Chapter 90 The Rose and the Snake 30
Deep within the lair, the space suddenly opened up. In the center of a vast platform constructed from countless sticky spider silk and pale bones, sat a massive, mountain-sized, eight-eyed giant spider, emitting a terrifying aura. It was none other than the spider swarm's leader, Aragog.
Its eight dark green compound eyes were like searchlights, locking onto the intruders, especially the tiny elf with scarlet light burning in its eyes, who screamed provocatively in front of it.
Aragog let out a deafening roar! His massive mouth opened, revealing dagger-like fangs.
A dark green poisonous mist with a strong stench came like a fountain towards CC and Abraxas (who happened to be nearby).
At the same time, one of its legs, as thick as a beam and covered with bristles like steel needles, swept towards Abraxas with a sharp scream that tore through the air.
Abraxas' pupils suddenly shrank! His magic power was disordered and his physical strength was overdrawn. Facing this fatal double attack, there was no way to avoid it.
He could only subconsciously pour his remaining magic power into the snake-head silver staff, trying to condense a weak ice shield in front of him.
"Bang!"
The ice shield shattered like paper under Aragog's terrifying force! Abraxas was struck by a giant hammer and sent flying backwards.
And at the moment when his body lost its balance and his old strength had gone but new strength had not yet been generated, Aragog's other leg, which was ready to move, shot out like lightning.
The poisonous claw at the end, which flashed with a cold blue light, pierced Abraxas' right shoulder blade accurately and fiercely.
“Puff!”
The sound of a sharp blade entering flesh is so devastating!
“Ugh—!!!”
Abraxas let out a shrill, inhuman howl! Intense, soul-tearing pain instantly swept through his body.
He could clearly feel the horrific touch of the cold poisonous claws piercing the flesh, tearing the fascia, and even scraping the bones.
Immediately afterwards, a violent, highly paralyzing and corrosive poisonous magic power rushed into his body along the poisonous claws like a high-pressure injection.
His gray-blue eyes instantly rolled back to white, pupils dilated to the utmost! All his strength was instantly drained, and his body collapsed like a puppet with its strings cut. Only the terrifying venomous claw that pierced his body kept him from falling completely. The dark green venom mixed with blood, quickly staining the fabric of his back red.
[Warning! Host suffers fatal piercing damage! Acromantula King Venom Injected!]
[Pain synchronization rate soars! 65% → 70%!]
['Empathy Period' rule activated (synchronization rate ≥ 70%)! 70% of the host's physical and magical damage will be transferred to the capture target!] The system's sharp alarm exploded in both of their heads simultaneously!
Almost at the same moment when Abraxas was pierced by the venomous claws and the poison was injected into him——
“Ugh—!!!”
An equally shrill roar, filled with incredible pain, suddenly burst out from Voldemort's throat.
He was chasing CC, still a dozen steps away from Abraxas. But the moment the venomous claw pierced Abraxas' body, an indescribable pain, as if a huge red-hot steel spike pierced through the lower right shoulder blade, exploded in his body without any warning.
The pain was so real and so intense, far beyond the simulation of the mental link.
He could even clearly "feel" the burning sensation of the cold foreign object tearing his flesh and the venom flowing through his blood vessels.
Voldemort's strong body staggered suddenly and his wand flew out of his hand.
He tightly covered the area below his right shoulder blade with his left hand. His scarlet pupils instantly blurred due to the sudden, real pain that stemmed from his soul's empathy, filling them with rage and a hint of... fear?!
This is the 70% synchronization rate of empathy?! This pain... is so real?!
At this moment, Abraxas, who was pierced by Aragog's poisonous claws and hung in the air, unconsciously reflected Voldemort's staggering figure in pain in his blurred gray-blue pupils.
An extremely weak, almost broken, and endlessly mocking thought, like a candle in the wind, drifted through the depths of his consciousness, which was about to be overwhelmed by severe pain and poison:
"Now... do you feel it... too... Your Excellency?"
“His ...
Aragog roared in triumph, opened his huge mouthparts, and was about to drag the prey pierced by the poisonous claws to his mouth to enjoy!
"Avada Kedavra!"
An extremely cold curse, filled with earth-shattering rage, suddenly rang out like a judgment from the abyss!
Voldemort endured the soul-wrenching sympathetic pain below his right shoulder blade, and with his bloody left hand, he grabbed the air and the fallen wand flew back into his palm in an instant.
His scarlet pupils burned into two blood moons due to severe pain and extreme murderous intent.
An unprecedented dark green beam of the Killing Curse, which compressed endless darkness and violence, was like a spear of judgment from hell. It ignored the spatial distance and slammed heavily into Aragog's largest green compound eye.
"boom--!!!"
The terrifying explosion was accompanied by Aragog's shrill and desperate wail! The huge compound eyes instantly turned into a foul-smelling slurry.
The huge body twisted and twitched wildly, shaking the nest into pieces.
The poisonous claw that pierced Abraxas twitched violently and was pulled out due to the severe pain in his body.
Abraxas' body fell heavily on the sticky and smelly spiderweb ground like a broken doll, and the wound on his back gushed out blood mixed with dark green venom.
The severe pain and poison caused his consciousness to quickly sink into darkness.
Voldemort staggered forward a few steps, the sympathetic pain under his right shoulder blade still clear, making his face turn blue.
His scarlet pupils stared at the dying Abraxas on the ground, and his murderous intent clashed fiercely with the damn empathy rules.
Finally, his bloody left hand roughly grabbed Abraxas' collar, like dragging a bag of garbage, and pulled him out of the filth, ready to leave this damn nest.
And just as he turned around, he caught a glimpse of the source of the disaster deep in the lair from the corner of his eye - the old house elf CC!
CC was seen standing next to Aragog's huge, wildly twisting body, seemingly unaware of the imminent threat of death.
The two crimson lights deep within its turbid green eyes were like a burning furnace, their brightness reaching its peak! Even more terrifying was that at the core of that blazing crimson light, a totem that had previously only vaguely appeared in the reflection of the pool of blood was now manifesting with incredible clarity and stability.
It was a giant python phantom made entirely of burning scarlet magic, wrapped in countless black thorns.
It lurked deep within CC's pupils, its head held high towards the sky, hissing silently, emitting a terrifying aura that was the same source of Voldemort's power, but even more ancient, more violent, and more... filled with devouring desire.
Voldemort's pupils suddenly contracted to the extreme!
