Chapter 462 Vale's Tower Ascension ( 6 )
Since Vale had already established his proficiency with the Phantom Sword, he no longer hesitated to unleash his Arcane Spell. With resolute focus, he activated his Corpse Explosion Spell.
This Necromancer Spell that he extracted was already at the Advanced Realm.
It means that he could already target ten corpses and detonate them simultaneously!
'This is my first time using this… I hope that explosions would be strong enough…' Vale silently thought he selected ten spider carcasses as his targets… Then, he triggered the Corpse Explosion without delay.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of thunderous explosions reverberated through the hall, obliterating hundreds of spiders in an instant.
The impact was so immense that the very foundations of the hall seemed to tremble. Amidst the billowing smoke and debris, only a few remnants of the arachnid horde remained.
"Whoa~ That was dangerous…" Vale muttered as he even had to activate his Arcane Armor Spell to protect himself from the shockwave of the explosion.
Realizing that some spiders were still struggling, Vale swiftly summoned four Shadow Soldiers using his Shadow Soldier Spell to eliminate them.
Thud. Thud. Thud.
After a few seconds, only the Spider Queen stood defiantly, perched on the webs above.
Vale took a deep breath as he confirmed that all the small spiders were dealt with. Then, he shifted his attention to the creature above him.
"Are you going to attack or not?" Vale challenged, his gaze fixed on the formidable arachnid monarch.
The Spider Queen, seething with anger, retaliated by unleashing a barrage of webs while maintaining a safe distance from Vale's deadly blades.
Psshh~
Undeterred, Vale skillfully evaded the entangling webs, relying on his Lightspeed Spell.
Then, he suddenly maneuvered through the air.
Determined to take the fight to the enemy, he activated his Levitation Spell!
"If you won't come to me, then I shall come to you!"
Vale propelled himself towards the Spider Queen, ready to engage in a battle that he had imagined for a long time!
'An air combat…' Vale thought excitedly since this would be his first fight while flying!
As Vale soared through the air, he triggered his mystical weapon's ability as well.
Soon, his body was surrounded by the crackling energy of the Stormbringer Sword.
Since no one could see him here, he didn't mind triggering the power of this divine sword or the holy artifact of the Church of the Three Paragons.
Lightning danced along the edges of the sword, eager to be unleashed upon his enemy.
The Spider Queen, her eight eyes gleaming with malice, prepared to face this aerial onslaught with a screech that surprised Vale for a moment.
Luckily, it was still a Spell Attack, so his Spell Dispersion worked against it.
With a lightning-quick maneuver, Vale swiftly closed the distance, his sword ready to strike.
The Stormbringer Sword burst with power, its blade shimmering with an ethereal glow.
Whoosh~
As he swung the sword, arcs of lightning erupted, streaking toward the Spider Queen with blinding speed.
Boom!
The Spider Queen, caught off guard by the sudden attack, attempted to evade the electrifying assault.
But Vale's mastery over the Stormbringer Sword was already at a higher level.
He anticipated the creature's movements, his strikes following its every dodge as if guided by an invisible hand.
'As long as you're inside my Magic Zone, you're not escaping from me…' Vale thought with a smile.
I didn't take that long before bolts of lightning crashed into the Spider Queen, each strike delivering a surge of paralyzing energy.
The arachnid monarch convulsed under the onslaught, her exoskeleton crackling and smoking. However, it didn't collapse and continued fighting with its sharp legs and webs!
However, Vale continued moving like a mosquito around the huge Spider Queen. This was to ensure that his movement wouldn't get predicted so easily and also to get used to the Levitation Spell since he had just recently extracted this Spell.
The air around them buzzed with electricity as the battle between the lightning-wielding Arcanist and the spider queen intensified.
'You're tough… Just how did those two clear this stage…' Vale muttered as he realized that even the divine sword could not cut through the tough body of the spider…
As for the abdomen that he wanted to target, it was wrapped by a tough silver-like web, and his sword would just bounce off of it.
Undeterred by the Queen's resilience, Vale pressed on. His movements continued getting more precise as he controlled his Levitation Spell.
Vale weaved through the Spider Queen's attacks better and better… His sword strikes also started growing more deadly with each passing moment.
It was certainly difficult to use his Shadowblade Dance and Phantom Sword without the ground helping me, but it didn't take long before he got used to it.
The Stormbringer Sword became an extension of his will… As if it was responding to Vale's desire to end the battle, the sword pulsated with a stronger lightning energy.
"Haa!"
Vale used this chance and unleashed a devastating torrent of lightning, channeling the very essence of the storm through his blade.
"EEekk!"
The Spider Queen, caught in the tempest of electrifying power, writhed in agony as the lightning coursed through her body.
The Spider Queen's movements grew sluggish, her once formidable defenses crumbling under the relentless assault.
Finally, it fell to the ground…
Boom!
Sensing its imminent defeat, the Spider Queen mustered a desperate final attack, attempting to ensnare Vale in her web of treachery.
Psshhhh~
"Hmph!"
However, Vale was prepared.
With a burst of energy, he infused his Darkness Manipulation Spell to create a curtain that protected him from the web… Since he no longer has to use his Levitation Spell, which requires quite a lot of focus, he easily activated his other Arcane Spell.
After the failed attack from the enemy, Vale approached the Spider Queen.
[ Mystical Being has been discovered. Would you like to start the extraction? ]
"Yes…"
[ Extraction Successful. Energy +100, Strength +0.2, Agility +0.2, Intelligence +0.5, Malevolent Essence +40, Spider Egg +50 ]
"What?"
Vale was stunned as soon as he saw the result of his extraction.
