Feeling the power of the water-soluble plague, Rhodes felt bursts of emotion in his heart.
Although the ability in the Gluttony Contract greatly reduced Rhodes' satiety, making him never feel full no matter how much he ate, the process of devouring itself took a lot of time, especially when When there are a lot of corpses waiting to be devoured.
The emergence of water-soluble plague has undoubtedly greatly simplified this process. Drinking the liquid transformed from the flesh and blood of other creatures does not take much time.
Seeing Rhodes showing a very satisfied look, Ms. Spider looked at him deeply: "Don't you reject this?"
Rhodes glanced at her with some confusion: "What do you mean by this?"
Ms. Spider thought for a while and replied: "I have seen some people who follow that existence and spread the disease like me. Even they may not be able to accept the power of water-soluble disease, let alone try the influence of water-soluble disease. corpse. Or is it that a pure-blooded demon like you has long been used to all this?"
Rhodes shrugged and said: "What kind of creature can reject power? Water-soluble plague can give me this power. I don't care what other demons think. I like water-soluble plague very much."
Hearing what he said, Ms. Spider stared at the dark yellow demon in front of her. After a while, she said: "It seems that you do have something unique. Let's have a good talk after the battle."
After saying that, she seemed to have discovered something and looked into the distance: "My spider told me that the high-ranking priest has arrived outside the city and is temporarily trapped by the spider web, but he will be here soon."
After hearing what she said, Rhodes' expression also changed. He knew the power of the high-level priest.
According to the relationship between the ranks, the rank corresponding to the high-level priest has reached the sixth level corresponding to the epic creature. However, in terms of strength, the high-level priest is similar to the caster profession and is stronger than the professions at the same level.
Like Samson before, if he faced an ordinary high-level priest, he would probably end up defeated.
Fortunately, the Spider Lady next to Rhodes also has sixth-level strength. Even if she faces a high-level priest, there is no difference in level. Even if a battle begins, the final result will be another matter.
"What are you going to do? Eliminate these people, or just retreat?" Rhode asked, looking at Ms. Spider aside.
She shook her head and said: "I came here, in addition to looking for the demon who follows the existence like me, and more importantly, to spread the disease throughout the earth."
"It's a pity that those Erathians responded in time and even organized a holy army to prepare to launch a conquest against us. What they don't know is that these actions of theirs will only lead to the arrival of a more powerful disease." Spider. The lady seemed to have thought of something, and her tone became serious.
Having said this, she jumped to Rhodes' side, raised her hand at the same time, and gently patted the giant spider.
As if receiving some kind of order, the giant spider quickly waved its eight spider legs on both sides of its body, digging a large hole in the ground, and disappeared into it without its entire body.
After noticing the giant spider's movements, Rhodes seemed to have discovered something. He gently placed his hand on the ground and could feel a faint vibration, moving towards the human in the center of the fire wall.
The nearby tiny spider also entered the tunnel dug by the giant spider and disappeared.
In the distance, the humans surrounded by the wall of fire also realized that something was wrong. They felt the vibrations getting closer and closer. The emotions of anxiety and fear began to spread in everyone's hearts.
"Before the high-level priest gets here, I will wipe out all the people here." Next to Rhodes, Ms. Spider said slowly.
As she finished speaking, the giant spider jumped over the wall of fire and emerged from the ground among the crowd. Along with it, there were countless tiny spiders.
The appearance of these spiders instantly destroyed the formations that humans had maintained. The only thing people could rely on was the torches they kept waving in their hands, but the space for movement was getting smaller and smaller.
Although the wall of fire separated the nearby humans from the large group of spiders in the city, it also restricted the range of activities of these humans. Under the constant approach of the spiders, the humans who could not bear the pressure turned and rushed into the wall of fire.
Even with multiple burns on their bodies, these people still crossed the fire wall, but what waited for them behind the fire wall was not a safe pure land, but a larger number of spiders that had been waiting for a long time.
Relying on the tunnel dug by the giant spider, the fire wall magic can no longer stop the spiders from entering, but Alan cannot just disperse the fire wall. If he disperses the fire wall, the spiders waiting outside the fire wall will immediately kill everyone inside.
"We can't go on like this."
Noticing that the nearby humans suffered heavy casualties, and even the Crusaders fell surrounded by spiders, the city lord Alan said anxiously. He looked at Samson aside, with full anxiety in his eyes.
"If we just defend like this, we may not be able to survive until the high-level priests arrive. Before that, the only way for us to survive is to kill the source of the mutation."
Alan stretched out his hand and pointed at the spider lady outside the fire wall and the dark yellow monster beside him.
"Samson, you are the strongest swordsman in the city. I will open a passage in the wall of fire later. You need to quickly pass through the passage to destroy the spider lady and the demons around her."
Although Samson couldn't see the direction Alan was pointing in, he also understood how difficult this task was.
In the midst of a large swarm of spiders, everything nearby was moving, and even Samson had a hard time locating the Spider Lady.
"I'm afraid... there's no way to finish it." He said hesitantly.
"Everyone's life depends on you now. Don't you want to become a sword master? As long as you complete this task, you will definitely be rewarded by the Holy See." Alan advised.
Hearing what he said, Samson felt a little hesitant. Just as he was about to become determined, his spirit suddenly fell into a trance.
Outside the fire wall, Rhodes held a magic eye in one hand, which was what he brought out before leaving Samson's house.
The person connected to this magic eye was still Samson himself. Rhodes just stared at this magic eye quietly without any other unnecessary actions. Rhodes knew that everything in the outside world entered Samson's mind through this magic eye.
After a long time, Samson's expression inside the fire wall became firm.
"Very well, let's destroy those heretics, Samson." Alan said slowly, while controlling the spell to open a passage in the fire wall.
Suddenly, Alan felt a pain in front of him. He lowered his head blankly, only to see a sword blade piercing his chest.
