Chapter 3118: Fate Weaver · Skeleton Spider

~11 min read 2,017 words

It is not accurate to say that those cards are all blank. It should be said that one side is blank, and the other side has a golden Ouroboros logo on a pure black background.

Although Xia De didn't directly touch the cards, he could feel that the whispers in them were not strong.

Luweiya took out one of them and handed it to Priest Ao Gu Si, then put the other cards back into the envelope. The priest took the card without activating it, and the doctor lowered his head and started counting down.

Xia De and Dorothy spread out to the left and right, confirming the situation around the three. The night view of Regent Park in the snow was very beautiful. The artificial lake not far away was completely frozen. During the day, children would play on the lake.

Xia De didn't know why, but he thought of the joke that Sylvia told last winter about "The Duchess of Saladir inspecting Tobesk". When looking at the moonlight reflected on the ice, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth unconsciously.

The few minutes of waiting were always safe and sound, so the doctor's countdown soon reached the end:

"... 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, start!"

The priest immediately introduced his own spirit into the card through his fingertips, so text and graphics immediately appeared on the front of the originally blank card.

At the same time, the snowflakes falling from the void above everyone's heads seemed to be twisted by invisible wind, and the transparent behemoth was filled with complete colors almost in an instant.

As Xia De turned to look at the priest, the giant spider-shaped undead, two people tall, had completely manifested its form in the material world.

It was a giant spider-shaped undead composed of the bones of many dead people. Its limbs were spliced together by rusted bone fragments and broken skeletons, but its abdomen exposed a hole as cold as a grave, and the decaying breath of death kept drifting out from that hole.

The doctor, the priest, and Luweiya dodged to the side very sensitively. Although the "Fate Weaver" had eight giant spider legs like corrupted bone knives, it didn't make any sound when it landed.

It was clearly huge but light as paper, and when its body touched the silver-white snow, not only did the snowflakes turn black, but Xia De even felt that the ground under the snowflakes was being polluted by the power of decay and corruption.

Only after it landed could Xia De observe its back. Strange living tissues like fascia formed a vesicle-like transparent container there, and several weak soul fragments were clearly floating in that vesicle.

The spider turned its back to Xia De, so he couldn't see its six black eyes as if covered by black mist symbolizing death. At this moment, the black light in the six eyes bloomed, and black rays shot directly at Dorothy and Dr. Shi Nai De who were facing it.

"Instant death attack!"

Priest Ao Gu Si behind them reminded loudly, activated the Sage-level relic 【Divine Favor】 to summon a feathered light shield, and blocked the three central rays.

The remaining three rays directly hit Dorothy, but the one who fell to the ground turned into a black "King Chess Piece" one person tall, and then the chess piece turned into a red butterfly card and fell on the snow.

The last two black lights were absorbed by a black stone mirror that suddenly appeared in front of the doctor. After the stone mirror exploded, the scarlet rays emitted from his eyes left right-angled light marks in the air, dragging scarlet colors and shooting toward the spider.

But as a soul fragment in the spider's "back sac" disappeared, a shield composed of pure soul power shrouded the monster, actually blocking this attack from the doctor that had never been blocked by anyone.

"Soul Weakness Curse."

Luweiya on the side cast a spell calmly, and the crystal color of the soul shield weakened sharply under the effect of the curse. The spider then jumped violently, again like a piece of paper, silently and lightly ejecting into the high sky, and then fell toward the direction of the artificial lake ice.

"This thing has the characteristics of partial spiritualization, let's finish it quickly!"

The doctor said and rushed over, and Priest Ao Gu Si didn't forget to tell everyone:

"That thing uses the power of death and decay. Unless it's a last resort, you must never make direct contact with its body."

Dorothy didn't chase after it. As the fate ring rotated, the match girl sat in Cinderella's pumpkin carriage and rushed toward the ice lake from her side.

Luweiya, as the auxiliary role in the team, didn't chase after it either. When she was preparing for a new round of spellcasting, Xia De also turned into a red butterfly and flew toward the darkness in the center of the lake.

The giant spider on the ice was still consuming soul fragments to open the shield, and at the same time, the black mist representing death rose around it, and the cold wind in the center of Regent Park gradually spread to the surroundings.

The special nature of the "Fate Weaver" spider reported by the Academy is that this strange creature derived from fate will inherit a part of the characteristics of the life that activated the relic/derivative, and this strange creature can only be damaged by a certain attack used against it for the first time. The same magic spell, even if it hits completely after the second use, will not have any effect.

Therefore, Dr. Shi Nai De, who caught up with the skeleton spider, didn't use the light from his eyes again. In the darkness, his right hand flowed with viscous pus until the entire right hand swelled to the size of a small tree.

Under the silence spell, everything was silent. "Human Pus" smashed toward the skeleton spider lying on the ice releasing black mist. Death could not corrupt the pus sores of humanity, but the giant hand passed through the black mist and hammered on the soul shield, only making a loud bang!

Although the translucent shield flickering with fluorescent light was dyed pitch black, the human pus failed to penetrate the power of the soul.

"Moonlight Slash!"

Hearing the sound behind him, the doctor hurriedly dodged to the side. So the gorgeous arc-shaped moonlight flying from behind him split the darkness, but after the bright silver light hit the soul barrier, it only knocked out fine cracks, and the moonlight itself disappeared.

The light emitted from the spider's eyes fought back, but this time those black death lights collided with the hot light flow emitted from the doctor's eyes in the air.

And taking advantage of Xia De and the doctor attracting the spider's attention, Priest Ao Gu Si had quietly restrained his own soul power and arrived in the black mist around the "Fate Weaver · Skeleton Spider".

The old priest held his breath and took a deep breath at the soul barrier, so the power of the soul turned into fine light and flowed into his nasal cavity.

The barrier shattered like a bubble, and the doctor immediately bent down and slapped the ice with both hands:

"Fire Column!"

The fire column rising from under the ice swallowed the skeleton spider in the black mist. But as Priest Ao Gu Si retreated in the fire, the giant spider cocoon woven from soul filaments also jumped out of the fire column.

The sickle-like spider claws tore the translucent cocoon, and the soul fragments in the sac on the back of the skeleton spider were extracted again, so the soul barrier that had just been absorbed by Priest Ao Gu Si reappeared.

"Get out of the way!"

The roaring pumpkin carriage was now ignited by the matches thrown by the match girl driving the carriage. So the burning carriage, which left two burning carriage tracks on the ice, slammed into the barrier covering the spider with a boom~.

This looked like a physical collision, but the flames from the power of fairy tales actually had the nature of burning the soul through the power of "wishes".

The pumpkin carriage exploded into a fireball after the collision, and the barrier covering the spider also disappeared. But the next second, another soul fragment was consumed, and the intact spider waved its claws and crawled toward the doctor and the priest.

As long as the power of the soul trapped by the "Fate Weaver" was not exhausted, this thing looked almost immortal. It was not impossible to exhaust the other party's soul, but everyone didn't have that much time, and continuing to fight would probably attract the attention of others.

"Let it not move for a while!"

Xia De's voice came from behind, and at the same time, the silver light wheel spinning and buzzing flew between the two. The light wheel rubbed against the spider's soul barrier and splashed bright moonlight. The reflection of the angel in the priest's eyes flashed, and he frowned slightly before raising his hand violently:

"Solidify Soul!"

The barrier originally used to protect the "Fate Weaver" no longer moved with the spider's movement, but trapped it inside.

So the solidified barrier disappeared instantly, and reappeared after the spider broke free. It jumped violently and wanted to come directly to the side of the two people casting the spell, but this time just as it came into the air, it ran into a black cube.

The space power from "Labyrinth Demon · Yalu" fixed the spider in the night sky for a short time, which was enough. Because the next second, Xia De, who had set up a posture on the ice, grabbed his right wrist with his left hand and aimed his right palm at the spider.

Under the snowy night sky, the moonlight gathered in his palm, and the blessed soul used the brand-new power extracted from the moon god's spiritual rhyme:

"Moon Fire!"

The light column that lit up in an instant completely illuminated every corner of the ice lake. The moon fire with the nature of "cannot be completely defended" penetrated the soul barrier and directly evaporated the spider's head.

Although it could create a solid "carapace" by relying on soul ability, its body was not outstanding at all when encountering moon fire with a completely restraining nature.

The corpse of the "Fate Weaver" fell silently toward the bottom, but before falling into the broken ice area melted by the fire column, it was controlled by the doctor to float down like a feather at the last moment.

Xia De stepped on the ground, and the lake surface was frozen again in the rustling sound. Priest Ao Gu Si nervously stepped forward to check whether the spider was feigning death, and then had to deal with the corpse and wait for the Academy to recycle it.

And when the two ladies on the lake shore also rushed to the center of the lake, they happened to see Xia De take a light sip of the small pink bottle:

"The attack form of Moon Fire is really too consuming of spirit."

Luweiya saw the battle ended, so she smiled easily and said:

"This is normal. After all, in the ancient era, Moon Fire, or Secret Fire, was a power that only the demigod hero Chosen Ones blessed by the Moon God were qualified to use."

Dorothy approached the spider corpse and asked with concern:

"Didn't it say there was only a one-fifth probability? Whose math is better, can you calculate the probability of us encountering a second 'Fate Weaver' tonight?"

"Obviously the detective's math is the best."

The doctor who squatted in front of the spider corpse reminded, so Dorothy looked at Xia De, and Xia De thought for a while:

"It's probably one hundred percent."
