A hundred years later.
This was the first time Grimm had left his territory. Behind him was the half-naked Misha. He followed an agile black spider on the ground and walked toward the Abyss Spider King's territory.
Along the way, he could occasionally sense a few hidden exiles waiting for the Perforation Gate to open. They might be lucky enough to pick up a few fragments of the world core, but that was all.
However, this was a mystical place in the Dimensional Esophagus that was rarely affected by the Illusory World. Even though the number of exiles was very high and there were predators who would hunt for food at irregular intervals, at least they would not die in despair because of the Illusory World's rules that suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
"Hmm?"
Grimm sensed something when he arrived at the edge of the Abyss Spider King's territory. He looked over with his tricolor eyes and saw an elemental monster that seemed to be entangled by countless thin kelp. Its entire body was emitting a withering aura. With every step it took, the withering aura lingered on the ground. Its five-meter-tall body seemed to have sensed something and covered Grimm with its will.
"Master, this is a predator that advanced a few hundred years ago. It came from the outside and is called the Withered Whisper."
Misha had gotten used to calling Grimm master after being reminded by Grimm.
Grimm nodded. This elemental creature was not weak, and the parasitic kelp also emitted a violent aura. It seemed to have a symbiotic relationship with this withered elemental creature. It was somewhat similar to the Sorcerers' symbiotic insects, soul partners, and abyssal dragons.
"Got it. I'll go greet it. You can go back."
Grimm waved his hand, indicating that Misha could go back.
"Yes."
Misha turned around and returned to Grimm's laboratory, swaying her greenish-red patterned snake tail. Grimm walked toward the Withered Whisper that seemed to be waiting for him. He held his Abyssal Magic Staff and walked toward it.
"Wizard Vanquish?"
This strange and powerful elemental creature actually took the initiative to greet Grimm's will. Grimm was a little surprised. "You know me?"
The thin kelp danced in the air, looking somewhat similar to the Infernal Spirit Myriads Bird. It bared its fangs and brandished its claws, looking very ferocious.
Grimm noticed that it was a mutated flesh creature.
"Before I was exiled into the Dimensional Esophagus, I was in the Mother World and had two space-time contacts with the Wind Whisperer Stigmata Sorcerer of your world. That's why I'm so concerned about your sorcerer's name. So, do you know this Wind Whisperer Wizard? "
Whisper of the Wind?
Grimm shook his head. There were thousands of Stigmata Sorcerers in the Sorcerers World, and they were constantly changing on the path to the Celestial Realm. Other than a small number of Sorcerers in the Holy Tower of Two Rings, the Holy Tower of Six Rings, and the Holy Tower of Seven Rings, Grimm was unfamiliar with most of the Sorcerers. It was normal that he had not heard of this Stigmata Sorcerer.
"I'm sorry, there are countless Stigmata Sorcerers in the Sorcerers World. Even I'm just a small sorcerer in the Sorcerers World, not worth mentioning."
Grimm's modest boasting made the Blighted Whisperer exclaim softly. The Vanquishing Sorcerer in front of him was not weak, yet he was only a small sorcerer in the Sorcerer World?
What kind of terrifying world was this Sorcerer World?
"Let's go together?"
Grimm invited the Mumbler of Wither. Under close observation, Grimm found that it was not just an elemental creature, but more like a law creature. Its pure attack might not be high, but it was extremely troublesome. It often had some unexpected and strange abilities that were impossible to guard against.
"Okay."
Then, the two followed the guiding spider and walked toward the Abyss Spider King's lair.
…
White silk was everywhere, and countless small spiders climbed on these silk webs, weaving a vast white palace like ice and snow. Everything inside was woven with spider silk.
Compared to Grimm's simple Skeleton Palace, this spider silk palace was obviously much more spacious and luxurious. At this moment, there were clones of the Abyss Spider King with a human face and a spider's body walking leisurely on their eight spider legs, carrying plates of fruits and wine that were absolutely rare in the Dimensional Esophagus.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh, Vanish Wizard, Mumbler of Wither, welcome to my Underworld Palace."
Grimm and the Mumbler of Wither looked toward the highest Skeleton Throne in the hall, ten thousand meters away.
Wisps of thick black breath were constantly emitted from the body of the Devil Arachne King. It was completely different from the human-bodied spider-legged doppelganger that Grimm had seen before. The Devil Arachne King was a pure red-haired spider, but it sat on the throne like a humanoid creature. The entire spider silk palace seemed to be under its control, as if it had been molded into a domain.
Grimm's tri-colored eyes narrowed slightly. He was afraid that he would not be able to defeat this Abyss Spider King with seventy percent of his strength sealed.
In the hall, there were more than twenty Level-5 clones with the upper body of a naked woman with a human head and a lower body of an eight-legged spider. In addition to that, Grimm could sense that there was an unknown energy source device hidden underneath the palace. The Underworld Arachnid King's strength in this spider palace was probably stronger than the Coffin Raisers from the Coffin of Hope, below the Devil Doll and the Paper Doll, and above the Four-Armed Blade Warrior and the Skeleton Monster!
He did not know what this hidden energy source device was.
Even when Grimm tried to sense it with the Mask of Truth, he could not find anything. It seemed to be deliberately hidden.
But no matter what, the vague pressure of the enormous energy source was clearly sensed by everyone who entered the hall.
Of course, the strength of the clones and the external force were meaningless to open the Coffin of Hope. Otherwise, with the foundation of the Abyss Spider King and Grimm's communication, it would not be impossible to pull it into the Coffin Raiser of Hope.
It would be best if they could leave the Dimensional Esophagus smoothly. Leaving through the Scepter of Hope was Grimm's last choice.
Under the guidance of the two Abyss Spider King clones, Grimm and the Mumbler of Wither sat down one after another. Only then did they look at the other three people who had also been invited by the Abyss Spider King.
A wooden puppet whose insides were constantly creaking and groaning with the sound of gears turning?
Due to the existence of the Ruler's Wood, Grimm could not see through its true nature. But from Grimm's faint sense of smell, he found the sweat glands of a flesh and blood creature inside the wooden puppet.
A mixed yellow gem suddenly floated in the air. But unlike ordinary passively evolved creatures that could only be seen on the surface, Grimm used the Mask of Truth to sense that there was a heart that had been sealed for an unknown amount of time inside this ultra-high-energy compressed gem that was only the size of a thumb. It was bursting with life energy that belonged to it.
As for the last powerhouse, it was a demonic eye that seemed to be about a meter wide with lightning surrounding it.
Strangely, the demonic eye's pupil would occasionally pulverize fruits placed in front of it with exquisite lightning power. Then, it would absorb the fruits into the pupil, as if it was connected to some kind of alien space.
None of the six people in the hall were weaklings, and all of them had flesh and blood.
As everyone observed each other, the door of the hall had unknowingly been sealed by countless small spiders. Suddenly, even the Spider Silk Underworld Hall that was tens of thousands of meters wide seemed somewhat oppressive. An unknown energy wave shrouded everyone.
