Chapter 167: The Glowing... Buttocks

The spider silk rapidly retracted, pulling Allen and his flying broom from the air into the canopy of a large tree...

Three Acromantulas emerged from the darkness, their mandibles clicking excitedly with a "click-clack" sound...

Branches sliced small wounds across Allen's face; he finally reacted, trying to command his flying broom to break free from the silk's control, but he found it completely futile.

Just then, he noticed more silk spraying from the darkness, sticking tightly to his body and his flying broom...

Allen suddenly understood: this was a premeditated ambush! It seemed his long-term hunting behavior had finally enraged the Acromantula clan; high-intelligence individuals within the clan had figured out his patterns and organized this ambush.

Allen had no time to think further; he quickly abandoned the flying broom that couldn't fly at all. The broom was rapidly dragged away, then bitten into pieces by a spider...

He swiftly drew his wand.

"Incendio!"

Flames immediately appeared on the attacking silk; the fire quickly burned through the strands. He then cast a Levitation Charm on himself, trying to rapidly gain altitude, but it was already too late.

More spiders appeared from the darkness, continuously spraying silk at him. He desperately dodged the incoming silk in mid-air, but the Levitation Charm's maneuverability was very limited. Another strand stuck to his leg, and his altitude suddenly dropped again...

At this moment, Yodell's separated consciousness finally reacted; he commanded the Blade Leopards to attack the spiders on the ground...

Allen simply controlled himself to land on a tree canopy; the branches blocked most of the incoming silk. He began to focus on commanding the other two Blade Leopards to attack the appearing Acromantulas. The three Blade Leopards swiftly slaughtered through the spider swarm; ordinary Acromantulas could not withstand their sharp claws and fangs.

The spiders suddenly became chaotic, having no time to continue attacking Allen.

The three Blade Leopards quickly opened a gap, but the Acromantulas were not frightened by the slaughter. Several even larger Acromantulas soon appeared from the darkness, spitting out thicker silk.

This time, their target switched to the Blade Leopards. Soon, the two Blade Leopards controlled by Allen were firmly restrained by the silk; their sharp claws and fangs were powerless against the soft yet tough strands.

Only the Blade Leopard controlled by Yodell's separated consciousness agilely dodged the incoming silk. The situation suddenly became dire...

Allen's brain raced; he had not brought a spare flying broom. The Levitation Charm's maneuverability was too slow; flying in the air made him a living target. So his only way out was to leave through the gap just opened, then use the Forbidden Forest's complex environment to shake off the spider swarm...

He quickly abandoned control of the two Blade Leopards. By now, he had broken free from the silk's control. He transformed a tree trunk back into a Blade Leopard, then mounted it. The Leopard leaped down from the canopy; jumping from a height of 5 meters caused no significant harm to the Leopard, apparently due to the mithril skeleton within his body.

At this time, Allen's Levitation Charm was still active. Riding the Blade Leopard, he had no weight, so the Leopard ran without losing speed.

Leaving a swarm of spiders behind, the Blade Leopard controlled by Yodell quickly caught up. Fortunately, there were no other giant spiders in this direction; they actually managed to run out of the Acromantulas' encirclement...

The spiders refused to give up on their enemy, pursuing them closely from behind...

After all, the Acromantulas' legs were much longer than the Blade Leopards' legs, preventing Allen from increasing the distance. If this continued, he would inevitably be caught by the spiders.

Allen looked back at the relentless spiders, thinking rapidly about a way to escape.

He carefully recalled every spell he knew, but could not think of a single spell applicable to the current situation; so many spiders were simply beyond what one person could handle.

Moreover, he was now deep in the Forbidden Forest and could not distinguish the direction of their flight. Even if he sent up fireworks as a distress signal, presumably no one would see them.

Even if someone saw them, by the time reinforcements arrived, he would likely have been eaten clean by the spiders...

At this moment, the diary in his pocket suddenly trembled. The Blade Leopard controlled by Yodell beside him suddenly spoke human words; although the pronunciation was very unstandardized with a heavy accent, Allen could understand his meaning.

"Use your talent to transform a pair of wings!" that Blade Leopard said with difficulty.

At this distance, Yodell should be able to directly control that Blade Leopard, so this was Yodell speaking to him directly.

Allen understood Yodell's meaning, but his once-a-week ability to designate a specific transformation had been used two days ago to transform the eyes of a Phoenix.

However, based on his previous hypothesis, if he used Memory Magic to alter his own memory regarding the perception of time to five days later, he would gain one instance of the designated talent transformation ability.

Then, use Memory Magic to induce a brief sleep in himself, completing the transformation during sleep. As long as he could transform a pair of wings, he could escape quickly!

The flight speed of wings was far faster than the speed of the Levitation Charm.

Although altering one's own memory was a very dangerous thing, looking at the relentless, approaching spiders behind him, he firmly made up his mind. In his current situation, he could only take the risk.

He signaled the Blade Leopard controlled by Yodell to approach, then mounted that Leopard. The Levitation Charm still active on his body made this action very easy. He then gave the Leopard he had just mounted an order to charge toward the spider swarm...

Next, he connected himself and the Blade Leopard controlled by Yodell using his clothes. He feared that altering his memory would cause him to lose control of the Blade Leopard, allowing the spiders to catch up, so he had to perform the memory alteration while on the Blade Leopard controlled by Yodell...

Then he quickly pressed his wand against his temple, closed his eyes, focused all his attention within his mind to filter out the memories regarding the perception of time, and then altered the time perception to five days later...

The next moment, he opened his eyes. His brain suddenly became chaotic; he felt he had fallen into confusion...

Who am I?

Where am I?

What must I do?

At this moment, the diary suddenly floated up and unfolded before him, displaying a passage of glowing text that simply explained the situation.

After reading this text, Allen's chaotic brain seemed to find an anchor, becoming clear again. He quickly sorted out his thoughts and understood what he needed to do next.

He decisively waved his wand, using Memory Magic to put himself to sleep...

Perhaps ten seconds passed, or perhaps a minute, before Allen was woken up by the diary...

Allen looked at the diary somewhat blankly. Text appeared on the diary: "Transformation complete!" followed by an expression of helplessness and amusement...

Allen quickly realized something was wrong; the wings he had expected did not transform. Instead, he felt a sudden brightness behind him...

He hurriedly turned around and found that the source of the light was actually his buttocks. Although his pants were quite thick today, they could not block the bright light emitted by his buttocks...

This bright light even illuminated the direction for the pursuing spiders in the dark Forbidden Forest.

"WTF? Where are my wings?" Allen's frantic voice suddenly rang out in the Forbidden Forest.

But no one answered Allen; only the dense footsteps of the Acromantulas behind him reminded Allen of the urgency of the situation...

Did I randomly get a firefly's buttocks? Why is it so bright? Allen cursed inwardly.

But he had no idea how to control the light-emitting organ on his buttocks to stop glowing.

He could only watch helplessly as the spiders drew closer, with no hope of shaking them off...

He was truly out of options this time. He continuously cast spells backward, but they did nothing to slow the spiders' pursuit...

When they reached an open area, Allen suddenly saw a cave in the distance, its entrance shimmering with light...

He suddenly remembered: today was March 31st, the last day of the month...
