The main body at the "Spider Mother Remnant's" head immediately responded, raising her head and parting her lips slightly. After a one-second pause, she let out a piercing shriek.
It sounded like wind rushing through a tiny hole, but it was so loud that everyone present briefly lost their hearing. Even the robotic members of the Iron Brotherhood and the Pink Cow were briefly paralyzed.
Then the battlefield fell silent.
Immediately afterward, the other grotesque faces on the Spider Mother's surface reacted as well, including the newly attached Hong Yanyan. They all made similar cries, filling the battlefield with noise once more.
"What the hell is it doing?"
Though Wang Chong sensed something unusual, he could not understand it. He simply kept urging Haken to drive faster, because they were almost clear under covering fire from the two Twisted Warships.
But Balot noticed a clue.
After entering the greater world, he had been one of the rare players to complete the oath prerequisite quest. He had followed an old hunter in the Sea of Miracles, hunting Otherworldly Demons for several months.
Finally, after killing the old hunter, who was aged, injured, sick, and mired in pain and torment, he had completed the hunter's succession.
His body had also undergone several potentially fatal modifications during this process, including enhancements to his senses and physique. He had gained various abilities: owl's eye, wolf's nose, cat's ears, antelope's tongue, snake's skin, bear's body, and, last and most crucial of all, human mind.
Thus, Balot possessed hearing as keen as an Otherworldly Demon's, and he heard something different in those sounds.
If those piercing noises or screams were slowed down several dozen times, the words would become clear. What they were shouting was...
"...Limb Restoration Spell?"
Balot murmured in his hoarse voice.
"What's that?"
