Catastrophe Card King

Chapter 1668: 506_3 Chapter 1668: 506_3 After realizing the other party’s intention in an instant, the two cautiously looked toward the far end of the cave, where in their field of vision, a huge Demon Spider the size of a three-story building emerged furiously from the ceiling.

This was unmistakably the Hell Human-faced Demon Spider Lord of this lair!

This Demon Spider had already shed half of its bestial body, and atop its enormous spider body was the form of a seductive woman with a bare upper body.

That stunningly beautiful face made it seem as though countless shadows were appearing, a sign of extremely powerful Mental Power.

Being forewarned, the two were not so easily fooled.

Feeling the monster’s oppressive might, Leonard Churchill let out a sigh of relief, thinking to himself: “Eighth Rank? Divine Fragment?”

Eighth Rank… Although it was a tier higher than expected, it wasn’t a big problem.

Moreover, upon seeing the glowing crimson crystal on the spider’s abdomen, he immediately understood everything.

They had previously encountered such a Crystal Core in Blackwater Swamp, and the Thornback Dragon Python Lord had mutated because of such a Divine Fragment.

The Illusion Technique was so powerful precisely because of this Divine Fragment.

Moreover, seeing this half-human, half-spider form, Leonard Churchill also understood why that illusion world was the Moon God Illusion Technique.

Isn’t this half-human, half-spider image the Divine Body of the Master of Dreams and Pleasure, Arachne?

Leonard Churchill had seen the appearance of the Moon God offered by the Demon Clan during “The Third Holy Grail War – Outpost Battle,” which looked exactly the same as this spider lord in front of him!

Seeing this, he also understood that the Moon God, pointed to by the sequence “Plum Blossom Q – Moonlight Queen,” was not a posthumously deified spider god but rather a Divine Rank Powerhouse originally from the Hell Human-faced Demon Spiders!

“So that’s it…”
Leonard Churchill figured everything out and smiled in relief.

Since the spider’s Mental Illusion Technique was of little use to him, the threat was not significant.

His mind was filled with thoughts, but in reality, only a moment had passed.

Leonard Churchill merely glanced at the spider lord and then shifted his gaze to the slightly bewildered peacock in front of him.

Thinking to himself, he communicated mentally: “Thank you.”

“…”
The peacock looked somewhat awkward; she knew these humans wouldn’t have been trapped and killed by the illusion even if she hadn’t intervened.

At the same time, though she was loathed to admit it, she felt relieved that she hadn’t acted earlier, for if she had, the Demon Spider Lord would not have been able to kill these three people, and she herself would have undoubtedly died.

Leonard Churchill couldn’t say much, because at that moment, the Demon Spider Lord had already charged at them.

…

Sophia Jones hastened to awaken Madam Mister, who was lost in delusion.

This Vampire Count, upon assessing the situation inside the cave, belatedly realized she had been under an illusion.

She immediately transformed into a Vampire with a green face and sharp fangs.

The three, facing the Demon Spider Lord, did not hesitate at all and attacked simultaneously.

A fierce battle erupted in the cave.

The three held nothing back, unleashing all their techniques.

Sophia Jones wielded both Descending Gods–God Skill in one hand and Immortal Technique in the other–commanding supreme power;
Leonard Churchill’s Overlord Fist was as powerful as cannon fire, resounding throughout the cave;
Madam Mister, transformed into countless small bats, sucked blood from the massive spider body…
Together, the three of them forced the spider lord into a relentless retreat.

Although this was also an Eighth Rank mutant leader, its methods paled in comparison to those of the Heavenly Dragon Saint encountered before.

No matter if it’s toxins, spider webs, or mental pollution… for the three of them, although deadly, it was still manageable.

Despite being an extremely dangerous battle, all three felt that it was much easier to deal with than Chireesa, who could cast God Skills with a wave of her hand.

As long as they could break through the defense, if the Demon Spider Lord couldn’t kill them, then they would kill the Lord instead.

The only spectator, the Nether Peacock, watched the scene with great interest.

Originally intending to use this evil neighbor to kill these humans.

But now it seemed she had thought too much.

She only realized now that the three of them hadn’t used their full strength when they had dealt with her.

At least, she had never expected the man who had taken out the Garcia Family’s token to be so formidable.

…

“Shua, shua, shua…”

The Demon Spider Lord wanted to summon minions for help, but Leonard Churchill stopped them single-handedly.

Sharp flying knives whirled like a metal tornado in the cave.

Leaving a ground covered with corpses.

Sophia Jones in front was swinging her great sword wildly; Madam Mister’s bloodsucking grew stronger and even healed her previous injuries…

The three of them grew more vigorous as they fought.

The Demon Spider Lord knew it was outmatched and while fighting, it fled towards the deeper parts of the cave.

This spider cave was clearly an ancient relic.

As they went deeper, more and more traces of human artifice appeared around the cave.

Just by looking at the degree of weathering, it even seemed older than the relics of the Altranc civilization from hundreds of thousands of years ago.

After all, this cave was a secret passage on the map leading to the sixteenth layer, Leonard Churchill guessed it might be related to that mysterious relic.

But gradually, he also noticed a problem.

The elements around the cave were getting richer…

Leonard Churchill knew that the Demon Spider Lord running to this deep place must have a purpose.

He faintly felt that continuing the pursuit might be dangerous.

Sophia Jones and Madam Mister had also noticed this.

But after all, it was an Eighth Rank Mutant Magical Beast Lord, with a very thick health bar and due to the mutation, it had a very strong self-healing ability. So even if the three of them fought with all their might, they couldn’t stop the Demon Spider from escaping if it was determined to flee.

If it had been flat land, continuing the chase would eventually exhaust the Demon Spider Lord to death.

But this was the Death Domain.

It’s not certain that this Demon Spider Lord didn’t have the intention of leading them to dangerous places, just like the previous Nether Peacock.

However, just as Leonard Churchill and the others felt more and more that something was wrong and hesitated whether to pursue deeper, suddenly a dense cluster of Silent Annihilation Divine Light Feathers shot out from behind them, hitting the Demon Spider Lord’s body precisely.

The feather, capable of breaking all techniques, easily penetrated the highly poisonous domain that Leonard Churchill and the others were cautiously dealing with, hitting exactly at the end of the Demon Spider’s spinal column.

Originally, that injury was negligible for the Demon Spider Lord’s massive body, but whether it hit a vital point, the body of the Demon Spider suddenly stiffened, and there was a gap in its magical power.

Sophia Jones seized the opportunity to chop off the Demon Spider’s head.

Leonard Churchill turned his head and saw that it was the Nether Peacock who had made the move.

The peacock, seeing the human gaze turned towards her, had an indifferent face without much change in expression. She did not want humans to misunderstand that she intended to save them; eventually, she communicated to Leonard Churchill using Mental Power: “If you continue to chase, awakening the one in the Elemental Waterfall below, we all will die here…”
