'SHIT!'
The web came at him before he had time to step back.
It shot out fast enough to make the air hiss, and Neo threw himself sideways without thinking, dirt and leaves grinding against his shoulder as he rolled out of the way. The web struck the ground where he had been standing a heartbeat earlier and spread across the stone in a sticky white mass.
He pushed himself up at once.
The spider was already dropping from the ceiling. Its body came down in a blur of black and brown, legs unfolding around it in a shape that made his skin crawl the instant he registered it. Hair covered the thin, lengthy legs. Its abdomen was swollen and heavy, and its mouth opened wider than it had any right to, wet and dark and wrong in a way that felt worse because of the size.
It was as large as he was.
Neo felt the chill of it in his spine and hated the thing on sight.
He called on Beast Strength.
