Section IV

After passing through the ancient breach at the bottom of the fortress, the three of them were greeted by a huge rock cave. A howling cold wind swept down the rocky peaks, sharpening them all as sharp as knives.

"This place is at least 300 years old. Roy stroked the ornamentation on the stone path. "That's not the style of this era. I've seen something like this in a crypt somewhere. Extraordinary...... Old. ”

"The host there must have been very welcoming to entertain you. Hadava said with a slight disdain, "It's not a good thing to disturb the sleep of the dead in Skyrim. Almost all those who dare to do so are pulled by ghouls as companions. They must have left you with some [very memorable] memories as well. ”

Roy surprisingly didn't refute. He sighed softly, the scars of the diagonal cross on his face seemed to be drenched in sadness. "There were twelve of us at the time, and I was the worst one. But I survived...... Because my skills are too poor. So it was arranged at the top to watch the wind. ”

"You'll never wonder what it's like to be chased by thousands of ghouls. My leader was torn to shreds less than three steps behind me. If it weren't for their instinctive aversion to the sun, I wouldn't be here now. ”

"I just hope that I won't encounter these things in the future. ”

Alice and Hadava were speechless. In the end, it was the former who went up and kicked the dark elf. Let him return to the normal world.

"Let's go. Alice made a crisp sound. "When you get out, it's time to mourn them, and you don't want to be mourned so early. ”

"You're right. Roy put away his affection. Then Alice walked deeper into the cave. And Hadawa looked at the drawbridge. It seemed to want to cut it off, but after a moment of hesitation, he put away his sword and followed the two in front of him.

Shortly after they left, the entire crust above the canyon was rudely torn open, and scarlet dragon flames erupted down, burning all of the canyon into lava.

The giant dark red eyes scanned and searched for a living thing. But it ended up finding nothing. The angry dragon flapped its massive wings. Pour out its wrath around every corner.

Alice's footsteps suddenly stopped.

"Did you hear anything?" Roy asked hurriedly. At the same time, he looked in all directions, hoping to find something unusual.

"It'......... It seems to be gone. ”

"What?"

"Nothing, probably my delusion. Alice shook her head and continued walking. The wound on her shoulder was a little hot and itchy. It seems that it is about to be closed.

Soon after......

"Oh, damn it, this road doesn't work!" he looked at the pile of rubble in front of him. Hadava couldn't help but feel a pang of despair.

The fragments of the stone are still sharp, and the fractures are new. It looks like it has just collapsed.

"It's clear that the exit is right in front of you. Is it sealed again? Maybe we can try to dig it up. Roy examined the pile of stones, and knocked on the walls to gauge its texture.

"I'm afraid we'll starve to death before then. ”

"Yes. Roy sat down on the ground. The tone was very flat, "I should have died anyway, and it is already a blessing of the gods to live so long." ”

"Maybe we'll see each other again in Songard. Hadava also sat down. Set aside the torch in your hand.

"Isn't it forbidden for the Imperial Army to worship Talos?"

"Just because you can't worship doesn't mean you can't believe. I'm a true Nord. Hadava smiled, his eyes calm. He threw his fist at Roy. "It's an honor to fight alongside you, my comrade. ”

"Me too. ”

The two fists collided lightly in the air.

"What about our little girl, where are our warriors?" Hadava looked around, and finally found Alice in front of a dark stone wall.

"It's the last moment, why don't you celebrate?" he opened his arms to Alice.

I saw Alice raise the hammer and smash it at the stone wall!

'Collapse lala~~~~'

A swift wind blew debris everywhere. The cold air that followed was refreshing.

Alice tucked her broken hair in the cold wind. Puzzled, he looked at the two dumbfounded guys.

"What were you talking about?"

“………………………………”

Until they saw the sleeping bear. Neither of the two males in the team was too embarrassed to say a word.

"Now we have two options, one is to slip through and the other is to kill her. What do you say you should do?" Alice stared at the crossbow in Roy's hand. The words "Hurry up and hack her" were almost written on his face.

Roy looked at the few crossbow arrows in his pocket, and then imagined the thickness of the fur monster. Silently bowed his head. Hadava patted him on the shoulder as a sign of comfort. Completely ignoring Alice's expectant gaze, she slipped down the side path.

Alice was angry for five minutes about this.

"I think, true warriors. You need to find yourself a suitable opponent. If I were wearing a full set of legendary glass enchanted armor and holding a god-blessed weapon in my hand. I'll be happy to shoot the dragon down and make you dinner. "When walking into a spacious cave. Roy couldn't help but say this to Alice.

"But many times, it is your enemies who choose you. And you don't have the right not to choose them. ”

"But we can at least run. ”

"Like this now?" Before he could finish speaking, Hadava kicked Roy away.

A jagged crimson claw pierced deep into where Roy had just stood. This was followed by the second, and then the third......

"Frost Spider !!"

"Damn, why didn't I feel it at all!" Roy shouted in panic, and he rolled on the spot. Dodged another giant spider's attack.

"These guys are bigger than me!"

"There's a bigger !! there"

Under Roy's horrified gaze, a giant spider the size of a hill fell from the top of the cave. The shock wave upon landing almost knocked the three to the ground.

"Talos is on ......"

"What are you doing!?" Alice screamed. Her soft voice almost burst out. I saw her hammer one by one, and the brains of several frost spiders that fell beside her burst apart. Then the palm of the hand erupted with flames. Burn the other one that flies at you to charcoal.

"Run!" Hadava slashed with a few swords, slashing his way through the spider swarm. Then he picked up Roy and fled.

"Bang !!!"

A huge foot as thick as the thighs of two people pierced in front of them like an iron pillar. Hadava and Roy could clearly hear the grinding of their mouthparts behind them.

The two of them didn't dare to move, so they could only turn their heads stiffly and slowly.

Dozens of sharp teeth were tightly twisted together. They slowly parted, their gaping jaws almost enough to swallow a person whole! Dark cyan venom flowed between the teeth. Occasionally, a drop or two ablates a puff of smoke on the ground.

"I want to ...... It must have hurt...... "Hadava swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

At that moment, Alice let out a terrifying scream. It turned out that she didn't know when, she had already killed all the little spiders around her. Then he rushed to the hatching pool in an almost miraculous way, aiming the burning flames in his hands at the dozens of small spider eggs on it.

"Let them go, or I'll burn all your offspring!" cried Alice, not considering whether the Frost Spider could understand human language.

There was silence......

Except for the occasional dripping sound from the top of the cavern. There was no sound. The frost spiders scurrying around remained motionless as if they had all been immobilized.

The red light in the spider mother's eyes was uncertain, and she seemed to be hesitating.

And the flame in Alice's palm was even stronger.

It lifted its giant foot and opened a path for the two of Hadava. Approaching Alice from the side. The surviving frost spiders also gathered and formed a circle with the spider mother.

"Hurry up, I won't be able to support it for long. There was no emotion in Alice's voice. Her eyes were fixed on the spider mother.

Hadava tried to resist, but Roy held him back. He gave Alice a deep look, as if to imprint this imperial woman into the back of his mind.

He and Roy then slowly retreated until they entered a cave that was not very wide.

Thirty breaths had passed, and it was clear that the two had escaped far enough. Alice breathed a sigh of relief, and the flame in her left hand was suddenly extinguished.

Almost at the same time, the spider mother rushed up with a giant claw. Its eyes were full of rage, if the human in front of it hadn't been killed by it in the first blow. It will definitely raise her as its new seedbed. until his offspring grows as big as he is now. None of them will let this two-legged creature die!

Facing the menacing spider mother, Alice, who should have fallen into death, showed a sly smile. As soon as she flicked her hand, a dark glass vial flew into the mother spider's venom-covered mouth, making a crisp shattering sound.

"Bet on your luck~"

What happens next will probably be a nightmare for the rest of the frost spiders for the rest of their lives, if they can dream......

Almost instantly, the bottle of [Antidote] reacted violently with the venom in the spider mother's mouth. First smoke, then pale blue flames erupted from every hole in its body. The spider mother, who had fallen into madness due to pain, almost instinctively attacked everything in front of her in the midst of screaming. The six flaming giant feet crushed the frost spiders around it into meat sauce.

Sure enough, the torturer was not at ease in the first place. This bottle of [Antidote], I'm afraid it's more than just poison.

Alice took the opportunity to jump outward, and now the spider mother is not afraid. After only three or two steps, the girl rushed to the safer periphery, where there were only one or two scattered frost spiders. The maiden could almost ignore them.

If a qiē is normal......

The girl's eyes suddenly went dark, and the symptoms of mental exhaustion caused by the overuse of magic by the novice finally appeared. She fell to her knees as soon as she went limp. In a haze, Alice seemed to see a frost spider jumping in her direction.

[No...... This shouldn't be ...... I shouldn't have died here......]

The girl tried to straighten up, but the bones of her body wanted her to fall.

The last thing she heard was the snapping of crossbow arrows in the chaos behind her, and the faint but hurried footsteps.

By the time she came to her senses, she was far away from the spider's nest.

"Well done, we all owe you our lives. Hadava said to the maiden.

"And, we're in place. ”

Following the direction of Roy's finger, a glimmer of light reflected in Alice's eyes.
