The white spider, Hillove, was able to overwhelm the Rakshasas just by walking.

No matter how skilled the Rakshasa warriors were, whenever they approached Hillove, it would raise one of its eight legs higher than their heads and easily avoid their attacks. When the warriors charged at Hillove with their swords, aiming for Hillove’s legs, Hillove’s legs pierced their heads in an instant as soon as they looked up.

Of course, the Rakshasas knew they couldn’t deal with Hillove at melee range. They were capable of deadly ranged attacks, such as throwing rocks or using slings, using their superior physical abilities compared to other Sapiens. However, that wasn’t very useful, either. Hillove’s exoskeleton was much thicker than the scales of an average Pangolin, so it was difficult for ranged attacks to cause it damage.

Hillove disliked the fact that it was being attacked by mortals who were also unbelievers. It thus avoided their attacks by easily bending or stretching its legs as if it was dancing. And it would also silently hide in buildings, then suddenly appear from behind the enemies like a ghost and strike them.

Gordius, on...
