《Netheril’s Glory 》Chapter 97: End of the Dark Green Spider.
Advertisement
As time went by, the dark green spider became weaker and weaker. And now it didn't even have the strength to scream anymore, and the barrages of acid balls also consumed the slime on its body. The faces inside the dark spider began to shatter into pieces as the souls of the lunatic believers were burn out completely. At this stage, Punk's victory was basically decided.
But even in the face of inevitable victory, Punk did not show the slightest carelessness. He knew that this kind of alchemy product would more or less have some mechanism of dying together. So until he confirmed that the dark green spider was utterly dead and was no longer a threat to himself, Punk didn't plan to relax even a bit.
The collapsing process of the dark green spider became faster and faster. A large amount of flesh and blood began to drip from its body, and its eight eyes became dim.
Seeing that this beast was about to die, Punk decided to cut off any possibility of its self-exploding completely.
"Poor bugs, this is what you call strength? Strenth that could not even last two minutes?"
Punk looked at the dark green spider lying on the ground disdainfully and mocked mercilessly.
Unfortunately or maybe fortunately, most of the souls of these believers had almost burned out, and the remaining souls no longer had enough sanity to understand Punk's words.
"Boring trash.."
Punk shook his head and stopped talking. In his opinion, the fate of these ignorant believers was doomed from the very beginning, and there was never any other possible outcome.
"It's time to end this farce."
Punk began to prepare a more powerful imprisonment spell, which was an official-level incantation spell-"Energy Cage" that created a high-energy barrier around the target with an area of about 20 cubic meters.
Punk used mental power to lock the ground under the dark green spider's body and then released the "energy cage" spell.

A layer of pale white energy wall shining with golden runes enveloped the dark green spider. Now finally, Punk could confidently say that the threat of the spider beast was eliminated as it was nearly impossible for the exhausted dark green spider to break free from this cage, and even if it exploded itself, it would not be able to affect himself.
In this way, the terrifying beast that once had the strength of an official level powerhouse died in a cage without even the ability to scream.
Punk released three consecutive "kinetic energy bursts" and made sure that the dark green spider was completely dead. He could not help but secretly let out a sigh of relief. After all, if the enemy's boss and the dark green spider joined forces, then with this beast's careless and fearless lead, he would have most likely fall into a very disadvantaged situation in the battle. Fortunately, the enemy had no chance to join forces with the spider anymore.
Punk, after confirming the dark green spider's death, walked towards the iron gate quickly. Although it was impossible to obtain 100% accurate information through prophetic spells, but Punk was still pretty sure that the enemy was behind this iron gate.
So he really wanted No. 1 to enter first and test the water, but the injuries in its body at the beginning now became a bit serious, and Punk obviously couldn't repair it when he was still inside the enemy's lair.
"How troublesome!"
Punk frowned slightly.
"Now, what should I do about the boss behind the iron gate!"
While thinking about it, Punk slowly approached the iron gate, but his expression suddenly became strange as soon as he came close to it. He found that there was no warning formation or attacking formation engraved on the iron gate; instead, this door and the surrounding walls were engraved with five or six anti-interference formations. With the shielding of such a number of anti-interference formations, it was naturally impossible for any magical fluctuations or sounds to reach behind the iron gate.

Now Punk knew why even after he made such loud noise outside, the boss behind the iron gate had not noticed it. It was not 100% because of the effect of the silent domain, and these magic formations most likely played the biggest role.
So... now the question was, why the other party was so afraid of interruption that he even didn't hesitate to undermine the security and inscribed this many shielding formations?
Since the enemy hadn't found him, Punk was now not in a hurry and begun to carefully observe the iron gate.
On the humble iron gate, he could see some flashing lights. The anti-interference formations were engraved in this thick iron gate in a way that the formation core could be securely hidden. So Punk couldn't dismantle this formation without releasing magical fluctuations, which showed that the enemy actually didn't completely abandon the security aspect.
"Then why did the other party just create a group of weak believers and a gatekeeper that can only be considered a little tricky..."
Punk began to wonder about the reason for the enemy's lack of early warning systems.
"Wait a minute!"
Punk suddenly thought of a possibility, which was that in order to create an early warning, someone did not necessarily need to place a formation. Like in this case, wasn't there were more convenient living warning system? They could even block the enemy for a time while also giving warning. Although it was possible that it might be unhelpful in some situations, but it was indeed handy in the absence of a full-proof method.
Punk immediately understood the reason why the enemy was raising a group of beasts in his living room. He felt more and more confident with his guess:
After all, although those lunatic believers were weak in their individual strength, they could use the unknown secret method to fuse together. And the result of that fusion, the dark green spider, with the official strength, was indeed more than enough to make some loud noises even if it couldn't defeat the incoming enemy.
And if the dark green spider chose to give up on attack and defense and used all its efforts on making sounds, it was almost impossible to stop it with his current strength.
Presumably, the enemy also thought of this exact fact after knowing Punk's strength through prophetic methods. But it was a pity that the other party overlooked one crucial thing: the believer's IQ.
"I'm afraid the enemy never thought that his subordinates would just madly rush into a fight just after I provoked them a little and never even thought of sending warnings, right?"
"These poor villain bosses, why they just don't understand that evil and chaotic lunatics are not reliable? Well, at least I can take some rest."
After Punk calmly complained, he took out a bottle of juice and two pieces of bread from his pocket. Although the air in the inner cave chamber was dirty, the already hungry Punk didn't care about it. He gently pulled out the cork of the juice bottle and started to drink calmly.
"It's really delicious...... No wonder Niailan's juice is so famous...".
Punk ate his lunch while keeping a complete awareness of the surroundings, and at the same time, he began to restore his mana.
After Punk finished eating, he was already in his peak state, but even so, he still felt that the enemy behind the iron gate posed a significant threat to him.
"Anyway, after coming this far, I can't just leave without even taking a look. But the owner of this place seems to have endless schemes."
Punk dropped the empty bottle and walked to the iron gate expressionlessly. Of course, he completely disregarded No. 1's injury and ordered it to walk in front.
"Well, let me see who is the culprit behind this mess."
