Netheril’s Glory - Chapter 95: The Battle.
Punk’s thought process was soon interrupted by the hoarse voice of the leading soul floating on the dark-green spider’s forehead.
“Ha ha ha, See? See? See? This is the power given to us by the supreme goddess Ti Xiaer. Even we worthless lambs can wield the official-level strength under the grace of our great goddess.”
The soul at the head of the spider started to laugh wildly, and the souls floating inside the spider also began to laugh with it. Their sharp voice was as harsh as scraping a blackboard with an iron piece.
“Strength? It’s ridiculous. How long can you hold on? Three minutes or five minutes?”
Facing the boasting of what seemed like the soul of the leader of these believers, Punk ridiculed mercilessly. In his opinion, these poor bugs were not only ignorant but also extremely stupid.
This method of creating magical beasts by fusion was essentially a kind of instant biological alchemy. Although Punk didn’t know what technique these guys used to integrate themselves in one body without the manipulation of an official level powerhouse, but regardless they still most likely wouldn’t be able to get rid of the huge disadvantage of this kind of instant alchemy, which was its short-lasting time.
It was true that the spider beast formed by their fusion had the power of official level, but this power was obtained by burning the souls of these more than 50 believers. And at most, in five minutes, the souls of these crazy believers would be completely burned out, and when that happened, he didn’t even have to do anything himself because the dark green spider that had lost its power wouldn’t be able to maintain its incompatible forcibly fused body, and it would become a puddle of disgusting rotten flesh again.
“Damned mortal, you dare to question the salvation of the great and supreme goddess Ti Xiaer. You have to pay for your sins.”
Hearing Punk’s ridicule, all the souls on the dark-green spider’s body suddenly became ferocious, and a fierce killing intent flashed across the spider’s eight eyes. Its big flashing blood-red eyes looked terrifying in the gloomy cave.
Although the strength of this dark green spider magic beast was not that good, Punk still didn’t dare to be careless.
After all, the situation now in front of him was very tricky. The enemy boss seemed to have predicted his arrival in advance, but perhaps because the predicted information was vague, or maybe because the opponent was too busy with some other important thing that couldn’t be left halfway. Whatever the reason might be, the fact was that the enemy did not lay a trap to ambush him, instead chose to let these unstable believers and the phantom spider outside confront him first.
But, regardless of whether the enemy had already discovered himself or not, it was an indisputable fact that the other party knew more about him than he knew about the enemy. So in such a case, no matter how careless the enemy was, they certainly would pay more attention to the cave passage, so Punk didn’t think for a second that just because he used silent domain, his concealment was foolproof.
Moreover, Punk feared that the enemy’s strength also reached the official level. So once the other side rushed over and united with this dark green spider to deal with him, then the situation would become really dangerous.
“I have to finish this fight quickly.”
A cold light flashed in Punk’s eyes, and the azure blue magical brilliance spun rapidly in his pupils. Although when dealing with such a time-sensitive opponent, the easiest method was to just delay for a few minutes, but now Punk didn’t dare to do so.
Punk quickly blessed himself with an Advanced swiftness spell, and he already had the Official level mage armor on his body. So now, with the defense of the Advanced mage armor and his robe, and with the maneuverability of the Advanced swiftness spell, his safety, at least in front of the spider beast, could be guaranteed.
Just as Punk released the swiftness spell, the dark green spider had also completed its attack.
A green liquid sphere was suspended in front of the spider’s fangs. This sphere formed with a concentrated, viscous solution looked small and inconspicuous, but it gave off an aura of terror and destruction.
“You sinful heresy, accept the punishment of Goddess Ti Xiaer!”
As soon as this sentence came out of the soul of the believer’s leader, at the same time, the viscous sphere condensed by the dark green spider turned into a green glow and shot towards Punk.
“You idiot!”
Facing the attack of the dark green spider, Punk gave it such a disdainful evaluation, not because the attack power of the sticky sphere was not strong, but because the leader’s soul actually said a long string of dialogue before the attack. Obviously, such brain-dead behavior made it extremely easy for him to avoid the attack of the dark green spider.
Already aware of the opponent’s incoming attack, it was impossible for Punk to be hit by it.
Under the effect of the advanced swiftness, the friction that Punk received from air and ground was greatly reduced, so just by gently tapping his toes, he traveled a long distance like an advanced form of ice skating.
The viscous green sphere fell on the empty ground without even touching the corner of Punk’s clothes.
After falling on the ground, the green sphere exploded, and a large amount of acid solution was splashed on the rocky ground. The ground was instantly corroded while making a continuous sizzling sound and formed a large pit. A large amount of white smoke came out from the pit.
Seeing the attack power of the dark green sphere, Punk’s expression became more serious. He really didn’t expect that this seemingly insignificant ball had such corrosive strength. The most troublesome thing was that the liquid acid obviously contained a strong poisonous property, and it also didn’t seem like any regular poison but one of those difficult to deal with magical toxins. Once it entered one’s body, it would definitely make them feel an extreme headache.
“Ha ha ha ha, see? The power given by goddess Ti Xiaer can not be blocked by small heresies.”
Seeing that his attack had such colossal power, the leader of the believers who just experienced official level strength for the first time yelled loudly in excitement, and the outer shell of the dark green spider trembled from the weird laughter of the souls inside.
At this time, all of them became utterly addicted to the false power and couldn’t extricate themselves. Perhaps because of it, from beginning to now, the leading soul never thought of sending any signal out of the “silent domain” to ask the so-called “lord” inside for support; in other words, he became highly arrogant just after testing a little bit of power and believed that he did not need any assistance to deal with a minor heretic such as Punk.
“You really think I can’t do anything about you?”
Hearing the arrogant laugh of the dark green spider, Punk expressed his contempt with a cold tone.
“What, you…………”
Just when the dark green spider was about to use another long-range attack to let this heresy in front of him feel the power of Goddess Ti Xiaer, suddenly a powerful aura appeared and locked into its head.
Although the leader of the believers was crazy and also drowning in the feeling of strength, he still had not lost all his IQ. So feeling the sudden sense of danger in his heart, he thought that Punk’s mental power had locked onto him, and If he continued attacking without evading, a powerful spell would soon fall on him.
“Ah, ah, ah! No… damn heresy!”
The leader’s soul urgently interrupted the attack he was about to released and let out a loud roar. The pain from the forcefully intercepted attack’s backlash caused his soul to be twisted into a ball on the forehead of the dark-green spider.
But despite the pain, feeling the impending danger, all the believers’ souls begun to burn more vigorously, causing black smoke to appear from the spider’s body, and the leader of the believers who was controlling the spider had already planned to avoid this attack with all his strength.
“Once a fool, always a fool! Don’t you think you have forgotten something?”
Punk sneered and looked at the hideous-looking soul of the leader.
Hearing Punk’s cold ridicule, the leader of the believers suddenly remembered an existence that he had ignored from the beginning. Through the soul floating inside the dark green spider, he saw a tall figure running towards them soundlessly.
The thick soles of its feet stomped heavily on the dirty ground. Its claws entwined with blood-red abyssal energy were exuding a fierce killing intent. It had weird purple-black eyes and the skin stitched like clothes; all these marks were enough to reveal the identity of the incoming figure,-No. 1!
