How terrifying was an elite monster that had the advantage of home turf?
This question might not have been easy to answer before, but now … there was no need to answer it!
In this spider hall, the enormous and bloated Demon Hunter Spiders were as nimble as apes. With the cover of the stone pillars, it could easily dodge the concentrated spells of Grimm's party. It also took the opportunity to climb over the walls. With the help of the spider webs, its eight legs could move as fast as lightning even though it was hanging upside down from the ceiling.
Every time it attacked, the dense forest of spikes and claws would send Grimm's party into a frenzy, forcing them to dodge in all directions. But in such an environment, a single wrong step could land them in a spider web trap, and they could only wait to be devoured by thousands of spiders!
But fortunately, Grimm was also a Berserk Fire Wizard who had his own home turf. Once he transformed into a Balrog, the ground covered by the bright red flame barrier became his home turf.
When the flame barrier came into contact with the spider webs, it was as if water and fire were in the same furnace.
The flames burned fiercely, scorching most of the spider webs and burning them to ashes. The Hunter Spider Tula's way to resist the flame barrier was to self-destruct!
Thousands of strange spiders the size of a fist crawled out from various dark corners and jumped into the flame barrier, then violently self-destructed before their bodies were incinerated.
These little spiders were tiny magical creatures that were immersed in magical energy. Although the power of their self-destruction was not great, it was not weaker than a 20 degree Fireball. When their numbers increased, a few little spiders self-destructed at the same time. Although some of the extra energy would dissipate after the energy shock and superposition, the combined force would reach an astonishing level.
Ten little spiders could easily reach 130 degrees, which Grimm could only achieve with his full strength!
And there were more than ten little spiders in front of him. Just by looking at the floor, rock walls, stone pillars, and ceiling of the spider hall, there were tens of thousands of little spiders moving about. It was very likely that the number of little spiders had already exceeded three digits.
The turbulence formed by the violent magic energy severely damaged the stability of the Flame Barrier, causing it to rapidly shrink from its original coverage of 100 meters. Once the flame barrier collapsed, Grimm's party would have to face the ferocious little spiders.
Howler, Rotted One, and Anguja all retreated to Grimm's side, using concentrated firepower to repel Tula's fierce attacks. Grimm, on the other hand, cleared out four large-scale Fire Spells in the Secret Voodoo Poison Scroll in one go.
Crimson Flame Storm!
Meteor Rain!
Doomsday Volcano!
World-burning Fire Cloud!
One had to admit that the might of the little spiders' self-detonation was indeed heaven-defying, but it was very difficult for the Demon Hunter Spider Tula to dominate the Black Grove with this alone. The main reason was that the little spiders' magic resistance and defense were too low!
Perhaps because of the mutation, most of the organs in the body of the little magic spiders were used to store magic energy, so their magic resistance and physical defense were far lower than that of small monsters of the same strength.
As a result, Grimm cast a large-scale fire spell, and the little spiders that had not charged into the fire barrier were immediately annihilated. Their self-destruction also caused a chain reaction. A Crimson Flame Storm with an attack power of 90 degrees was thrown out, and the dense explosions around the spider hall became a mess.
Even Tula, who was hiding in the shadows, was dragged down by the little spiders beside it, and was ruthlessly blown up twice. Even the Demon Hunter Spider Tula that was hiding in the dark was dragged down by the little Demon Spider beside it and was blasted twice.
Most of the stone pillars supporting the hall were blown apart, and the surrounding walls were filled with cracks.
Finally, the ceiling could no longer bear the burden, and with a series of cracking sounds, a large area collapsed. Finally, the roof, which could not bear the weight, collapsed on a large scale with a series of cracking sounds that made one's teeth ache and legs go weak.
If the Howler had not stepped forward and used its gigantic stone body to form a small barrier for them, Grimm and the others would have become the victims of this disaster.
But after this calamity, Howler had finally exhausted the elemental energy in its magic puppet crystal core. The rocks on its body disintegrated, and it collapsed into a pile of rubble, no longer moving. Although it did not die, it would not be able to participate in this battle!
When Grimm and his party crawled out of the ground with great difficulty, before they could find any traces of Tula, a huge figure suddenly burst out of the rubble around them. Terrifying spider legs that were as sharp as knives enveloped them with a shrill sound.
Without saying a word, Grimm instantly used a Flame Leap to escape from the scene. The Three-headed Hound Anguja and the Rotting Ones, who were left behind, were instantly skewered by the sneak attack of the Hunting Spiders.
The larger Anguja had its head chopped off, and its bowl-sized mouth spat out a pillar of purplish-black blood. Its body was also pierced by two spider limbs, and it could not help but let out a mournful howl as it was lifted into the air.
As for the Rotting Ones, its defenses were even weaker. It was chopped into two by Tula's huge pincers, and turned into a puddle of sticky rotting liquid on the ground. The undigested demon spider carapace and limbs that the Rotting Ones had swallowed earlier flowed all over the ground. It was a disgusting sight to behold.
With a flash of red light, Grimm appeared beside a stalagmite 30 metres away. He turned around and silently observed the Hunting Spiders Tula, who had used its limbs to pick up Anguja and was flaunting its strength.
A strange creaking sound rang out.
Tula's two limbs intertwined, and the coarse carapace on Anguja's body moved slightly. The Three-headed Hound's miserable howl immediately increased by an octave.
"… You actually dared to barge into my lair. Now you know how powerful I am!" Although Tula was fiercely lecturing Anguja, its complex compound eyes of various sizes were staring unblinkingly at Grimm, who was acting strangely in the distance.
None of the fellows present were its match, but this human Magus, whose strength fluctuated between strong and weak at times, emitted a deathly aura that made its heart palpitate.
Grimm's tall body was burning with raging flames, but he still maintained his Balrog transformation. He did not attempt to unseal the Balrog's heart. Even though his pupils that flickered with blue radiance stared at the completely vigilant Tula, his mind was rapidly communicating with a certain strange existence.
Just as Tula was about to launch a sneak attack on him, a spiritual force had suddenly appeared and lightly touched his senses. After communicating with the other party, the first thing it did was to warn him about the old spider's sneak attack.
Otherwise, he would not have been able to detect Tula's existence with his spiritual force when he had just broken free. If the sneak attack had succeeded, it was inevitable that he would have suffered some serious injuries.
"Do you believe me now?" The mysterious spiritual force continued to communicate with him, "I've helped you, so you have to help me too. I don't need you to do anything else. All you need to do is force that damned old spider to retreat 30 metres to the side, and I'll do my best to help you kill it … "
Grimm was speechless.
However, according to the A.I. Chip's database, this mysterious spiritual force seemed to match a certain fellow. If it was really 'him', then everything that had happened could be explained.
Grimm quickly came to an agreement with the other party, and made his move without hesitation.
The Rotted One that was lying limp in front of Tula suddenly glowed with a green aura. Two smaller Rotted Ones rose from the ground and began to spit strong corrosive acid at Tula.
Grimm held his staff in his left hand and the secret voodoo scroll in his right. With the sound of pages flipping, a dense red light flashed, and a violent chain of fireballs flew towards Tula. This chain of fireballs was something that had been stored in the secret voodoo scroll. Grimm used the staff in his hand to create an explosive fireball, which he threw towards Tula's left.
He did not care about the existence of the three-headed devil hound, Angua, in this attack!
If Tula had used Angua to block this wave of attacks, he would not have been able to avoid being affected by the shockwaves.
He had long since calculated that Magi were heartless fellows, and using his subordinates to threaten them was akin to courting death. Therefore, the six limbs under Tula's body moved rapidly and moved horizontally to the side. At the same time, it raised its chelicerae and smashed the heavily injured Anguja towards the fireball on its flank.
According to Tula's usual habits, he should have charged forward and forcefully resisted the other party's attacks. He would then get close to Grimm and engage in close combat with him. With the terrifying multiple attacks that he had honed for hundreds of years, it was worth it to exchange a small injury for a chance to kill his opponent.
However, Tula was still wary of the powerful spell book in Grimm's hands.
A spell book that could instantly cast so many powerful spells must have long since reached the level of a magic tool. Before figuring out how many spells were stored inside, Tula wouldn't rashly risk his life against that human Magus!
Moreover, the human Magus had suddenly taken the initiative to attack, and Tula felt that there was some sort of conspiracy going on.
As expected, after a series of attacks, the human Magus's body was suddenly engulfed in flames, and he disappeared within the flames.
Flame Leap!
Damn it, where is he going to jump?
Is he going to coordinate with the Elemental Puppet and attack, or is he going to rush over and fight?
With unease and doubt, Tula's two pairs of chelicerae at the front of its body stood up high, and they were like four sharp blades that sealed off every inch of space around it. Using the other two pairs of legs, Tula began to retreat rapidly, and quickly moved away from its original position.
However, just as its enormous body was retreating, a pile of rubble at the edge of the cave suddenly exploded. A slightly slender and slender figure quickly rushed out, fiercely throwing itself onto its thick shell.
There's still an enemy?
The sudden appearance of this enemy scared the living daylights out of Tula.
It frantically shook its body, wishing to shake off the other party. However, the other party didn't seem to mind whether or not it would be injured at all, actually swimming up its massive carapace along its back. Then, it endured the pain of the thick and hard bristles scratching its tender skin, throwing itself straight at Tulla's head.
Tula the Demon Hunting Spider was horrified!
