When Lolth was concentrated solely on Allan, Shade and Arafunn finally attacked, finding the ideal opportunity to strike her with everything they had as she lowered her guard to any external attack aside from Allan's.
Appearing from her left and right side and piercing through her barriers and armor, Shade and Arafunn on their monstrous and majestic Soul Spirit Fusion appearances, attacked with everything they had.
"[Abyssal Demonic Soul Slash]!"
"[Celestial Heaven's Tempest]!"
Unleashing improved, evolved versions of their strongest techniques and spells, a slash of all consuming darkness and demonic power and a tempest of divine winds and celestial spiritual energy descended over the distracted Lolth!
BOOOOOOMMMM!!!
The combined blow wasn't something she could even fend off! Her barriers shattered, her armor broke, her wounds spread further, and she was incapable of healing completely yet. Thanks to the heroes powerful concentrated elements through their current forms, wounds were infected by their elements, and were made harder to recover.
"Urgh...! RATS!"
Lolth screamed in agony as she quickly moved her gigantic body around, unleashing a barrage of slashing claw attacks against Arafunn and pushing him away, while a dozen black holes emerged and attacked Shade, all while her spear kept intercepting and trying to pierce through Allan's body.
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Despite the damage she took, her huge body, many arms, and her incredibly sharp senses made her an amazingly powerful foe that all three heroes had to fight against at the same time.
If they had with them the rest of the Hero Party, including their main healer, buffer, and barrier master, Faylen, things would be much different, but in this case, it was just the three of them against Lolth.
Although in normal circumstances they would have a greater chance... With the Aura that Lolth exuded, that was out of the question. Their attacks were slowly becoming slower.
As Shade destroyed the black voids sent at him and unleashed a barrage of soul-consuming slashes, his body became slower. As Arafunn released as many tempestuous winds as he could, his body felt heavier. And as Allan continued clashing against her, trying to find a spot to strike and deal fatal damage, his life and soul were being rapidly consumed.
"You're getting slower!" Lolth laughed. "What's wrong?! Need a hand?!"
Her enormous fists landed over Arafunn's wind-made body, as he quickly dispersed himself, evading the strikes, only for a rain of dark meteors to fall over his body the moment he reconstructed himself into a physical form!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"Uuuaarrgh...!"
His songs were barely helping the other two with its buffing effects, but the Aura Lolth exuded was too powerful, and he simply couldn't weaken it, no matter how hard he tried.
"ARAFUNN!"
Allan screamed, his mind suddenly flashing with the memories of his comrades dying in the past, one after another, gruesomely.
"Do you still have the time to think about other's lives, when yours is soon to perish?!"
Lolth instantly stepped forward, the Evil Goddess summoned countless divine threads and wrapped them around his Divine Sword, pushing the weakened and slower Allan down, the flames of the sword barely able to burn her threads a little.
"You're all pathetic ANT at the end! You will never be able to fight a mighty god! No matter how hard you try, no matter how strong you'll grow! Slaves will always be SLAVES!"
Her huge legs started falling over Allan, like countless metallic spears, piercing Allan's soul and body and leaving countless holes within!
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!
"Gruuuuaaaarrgghh...!"
A scream of agony echoed across the barren landscape, as the desperate aura of Shade surged from behind Lolth, his shadows wrapping around her body, and stopping her movements!
"Even if we were born as slaves, we are more than THAT!"
Shade quickly tried to pierce her armor and reach her soul, to infect it with curses, only for Lolth to smile, her entire body suddenly exuding a bright red light!
"Yeah, I guess you're more than just slaves, you're trash. [Demonic Light]!"
FLAAAAAASSSSH!
"Aaaaaarrghh!"
Shade felt the light pierce through his entire body, dissipating large chunks of his own mass and shattering his soul piece by piece. Lolth immediately swung her spear, piercing his body with it and then kicking Allan away while blasting him with a huge black hole.
CRAAAAASH!
BOOOOOMM!!!
Both heroes were thrown away, falling over the landscape, their elemental bodies, much like that of Arafunn, were slowly dissipating into nothingness...
"A-Argh..." Allan muttered. "N-No...!"
"Is this all... we can do?!" Shade cried. "F-Fuck!"
"At least... the children got away..." Arafunn sighed in relief. "It wouldn't be... so bad... to go with my friends..."noVE-Lb(1n
Already accepting their fate, the mighty heroes faced sure death, as Lolth glanced down at them from above, her spear beginning to spin, gathering Void Energy and Divine Power.
"You will die by my hands..." Lolth laughed. "And-"
Ding!

"I should had done this from the beginning..." Sylphy sighed. "But I really needed to catch a breath first."
TRUUUUUMMMM...!
"H-Huh?!"
Lolth was interrupted by the words of an insignificant ant, as her multiple eyes glanced at the origin of that voice, Sylphy smiled confidently back at her.
The girl's body exuded a powerful energy like she had never felt before. No, it was more like she had become a vacuum, the surrounding Aura around Lolth started flying towards her, as a black hole opened in the middle of her chest, absorbing her powerful Aura that made everything so difficult for the heroes and so advantageous for her!
Not only the surrounding atmosphere was being absorbed, but even Lolth's own aura, her spear started becoming weaker as a result.
"W-What...?! What's happening?!"
Ding!
[The effects of the [Demon Eater: ★★] Job Class have been activated and converged with the [Great Curse of the Devourer of the Abyss]!]
[The user can temporarily devour demonic energy and absorb it into their body, sealing it from the outside world.]
[The limit is based on how much Magic Stat the user possess.]
[Current Magic Stat: 20.250]
"My powers...! They're growing weaker?!" Lolth screamed in shock, the three heroes slowly started to feel slightly less pressured by her existence, yet they were too wounded to move.
"S-Sylphy..." Allan muttered, glancing at his daughter. "What... what are you doing? Escape... Please...!"
"You cannot fight her even with this!" Shade screamed.
"You reckless girl...!" Arafunn cried.
"Foo!"
"Fwah?"
"Ooh!"
Suddenly, as the heroes muttered those words, they realized that their huge bodies were surrounded by thousands of tiny, bright colored creatures.
They were Spirits of the World!
"Don't worry, she's not alone." Lara's voice echoed behind the heroes. "[Spirit Fusion]!"
FLAAAAASH!
Thousands of spirits fused into the heroes bodies, as Lolth could had never seen this coming!
