In addition to sending two Tier Eight, four Tier Seven, and one hundred Mid-Rank Transcendent mercenaries, the Brooks Mercenary Corps also brought out two Legendary treasures.

The first item is the cloak that Lennar and his companions used to conceal their bodies. It is called the "Stokes Cloak," a shadow-type piece of equipment that can obscure senses and Concealment their form.

This is why, despite Gustavo's keen senses, he only realized the danger at the very last moment.

The second Legendary treasure is this Legendary scroll inscribed with a tenth-circle spell.

The Alternate Space Prison can pull enemies into another dimension.

Without spatial abilities or power surpassing that of Legendary, there is no way to escape by force; one can only wait for time to pass and for the spell to automatically expire.

This spell scroll is specifically used by the Brooks Mercenary Corps to deal with Tier Nine and even Legendary- level prey.

After dragging the prey into an inescapable alternate dimension, a group of mercenaries gang up on them and take care of them—simple yet efficient.

However, spell scrolls are expensive to begin with, and spatial spell scrolls are several times more expensive than ordinary scrolls, not to mention Legendary spatial scrolls, each of which is priceless and not easily used.

But in order to deal with that terrifyingly talented and vengeful spider monster, Brooks used a sledgehammer to crack a nut, and reluctantly handed the scroll to Lennar.

He repeatedly instructed the latter not to be stingy and to use the weapon immediately upon encountering the spider monster.

Although Lennar was puzzled by the commander's actions, he still carried out the order.

When Lennar saw the spider-like monster covered in silver armor fighting head-on with Elia, who was at the upper level of the Tier Eight, and holding its own, he felt a jolt in his heart and immediately understood why Brooks had acted this way.

As far as he knew, two months ago, this spider monster could barely hold its own against Rig, but now...

"Only two months!" Rig was dumbfounded, his body trembling uncontrollably. What had he done to deserve this?

With such an incredibly rapid growth rate, if they had arrived a few months later, these people would probably have been nothing more than easy prey.

"Thank goodness, we arrived just in time. He's only at the Tier Eight. We absolutely cannot let him escape this time!"

Rig and Lennar exchanged a glance, both seeing the surging killing intent in each other's eyes.

It's better if this terrifying enemy is dead.

"Proceed according to the original plan, at all costs, kill him!" Lennar said through gritted teeth.

"Yes!"

All the mercenaries responded in unison, then formed a battle formation, moving in a circle to surround Gustavo.

"Mind Contract!"

Lennar flapped his wings, and two golden antennae on his forehead emitted a dazzling light. A wave of mental energy spread out, greatly boosting the morale of all the mercenaries enveloped by the wave. A continuous stream of power surged from their bodies, and a thin golden shield enveloped their skin.

"Mind warlock! Fairy!" Gustavo exclaimed as he fought the madwoman before him, glancing at the fairy race in the distance, which was only the size of his eye.

Lennar met Gustavo's gaze without fear, and under the latter's watchful eye, unleashed another mental ability.

"Mind Lightning Chain!"

Sizzle--

Formless and intangible, like golden lightning composed of gas, it shot out from Lennar's two tentacles and struck Gustavo directly.

This is a control-type ability. Once entangled by the lightning chain, agility will be greatly reduced, and the user will suffer from a mental tremor effect, resulting in a decrease in strength.

"Primordial Qi Tyrant Body!"

What Lancelot can do, Gustavo can certainly do too, and his energy is stronger, making his Primordial Qi Tyrant Body even more effective.

A thin, bright silver film emanated from Gustavo's body, covering his entire body.

Bang!!

The golden lightning chain collided with the Primordial Qi Tyrant Body and shattered instantly, rendering all control effects ineffective.

"?"

Lennar frowned. The more he looked at the silver membrane on the spider monster's body, the more familiar it seemed. It was exactly the same as the Primordial Qi Tyrant Body of a martial artist.

Monster Martial Artist?

Shaking his head, Lennar dismissed the absurd idea.

Since control measures are ineffective, let's launch a full-scale attack.

"Attack with full force! This spider monster is immune to crowd control. Ranged attack squads, focus fire!"

Melee classes should not attack in large numbers at once; 6-8 people should attack in 4-5 waves... Trisha should not rush to attack; first, find the spider monster's weaknesses...

Lucia, prepare the seventh-circle fire-attribute attack spell ' Meteor Fire Rain '...

April, where's your Flameblast Shotgun? Unleash a barrage from mid-range, aim for the spider's belly... Everyone, center your attention on Elia, follow my commands, don't panic...

While applying buffs to his teammates, Lennar directed the battle, immediately ordering his men to fill any gaps in the defenses.

With this guy in command, the hundreds of mercenaries cooperated seamlessly, acting as one person, putting immense pressure on Gustavo!

Several times he tried to break through the encirclement and kill this despicable fairy.

But the madwoman in front of him, with her red eyes, completely disregarded defense and unleashed a frenzied barrage of attacks with her eight-sided hammer, clearly adopting a suicidal fighting style.

This left Gustavo completely confused. "Did I kill your man?"

Why this seemingly irreconcilable conflict?

"Magic Break -Slaying Crossbow Bolts!"

A dozen or so spiraling arrows, inscribed with runes, flew at incredible speed. Gustavo tried his best to dodge, but with Elia relentlessly pursuing him and his enormous size, he was hit by a total of eight arrows.

The silver membrane formed by the Primordial Qi Tyrant Body was torn open in several places. If another twenty or thirty arrows were fired, Gustavo would be forced to exit the Overlord Body state. At that time, the elves who were watching from not far away would definitely exert their control abilities.

There were other mercenaries, as well as female assassins lurking in the shadows.

"This can't go on!" Gustavo gritted his teeth.

He wasn't worried about his own demise. Although this place was 400 kilometers away from Spider Mom, with her strength, he could arrive there in the blink of an eye.

Although his life was not in danger, Gustavo's Dragon-Hunting Spider sense of honor and pride prevented him from being defeated so easily.

He's Dragon-Hunting Spider, Void Predator; these insects in front of him are nothing more than prey.

Thinking of this, Gustavo's eyes widened, and a chilling green beam of light shot from his pupils.

Seeing this, Lennar, who had been closely watching him, felt a chill run down his spine, and his wings stopped flapping, as if gripped by an invisible force.

"Oh no! The spider monster might be making its last stand! Quick, attack with all your might!"

Lennar, with his extensive experience in sieges, immediately ordered his mercenaries to attack at all costs upon seeing Gustavo's reaction.

However, it was no use. Gustavo grinned ferociously, his body crackling as a terrifying amount of silver energy surged across his surface, resembling a nebula.

Boom!!

The nebula suddenly expanded, and along with it, a semi-transparent cloth bag the size of a fist was also shot out.

At the same time, a gravitational field erupted, pressing all the mercenaries, including Elia, to the ground.

"The Air-Stasis Corridor!"

Buzz!!

The air solidified into amber, and countless spider silks spread out, forming another enormous cage within the Alternate Space Prison.

After doing all this, Gustavo detonated the bag.

Hades, break free!
