"All this is caused by the city lord Alan. He is the only spellcaster here who has the ability to compete with me."
Looking at the people who were surrounded by the wall of fire and whose lives were temporarily safe, Ms. Spider said in a deep voice, with a fearful and ferocious look in her eyes.
Following Ms. Spider's line of sight, Rhodes also saw the calm spellcaster in the center of the crowd.
He was a middle-aged man with a certain kind of unique majesty. When he was among the crowd, even if he made no other movements, Rhodes could spot his presence at a glance.
Beside him, the high-level swordsman Samson was guarding with his sword. Occasionally, a spider broke through the fire wall and rushed towards Alan. What greeted it would be Samson swinging from his hand.
Blade.
Not long ago, when Rhodes asked Bisha for information about the city, he also heard Bisha mention that regarding the information about the city lord Alan, he seemed to be a powerful spellcaster and it was difficult to deal with him by ordinary means.
.
Looking at the wall of fire that surrounded everyone, Rhodes looked thoughtful.
Space spells such as teleportation and the gate of time and space were only spread on the continent with the rise of Brakada magic. However, in the era corresponding to the illusion, these magics did not appear at all. Even Asia
No matter how powerful Lan is at casting spells, she cannot use space magic to save the humans in the city.
With the appearance of the giant spider, Rhodes and the spider lady on it were also seen by everyone in the fire wall circle.
"It's Ms. Spider, and the dark yellow demon who released the disease and rescued the heretics!" A crusader holding a torch shouted loudly.
After hearing the crusader's words, Samson's expression suddenly changed. Of course he knew who the dark yellow demon was. Not long ago, he had reached some kind of deal with that demon. Unexpectedly, that demon actually
Related to the scary spider lady.
"City Lord, what should we do?" Samson asked for instructions.
Alan's expression did not change, he shook his head slightly, and said loudly: "Don't panic, I have sent people to ask for help. It won't be long before the holy army stationed not far away will arrive. The high-ranking priests in the army will
, can easily deal with these enemies."
Hearing Aram's words, the besieged people cheered up. They all understood that the high-ranking priest was powerful enough to easily destroy all the infidels who came to offend.
"We will stick here and use all your strength." Alan said slowly, his eyes always staring at the giant spider in the distance.
Faced with Alan's gaze, Ms. Spider showed disdain in her eyes, while Rhodes seemed to have discovered something and looked at the fallen body nearby with some concern.
Leaping from the giant spider, Rhodes came to a shriveled corpse among the spiders.
Rhodes noticed that the body had many small holes. In addition, it had completely shriveled up, its skin was deeply wrinkled, and both flesh and bones underneath had disappeared.
On several other corpses that were still intact, there were a large number of spiders lying on their backs, extending their mouthparts and sucking continuously. As they sucked, the originally plump corpses quickly collapsed, and the size of the spiders also increased.
The aura of the King of Diseases on his body is also stronger.
This discovery undoubtedly made Rhodes realize something.
"I didn't expect water-soluble plague to have such an effect..." Rhodes said slowly.
"What are you talking about?" The veiled spider lady glanced at Rhodes and asked.
Rhodes replied solemnly: "I just discovered that for you, the water-soluble plague may not only be as simple as killing the enemy, but more importantly, those spiders can be improved through the corpses left by the water-soluble plague. Ordinary
Epidemics cannot do this."
Hearing what Rhodes said, Ms. Spider's eyes seemed to narrow into slits. Under the veil, although Rhodes couldn't see her face, he could still imagine what kind of smile she was showing.
"You observe very carefully." She said softly, "Do you know how spiders eat?"
Rhodes frowned and answered uncertainly: "Tie other creatures with spider webs and eat them directly?"
After hearing what Rhodes said, Ms. Spider shook her head: "Spiders will inject a kind of digestive juice into other organisms, and then wait until everything in the other organisms has melted into liquid under the action of the digestive juice, and then they will suck the liquid."
."
Rhodes nodded thoughtfully and said: "This sounds like the content of a sorcerer's research, but even in the mystic arts, there are very few records in this regard."
"Really? I think this is more like common sense." Ms. Spider smiled, and then said: "The water-soluble plague is to improve the spider's ability to the extreme, and spread it with the help of disease messengers, and finally formed
Everything you see."
Hearing what she said, Rhode nodded and then glanced at the corpse not far away.
"Can I try it?" Rhodes asked.
"Are you going to try like a spider?" Ms. Spider glanced at the dark yellow demon with a look of interest in her eyes.
Seeing him nodding, Ms. Spider thought for a while and said: "If you believe that your body can resist the water-soluble disease, you can try whatever you want."
Following Ms. Spider's words, all the spiders approaching the corpse gave way, leaving the corpse that died under the water-soluble plague free.
Without any hesitation, Rhodes came to the corpse whose flesh and blood had completely melted. He lifted it up without any effort. After biting open the corpse's arm, warm and slightly fishy heat flowed into his mouth. p>
And Rhodes seemed to feel something, and sucked it hard. Soon, only a layer of shriveled skin remained on the body, and all the liquid turned into by the water-soluble plague was drank by Rhodes.
"How do you feel now?" Noticing Rhodes' intoxicated expression, Ms. Spider asked proactively.
"I feel the power, and the power exists in my body." Rhodes said slowly.
When he drank the liquid, the Gluttony Contract in Rhode's body seemed to be affected by something, turning the heat flowing into his body into pure power, which fed back to Rhode's whole body. This also made Rhode feel
The wonderful feeling of increased strength.
Unfortunately, because we were in a fantasy realm, there was no word about attribute improvement in the system log. Instead, the disease pustule on Rhodes' left shoulder that had shriveled up now bulged again.
The feeling coming from his body made Rhodes clearly realize that the ability of the water-soluble plague can still be effective after he escapes from the illusion. In other words, only then will the true ability of the water-soluble plague be revealed. p>
