A searing flow rushed through Asmodeus's flesh, forcing his elbow to lock as he thrust Axiom forward. The halberd drove between her spinnerets, the resistance giving way with a wet squelch.
"£%^&*!"
Cassandra cursed, her massive abdomen lurching under the strike as Asmodeus wrenched the blade free. His cold eyes no longer carried a flirtatious glint.
The Black Widow lunged, one leg slamming into the stone with a shudder that shook through her taut webbed nest. Anchored by the remaining strands, she yanked at him with impossible force.
Asmodeus slid across the ground on her viscous fluids.
"Shit!"
Cassandra barreled into him like a battering ram, legs braced and hooked into the ground. He drove Axiom deep, planting himself as her bulk shoved him several metres back.
She twisted a leg inward, scraping along Axion's shaft as she tried to wrench it aside.
Then her plump abdomen swung, catching him in the ribs and hurling him across the webbed dome.
