Half a month later......

Burning caverns.

Grim's 100-meter-tall majestic body stood atop a small volcano, silently surveying the black and red world of black smoke and flames around him.

As the former king of this place, the Ember Web Spider Mother Laxbeth, who had ruled the Burning Cavern for nearly two millennia, was scorching and prostrate at the feet of Grim, her bulging belly still shining with the golden runes left by the Immortal Flame.

Lakbeth is miserable right now!

Three days ago, the mysterious flame giant suddenly appeared in her territory, demanding her submission and loyalty.

The fire creatures are all brutal and cruel, and they are willing to give up the freedom of their souls!

Thus, an earth-shattering war broke out.

What Lakbeth didn't expect was that this Flame Giant turned out to be a terrifying powerhouse with a level of up to 5th. In his fury, he destroyed the burning cavern that Lakbeth had worked so hard to build for thousands of years, and he also swept away the countless traps and ember-webbed spider offspring in the cavern.

The battle between the two men lasted two hundred miles from the Burning Cavern to the Singa Volcano before ending in the defeat of the Spider Mother Lakbeth.

Rakbeth is a 5-meter-tall fire-based ashweb spider with six pairs of sharp knuckles and a pair of giant crusts. As the mother of the Ember Web Spider, Lakbeth is best at laying fire web traps and breeding large numbers of Fire Spiders.

She planted a large number of cobweb traps near her lair to hunt the wandering fire creatures, and then lived by sucking on the magma and flames from the elemental wreckage, and grew stronger little by little.

Her ontological combat power may not be too strong, but she has the most difficult fire net and an incredible number of offspring. It was with these two points that she was able to stand out from the crowd of flame creatures and become the only Rank 4 Flame Lord within a radius of thousands of miles.

It's just that she, the Flame Lord, is a bit unworthy of her name, and her subordinates have no fire creatures of other races to follow except for the offspring she has bred. As for the reason, just look at her round, never-ending belly to see why.

Faced with such a sinister and cunning mother who likes to hide in the shadows and sneak attack the enemy, Grim naturally has a lot of means to deal with her.

One of the main reasons why Laxbeth is so difficult is that her lair is built underground, and the cave passages are extremely narrow and winding. When she encounters those fire creatures that are too powerful, she hides underground. When she encounters a weaker one, she will make a big move, using the self-detonating fire spider, ember web spider, web weaver spider and other small guys to lure him into the fire web trap.

Dealing with this kind of sinister and despicable guy who bullies the weak and fears the hard, Grim is more insidious than her!

The first thing Grim did when he arrived was to block the entrance to Laxbeth's lair, and then unleashed the Burning Flame, blowing the unquenchable flames through every corner of the underground lair.

Smoldering spiders!

Although the Ember Web Spider is a fire-based creature, it can survive even in thousands of degrees of magma. However, in the face of the regular flame of the Immortal Flame, the fire resistance they possessed was instantly cleared, and they could only scream and wail to death in the golden sea of fire.

Not to mention these little guys, even the fourth-order spider mother Lakbeth was forced out of the underground lair alive, and could only drag the charred black body full of golden flames to fight Grim.

It's embarrassing, although Grim is a 5th order, his strength, physique, and agility are far inferior to this 4th order spider mother. However, the powerful fire leap allowed him to dodge the swift bites, boiling splashes, and smoldering destruction of Lakbeth in time.

Swift Strike: Rakbeth increases his action speed by 300% when he is in the area covered by the fire net, and has a chance to paralyze enemies when his attacks hit his opponent.

Boiling Splash: Sprays 20 meters of searing venom in a cone 60 degrees in front of you, dealing 3000 degrees of fire damage and 2000 degrees of venom damage to enemies in it.

Smoldering Destruction: Spit a 5x5 meter net of fire soaked in venom at the enemy, and the enemy bound by the net will lose the ability to move and take massive damage from the fire energy ignited by the venom.

I have to say that the guys who can stand out from the many tyrannical flame lords and become the best among them are all equipped with special skills and some terrifying skills that are difficult for outsiders to match!

Even if Grim's rank crushes the opponent, and he still has a dual artifact protector and two flame rules to hurt the enemy, he still has to be cautious in the face of the strange smoldering destruction of the Ember Web Spider Mother.

It is impossible to be defeated by the other party, but if you are not careful, you will be entangled in its fire net and bite it twice, which is a very humiliating thing!

Therefore, Lakbeth was able to force Grim back again and again by constantly spitting fire nets.

It wasn't until it reached this place, draining all the venom and fire net slime in the belly sac, that it was blown up by a fireball from Grim, and then imprinted its body with flames.

"Surrender or destruction?" Grim shouted in a humming voice.

"I'd rather die than surrender......" As soon as Lakbeth screamed, the flame rune on her belly suddenly transformed into a scorching golden flame, instantly burning all over her body.

This golden flame is the unquenchable flame after embodying, and it has the ability to ignore magic resistance and burn souls. Therefore, even with the fire resistance of the 4th Order Flame Lord of Lakbeth, he will die in pain, and his whole body will be charred and blackened.

Fortunately, Grim had no intention of killing her, so the Flame of Immortality only burned five fingers before degenerating into a fire rune again. Grim pulled out a bottle of healing potion from his bosom and poured it on Lakbeth's charred body.

With the powerful regenerative abilities of Tier 4 creatures and the aid of healing potions, it only took half an hour for Laxbeth to return to normal.

There was a muffled bang.

Grim raised his foot and stepped on the Ember Web Mother who was about to tear the surface of the earth and flee back underground, and asked again, "Surrender or destruction?"

"You ...... in vain" This time, before Lakbeth could finish his sentence, his entire body was once again overturned by the golden flames that rose into the sky.

The sizzling sound of burning flesh resounded in the room, and a pungent smell of burnt flesh diffused from the room.

Moments later, the flames receded, and Laxbeth was once again rescued by Grim.

"Hey, hey, little spider, you have a hard mouth. Anyway, I have a lot of healing potions here, even if I torture you for a hundred years, it won't be a problem. Tell me, what's the choice this time?" Grim sneered, and the flatness of his words made the spider mother cold to the bone.

"I ......"

As soon as Lakbeth uttered a word, golden flames swept through her body in an instant, and her piercing howls and screams rang out in the arena again.

After a few moments, the flames subsided.

Grim frowned, scratched his head, and said with an 'apologetic' face: "I'm sorry, the flames are too early." What did you just say?"

Prostrate on the hard rock, Lakbeth, who was already dying, angrily waved his feet and clawed pincers, cutting the volcanic rock beneath him into the rubble, scratching and scratching.

"Why? Why did you come to me? There are so many Flame Lords here, why are you looking for me alone?"

"So you're the smartest!" Grim complimented with a smile.

That's what he really said.

Those stupid big guys, although their strength is also very good, and their rank is not low, but they all have a fiery temper, and they don't know how to be flexible at all. They are all stubborn cows that run all the way to the black, and it is useless to threaten them with death.

In contrast, only these guys with otherworldly bloodlines and smart brains know fear and the preciousness of life.

Smart people are afraid of death!

This is an iron law summed up by wizards, and Grim thinks so!

"What if I don't give in?" Even though the injury was so severe, Lakbeth only slowed down, and his whole body was in a state of rapid recovery, and even his speech became powerful again.

"Then I'll play with you a little longer until my patience runs out. Grim explained honestly: "At that time, screw off your head as a trophy, break off your spider legs to make daggers, pull off your claws as scissors, and take out your silk sacs and venom glands to make magic weapons......"

"Well, let me think about it, what else is valuable about you...... By the way, you can also extract souls...... Hey, little spider, do you have any spider crystals in your body? I heard that's a good thing too......

Hearing that Grim was there like a treasure, the body of the Ember Web Spider Mother Rakbeth Spider couldn't help but start to tremble. As a high-level intelligent being, she is not like those big men who are stupid by nature and have a tyrannical temperament.

She knew very well that if a high-level elemental creature like herself fell into the hands of a human wizard, death was not the final destination, but the beginning of infinitely terrifying torture!

Thinking of his miserable and miserable life of slavery for thousands of years to come, Laxbeth could not help but feel sorrow, and fell on his stomach and wailed.

It's just that as a strange-shaped spider-like flame creature, she is crying pear blossoms with rain in the eyes of humans, and she looks hideous and ugly.

"Hey, little spider, have you decided?If you don't surrender, I'll beat your spider legs first!" Grim crushed his big feet impatiently, and immediately squeaked the spider mother in pain.

"Surrender...... I surrender!" Fearing the wicked, Lakbeth, the Ember Web Spider Mother who had been rampant in this area for two thousand years, finally lowered her tsundere head and bowed to Grim.

The rest of the work is simple.

Laxbeth let go of his soul consciousness, and Grim imprinted his soul mark inside.

In this way, the 4th Rank Flame Lord, the Ember Web Spider Mother, became the first native creature that Grim subjugated after entering the fire elemental plane.
