On the sparkling and translucent spider silk, an extremely small spider was climbing on it.
Compared to the hair-like spider web, the tiny spider wasn't that big and it was shaking like smoke, as if it could be blown away by a gust of wind.
If it wasn't for the close proximity and high concentration during the battle, Kieran wouldn't have been able to see the spider mirage that crawled out from [Mardos Arm].
But at the next moment …
As the spider moved forward along the web, its petite figure continued to grow larger, like a balloon being inflated.
The spider web was no more than 30 meters long.
But within the 30 meters, the tiny figure expanded to a thousand times its original size.
The trembling, smoke-like illusory figure became as firm as a boulder.
The sulphuric smell was gushing out.
The moon and the stars were getting dimmer and dimmer.
The figure that was emitting blazing brilliance like the sun also dimmed.
Because something more dazzling appeared.
A river!
A river that pierced through the heavens and the earth, reaching the heavens and reaching the netherworld.
The river was red.
Magma rumbled.
The spider mirage that dived into the river was stirring up the entire sulphuric river.
Some illusory and surreal figures were faintly discernible.
There was a red one with a single horn.
There was a black one with many arms.
There was a thousand eyes and no feet.
Monsters!
He was a powerful and terrifying monster!
But …
All the monsters bowed down to the spider.
They lowered their noble heads and used their bodies as stairs for the spider to slowly walk up to the figure that was emitting light.
"Hell Fiend Spider!"
The insufferably arrogant figure shouted in panic.
He felt like he saw the most unbelievable and terrifying scene.
"So it's …"
Kacha!
The figure muttered to himself as though he had understood something, but before he finished his sentence, Mardos bit his head without hesitation.
The shining figure's head was crushed by the Hell Fiend Spider's pincers.
Then, the figure's entire body was devoured.
It was fast.
The process was simple.
There was no resistance, no twists and turns.
It was as if Mardos was having a meal in a restaurant, devouring the remnant image of the deity bit by bit.
The sun, moon, and stars disappeared.
The Skyfall River had vanished.
The half-illusion and half-reality environment disappeared.
Once again, the streets of Hologest Port were filled with living corpses.
Except for one thing.
Kieran looked at the spider that was only the size of a coin in his palm.
It was no longer an illusion.
He was no longer floating.
It was a real existence, a spider.
When Kieran stretched out his finger and gently touched it, he felt as though it was a solid object.
"Real?"
Kieran looked at the little spider in astonishment.
This was not the first time he had seen virtual images appear on special equipment, but he had never thought that these virtual images could become real.
Furthermore, they were telepathically connected.
Joy.
The little spider expressed its emotions to Kieran.
Then, before Kieran could reply, Kieran eagerly climbed back into [Mardos Arm]. The whole process was like a drop of water merging with another drop of water.
It was not abrupt at all.
However, from Kieran's perspective, it was more like a way to return to the nest.
"This … This?"
Kieran was completely shocked by the scene before him, he didn't even know what to say.
The knowledge that he possessed couldn't even understand what kind of power could turn an illusory object into real flesh and blood.
Though, his stingy and greedy instincts kicked in.
He unconsciously looked at [Mardos Arm].

...
"[Mardos Lair]?"
Looking at the brand new wristguard, it didn't look like much but its attributes had a drastic change. All the skills were enhanced and the new special effect appeared, it was telling Kieran that [Mardos Lair] was different from before.
Especially [Hell Fiend Shadow]!
When Kieran saw the special effect, he unconsciously thought of the monsters that appeared in the sulfur river.
Of course, what concerned Kieran the most was the changes in the remarks.
"Gradually changing this …"
"Which means I will recover it?"
Kieran thought in his heart but his movements weren't slow at all.
He hadn't forgotten what he was here for.
To save people!
However, when he easily broke through the encirclement of the living dead and dashed into Wine Glass Inn, he was stunned when he saw the weakened Charles and the magic circle before him.
"I made it!
Stand inside and wait for that guy to explain everything to you! "
The alchemist smiled weakly.
The smile that didn't have any malicious intentions and the fact that Charles was teaching him didn't make Kieran object. After he identified the magic circle before him, he determined it was similar to a teleportation magic circle. Kieran walked into the magic circle with heavy doubts.
The light shone brightly and Kieran covered his eyes.
He clearly heard a sentence in his ears.
"What nonsense!"
The sentence made Kieran raise a brow but before he had the chance to ask, the weightless feeling appeared again.
When everything returned to normal, Kieran had arrived at an unknown place from Wine Glass Inn.
A slightly chubby yellow and white cat was yawning at him.
"Meow, too slow!"
