Until the fourth dragon breath, the high priest, with nowhere to hide, had to stop his incantation and raise his staff to cast a spell to block Huo Huan's dragon breath.

After all, no one with a sound mind would use their physical body to receive a mixture of dragon breath that is obviously highly corrosive.

Although he didn't manage to inflict much damage on the high priest, Huo had already achieved his goal.

The pause in the high priest's incantation was enough for Arya to set up protective spells to prevent everyone from falling back into the state of being disturbed.

However, defeating the high priest remains a challenge, especially given the surrounding spiderwebs.

Even though Ho had managed to corrode a small portion with his dragon breath, large areas of spider webs still surrounded him. This was fine for the two spellcasters, Polina and Aria, but Harrison was in considerable discomfort.

As a knight, the lack of a suitable field for charging undoubtedly greatly limited Harrison's performance.

However, this did not stump Harrison. Harrison and the Nightmare he rode began to emit black smoke, and then the man and the horse became semi-transparent.

Harrison used his abilities to move directly through the dimensional rift, bypassing the spider silk that blocked his way.

Harrison ignored the spider silk and charged forward quickly, soon getting close to the high priest who was guarded by a large number of spiders.

The high priest was no longer as composed as before; he stared at the group with a face full of resentment.

Despite employing various methods, they have still failed to eliminate several people, and the High Priest is beginning to lose patience.

Extending its spider legs, the high priest once again blocked the combined attack of Huo Huan, Harrison, and the angel. Seeing the two spellcasters in the distance preparing to cast their spells, the high priest knew he couldn't delay any longer, or he might really die at the hands of Huo Huan and the others.

Thinking of this, the high priest took out a black pendant from his chest, gripped the pendant tightly in his left hand, and held up his staff in his right hand, assuming a strange posture.

The next second, a phantom with the upper body of a woman and the lower body of a spider appeared out of thin air.

The phantom was enormous, enveloping the entire manor and even exceeding the barrier created by Polina, yet Huo still couldn't make out the woman's face at all.

The moment the woman appeared, all the spiders went berserk and began attacking the group recklessly, regardless of their own lives.

Chapter 148 The Curtain Falls

"Laurethra, the Spider Queen?!" Huo had a bad feeling as soon as he said it.

Sure enough, in the next instant, a chill ran down his spine from the depths of his heart, as if he were being maliciously stared at. Huo also estimated that he was probably being targeted by the Spider Queen, Rose.

At the same time, a startling change also occurred at the High Priest's place.

The high priest's body began to disintegrate, transforming into a vast swarm of spiders. At the same time, the number of spiders in the manor surged, surging towards the crowd like a tsunami.

Faced with this scene that resembled a natural disaster, everyone felt a sense of insecurity.

Huo Huan stomped his foot, and several stone walls rose from the ground, surrounding Huo Huan and Harrison, who was not far away. As for Polina and Aria, who were further away, Huo Huan had no time to care about them.

But to Huo's surprise, the stone wall had only been raised for a short time when a hissing sound of corrosion immediately rang out.

The thick stone walls did not hold back the spider swarm for long. A few seconds later, several earthen walls were breached, and a large number of spiders swarmed in.

At this point, Huo could no longer care about his teammates and directly activated his Death Aura.

An invisible energy fluctuation emanated from Huo Huan's body, and the spiders around him immediately stiffened, with strange wounds appearing on their bodies.

Compared to the more resilient Shadow Wolves, these spiders seemed far more pathetic.

The Shadow Wolves could at least last for more than ten minutes, while these spiders only lasted for a dozen seconds before collapsing and dying.

However, this was far from enough to quell the massive spider swarm. Before the spiders that were close to Huo Huan were even completely dead, even more spiders surged over like a tide.

In the blink of an eye, Huo Huan was overwhelmed by a dense swarm of spiders. Endless fangs pierced through Huo Huan's defenses, and all sorts of venomous liquids were injected into his body.

For a moment, everyone was in danger. Fortunately, there was some good news. At least Harrison, who was not far from Huo, was physically strong enough and was not affected by Huo's death aura. As for Polina and Aria, they were too far away to be affected.

This can't go on. Huo Huan's superior physique allowed him to withstand the spider's venom without being greatly affected, and the continuous life force within his body was constantly repairing his damaged body.

Huo also manipulated the energy within his body, causing it to surge violently.

The next second, the surging energy exploded from Huo Huan's body, directly scattering all the spiders that were enveloping him.

Huo flapped his dragon wings, flames erupted from his body, and he charged straight out of the Spider Sea.

Looking up, Polina, Aria, and Matthew were huddled in a small circle inside an energy shield, struggling to defend against the spider swarm's attack. Harrison, who had been not far from Ho, had already disappeared.

"This is bad." Feeling his energy dwindling and watching the swarm of spiders, Huo Huan's eyes hardened.

Now is not the time to consider your teammates.

Huo measured the size of the manor from mid-air and quickly located the center of the entire manor.

The next moment, Huo folded his wings and transformed all the remaining energy in his body into flames that enveloped him, which he then slammed straight down towards the center.

A loud "boom" resounded, instantly clearing away the surrounding spiders.

Before he could check the results, Huo Huan crossed his arms over his chest, closed his eyes, and looked solemn. A black dot the size of a sesame seed appeared on Huo Huan's chest.

This is precisely the trump card that Huo Huanxin has just obtained—dimensional collapse!

The tiny black dot, the size of a sesame seed, swelled in the wind, growing to the size of a fist in the blink of an eye, while a terrifying suction force emanated from the black sphere.

The surrounding spiders could not resist the suction of the black sphere and were all sucked into it.

As the spiders around Huo were swallowed by the black sphere, the sphere expanded further, and its suction became even stronger. Not only the spiders, but also the surrounding buildings, rubble, and plants were swallowed by the black sphere.

The massive swarm of spiders was like encountering an endless black hole; no matter how many were sucked in, this bottomless pit could never be filled.

As time went on, the black hole grew larger and larger, and the seemingly endless spider tide finally decreased visibly. But at the same time, bad news emerged.

That is, Huo has also lost control of the black hole in front of him.

Perhaps it was because it was Huo Huan's first time using it, or perhaps it was because it had absorbed too much matter; whatever the reason, it was a fact that Huo Huan had lost control of it.

Currently, the black hole is constantly devouring all surrounding matter, and even Huo Huan himself is about to be swallowed up.

In other words, Huo Huan was strong enough to withstand the suction of the black hole; otherwise, he would probably have ended up like the spiders around him.

As time passed, perhaps due to the loss of energy provided by Huo, the black hole gradually dissipated.

At this point, the entire manor no longer existed, leaving only a large crater that looked like it had been struck by a meteorite.

The good news is that Huo and Polina are still alive, and although they look disheveled, they are safe and sound.

The bad news is that the high priest is still alive.

The dimensional collapse ultimately failed to devour all the spiders; some of them survived.

The surviving spiders regrouped and took the form of the high priest.

At this moment, Harrison, who had entered the dimensional rift to avoid the spider swarm, also appeared.

Everything seemed to have returned to square one, except that everyone was in poor condition. Huo and the others had exhausted a lot of their energy in order to resist the spider swarm, and Harrison had also paid a heavy price for entering the dimensional rift one after another.

The situation for the high priest on the other side was equally dire; he had few cards left to play, and his internal energy was nearing its lowest point.

But having come this far, no one had any reason to back down.

Huo also drank a bottle of energy-restoring potion and launched the first attack.

Harrison, not to be outdone, followed closely behind on Nightmare.

Arya summoned the vengeful angel again, and Polina used her mirror spell. Matthew disappeared into the darkness.

Several tens of minutes later, the battle finally came to an end.

The story ends with the high priest's defeat and death, but Huo and his companions also fared quite poorly.

Harrison's black armor was shattered, and Nightmare was severely injured and had been resummoned.

Matthew successfully launched a sneak attack but was nearly cleaved in two by the High Priest's spider leg attack. He is currently being kept alive by Arya's magic.

Huo was not to be outdone; he drank bottle after bottle of energy recovery potions until his life energy plummeted to rock bottom.

As for Polina, she has exhausted her magic power and fallen into a coma. It is estimated that she will be unable to use magic for some time.

The only one who is somewhat unharmed is Arya, who is the healer, but she is currently overwhelmed with treating Harrison and Matthew's injuries.

The High Priest's spider half-body attack carries an extremely potent toxin that is not only difficult to neutralize but also inhibits wound healing.

This is why Huo Huan's enormous vitality would eventually run out. Every time the High Priest inflicted a wound, Huo Huan had to have the flesh cut away from the wound, which greatly increased Huo Huan's energy expenditure.

Fortunately, the battle is finally over.

Chapter 149 Containment Legend

The battle didn't last long; it lasted only about an hour from the moment Huo and his companions teleported into the main city of Zhuoer.

However, the energy, stamina, and physical strength consumed in this one hour were greater than what Huo consumed when he cleared several dungeons in a row.

The Drow High Priest is really too difficult to deal with. Not only does he know all kinds of divine magic, but he also carries a variety of items. In addition, the spider on his lower body is also quite powerful.

Each spider leg was incredibly sharp, comparable to a top-grade sword. However, this spider also possessed master-level swordsmanship. With its eight legs swung, Huo felt as if he were facing an eight-sword master, and he couldn't gain any advantage in close combat.

Unfortunately, the spider's legs were also highly venomous, causing Harrison and Ho a great deal of suffering.

Matthew was also struck by the spider's legs during several sneak attacks and almost died, but fortunately, Arya saved his life.

Thieves are ultimately not good at head-on combat, especially against enemies with high health.

You might need dozens of attacks to take down your opponent, but one mistake could cost you your life.

Although everyone looked utterly miserable, they ultimately won the battle.

With the demise of the Drow Legend, it doesn't matter if other players fail to conquer the Drow capital this time.

Without the protection of a legend, it's only a matter of time before this main city is razed to the ground.

It seems the rumors of another legend existing in the main city are not true. Just as Huo was thinking this, he failed to notice that a drow elf wearing ordinary leather armor quietly left the city.

He was another legend in this city, a legendary thief.

However, because he was a male Drow, even though he achieved legendary status, his position was still not high.

Within the matriarchal Drow race, he was born a male Drow and was inherently inferior. Even after achieving legendary status, the female Drow simply kept their disdainful gazes hidden in the shadows, never showing them in front of him.

Coupled with the bullying he suffered in his childhood, this legendary thief had no attachment to the city where he had lived since childhood, and would not seek revenge for the high priest.

Because he knew that even if he did this, he would still be marginalized in the end and become a dispensable person, because this was a race controlled by the Spider Queen Lolth, where women were revered and being born a male drow was the biggest mistake.

Therefore, upon seeing the High Priest's defeat and the imminent fall of the main city, this legendary thief left without hesitation.

The shackles that bound him seemed to have finally shattered. As a legend, there was nowhere he couldn't live, let alone the profession of thief, which was known for its survival.

Huo and his companions were completely unaware of the legendary thief's departure, believing that the news of two legends in the city was false.
