Beatrice who had been complaining since earlier.
-12,631,413,915! Critical True Note! (x3 [Acid-Infused] Crystal Violin Blade)
-631,570,695! (x1 Intermediate Flameforged Arts)
However, Rael furrowed his brows upon noticing one thing in particular.
My HP damage modifiers didn't apply—
"That kind of hurt..." Beatrice stated, wiping her bottom spider half with her humanoid hands. "But I think you're feeling a little too safe in there."
In the very next moment, she shot a web out of her... right at his windshield.
However, before it hit, the car's time reset.
Rael's brows furrowed at the message that popped up right after.
"Hahaha!" Beatrice laughed to her heart's content as she slowly began approaching him. "I'm not sure what kind of beings you've been fighting, but not all of us just stand still and let you kill us."
The moment she finished those words, she held up her hands, and with a wide smirk, snapped her fingers.
[HP -9,142,811! 35,969,589/45,112,400 (Sound)]
Blood began dripping down his ears, and with a frown, Rael closed the window and began speeding away.
At the same time, he activated a skill that would likely not do much, but it was better than nothing.
[MP -2,000,000 13,714,200/23,749,200 (x1 Prismatic Bastion)]
<+990,000 Barrier HP>
Despite having driven a couple hundred meters away from her, he could still hear the loud snap, and he could definitely see the damage that followed.
[HP -6,142,811! (990,000 Absorbed) 29,826,778/45,112,400 (Sound)]
"Seryn..." Rael muttered as he clasped his ear. "I've got a mission for you."
It seemed like Seryn wasn't holding up any better, as he had stained all the white backseats with his blood.
However, since Seryn was still holding eye contact with him, Rael continued. "Go to the monument, light it, and come back with the Ember. That's the only way we can end this."
It took a while for Seryn to react, but once he did, he simply nodded.
With that, Rael stopped the car and got out.
Of course, he left one final request to none other than Sweepus Prime.
"Sweepus, drive him there, the car should still hold. I'm kinda sad I can't see you drive personally... it's almost like missing your child's first steps."
Sweepus rolled its eyes and slammed the door in Rael's face.
Then, with a simple thumbs up and a wave, they headed toward the monument.
As for Rael, he glanced back to where the smiling Beatrice was.
"So you stayed? How foolish..." Beatrice muttered, slowly approaching him.
In the meantime, Rael decided to refill his mana.

However, that wasn't all, since if he really was planning on going all out, then he had to use every single trump card he had.
[MP -17,811,900 5,902,300/23,749,200 (x1 Radiant Transformation)]

Rael took a deep, shaky breath as he looked straight into Beatrice's blue eyes.
Nonetheless, he didn't let this situation get to him as his frown was soon replaced by a massive grin.
"I wonder...? If I pump your air full of ass, will you explode?"
Rael's brows twitched.
Fuck... I butchered it...
