Behind the rubbles twenty meters from the giant Spider, Erix observed a few things before saying, "I'll go first and distract it, so the moment it comes to attack me, you have to rush and impair it by destroying its legs."
"Isabella, you can act according to the situation. If I get into trouble with the Spider's initial attacks, you can use the Frost Shield to help me. But if all goes well, you can join Rin in attacking it."
Rin and Isabella nodded as they took out their weapons.
Rin took out her two weapons, Oni-Taijin Katana and Buther's Festive Sword, ready and raring.
Isabella took out her wand and took a breath as she was also ready.
"Stay sharp," Erix said before he kissed Rin to activate Ignis Ad Intimacy, increasing their overall damage by 30%!
Afterward, he picked up a two-meter-long and wide concrete piece of a nearby destroyed structure with his Metacyber Arm and controlled a metal board with his Metal Control skill before flying up and moving towards the Spider at full speed.
He also held his breath to use his Muscle Enchant talent, increasing his Strength by one each second.
On the other hand, the Spider instantly noticed Erix and released a shrill cry, spitting out a dark green venom ball towards Erix before it also rushed forward.
Erix quickly threw the concrete piece towards the incoming Venom Ball as it managed to nullify it, but the Venom Ball was so powerful that the piece of concrete got entirely corroded!
'Nether Grasp!'
Erix quickly used his skill through Metacyber Arm while throwing his controlled metal board toward the Spider.
The Nether Grasp appeared behind the Spider and grabbed its two rear legs to immobile it, causing the metal board to hit its head but dealing no damage.
However, he didn't use it to damage it in the first place.
The metal board and Nether Grasp successfully distracted the Spider, giving a chance to Rin and Isabella as they commenced their moves!
*Swoosh!*
Paired with her insane 175 Agility was a Lightning Charge on her legs and a single Thunder Blitz as she crossed ten meters distance in a jiffy and appeared at the Spider's left side before sweeping both of her swords at a blinding speed using Sword Beam!
*Shaaa!*
-540!
-478!
In just a second, all eight of its legs were cut off!
Isabella also used her Wind Dash to arrive there before using Flame Whips. But instead of attacking it, she wrapped her whips around the Spider to keep it from moving.
-112! Flame Whip!
-48! Burn.
'Perfect,' Erix grinned as the plan worked out perfectly, and without hesitation, he flew to the Spider's right side before both his fist and Metacyber Arm's fist glowed with Imposing Fist skill as he consumed 80 mana at once!
Moreover, the Punch Force passive increased his punch-type damage by 50%!
*Boom!*
-639! Erix's Imposing Fist.
-328! Metacyber Arm's Imposing Fist.
Right after that, Erix used Nether Grasp and covered the Spider's head, blinding and applying pressure!
Isabella also wasted no time using Frost Shield and slapped it on the Spider, further suppressing it!
Losing its legs and being suppressed by the Frost Shield and Flame Whip, the Spider couldn't move or see anything due to Nether Grasp grasping its head and applying pressure.
Meanwhile, Rin has been attacking non-stop with her swords since the start!
Their combined efforts rapidly shaved away the Spider's vitality!
In just five seconds, its vitality dropped to zero while it couldn't do anything!
[You have killed a level 57 mutated creature, Nasty Fangs Spider. +3 Mortal-Order skill stones into each party member's inventory]
Erix reached 50.
Rin reached level 50.
Isabella reached level 44.
[Complete Rank-up Quest to continue to level up and ascend to Supra-Order rank.]
Both Erix and Rin got the notification about the rank-up quest when they reached level 50.
"It finished easier and quicker than I thought," Isabella said with slight disbelief.
"Yep. It really couldn't do anything after our suppression. I guess we were a bit paranoid because of our first encounter with a powerful monster, that Helix Flower," Rin said with a wry smile.
Helix Flower killed several people and even cut off Erix's leg, so that experience was truly hellish for them. One mistake and anyone could die in that fight.
Of course, an important factor was that they were much stronger in this fight, both stat and skill-wise.
All three of their Agility was maxed, so their combat efficiency and instant decision-making drastically increased.
Still, due to that encounter with Helix Flower, Erix and others never held back and gave their all in every fight, especially against giant higher leveled monsters.
"Anyway, it's better to be careful in every fight to avoid injuries and casualties," Erix said while observing his surroundings using his Aura Vision.
On the other hand, the Spider's body faintly shone before it dispersed into motes and left behind a Treasure Crate.
"Sister Bella, you should open this," Rin grinned. "Your luck is better."
"Don't blame me if we get bad things."
Isabella teasingly smiled before she rubbed her palms and touched the Treasure Crate. A second later, It opened and spewed out several things.
[ 1x Black Fang Ranger Set. ]
[ 1x Supra-Order skill stone. ]
[ 1x Dark Venom Knife. ]
[ 1x Magic Fruit: Black Grape. ]
[ 1x Vemon Ball skill scroll. ]
"A set!" Erix's eyes shone as he touched the orb containing the set.
The set was black colored with a few dark green and dark brown patterns to make it look ominous.
[ Black Fang Ranger Set ]

"Finally, a man's armor set," Erix delightedly chuckled as he touched the set to equip it, causing it to appear over his body while his Black Star robe went into his inventory.
"Take this skill stone too. Hold on to it until one of us meets the requirement to upgrade the skill," Rin said before she picked up the knife to check its information.

"Eh?" Rin raised her eyebrows in surprise. "This is our first Epic grade item, right?"
"Indeed. But it doesn't feel Epic to me," Erix said before his gaze moved to magic fruit as he picked up the bottle-cap-sized black grape.
"Let's see what this tiny grape can do."
