The Skull Weaver struck first.
A web shot out like a spear.
Xiao Li twisted, barely dodging. The web slammed into the rock behind him,
cracking it instantly.
If that hits me directly, I'm done.
The system lit up again.
[God-Tier System Activated]
Temporary Skill Unlocked: Soul Perception (10 seconds)
The world changed.
Threads—thin, glowing lines—spread from the Skull Weaver's body into the walls, the ceiling… everywhere.
So that's it. It's controlling the dungeon itself.
Xiao Li ran.
Not away—toward it.
The Skull Weaver screeched, legs slamming down. The ground shook. Xiao Li slid under one strike, grabbed a fallen spear, and stabbed upward.
The spear shattered.
The monster laughed.
A web wrapped around Xiao Li's arm, crushing tight.
Pain exploded through him.
"XIAO LI!" someone shouted.
His vision blurred—but then the system spoke again.
[Passive Effect: God-Tier Will]
Pain Resistance Increased
Xiao Li gritted his teeth, grabbed the web with his free hand, and followed it—
straight to the core thread glowing faintly inside the monster's chest.
"One shot," he muttered.
He punched.
Not with strength.
With will.
The core thread snapped.
The Skull Weaver froze.
Then screamed.
