Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis looked at the indecisive spider and frowned. He didn't want it to remain standing there. If it came, he would show it a good time, and if it retreated, he could finally temper his bones. Yet, it just continued standing there.

Gravis took his saber and started cutting off a big rock from the cliff. The spider continued watching him, not sure what Gravis was doing. Gravis quickly cut off a big chunk, and before it could fall, he grabbed it with both of his hands and lifted it up. This stone weighed several hundred kilograms, but he could lift that easily with his body.

He lifted the rock above his head, changed the hold, so he held it only with one hand, reared back, and threw it like a ball at the spider. Even though the spider seemed to look at him, its eyes were not that good. It was feeling Gravis' vibrations on the ground, and it heard his breathing and movement. So, of course…

BANG!

The stone hit the middle of its head, and it screeched. Its carapace didn't crack, but the impact shook its brain. It staggered to the side and shook its head, trying to get its bearings.

BANG!

In the time where the spider was still shaking its head, Gravis had cut off another rock. This time, it hit two of the spider's knees. The spider's legs were curled up, and its 'knees' were actually higher than its body, so it was pretty hard to hit its body from the side.
