The dark mass of huge spiders rushed toward us like an oncoming wave. Without hesitation, I Scanned the horde of spiders and got this:

Kosmos Spider Horde

LEVELS: 5-15

HEALTH: 10-20

ALIGNMENT: Villain

CLASS: Untamed Beast

WEAK POINT: Body

Kosmos Spiders are monsters created from Dark Kosmos’ own evil essence. Lacking individual wills and minds, they often travel in massive hordes that devour anyone not fast enough to evade them. Although fragile and easy to kill individually, together they form a mighty horde that even a Sewer Croc would tremble before. It is recommended you do not fight a horde alone.

“Those are Dark Kosmos’ minions,” I said. I glanced at Funky. “Funky, we’ve got to run. No way we can take on so many of those at once.”

Funky, however, shook his head. “We can’t outrun them, but we don’t need to. Lennox, go! Fire Breath!”

With a mighty but tiny cry, Lennox launched off of Funky’s shoulder and shot toward the incoming Kosmos Spider Horde like a bullet. Lennox looked positively tiny in comparison to the massive horde of Kosmos Spiders and I wanted to look away, knowing that the tiny dragon was going to die as soon as he collided with the horde.

But that didn’t happen. Instead, Lennox took in a deep breath and unleashed a huge burst of fire that was way too big for a dragon his size. The fire consumed the Kosmos Spider Horde in an instant, which had been going too fast to dodge. Not that there was any room in the sewer to dodge such a huge blast, though.

Heat rolled off in waves as Lennox burned every last Kosmos Spider to ash. I could even hear the Kosmos Spiders screeching in pain. Combined with the heat—which bothered me a lot due to my Ice Man Costume—and the general stench of the sewer, it made me feel sick to my stomach. Still, I stayed where I was, watching as Lennox’s flames continued to pour out of his mouth seemingly forever, until Funky shouted, “That’s enough, Lennox!”

Lennox suddenly closed his jaw shut, cutting off his huge flame blast. Then Lennox flew back over to Funky and landed on his shoulder, a smug look on his tiny dragon features.

And I couldn’t blame him. Every last Kosmos Spider was ash. Where there had once been a living, squirming horde of monster spiders ready to eat us, there was now a massive pile of blackened ash, much of which had fallen into the wastewaters below to be swept downstream to wherever Adventure City’s waste was deposited. With Cy’s Sweet Scent having worn off at some point, the sewers smelled like a mixture of human waste and burned ash, although Cy quickly used Sweet Scent again to make the stench bearable.

“Whoa,” I said, staring at the pile of ash that had once been the Kosmos Spider Horde.
