"What are we going to do?" William asked.
The situation didn't look favorable. But there was a way out.
"They don't like fire," Jhen said. "Can you use your magic?"
Among the three, William and Jhen had good mastery over black fire magic. Victoria was the one who needed to improve the most in that area.
Jhen wanted to focus on protecting Victoria, while also giving cover to William as he prepared his spells.
William didn't hesitate. He started channeling his black fireball. As soon as the spiders saw the fire, they began making strange noises, clearly scared of that magic.
The fireball also helped illuminate the place, allowing Jhen and Victoria to better see the creatures' movements. That made a huge difference.
He aimed at one of the spiders and launched the fireball. While the spell flew towards the creature, he was already channeling another one!
