Chương 118: New Glossary Entries

Frillie's attack magic instantly sliced through the cave and shot out.

boom- The almost solidified magic beam struck the spider silk, which was as thick as a bowl, but had no effect whatsoever.

Philon disappeared into the cave entrance in the blink of an eye —

"Spider silk has high magic resistance."

Frillie immediately informed the others of her assessment.

Shane looked around, and his guess was the same as Frilian's.

Moreover, the spiderweb they were standing on remained completely unharmed despite Philon's magical attack. Clearly, like the spider silk itself, it possessed magical immunity. He suspected that the large web beneath their feet and the spider silk that had just attacked Philon came from the same spider.

Nearby, Frilian had already voiced his guess.

"The one who attacked Philon was most likely the 'Spider Queen' of this spider nest, the leader of this group of spiders."

As soon as Frilian finished speaking, Shutark showed a look of horror.

"Isn't it incredibly dangerous for Phyllen to face a monster leader who's immune to magic all by herself? We have to hurry and help her!"

As he spoke, he turned and ran into the huge oval-shaped passage.

Xia En was taken aback.

He then smiled.

This silly boy—usually timid, troublesome, and prone to making a fuss, but he never lets you down when it matters.

Without hesitation, the group followed Shutark into the passageway.

The gem at the top of Frilian's staff lit up with a bright light.

Thanks to Philon's magical barrage, there are almost no small spiders left in the nest; only one or two occasionally dart out of the tunnel.

These smaller monsters, now outnumbered, can be easily dealt with by Shutark, who is clearing the way.

The tunnel was deep and rugged, and Xia En could clearly sense that they were heading deeper underground.

Suddenly, Shutark stopped.

Xia En looked ahead, past the boy's shoulder.

A huge cave appeared before them, filled with spider webs and chains. A massive circular stone pillar emerged from the depths of the earth, carved with twisted and blurred runes, and at its very top was a huge magical incantation.

The moment Xia En saw the stone pillar.

A line of blue text appeared before his eyes.

Before he could get a good look, a white shadow flashed past his eyes, and a spider web the size of a bowl attacked them again!

boom.

Shutark's battle axe cleaved down, breaking the spider silk, but strangely, the spider silk continued to break as it moved forward.

puff.

Spider silk brushed past Shutark's shoulder and swept behind him. Shane only felt a white blur in front of him and instinctively held his sword horizontally in front of him.

The term "Deflection Field" is triggered.

The spider silk attack was instantly twisted and struck the stone wall beside it.

Frilian immediately erected a circular [defense magic] to protect the four of them from all sides.

Seeing that the attack was ineffective, the spider silk slowly retracted.

Following the retracting spider silk, the group finally saw the master of the nest—a terrifying creature with countless legs, eight eyes, a mouth full of fangs, and its body covered in shiny scales, hanging from the cave ceiling.

Many small spiders were crawling all over its body. The spiders crawling all over it made one's scalp tingle.

"Look over there! Behind the spider!"

Zain's voice trembled as he spoke.

Shaun looked up and saw two children and Philon. All three were bound by spider silk and lay unconscious beside a pillar behind the spider.

Shane and Shutark exchanged a glance, and the two of them made a decisive move, rushing towards the spider's back at the same time.

Bang bang bang— The spider silk blocking their path was cut down one after another by the battle axe and longsword, and the two were about to get close to Philon.

But suddenly, even more spider silk burst forth from the mother spider's abdomen.

As a result, the two who had rushed halfway were forced to retreat under the increasing pressure of the spider silk and had to turn back.

It's impossible to sever the ties; it's impossible to untangle the knots.

Shane hates this kind of attack the most.

Whether it was the magical thread attack from [Dorat] before, or the hair attack from [Yuki-onna] later, these numerous long-range linear attacks were very effective against his close-range attacks.

at the same time.

Frillie covered their advance, and all the magical attacks she unleashed were deflected.

The Spider Queen is not only immune to magical damage from its silk, but its entire body is also covered in a smooth carapace that reflects magic, making it look less like a spider and more like a mutated crab.

Frillie stopped immediately.

The direction of her magical reflection is unpredictable; her attack could hit Philon and the two children.

The battle suddenly reached a stalemate.

Xia En activated the [Goddess's Barrier], and everyone hid inside, unsure of what to do.

"Shane, can you throw your sword at the spider's head?" Frilian suggested.

Xia En was speechless.

Even with the [One Against Three] power enhancement, it's impossible to guarantee a perfect shot.

"I see—Aize's axe throwing has always been very accurate."'

"" Shaen recalled the scene of Aize teaching him how to skip stones; the accuracy he achieved through countless trials was truly terrifying.

"I can't be like my master either—" At this point, Zain proposed a tactical plan.

"In the Goddess Magic, there is a spell called [Thorn Entanglement], which is similar in effect to the Mage's [Binding Magic], both of which can briefly control the target."

"Frilian will feign an attack from the front to distract them, while my magic can strike from behind. This will buy you and Shutark time to advance."

"it is good."

Shane immediately agreed.

Zain paused slightly.

"You believe me so easily?"

Faced with Zain's doubts, Shane replied without hesitation, "Because we're teammates."

In that instant.

Zain was stunned.

Suddenly, the face of his childhood friend, "Gorilla," flashed before his eyes. The other man smiled and described the adventurous life he had imagined, "Zane, we will definitely become heroes who will be remembered in history. You and I, we will be remembered forever."

"Being confident is one thing, but why are you so confident in me too? —"

"Of course, because you're my partner!"

At this moment, in Zain's heart, the ideals and beliefs that had long been worn away by time were rekindled.

Partners?

Then we'll have no choice but to give it our all.

"Frilian".

Zan reminded me.

At the same time, the holy book in his hand instantly opened, and a pale green light gathered in his other hand.

Reminded by him, Frilian's staff also began to glow.

A massive magical incantation unfolded before Frilian, from which countless golden chains coalesced and shot forth, mercilessly attacking the spider.

The spider's silk thrashed wildly, many strands of silk intertwining with the chains, creating gaps around the spider's body.

In an instant.

A green magic spell unfolded from the spider's back, and countless green thorns shot out from it. With a swift, rapid motion, the thorns wrapped around the spider's entire body, tightening their grip and imprisoning it. The plan had succeeded!

Without hesitation, Shane and Shutark seized this rare opening and launched a flanking attack from both sides.

[Flash Strike] Shutark cleaved the spiderweb that the spiders had woven in front of him as a shield with a single axe stroke.

Xia En missed Shutark's body and continued forward using the path created by the boy's slash. Swish—a sharp sword light flew forward.

【Dual Blade Style - Moon Wheel】: A slashing technique where sword energy transforms into a moon wheel, unleashing continuous arcing slashes on the target area.

The remaining spider silk around the spider was instantly cleared away.

Xia En activated his acceleration and surprise attack, transforming into a streak of light and successfully arriving in front of the spider.

He raised his longsword and simultaneously completed three "collusions" against Shutark in a single battle.

boom- The longsword struck the spider's hard carapace.

【Heavy Strike (Blue Excellent)】: Your normal attacks become heavy slashes comparable to a giant axe, each one hurts.

With the added bonus from the keyword, the spider was immediately knocked to the ground.

At the same time, the [Dual Blade Style: Ferocious Transformation] skill takes effect, and the spider's defense is broken.

The longsword, striking the carapace, sank in inch by inch.

[Electrocution], [Suspicious Poison], and [Torture] were triggered simultaneously, causing the spider to convulse. Instantly, it was covered in over a dozen negative status effects: stiffness, dizziness, paralysis, bleeding— At this point, the outcome is decided.

Frilian, Zain, and Shutark have gone to check on Philon and the children.

Shane finished off the spider with a few more sword strikes, hoping to kill it quickly.

Only then did he have time to look at the stone pillar where the entry information had just appeared.

"This is----" The moment he saw the words, his heart skipped a beat.
