Apollo swung his bokken at the air.
The way he saw it, the weaver would either charge at him or spit more acid.
There was no time to hesitate, so he simply hedged his bet arbitrarily.
Unfortunately, the spider did not charge him.
It spat acid.
His bokken passed right through the acid, splashing it over himself.
His skin sizzled and burned away, revealing his bright red flesh.
Apollo giggled.
"Off to a bad start..."
He smiled, but his lips were burnt off, giving him a sinister look.
His body slowly regenerated.
Apollo put away the two eagle berries. He twisted his head to look at the weaver with his blind spot.
The weaver seemed to be confident now that Apollo had been hit by the acid. It skittered forward disturbingly, its legs leaving afterimages in their wake.
Apollo's bokken flashed, sending a blade of wind to the weaver.
However, with incredible agility, the spider scurried to the side.
In the next moment, one of the spider's legs shot towards Apollo's heart.
