Within the smoke, Lilina saw another girl lunge forward from above to strike the spider- she recognized the taller, yet same aged girl to be that Liv Firelight, the electricity girl, and nodded slightly. Any help was welcome; Lily really doubted that this monster would be an easy fight, and any chance of getting out unscathed was probably only a fool's hope at this point. She didn't hear anything after seeing Liv's attack, so she knew the spider was still alive. Mentally preparing herself for the dizzy feeling of shooting herself, she flung into the air, and brandishing the front half of her spear, the second half sort of dangling behind her, Lilina knew she had to continue the offensive as best as she could.
She sensed it before it happened, a long hairy appendage from the beast reached out and swatted the electricity as if she was nothing more than a bothersome fly. Lilina cursed mentally; seems like the only way to be safe was to have almost impossible speed, no one else could really dodge split second blows so easily except her. Why was this mana-eater so strong, Lilina wondered as she slammed her spear into the hard surface of its skin, trying to dig it in, and then flinging herself back to a safe range before the monster could counterattack her. The others shes fought over the years in Xexion weren't this strong, and to be honest, the somewhat proud girl was feeling discouraged. Was she, perhaps, not as strong as she thought she was?
She shook her head vehemently, unleashing more spurts of closing in with vicious stabs, and well-timed retreats. She was strong, otherwise she wouldn't have been such an asset to the defense of Xexion, the casualties stay at an absolute minimum by slingshotting any of the injured citizens out, and with a combination of speed and spear, helping to slay the mana-eaters as they came. But a beast such as this, Lily struggled to think of anything back at Xexion that could handle it, except maybe the Mana of Iron.
Eventually though, the beast would drive and corner live in an alley way, making for no easy escape routes, with Lily making an angry curse as she pondered Liv's stupidity. The spider, with its menacingly clicking mandibles, descended upon Liv, and Lily wondered briefly if she should even bother to help. More allies the better, she supposed, although it didn't particularly matter to her if Liv died or not. The spider looked as if it was set in killing the electric girl, anyways, but still, Lily used quick speed bursts to try and catch up. Just in case Liv could be useful later on. Before she made her plan to attack, though, a strange man came first, somehow, and attacked the spider, saving Liv's life. Now that that was settled, Lily continued her barrage of stabs and strikes.
But nothing seemed to be working, and the spider charged again, at the trio and Lily noticed a look of annoyance on the girl, Liv.
"You there! Run before its too late!" The stranger shouted back at her, and Lilina rolled her eyes inwardly, before smiling sweetly at him, with somewhat of an innocent flutter.
Liv herself dashed forward with the sword in a double-handed grip, seemingly noticing something. At the same time, Lily saw how thin and trail the legs were, and how getting rid of them would be crippling. If her instinct was correct, she and Liv came to the same conclusion at the same time. With a smirk and a cute nod, Lilina twirled her spear to aim forward, and shot herself like a bullet at one of the back legs, digging the sharp blade in as far as she could; with intense momentum, it seemed as if only invincible armor could withstand her attack.
She zoomed to a safe distance before using another speed burst to strike again at the same leg. There was no way it could easily take a hit like that, and Lily sent herself back a little, directly behind Liv as she saw another leg swoop out, this time faster than before. Liv didn't have enough time to dodge it, Lily thought, and quickly used her Mana to send Liv flying backwards, farther into the alley.
"Be more careful, okay?" Lily looked back at the fallen electricity girl, as she dealt with, presumably, the dizziness most people got when being used as a bullet. "I don't" - dodging another blow with her speed - "you to get hit again!"
Lily then unleashed another torrent of bombs, at blinding speed, and chunks of the buildings crumbled and fell around the blast radius. Moving quickly, Lily sent herself behind each chunk, and catapulted each huge cement block towards the spider, hoping the weight and speed would crush at least half of the legs before she was done.
