"Squish!"
With Raine’s Armor-Piercing Strike, he struck the forehead of the slightly smaller male Deep Moss Spider.
Only then did Laisa co back to her senses, delivering a Flash Stab, her matte black dagger sinking into the forehead of the grievously injured Death Wolf Spider.
As both Demon Spiders fell to the ground, Laisa felt a sense of deflation.
Because she had already decided to give up on the assassination.
As for leaving the organization... she’ll have to take it one step at a ti.
Laisa cast a complex gaze at the two, and murmured: "Take care of yourselves."
Then, she imdiately turned around and left.
Her cryptic words left Raine and Elise staring at each other in surprise.
"Wasn’t she here for the spider silk? Why did she leave without taking any?" Elise blinked, watching Miss Rogue swiftly disappear from sight, puzzled.
However, Raine had a vague idea, and glanced at the disappearing figure at the cave entrance and said:
"Perhaps... she has urgent matters."
Speaking, Raine walked over to the male Deep Moss Spider, switched his Warhamr for a dagger, and began to dig into the vibrant spider abdon.
Soon, he extracted a fist-sized clump of white spider silk.
Yet, the Deep Moss Spider doesn’t just contain this little silk.
In fact, besides this ford clump of spider silk, it also contains a cavity akin to the size of a thermos, storing a large quantity of liquid silk paste.
However, this liquid silk paste cannot be utilized for weaving.
As for the expelled silk, the proteins have denatured upon eting air and similarly cannot be used to make Spider Silk Robes.
Thus, a Monster Level spider can only yield this small clump of ford spider silk.
From one perspective, the Monster Level spider’s rarity and difficulty are largely due to only producing this single clump of ford spider silk.
"Wonderful, thank you, Mr. Raine!"
"Two clumps of spider silk, no, three from the Monster Level is enough to make Spider Silk Robes!"
Receiving the two clumps of spider silk from Raine, Elise smiled sweetly, carefully wiped them clean, and kept them in her little bag.
"By the way, Mr. Raine, did you just cast a Freezing Ray?"
"And the counter with the shield, was it a type of Shield Combat Skills?"
Elise, in high spirits, began asking incessantly.
For Raine’s performance just now was truly astonishing!
"Mr. Raine, you’re amazing! No wonder Reya said your strength is on par with Classes, if not surpassing them."
Elise crossed her arms in admiration, eyes fixed on Raine.
This made Raine slightly blush.
Having never dated in two lifetis, facing a beautiful girl’s praise, he felt both a bit embarrassed and a surge of aspiration.
Simply put, it was thrilling!
...
anwhile.
In a three-story villa far away in Dorne City.
A gentle laughter emanated from the study on the second floor: "Oh? Seems the target was found."
"Yet no action was taken."
"Let assist you then!"
In the room, Lilith in a light red Mage Robe smiled and stood up, while beneath her, a Pentagram Array, glowing with eerie green light, suddenly appeared.
With Lilith extending her fair hand towards the Pentagram Array, a semi-transparent illusion erged above it.
If Raine were present, he certainly would recognize the transparent illusion to be identical to the Miss Rogue who just departed.
"Shh!"
As Lilith released a pulsating black ray with her hand, the transparent illusion beca gradually enveloped in black aura.
Simultaneously.
A vague, colossal silhouette could be discerned behind Lilith in the void.
.....
Suddenly!
From the Deep Moss Spider Cave entrance ca a woman’s painful moan.
Instantly, both Raine and Elise recognized the voice as that of Miss Rogue who had just left.
’Did she encounter a monster?’ This thought erged almost simultaneously in their minds.
Miss Rogue’s footsteps appeared slightly erratic as she returned.
"Damn it!"
"The mark is problematic!"
"I’m losing control, run, you must..."
"Ah!!"
In the next second, Laisa scread loudly, then she oddly cald down, and the hood she always wore slipped off.
A cascade of brown hair fell down, while her limbs trembled unnaturally.
When her head was raised again, Elise’s face turned pale, and she quickly covered her mouth.
’Oh my! This... this is....’ Elise scread internally.
Raine was equally stunned!
In the next mont, his expression beca suprely solemn.
Though he knew not what occurred within Miss Rogue, the current situation unmistakably indicated she seed ’out of control’ or ’infected’.
Raine couldn’t ascertain which term described it accurately.
But what mattered was the Miss Rogue before them was no longer the sa.
What Raine saw was a twisted visage, bloodshot eyes with black rays resembling a zombie from past films — infected, with small black energy writhing like worms on her wheat-colored skin.
Simultaneously.
Raine’s mind started racing:
’Fight or withdraw?’
’Fight!’
’Use charge to knock her out?’
’Inappropriate, as her condition is unclear.’
’Replace the cold Goblin Bloodline with the Deep Moss Spider Bloodline?’
’No, though web spraying is useful, the Spiritual Power expenditure is unknown, which could impede tactical execution!’
After a series of thoughts and decisions, Raine made the first move — lightly tapping the Obsidian Defender with his Warhamr.
"Clang!"
Because if she’s entirely out of control, perhaps sound could draw her attention, preventing her from targeting Elise first.
If not, she should react.
"Swish!"
Responding to Raine was an image quick as lightning.
Though lacking the grace and fluidity of Miss Rogue’s prior movents, the speed was undeniably swift.
In rely a blink.
She leapt from four or five ters away to Raine’s front; the dagger in her hand aid downward fiercely with a gusty force!
"Such speed!"
Raine’s pupils narrowed, imdiately blocking with the Shield!
"Clang!!!"
Upon first contact, Raine was pushed back three steps!
Her casual thrust matched the full-force Armor-Piercing Strike of a Gray Dwarf!
’How drastically did her Power increase!’
Compared to Miss Rogue’s deanor earlier, the present state showed imnse strength growth.
Before he could adjust his posture, another loud ’Clang’ resonated, with her wielding the dagger as a short sword, sweeping it and catapulting Raine!
The controlled Miss Rogue continued unabated, charging rapidly towards Raine still mid-air!
Undoubtedly, should the vulnerably positioned Raine be struck, even with the newly acquired Plate Armor Chest Plate, injuries would be significant.
"Raine!" Elise called out anxiously, hand gripping the Holy Emblem, swiftly chanting.
But chanting required ti.
There was no ti left!
In a split second!
Mid-air, Raine’s form underwent dramatic change, his stature suddenly enlarging, muscles bulging, veins popping...
