Meanwhile—
Ataneya had already charged straight at a hulking creature that looked like a giant spider.
This thing was swinging its massive claws wildly, tearing through the Emerald Castle's forces like paper.
It wasn't particularly powerful—its Tier wasn't even that high—but the energy radiating from it was twisted and deadly. Just a trace of the toxins it released could burn a person alive from the inside out.
But Ataneya didn't give a damn.
She conjured a thick protective barrier around herself and dove straight into the creature's gaping mouth.
"Die, you freak!"
"ROAR!"
The spider-beast clearly hadn't expected anyone to fight it like this. Before it could even react, Ataneya was already inside its belly.
"Get the hell out here!"
Inside its gut was a grotesque, cavernous space—littered with half-digested corpses and reeking of death.
Disgusting.
