Rushing up the more than three-meter-high pile of rubble, I looked ahead and saw that the area fifty or sixty meters ahead was completely covered by soil and rocks. All the spiders guarding this section of the road were buried alive.
Spiders on the other side also climbed onto the pile of rubble. Enemies meeting are bound to be hostile, and both sides launched a simultaneous Charge.
Unas took the lead, and the moment the two sides made contact, a Lv3 Divine Storm instantly swirled around him. The golden storm, with an attack range of 30 meters and three times the attack power, was like a real sea hurricane, causing the Giant Spiders to stagger and fall.
The attack of the blue Blade Spider in front of him was instantly deflected by the storm. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Unas unleashed a powerful sword strike, the Firekiss piercing the creature's ugly chin and penetrating its brain. The burst of fire energy evaporated the behemoth's brain matter in half a second.
The storm continued to swirl, and Unas continued to charge forward, targeting any enemy that stood in his way.
After his growth in the Blackrock Depths, his combat power was greatly enhanced. In this golden storm, almost no one could withstand a single blow, and even the terrifying Giant Spiders became his casual targets.
The alien Charge behind them followed the Warden at full speed. Not only were they unaffected by the storm, but they also received healing from the Holy Light, allowing them to charge forward without any fear.
In just two minutes, the spider swarm on the pile of stones collapsed completely. Unas almost single-handedly broke through the spider swarm, unleashing fourteen or fifteen consecutive Divine Storms every ten seconds without stopping, making him feel a little weak in the knees.
The Mage Corps and demolition team behind them had also climbed onto the pile of rocks, so Unas had no choice but to continue forward in order to create space for them to attack.
Spiders retreating from the pile of stones and those waiting to attack from below huddled together in the narrow valley, some even overlapping each other, creating a chaotic scene.
Unas, enveloped in a golden storm, leaped from the pile of rubble, landing squarely on the hairy back of a venomous Poison Spider. The indestructible red sword followed him, piercing deep into the spider's body and burning its internal organs to ashes.
The Blood Elves ' golden-red spells flew overhead, blasting towards the distance ahead, followed by packets of high explosives—the second round of detonations began.
Unable to look after each other, the spiders grew increasingly panicked. Four or five crimson Flame Spiders appeared in the distance, raising their massive abdomens high and shooting out bursts of scorching, venomous fire from the ever-expanding holes at their ends.
The poison fire intercepted some of the explosive charges, causing them to explode in mid-air, scattering countless fragments of rock; the attack effect was no less than if they had landed on the ground.
The Blood Elf mages immediately erected barriers, and Unas activated the White Obsidian on his chest, which was filled with Holy Light. The double barrier completely blocked the incoming poisonous fire.
The rain of stones and dust scattered, and a new pile of stones gradually took shape in front of them. The spiders in the distance could no longer come up with any effective means of retaliation. They had no choice but to retreat or accept their fate of being buried alive. They abandoned their companions at the front and retreated quickly.
The abandoned beasts let out desperate cries, but Unas showed them no mercy, gripping his sword and charging toward these lambs to the slaughter.
The spiders in front of them were quickly wiped out. After the explosions stopped and the smoke cleared, Unas led his team to the second pile of stones.
Almost exactly the same as the first time, the spiders on the other side charged forward, the only difference being that this time the leader was a black, tank-like Overlord Spider.
Normally, even Overlord Spider of its size wouldn't be able to fight in this narrowest part of the valley, but after being widened by bombs and mages, it could barely turn around on the pile of rocks.
Unas had some psychological trauma from this behemoth. Although he had become much stronger, the battle just now had depleted half of his Holy Power. In his current state, he didn't know if he could defeat the overlord of the spiders.
The only advantage is that the Overlord Spider's massive body is not very agile in the still confined space; it can only move forward, backward, or spin in place, making its movements very predictable.
The black behemoth charged forward menacingly, and no matter what, Unas had to meet it head-on.
The golden energy storm could only slightly affect the Overlord Spider's movements, but it was enough. Unas ducked easily to avoid the stabbing black forelegs and rolled forward on the ground.
The tip of the Firekiss drew a trail of sparks across the Giant Spiders's abdomen, leaving a shallow, charred wound. The abdomen was the most vulnerable spot on the beast's body.
This injury was insignificant to the Overlord Spider, but it still caused it to howl in pain and furiously stab its abdomen with its eight black legs.
Unas was no longer there; he had rolled behind the Giant Spiders and slammed the Hammer of Righteousness into the joint of one of its hind legs.
His personal experience taught him that the joints and mouthparts were the only two weaknesses of the Overlord Spider. The mouthparts were too dangerous, as they could shoot out deadly spikes at any time, so he focused his main attack on the joints.
The hammer blow, delivered with four times the force, produced a loud "crack," both the sound and the feel indicating to Unas that the opponent's joint had suffered a fracture.
This suddenly boosted his fighting spirit. He had indeed become stronger, and with just one strike, he had inflicted a minor injury on his seemingly invincible opponent.
The Overlord Spider's eight legs moved swiftly, then it suddenly turned its body like a millstone, hissed, and pounced on him.
Unas ducked and lunged forward, trying to pass under the Giant Spiders's belly as before, but the Overlord Spider suddenly spread its body, its eight sharp legs springing off the cliff face, and it quickly fell back down, slamming the Paladin beneath it.
Given the size and strength of the Overlord Spider, Unas couldn't break free, but the Warden's men wouldn't stand idly by and watch him die.
Four or five Ogres charged forward, but were immediately whipped into rolling positions by the Overlord Spider's sharp legs. However, the Orcs and Trolls behind them also launched a relentless Charge.
Conversely, the Overlord Spider's size completely blocked the mountain pass, preventing the Giant Spiders behind it from coming to its aid; they could only launch a few scattered stings and venomous attacks.
The Blood Elves weren't idle either; led by Huoye, they unleashed a barrage of single-target spells, including Pyroblast, Ice Lance, and Arcane Missiles.
The Overlord Spider's thick and tough armor can block a lot of physical damage. It can ignore the explosion of Fireballs or the piercing of ice spikes, but the corrosive effects of magic penetrate deep into its bones, and the changes in high temperature and extreme cold can damage its internal organs.
But it wouldn't budge, stubbornly pressing its body down on the Paladin, determined to crush its enemy.
Unas activated his Divine Protection Shield the moment he was tackled, which saved him from being instantly pulverized, but the shield only lasted for four or five seconds before being crushed, forcing him to activate Invincible.
Using Invincible Hearthstone would be a good way to escape, but the Monastery is too far away, and the commander's desertion would inevitably cause great damage to his prestige.
Fortunately, the indestructible Divine Shield protected him, and the rubble ground was pressed into an oval-shaped depression. After 12 seconds, the Invincible expired, Unas desperately shrank his body into the depression, which allowed him to hold on for a little while longer.
