Similar to most of the magical beasts that had the strength of an official Magus, this Blood-Striped Evil Spirit Spider had relatively high intellect. In the battle with Dezerby, it was extremely intelligent, as if it had seen through Dezerby's weakness as a Magus who specialized in magic and was not adept at close combat. Thus, it made use of its shell that had astonishing defensive capabilities and charged forward without regard for the consequences. It tore at Dezerby, and occasionally let out sharp screeches to disturb Dezerby's mental state.
Faced with the crazy and cunning attacks of the Blood-Striped Evil Spirit Spider, even though Dezerby was experienced and had many tricks up his sleeves, he was still somewhat powerless. In just a few exchanges, the situation had become perilous.
At the same time, with the help of Castilla's magic staff, Connor had gotten rid of an adult Blood-Striped Evil Spirit Spider beside him. After repelling the remaining three Blood-Striped Evil Spirit Spiders, he noticed the situation around Dezerby and the appearance of the Blood-Striped Evil Spirit Spider that had the strength of an official Magus.
Although Connor was very happy to see Dezerby in trouble, it was a pity that their search party was now in an extremely dangerous situation. Including Connor himself, the slightest bit of carelessness could cause the entire party to be wiped out.
After all, no matter how good Connor was at fighting alone, it was impossible for him to survive the siege of a Blood-Striped Evil Spirit Spider and dozens of adult Blood-Striped Evil Spirit Spiders. Hence, at this moment, Connor needed Dezerby alive. Whether it was for him to block the Blood-Striped Evil Spirit Spider for him now, or for him to share some of the pressure during the escape process, Dezerby was very valuable.
Hence, seeing that Dezerby was at a disadvantage and was about to be nibbled away by the Blood-Striped Evil Spirit Spider, Connor did not leave him in the lurch. A black light flashed in his hand, and the Spear of Hades condensed in his hand, striking towards the Blood-Striped Evil Spirit Spider.
"Ka!"
The Blood-Striped Evil Spirit Spider that had just torn apart Dezerby's defense and was about to take a vicious bite out of Dezerby's body was suddenly attacked by Connor. Immediately, its hairy body swayed under the power of the Spear of Hades, and it almost fell to the ground. Seizing this opportunity, Dezerby immediately retreated three meters away and waved the magic staff in his hand again, to build an ice wall of defense for himself.
Although Connor's sneak attack, the Blood-Striped Evil Spirit Spider was forced to give up the chance to hurt Dezerby. the Spear of the Spear, it did not seem to have suffered too much damage. and the Spear of the Spear of Hades only left a scratch on. a scratch.
After being attacked, the Blood-Striped Evil Spirit Spider's tiny black eyes scanned its surroundings in confusion. However, Connor had already concealed his aura and hid among the Arbitrators who were being attacked. Since the Blood-Striped Evil Spirit Spider did not find its target, it did not think too much about it. It focused its attention on Dezerby again, and launched a new wave of attacks with a shriek.
Seeing this scene, a faint smile appeared on Connor's face. He was very particular about helping Dezerby. Although he could injure the Blood-Striped Evil Spirit Spider with his full strength, there was no doubt that he would not be able to kill the Blood-Striped Evil Spirit Spider in one fell swoop. Then, the injured Blood-Striped Evil Spirit Spider would be attracted to himself. In that case, Dezerby would be overjoyed, while Connor would be on the verge of tears.
After all, Connor was a Dark Sorcerer, and the Church of the Storm was an organization that used extreme policies against Dark Sorcerers to prove its legitimacy. There was an irreconcilable contradiction between the two. Now, Connor was only pressured by the Church of the Storm, as well as their common enemy, Reyes, so he and the Church of the Storm were mutually exploiting each other.
After this incident, if Connor could survive, he would probably be at war with the Church of the Storm. Therefore, no matter how one looked at it, it was impossible for Connor to take on the Blood-Striped Evil Spirit Spider for the sake of Dezerby.
Even so. However, if Connor did not use his full strength, he would not be able to injure the Blood-Striped Evil Spirit Spider and help Dezerby. The power of the Spear of Hades that Connor used just now was just right. It could not only stop the Blood-Striped Evil Spirit Spider from hurting Dezerby, but it would also not attract this troublesome Blood-Striped Evil Spirit Spider to his side.
After seeing that Dezerby was not in danger for the time being, Connor focused on the overall situation. Although he did not get along well with the Church of the Storm, at least at this moment, he, Dezerby, and the few Adjudicators of the Church of the Storm were on the same boat under the threat of the Evil Spirit Spiders. If this boat sank, although these Sorcerers of the Church of the Storm would definitely die, Connor Ferguson would also suffer.
"Ah!"
Just as Connor was observing the overall situation, the fierce battle between the Adjudicators and the Evil Spirit Spiders took a turn that he did not want to see. An Adjudicator with the cultivation of an intermediate Sorcerer-Apprentice with a full beard blinded one of the Evil Spirit Spiders' eyes with the Wind Blade Technique was suddenly attacked by another Evil Spirit Spider. The Adjudicator's head was bitten, and he let out a painful howl.
Before he could finish his miserable howl, the Evil Spirit Spider, which loved to suck the brains of Sorcerers, quickly gnawed off half of his head. The Adjudicator immediately lost his breath and fell to the ground. His body was eaten by the other Evil Spirit Spiders.
Seeing this situation, Connor, who was observing the overall situation, could not help but feel anxious. He knew very well that it was fortunate that these Sorcerer-Apprentices on his side were the Adjudicators of the Church of the Storm who had rich battle experience, strong willpower, and were armed to the teeth. Otherwise, if it were another group of people, they would have been defeated by the Evil Spirit Spiders that were three to four times their number.
However, even if they were the Adjudicators of the Church, under the situation where each of them had to deal with two to three Evil Spirit Spiders, they were already at the end of their rope. Now, the death of the bearded Adjudicator could very well be the last straw that broke the camel's back!
Just as Connor had expected, after the bearded Adjudicator died in battle, the Evil Spirit Spiders that he was in charge of immediately attacked the other Adjudicators. This directly caused the other two Adjudicators to fall into a very dangerous situation. Seeing this, Connor did not hesitate and immediately joined the battle. He restrained four Evil Spirit Spiders and reduced the pressure on the other Adjudicators of the Church.
