Elise relentlessly spitted webs and venom at us, quickly binding Renekton and Oken, while numerous small spiders crawled in from all around. ✌👣 💛🍭

Kayle and Morgana blocked the little spider from getting closer, but soon they were covered in spider webs, making it increasingly difficult for them to move.

This is really troublesome. We are the strongest in the team, and now we're trapped by Elise.

At this point, only Nasus, Djis, and I were free to move around. The other two couldn't break through the web, so it was up to me to try.

However, I wasn't entirely confident, because while the Gale Sword was powerful, it wasn't as sharp as Nasus's or Djis's weapons.

However, brute force alone is useless against tough spider webs; otherwise, we would have destroyed them long ago.

Sure enough, I tried to slash at Ken many times without success. Instead, the blade became entangled with spider silk, which even the Wind Force couldn't remove!

"Haha, don't waste your energy. No prey that falls into the spider's web can escape, especially anything that flies!"

"Arrogant!"

A shout rang out, and Jarvan and Shvana arrived!

They were all in the form of dragons; Shvana breathed flames that burned away colorless flowers and trees, Jarvan shone with Golden Light that aweed all living things.

Elise's web ignited again, just like Nasus's flames before. Although it burned black, it could not be burned through. At this moment, Jarvan's Golden Light poured down, turning the web into ashes!

Wow, their combined power is incredible! If it weren't for the Life Rune, we probably would have been affected too.

Varus and his companions were finally rescued, and all the small spiders around them were burned to death. Only Elise protected herself from harm with her thick cocoon.

"You said that prey caught in a spider's web cannot escape, especially those that can fly. I wonder if we are your prey?"

"A dragon? I don't have that kind of appetite, but I don't mind. If I digest you, I'll probably have a bunch of strong children, hehehe..."

"Damn beast!"

Jarvan stopped wasting words and, together with Shvana, unleashed another combined attack of fire and light, burning Elise and forcing her to flee in all directions.

However, there are spider webs everywhere, and she can spit out spider silk at any time, so catching her won't be easy.

In the ensuing escape and chase, Jarvan and Shvana left the maze in complete disarray. Everyone who had just been enjoying themselves there had vanished without a trace; some had escaped, while others had disappeared.

If this continues, all the trees here will be burned down sooner or later, and then Elise will have nowhere to hide!

With that in mind, I called on everyone to destroy the obstacles here and speed up the destruction of the maze.

Soon, the vast woodland was leveled and could no longer be called a maze.

Elise had nowhere to run and was locked in a standoff with us not far away, but she didn't seem flustered at all.

"The labyrinth I painstakingly built has been razed to the ground by you, which breaks my heart!"

"If you're willing to tell me Karthus's location, I might let you go."

"Spare me? You've been purifying the Shadow Isles all this way, have you ever spared a single undead?"

"You are not a ghost, but Elise, the Spider Empress, a real and tangible being."

"Hehe, judging from your tone, you seem to know me?"

"That's not important, just give me your answer."

"Beyond this labyrinth lies Karthus's castle; he is the master of this Death Park."

"Then please lead the way."

"No, I'm not telling you Carl's location to beg for mercy, but simply to let you know that the enemy is right in front of you, yet you cannot reach them!"

After Elise finished speaking, she transformed into a giant spider with red patterns covering its jet-black body, which was quite terrifying!

Since she's abandoned her agility for this form, she must be much stronger. But it doesn't matter, this way we can attack her!

When we actually fought, I realized I was wrong. Elise was still incredibly fast, her eight legs were like sharp blades, and her defensive capabilities were also very strong!

Moreover, she can conjure spider silk out of thin air and spin it into a web!

This time, the spider silk was much thicker than before. It wasn't sticky and clingy, but it was much more resilient. Even Jarvan and Shvana's combined attack couldn't destroy it!

Just as we were trying to escape the spider web's coverage, we heard a sound beneath our feet, and the ground was also covered with this kind of spider silk!

Is this what they call a net of heaven and earth? Unsurprisingly, we were all trapped.

Jarvan and Shvana had their mouths bound, preventing them from spewing flames and Golden Light, and the Ascended were also firmly under control.

Kayle was furious, while Morgana looked terrified, as if she were remembering being bound in the past.

Fortunately, I can still control the Wind Force. If I fully support the gale, I can ensure that Elise cannot get close.

"Hahaha... What a powerful Wind Force! But it doesn't matter. I just need to keep an eye on things here. In a few days, you'll all lose consciousness and be stuck here forever!"

"Perhaps it won't be long before we figure out a way to break through the spider web. Don't get too excited, or your joy might turn to sorrow!"

"If you're hoping to get help from outside friends, forget about it. Shaco has already made his move; the arrival of these two dragons is your limit!"

"Outside the labyrinth, we have many more people, even the entire living being of Runeterra, who are our strong support!"

"You'd better not think that way, because soon there will be no living beings left in the outside world. When the shadows arrive, everyone will give up their limited lives and live in Death Park. Wouldn't that be better?"

I ignored Elise. She had a kind of morbid mentality, probably the same as when Michela created the Cycle Curse Barrier. She always wanted to manipulate others through her own consciousness.

A world created under such an ideology is indeed more peaceful, but also monotonous and boring.

If everything lacked individuality and consisted of identical things, could it still be called the vast and diverse world?

I tried using force and found that the spider web was very secure, but even with all my strength, I might not be able to break through it.

If I can't come up with a solution soon, I'll have to escape on my own and ask other squads for help, hoping someone can break the spider web.

I asked Jarvan about the situation outside, and he said that after everyone split up, they found the plaza without much trouble. Since they didn't find any clues, they returned to the meeting point, but they waited for us and Talon's team for a long time.

After discussing it, Jarvan and Shvana went to the mid lane to find us, Lee Sin and Tie Hong went to find Talon, and that's when they met us.

Elise just said that Shaco went to stop the two teams outside, probably to coordinate with the battle here, in case we join forces to eliminate them.

I don't know how long we can stay here. Judging from the condition of Renekton and Oken, we will probably lose our strength in about five or six days.

About a day has passed now, we need to hurry!
