Dungeon King: A Lady Knight Offered by My Goblins

Chapter 366 364-Thousand-Faced Demon Spider

As the Thousand-Faced Demon Spider emitted its hissing sound, the entire divine crystal mining mountain trembled.

The ground of the camp, covered with soil and pebbles, began to quiver, and the whole mining mountain seemed to be undergoing a transformation.

"The Thousand-Faced Demon Spider has awakened,"Ethan said softly, his eyes vigilant.

"It seems so,"Luther responded, almost like a statue.

As the two conversed, the vibrations of the divine crystal mining mountain grew more intense.

The epicenter of the tremors was the mine pit, with stones and soil continuously falling into it.

The mine pit began to crack, the vibrations becoming more massive.

A powerful tremor suddenly emanated from the depths of the mine, as if something was stirring awake.

With the intensifying tremors, the trees around the mine swayed, and the dust on the ground was stirred up, forming a pervasive cloud of dust.

Ethan and Luther did not have to wait long before a gigantic figure slowly rose from the mine. 

The mere sight of its body was enough to astonish the world.

The Thousand-Faced Demon Spider loomed like a small mountain, its eight legs still hidden below in the mine pit.

Its body was covered in a hard carapace, shimmering with a metallic luster. 

Its eyes, like two dazzling stars, emitted a mesmerizing yet evil light.

Ethan's mouth twitched slightly as he took a couple of steps back, "Didn't you say the Thousand-Faced Demon Spider wouldn't wake up?"

"Yes,"Luther, on the verge of madness, thought the light was about to come but instead faced death, "I tried to wake the Thousand-Faced Demon Spider twice before, but it never did. Now that it's actually awakened, it defies all logic."

Ethan calmed himself, gritting his teeth as he spoke, "Now isn't the time to wonder why the Thousand-Faced Demon Spider awoke, but rather to figure out how to deal with it..."

"We can't defeat it..." Luther said in despair, unaware that a bizarre spider tattoo on his back began to glow and wriggle as if coming to life.

The soul of war within Ethan burst forth from the depths of his soul, "Luther, it's either fight or die! Our only solution now is to join forces and slay the Thousand-Faced Demon Spider."

Due to the sudden emergence of the Thousand-Faced Demon Spider, the ground cracked open, rocks tumbled, and dust billowed in the air.

The Thousand-Faced Demon Spider shook its head, seemingly searching for something. 

Its gaze was sharp and unwavering, as if it could penetrate all barriers.

It abruptly stopped moving its head, fixing its gaze firmly on Ethan and Luther.

It had found its target.

"You killed my emissary," the Thousand-Faced Demon Spider, surprisingly speaking in human tongue, indistinguishable between male and female, sounded almost like a deity.

"What do you mean?" Ethan was startled. "Weren't Herman and his companions serving the Bernie family? How did they become emissaries of the Thousand-Faced Demon Spider?"

"How should I know?" Luther growled with a Soul Whisper, "Do you still want to chat with it? Our lives are in its hands now."

Ethan's eyes blazed with a fighting spirit, undaunted as he replied, "What else can we do?"

"We fight the Thousand-Faced Demon Spider and then look for an opportunity to escape. The Magic Circle managed by Herman and his group should have lost its effect with Herman's death."

Luther's eyes flickered; this was the best plan he could think of at the moment.

"Understood."

Luther's Heart of Fragmentation lit up in his hand, and with a mere thought, it emitted a dazzling light that shot straight into the sky.

His body soared into the air, like a meteor streaking across the heavens.

In mid-air, the Heart of Fragmentation in Luther's hand traced beautiful arcs, each line seeming to contain endless power.

Luther's figure tumbled through the air, at times like a tiger descending a mountain, at others like a dragon diving into the sea. 

His swordsmanship had reached a level of flawless purity, each move a marvel to behold.

Around him, the air seemed to be sliced into fragments, creating terrifying currents.

Suddenly, Luther's Heart of Fragmentation transformed into a bolt of white lightning, slashing directly towards the head of the Thousand-Faced Demon Spider.

Ethan, not to be outdone, stood in the void, his wings furiously flapping behind him.

His spear pointed directly at the heavens, as if to pierce the sky itself.

The Blasphemous Spear was wrapped in countless bolts of lightning, flames, and frost.

With every swing of Ethan's arm, a tempestuous storm was conjured, thunderous and overwhelming.

Luther and Ethan's attacks landed simultaneously on the Thousand-Faced Demon Spider.

The spider countered by spitting out layers of webs, astonishingly withstanding the assault of both men.

Seeing this, Ethan's heart skipped a beat, and the Dragonblade appeared in his hand.

He swung the Dragonblade fiercely, a brilliant blade light slicing through the morning air, like a dragon soaring from the depths of the sea.

Where the blade light passed, the air seemed to tear apart, emitting a piercing screech.

Ethan was beginning to understand that in the realm of deities, what was emphasized was a return to simplicity and purity.

Flashy attacks held no sway in realms beyond S-level.

Only the application of the power of law and the collision of the power of deity within one's body were effective.

Ethan, who had begun to grasp the Law of Dragon, moved like a ghost across the square. 

Each swing of his Dragonblade brought forth a fierce wind.

He was the dragon that stirred the clouds and winds!

The Dragonblade in his hand seemed alive, at times transforming into a bolt of lightning, at others into a swimming dragon, and sometimes into a blooming lotus...

Each move was filled with endless variations and power, dazzling to behold.

Both men had exhausted their repertoire of techniques, yet the Thousand-Faced Demon Spider remained unscathed.

Its eyes, dazzling like stars, watched Ethan and Luther with an unnerving calmness.

"We can't defeat it--" Ethan's forehead was beaded with sweat, his back completely drenched.

His hair, wet with sweat, clung to his forehead, giving him a disheveled look.

At Ethan's level, sweating was nearly an impossibility.

Yet, facing the Thousand-Faced Demon Spider, both were drenched in sweat, their backs soaked.

Even as the soul of war in Ethan's mind burned fiercely, and the light of battle still shone in his eyes, he uttered those words.

Luther, too, was panting heavily, sweat streaming down his face to his chin before falling heavily:

"It's too terrifying, there's absolutely no opportunity to attack..."

"We can't find any weaknesses; our attacks are like a joke in front of it."

The Thousand-Faced Demon Spider's web seemed to be the toughest material in the world.

Even the full force of their combined attacks left no mark on the spider's web.

"What do we do now?"

Ethan's question plunged them into silence.

The spider tattoo on Luther's back became searing hot. He twitched his shoulders slightly, trying to alleviate the discomfort.

"Come to me... my child..."

A voice echoed in Luther's mind.

He suddenly focused, looking towards the Thousand-Faced Demon Spider. 

Indeed, it was only watching him, not paying any attention to Ethan.

A bitter smile spread across Luther's face as he began to understand what was happening.

"Go," Luther suddenly said, "It's after me."

"Hmm?" Ethan, armed with a spear in one hand and a sword in the other, watched the Thousand-Faced Demon Spider warily. "Why do you say that?"

"Do you remember the spider tattoo on my back?"

Luther's smile grew more pained. 

He had thought it was merely a lifeform implanted by the spider, intending to use his body as a breeding ground for the Thousand-Faced Demon Spider's offspring.

But now it seemed not to be the case.

The spider tattoo on his back signified that he had been marked by the Thousand-Faced Demon Spider.

He would never be able to escape in this lifetime, unless he killed the Thousand-Faced Demon Spider...

But how could the Thousand-Faced Demon Spider be killed?

Ethan turned his head to look at Luther, his eyes flickering with light.

The image of that sinister spider tattoo again surfaced in his mind.

"Is it acting up?"

Before Ethan could finish speaking, Luther once again removed his shirt, revealing the entire spider tattoo on his back.

Initially black, the tattoo had become increasingly vibrant over time, as if imbued with life.

Ethan's eyes widened in horror at the sight of the spider tattoo.

It writhed on Luther's back, seemingly trying to emerge from his agony.

Luther's back even began to bleed, streaks of blood tracing lines across his skin.

The black spider tattoo, stained with blood, turned a sinister, eerie red.

Ethan's eyes flickered, the gold-etched skull emblem in his hand pulsating:

"No, I can't leave. I will get you out of here."

"I have one last method, absolutely capable of killing this monstrosity."

As he spoke, Ethan extended his hand, the gold-etched skull emblem on it throbbing wildly.

Sensing the power of the gold-etched skull emblem, the Thousand-Faced Demon Spider started to squirm frenetically.

The entire mine pit shook again, with stones flying chaotically and dust filling the air.

"Stop it, make it stop..."

lightsnοvεl.cοm The voice in Luther's mind resonated once more.

"The Thousand-Faced Demon Spider fears that thing in your hand."

Although Luther didn't know what the emblem represented, he still shouted with a mix of shock and relief.
