The newly laid pile of rubble was not solid, and each time the Overlord Spider pressed down, it made Unas's armor creak, but at the same time, it made the depression beneath him deeper and deeper, giving him a little room to move.
Unas put away his Silver Hammer, Unas his sword with both hands, and pressed the tip of the sword against the giant Giant Spiders's abdomen. The energy in the Fire Ring condensed at the fastest speed, and a blinding white-hot light emanated from the tip of the crystal sword, quickly melting a small hole in the giant beast's abdominal armor.
At this moment, the Overlord Spider exerted its strength and pressed down again, essentially crashing into the sword. The sword tip immediately pierced three inches deep into the Giant Spiders's exoskeleton, almost piercing it through.
Unas seized the opportunity, unleashing all the Reckoning power of his reckoning, and with the Crusader Strike, thrust upwards, breaking through the behemoth's last bit of armor. Half of his sword was deeply embedded in its body, and the intense fire energy from the Fire Ring then seeped in.
The Overlord Spider tensed up, letting out a deafening scream. It used its eight long legs to prop itself up from the ground, then used its longest side leg to attack the enemy beneath its abdomen.
Unas neither dodged nor evaded, recklessly channeling his fire energy into his opponent's body at full speed. His two side feet struck the opponent's back and shoulders squarely. Even though the Sacred Shield and armor absorbed most of the damage, the two blows still nearly made him vomit blood.
But it was worth it. Most of the remaining fire energy in the Fire Ring was released instantly. This violent action directly led to energy out of control, and the fire energy suddenly exploded.
The sword tip, deep inside the Giant Spiders's body, was at the epicenter of the explosion. Unas, gripping Firekiss tightly and refusing to let go, was immediately thrown back to the ground by the shockwave, his head and sword splattered with bits of flesh and blood.
A large hole was blasted in the Overlord Spider's abdomen, and fragments of its internal organs and black, foul blood cascaded down like a waterfall. The pain caused its limbs to spasm, its body to writhe weakly, and it swayed precariously.
The Charge charged forward, with Ogres and Trolls brandishing thick chains to lasso the Overlord Spider's head and eight long limbs. Several Orcs Warriors charged toward the fallen Warden, hoisted him onto their shoulders, and carried him back to the rear.
The concussion and tinnitus left Unas's vision blank; he couldn't think or hear anything. When he finally came to his senses, the Overlord Spider was already chained by more than a dozen iron chains, and the combined strength of the dozen or so Ogres made it impossible for the heavily injured behemoth to break free.
With their leader captured, the spider swarm tried to rush to their rescue, but they faced a formidable defensive line of Orcs and Trolls, as well as a new wave of relentless bombardment from Blood Elf mages. Not only were they unable to advance, but they were also forced to retreat continuously.
After Natasha's emergency treatment, Unas's injuries were no longer serious, and he rejoined the battle after resting for a few minutes.
He was like the main engine of our attack, his appearance igniting the desire of his subordinates to attack. When the golden storm swirled up once again, everyone's heart was filled with the desire for victory.
No more species as powerful as the Overlord Spider or the Flame Spider have appeared. Ordinary Giant Spiders are nothing more than easy prey in front of Unas.
Although his fire energy was exhausted and he was still injured, in the Divine Storm, each of his sword strikes severely wounded at least one giant beast, and the Giant Spiders on the pile of stones were quickly all killed.
Unas stepped over the corpses of the Giant Spiders to reach the edge of the pile of stones. Instead of continuing his attack, he took out his massive steel shield and slammed it into the ground, assuming a defensive stance.
This was a last resort. The team was able to advance so easily entirely thanks to Lv3 Divine Storm. Now, he Holy Power in his body and couldn't release a single skill.
If they wanted to continue the attack, they would have to sacrifice lives. Unas did not want to cause unnecessary casualties, so the offensive this morning had to end here.
The spiders below hissed and tried to attack, Unas switched to his Silver Hammer and, from his superior position, slammed down a Giant Spiders that was leaping upwards. The Warriors behind him also caught up and erected shields around the Warden, forming a solid defensive line.
Having secured their advantageous position, the Mage Corps launched a new round of magical bombardment. The spider swarm attacked for half an hour without making any progress, but their corpses gradually piled up, even higher than the rubble. The situation had reversed, and now the spiders were in a superior position.
Fortunately, Huoye set off a large fire in time, setting the spiders' corpses ablaze. The raging flames and thick smoke separated the enemy and our forces, finally giving everyone a little time to rest.
Unas was far from leveling up and could only recover his energy through Meditation. He immediately returned to the rear and ordered the Iron Golems to go to the front line to replace the alien Warriors —the mountain wall had been widened by the blasting, and the pile of stones could now accommodate two golems advancing side by side.
The Overlord Spider, chained up, lay dying on the ground, its blood almost drained from the large hole in its abdomen. The Ogres worked together to break all its joints and then bound it tightly into a ball.
Seeing its condition, Unas was afraid it was dead. A living Overlord Spider was more useful than a dead one, and if Rose could subdue it later, it would become a powerful asset to their side.
"Treat its wound and take it to the back for inspection."
Two of the three leaders of the spider swarm have already been captured, and it's uncertain whether the remaining Overlord Spider will have the courage to personally Charge.
The Blue Rock Pass is 600 meters long in total, and the narrowest part is only a little over 200 meters long. The fact that more than half of it was advanced in just one morning is already a very good result.
The fire was expected to be completely extinguished in another hour. After casually munching on a few pieces of bread, Unas quickly entered Meditation with the retreating mages to quickly recover their energy for the afternoon's battle.
The body, which was originally radiant with golden light and boundless brightness, was now dark, with only the Holy Power Vortex at the chest slowly rotating, radiating light and heat like a small sun.
The energy here is a cage that seals the demon, and it cannot be easily consumed. At this moment, it is just right to act as a seed, splitting out threads of energy that flow within the body, connecting the scattered points of light, and re-forming an energy cycle.
As time passed, a decent golden stream finally condensed within the almost empty body, and once it formed a cycle, the speed at which Holy Power recovered would become faster and faster.
"My lord, wake up!"
An urgent call interrupted the Warden's Meditation. Unas had previously instructed his men not to disturb him unless there was important military intelligence, so he quickly opened his eyes and asked, "What's going on?"
"They've retreated! The spiders have retreated! We've won!" the young man in front of him shouted excitedly.
Unas immediately got up and moved forward, quickly reaching the second pile of rubble. The path ahead was blocked by Iron Golems, so he simply climbed onto the shoulder of one of the golems and looked into the distance.
The fire was still burning, but it had shrunk considerably. Behind the thin black smoke, there was no sign of any enemy. The swarm of spiders that had been huddled together had vanished without a trace.
What's going on? Is it a trap?
