Fantasy Lord: I Have a Moving Castle-Chapter 103 - 46: Level 9, Skeleton Widow Spider_2

So, his visit today at least had to include a meeting with this minor boss to determine its Challenge Level before he could plan his next move.

While Char was pondering in secret, suddenly, a huge disturbance came from ahead, and at the same time, the Thunder Night Dragon issued a battle-ready dragon roar.

Immediately afterwards, a blue-purple light flared up, and a strange hissing sound came from afar.

"Fierce Sword Firefly, pull me up!"

Char immediately said, and the next second, Fierce Sword Firefly flew over, Char grabbed its foot, and then rose into the air.

In the distance, a giant spider was launching an attack on the Thunder Night Dragon, its size was not as astonishing as the Thorny Bone Snake, but it was not small either.

In the bare forest, it looked like a small, moving building, its body covered with various undead bones, while the few exposed parts of its body were shriveled and lackluster, displaying its undead characteristics.

Around the giant spider revolved six black orbs of death, each containing a white skull spider pattern, and to Char’s shock, these death orbs were able to keep up with the attacks from the Thunder Night Dragon. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

The blue-purple thunderbolts slashed by the Thunder Night Dragon were always blocked by the death orbs, their speed so fast, they seemed to teleport.

With Char’s eyesight, he simply couldn’t catch the process.

He could only see the blue-purple electric light flashing on the claws of the Thunder Night Dragon, and then see the death orbs teleporting, shifting a certain distance, and colliding with the blue-purple electric light.

As for how many death orbs teleported? It completely depended on the strength of the Thunder Night Dragon’s lightning attack. If the attack was weaker, only one death orb would block it, but if stronger, two or three death orbs would teleport to block it.

He hadn’t seen the scene when the Thunder Night Dragon fired its Thunder Annihilation Cannon, but judging from the undamaged appearance of the Undead Giant Spider, there was no doubt that even the Thunder Annihilation Cannon was caught by those astonishingly fast and reactive death orbs.

Compared to the Thunder Night Dragon, the attacks from the Praying Light Sword were a bit more effective.

This time, the Praying Light Sword had unleashed the Dawn Light, a morning-like ray directly shining on the giant spider, causing strands of black mist to continually emanate from the spider’s surface, being purified steadily.

However, the Level of the Praying Light Sword was much lower than that of the giant spider, so even though it hit, it couldn’t cause much damage.

In Char’s view, a light screen quickly rose from the body of the giant spider.

[Skeleton Widow Spider]

[Skills]: Spider Aura (Level 4)...

[Challenge Level]: 9

[Introduction]: One of the rulers of this Land of Undead, after the Undead Mages were sealed and the powerful ones either died or were wounded, the Skeleton Widow Spider became one of the most powerful beings nearby. Over the years, its Strength has grown even stronger.

’Level 9!’

A shock went through Char’s mind.

This time the system hadn’t fully displayed the monster’s Skills and the introduction was also very brief, almost not providing any substantive useful information. This was the first time such a situation had occurred.

But more than this, Char’s main concern was the Challenge Level of the Skeleton Widow Spider.

The worst of his previous guesses had come true; the Challenge Level of the Skeleton Widow Spider had actually reached Level 9.

"Fierce Sword Firefly! Go help the Thunder Night Dragon and Praying Light Sword, but also make sure to protect yourself! We’re retreating now!" Char immediately told Fierce Sword Firefly.

Since they had achieved their goal, naturally, it was time to retreat.

Just then, Char saw the Praying Light Sword’s speed suddenly surge, turning into a trail of streaming light as it flew forward, surprisingly leaving the Thunder Night Dragon behind and fleeing!

’This...’

Char was utterly shocked, having not anticipated that the Praying Light Sword would do something like this.

Fierce Sword Firefly was clearly frantic too, it quickly set Char down and then flew towards the Skeleton Widow Spider.

"Retreat!"

Though Char, who had returned to the Frost Crystal White Deer, was worried about the safety of the Thunder Night Dragon and Fierce Sword Firefly, he still ordered a retreat immediately.

He didn’t even ask the Clover Mantis to go and help.

Previously, when dealing with the Thorny Bone Snake, Char hadn’t let the Clover Mantis participate in the fight, let alone mention that the skeleton widow spider’s level was even higher than the Thorny Bone Snake’s.

This was not a battle for the Clover Mantis to be involved in.

The group retreated as fast as possible.

Thankfully, both the Thunder Night Dragon and the Fierce Sword Firefly could fly, giving them an aerial advantage. Even if they couldn’t win, escaping was still possible; otherwise, Char would never have brought them on this adventure.

From a distance, seeing the Praying Light Sword suddenly flying toward their rear, the skeleton widow spider instantly dropped the Thunder Night Dragon, turned around, its mouthparts wide open, and fired a death ray at the Praying Light Sword.

The Praying Light Sword shifted like lightning, narrowly dodging the death ray. Just as the skeleton widow spider was about to continue its attack and shift the death ray, the Thunder Annihilation Cannon had already arrived.

Although the Spider Aura used to protect itself once again successfully blocked the Thunder Annihilation Cannon, the impact of the attack was unavoidable. Under the tremendous force, the skeleton widow spider couldn’t maintain the death ray any longer and could only watch the Praying Light Sword fly away.

Although the Praying Light Sword was the lowest level present, it had a unique skill to increase speed which, once activated, made it astonishingly fast.

The skeleton widow spider seemed to still want to chase the Praying Light Sword, but the youthful Thunder Night Dragon wouldn’t miss this opportunity and quickly deployed the Thunder Light Grid, trapping the skeleton widow spider.

At the same time, a massive flame cross slash tore through the air, as the Fierce Sword Firefly, realizing the urgency of the situation, had immediately activated "Flowing Fire Burning Body," "Fiery Flame Sword," and "Dual-blade Cross Slash," without caring about the consumption.

The Thunder Light Grid, combined with the power of the flame cross slash, finally broke through the Spider Aura’s defense and struck the skeleton widow spider.

The soul fire in all eight eyes of the skeleton widow spider flared up, followed by countless spiders suddenly crawling out from beneath it, bursting towards the Thunder Night Dragon and the Fierce Sword Firefly, not sparing even the fleeing Praying Light Sword.

Caught off guard, although the Thunder Night Dragon and the Fierce Sword Firefly tried their best to defend and dodge, they were still hit by some of the spiders.

In this round of combat, both sides suffered injuries, with neither gaining the upper hand.

However, in terms of injuries, the Thunder Night Dragon and the Fierce Sword Firefly were more severely wounded, and in terms of exhaustion, they had also expended more energy.

The skeleton widow spider again launched an attack on the Thunder Night Dragon and the Fierce Sword Firefly.

And at that moment, more Flying Undead arrived, beginning to encircle the two Magic Pets.

The situation for the two Magic Pets became perilous.

...

On the back of the deer, Char, who was rapidly retreating, sensed the ongoing battle behind him and couldn’t help but worry.

Although he had confidence in the Thunder Night Dragon and the Fierce Sword Firefly, given they only needed to delay the enemy and not engage in a fierce battle, they shouldn’t be in danger.

After all, the skeleton widow spider couldn’t fly, whereas both the Thunder Night Dragon and the Fierce Sword Firefly could.

It wasn’t long before Char and the others had run out of the Land of Undead, and soon after, the Thunder Night Dragon and the Fierce Sword Firefly also returned safely, much to Char’s quiet relief.

However, both Magic Pets bore wounds, several of which emitted an aura of death and were obviously poisoned.

"Clover Mantis, treat the Thunder Night Dragon and the Fierce Sword Firefly," he said.

The Clover acted with the wind, quickly treating the injuries of the Thunder Night Dragon and the Fierce Sword Firefly.

"What about the Praying Light Sword?"

The two pets gestured, indicating that the Praying Light Sword had not appeared since it left and that they had managed to distract the skeleton widow spider for a while. Seeing their own situation growing increasingly dangerous, they didn’t persist and fled at full speed.

Now, they didn’t know where the Praying Light Sword was.

"Shall we wait here a while? Given its nature as an animated object, it probably isn’t setting a trap to endanger the Thunder Night Dragon and the Fierce Sword Firefly," Freyja suggested, observing Char’s expression.

"Alright."

Char agreed, and he thought it unlikely that the Praying Light Sword was in trouble.

Its Challenge Level was only 6, yet it had survived well in the Land of Undead for many years, purifying countless Undead during that time. Its ability to preserve itself shouldn’t be so poor.

After a while, the Praying Light Sword returned, covered in spider silk, and besides the silk, it carried a gray-white stone.
