Struggle

"Kh… How can the gap be this big?" Jay gritted his teeth. Even though he was only a Tier 2, his strength was on par with a Tier 4. Ragna was also already a Tier 3. With the help of his technique, he could be considered equal to a Tier 4 as well. 

Yet both of them failed to stop the spider's attack. 

"Ragna. Are you alright?!" Jay asked out loud while his eyes remained on the spider. 

Before he could get an answer, the Tier 5 spider actually turned around as if it were planning to aim for the weaker ones. 

Jay used his beast soul to speed up, closing the gap between them in an instant. He channeled the momentum from his beast soul toward his hand and released it in one go, slashing the spider with everything he had. 

However, the Tier 5 spider swung its front leg. Their clash ended in an instant, as Jay was launched into the air and rolled a few times on the ground before coming to a stop.
