Volume 1 Chapter 611
by post_apiChapter 611: Lolth Is Coming!
Lolth stood in front of the Bennett clan’s estate, looking at the calm yet dark aura surrounding the entire manor, lost in deep thought.
"The work of an evil god…"
She sensed the strange, otherworldly magic and made a judgment.
Compared to her disciple, the Great Sage from the Wizard Association, and the members of the Church of Light…
Lolth could see something deeper.
This indeed was a rule caused by the "Holy Domain."
However, this was clearly a "Holy Domain" taken over by an evil god.
And it definitely did not originally belong to the followers of the evil god.
Because of this "darkness," there was a clear feeling of "impurity."
If a god personally intervened, the purity of their divine power would be a bit higher if it was for their own follower.
Although it felt strange to describe the Power of the Evil God as "pure," there was indeed a feeling of a small amount of impurities in it.
After all, she had faced two evil gods directly.
There were not many people on this continent who had survived such experiences.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that Lolth was a half-expert on evil gods.
"Final Ending" and "Revival," the two evil gods from another world…
The similarities between the two evil gods were also quite obvious.
Their divine power had a strong rejection quality and a completely different aura compared to the mainland and even the Abyss or Hell Plane.
Even the magic of the Abyss and the Hell Plane tended towards chaos and destruction.
However, it did not have that broken feeling, like the remnants of something that came after total destruction, from the Power of the Evil God.
Those without these traits might not be the evil god.
But if there were such traits, Lolth was sure…
This must be the power from the evil god.
"The Church of Light is becoming more and more interesting."
Even the evil god had appeared here…
Lolth was completely confused about what the God of Light intended to do!
Although according to the Pope, the God of Light should be in a deep sleep…
However, even in deep sleep, for an evil god to appear in the Holy Capital was surely due to the God of Light turning a blind eye!
The strongest god in the mainland’s pantheon, no matter how evil, could not perform such actions in the Holy Capital if the God of Light did not allow it.
The only explanation was that… the God of Light, for some reason, did not stop them.
Even this evil god dared to take the risk of projecting its divine power into the territory of the Holy Capital…
There must be a special reason for that.
Although the pope’s succession was a significant event, it was not enough for an evil god to act "personally."
After all, no matter how much the God of Light turned a blind eye…
Once this was done, and traces were left in the Holy Capital, they had to be ready for the God of Light to confirm the location of their alternate plane and come to crush them!
Meanwhile, Lolth had a vague intuition…
Perhaps it was because she was in the Holy Capital.
Whether it was the evil god making a big fuss or the God of Light allowing such things to happen,
in the end, maybe both had their own reasons.
This was not just Lolth being vain.
Because she truly was someone who received a lot of attention from the God of Light and was also favored by the evil god.
If she remembered correctly, the "God of Demise" was still very eager to have her serve Him…
Thinking of this, Lolth decided to first assess the rank of this evil god.
The method was quite simple.
She quietly raised her right index finger and released a hint of "Ultimate Power" into the darkness.
And then…
There was absolutely no response.
Lolth was stunned.
Because, according to her understanding of the characteristics of the Power of the Evil God, the reactions between different Powers of the Evil God could be even more intense than those between magical power and the Powers of the Evil God!
It seemed that there was an unbreakable bond between the evil gods and their powers!
Even if "Ultimate Power" was lower than these Powers of the Evil God and was "devoured," one would still surely feel something!
However, the truth was…
The "darkness" before her was incredibly calm.
"It’s really a bit hard to understand…"
Lolth thought this and gently touched her chin.
Then she made a decision.
She took a step forward and stepped into the quiet "darkness."
The moment Lolth reached the edge of this "darkness,"
she could feel that this "darkness" instantly showed great hostility towards her!
It was as if she had a grudge against it, and what should have been a thin layer of power rapidly expanded.
Countless shadows rushed from the center of the manor toward this edge!
Considering there might be survivors from The Church of Light inside, and since she was currently a member of The Church of Light, Lolth did not hesitate to use the power of Holy Light.
"Buzz—"
The Holy Light, purer and more powerful than the Holy Light of the Rod of Eden, quickly dispelled the darkness around Lolth within a five-meter radius.
It then illuminated the "darkness" that was rushing toward Lolth.
Among the darkness, there were faint, shifting monsters that seemed to be lurking and watching her closely.
If Patricia and Dorothy were here, they would notice…
These "monsters" were not on the same level as those they had encountered.
Although they were equally fierce, the ones surrounding Lolth were…
Even in terms of "size," they were much larger than those they had faced.
Moreover, they were not of a very vague form.
Even though they were hidden in the darkness, their limbs were equally twisted…
But their images were much clearer and more specific.
Above the head and body, there were many details.
Whether it was scales, feathers, or sharp claws, they all had distinct shapes and layers.
Even on the top of the head, there were features that resembled facial features.
Of course, those features were just as fierce as their sharp teeth and huge mouths.
"What a warm welcome…"
Lolth furrowed her brows slightly.
When she entered this "darkness," she felt and analyzed the characteristics of this "darkness."
Originally, she thought this type would not be the first to attack her.
Because she could feel that within this "darkness," there were elements that detected people’s hostility.
"How strange, it feels like I have triggered their hostility conditions."
But she hadn’t done anything at all!
Still, she had to deal with them first.
"Listen up, you guys—stop dancing around, I’m starting to feel a bit dizzy!"
Saying this, Lolth reached out her right hand.
In front of her, at the same time as her raised right hand, a giant hand made of Holy Light appeared.
It was about the same size as Lolth herself, resembling her right hand but magnified several times.
This giant Holy Light hand reached into the darkness and grabbed a monstrous creature by its neck.
Then, it dragged out the dark monster, which was about four or five meters long and looked like a lizard.
The lizard let out a sharp cry.
"Creak—"
A harsh sound, like two extremely hard pieces of metal rubbing together, echoed as the monster twisted its body, seeming to try to escape the grip of the Holy Light giant hand.
However…
It was naturally impossible.
Lolth watched it with great interest, observing it for a moment.
"Legend level… beginner… hmm, with the support of this dark power, it has the battle strength of Middle Level."
She made this remark while slowly raising her right hand…
And the gigantic hand of Holy Light moved at the same time, lifting the monster into the air!
After that, Lolth seemed to be filled with some kind of power as the Holy Light hand trembled slightly.
Soon, countless black threads appeared on the monster’s body.
They spread out, reaching into the endless darkness behind it.
There were probably thousands of them, making it look like a puffed-up porcupine.
"So these monsters are also from your kind, huh…"
"And a dark god too? This is just pure nonsense…"
Lolth whispered this, slightly furrowing her brow.
Then, she clenched her fist tightly.
The Holy Light giant hand suddenly tightened, and the monster struggled even harder.
But a few seconds later, it lost its ability to resist.
Then…
It turned into a thick "darkness," flowing out from the gaps between the fingers of the Holy Light giant hand controlled by Lolth, and along those many thin threads, it returned to the darkness.
At that moment…
The remaining hidden monsters seemed to receive some kind of command, or realized that the situation was bad…
Almost at the same time, they rushed out of the darkness and attacked Lolth.
In total, there were seven of them, each with nearly the same energy as the previous monster!
From seven different directions, they all attacked Lolth’s main body!
Lolth looked at the monsters coming towards her and did not feel scared.
She simply sighed gently.
"That’s a good idea."
In the next moment, she lifted her left hand as well.
However, instead of another Holy Light giant hand appearing in the air,
There were…
Nine.
Together with the one from before, there were a total of ten Holy Light giant hands to face the charging monsters!
Controlling these Holy Light giant hands did depend on her moving her own hands.
But one hand does not represent a Holy Light giant hand.
One finger represents one.
Although her whole hand was moving just now, it was only to make her feel more engaged.
If she really wanted to control it, one index finger would have been enough!!!
The Holy Light giant hand danced in the air as Lolth raised her hands high, her fingers flying up and down like she was playing a complicated instrument!
This Holy Light giant hand may not have been her original divine spell, but it was indeed the most suitable divine spell for her.
Because she was born a succubus…
Lolth’s fingers were naturally more agile than most humans!
The seven monsters were almost captured before they could reach Lolth!
And this time, after obtaining seven…
Lolth also decided not to rush to get rid of them.
Instead, she planned to conduct some more meticulous research!
In this aspect, she and Kanor surprisingly understood each other very well.
After all… Kanor’s habit of studying everything had been formed right here with Lolth!
Meanwhile, as Lolth easily dealt with the seven beginner-level legendary monsters…
On the third floor of the manor, Dorothy and Patricia also started to struggle against the onslaught of more than ten epic-level, Superlative Level monsters.
Although they became exceptionally tricky under the influence of darkness, their highest battle strength was only close to legendary level.
So even though Patricia, the Great Sage of Legend High Level, got hurt at first and lost some magic power, she could still manage!
If it weren’t for Dorothy’s extreme abilities, she, at this Superlative Level, could have joined the battle!
However, even though Dorothy did not join the direct fight, she was not idle…
Although her self-taught extraordinary powers were useless without monsters, after learning from Lolth, Dorothy mastered some extraordinary methods focused on making Magic Potions and handling magical materials!
Now, under the protection of Patricia, she was creating "Magic Potions" and simple magical tools that could help Patricia in battle.
Restoring energy and magical power, limiting the enemy’s actions…
According to the knowledge taught by Lolth, Dorothy was becoming increasingly skilled.
With Dorothy’s support, Green Sky Star Heaven unleashed one powerful spell after another, driving the surrounding monsters back.
Some of them were even severely injured or killed.
After the four monsters died, they transformed into darkness and returned to the surrounding shadows.
Of the more than ten left, it seemed that half were seriously injured.
However… their situation was still not optimistic!
Because behind this pile of monsters, the greatest threat was obviously transformed into some strange "existence" named Dena Bennett…
He had not made a move!
He even returned to his seat, with his long sword resting on his knees again.
His eyes were closely focused on the fighting Patricia and Dorothy.
It seemed he was observing their actions, as if waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
This made Patricia feel a chill in her heart…
To be honest, if it weren’t for the need to divide some of her attention to keep an eye on this guy…
Patricia should not have been entangled with this group of monsters for so long with Dorothy’s help.
The more they fought, the more Patricia felt something was off.
Was the enemy’s goal really to kill her?
If just a few more sword lights appeared, she and Dorothy would surely be in even bigger trouble.
But why had they stopped attacking?
Even someone as clever as Patricia couldn’t figure it out!
Especially as time passed, not only Dena Bennett, but the dark "gaze" around them also became more pronounced.
But…
There were still no new movements occurring!
And Patricia did not know that…
The "change" had actually happened long ago.
It just wasn’t here.
In the banquet hall on the first floor, Kanor used the light of "day" to observe every frozen member of "The Church of Light."
Next to her, Lalea also followed Kanor, sometimes fulfilling Kanor’s requests to "attack them" a little.
Just as the two were investigating…
A voice also came from the third floor of the banquet hall.
"Hello to both of you!"
