🎬 Episode 5: “Shadow vs Spider”

🎭 Scene opens: The dust settles in the dungeon after Gorgarth the Obsidian Butcher is defeated.

💬 Daigo (smiling):

“You killed Gorgarth, bro.”

💬 Kazuki (shaking his head):

“It was thanks to you guys… and Goro and Kugo. We did it together.”

🖤 He stares at Gorgarth’s massive black corpse still smoldering on the dungeon floor.

💬 Kazuki:

“Since I killed him... I should be able to summon him as a shadow, right?”

💬 Rika (smirking):

“Exactly. He died under your blade. That makes him yours.”

📱 Suddenly, Rika’s device beeps!

📈 [NOTIFICATION: You Have Been Promoted to C-Rank]

💬 Rika (cheering):

“YES! C-Rank, baby!”

💬 Kazuki (groaning):

“Why am I the only one still in D-Rank…”

💬 Daigo (grinning):

“Forget that. Say the words. Bring Gorgarth back.”

🖤 Kazuki walks to the corpse of Gorgarth.

The room grows cold. Shadow swirls.

He whispers…

“Arise.”

Dark energy shoots from the floor. ⚫💀

💥 The body trembles, and then… Gorgarth RISES. Glowing red eyes, black obsidian armor steaming in the cold mist.

The massive shadow knight kneels before Kazuki.

Gorgarth the Shadow Butcher has joined your army.

🕷️ Then… sudden pressure fills the dungeon.

A man descends from above — wrapped in a long black coat, white markings across it. 🧥

Dozens of black spiders crawl around his arms and shoulders.

💬 “I sensed it… dark energy.”

“Name’s Spider. A-Rank Hunter.”

💬 Spider (pointing at Gorgarth):

“You resurrected him. He’s too dangerous. I’m ending this.”

💬 Kazuki (stepping forward):

“Get out of the way.”

💬 Spider:

“Arrogant, aren't you? A D-Rank summoning a boss…?”

💬 Kazuki:

“He will lose. Not with me… and two C-Ranks.”

💬 Spider:

“Shut up, brat.”

Suddenly, Spider flicks his wrist — hundreds of tiny spiders leap from his sleeve, crawling fast toward Kazuki. 🕷️🕷️🕷️

⚔️ Battle: Kazuki vs Spider’s Spiders

Kazuki dodges, forms Shadow Daggers, and slashes at the crawling swarm.

He calls Goro and Kugo, but the spiders overwhelm them briefly with numbers.

Kugo is webbed to a wall. Goro fights a dozen spiders alone.

Spider appears above Kazuki, launching web spears from his fingers.

💥 Kazuki rolls aside, slashes through webs, but gets bit in the leg by a venomous spider — his movement slows.

💬 Kazuki (panting):

“This guy… he’s fast…”

Shadow tentacles burst from Kazuki’s hands — he slams them into the ground, shaking off the spiders!

But Spider drops down again — this time with two giant spider limbs forming from his back like extra arms! 🕷️💢

He swings — Kazuki blocks with shadow daggers but is blasted backward, crashing into a stone wall.

💬 Kazuki (on one knee):

“I… almost died.”

🕷️ Spider retracts his limbs and turns away.

💬 Spider:

“You're not ready yet. But I’ll be watching. Grow stronger… or die next time.”

He vanishes into black mist.

🧍 After the fight:

💬 Kazuki: “He’s that strong even without going all out…”

💬 Daigo: “Yeah… that was A-Rank level speed, power, and control.”

💬 Rika: “He wasn’t lying. If he wanted, he could have killed Gorgarth… and all of us.”

💬 Kazuki (clenching his fists):

“Next time I see Spider… I won’t just survive.”

“I’ll win.”
