Chapter 172: The light within the darkness Part6

Xavier grinned. This trick might have worked on someone else but not him.

“Break for me.” 

The elf shouted and dashed forward, while simultaneously retrieving a ruby gem from his space ring.

The gem sparkled in the darkness of the tunnel and emitted a blinding radiance.

Xavier then unexpectedly crushed the gem resulting in a loud explosive noise.

The next instant a huge ice wall erupted between him and the spider.

Not just the barrier, but the entire section of the tunnel where they were standing turned into a frozen tundra.

The cave’s floor, roof, walls were all covered by a thick sheet of freezing solid ice.

The spider which was spinning around like a maniac was now forced to stop and stumble as it supported itself on the ice layer.

It only slowed it down momentarily as the sharp heavy metallic claws pierced into the solid ice and held its ground.

But this split-second was more than enough for Xavier. 

He leaped closer to the beast again and sent out three consecutive strikes with his sword.

“Blood Slash” He shouted.

His three strikes connected and looked as if they were part of a single attack.

The attacks landed precisely on the joint which connected the metallic claw to the spider and the joint was cleanly shattered.

CLUNK

The huge metallic limb of the spider fell limp on the ground, resulting in a loud clattering noise.

The elf’s grin widened. This fight was almost over!

“Blood Slash” He shouted again and leapt towards the beast which was struggling from the broken leg.

Crack. 

The next instant another joint was shattered and the spider was now skittering on only six of its legs instead of eight.

Seeing that the Prince had already subdued the high-grade undead beast, the others stopped lazing around on the sidelines and came forward to send a few flame serpents towards the beast.

The injuries slowly continued to add up and the spider soon dropped dead, its huge body exploding and spluttering into a green toxic puddle.

Hmm… Xavier stopped. The battle was over. He was about to dodge the toxic puddle but he didn’t do so.

He could feel the strong soul energy arising from the dead corpse of the spider.

The thick wisp of the disintegrated soul immediately flooded into his body and dissolved like candy. 

Everyone else clicked their tongue and swallowed their saliva. They could also tell that Xavier had gained a lot.

But unfortunately, they could only watch.

To the victor goes the spoils! 

Xavier closed his eyes and took a moment to stabilize this wisp of soul and merge it with his own soul strength.

He then flashed his eyes open and quickly turned around, as if he had forgotten something.

Damn it! I forgot about the princess!

He turned around in haste to see if Tang Yue was injured anywhere, but she seemed to be doing just fine.

In fact, she was doing more than fine.

Heh. Xavier wryly chuckled and sighed in relief.

While the others were watching and admiring his combat in awe, the snake was busily scooping up the green toxic ooze from the ground and storing it in her space pearl.

Xavier amusedly shook his head and started collecting the remainder of the spider’s body.

Even though the beast was fully dead and decomposed and couldn’t possibly be consumed, it could still serve several purposes.

For instance, a high-grade toxin could be refined from it. 

No matter how degraded it was, a slice of high-grade beast meat still had its value. So Xavier quickly collected it.

Watching these two busy in action, the others awkwardly swallowed their saliva. 

Damn it. They had received nothing out of this fight.

The group then took a short break in order to help Xavier relax a little.

Tang Xi made sure to sit right next to him and she coyly praised his battle prowess.

Tang Yue on the other hand was deep in her thoughts. 

She was already used to this disgusting sideshow so she didn’t pay attention to it.

She was rather thinking about how exquisite Xavier’s sword art was.

It was too bad that she couldn’t get a hold of Marvin yet because right now she was totally rearing to kick him in his balls so that she could get her hands on an awesome sword technique.

A few more minutes passed and the group started walking into the tunnel again. 

This time they came across some smaller spiders of lower levels and the other elves and the two Tang sisters promptly took care of it without Xavier interfering.

Everybody was in high spirits and they were again competitively hogging to the beasts so that they could gain as much strength as possible.

The battle had drastically changed their mood and invigorated their tired bodies.

In the midst of this heated grinding, suddenly a loud murmur echoed in the distance.

More spiders?

The group of elves and snakes who were fighting for the limited supply of the undead beasts suddenly stopped in their tracks.

FUCK! Someone yelled in the distance. A faint screaming sound could be heard.

“Some other group is here?” One of the elves pondered.

Not long after that, loud footsteps started echoing along with the familiar screeching noises.

SCREEECH SCREEECH SCREEECH SCREEECH SCREEECH

Inside the gigantic cave, suddenly it was difficult to differentiate which was the outside and which was the inside.

The loud ear-piercing screeching sounds seemed to be coming in from all directions.

NO NO NO Run Run

Noooo RUN RUN

Mixed in with the horrid screeching noises, loud blood-curdling screams of pain and agony echoed but it was already too late.

Before anyone could blink, a horde of spiders started scurrying and swarming in their direction.

Spiders were pouring out from everywhere like crazy. They were coming from every small nook and corner.

They were all at most low-grade or mid-grade undead beasts, but their sheer numbers could instill fear in anyone’s heart.
