Chapter 1047 Turning Against the Eyes (Ⅱ)
If someone had to protect him, Holden would rather fight with an ordinary friend like Ryan than his sister Audrey - the latter situation would make his self-esteem very uncomfortable.
The boys around said that his sister was beautiful, elegant and cute, but in Holden's eyes, Audrey was actually just average.
As a woman, she is too tall, not petite enough, and her temper is even more domineering.
He looked left and right, but he couldn't tell, how elegant and cute was his sister?
Sometimes he even felt that even his mother didn't take care of him very much. Instead, it was this elder sister who kept on controlling herself all day long, worrying about things that had nothing to do with her. It was really annoying...
Audrey was still a little worried, but she couldn't help her younger brother's insistence, and the other companions did need her support more than her younger brother, so she took a "shield of piety" on him and told him to be more careful, carrying the big shield and Baojian hurriedly ran out of the area surrounded by the "Wind Wall Technique".
However, neither Ryan nor the Zion siblings noticed that on the cliff next to them, there was a deformed half-human, half-spider figure that was clinging to the steep cliff with eight long spider legs. Under the cover of the shadow, Leaning over to peek at the movement below.
Watching Miss Paladin's back gradually go away, the spider elf twitched the corners of its mouth and let out a silent grin. With its eight long, curved legs, it suddenly stepped on the cliff with all its strength, and rushed towards Holden like a cloud of black clouds.
Holden took care of lighting, singing and shooting, and had no time to pay attention to the movement above his head.
Ryan, on the other hand, was more vigilant. He noticed the shadow flashing in the air, looked up, and rushed to Mr. Poet without hesitation, pushing him away with all his strength.
Holden was pushed by him and almost fell down. Before he understood the situation, the spider spirit had already fallen from the sky and landed on the position where he had just stood.
The spider elf flew into the air, snorted angrily, and suddenly saw Ryan standing in front of him, trying to turn around and run away, so he sneered and pounced on him, pushed the short and thin young mage to the ground, grabbed the collar, raised it.
The accident happened so suddenly that Holden was stunned for a moment before he suddenly realized that he was just about to be attacked by surprise.
Thanks to Ryan who sacrificed his life in time to save him and pushed him away at this critical moment, he was lucky enough to escape the poisonous hands of the spider elf, but Ryan himself was captured by the monster.
Holden was anxious and angry, pointed the sword in his left hand at the spider elf, pressed the trigger of the pistol with the index finger of his right hand, aimed the gun at the monster's chest, and yelled:
"Let go of Ryan!"
The spider elf was dazed by the light from the dagger, and quickly lowered his head to avoid the light.
He held on to Ryan with his right hand, hurriedly took out a bottle of black medicine from the storage bag on his waist with his left hand, bit the cork and pulled it out, and poured the medicine down his throat in one breath.
After taking the "Shadow Cloak" potion, the spider elf felt that his brand new body could withstand the light, and his soul was different from those native dark elves, never afraid of the sun, so he proudly raised his head and looked at him coldly. The angry poet opposite.
The moment the two people's eyes met, Holden couldn't help but widen his eyes and exclaimed.
"It's you, Arnold!"
The half-human, half-spider monster on the opposite side was not Arnold Laval they were planning to rescue. However, the man's complexion had turned dark, and he was attached to the back of a huge and ferocious tarantula from the waist down, looking a bit nondescript.
Holden heard from Joan earlier that Arnold had become a spider elf, and he still felt incredible, and even had a little fantasy, hoping that Joan's divination results were not accurate.
However, this familiar yet unfamiliar monster that appeared in front of his eyes completely shattered his fantasy and made him feel at a loss.
The old man reunited, and there was an imperceptible throbbing on Arnold's face.
He looked at Holden, then at the young mage who was holding it tightly in his hands, and his eyes fell on Ryan's face that had turned blue from suffocation.
The pain on this face made Arnold's heart tingle inexplicably, and he couldn't help relaxing his fingers a little so that Ryan could take a breath.
"Arnold! Let go of Ryan and wake up quickly!" Holden called urgently.
Spider Arnold turned his head and glanced at him. As soon as his heart was shaken, the spiritual shackles imposed on him by the hostess were activated, forcing him to let go of his nostalgia, grabbed Ryan, and blocked Holden from pointing his gun at him.
At this time, Angel and Lowry also noticed the change here, and hurried over.
"Arnold! What's wrong with you?"
Although Angel had prepared for the worst after learning of Joan's prophecy, he still couldn't help being shocked when he saw Arnold turning into a spider elf.
Lowry patted Angel on the shoulder, signaling him not to yell, so as not to irritate Arnold, who was obviously emotionally unstable.
Mr. Pastor took off the holy emblem hanging around his neck, wrapped the chain around his wrist, prayed in a low voice, handed his rifle to Angel for safekeeping, raised his arms high, and faced the spider with bare hands like this. Hua Arnold went.
Spider Arnold looked at Lowry, with pain and struggle appearing alternately in his eyes, and suddenly roared sharply.
"Don't come near me!"
"Arnold, what are you afraid of?" Lowry stopped, "I have no weapons in my hands, no hostility in my heart, my friend, what do you have to fear about me?"
"I don't know..." Arnold pulled his hair in pain, and said with difficulty, "Don't come here...don't force me to hurt you!"
"You are not afraid of me, Arnold, what you are afraid of is the evil will in your heart, afraid that she will encourage you to hurt me." Mr. Pastor said softly.
"Stop it! Damn it!"
Two diametrically opposed wills are fighting fiercely in the mind of Arnold, one will order him to kill the best friend in front of him, but the other will prevent him from committing murder.
The spider Arnold had a splitting headache. In order to get rid of this soul-torn pain, he retreated instinctively, trying to escape.
"stop!"
Lowry took a step forward, held up the holy emblem, and activated the 1st ring "command technique" with majestic words.
"Put down Ryan, my friend, come back to me, and I will try to lift the curse for you!"
The magical energy was like an invisible sharp arrow, piercing Arnold's head, forcing him to obey Lowry's orders.
For a moment, the spell seemed to take effect, and Arnold's arm slowly moved down, as if to release Ryan.
At the last moment, however, it was the evil will that Claudia Bellamy had imposed on him that prevailed and lifted Lane up again and clung to him.
