Wizard Earl

Like most magical beasts equivalent to a human wizard in strength, this Blood-Striped Evil Spider possessed remarkably high intelligence. In its battle with Dezerby, it displayed exceptional cleverness, seemingly discerning Dezerby's weakness as a magic-skilled wizard: his lack of close-combat prowess. Utilizing its incredibly strong shell, it relentlessly charged forward, biting and ramming Dezerby, while occasionally emitting shrill cries to disrupt Dezerby's mental state.

Faced with the Bloodstained Evil Spider's frenzied and cunning attacks, even the experienced and resourceful Dezelby was finding himself somewhat overwhelmed. After only a few exchanges, the situation began to turn perilous.

Meanwhile, with the help of the Castia Staff, Connor killed an adult evil spirit spider beside him and repelled the remaining three adult evil spirit spiders. He then noticed the situation around Dezerby and observed the appearance of the Blood-Striped Evil Spirit Spider, which possessed the strength of a formal wizard.

Although Connor was very happy to see De Zelby in trouble, unfortunately, their search team was in a very dangerous situation at this time, and Connor himself was in danger of being wiped out if they were not careful.

After all, no matter how skilled Connor was in single combat, he couldn't possibly survive an attack from a single Bloodstained Evil Spider and dozens of adult Evil Spiders. Therefore, Connor needed DeZelby alive at this moment. Whether it was to shield him from the Bloodstained Evil Spider now, or to help relieve some of the pressure during a possible breakout and escape, DeZelby was invaluable.

So seeing Dezelby falling into a disadvantageous position and possibly being slowly devoured by the Blood-Patterned Evil Spider, Connor did not stand idly by. A flash of black light appeared in his hand, and a Hades Spear with restrained light condensed in his hand, which he then hurled at the Blood-Patterned Evil Spider.

"Click!"

The Blood-Patterned Evil Spider, which had just torn through Dezerby's defenses and was about to take a bite out of him, was suddenly attacked by Connor. Under the powerful force of the Hades Spear, its furry body swayed and it almost fell to the ground. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Dezerby quickly retreated three meters away and raised his staff again to build up layers of ice walls to defend himself.

Although the Blood-Striped Evil Spider was forced to give up its chance to harm Dezerby due to Connor's sneak attack, it did not appear to be seriously injured. Hades's Buy only left a mark or scratch on its solid black shell.

The Blood-Patterned Evil Spider, under attack, scanned its surroundings with its small black eyes, somewhat puzzled. However, Connor had already concealed his aura and hidden among the group of Arbitrators who were being attacked. Unable to find its target, the Blood-Patterned Evil Spider did not think much and focused its attention on Dezerby again, shrieking as it launched a new wave of attacks.

Seeing this, Connor's face showed a faint smile. This move to pull DeZelby was quite clever. Although going all out could hurt the Blood-Striped Evil Spider, it would not kill it instantly. The injured Blood-Striped Evil Spider would then be attracted to him, which would make DeZelby very happy, while Connor himself would be left speechless with regret.

Ultimately, Connor is a dark wizard, while the Church of Storms is a church organization that uses an extremely strong policy against dark wizards to prove its legitimacy. There is an irreconcilable contradiction between the two. Connor is only now being pressured by the Church of Storms and using the Church of Storms for mutual benefit because of their common enemy, Reyes.

After this incident, if Connor manages to escape unscathed, he will likely face the Storm Church in battle. Therefore, from any perspective, it is impossible for Connor to go to great lengths for Dezerby and take on the huge trouble of the Bloodstained Evil Spider.

Even so, if Connor's attack was weak, it wouldn't be able to harm the Blood-Striped Evil Spider and thus wouldn't help Dezerby. The power of the Hades Spear Connor just now was just right; it could both block the Blood-Striped Evil Spider from harming Dezerby and prevent the troublesome Blood-Striped Evil Spider from being lured to his side.

Seeing that De Zelby was temporarily out of danger, Connor turned his attention to the bigger picture. Although he and the Church of Storms were at odds, at least for now, he, De Zelby, and the other Church of Storms arbitrators were all in the same boat under the threat of these evil spiders. If this boat sank, while the Church of Storms wizards would certainly be doomed, Connor Ferguson wouldn't fare any better...

"what!"

Just as Connor began to observe the overall situation, the fierce battle between the Arbitrators and the Evil Spiders took an unexpected turn. An Arbitrator with a full beard and intermediate wizard apprenticeship, after blinding one Evil Spider with a wind blade spell, was suddenly attacked by another Evil Spider, who bit his head, causing him to let out a painful howl.

Before his pitiful wail had even faded, the evil spiders, which loved to suck the brains of wizards, quickly gnawed off half of his head. He immediately stopped breathing and collapsed to the ground, his body being devoured by the other evil spiders.

Seeing this situation, Connor, who was observing the overall situation, became secretly anxious. He knew very well that it was fortunate that his group of wizard apprentices were the Storm Church's experienced, strong-willed, and heavily armed Arbitrators. Otherwise, if it were a different group of people, they probably would have already given up against this group of evil spiders that outnumbered them three or four times over.

However, even the church's arbitrators, having to deal with two or three evil spider spirits each, have already reached their limit. The death of this bearded arbitrator could very well be the last straw that breaks the camel's back!

Just as Connor had predicted, with the death of the bearded arbitrator, the evil spiders he was originally responsible for attacking immediately turned on the other arbitrators. This directly led to the other two arbitrators being put in a very dangerous situation. Seeing this, Connor did not hesitate and immediately joined the battle, restraining four evil spiders and relieving the pressure on the other church arbitrators.
