Chapter 2071: 0450 Returning with a full load, Infinite Blade Technique! (End of the month, asking for monthly tickets)_5

“How can the Thunder Marsh Clan be so weak? I’ve already weakened myself to this extent, yet I’m still suspected by the Spider King.”

“It’s all my fault for being too strong; I really can’t play the part of a weakling, sigh…”

Despite saying this, he continued to disguise himself as a member of the Thunder Marsh Clan, battling against the lightning and the golden prince.

With his hexagonal body quality, the attacks from a high-burst lightning mage like the golden prince became increasingly feeble.

The powerful technique from the golden scepter just now could only be used once in a short time.

The Star-devouring Spider King sensed something was amiss and decided to retreat promptly to minimize losses.

“Retreat! All retreat!”

It commanded its three avatars, including the Level 7 Mid Stage avatar that was pursuing Lord Victor, to retreat swiftly.

The black beast that Levi had severely injured also escaped into the void, disappearing without a trace.

The golden prince also wanted to leave but was surrounded by a thunderous mountain range, unable to shatter the void and escape.

Rumble!

A golden sun with a diameter of ten kilometers rose over the wilderness, its dazzling light making it impossible to look at directly.

The golden prince self-destructed…

Levi saw with his own eyes the phantom of the little spider dissipate into smoke during the self-destruction.

“Smart move, choosing to destroy the avatar rather than letting it fall into someone else’s hands?”

The energy shockwave formed a wave of dense Qi like a vast ocean, endless and mighty.

Levi stood amidst it, unmoving like a mountain.

There, a golden scepter floated in the void, shining with brilliant luster.

“Wait, where is the storage item?”

Levi looked around, continually using his perception.

In the end, he discovered, aside from this scepter, there was nothing else.

“Could it have been destroyed by the remnants of the self-destruction?”

Levi carefully inspected once more.

“No… Either it was destroyed, or it was confiscated by that Spider King, leaving only the golden prince to carry the scepter into battle.”

Levi inclined toward the latter.

It seems this Spider King is extremely cunning and suspicious, unlike an ordinary giant beast.

“Never mind, I’ve already profited greatly, no need to desire more; if it’s with the Spider King, let it store it for me… Someday, it will all be mine.”

“This place also needs to be marked, to come explore later if a Truth Oddity might be born.”

He instructed Leon to capture the soul of the golden prince.

Levi collected the golden scepter and then joined up with Victor, hiding near the Thunder Realm.

Throughout, he only used his body and the power of lightning, without revealing any other abilities.

But it seemed that the Spider King hadn’t fallen for the trick.

For this, Levi had no other means.

Subsequently, he waited for another half month.

He never saw the giant beast restricted area attack the Thunder Realm.

He didn’t waste more time and wandered a while on the seventh floor before returning to the fifth level.

He took those wizard and knight seedlings away, leaving the Dark Ancient Tower.

…

Giant Beast Restricted Area.

In the fog, a massive shadow blotted out the sky, and green light flickered faintly.

After this battle, the Spider King pondered deeply, recalling those combat details.

Then, it communicated with an eight-level powerhouse from the Thunder Marsh Clan.

Finally determining that the Thunder Marsh Clan was likely disguised by a black-armored swordsman.

And another black-armored swordsman was likely another human in disguise.

“Lost another avatar, humans are so despicable and shameless. Luckily, I detonated the avatar in advance, or it would’ve been captured alive by that human again; just a pity about the Level 8 Exotic Treasure.”

Although it couldn’t use it, it didn’t stop it from collecting treasures.

In its nest, the spoils from wizards it controlled were all piled together.

The useful ones were refined by it, the useless ones were collected.

“Whatever the case, this matter can’t be separated from humans in Rune Land, they must be admonished to vent my anger!”

…

Thunder Realm.

In the central holy temple of the Priest Ancestor.

A colossal purple giant, standing two thousand meters tall, sat on a throne with a majestic posture.

Column upon column of magnificent Thunder Pattern Wood supported its grand hall.

The central pillar was more than ten thousand meters high, taller than a mountain.

“Recently, I heard that the Thunder Lake Dominator had an invasion by foreign enemies. Probably the humans mentioned by the Spider King from Rune Land. When did such a powerhouse emerge? Or did foreigners find a special way to linger on the Saint Roland Continent?”

“Wait! The Spider King is extremely cunning; thinking like this, I might fall into its trap. This incident is likely orchestrated by the Spider King itself! Simply to justify its future invasion of the Thunder Realm! Who knows if the loss of its avatars is true or false? If it’s true, it must be in a relatively weakened state now. If I were to act, what are the odds of success?”

…

Soon after.

The Rune Land endured a beast siege from the Giant Beast Restricted Area.

Under the leadership of several black beast lords, tens of thousands of black beasts invaded human cities.

The Rune Saints joined forces to repel the black beasts.

The news of the black beast attack reached the other alien races in the Three Realms and Four Lands.

The Flame Country issued a warning to the Giant Beast Restricted Zone:

The Rune Land is a shared colony of the Seven Great Powers. We advise the Spider King to restrain itself, or we will consider dispatching troops to the Giant Beast Restricted Zone.

Similarly, the Merfolk Palace and Feathered People Heavenly Island expressed their dissatisfaction with the unauthorized attack from the Giant Beast Restricted Zone.

The humans on the Saint Roland Continent struggled for survival amidst these powerful alien races.

…

Returning to the Ancient Dragon Continent.

Victor brought back the [Wound-breaking Blade] to Gondor City.

The Level 7 medicinal herb [Flowing Fire Fruit], Earth-Grade Oddity [Red Flame Snake], Level 7 Exotic Treasure [Flame Shield], and that pile of crafting materials from black beasts and mines, including the damaged Seven-Ring Witch Artifact Robe, were all sent over by Victor.
