Chapter 80 Spider Queen Elise

now.

Niamh finally couldn't hold on any longer, he started running towards the library door.

Seeing this, Iris raised the corners of her lips slightly.

She shrugged slightly, and the limbs with hooks on her back bent hard, and a ball of silk sprayed towards the hourglass wrapped in the cloak in Niamh's hand.

Niamh turned to dodge, but the sticky spider web hit the edge of his cloak.

Pull back again.
The hourglass broke free from his hand, flew backwards, and hit the wooden edge of the cabinet behind him heavily.

The hourglass cracked and a dark blue smoke came out from the crack.

"You idiot." Iris cursed, "Look at what you have done!"

The air was filled with smoke, which was surging endlessly, and flashes of scarlet electric light appeared from time to time.

Then, a terrifying shadow gradually emerged from the smoke.

The shadow was broad and huge, wearing heavy rusty armor.

Then, a skull emerged, and its huge mouth full of fangs opened a gap, exuding a vicious greed that was chilling.

"What is this?!" Niamh screamed in horror.

Iris snorted coldly:
"The Soul Eater of the Shadow Isles."

"A creature with an insatiable appetite, forever devouring human souls."

Dialogue room.

A group of broken evil spirits suddenly appeared around the Soul Eater.

Some of them were missing arms, some were missing chins, some had their internal organs exposed and their heads were empty.

They were tightly bound to the Soul Eater by a blood-red light chain, being devoured and ruthlessly enslaved.

Niam was stunned when he saw these horrible evil spirits. Fear took over his body and mind, making him completely frozen.

And Iris's face also turned ugly.

"Look what you've done, you thief!" she shouted at Niam in dissatisfaction.

However, Niamh showed no reaction.

It was not until she stepped forward and grabbed his shoulders that he came to his senses, "Take up the sword and fight, or we will both die."

Before Iris finished her words, the Soul Eater rushed over, his weird smile splitting his cruel face into two halves.

Those enslaved evil spirits also floated over under its manipulation.

"quick!"

Elise yelled again.

The thief trembled as he raised his knife and began to hack at them randomly. The evil spirits were injured by the ascender's weapon and screamed in pain.

Iris also used the slender feet behind her back to whip forward, and the two of them retreated towards the door while resisting.

But at this moment, Niam, who was a little slower, was suddenly scratched by an evil spirit.

The evil spirit's claws scratched his flesh, and in an instant, a cold blue light was injected into his body.

He screamed in terror, then stumbled and fell.

In the critical situation, Iris endured the cold and numbness brought by her wounds, pulled him up and ran to the restaurant outside the study.

After coming outside.

Iris immediately ordered the little spiders to spin silk and weave webs, using the webs to fill the gaps in the door and the keyhole, sealing the entire door tightly.

However, soon.

A strong blue light appeared around the threshold, and it was obvious that such defense could not last long.

After being temporarily safe.

Niamh gasped for breath and looked at Iris with a complicated expression.

"Thank you." He thanked sincerely, "You saved me."

"I'm not trying to save you!" Iris said sternly with a cold face.

"why?"

Niamh looked puzzled.

"If the Soul Eater is allowed to eat living creatures, it will become even stronger, and I will be powerless to resist."

She said as she walked into the dining room, "Get up, the web won't last long."

Niam limped after him, but at this time, because he was injured by the evil spirit, he was emitting a dim light of death.

His soul was dissipating, and he was no different from being dead.

But... he himself didn't know.

Elise looked at him, shook her head, and immediately stretched out a leg from her shoulder and stabbed him in the neck.

Niamh shuddered, the blade trembling in his hand.

"What are you doing?!" he yelled.

"I injected you with a trace amount of poison that will keep you alive a little longer."

Niamh was confused: "What are you talking about?"

"The touch of the Shadow Isles is a declaration of death. Every second you humans stay on the island, you will lose your soul, just like a wound that never heals and keeps bleeding."

"Now, that wound has seeped into your body and has been sucking the life out of you."

Niamh steadied himself by holding onto the dining table, and Elise saw dark veins beginning to spread across his face.

"Impossible." Niamh looked unconvinced, "You were also hurt by those evil spirits."

"My body is a magical creation, woven from the venom of an ancient god," Iris explained.

"Are you immortal?"

"No, but a mere Soul Eater can't kill me." She whispered finally, "I hope so."

At this time, Elise walked to the window.

The moonlight enveloped her, giving her a soft halo and making her look like an angel again.

Her skin was radiant, soft and full of vitality, and her eyes were bright and lively.

Niamh looked at her quietly, his heartbeat slightly faster, "So beautiful."

"What do others call you?" Iris suddenly asked.

“Niam.” His mind drifted back to the past. “Niam with a face that exploded.”

Iris tilted her head to one side, "Explosive face? Why do you say that?"

He turned up his upper lip to show his split gums and the suture scar on the inside.

Elise nodded, reaching out to gently touch his cheek and jaw, "Everyone has their own scars, Niamh."

The sudden caress and comfort made Niamh feel as if a strange and warm power was injected into his body.

"Please hold your knife tightly." Iris said softly, "You need it now!"

Bang——

As soon as she finished her words, the door was thrown open by the evil army of Soul Eaters.

With the encouragement of Elise.

Niamh's heart burned with fire, like a furnace that had just been fueled.

The heat wave is uncontrollable.

He roared and swung his obsidian knife. The blade was as sharp as cutting steel, killing the smoky evil spirits.

The evil spirits twisted their bodies and screamed in pain.

Niamh seemed to be possessed. He had completely forgotten his own pain, and the coldness in his blood was melted by Iris's venom.

Once again, he was a warrior of the sun, ready to die a hero.

"Brilliant!"

“Niam, stand up!!”

"The series of twists and turns is so exciting."

“I thought it was going to be a rivalry between Elise and Niamh, but I didn’t expect that they would fight against the dungeon boss together.”

"It's rare to see another side of Iris here."

"In this tense atmosphere, the scene where the two interacted under the moon was so touching. It was a pity for Niamh, as he was scratched by the evil spirit at the beginning."

"Another little cutie who was fascinated by Spider Sister and died for love."

"If it weren't for this accident, he would have died at the hands of Iris."

"Will there be any twists? Will Ramos and the Imperial Bloodline save him? I'm kind of looking forward to it!"

“I saw Iris rushing into the army of evil spirits. Her speed and agility were beyond belief.”

"My vision started to blur and all the colors around me started to fade away."

"Her silhouette becomes more blurred every time I blink."

"In my eyes, she is a slender beauty and an elegant spider."

"I fought with all my might, hoping to show her my bravery and to please her."

""But.""

““There are too many evil spirits.” ““They surged in like a dark tide, drowning me.”

"I can feel that the fiery power in my blood won't last long."

"Every time I am torn by the claws of evil spirits, every time I am touched by the coldness of death, my movements become slower."

"I wanted to let out a furious roar, but my throat seemed to be buried in thick frost and I couldn't make any sound."

"Gradually, the blade in my hand became heavier and heavier, but I held it tightly and would never let go. "

"Suddenly, in a trance."

“I saw Elise surrounded by them, and they used their numbers to pin her to the ground, making her unable to move.”

"She screamed and spit spider silk at them, but it had no effect. "

"Seeing her struggling with the evil spirit, I was extremely worried."

"I searched frantically within myself for the fire she had given me, the power that once burned within me."

“But, I found out.”

"That power has been completely consumed. Not a bit is left."

"I don't want to see her fall in front of me. Her every breath affects my heartbeat, but..."

""Me now.""

"But there is nothing I can do."

"I can't hold on any longer. I feel the vitality in my body rapidly draining away."

"My eyelids feel so heavy."

""Elise, we.""

““We’re all going to die here, right?”

After a fierce battle.

Not surprisingly, they were subdued by the army of evil spirits and dragged in front of the Soul Eater.

The fiery venom flowed through Iris' body. The fire in her body could resist the evil spirit's death touch, but it could not last long.

Niamh knelt in front of the Soul Eater, dying, his soul drained out.

But he still held his obsidian blade tightly, as if he was planning to make one last cut.

The huge ghost stood beside Elise and looked down at her, its beast-like body twisted and exuding a terrible hunger.

It knew she was special, that she was no ordinary mortal.

So, it was going to eat slowly, savoring it carefully, until it had completely drained the life out of her.

It stretched out its sharp claws, trying to grab her and bring her to its mouth.

But just as its claws were about to touch her, it suddenly froze.

It seemed as if there was an invisible force absorbing its energy.

It turned its head blankly and found that the broken hourglass was standing up.

There were long, thin spider silks hanging on it, and dozens of small spiders were working together to lift it up.

The cracks in the hourglass still emitted an eerie light, but it was getting weaker with each passing second.

And along with that, its power is also weakening.

"Go ahead, Niamh!" Iris cried, lying on the ground. "Kill it!"

Niamh raised his head with all his strength when he heard Elise's voice.

Is this her calling?
He breathed heavily, and veins on his arm bulged as he gripped the blade.

With a roar, he used up his last bit of strength to stab the Soul Eater's abdomen. The blow was as powerful as thunder and unstoppable.

In an instant, the Soul Eater suffered heavy damage.

It let out a deafening howl, and the impact of the sound waves shook the high walls of the house, causing them to crack and collapse.

The few remaining pieces of glass on the window panes all exploded, turning into messy fragments that fell to the ground like raindrops.

The Soul Eater struggled to resist, stretching out its claws, trying to tear Iris apart in front of it.

but--

The prison that held it has begun to close.

A powerful force surged out from it, binding it tightly.

Its body was stretched and twisted in the air, and was forcibly dragged back into the hourglass, and the evil spirits enslaved by it were also taken back together.

The cracked hourglass was blocked by a spider web, and the study room instantly became quiet.

Niam's sword fell from his hand, and he fell to his knees, his chest heaving slightly, his eyes wide open, unable to believe that he had survived.

Elise breathed a sigh of relief.

She stood up from the ground, walked to the hourglass, picked it up and looked at it.

She could feel the terrible appetite coming from inside, a brutal force pressing on the surface of the hourglass.

The pressure on the web was so great that the silk threads spun by her little spiders could not last long.

"It must be refilled with a new container."

"Won?"

"I can't believe that even this desperate situation can be turned around?"

“The two of them worked well together.”

"Yes, in the end, it was Niam who severely damaged the Soul Eater and created the opportunity. It's quite good for a mere mortal to achieve this."

"Iris's little spiders also helped a lot. We'll have to give them some extra food when we get back."

"So, a happy ending, both of them survived?"

"That's not right. Isn't it said that if you are hurt by an evil spirit, your soul will gradually die?"

“It seems there will be a sequel.”

"as usual."

"Iris put on a black hat and came to the organization's tomb deep under the city."

"To be honest, she doesn't really like coming so deep underground."

"But she has to be patient."

"because."

"Darkness is the hallmark of the Pale Lady."

"Guided by the mysterious symbols and marks in the secret passage, she met the leader of the organization."

"Did you get the thing?" a voice came from the shadows.

"It's in hand."

Elise responded gracefully, holding up a silk bag.

A pair of pale jade-like hands reached out from the darkness and gently took the bag. "The reward will be delivered to your house as usual."

The voice of the pale lady in the shadows was ancient and elegant, as if from another time.

"Those are the young, silly, pious types, the kind you like best."

"Excellent!"

Iris' eyes flickered, "I just want to replenish my youth."

"You are always so lovely and charming."

The Pale Lady finished speaking before reaching into the silk bag and opening the Soul Eater's glimmering cage.

It was a freshly bleached skeleton, tightly sealed with tough spider webs.

The skull was flawless from every angle, except for a crack in the middle of the upper jaw.

“It smells like a conspiracy.”

After watching this segment, Chen Kaige, who was on the jury, lost his composure.

"The last conversation between the two people is quite meaningful."

"The skeleton is flawless, except for a crack in the middle of the upper jaw. Isn't this Niamh?" Jiang Tao couldn't help but gasp, "He is still dead?"

“Could the container that Elise was talking about be Niamh’s skull?”

"It's terrifying when you think about it." Liu Ciping also showed some shock, "It seems that there is a huge conspiracy hidden in this story."

"what?"

"No way, is it so miserable?"

"In the end, he was killed by Iris."

"Just as the judges said, Su Dada's story seems to contain a lot of secrets."

"Haha, as expected, those who lick dogs will never die a good death."

Just when everyone was talking about it.

The last few lines of text appeared on the big screen.
