As a witch, Arachne has the capacity to use magic related to spider themes. Unlike Medusa, who uses direct attacks, Arachne's magic is typically used to attack the opponent's psychology.
Some of her techniques include creating spiders from her soul to serve as spies and creating spider threads that can infect and paralyze targets for several days. Most dangerously, Arachne has the ability to induce madness in others through soul resonance.
2. Medusa Gorgon
Medusa is a cunning witch and a very troublesome enemy. She disguised herself as a nurse at DWMA school with the goal of gathering information and removing the Kishin seal. While disguised, she appears to genuinely care about the students, but underneath, she harbors a deeply evil and manipulative nature.

These snakes form angular vectors, overwhelming opponents. Furthermore, Medusa is also capable of emitting energy waves that induce a frenzy of power.

Asura is a first-generation Kishin and a Great Old One, closely associated with madness and the epitome of fear. He is the eldest son of a Shinigami and once served as commander of the Eight Shinigami Legions.
Unfortunately, he betrayed the Shinigami and chose to become a Kishin. Due to his dangerous power, Asura was sealed by his father until Medusa broke the seal.

Furthermore, Asura's magic can create flames capable of incinerating opponents. His immortality also makes him extremely difficult to defeat.
