Endless Evolution: Last Star

Chapter 655 The Lower Level

Monsters and humans were very different, but they too were capable of feeling emotions, from joy and anger to pleasure and hatred.

Obviously, after what Abel did, the Obsidian Spiders wouldn't be able to quell their wrath until they destroyed every bit of him, and he understood that perfectly well.

Tap.

Abel, covered in blood from the blood vessels and in the white fluid seeping out of the eggs, stopped abruptly with his broad back against the wall.

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

A loud hissing sounded from all directions as a multitude of long legs descended upon Abel. The Obsidian Spiders attacked him with everything they had, using their long legs and powerful jaws, but breaking through his defenses was not easy at all.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

Every second, dozens of pulses were passing through Abel's body - the recoil from the monsters' attacks, the pressure was rapidly building up, but for now, Abel was fine.

"Hah, you're hitting weakly! You can't even scratch my shield let alone break through my protection!" Abel exclaimed with an excited expression.

Whooooooosh.

At the same moment, a green blob of corrosive poison flew into his golden shield, flying over the spiders' backs.

Abel's pupils narrowed as he raised his shield sharply, successfully blocking the poison shot, but that was only the beginning.

Now, he had to block not only the spiders' strikes but also the hail of venomous clots.

The Obsidian Spiders realized that despite their best efforts, they couldn't get through Abel's defenses, so they became faster and faster, condensing into a smaller area.

At one point, a trickle of blood trickled from the corner of Abel's mouth, the negative effects of the powerful pulses running through his body getting stronger and stronger.

And when all the Obsidian Spiders gathered in front of Abel, some starting to climb the walls to get close to him from above, the moment his allies were waiting for arrived.

"Good."

Talna nodded, realizing that time was short.

"Now, it's time for me to get involved."

Thrust.

With a wide sweep, Talna clutched her silver cross tightly, the spike-like sharp sides sinking into her pale skin, causing trickles of blood to carry pain over her face.

"Well, sometimes your Nexus can be very capricious. It always wants my blood to start working. Why did this even happen in the first place?" Talna smiled crookedly as her eyes shone brightly.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

...

After a few minutes of true carnage from one performer, there was not a single Obsidian Spider left alive.

Silvana stood in the center of the cave, breathing heavily.

"Agh... Agh... Agh..."

Her entire body was covered in dark insect blood, jets of hot steam escaping upwards and crimson droplets flowed down her black blades in a rapid stream, forming puddles on the ground.

Abel went back for his hammer, and Talna walked on, looking at the wide hole below.

"Damn..." Talna scratched the back of her head, "There's a lot of protruding rocks, but... how long will it take us to get back down."

Silvana appeared behind her, still holding her blood-covered scissors threateningly.

Talna puffed up her cheeks.

"Hey, if you do that you'll scare people."

"Let's move on." Silvana said impatiently.

Tap.

Talna waved her hand with half-closed eyes.

"Wait, we have nowhere to rush, give yourself and Abel a few minutes to catch your breath. No one knows what's in store for us next, and you need to think about how to climb down so you don't scratch your hilts and buns!"

Another joke didn't get the desired reaction as Silvana was getting too stressed out for some reason.

Clutch.

Before Talna could say anything, Silvana connected her blades into scissors and grabbed her face with her free hand before jumping down.

She wanted to finish this mission as quickly as possible to get rid of the anxiety inside, burning like wildfire.

"Mhm!"

The only thing Abel heard was Talna's mumble, who was clearly against such treatment.

"Agh..."

Abel shook his head, resting the hammer on his shoulder.

"Women are so fickle... One moment they're fun to be with, and the next moment they danger."

He was left with no other choice, so with a shrug Abel jumped down straight to the lowest level.
