60: Phase Spider Queen Death

In the deep, dark cave, I stood on a towering rock platform, my gaze like a torch, watching the Spider Queen's massive body tumble and fall through the air.

This was the perfect moment to cast Hunter's Mark, a first-level hunter spell.

I lightly tapped my finger, and an invisible magical mark instantly imprinted itself on the Spider Queen's body.

Her struggling figure in the air was subtly outlined by a faint glow, making her stand out.

Immediately, I quickly drew a poisoned arrow from my system space, aiming at the Spider Queen who was still tumbling in the air.

However, just as the arrow left the string, the Spider Queen's figure twisted and vanished again, merging into the void.

Lilian's Water Elemental torrent, Fiona's vines, the Dragon King's Wind Blade, and Randall's greatsword all lost their targets at this moment.

The Phase Spider Queen once again displayed her elusive abilities.

When the Spider Queen reappeared, she was ten meters away.

Her eight compound eyes locked onto the spider eggs on the platform, which I had mercilessly destroyed with Thunderwave.

The broken eggshells and flowing egg fluid symbolized the cruel interruption of her bloodline's continuation.

At this moment, the Spider Queen's compound eyes gradually emitted a terrifying red glow, like the fires of hell burning fiercely in the abyss.

As her rage surged, the Spider Queen's body suddenly expanded in anger, her muscles tensed, and her exoskeleton gleamed with an ominous luster.

Her body nearly doubled in size, and her eight long legs struck the ground with dull thuds, like war drums beating.

Immediately after, the Spider Queen opened her giant mouth, filled with sharp, serrated teeth, and spewed forth a sky-full of acidic spider silk from its depths.

These spider silks rapidly intertwined in the air, like twisting venomous snakes, or a dense, impenetrable web of death, carrying deadly corrosiveness and a pungent, acidic odor as they attacked us.

Wherever the spider silk passed, rocks were corroded, the air was polluted, and the entire cave seemed to be enveloped in a shadow of death.

Seeing this, we immediately initiated emergency evasive maneuvers.

A Water Elemental stood in front of Lilian, blocking most of the acid and spider silk for her.

The ice shield in front of Lilian spun rapidly, deflecting the small amount of acid that fell towards her.

Fiona quickly summoned vines, forming a green barrier that blocked some of the spider silk attacks.

The Dragon King circled in the air, skillfully avoiding this wave of attack.

Randall raised his shield, blocking all the falling spider silk and acid.

I, with the boost of Jump, agilely dodged the spider silk and acid that fell towards me.

The air was filled with a pungent, acidic smell, mixed with a tense atmosphere, making it difficult to breathe.

Each of us was on edge, fully committed to dealing with this sudden crisis.

Amidst the chaos, the Spider Queen teleported again, instantly appearing on the platform, her massive body pressing down on me like a mountain.

I unhesitatingly cast Thunderwave again; a bolt of lightning burst forth from my body, pushing the Spider Queen back over three meters.

However, this time the Thunderwave's damage to the Spider Queen was noticeably reduced; her inflated size seemed to have made her stronger.

Staying on the platform would only put me in a more dangerous situation.

While the effect of Jump was still active, I unhesitatingly leaped off the platform, preparing to return to my teammates' side.

However, fate always seems to enjoy playing tricks on me.

Just as I was in mid-air, the Spider Queen appeared beside me like a ghost, her massive venomous fangs glinting coldly, like two lightning bolts, biting at me with incredible speed.

My heart seemed to stop beating at that moment; the aura of death rushed towards me.

Just at this critical juncture, a familiar figure leaped into mid-air, shielding me with his sturdy body.

It was Randall! His eyes were filled with determination and fearlessness.

His greatsword, at the crucial moment, was like a bolt of lightning, piercing through the Spider Queen's body.

At the same time, the Spider Queen's venomous fangs mercilessly pierced through his chainmail, sinking into his shoulder.

We fell to the ground together, dust flying, pain and fear intertwined.

The Spider Queen tried to flash away again, but Randall held his greatsword tightly, firmly embedded in her abdomen, unmoving.

The Spider Queen's venomous fangs slowly withdrew from Randall's shoulder; the gushing blood instantly stained his chainmail red.

The Spider Queen prepared to bite his head again, attempting to immediately finish off this brave warrior.

However, at this moment of life and death, the Dragon King's Wind Blade precisely struck the Spider Queen's head.

The Wind Blade's stun chance miraculously activated at this moment; the Spider Queen froze for a moment, as if solidified by time.

This only delayed her for a brief moment, but it was enough to change the tide of the battle.

Fiona's magical vines, like spiritual snakes emerging from their lair, quickly wrapped around the Spider Queen's body.

Immediately after, the Water Elemental's ice blades, like sharp ice crystals, sliced through the Spider Queen's body.

Several vines pierced through the Spider Queen's exoskeleton, and the ice blades cut her into several large pieces.

The Spider Queen's massive body disintegrated under the intertwining forces of ice and vines.

Finally, this Phase Spider Queen let out a mournful shriek, her last wail.

Her massive body fell apart, collapsing to the ground with a thud, completely losing all signs of life.

Fiona's animated spellvine armor quickly moved the long vines on her legs, bringing her swiftly to Randall's side.

The remaining two heavily wounded Phase Spiders were handled by two Water Elementals and the Dragon King, and the battle ended shortly after.

The three of us gathered around Randall, treating his wounds.

A brief calm returned to the cave, with only our panting and Randall's groans echoing in the air.
