Half a month later …
Blazing Cavern.
Grimm's mighty 100-metre-tall body stood atop a small volcano, silently observing the dark red world of black smoke and flames around him.
As the former ruler of this place, the Darkweb Spider Matriarch who had ruled the Blazing Cavern for close to 2,000 years, Lakbeth was lying at Grimm's feet, her bulging belly still glowing with the golden runes left behind by the Inextinguishable Flames.
Lakbeth was in a miserable state!
Three days ago, this mysterious flame giant had suddenly appeared in her territory and demanded her to submit and pledge her loyalty.
Flame creatures were all cruel and ruthless creatures, how could they be willing to give up the freedom of their souls!
Thus, an earth-shattering battle broke out just like that.
What Lakbeth did not expect was that this Flame Giant was actually a terrifying Grade 5 powerhouse. He had instantly destroyed the Blazing Cavern that Lakbeth had painstakingly built over thousands of years, at the same time wiping out the countless traps and descendants of the Darkweb Spiders in one fell swoop.
The battle between the two of them went from the Burning Cave to the Xinga Volcano, and only ended with the defeat of the Mother of Spiders, Lakbeth, after a distance of two hundred kilometers.
Lakbeth was a 5-metre-tall fire-type Ashen Web Spider with six pairs of sharp limbs and a pair of giant pincers. As the Mother of the Ashen Web Spiders, Lakbeth was most adept at laying fire web traps and breeding large numbers of Fire Spiders.
She set up a large number of spider web traps near her lair to hunt for wandering Flame creatures, and relied on absorbing the lava and flames from the remains of the Elemental Spiders to survive, growing stronger bit by bit.
Her main body might not be too strong, but she had the most troublesome fire webs and a shocking number of descendants. It was precisely because of these two points that she was able to stand out from the many Flame creatures, becoming the only Grade 4 Lord of the Flames within a thousand kilometers.
However, she did not live up to her name as a Lord of the Flames. Apart from her descendants, she did not have any other Flame creatures following her. As for the reason, one could tell from her round belly that could never be full.
In the face of such a sinister and cunning Dragonweb Spider Mother who liked to ambush her enemies in the dark, Grim naturally had many ways to deal with her.
One of the main reasons why Lachbeth was so difficult to deal with was that her lair was built underground, and the cave passages were extremely narrow and winding. When she encountered those extremely powerful flame creatures, she would hide underground and not come out. And when she encountered a slightly weaker fellow, she would make a big move, using little fellows like the Self Exploding Fire Spiders, Dark Web Larvae, and Web Weaving Spiders to lure them into her fire web trap.
Grim was even more sinister than her when dealing with such a despicable person who bullied the weak and feared the strong!
The first thing Grimm did when he arrived was to block the entrance to Lakbeth's lair. He then summoned the Burning Heaven Flame and blew it to every corner of the underground lair.
Smoldering Spider!
Although the Darkweb Spider was a fire-type creature, it could survive in lava that was thousands of degrees Celsius. However, against the flames of laws like the Burning Heaven Flame, their Fire Resistance was instantly reduced to zero. They could only shriek and wail miserably in the sea of golden flames.
Let alone these little fellows, even the Grade 4 Broodmother Lachbeth was forced out of the lair. It could only drag its charred body covered in golden flames to fight Grim.
It was very awkward. Although Grim was Grade 5, his Strength, Vitality, and Agility were far from this Grade 4 Broodmother. However, his powerful Flame Leap allowed him to dodge Lachbeth's Swift Bite, Boiling Splash, and Smoldering Destruction.
Swift Bite: Within the range of the fire web, Lachbeth's movement speed is increased by 300%. Attacks have a certain chance of paralyzing the enemy.
Seething Splash: Spray a 20-meter-long scorching venom in a 60-degree cone, dealing 3000 degrees of fire damage and 2000 degrees of venom damage to enemies within the cone.
Smoldering Destruction: Spits a terrifying 5x5 meter fire web filled with venom at the enemy. Enemies bound by the fire web will lose their ability to move and suffer great damage from the venom igniting the fire energy in their bodies.
It had to be said that those who could stand out from the other Flame Lords and become the cream of the crop were all extremely powerful. They had some terrifying skills that others could not match up to!
Even if Grim's rank was higher than his opponent's, and he had the protection of two Divine Weapons and two types of laws of fire, he still had to be careful against the Broodmother's Smoldering Destruction.
It was impossible for him to turn the tables, but if he was not careful, he might be bitten twice by the fire web. That would be extremely embarrassing!
That was why Lachbeth was able to use the fire web to force Grim to retreat time and time again.
After running all the way here and using up all the venom and fire web slime, Lachbeth was blasted by Grim's fireball and left a Flame Brand on its body.
"Submit or be destroyed?" Grim roared.
"I'd rather die than surrender …" Lachbeth had just screamed when the fire rune on her abdomen suddenly turned into a scorching golden flame that instantly engulfed her body.
This golden flame was the materialized Inextinguishable Flames. It had the characteristics of ignoring magic resistance and burning souls. That was why even with Lachbeth's Grade 4 Flame Lord's fire resistance, she was in so much pain that her entire body was charred black.
Fortunately, Grim did not intend to kill her, so the Inextinguishable Flames only burned five fingers before it degenerated back into a fire rune. Grim took out a bottle of healing potion and poured it on Lachbeth's charred body.
With the powerful regenerative ability of a Grade 4 creature and the help of the healing potion, Lachbeth only took a quarter of an hour to recover.
A muffled thud sounded.
Grim raised his foot and stepped on the Broodmother who was about to tear the surface and escape underground. He asked again in a booming voice, "Surrender or Destruction?"
"You …" This time, Lachbeth did not even finish her sentence before her entire body was once again engulfed by the golden flames that soared into the sky.
The sizzling sound of burning flesh resounded once more, and a pungent burnt smell filled the air.
A moment later, the flames receded, and Lachbeth was once again rescued by Grim.
"Hehehe, little spider, you can be stubborn. Anyway, I have a lot of healing potions here. It won't be a problem even if I torture you for a hundred years. Tell me, what's your choice this time? "Grim sneered, the indifference in his words causing the broodmother to feel a chill down her spine.
"I …"
As soon as Lachbeth said that word, the golden flames instantly engulfed her body, and her shrill screams resounded once more.
A moment later, the flames subsided.
Grim frowned and scratched his head, saying with an 'apologetic' expression, "Sorry, I activated the flames too early. What did you say just now? "
Crouching on the hard rock, the dying Lacebeth angrily waved its limbs and claws, cutting the volcanic rock beneath it into pieces and leaving scratches all over the place.
"Why? Why did you come to me? There are many Flame Lords here, why did you come to me alone? "The broodmother obviously had a deep grudge against this question.
"That's why you're the smartest!" Grim praised with a smile.
This was his heartfelt words.
Although those big fools were quite strong and their ranks were not low, they were all hot-tempered and straightforward, and did not know how to be flexible. They were all stubborn bulls that ran all the way to the dark, and threatening them with death was useless.
In contrast, only these fellows with otherworldly bloodlines and smart enough brains knew fear and the value of life.
All smart people were afraid of death!
This was the iron law concluded by the Wizards, and Grim deeply agreed with it!
"What if I don't surrender?" Even with such a serious injury, Lachbeth only needed to slow down for a moment before her whole body entered a state of rapid recovery, and even her speech became stronger.
"Then I'll play with you for a while, until my patience runs out." Grim explained in a simple and honest manner, "When that time comes, I'll twist off your head as a trophy, break off your spider legs to make daggers, pull off your claws to make scissors, and dig out your silk sac and poison glands to make magic equipment …"
"Hmm, let me think, what other valuable things do you have on you … Right, I can even extract souls … Hey, little spider, do you have a spider crystal in your body? I heard it's something good … "
Hearing Grim's explanation, the Dragonweb Spider Queen, Lachbeth, could not help but shiver. As a high level intelligent life form, she was different from those big guys who were born stupid and had violent temperaments.
She knew that if a high-grade elemental creature like her fell into the hands of a human Magus, death was not the end, but the beginning of endless torture!
Thinking about the miserable and miserable life of slavery that she would have to live for thousands of years, Lachbeth could not help but be overcome with sorrow. She lay there and bawled.
However, as a strange-looking fiery spider, even if she cried like a pear blossom in the rain, in the eyes of humans, she would still look sinister and ugly.
"Hey, little spider, have you made up your mind? If you don't surrender, I'll have to eat your spider legs first! "Grim impatiently stomped on her feet, causing the spider mother to squeal in pain.
"I surrender … I surrender!" The tyrannical was afraid of the wicked. The Dragonweb Spider Queen Lakebess, who had been running amok in this area for two thousand years, finally lowered her proud head and surrendered to Grim.
The next step was simple.
Lachbeth released her consciousness, and Grim branded his soul imprint within.
