hum-

In an instant, the fountain's jet of water shot skyward, and at the center of the jet, a spiral hole with a dark blue outer ring and a crimson inner ring attracted the attention of everyone present.

"What did you do?" someone asked in shock.

The prophet laughed again: "It's nothing, just throwing the Enka Stone into the Ruins. Although there are still many Enka Stones hidden in this world, you won't be able to seal this entrance again in a short time. As a result, this world is destined to be swallowed by the Ruins."

"Are you crazy?"

"You want to kill everyone!"

"you you you!"

In the square, the crowd was indignant. The prophet's actions had thoroughly enraged those who already disliked him and were skeptical of him.

Even those who believed in him wavered.

"Will it really be possible... to be resurrected then?"

The prophet did not answer.

This attitude shook even those who believed in him.

"Answer it! Answer it! Are you going to gamble everyone's lives on a single possibility?"

First, consider this: "Why not gamble? If I win, humanity wins the future; if I lose, it's not a big deal. This world is destined to end anyway. Is there a big difference between ending it later and ending it now?"

"Nonsense, nonsense, this is all nonsense!"

"If this world wasn't born from the goddess's dream at all, and you were deceived, then what you've done has harmed everyone!"

"What, you're going to kill me? Aren't you afraid that the gamble that has already begun will be ruined, leaving you with only one path to take in the end?"

Just then, Vita suddenly stepped forward: "I don't think killing you means the game is over. We've come this far, and the Weaver certainly won't give up easily. If someone is willing to take your place, He will definitely agree gladly."

"!"

These words swept through everyone's hearts like a hurricane.

Those who already disbelieved became even more determined to kill the prophet, this madman.

Those who believed in the prophet saw this as an opportunity, a chance to replace the prophet and become the "god" of the new era.

"Kill this madman!"

No one knows who shouted the first sentence, but the next second, an arrow shot out from the crowd and headed straight for the prophet.

The original peace was completely shattered, and others followed suit.

However, the prophet remained calm. He raised his right hand high, and in that instant, the earth trembled uncontrollably.

The giant spider that had been treated like a statue in the capital city suddenly came to life, trembling.

"I'm willing to give my life so that this gamble can proceed smoothly!"

Isolated Island Nation: Taking a Day Off

I've been busy with other things these past few days, which has resulted in only around 3500 words being updated each day. Today, I even had to send it out, so I can only take a day off.

The good news is that we'll be able to relax for a while starting tomorrow afternoon.

Isolated Island Nation: 39. Spider Game

Rumble!

As the giant spider trembled, the ground in front of the church square cracked open at an extremely fast speed.

An unlucky guy who happened to be standing on the crack fell into the ground with a thud because he was distracted.

Fortunately, he was a B-rank adventurer known for his strength, and despite falling into a pit more than ten meters deep without any protection, he was unharmed in the end.

But even such a scene is astonishing enough.

The giant spider that roams the city can cause such destruction with just a few flicks of its legs. If it were to launch a full-scale attack, what kind of terrifying apocalyptic scene would it create?

Overwhelmed by fear, everyone present stopped paying attention to the enormous vortex that was capable of swallowing everything.

"How did they do that?"

Loria was dumbfounded.

She was certain that not long ago, the spider was just a lifelike statue, but now it had come to life.

In this magical world, giving life to stones is not entirely impossible.

But according to legend, the objects of those magicians' enlightenment are usually small stones, and the creatures they enlighten are small creatures such as palm-sized nature spirits.

How terrifying must the magical power required to bring life to a stone sculpture that is hundreds of meters tall when it lies on the ground?

Loria couldn't imagine it.

Given the mystique displayed by the prophet, it is not entirely impossible for him to control so much magic.

But even if he could control so much magic at the same time, surely there would be some noise, right?

Vita shook her head at Loria.

She didn't know, or rather, none of the members of the Hidden Head would have imagined that their leader harbored so many secrets.

In short, now is not the time to dwell on this kind of thing.

After waving its massive limbs several times, the giant spider finally stood up from the ground.

It was enormous, and when it stood up, it blotted out the sky. Each of its legs was like a pillar supporting the heavens, creating a moving island of death.

That's right, that's Death Island.

The spider opened its mouth and gently spat out a thick white liquid, engulfing the soldiers who were frozen in fear outside the capital, preventing them from uttering a single scream.

Some of those soldiers belonged to the Empire, while others belonged to the Hidden Leader.

But the spider doesn't care about any of that.

It seemed to be in a state of inexplicable frenzy, its body constantly swaying, slaughtering any living thing it could see in its field of vision using all sorts of methods.

A spider that stands hundreds of meters tall and moves at incredible speed is nothing short of a highly efficient killing machine.

Once someone is targeted by it, there is no way out but death.

Fight back?

Under the suppression of the crimson isolating island, large-scale magic cannot be cast at all.

Those less powerful spells were like tickling the spider; they couldn't even slow it down.

"Watch out! Get out of the way, or it will step on you!"

"Ahhh, my legs..."

Screams echoed throughout the room.

Loria immediately ran to meet up with the president and the others.

Faced with this monster whose even a single hair on its appendages was taller than her, she simply couldn't muster the will to fight.

Admittedly, she had very high stamina and her body was very resilient, but she didn't think she could withstand a single stomp from the monster.

Voila.

Hundreds of meters away from her, an adventurer who was slightly injured was accidentally knocked away by a swaying spider leg. Before he could get up, the leg stomped heavily on him.

After the scream, the spider legs moved aside, and all that came into Loria's view was a lump of red flesh.

Keep in mind that the adventurer's strength was as high as 476 points, which was very close to A-rank.

“There’s still some time before the apocalypse. Let’s leave here first and figure out a solution later,” Loria said urgently.

The president and the others had no objections.

The situation is in complete chaos, and even Charles can't control it. Staying to fight will only increase casualties.

Everyone unanimously decided to temporarily avoid confrontation.

They took off running.

No matter what, they were all B-rank adventurers. Even though the earth kept shaking, the ground kept collapsing, and boulders often flew through the sky, nothing could stop them from moving forward.

But after running for more than a mile, Loria suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Vita asked, startled.

Loria said urgently, "Doris didn't follow."

Everyone turned around and saw Doris still standing there, staring blankly upwards.

boom!

The next second, a huge spider leg swept past right in front of their field of vision.

The deafening roar sent up a cloud of gray smoke that took more than ten seconds to dissipate, finally allowing people to see what was in front of them.

A deep trench, tens of meters deep and nearly twenty meters wide, appeared in the ground, and on the other side of the trench, Doris still stood steadily.

Loria breathed a sigh of relief.

Her heart was in her throat just now, fearing that Doris would be involved.

Even a tin-skinned loli who grew up eating metal ores couldn't withstand this level of impact, right?

This isn't steel forging; one thrust and it'll be destroyed.

"I...I'll go back to save her. You all wait for me here."

After hesitating for a while, Loria decided to bring Dolly back.

It's impossible not to be afraid, but she couldn't bear to just abandon Doris like that.

"It's not that I'm lusting after her, it's just that I've invested so much money in her, it would be such a waste to just throw her away like this, right? I'm Loria the stingy one, I can't lose my image!"

Loria rushed towards Doris without waiting for the president and the others to answer.

She was lucky; during her sprint, the spider swung its leg again, but its target was another adventurer not far away.
