My Demon Pet System

Without immediately realizing what had happened, Enatsu looked at Yoichi for a moment. The young tamer traced that strange web with his eyes, noting that the \'rope\' came from the only corner of the room that Nobu\'s light could not reach.

In less than two seconds, before he or Shioko could intervene, Enatsu\'s body was lifted from the ground. "Aaaaaargh!" the merchant frantically screamed as his feet came off the layer of mud, and his hands tried unsuccessfully to break the web. ​​

Without giving the warriors time to think, the hidden demon dragged Enatsu into the darkness, making him fly as if he were a featherweight. "Enatsu!" Yoichi gasped, immediately activating Kenji\'s power.

Black scales began to pop up on his arms, and he started to dash towards the dark corner. At the same time, Shioko pulled a light arrow out of the quiver and fired it in that direction.

The arrow flew a few inches from Yoichi\'s head, travelling like a rocket and cutting through the darkness.

*splat*

"Eeeerrkk!" – a loud scratched cry rumbled into the room. The light of the arrow preceded that of Nobu, who immediately directed its power to the hidden corner.

Many small green eyes took shape. All of them pointed towards the three travellers. Three big spider demons were huddled in that dirty, filthy corner, trampling a pile of rotting corpses with their long pointed legs.

Shioko\'s arrow had just hit a Dokumotsu on its leg, severed it, and caused acute pain. The demon had dragged Enatsu\'s body toward the same corner, wrapping him in its thick web.

When its leg was hit, greenish blood was sprayed in every direction, ending up on the young merchant\'s face. "Aaargh! Help, help!" he screamed, wriggling and trying to hit the spider with kicks and punches.

Like those of a large tarantula, eight hairy legs supported the central part of the body, smaller and lighter. Behind it, the spider demon\'s body ended in a swollen, pointed bump, similar to that of a black widow.

Above that kind of arachnid tail, irregular red spots, different for each spider, adorned its body. The small head, equipped with two lines of four eyes each, was equipped with large jaws, with two rows of sharp teeth and tiny arms that had the task of dragging prey of all sizes inside the mouth.

Despite moving at high speed to the rescue of his trapped friend, Yoichi was horrified by that vision. Since he first opened his eyes in Lumya\'s world, he had never seen anything so disgusting and nauseating.

While the thick spider web that had wrapped Enatsu held him still, the other two spiders, smaller than the first, had quickly blocked his upper limbs, carefully trapping them with cobwebs of the same type.

After the scales covered the backs of Yoichi\'s large hands, long draconic claws popped up from the top of his fingers. Taking courage, the young tamer came to his friend\'s rescue, dashing in the direction of the bigger spider and loading a heavy fist.

Using her ranged attacks as a diversion, Shioko loaded a second light arrow on the bow. Thanks to Nobu\'s light, closing one eye and holding her breath, the archer aimed to the head.

Showing impressive alertness, the spider shifted its head sideways. The arrow missed the target and lodged in the wall, extinguishing its light between the rock fractures.

Taking advantage of the Dokumotsu\'s moment of distraction, Yoichi unleashed the energy accumulated in the mighty fist right at the centre of its body. At the same time, the two smaller spiders behind the biggest one jumped upwards, using a cobweb to climb along the vertical wall.

The Dokumotsu who had trapped Enatsu was struck right at the most fragile point of its body, namely the junction point of its eight legs.

*boom* - The young tamer\'s clean shot threw the spider against the back corner, forcing it to let go of his merchant friend. The demon\'s head slammed on the wall, staining it with an explosion of green blood.

Soon after the violent blow, its body fell back to the ground, lifeless. The spider\'s head dangled for a few moments, letting rivers of sticky blood flow onto the floor.

"Enatsu! Brother!" Yoichi gulped, grabbing Enatsu\'s arm and helping him get off the ground. Yoichi grabbed the cobweb with his big hands that held his arms tied: many thin filaments had joined in one thick cable. It was incredibly durable, like a steel wire.

Trying to break it with all his strength, Yoichi realized that he could not stand still in that position: the other two spiders were right above their heads, ready to swoop on him and trap him as they had done with his friend.

Without wasting any more time, the young tamer dragged his companion by grabbing the cobweb on his arms, forcing him to move away from that corner on his legs. Shioko covered them from a distance, shooting arrows in quick succession.

Moving between cocoons and carefully constructed cobwebs from one side of the room to the other, the two Dokumotsus managed to avoid her every attack, climbing nimbly from side to side.

Nobu was forced to get out of the enemys\' range, which, using their long legs, could hit it at any moment.

Yoichi finally succeeded to tear off the web that had imprisoned his friend, finding it between his hands. "Fuck this! That was close, brother!" Enatsu boomed, thanking him with a glance.

"You killed that Dokumotsu with one shot, but you make a big risk! These demons have very low defense, but we have to be very careful about their poisonous skill! Even a single drop could cause long-term damage... you must avoid close combat!" he added, specifically referring to Yoichi.

"What is the weakness of poison-type demons?" Yoichi asked, without looking away from the two spiders stationary on the cocoon wall.

Enatsu took a deep breath, taking a step forward and positioning himself in front of his friend. The gaze of the merchant tamer framed Rokuro, standing in the mud a few meters far from him.

"Earth-type demons. Earth-type demons are their greatest weakness."
