The moment the two spiders climbed onto the jagged mountain wall, the arthropods and grotesque worms nearby rapidly retreated, seemingly terrified of them. Anything that could hide in the cracks of the cliff face immediately shrank inside. Yet these two creatures suddenly seemed to go mad, their four pairs of long jointed limbs whirling as they charged into the tide-like retreating swarm.

Each of their eight pointed feet skewered and killed a creature, moving with astonishing speed. The two creatures tore through the swarm like tigers among sheep, killing at will.
