At the beginning, he and Dengzhan launched a surprise attack on Zhu together. He attacked Zhu from behind with his magic armor. This attack should be effective, otherwise the other party would have no reason to endure his interrogation.

This attack should have successfully abolished the spider's normal fighting ability. The forbidden magic made him unable to use magic power, and he had to access the beast's organs to regain his strength.

Delphinium began to think from another perspective. If she were the spider, what would she do when it was clear that she could only turn the tide of the battle by transforming into a crippled beast?

There is no doubt that he must make a series of arrangements for the next battle in which he will transform into a crippled beast while he still has his sanity as a human being.

I think it was for this reason that Spider was willing to endure Delphinium's interrogation and keep delaying time.

So what could he do under Delphinium's nose?

The answer to this question has already been found, and that is the white spider beast that completely obeys his command.

A turning point in the spider's counterattack was when he let the white spider attack from the air, attracting the attention of the lilac and buying him time to transform. Before that, he should have directed the spider to do something in the air.

Over the sky?

When this word appeared in his mind, Delphinium suddenly felt a flash of inspiration through his mind.

Because she suddenly remembered what the spider had been doing before the fight began.

——He is looking at the sky.

What was he looking at, and what did he see that made him feel the time was right?

These two questions seemed to have grasped the clue of the problem for Delphinium. She looked up in the chaos and saw only spider webs.

In addition, there is a lamp that has approached Maowei and others and is trying to use magic to separate Maowei from the bloody spider web.

She seemed to be really close to success.

The spider silk that bound Maowei and others was a product of rules and could not be easily removed, but the flesh and blood spider web in the air was obviously not.

Dengzhan only needs to cut off the part of the flesh and blood spider web that sticks the investigation team to each other to take them down from the air and prevent them from continuing to be drained of magic power.

But this behavior was apparently noticed by more than just the delphinium.

As the owner of the spider web, Canshou obviously knew the situation of his own spider web better than Delphinium. When Dengzhan touched the side of the investigation team and was about to start the rescue, even if it had lost most of its intelligence, it knew what it meant.

This means that the prey it has almost killed will be stolen.

In his own nest, as the master of this space, the remnant beast would not allow such behavior.

So after only a brief pause, it abandoned the seemingly hard-headed Delphinium in front of it. It hissed angrily, the spider silk contracted, and pulled its body into the sky, trying to stop the lantern's behavior.

Delphinium subconsciously wanted to fly up, but after the magic power burst out, she found that her feet were also stuck to the ground by a ball of spider silk.

She couldn't chase.

The lamp next to the spider web was also attracted by the roar of the crippled beast. When it found that the crippled beast had become its target, it began to condense its magic spell and prepared to fight the crippled beast.

But this is absolutely not possible, and Delphinium is well aware of this.

Dengzhan in the air is probably no match for this crippled beast. Her injuries have not healed yet, and her grasp of the strange land is not good enough. If I just watch her fight with the crippled beast here, the possibility of Dengzhan winning will definitely not be more than 20%.

What should I do? What can I do to attract the attention of the remaining beast?

His brain was thinking rapidly, but he still couldn't think of any solution. Seeing the crippled beast getting closer and closer to the spider web in the air, Delphinium widened his eyes and finally made a decision.

She has to give it a try.

As to what the rules of the crippled beasts were and what the spider did before its transformation, she already had an answer in her mind, but she wasn't sure if the answer was correct.

But if she wanted to handle this battle as perfectly as possible, she needed to take a gamble.

"Lamp!"

So Delphinium raised her voice and shouted to the lantern in the sky: "Don't worry about the remnant beast, attack the spider web above my head with all your strength! With all your strength!"

"Eh?"

The lantern, whose technique was about to slip out of his hand, looked slightly startled.

She didn't know why Kuznetsus gave such instructions, because this action seemed to have nothing to do with the battle in front of them.

If Delphinium asked her to ignore the remaining beasts and prioritize rescuing the investigation team, or to protect the investigation team and fight against the remaining beasts, then she could understand these orders, but attacking a spider web that had nothing to do with it was still beyond her understanding.

While she was stunned, the Delphinium on the ground had opened its hands, and the masterpiece that had originally gathered around her returned to its original form of magic armor, transformed into countless silk threads, and climbed up along the outer wall of the nest.

These magic threads instantly intertwined into another network in the air, stopping the remaining beast that was originally rushing into the air and blocking it in mid-air.

However, this barrier cannot last long.

The beast they were dealing with was a half-molted one, which was completely different from the small fish and shrimps at the egg and worm stages. The magic thread was not strong enough to restrain the beast at this stage. Therefore, the net woven by the Delphinium only lasted for a few seconds before it was torn into several cracks by the impact of the beast.

Delphinium could only keep controlling the silk threads to fill the gaps and stop the actions of the remaining beasts.

This behavior bought time for the lantern in the sky, and finally made her realize that Delphinium was not talking nonsense, and it seemed that Delphinium really had some thoughts that she didn't know about.

So Dengzhan gathered his concentration and immediately changed the spell in his hand, aiming the spike spear at the flesh and blood network not far away. That network corresponded to the area above the head of the Delphinium.

She carefully controlled her magic power, pouring most of her strength into this attack, and a moment later, the spell burst out from her hands.

Hundreds of magic spikes flashed through the air and bombarded the spider web like rain. After a brief stalemate between the dark brown magic and the flesh and blood spider web, the torrent of magic penetrated the spider web and completely destroyed that part of the structure.

The smoke screen of magic, the shattered flesh and blood, the unknown liquid overflowing from the fracture, and the pierced spider web that instantly created a huge hole.

What surprised Dengzhan was that when the spider web was blown apart, the remaining beast in the air also let out miserable wails.

"squeak--"

Its voice became extremely sharp and high-pitched, as if it was enduring some great pain.

Then, Dengzhan saw a surging torrent of azure magic power erupting from the ground.

A few seconds after the spider web was shattered, the delphinium had already jumped from the ground into the air.

She used her magic to the fullest, her whole body was gleaming with blue light, and her eyes were filled with an extremely cold killing intent. She stretched out a hand, which seemed to be holding something extremely small, and rushed towards the crippled beast quickly.

The spider silk that was originally wrapped around her had disappeared at some point.

It turns out that Delphinium's answer is correct, because the rule of spiders is probably just like its name and its performance, which is spider webs.

When he was ambushed by Delphinium in his human form and thus controlled by forbidden magic, he chose to stall for time in order to allow the white spider to weave such a web in the air.

After becoming a crippled beast, its rules are actually very simple - as long as it is covered by a spider web, it will be entangled by the spider silk.

It is not a direct contact, but an envelopment - this means that as long as someone on the ground steps on the corresponding area of ​​the spider web in the air, that person will also be entangled by the spider web.

This was deduced by Delphinium from the strange steps of the crippled beast itself.

It kept giving Delphinium and the other two opportunities to lure them under the spider web to fight it, but it always stayed at the edge of the area covered by the spider web and never stepped in.

It is also because of this that it is useless for Delphinium to attack the spider silk wrapped around its body: after all, these spider silks are essentially just the product of rules. They are just projections of the spider web above its head. How can it possibly hurt the main body by attacking the projection?

As for why the remaining beast showed such pain when the web was pierced, Delphinium had no idea.

She doesn't need to know either.

Because at this moment she had already soared into the air, the surging torrent of magic power was like the materialization of murderous intent, representing Delphinium's current mood.

There was no need for her to understand so clearly the thoughts of a monster, a dying man.

There was a metallic luster in the hands of the Jade Bird. In a blue light, it flashed from under the crippled beast and appeared above it. Then, a torrent of magic power gushed out wildly from the crippled beast's body and the magic network.

In mid-air, the spider web that had already been torn into pieces became shaky, and the originally bright red flesh and blood spider silk began to turn black and gray. The spider silk lost the source of its supporting power and began to shrink rapidly.

Purple-black blood dripped from the sky, and the nest, which was pitch black except for the magic light, began to shake inexplicably.

"--squeak!"

Then, accompanied by the miserable wails of the remaining beast, the body of the remaining beast that was blocked by the blue silk thread in the air broke apart in an instant.

boom!

It fell toward the ground amid the exploding blood and uncontrolled magic power, and eventually exploded into countless pieces.

Chapter 124 Farewell Performance

2023-04-30

"Spider" died so suddenly that no one was able to react.

Previously, in order to thoroughly investigate the disappearance of the Cattail Team, the Investigation Agency not only sent Inspector Delphinium to the scene, but also dispatched two additional investigation teams.

The two new investigation teams set out from the Magic Kingdom, and because of the urgency of the mission, they traveled day and night. Although these magical girls had done their best to rush to Baian City as quickly as possible, they did not expect that the inspector, Delphinium, would act so quickly.

The people had just arrived in Bai'an City the day before, and they found the location of the enemy's lair the next morning. That night, they eliminated both the people and the lair, and also rescued the target of this mission - the Cat Tail Squad.

This made these magical girls both admire and feel disappointed: they admired her because what she did was very neat and handsome, and she found out the truth and solved the enemy as quickly as possible, which was always what the magical girls of the Investigation Institute pursued; they felt disappointed because the problem was solved before they even arrived, which was almost like a wasted trip.

This loss combined with hatred for the enemy eventually turned into vengeance.

These magical girls who later joined the Investigation Institute launched a carpet-style devastating attack on the Black Dawn forces that remained in Baian City.

With the death of the spider, the Black Dawn of Baian City became a pile of scattered sand without a leader. Without the only leader, and without enough power to fight against the magical girls, it was naturally defeated at the first touch.

At first, some of the evil believers who had mastered the ability to transform resisted stubbornly, trying to escape with the power of the remaining beasts, but they were eventually killed in the face of the encirclement of the magical girls. After learning of the death of Zhu and others, the remaining members honestly chose to surrender - facing a group of angry magical girls, they had no means of counterattack.

This conspiracy that had been planned in Baian City for several years was finally uncovered, and it also caused a shock to the entire magic side of Baian City.

Ordinary magicians had no way of knowing what the people of Black Dawn had done, but they knew that an extremely dangerous beast had secretly slaughtered so many lives. The reason why the incident spread so widely was because too many people were implicated.

According to incomplete statistics from the Strategy Bureau, as many as 400 civilians died directly or indirectly in their lair due to the planning of Zhu and others.

This has become the most serious large-scale beast attack in Bai'an City in the past decade. Even though this incident actually happened quietly and imperceptibly, its impact is far worse than any overt beast attack.

The reason why no one noticed anything unusual was that these cases were all hidden in the daily attacks of large and small beasts. A large number of people who were attacked at the scene and fled in panic would be bewitched by the spider's ability and unconsciously escape into the trap he prepared, thus becoming the missing "victims".

No one knew that these people could have avoided death. Even when the Strategy Bureau marked them as "murdered", they were still struggling to death in the lair of the brutal beasts.

An incident involving so many people and on such a large scale naturally made everyone in the magic side of Baian City feel insecure. For a time, most capable magicians chose to move to other places, simply because the incidents that took place here were too horrifying.

With the defeat of the spiders and the collapse of their nests, very few survivors managed to escape.

Among these survivors, there are magical girls who were directly rescued by Delphinium, employees of the Strange Policy Bureau who strayed into this place, and a few civilians. The civilians will be comforted and compensated accordingly, and the surviving employees who encountered this incident will receive a long paid vacation and complete psychological treatment after completing the relevant evidence collection work.

As for the magical girls of the investigation team headed by Maowei, they are not under the jurisdiction of the Strategy Bureau.

They will be sent back to the country, which will begin attempts to treat and rehabilitate them.

And because they were trapped in the nest for too long and their magic power was severely depleted, their true appearance was damaged... It is questionable whether these magical girls can return to the front line and participate in the battle.

However, before being taken back to the magical kingdom by the investigation institute personnel who arrived later, Cattail, who had been in a coma, woke up briefly once.
