"Yes, you did say that you were able to help us with our food problems...... "Aragog muttered, "so...... There's another reason - the head of the Dark Wizard has come to me. ”

In the deepest part of the spider's lair, Aragog and its first blood-modified children gathered around Maca. They all watched in silence, listening to her conversation with their father.

Behind Aragog, the leader of the incident is hiding in the shadows, as if he had no idea of coming out to face Maca from the beginning.

"Which head?" After hearing Aragog's words, Maca continued to ask.

"He calls himself the 'Dark Lord,'......" Aragog said, "and it's a very powerful dark force that we can't resist...... By the way, there's a familiar smell on him......"

"The smell of snakes?" Maca reacted immediately.

"Yes, that's right," Aragog replied softly...... "The blood of the basilisk makes us feel a hint of our kind...... Dark, damp...... Sizzle......"

"And then? He wants you and your children to attack Hogwarts? Maca asked lightly.

"He promised me that when he succeeded, he would give us an inexhaustible supply of flesh—" Aragog's tone became a little cruel, as if some kind of ferocity was gradually burning in it, "delicious ...... Human...... Flesh ......"

"Even though you have enough intelligence, you still can't suppress the temptation of instinct?" Maca stared at Aragog for a moment, then shook her head, "But what made you think he would succeed?" ”

"Because ......," Aragog said eerily, "you will surely come to me." ”

The moment these words came out of its mouth, a large amount of black qi rushed into the hole behind the maca, and those black qi churned and swirled...... Turned into a large number of figures covered in black smoke.

Almost at the same time, Aragog and his children suddenly emitted a strange black gas, and the originally gray spider eyes became pitch black again.

"And because ......," Aragog continued, "we have more power!" ”

Before the words fell, the dozens of fierce Black Death Apostles and huge spiders, wrapped in a thick black qi, rushed straight towards Maca standing in the middle.

"Boom!"

Maca's eyes narrowed slightly, and she slammed the staff on the ground with a cold face, and a rune on the top of the staff suddenly flickered. In an instant, a touch of ice blue suddenly spread from his body, and the cold breath covered the huge cave with a layer of frost in the blink of an eye.

All the spiders and the Black Death, along with the black aura that spread from their bodies, froze in their path.

"Aragog, let me ask you one last sentence—" Maka said in a calm tone, "do you think you raised you?" Your life...... Who exactly does it belong to? ”

"Hmph......" The black aura on Aragog's body suddenly flourished, and as one of its long legs stepped forward, the frost covered by his body suddenly shattered, "Yes! It's Hagrid - Rubeus Hagrid! But ......"

It paused, and roared coldly, "But so what? He's just treating me like a pet, and you, Marca McLean! They only treated me as an experiment! But that's right, no one is wrong - because at the end of the day, everything will be going to be food! Weakling...... Be the food of the strong! ”

The eight-eyed giant spider is a species that follows its instincts from beginning to end, and even its dead companions are reduced to food. No matter how close their intelligence is to humans, from the very beginning, the concept alone is completely different.

"Yes......" Maka chuckled, "it's rare that I'm still pinning my hopes on the bond between you and Hagrid, really...... You've disappointed me. ”

"Click-"

The frost shells on the rest of the spiders and the Black Dead cracked one after another, and black gas leaked out wantonly, slowly turning into a pulsing black flame.

Looking at these familiar black flames, Maca couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

"Has the Black Death increased in power again?" He calmly observed, as if he hadn't paid too much attention to the impending attack, "Voldemort's situation is really worrying! ”

"Whoa—"

Countless shards of ice splattered in all directions, and the enemies rushed to Maca like a tidal wave, and the illusory black flames tumbled and leaped, as if they had a will of their own.

On the ground were a large number of blackened eight-eyed giant spiders, and in the air were dozens of black deaths, no matter which side they were, they would not be afraid or retreat because of death.

"You don't have a chance!" Aragog whispered in his thick voice, "My children, innumerable! ”

It is right that no matter how powerful a wizard is, he will eventually be exhausted when he encounters an enemy who has gone after him. Even though Maca's magic is amazing, he sometimes runs out of magic.

And when the final moment comes, the children of Alagog will mercilessly drown him.

But Maca didn't pay any more attention to its words, only to see him raise his staff high, and several blue-white beams of light burst out from the rune, sweeping around Maca's body.

The eight-eyed giant spiders and the Black Death Apostles who rushed to the front all disappeared in black flames, falling to the ground and shattering into ice lumps.

The spiders following them were also blocked one by one, and the speed of their forward rush immediately slowed down.

Without saying a word, Maca swept the air again. This time, the pillar of light was more than a circle thicker than before, and its strength was significantly higher, directly destroying the Black Dead who flew through the air with one blow.

Of course, an attack of this strength inevitably consumes a huge amount of mana, and he obviously can't use it all the time.

But at this moment, Maca frowned slightly, as if he suddenly noticed something, and suddenly looked back at the hole behind him.

It was this "glance" that focused his attention that made him sense a cloud of magic rushing out of the hole.

With a backhand swing of his staff, Maca's magic turned into a sharp blade and flew out at high speed in front of his staff, shooting towards the mass of magic that was about to disappear into his senses.

“…… Not. ”

A muffled grunt echoed faintly from the darkness, and then the magic broke away from Maca's perception.

“…… Sokas? ”

He put the thought aside for a moment, then turned to look at Aragog again. At the same time, with his left hand, he pulled out a small test tube with an oak stopper on it.

"I'll give you a ride instead of Hagrid!" He looked beyond the large number of spider hairy feet, and coldly looked at Aragog, who was still at the end, and said, "You should be glad that at least I adopted some of your children." ”

The spiders around him had already rushed to his side, and the giant claws that had even raised in front of him had even been raised, and their mouthparts that kept opening and closing flashed with dark green venom.

But the maca who was surrounded in it showed no signs of being moved.

saw that the test tube in his hand suddenly shattered, and the liquid in it immediately evaporated the moment it touched the air.

In the next moment, the spiders and spiders around Maca collapsed weakly from the closest circle to him, and for a moment his ears were full of rumbling and falling to the ground.

"That's ...... What the...... "......Aragog was also unable to support his body anymore, and the feeling of incomparable weakness spread throughout his body, and he could even feel his life draining little by little.

"Don't you think I'm just using you as an experiment?" Maca threw the shattered test tube in her hand and said expressionlessly, "...... I hope my behavior will satisfy you. ”

"You-" Aragog suddenly twitched, and a large amount of green foam spread from his huge mouthparts, "sure enough...... The blood of the predator...... It's so annoying......"

“…… Is it? ”

Maca said lightly, then turned and walked out. With a slight wave of the staff in his hand, a strong gust of wind silently rose and circulated around the cave, and then violently blew out of the cave.

Betrayed by a creature that he had modified himself, how could he make such a low-level mistake?

From the moment he first formulated the bloodline transformation plan, he already had the intention of leaving behind. And in the bloodline transformation, the difficulty of using hands and feet is much simpler than the perfect transformation.

But seriously, he didn't really want this backhand to come in handy at all.

In his impression, although Aragog was cruel, he was still grateful to Hagrid, the man who raised him and saved his life. Hagrid also has a deep affection for the little spider who once lived in the cupboards of the Hogwarts kitchen.

In this way, according to the habits of the eight-eyed giant spider, the Aragog clan in this forbidden forest will definitely not survive one in ten. Because these guys often eat their own kind, the modified ones are significantly more ferocious.

Maca thought as she paced past the large and small spiders on the ground, and was about to throw the magic book in her hand in front of her, when she noticed a fluttering voice behind her.

“…… I'm sorry...... Hagrid. ”

He turned his head suddenly, and the glow on his staff suddenly lit up, only to see that Aragog's four pairs of spider eyes were once again occupied by gray and white. Judging by the last sentence of "sorry", the previous behavior is obviously somewhat contradictory.

In a moment of hesitation, Maca seemed to remember something. He saw his staff suddenly stretched forward, and a skull black shadow swept straight towards Aragog's body.

Immediately, a spider soul that was constantly being eaten away by inexplicable power was driven out of the body.

"It seems that the previous research is not wrong, is the target of the Bewitching Monument really the soul?" Seeing the soul grow into tatters, Maca frowned and fell into deep thought.

“…… To correct it, it is the soul that has been aroused by desire. After a moment, he said abruptly.
