Chapter 338: The Burrow XII
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Wave after wave of plate-sized baby Wolfspiders were culled en masse under the carpet bombardment Sorcerer’s element-activated creatures and area-of-effect magic spells . Some of them burst into several pieces while others flipped over in agony after getting swept by an energy wave . Their legs curled up, marking the premature end of a life cycle .
These simple lifeforms posed no threat even in great numbers .
Pew! Pew! Pew!
Grimm cast another three using his Sabbatic Goat Staff . The fire bats that could almost be mistaken for real ones, flapped their wings toward the baby Wolfspiders that poured out from their burrow .
As long as the battle was not protracted warfare like that happened in Shadow World, Grimm had the confidence to continue fighting using his fifty percent mana-saving Sabbatic Goat Staff and two sets of lower-tier demon-hunting equipment that he prepared for this expedition .
Three shock waves following the fiery explosions of his Fire Bat Spell, each measuring at roughly two meters, burned some spiderlings into cinder while leaving a great number roasted .
“Incoming!”
Alas, Thought Echo struck again .
Grimm could not help feeling a little uneasy in his Wild Instinct Metamorphosis form, but he was able to keep fighting . He could still take it .
Unfortunately, besides the other two Level-2 Sorcerers and Nairo who enjoyed the luxury of double protection from two sorcerer barriers, the rest of the Demon-Hunters had to endure being critically harmed by the spell despite early warning .
Many of them rested on their staff and covered their ears . Their every muscle tensed . The look on their faces was enough to describe the extremity that they were going through .
Receiving the full blow of the attack, they tried to hold it to prevent the inevitable . To those clueless eyes, they looked like procrastinating apprentices about to fall asleep while holding onto their staff .
Some could even be likened to drunkards as their bodies swung back and forth .
As the affected Demon-Hunters started to hallucinate, their mental control over the summoned element-activated creatures loosened .
“Cock-a-doodle-doo!”
Out of nowhere, a long cry similar to a rooster crowing at dawn from the Sorcerer World snapped them out of delusion .
The source turned out to be from Saris . The rooster on her zodiac table raised its head and let out a long crow . It was so soothing that the Demon-Hunters under the effect of the Thought Echo were instantly cured of their hallucinations and their visions went back to normal .
The elemental-activated creatures summoned by them also started to stabilize, preventing them from despawning .
Besides feeling a little chilled, the Demon-Hunters who were aware that they were once again attacked by the Thought Echo brandished their staff in rage, casting multiple strange spells .
It was then an old sorcerer who did not act his age started to emit purplish gases . Sorcery tattoos moved all over his transparent body . Elemental oscillation took place in a manner that Grimm could not comprehend .
Bang!
The veteran sorcerer cast an elemental spell by the swing of his mighty big staff without much effort . The one-meter long destructive spell was sent flying thirty meters away . Mass scale of Wolfspiders that were caught in the path exploded into tiny pieces .
“Take this! Corrosive Blood! ”
The pale-skinned Demon-Hunter from Grimm’s squad opened his mouth widely . From between his two sharp fangs, he spat out a stream of dark red blood .
The foul-smelling blood took the shape of a snake and quickly slithered across the battlefield . Any Wolfspider that was caught by it was instantly corroded . Even those spiderlings that were in the vicinity were severely weakened and made short work by the nearby element activated creatures .
Pew, pew, pew, pew…
The Demon-Hunters pushed back the baby Wolfspiders without disturbance of the Thought Echo . Merely twenty adult Wolfspiders and thousands of its offsprings had no chance against the fourteen-man strong Demon-Hunters .
Ka-chak!
Suddenly, with the tightening of a ten-meter-long pincer, an adult Wolfspider was split into half! Apparently, it was impatient and rushed into battle when their hallucination tactic failed .
“Thousand-eyed Carcinus, take care of all the adult Wolfspiders!” Grimm shouted .
Grimm and his comrades continued to instruct the element-activated creatures, casting several elemental spells here and there and steadily advanced .
With the support of both alarm rooster and double elemental protection from Nairo and two other Rank-2 Demon-Hunters, they were able to keep fighting at full strength . The victory was guaranteed .
This reminded Grimm of the Bright Sorcerers .
The mutual support between the two teams of Dark Sorcerers was the battle tactic of Bright Sorcerers .
The simple supportive actions created an impressive synergy that multiplied their fighting capabilities . One could almost imagine what the Bright Sorcerers could do with their highly trained and disciplined members .
“Yes, Master . ”
Responding to Grimm’s command, the Thousand-eyed Carcinus emitted hundreds of red beams at the baby Wolfspiders from its many eyes on its torso . The affected baby Wolfspiders stood still for a moment, then started attacking each other .
In an instant, the Wolfspiders that were pouring in became chaotic .
After this prolonged battle, the Wolfspiders that once outnumbered the Demon-Hunters by thousands had lost its advantage in number, and the ability to turn the tide of battle .
Bang! Bang!
Thousand-eyed Carcinus stood up . Its massive body was fifteen meters tall and thirty meters long from side to side . Not to mention its huge pair of pincers and brownish red-colored hairy back .
It juxtaposed with the largest and adult Wolfspider that was just standing at three meters .
Boing!
The difference in size did not stop the adult Wolfspider’s ferocious nature to pounce onto Thousand-eyed Carcinus’ body . Its jaw wide-opened, ready to deliver a nasty bite .
Clap!
Thousand-eyed Carcinus immediately swept it away with its mighty big pincers . When the dust settled, the almost unrecognizable carcass of Wolfspider was oozing goo on the ground .
Looking at the chaotic situation among the baby Wolfspiders, Grimm took advantage of the height and dove toward his target . The Sabbatic Goat Staff in his hands transformed into Goat Horn Hammer . With a firm grip on the handle of his weapon, he swung as hard as he could!
A two-meter-long adult Wolfspider noticed Grimm and launched itself into the air to counter him in mere nano-seconds . The massive creature was so quick that it looked like it had warped . One could only imagine the strength of its legs!
Piak!
The moment the Goat Horn Hammer made contact with the adult Wolfspider’s hard chitinous shell, a high-intensity shock wave was generated . The Wolfspider stopped mid-air like time itself was stopped .
Just when everyone thought that it was going to hit the ground with a heavy thud, the carcass fell down softly like a feather .
Upon closer examination, a twenty-centimeter-round wound formed at the point of impact . Its internal organs and chitin were shattered by the high-intensity shockwave and turned into powder and juice .
Drip…Drip… Drip…
The carcass was dripping liquid before it reached the ground .
Unexpectedly…
When the dead Wolfspider hit the ground that was supposed to be rock-hard, it swirled up some sand . Apparently, the ground was also shattered by the high-intensity shockwave, and ground into fine sand and mineral ashes .
Those who witnessed this scene, including Grimm’s squad and the two Rank-2 Demon-Hunters were impressed .
The Sabbatic Goat Staff could be used as both a ranged weapon and close-combat weapon?
That was unbelievably overpowered!
Perhaps Grimm was a Demon-Hunter with mastery in alchemy?
***
The entire battle lasted for merely ten minutes . The plate-sized Wolfspiders carcasses were everywhere as far as the eye could see . The traces of the earlier violent battle was still fresh .
Everyone followed the trail through the self-imploded Wolfspider Web with caution and a tinge of curiosity . Into the Wolfspider Burrow they went .
