Chapter 602: Method of Killing
The White Bone Giant was forced back half a step by the sudden offensive. With a sweep of its massive bone claw, it raised its arm to block the incoming mass of venom. The potent liquid splashed onto its forearm, instantly corroding it into an indentation, but it was quickly repaired by newly formed bone armor.
“Roar—~!” The spider demon let out a pained scream and violently tore off its infected left forelimb. The severed limb writhed on the ground before twisting into a mass of thorny bone clan. Its remaining seven legs scuttled rapidly, charging towards the White Bone Giant.
Venom.
At a distance of three meters from the giant, the spider demon’s body remained upright, bone spurs already spreading to its core. It spat out a thick purple venomous fog, attempting to block the flames.
“Those ashes condensed into hair-thin bone needles within the venomous fog, their tips gleaming with the spider demon’s own venom.”
“A thin bone clan.”
Several bone needles pierced the dense fog, shooting towards the spider demon like a torrential downpour. It dodged rapidly but was still impaled in its joints by over a dozen bone needles. Horrifically, those bone needles began to take root and sprout fine bone spurs within its body.
Venom.
Those bone needles dug in so deeply that it couldn’t lift its legs.
The Bone Clan was about to step on the charging, venomous spider demon.
“At this critical moment, a silk sprayed by the spider demon accurately entangled the giant’s ankle. These seemingly delicate spider silks were incredibly tough, forcefully halting the giant’s momentum. Simultaneously, countless small spiders climbed up the giant’s leg bone seams, their sharp mandibles frantically gnawing at the gaps in the bone armor.
The venomous spider demon seized this opportunity, its eight legs exerting force simultaneously. It swayed its body and charged like a cannonball towards the giant’s knee joint. “Crack—” With a crisp sound, a subtle crack appeared on the giant’s left leg bone. In pain, it swung its right arm to smash the spider demon fiercely, but the latter nimbly dodged it.
Even more terrifying was that the small spiders had begun to weave webs on the giant’s body. The dense spider silks entangled its joints, severely restricting its movements. The White Bone Giant roared in anger, its black core in its chest spinning rapidly, erupting with a dark green burning flame, attempting to incinerate these annoying spiderwebs.
“The flames are too much of a counter to spider silk undead. Seeing the spider swarm burned to ashes by the dark green flames on the White Bone’s body, Kazumi felt a sense of helplessness. It was just like how [White Bone] felt troublesome to herself. Kazumi also found the current [White Bone] to be equally troublesome.
Facing an enemy who was an undead psychic meant that many of Kazumi’s original advantages couldn’t be utilized. Effects like venom, pain, and curses were basically ineffective against [White Bone]. Coupled with the special flames that countered spider silk and spiders, Kazumi’s attempt to defeat [White Bone] by overwhelming force failed.
Kazumi watched the spider swarm turn to ashes under the dark green flames. The White Bone Giant let out a deafening wild laugh. Its massive body began to twist and deform, blood-red runes appearing all over its bone surface.
Kazumi watched the dark green flames incinerate the small spiders. The White Bone Giant suddenly opened its bone claws, and the scattered ashes gathered into its palm as if summoned. The venomous spider demon keenly sensed danger, its eight legs retreating violently, its abdominal venom glands contracting intensely, spewing out a stream of thick purple…
“The bone spurs had spread to the core, riddling the venom sac with holes. With this roar, the once fierce undead creation crashed to the ground, its body covered in bone patterns like spiderwebs.
The venomous spider demon’s corpse suddenly twitched violently. The bone spurs piercing its body wriggled like living creatures, emitting a spine-chilling “creak.” Its original dark purple bone armor rapidly faded, turning a ghastly white, identical to the White Bone Giant.
“Creak—” With a grating sound of bone friction, the spider demon stood up again in a grotesque manner. All eight leg joints bent backward, as if controlled by puppet strings. Most horrifying was its head—its original six compound eyes had merged into a pair of huge, dark green fireballs, its mouthparts split open to reveal three rows of newly grown spiral bone teeth.
By this point, the venomous spider demon had been transformed by [White Bone] into his subordinate, carrying its broken body, it charged towards its original master in a bizarre posture.
“Come back! Lilith.” Kazumi’s voice in her mind, much like the heroes of the Hero Association, possessed a kind of magic, but that magic was more like making people feel relaxed and at peace.
Lilith lowered her head in regret. Her powerful snow-white physique was fully visible with her bowing, and she apologized to Kazumi.
“However, such an action naturally wouldn’t attract any girlish devotion. She turned to look at [Takeru Kamikami]’s location, then turned back and gave orders.
“It’s fine, it was just meant to buy time. Find a place to hide and don’t let anyone see your appearance.”
“Yes, Lord.”
Watching Lilith’s retreating back, Kazumi didn’t mind Lilith’s guilt over failing her command. After all, she was a hero unit that needed to be protected. Moreover, Lilith’s mental manipulation ability was a crucial part of the Maiden Plan and couldn’t be lost for no reason.
“Focus on [Takeru Kamikami]. Also, be careful not to let the heroes of the Hero Association see Lilith’s appearance. Kazumi’s plan was to embed Lilith within the Hero Association as her spy. If she were recognized later, it would be somewhat awkward for the enemy to know her identity.
The White Bone Giant was getting closer to Kazumi’s location, and the girl’s eyes gradually became serious. The White Bone Giant approached with heavy steps, each one making the ground tremble. The controlled venomous spider demon followed closely, its twisted body exuding a different aura.
“About the right location,” Kazumi whispered softly, her voice as cold as ice.
As Kazumi’s voice fell, the spider demon suddenly stopped its advance. Its bones twisted and contorted frantically, with dense blood-red runes appearing on the surface. Its massive body suddenly began to twist and deform. Bone spurs exposed to the air erupted from within its body. The controlled venomous spider demon’s body instantly expanded and then exploded.
Thick, dark yellow venom splattered everywhere, covering half of the White Bone Giant’s body. Such venomous attacks were essentially ineffective against [White Bone]. Flames immediately ignited on its body, instantly evaporating all the venom.
And in the moment [White Bone] paused, with a deafening roar, the ground beneath the White Bone Giant’s feet suddenly caved in—two holes, clearly a massive sinkhole over twenty meters in diameter!
Countless ghouls burst from the ground in all directions, pouncing on the White Bone Giant whose legs were trapped in the sinkhole.
