Xavier grinned. This trick might have worked on someone else but not him.
"Break for me."
The elf shouted and dashed forward, while simultaneously retrieving a ruby gem from his space ring.
The gem sparkled in the darkness of the tunnel and emitted a blinding radiance.
Xavier then unexpectedly crushed the gem resulting in a loud explosive noise.
The next instant a huge ice wall erupted between him and the spider.
Not just the barrier, but the entire section of the tunnel where they were standing turned into a frozen tundra.
The cave's floor, roof, walls were all covered by a thick sheet of freezing solid ice.
The spider which was spinning around like a maniac was now forced to stop and stumble as it supported itself on the ice layer.
It only slowed it down momentarily as the sharp heavy metallic claws pierced into the solid ice and held its ground.
But this split-second was more than enough for Xavier.
