Chapter 189
.............................
.............................
Spider Zi, who had long been tired of this maze that he had been unable to leave since he was born, wanted to see the outside world. After his plan failed, he finally left with Asher feeling decadent and frustrated.
Although Ash actually didn't really want to leave the maze, he still followed her for the time being... just like walking around with spiders in the sun.
At the exit of the maze, there is a castle built by humans.
Due to the lack of barrier and strengthening magic, after they discovered Spider-Man and instinctively launched an attack, Spider-Man was dissatisfied with his counterattack... and the city wall was destroyed by magic in the blink of an eye.
Not long after leaving the maze with Ash, Spider Zi seemed to suddenly sense something. He shivered suddenly and stopped, casting his gaze in the direction of the maze. Then he shook his head vigorously and squeaked twice. Just pick up the pace and keep walking forward.
This series of actions made Ya Xiu confused. At first, he thought that Spider Zi was in love with his family, so he was reluctant to leave, but... his doubts were soon answered.
Not long after this man left the ground, he was keenly aware that the ground began to shake violently.
The vibrations moved from far to near, rolling on the ground like muffled thunder.
He instinctively turned his head and looked in the direction they came from, his mouth wide open in confusion.
They saw countless large and small spiders swarming towards them in the billowing smoke.
Among this group of spiders, a huge white spider monster is particularly eye-catching. Its huge body is like a moving hill, exuding a frightening aura.
Beside it, there are three large spider monsters as leaders. Although they are not as tall as the white spider monsters, they are still very large. Every step they take on the ground can make the earth tremble slightly.
Following closely behind were densely packed small spiders of all kinds, like a tide, gathering into a mighty army.
Wherever this army of spiders passed, smoke and dust rose up all over the sky, as if a dark cloud was pressing towards them.
"Are these...are your sisters? Are they seeing you off?" Ash had roughly understood that spiders seemed to be all female, and he subconsciously looked at the spiders beside him while teasing.
"...I don't know, someone I don't know, or... I don't know the spider." Spider Zi didn't understand but could probably guess what he was talking about. He turned his head awkwardly and avoided Ya. Xiu looked at him, trying to pretend that all this had nothing to do with him.
But Ya Xiu was not that easy to deceive. He stared at Spider Zi closely. He always felt that Spider Zi must have something to do with the appearance of these spiders: "Hey, why are you avoiding my sight again, and... your actions are so suspicious?" ?”
"Why do you keep staring at a cute and harmless spider like me? What can be wrong with me? I'm just a little spider who likes to walk and bask in the sun. Hahaha! Walking is so fun! After all, humans have to bask in the sun. But now I'm not a human, I'm a spider!"
The guilty Spider Zi was basking in the sun, taking long strides, pretending to be enjoying himself, and talking as if he didn't understand anything.
She tried hard to look natural, but she couldn't hide her guilty look. She looked like a guilty human being...if you could understand her expression.
But even if it doesn't look like a guilty human being, it still smells like a guilty animal, which makes Ash couldn't help but be confused and ask:
"What did you do to offend your sisters? Or...are they really here to see you off?"
Although they said this, looking at their menacing appearance, it was obvious that they were coming with bad intentions.
"I'm sorry, I don't understand what you're saying at all, but it's true, Mom!! I'm too big to come out to play, so why don't you allow me to come out? If I come out to play, will you send someone to hunt me down?! Me He was just a little rebellious! He just refused her order to go back. We are related by blood! How can we send someone to hunt down our daughter?"
Spider-Man seemed to be explaining to Ash, but also seemed to be muttering to himself angrily: "This is simply not something a human can do! Although my mother and I are indeed neither humans!"
Halfway through, she began to find reasons for her mother again, her heart full of complaints about the sudden pursuit.
Even though she was a dependent, she relied on the ineffective skills of outsiders to directly refuse her mother's order to turn back, but she shouldn't have gone to such an extent to kill them all...although she didn't understand either.
But Ya Xiu suddenly remembered what the leader of the Earth Dragon Clan once said.
It seems... Spider Queen and Earth Dragon are bound by their masters and cannot leave the maze at will.
Could it be that it was his own fault that caused Spider to leave the normal monster ecosystem prematurely, triggering this series of changes? So you start yearning for the sky and sunshine?
Ash is a little unsure, but the current situation doesn't allow him to think too much.
"Forget it, these are not that important, and these...well, how to deal with them?"
He stopped and looked at the running spiders, but did not dodge or dodge. He also glanced at the spider, only to find that... she actually hid behind him silently.
"Good fellow, you got yourself into trouble, and you're still hiding behind me. You, a spider, don't even have the courage to take responsibility... Uh, you're full of murderous intent. It seems that you're really going to kill spiders. Now you're going to kill me even though I'm just standing by?"
When Ash was halfway through his words, he suddenly felt the killing intent of those spiders because of Spider-Girl's hiding.
Although he had long felt that they were not here to see him off, now... there was no room for detours.
Helplessly, Ash sighed lightly, raised his hands slightly, and let several dark balls of light appear beside him.
These black and purple balls of light, like mysterious floating cannons, slowly floated around him, emitting a deep and mysterious light.
"Oh! Last time I saw this thing, it had a strong penetration. Although those guys have strong magic resistance, they should..."
Before Spider-Girl finished speaking, eight balls of light suddenly shot out black and purple beams of light at the same time.
The giant white spider monster tried to resist the beam of light with its tough spider silk, but the spider silk disappeared in front of the beam of light like a fragile cotton thread.
But the giant spider monster, which was the leader and the strongest, also jumped up with a deafening roar when the light was about to touch it, and rushed into the air like a cannonball.
Its huge body drew a white arc in the sun, bringing a gust of wind, and the small spiders around that were destroyed by the light were blown all over by the airflow.
However, Ash's attack was not so easy to avoid.
Those black and purple light beams also crossed the 90-degree right angle directly, tracking the trajectory of the giant white spider.
Even if the giant white spider successfully completed the double jump in mid-air using the aerial maneuvering skills and adjusted its jumping posture, the light beam was faster and caught up with it in the blink of an eye, and attacked it from all angles, so it had no escape at all.
The next moment, the dense web of death directly hit the giant spider's body.
The giant spider monster with thick blood and high defense had huge holes in its huge body in the blink of an eye, causing black blood to spurt out like a fountain, making it scream miserably, and its huge body also lost its balance in the air, falling to the ground like a falling meteorite.
With a loud bang! !, the giant spider fell heavily to the ground, not only making the earth tremble, but also a large number of companions were directly crushed.
It struggled to stand up again, but the wounds on its body were too serious. Every movement made it suffer great pain, and under the continuous bombardment of the next beam of light, the huge body only stood up slightly, and then it shook and fell down, raising a cloud of dust.
Including those large spider monsters, all of them were in a state of having several holes in their bodies, but they struggled a little more and then stopped moving.
The other spiders saw their leader dead, and after a brief panic, they not only did not flee, but rushed towards Ash and Spider-Girl even more frantically.
But those little spiders were like chickens and dogs under the sweep of the light column, and they were instantly reduced to ashes, just like dust blown away by a gust of wind.
.....The spider army that could easily destroy a human country collapsed in the blink of an eye under the attack of this black and purple light column, and they were completely annihilated before they could even attack Ash, leaving only a battlefield full of broken limbs and arms.
Spider-Girl was completely stunned by the spectacular and terrifying scene in front of her.
She widened her eight eyes with an expression of disbelief, and each of her eyes reflected the scene of the raging black and purple light column, as if her entire soul was deeply touched by this shocking scene.
The dark purple light column was like a punishment from the gods, easily wiping out such a large army of spiders, making her body freeze in place as if cast a spell of immobilization, and each spider leg trembled slightly, which was a throbbing from the depths of the soul.
Her mouth opened wide, as if she wanted to say something, but she could only make a faint "squeak". The sound was drowned out by the noise on the battlefield, but the strong emotions contained in it could still be heard.
...............................
...............................
The light column was like a spear of the Last Judgment. Wherever the light column went, whether it was the huge white spider monster or the densely packed small spiders, they could not resist this powerful force.
But Ash looked at the spider army that was easily destroyed by himself, and there was no smugness on his face, just a simple feeling of boredom.
After all, the magic in this world has progressed very slowly....or it has not developed at all. It has always been operating according to the skills set in the system framework, and many places are seriously biased. For example...probably there is space magic but no flying magic.
In addition to the barrier in the elf land and the systematic dragon god barrier, there is not even any special personal protective magic.
In his original world, even before the development of modern defensive magic, there was special protective magic... although it would be instantly penetrated by the killing magic.
But the Dragon God barrier is only possessed by a very small number of monsters, and the opponent doesn't even have protective magic... Just relying on resistance to block it makes him feel like he is simply bullying others.
Especially these monsters are too large in size, and no matter how good their mobility is, it is difficult to avoid killing magic... Relying on physical and magic resistance to resist killing magic, unless you are at the level of the bloody military god, it is really a bit irrational.
Although even if this world can research protective magic, killing magic with strong penetration effects on both physical and magical effects should not have any effect.
"It really feels like bullying." Looking at the mess all over the ground, Ash, who felt bored, shook his head and turned away.
Of course, in fact, it's not that they are too weak, but that the opponent is too strong and the magic is too strong.
After just two steps, he noticed that Spider-Girl didn't keep up, and he turned around again suspiciously, looking at Spider-Girl who was still immersed in shock, and kicked her butt lightly. After a brief moment of distraction, Spider-Girl finally came to her senses. She hurriedly followed Ash's footsteps, but the shocking scene just now was still reverberating in her mind.
Her eyes were fixed on Ash, with a fiery and determined light flashing in her eyes, which was brighter than the sun... It seemed that at this moment, she once again found the meaning of her existence and the direction of her life.
That is to keep climbing towards the peak of power represented by Ash. This idea has been deeply imprinted in her soul, but...
"--Rather than how to catch up with Ash, let's think about what to do with mom first?" The parallel consciousness in her head suddenly interrupted her feelings and reminded her of the most important thing at the moment, causing Spider-Girl to lightly hammer her palm (scythe): "Yes, we must think of a way, after all, mom is quite angry now."
While following Ash, Spider-Girl was thinking with a frown, and it didn't take too long... She simply followed the channel that connected the consciousnesses and let one of her parallel consciousnesses run over, to her mother's spirit - a loving mother and a filial daughter.
"Well~ Although I don't know what will happen specifically, there will always be a way after passing through, right?"
In the spiritual world, Spider-Girl watched her three consciousnesses crawling towards the other end of the channel, even though she had no idea what to do specifically.
But! It's always good to have a momentum and an action!
"The result after that depends on God's will, and then..." Spider-Girl, who regained consciousness, flew directly to Ash's back and started to chatter: "I want to eat delicious food! That scene just now really scared me, let's eat something delicious together~!!"
"...Sure enough, you are so noisy. I should have let those spiders fight with you."
"Hey! You agree, right? I know you agree! In this case, let's make a deal, no quibbling, no denial!"
"...Speaking of which, could the owner of the spider and the owner of the earth dragon be the same person?" Ash turned his head to look at the spider head on his shoulder, but Spider-Girl, who met his eyes, excitedly said, "Oh! Do you understand?! Do you understand!"
"...Forget it, it's a waste of time to ask you."
The spider squeaked at his face, making Ash's mouth twitch slightly, so he simply gave up. This question lacked practical meaning.
Although the two sides could not have a normal conversation, after a long time of getting along, Ash had already figured out Spider-Girl's behavior habits.
From her constantly shaking limbs and the special "squeak" sounds she made from time to time, Ash knew that she was probably in the mood for delicious food.
Recalling that he had indeed carried Spider-Girl on his back to enjoy the food alone before, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty, thinking that it was indeed not moral to do so.
In order to make up for it, he decided to go to Galen Territory, the human gathering place closest to the exit of the maze, where there must be many delicacies that can satisfy Spider-Girl.
...............................
...............................
Walking on the long field, surrounded by endless grasslands, the breeze blew, and the grass waves rose and fell with the wind, like a green ocean, which was unexpectedly pleasing to the eye, making Spider-Girl shake her head and look like she was enjoying it.
But at this moment, there was a sound of wheels rolling behind him. Ash looked back and saw a carriage slowly approaching.
Although the carriage is not gorgeous, the carriage is surprisingly exquisite. The owner is either rich or noble.
There are four cavalry guards around the carriage. They are wearing shiny armor and watching the surroundings with serious expressions.
"Ah, nobles? But why do nobles still use horses to pull carriages when they are in a magical world? Wouldn't it be more convenient to use monsters? Too ordinary! Too unmagical!"
Spider-girl, who had been lying on Ash's back and was too lazy to walk, looked back after hearing the sound. Suddenly, as if she was upset with someone, she waved her sickle-like forelimbs and kept "squeaking" in her mouth.
".... Don't eat people." Ash felt the fluctuations in Spider-girl's emotions and warned in a low voice, but Spider-girl had other concerns: "Should I hide? It's not good to be seen?"
"It just so happens that I'm too lazy to walk, and flying is too conspicuous... Let's take a ride."
Although they knew that they couldn't communicate with Spider-Girl, they had gotten used to talking to themselves after living together for a long time.
Ash walked towards the carriage without any hesitation, talking to himself.
The escorting cavalrymen didn't pay much attention to the boy at first.
But when their eyes fell on Spider-Girl lying behind Ash, they became nervous instantly. They clenched their weapons, their eyes full of vigilance, and the warhorses also felt the nervousness of their masters and pawed their hooves anxiously.
The driver of the carriage was a middle-aged man with blue hair, who looked like a butler.
When he saw Ash coming towards the carriage, he immediately stood up and shouted angrily: "Who are you? What do you want to do?!"
"I want to take a ride." Ash said his purpose calmly, but the butler refused without a second thought: "Get out of the way! This is the lord's car!"
"Sorry, I'm not looking for your opinion." Ash smiled helplessly, shook his head, and then continued to walk towards the carriage without any intention of stopping.
"Protect the master and..." Seeing this, the butler hurriedly shouted loudly, asking the guards to prepare to take action.
"Shut up, get out of the way."
Before the butler finished speaking, Ash's eyes flashed, and there seemed to be a powerful magic in his sight.
Everyone did not resist and was controlled by mental magic.
The guards and their horses who were about to rush up to support also stopped all their actions without exception.
Even the butler seemed to have lost consciousness, sitting back in his seat woodenly, his eyes becoming empty.
"——What happened...?!" The panicked voice of the lord came from the carriage, he trembled with his hands, and carefully looked out.
Ash ignored his panic, silently opened the carriage door and walked in.
This scene made the lord even more flustered. He hurriedly hugged his wife and daughter tightly behind him, and shouted fiercely: "You...what do you want to do? What's wrong with them?"
His voice trembled a little because of fear, and his eyes were full of fear of the unknown and worry about his family.
"Don't worry, I don't have any bad intentions, I just control their minds temporarily, and they will return to normal after a while."
Ash sat down on the chair of the carriage carelessly, looking at the frightened family of three opposite, and waved his hand indifferently: "As I said before, I just don't want to leave, I just want to take a ride, you don't have to care about me, after all, I'm not a bad person."
