121 Glory of the Sun (1/2)

Elizabeth exchanged hundreds of bouts with the spider queen without being hit once. The pressure on her was not light. The other party was after all still a Transcendent level being.

She neither wanted to be hit nor could she afford to be hit. If the attack landed on the tower, there wasn't much of a problem. But if it landed on her body directly, she would just be like anyone else and be reduced to a bloody paste.

The Lower East District had become completely flat without a single building or piece of building left standing, while the ground was riddled with small craters and more corpses.

Before the crawlers reached the wall, a fifth of them had already been killed off after being caught in their queen's battle.

Queen Arachnia did not frown nor felt a single shred of guilt for their deaths. Her race was one without compassion. The moment she was born, her brothers and sisters were both her rivals and her source of sustenance. Looking at the crawlers below her was akin to looking at food. There were no sentiments and only cold indifference.

She was forced to the surface to take revenge on the humans for wiping out half her source of sustenance, but the beauty of the surface allured her from her original purpose for surfacing.

”Hmm... Damn human, your puny attacks are starting to hurt this Queen!” Queen Arachnia frowned.

No matter how strong her defense was, as long as it can be damaged, it will eventually break once the damage accumulated enough.

”This Queen can tell that you can't keep this on for much longer. There is a fundamental difference in strength between our races.”

Even though the spider queen's defense could be broken in a few more attacks, she unconcerned about it and remained calm and collected like it was just a trifling issue.

Her transcendent-level strength came purely from her Transcendent fleshly body. It was different to a human Transcendent that was more balanced between energy, body and soul. As long as her fleshly body wasn't destroyed, her strength was inexhaustible. She would never tire.

Elizabeth had yet to reach the Transcendent level, as such, she was sweating profusely from the excessive usage of her ability.

Elizabeth already knew she would not be able to kill the spider queen. She only had a single purpose throughout the entire fight, and it was to stall for time. It was impossible to defeat a Transcendent without possessing the strength of one.

”Hmm? What is that red light?” Queen Arachnia frowned at the sudden appearance in the sky.

Due the difference in their path to Transcendency, the spider queen did not recognize the strange phenomenon in the sky when it happened.

However, when Elizabeth saw it, she sighed with relief. She naturally recognizes what the phenomenon entailed. Crazy Don had successfully transcended.

”That is the light of someone stepping into the ranks of Transcendents. This Queen will not play with you any longer. Someone else will come to play.”

The spider queen's frown deepened at her words. She couldn't land a single attack. How can she allow this human to leave without getting even!?

”Do you think this Queen will just let you leave?!”

When she wanted to stop the human from leaving, a palm-size cauldron came flying over to greet her face, immediately earning her displeasure. Her face was the only part of her body that remained untouched.

She was forced to stop her attack on the human queen to swat flying cauldron away. It immediately exploded on impact when she tried to do so. Her upper body was soon engulf in flames that was exceeded her body's resistance to flames and inflicted her with pain she had not felt in a long time.

”Ahhhhh! How dare you humans harmed this Queen's beautiful face!” The spider queen roared with indignation and fury.

It was apparent that even though she wasn't human, as long as she was a woman, she would similarly pay a whole load of importance to her beauty.

The spider queen flailed her body crazily in her attempt to put out the flame that stuck to her like a sore thumb.

A raucous laughter soon made its way into her ears and aroused her heavy killing intent.

'You think this is funny!?'

”Hahahaha! Let this Don join in on the fun!”

Crazy Don glided over from the royal palace in an exuberant mood. He had already shed his old self and returned with youthful vigor. Even Elizabeth was surprised and failed to recognize him, if not for his words.

”Crazy Don, where is your sword? How can you fight unarmed?” Elizabeth immediately asked with creased brows.

”Hahaha… you're also here. I've already transcended. I don't need a weapon. I have these babies.”

Crazy Don gestured for Elizabeth to look at the items strapped to his body, which was a bunch of palm-size cauldron.

Elizabeth's face twitched. Of course, she was here! Who else could stop the spider queen's rampage if not her!? Of course, she knows he transcended. It was plain obvious from the signs in the sky. He didn't need to tell her that, but how could some cauldrons possibly be enough to contend another Transcendent!?
