Chapter 10: A Transcendent Slash

"Move and dodge!" Lanka shouted loudly as he dodged the spider's thrust. However, the knights, disturbed by the fear in their hearts and the sound of the falling trees around them, moved noticeably slower, and were impaled by spiders one after another. The spider's feet shattered the skull directly through the head, and then pierced through the back, splitting the person in two. As a result, the knights lost their lives before they had time to feel the pain, but in a sense such a death may also be a mercy.

The surviving knights gathered around Lanka, their number reduced from the initial 20 to 6, their hands holding their swords trembling incessantly, unabashedly revealing their inner wavering. With an invulnerable exoskeleton and a penetrating power far greater than the feet of a spear, the spiders in front of them are no match for warriors who rely solely on muscle strength to fight, and if they continue to stay here, they will be wiped out.

As if mocking the crowd, the spider did not continue to attack, but unhurriedly began to devour the corpses on the ground, stuffing the dismembered people into their mouths like fruit, splashing red juice, this scene could not help but make people feel creepy.

"I'm sorry guys, I'm going to ask you to get out of here, I need to use all my strength to defeat this guy, you're going to hold me back if you're here!" Lanka flicked his shoulders and smiled at the knight beside him. That smile is full of confidence, and it makes people feel that the boy in front of him has a trick that can defeat the spider. However, it was the idea of someone who did not understand Lanka's personality and simply saw this smile with ease. Although the knights present had not spent much time with Lanka, they also knew the character of the young boss from the several battles they had experienced together. Although he is strong, he is not strong enough to defeat the spider alone, and the reason why he said that at this moment is not really hiding any killer features, but because he wants everyone to escape and say goodbye to the queen of the palace alone.

"Hey, hey, Lanka, isn't it too despicable to be handsome by yourself every time."

"Generally, the chief throws down his subordinates and escapes by himself, how can he let his subordinates flee and stay by himself, you can't be promoted to an official like this."

The knights also began to laugh and tease, and the tense atmosphere around them suddenly became relaxed.

"What nonsense are you talking about! If you start running now, you won't be able to escape, do you want to die together? Lanka's voice was filled with anger.

Indeed, spiders have very long legs, and if they move on the surrounding trees as a fulcrum, they will be far faster than humans, and even if they are riding a horse, they may not be able to escape, let alone in an environment with no vision and complex terrain such as the forest at night.

"I'm a family man, Lanka, you're still a virgin, it's a pity to die like this before you have tasted a woman!"

"Hahahaha, let the virgin queen do such a thing, my self-esteem as a man can't bear it!"

"That's right, we're here to stall for time, Lanka, you go first!"

At some point, the knights' hands were no longer trembling, their hearts had completely conquered the fear of death, and their eyes began to burn with fighting spirit.

"You," Ranka's eyes welled up with tears as he turned to the other two in the rear and shouted, "Mr. Carter! Il! Please take the spider's information out of the forest and get the villagers to evacuate, we'll try to buy time! ”

The burly armored warrior made the received gesture.

If it was Mr. Carter, they would have been able to escape, Lanka thought and turned his gaze back to the spider, "Let's get up together and unload this spider!" ”

"Oh!" The knights let out a loud shout.

Once you are aware of death, your mood calms down, and your body moves more smoothly than usual, which may be the so-called potential stimulation. Lanka and the six knights attacked the feeding spider, and they deftly dodged the thrust of the spider's foot, aiming at the joint of the foot and slashing at it.

Although the bones of the joints are thinner than the others, they are still not cut by ordinary long swords, only Lanka's greatsword has an effect, and the front end of one foot is cut out, and green liquid sprays out from the section.

Although it was only the front end of one foot, it still brought great encouragement to everyone, and the six knights took turns to attract the attention of the spiders, and Lanka took the opportunity to attack, and with some subtle cooperation, the two spiders' feet were cut off, and the spider, which had been in an absolutely suppressed position, let out a sharp cry and took a few steps back for the first time.

Maybe the opponent is not so invincible, just when hope is rekindled in everyone's hearts, the spider's body changes again, and the next scene undoubtedly makes everyone's hearts sink to the bottom of the sea again.

With a piercing scream, dense sword thorns grew on the surface of the spider's body, the tip of the foot changed from the shape of a spear to a flat blade, and the two severed feet quickly regenerated, the color of the body changed from black to flaming red, and the speed was also a notch higher than before. This change greatly improved its melee ability, completely blocking the attack of Lanka and others.

Lanka and knights who don't have long-range attack ability have no chance of winning, whether they are close to the opponent or far away from the opponent, they can't escape the fate of death, the only difference is the way of death, whether it is cut off by a spider's foot or chopped by a spider's web, either is not so beautiful.

"You guys have done a great job, you are all excellent warriors, and it is my Lanka's honor to die with you." Lanka swallowed, the long battle and the rising temperature around him made his mouth very dry, but even so, he laughed heartily.

"Where, it is our honor to be able to meet a boss like you at the end of our lives." The knights were also panting, and the constant state of high mental concentration also brought their bodies to the limit.

The spider quickly rushed over, although it was unwilling, but there was no way to do it, after all, the strength between it and the opponent was too far away. Lanka clenched his greatsword again, ready to meet death.

"Retardation!"

The ground twisted and twisted like vines, biting the spider's feet.

A strong hand grasped Lanka's shoulder, and Lanka turned around to see that the two people who appeared next to him were Carter and Il.

"Mr. Carter, Iir! Why don't you go? Seeing the two people who had thought they had fled, Ranka felt despair in his heart, and he asked in a complaining tone.

"Aha, I'm here to save you, are you so moved that you want to cry?" Ignoring Lanka's anger, Ilr said with a smile.

"Lend your sword," Carter took the greatsword from Lanka's hand and swung it a few times as easily as wielding a twig.

"Wait, wait, Mr. Carter, that guy isn't something a warrior like us can defeat, melee weapons have no effect on it!" Realizing that Carter was about to attack the spiders, Lanka shouted in a panic.

"Then it's just five seconds!" The tree fell between Lanka and the armored warrior in front of him, and in the fierce burning sound, Lanka seemed to hear Carter say this.

Of course, he didn't understand the meaning of the words, and at the moment he was feeling deep remorse for bringing Carter and Il in, if only he hadn't agreed to let them come with him.

"Brother Carter, hurry up, I can't hold on!" Il urged loudly.

The soil that bound the spider was forcefully pulled off, and the huge spider had broken free of its restraints and rushed over.

All eyes were on Carter's back, and everyone except Ilr expressed regret that a life was about to be lost.

Indeed, a life is about to pass away, but not Carter but a spider.

Carter walked forward slowly, in stark contrast to the rapid attack of the spider, who launched a storm-like attack with ten legs, but under such a dense attack, Carter still walked under the spider as if he were strolling in a leisurely garden. Of course, the spider's attack was not missed, but was quickly dodged by Carter when he was about to hit him, because that movement was too fast, it was beyond the range of human eyes, so in the eyes of Lanka and others, Carter's walking trajectory always seemed to be a straight line.

"One"

"Two"

Carter's mouth counted the numbers that didn't really mean it.

"Three"

On the count of three, he swung his greatsword.

Then, a scene that made people think that they would only appear in a dream happened, and a white light suddenly flashed, splitting the surrounding flames in two as if splitting time and space. The spider's ten legs flew in different directions, and the severed parts were not weakly defended joints, but exoskeletons as hard as steel. Carter's slash was not some kind of superb skill, or even no skill at all, just like the basic movements of a warrior who was new to the sword had to swing thousands of times a day, relying entirely on brute force. However, such an ordinary slash produced a power beyond human common sense, and the green liquid instantly splashed everywhere, and the spider let out a painful scream.

"Four"

Carter was still counting the numbers in his mouth, losing the support of his feet, and the spider's body, which was originally in mid-air, fell down.

"Five"

The sword light flashed again, and the spider's body that fell from the sky was cut in two in the middle and flew towards the flames on both sides.

And Carter was still standing there, the red figure above everything like a god in the light of the fire, and what was even more terrifying was that even the spider body fluids splashed indiscriminately seemed to be afraid of him, and did not touch his armor at all.

"Exactly five seconds," Carter said calmly as he turned around and said calmly to Lanka and the others, who were almost suffocated with surprise.
