The Secret of the Demonic Spider Knights

"Puff! Puff!"

As the sound of a sharp blade piercing through flesh rang out!

The two Demon Spider Knights guarding Stephania lowered their heads and looked in disbelief at the black blade tip that had pierced through their chests.

One of them was on the verge of death, but he managed to turn his head and looked at Stephanie behind him with a confused look on his face.

"Your Highness, why do you do this?"

The night elf man who was attacked by Richard at the front looked terrified and said, "Your Highness Shadra, you actually betrayed Goddess Rose! You..."

At this moment, there were still a few drops of splattered blood on Stephanie's beautiful face. After she licked a drop of blood from the corner of her mouth with her flexible tongue, the smile on her face became even more weird.

This scene immediately made the Demon Spider Knight feel a piercing chill all over his body!

Suddenly, the ground beneath Stephanie's feet exploded, and the huge reaction force pushed her whole body, like an arrow shot from a bow, straight towards the opponent!

The injured Demon Spider Knight was about to turn around and dodge, but the severe pain in the wound on his abdomen slowed him down.

"Puff!"

A pair of blade arms stabbed into the opponent's chest at the same time.

One hit the heart, and the other hit the lungs, both were fatal injuries!

The well-made knight armor of the Demon Spider Knight was like thin paper in front of the extremely sharp blade arm, and was easily pierced through.

With a little force, Stephania lifted the Demon Spider Knight, who was over 1.9 meters tall, off the ground!

He looked at the other person's face with a smile and said, "Goddess Rose? No. I only obey my master now, hahaha!"

The dying Demon Spider Knight had a look of confusion in his painful eyes.

Richard walked out of the dense forest at the right time and looked at Stephanie with great admiration.

If it weren't for Stephanie's two fatal backstabs, if they had chosen to fight head-on, although they could have eliminated the three opponents, it would definitely not be as easy as it is now.

However, Richard did not stop his actions. Instead, he continued to cast the Slowness and Weakness spells, and combined with his hatred, he killed the remaining three demon spiders one by one.

In a short while, they were all killed by the hatred.

Richard opened the panel and saw three prompts in a row:

[Gained 4386 energy points.]

Easily take over 12,000 energy points.

good!

Hey! Crystal is still sleeping?

Ever since absorbing the soul of the high-level spider lady Shadra, Crystal has been unusually sleepy and seems to have entered a period of rapid growth.

Richard had a hunch that the crystal would soon fall asleep again and transform into the next stage - maturity.

I wonder what new surprises the mature Crystal will bring him.

"Wake up, Crystal, there's a feast coming!" Richard said to Crystal in his mind.

"Um, Dad, what's wrong?" Richard seemed to be able to imagine the other party's sleepy look from Crystal's voice.

"It's time for a feast!"

"Wow! It smells so good! It's my favorite spider! Thanks, Dad!" Crystal, who was originally yawning, immediately became alert and said in surprise.

Suddenly, a crystal spider the size of a fist quickly crawled out from Richard's arms and rushed straight towards the corpses of the three demon spiders!

Several strands of pure soul energy slowly poured into Richard's spiritual sea, transforming Richard's qualifications bit by bit.

Ever since his mental power reached the limit of a third-level wizard apprentice, Richard only used the mental power transmitted from the crystal to speed up the recovery of his own mental power.

What he values ​​most is that bit of pure soul energy.

You can constantly improve your qualifications.

Little by little, it adds up to a lot!

Ultimately, he believes that quantitative change will lead to qualitative change!

As the crystal crawled into the bodies of the three members of the Demon Spider Knights one after another, a series of dynamic images came from the crystal and appeared in Richard's mind.

What impressed Richard the most were the pictures that the three of them shared. In a huge and empty hall, there stood a group of fully armed spider knights. It seemed to be a gathering before setting off for the Norman Secret Realm.

Sitting on the majestic platform in the center is a mature and beautiful woman with four arms, who seems to be the matriarch of a night elf family.

The body, which only covered the vital parts, was extremely fair and plump, full of endless temptation.

But his whole body exudes a strange force field, showing a sense of majesty.

These two contradictory but perfectly intertwined special temperaments make all the night elves crazy!

A senior spider woman knelt on one knee, listening respectfully to the mistress's instructions.

Then, the mistress spent a huge price to seal the power of the senior spider woman. At the same time, the senior spider woman accepted a secret order and led hundreds of magic spider knights to teleport into the Norman secret realm in batches.

Combining the memory images of the three Demon Spider Knights, Richard could almost clearly imagine the outline of the entire incident.

However, there was one thing that still puzzled Richard.

Judging from the memory scenes, this spider woman named Dorothy is definitely the same as Shadra, both of them are high-level spider women with the strength of a first-level wizard.

But as far as I know, the Norman Secret Realm has strict strength requirements for entry.

Therefore, he still couldn't figure out why this high-level spider woman could enter the Norman secret realm.

In addition, Richard made a major discovery. He knew the key secret of how the night elves could locate each other.

It turned out that the companion demon spider of this high-level spider woman named Dorothy had actually evolved a trace of the bloodline of the Crypt Demon Spider King during her promotion some time ago.

This not only greatly improves the opponent's strength, but also gives him a natural and unique ability.

This is an ability that allows one to clearly sense other crypt spiders within a certain range.

Similarly, ordinary crypt spiders can also sense it, which has the blood of the crypt spider king!

Hey! This seems to only indicate that crypt spiders can communicate with each other!

There is another very important point!

Every Demon Spider Knight has a natural sense for his companion monster.

One thing leads to another!

Therefore, the random teleportation mechanism of the Norman Secret Realm is meaningless to the Demon Spider Knights led by Dolores!

Richard also knew that at present, the high-level spider woman named Dolores should be at the supply point of the original three major colleges, the daily supply point closest to the exit.

She was personally in charge there, and her main purpose was to cut off the escape routes of all wizard apprentices from the three major wizard academies!

Therefore, the other party can be said to have cut off the hopes of all wizard apprentices to return to their base!

This made Richard frown.

Because this means that even if he successfully finds Senior Meiluo, if he wants to take Senior Meiluo out of the secret realm, he will inevitably have a big battle with Dolores.

Only by defeating or at least repelling the opponent can we leave the Norman Secret Realm!

However, the opponent's unfathomable strength made Richard feel terrified.

Facing these well-trained Demon Spider Knights, Richard felt that he could only deal with three of them at most.

Even if Stephanie is included, in a head-on fight, the two of them would only be roughly equivalent to a five-man team of the other side.

But now, in the entire Norman Secret Realm, the other side has hundreds of Demon Spider Knights!

After thinking about it, Richard decided not to consider this issue for the time being.

His goal at the moment was very clear, which was to find Senior Meiluo as soon as possible. If he had the energy to spare, he also wanted to save Ophelia and Andrea.

-

Not long after the meeting ended, Gildarts arrived at the temporary residence of the more than 100 elite apprentices in the base.

The temporary residence is divided into three areas according to the college to which the apprentice belongs, corresponding to different colleges.

The area of ​​Gulus Academy is the largest, the area of ​​Ignis School is the smallest, and the Ring of Noth is located in the middle of the two. This also represents the current status of the three major undead wizard academies.

Gildarts walked slowly into the room where his offspring were.

He saw four wizard apprentices of the extreme level chatting in his offspring's room. Among the four, there was a young apprentice who looked quite similar to him, with a handsome face and short chestnut hair.

The other party was none other than his direct descendant and most favored disciple.

"Wizard Gildarts!" The four people saw Gildarts appear at the door and immediately bowed respectfully.

Gildarts smiled and nodded: "Have you all received the notice?"

"Yes, father, Wizard Derek has just informed us that he will select the 23 strongest wizard apprentices to enter the Norman Secret Realm."

"But as far as I know, it seems that among the current one hundred wizard apprentices, there are only nineteen who have reached the apprentice limit."

The one who answered him was his son Donato.

Gildarts was very satisfied with the son he had with the maid. He was not only talented but also thoughtful.

In the future, he will definitely become the backbone of the entire Colonna family.

"That's right, so nineteen people including you will be selected directly, and the remaining four places will need to be selected from the remaining eighty-one apprentices."

Gildarts took out a low-level magical weapon, the [Mistmantle Orbs], from his arms. There were five orbs in total. After thinking for a while, he kept one for himself and gave the remaining four to Donato.

"Donato, this is the Mistmantle Orb. It has the function of locating each other. The closer the distance, the brighter the light. You can share it with everyone."

"By the way, have you found the remaining teammate?"

"Of course, father. This apprentice is named Robert Soto from the Igris School and is also my good friend." Donato patted a short young man with a sinister face beside him and said.

"We have explored two ruins together before. His strength is very good. Now, he has reached the limit of a wizard apprentice."

"If we count him, we will have four people here."

When Gildarts heard that the other party was an apprentice of the Ignis School, he was stunned at first. He was very curious why Donato found a student of the Ignis School to join his team.

However, when he heard the other party's last name was Soto, he suddenly became thoughtful.

"Hello, respected Master Gildarts. I would like to say hello to you on behalf of my grandfather, Lil Soto!" Robert bowed.

Lil Soto, Gildarts certainly knew.

Not only did he know, but he was also quite familiar with it. When he was young, they had explored the ruins together several times, and he had even saved the other person once. He didn't expect that the other person's grandson had grown up so much.

He was a little hesitant at first, as the presence of an Ignis School student in the team seemed to make things a little inconvenient.

However, if it is a child from the Soto family, then there is no need to worry!

The Soto family is a relatively powerful family in the Ignis School.

There are three official wizards in the family, which can be said to be a large family. Among them is a clan elder who is over 150 years old. He is a senior first-level wizard and his strength is close to that of a top-level wizard.

For Robert, the wizard Gildarts in front of him is an important friend of his family.

So, half an hour ago, when he received Donato's invitation, he accepted Donato's invitation without hesitation.

Except for my own family reasons.

According to his grandfather, wizard Gildarts is relatively young and has a good chance of becoming a second-level wizard.

In addition, the other family is also a powerful and established wizard family - the Colonna family.

Its overall strength is even higher than that of the Soto family!

Gildarts waved his hand and lightly touched Donato's forehead.

Immediately, the other party received the information about Richard's facial features transmitted by Gildarts in his mind.

Gildarts said, "Donato, if you see this person in the secret realm, it would be best if you could capture him alive and bring him to me."

"But you have to be careful. The opponent might be quite powerful. Joachim has died at his hands." Gildarts warned.

"Being able to kill that loser Joachim doesn't mean anything. As long as he is not an official wizard, he can never be my opponent."

"Don't worry, Father!" Donetto Colonna said confidently.

He was not arrogant, but had absolute confidence in his own strength!

The three extreme-level wizard apprentices beside him were also listening to the conversation between Gildarts and his son with great curiosity.

I don't know who is so unlucky to be targeted by them.

Donato accidentally saw the curious expressions of the three people and said, "Father, these three are trustworthy partners. I believe they are willing to help you with this small favor."

Gildarts thought about it and decided that the search would be faster with more people, so he nodded and waved his hand.

Suddenly, Richard's face appeared in the minds of the three people.

"Respected Wizard Gildarts, are we going to capture this guy alive?" Robert glanced at him nonchalantly. In his mind, Richard, who was also wearing the robes of an Ignis School apprentice, appeared.

"This guy seems to have killed two of my father's disciples in succession, so we want to find him and ask him about the matter clearly."

"What a coincidence! The opponent is from the Ignis School just like you. Robert, is it inconvenient for you to take action?" Donato answered Robert's question first.

Robert thought for a moment and seemed to have some impression of this apprentice named Richard.

If he only had a slight impression of her, it would prove that she was not important. He immediately said, "Of course, no problem."

First of all, it was just a matter of capturing them alive, not killing the students sent by my classmates.

Secondly, within the secret realm, you can often do things your way.

After all, Wizard Gildarts was someone that he and his family wanted to befriend.

What's more, this time the team is led by the wizard Gildarts's clone himself, so there is no way he would offend the commander.
