Requiem(6)

The Mother of Spiders sprung her forelimbs out and swept at Brendel’s back like a sharp machete, the air vibrated as it swung past, creating a transparent band of light in the dark underground.

Brendel heard a shrill sound that resembled an explosion, it was as if the shriek that was just heard had already moved behind him. This was the power of the most powerful creatures; at that moment Brendel remembered the several attack patterns of Anarons’ forelimbs, he pushed the princess forward at the last second and laid the Halran Gaia on his back with a backhand.

A teeth-aching loud ‘bang’ was heard. Although Brendel could not see it, he could feel the moment the Halran Gaia bent due to excessive force, and the power that could not be filtered out pa.s.sed through his body; he felt a ma.s.sive force from behind, and he was sent flying.

The distance between the cliff and himself seemed to suddenly become much closer.

But Brendel knew it was an illusion, instead, he was flying over the crag and over the abyss. Luckily, the Willpower attribute had strengthened his nerves’ tolerance, otherwise, his body’s self protection system would have been triggered and caused him to pa.s.s out from pain. Brendel did not want to fall into the abyss while unconscious.

He was shot forward like a cannonball and his body was flopping in mid-air. Despite the sharp pain rubbing against his nerves like fire he gritted his teeth and thrusted the Halran Gaia towards the ground of the cave.

With the Elemental Awakening power exerting full force, the Halran Gaia pierced directly into the rocks for more than a foot, and a trail of golden sparks appeared in the darkness.

Brendel’s momentum immediately decreased, but the Halran Gaia in his hand still sliced through the cliff as if it was cutting tofu; as his sword carved a deep line into the ground, he neared the cliff’s edge .

All of this happened in less than a blink of an eye, and, as if he hadn’t even drawn another breath, Brendel had already flown off the cliff. He finally stopped his momentum, his action causing a ma.s.s of rocks to tumble down.

Brendel flipped in mid-air, he raised his right hand with the Wind Ring and fired a wind bomb at the cliff on the other side. The air currents converged on top of his ring in a flash then slammed down on top of the rocks on the other side. The huge grey rocks shattered and debris flew everywhere, the intense reaction finally brought Brendel to a momentary halt in the air.

He lifted his head.

The sound of the wind overhead brought about another sharp whine which was the right forelimb of the Mother of Spiders. After she swept out her left limb, with the remaining six limbs supporting her ma.s.sive frame, she raised her right limb and stabbed at Brendel in mid-air.

To the outsiders and even the Silver-ranked knights, both attacks seemed to have happened at the same time. But only Brendel knew that it was actually staggered, this was the most common attack of this cunning creature.

If it couldn’t kill the first move, then the second move would have made up for it perfectly. But this time there was no one to help him distract the creature again. Brendel stared wide-eyed at the scythe-like hooked claw coming closer and closer to him.

But he knew very clearly that it was actually futile, it was too fast, it had even surpa.s.sed the level of his in-depth a.n.a.lysis.

What really took effect was the Darkness Perception attribute he got from the Glow Wave, the magic that flowed through Anarons’ body was like a spark in the dark. It came close to him in an instant.

This was just the moment.

Brendel only had this one chance. He reached out and grabbed the sharp tip of the Mother of Spiders’ right forelimb, his entire body getting dragged back by it.

At that moment time seemed to have slowed down in his perception as he saw himself gripping onto the receding forelimb and being drawn back into the cliff, then approaching the side of the cliff in a beautiful arc. He could almost see the crack that was getting closer, as well as the faces of the knights.

They seemed to have just come back to their senses but were yet to even let out a gasp, Brendel only saw some of them opening their mouths.

He calculated the distance, and as soon as he let go, the crack was already right in front of him.

Perfect landing. He tensed his nerves, then like a cannonball, he slammed into the rock wall with a loud thud.

“Holy s.h.i.+t, ah……” Brendel let out a cry of extreme pain. He never thought that he would make a mistake at the last minute, and in any case, this mistake was enough for him to remember for a long time. It’s scary how hard the rocks underground are.

But he had no time to be chagrined. At once, he cried out desperately, “Pull me in!” Fortunately, the others did not notice this minor mistake of the young Lord, after all, it was already very impressive to be able to escape from that terrible monster.

Anthony’s knights were as if they were just woken up from a dream, the three knights who were standing in front of the rift immediately rushed out and dragged him back. Brendel was not far away at that time, he was only a meter or two off so the knights managed to drag him back easily.

On the other hand, the princess had been pushed toward Babasha’s feet by Brendel. The old witch hurriedly helped her and Sugar Jar inside, although the witch looked skinny and weak, she did have quite a bit of strength. “Thanks,” Gryphine replied weakly, there was a patch of blood on her shoulder and the large blood loss was making her pale face even paler, but she still managed to hold herself together to show her pride as a n.o.ble. It might be difficult for Brendel or other people to understand the n.o.bles who valued pride more than their own lives, but it felt natural to the princess who grew up with such education.

But as for the princess, perhaps there was one more thing that could be added on, which was her stubbornness.

The princess saw Brendel lying on the floor covered in blood and was startled. She asked in a low voice, “Mr. Brendel?”

“I’m fine.” Brendel was not lying, in fact, most of the injuries on his body were sc.r.a.pes from the last full-face hit against the rock wall. He just looked wretched, compared to him, the princess’ injuries were actually much more serious. But Brendel did not have time for nonsense, because the Mother of Spiders has poked her head in from the crack again and was trying to reach her claws in to drag them out.

Everyone was startled and retreated further into the crack. The Mother of Spiders was so close to reaching the knight outside, she could not help but let out a screech of anger that was so high-pitched it sounded like a sharp object slicing across gla.s.s, and it was extremely creepy. Only Brendel knew that the Mother of Spiders could never enter here, though it was not safe here either. He ordered, “Don’t stop, keep retreating further back, there are still many of her offsprings here and she will find a way to have them get in and kill us.”

Everyone was already frightened by Anarons and upon hearing that there were also small spiders, they would not dare to stop , they all hurried to progress into the depths of the rift. Brendel moved forward with help from a knight, and after resting for a while, he finally let out a sigh of relief, then he took out the Health Potion and distributed it to several injured knights and the princess. Of course, there was no need to elaborate on the Health Potion’s power as it only took a moment before all of them were looking at him with curiosity and respect.
