Hell Spiders were deemed as extinct and didn't harbor a curse but the 'Crimson-death' Hell Spider, as Jason called it, was much stronger with its curse because it distorted the enemy's senses.
This curse could even forcefully erupt anger and wrath within its opponents, preventing them to retain a calm mind.
However, now that the Crimson-death Hell Spider witnessed how some of its offsprings had been killed, the curse's full might had been unleashed.
At least that was how Jason's mana eyes perceived it and he couldn't help but feel that the fight between the Hell Spider and wind affinity songbird was about to become really ugly.
The songbird was already weakened through the distorted senses and erupting emotions from the curse earlier.
Now that the curse was fully unleashed, solely targeting it, the songbird's combat prowess decreased by a large margin within a moment.
It tried to fly at a higher altitude but that was too difficult to maintain which would force it to retreat several dozen meters.
Both sides wanted to continue their fight and it seemed like there had already existed a feud between these two, even if Jason was unable to tell if it was just how he felt or if this assumption was really accurate.
While the songbird manifested another few batches of wind blades, the Crimson-death Hell Spider enveloped the sac of eggs with several layers of its cobwebs before it charged forward to draw near the opponent it wanted to kill by any means.
It was not difficult to see that the songbird was weakened, yet it was still determined to defeat the Crimson-death Hell Spider which led it to come closer too.
Unfortunately, its distorted senses were the cause of this because the level-headed songbird would have never acted like this in normal circumstances.
The poisonous, sticky cobwebs were its nemesis and they couldn't hit the songbird properly as long as it maintained a certain distance.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShooting out the crescent wind blades it manifested a moment ago, they inflicted several shallow injuries to the Crimson-death Hell Spider that was out of control after its offsprings had died.
The Hell Spider sustained many external injuries while drawing closer, and the songbird's mind was completely out of control
Both had been weakened to a certain degree and Jason noticed that they distanced themselves by a few hundred meters which gave him the opportunity to act!
Jason was not a Saint but he hoped that helping the small group that was still alive might give him some benefits.
On the other side, he felt bad leaving them like this!
He was not familiar with the Mythic Garden too and others should know much more than he did.
As such it was not impossible to get to know more information from the small group if he was able to bring them away.
When the Crimson-death Hell Spider shot a huge net made out of its poisonous sticky threads towards the songbird before jumping into the sky to full suit, Jason took this opportunity to utilize Artemis manifested wings to dive towards the ground.
Averting his angle by a small margin he landed in the middle of the bloody battlefield where the unconscious group laid.
Only the young woman that looked at him previously was barely conscious but Jason would be astonished if she was able to see or sense anything at all because her face was paperwhite without a trace of color left.
Taking out a few potions he forcefully injected them into each member of the small group before he used the compressed black flame to cut the sticky, poisonous thread slowly.
After the thread was cut, Jason noticed a different problem.
The sticky threads stuck to their clothes!
He was unable to loosen them and burning the whole thread would definitely take too long.
As such Jason mumbled an apology before he took off the young men and women's outer layer of clothes.
The group that consisted of two young men and two women was quickly taken care of because it was not really difficult to take off their clothes.
Once that was done, Jason saw two spatial rings and one storage device nearby the group.
He overlooked the dead youths that laid immediately next to them and picked up the spatial rings and storage device, thinking that they might belong to the half-nacked group in front of him.
Putting them inside his pockets, Jason was now facing another issue.
'How can I carry four people at once?'
Jason thought about summoning Scorpio but he was too slow and Artemis could only carry two at once which would leave him two more to carry by himself.
His speed was already slower than Artemis' and he wanted to have her inside his mana core to evade possible incoming attacks while carrying the others.
With that in mind, Jason decided to test something out as he told Artemis that she should focus on manifesting her talons where his feet were.
He did the same and a moment later, Jason felt that his feet enlarged as pain spread through them.
His boots burst open, revealing talons where his feet were previously which caused him to smile oddly.
'I never imagined that I would have to do that… it feels weirder than manifesting wings on my back, a stinger at my coccyx or Scorpio's exoskeleton.'
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJason assumed that it was like that because he never transformed something about his own body to 'exchange' it with one of his soul bond's body parts.
It was interesting, a new sensation and slightly uncomfortable but there was something else he had to take care of for now.
He was not sure how long the Crimson-death Hell Spider would be away!
Thus Jason picked up the two women to carry them under his arms while he used his talons to grab the two young men's pants.
Under normal circumstances, it wouldn't matter whom he carried with what but the two girls wore a one-piece leather armor which made it extremely difficult for Jason to find a spot to grasp with his talons after he had taken off their leather armor.
Fortunately, the two men wore different clothes which allowed Jason to take off their leather armor while still being able to grasp somewhere without injuring them further.
Thus, Jason was able to carry one person with each limb as he flew off to look out for a place to tend the small group's wounds.
Jason utilized his mana eyes to their full extent, searching for a tranquil place without any strong beasts in the surrounding.
Only ten minutes later Jason landed on a thick branch off a large tree where he put down the four poisoned young prodigies.
Searching for a good resting spot was easier than he thought but that was most likely because the massacre in the forest's center killed larger groups of Unblemished beasts in the surrounding area.
Nevertheless, Jason wanted to distance himself from the forest's center as far as possible before landing.
Taking a deep breath after he laid down everyone on the tree branch that was more than two meters thick, Jason dissipated Artemis' talons while he decided to retract her wings to press them on his shoulder blades, thinking that he might need them soon.
Before anything else, he took out a few clothes from his spatial ring which he laid on top of the young women because they were the most likely to scream after waking up.
He would also feel weird if he were to be in their situation.
Half naked with a masked man that had white wings, standing in front of them! What a nice way to traumatize other people.
Sighing deeply, he noticed that the young woman from before was still conscious which astonish him a little bit as he heard a faint
"Thank you…"
