The Death-Substitution Magic Doll saved Wight's life, and he coldly scrutinized Gustavo before him.
Suddenly, as if remembering something, Wight murmured to himself, "Why wasn't he affected by the Body-Rotting Poison and the Shadow Snake Curse?"
He had almost been blinded by anger, but Wight was, after all, a genius among black Mage, known for his calmness and quick thinking. He soon discovered Gustavo's unusual behavior.
It should be noted that, with the combined effects of the Body-Rotting Poison and the Shadow Snake Curse, other High-Rank Transcendent Lifeform were affected to varying degrees.
Nelson and his group were seriously injured.
Unexpectedly, both of their underhanded tactics met with resistance from Gustavo.
The other party didn't seem to have suffered much damage at all.
They not only hide themselves, but also wait for the right moment to strike.
And when he relaxed his guard, he immediately launched a counterattack, instantly destroying his Death-Substitution Magic Doll.
All of this could not help but arouse the covetousness in the ever-curious Wight.
The only explanation for the fact that this spider could Body-Rotting Poison and the Shadow Snake Curse without any precautions is that it has an extremely high bloodline level, giving it innate resistance to abnormal statuses and poison.
Just like the Storm Giant and the Dragon Vein Warlock before.
The former was also largely unaffected, but the main reason for this was its Tier Nine life level.
The latter, however, relied heavily on the bloodline of the True Dragon to regain its fighting power and fight alongside the Storm Giant.
However, according to Wight's perception, the life rank of the Black Spider in front of him was definitely not high, only around the sixth or seventh rank.
Although the quantity of Life Essence is enormous, quality is the primary factor in determining the rank of a Transcendent life form.
"Even if you are Tier Seven life form, your combat strength is close to that of Tier Nine, and you also have such high resistance to poison and abnormal status, and the ability to manipulate gravity..." As he calculated, Wight's eyes grew brighter and brighter, like a hungry wolf that hadn't eaten meat for days, his eyes gleaming green.
At least a high-level Legendary bloodline, or even...
Thinking of a certain possibility, the fervor in Wight's eyes intensified, and he wished he could immediately subdue the spider monster before him and extract its bloodline amidst the creature's wails.
"It would be a waste for you to control a bloodline of this caliber. You should leave it to me and let me find you a better home!"
A slightly nervous whisper came from Wight's mouth as he frantically waved his hands, throwing out a series of dark shadow spells.
Inside the passage, negative energy gathers, and any ordinary creature that comes here will be instantly evaporated into black dust.
Faced with Wight's all-out attack, Gustavo could only defend passively. This dark Mage showed him what a true spellcaster was.
The almost Endless magical attacks, the vast and powerful dark elements, and the precise control over the battle situation all amazed Gustavo.
Dark Mage may be evil, but these guys are really tough.
Each one of them is incredibly powerful, especially among those of the same level.
Gustavo couldn't get close at all, and his opponent didn't give him any chance.
The continuous barrage of sword flashes Dissolution quickly, like summer snow, amidst the opponent's layers of weakening magic.
This suffocating feeling in his chest was something Gustavo had never experienced before since his rebirth.
However, Gustavo was not discouraged; his fighting spirit only intensified under this pressure, like oil being poured onto a hot fire.
Only in battles filled with immense pressure can his bloodline potential be maximized.
Gustavo could feel his Epic blood surging, the continuous flow of bloodline energy nourishing his body and giving him seemingly Endless power.
"That's perfect..."
Gustavo intended to use the pressure from the opposing spellcaster to hone his bloodline.
It should be noted that his physical, energy, and mental attributes had all reached 60 points ten days ago, but he had yet to break through.
Now, the battle with Wight has given Gustavo a glimmer of hope.
If you win, you will break through to High-Rank Transcendent Lifeform and obtain the treasure.
Defeated... cough cough, let Spider Mom out to teach him a lesson.
It's impossible for me to die.
Various thoughts flashed through his mind. With a thought, Gustavo unleashed countless energy spider threads from his body, dancing in mid-air and forming a gravity field with a force 130 times that of gravity.
Unseen and intangible yet steel-wire-like threads of gravity pulled at Wight's body from below, hindering his spellcasting and making it less fluid, giving him a brief respite.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gustavo activated his Primordial Qi Tyrant Body, covering his body with a thin layer of bright silver energy shield. He wore his Thorn Armor underneath, providing two layers of defense. Propelled by the repulsive force behind him, his massive twelve-meter-tall body transformed into a star that traversed the maze passage, rumbling and crushing the air, shattering dark spells, and charging towards Wight in his astonished gaze.
"Hehe, didn't expect that, did you? I'm immune to control!"
The illusion created earlier, that they had been repelled by Wight and unable to advance, has finally paid off at this moment.
In close combat, what can a dark Mage use to fight him?
