Chapter 123 [0121] Insect Sea Tactics
Even people who are not afraid of insects will feel their scalps tingling when facing such a large number of spiders.
Even people like Lux, who are used to fighting scarabs, now only feel a tingling sensation on their scalp.
Countless spiders crawled on the ground, their slender and lonely legs scraped across the ground, making a rustling sound - their jaws opened and closed, and the originally inaudible clicking sound became one, making people's joints itch.
Lux was no longer sleepy.
After estimating the number of spiders, she quietly gave up the lightsaber in her hand.
It's not that giving up this fighting method is too "energy-saving". She needs to use a more magic-saving method to fight.
Well, magic saving is also a big part of the simulation training. In the simulation training, Lux almost never has a full state. Every time, she is either inconvenient to move or lacks magic.
This led to Lux often considering spending within her means during the battle, and habitually saving magic power while ensuring the results of the battle.
Now, facing the dense spiders around her, she decisively gave up the high-consumption fighting method of using lightsabers - she clearly remembered that she had done something like "pulling out the lightsaber three feet and running out of mana in one move" in the first lesson simulation training.
That time, she was bitten by the scarab and it hurt a lot.
In this way, in Iris's stunned eyes, Lux dispersed the lightsaber and quickly rushed into an abandoned house nearby.
Seeing this scene, Iris couldn't help but frowned: Is this kid scared silly?
The surroundings are already full of spider webs, what's the point of hiding in such an abandoned house?
However, just as Iris was commanding the spiders to surround her, Lux jumped out extremely quickly - and this time, she had a stick and a pot cover in her hand.
She removed the nearly rusted door frame of the abandoned house, folded it into a stick, held it in her right hand, and then found a pot lid of the right size, holding it in her left hand as if holding a shield.
The next moment, Lux knocked the "shield" with the "sword", making the two nearly rusted "weapons" light up like filaments by magic.
Seeing this scene, Iris blinked her eight eyes a little dully, not knowing what Lux was doing.
So you would rather let me narrow the encirclement than pick up two pieces of junk?
Isn't your lightsaber quite powerful?
But on the other hand, Lux, who got the weapon, felt much more at ease - Karya taught that the consumption of "enchanting" a weapon is much lower than directly using an elemental weapon, and the price is that it is not as light and convenient as a lightsaber.
Considering that her enemy is an endless number of spiders, Lux thinks it is more important to save magic power.
As for whether this sword and shield is too fragile...
Light magic enchantment is not very picky about materials. As long as the enchantment is completed, the strength is always guaranteed before the magic power is exhausted.
Moreover, what has she not used in the simulation training?
All of Karya's courses are in the desert environment, and having an iron bar is already good!
……………………
Although I don't know why Lux has these fancy things, I secretly observed the process of her fighting with Talon. Although Elise said very dirty words, she didn't show any mercy when she attacked.
Elise was extremely concerned about Lux's light magic traps and skilled melee skills. After estimating the enemy's situation, she resolutely did not allow Lux to close the distance.
Just use spiders to consume her!
Before coming to Talon, her pets had just had a full meal, and the number of spiders was quite amazing!
Just like that, with Elise's scream, dense little spiders rushed towards Lux like a tide, while Elise herself - oh, it was the spider - hid behind, commanding while raising her belly and spitting spider webs.
Some of these spider webs were woven into "white channels" for the little spiders to attack Lux, while others were designed to restrict Lux's movements and try to completely restrain her.
Facing the joint attack of Elise and the little spiders, Lux was calm and unhurried.
With the cooperation of sword and shield, plus a wave of magic bursts from time to time, and with the help of Janna to remind her, even if the little spiders were as turbulent as the tide, she could still maintain her safety like a small boat in the waves.
Commanding the spider group, Elise tried many attack directions.
But no matter which angle the spiders attacked from, whether it was drilling holes or hanging silk to rappel, Lux could always find and quickly solve it.
The battle seemed to be in a stalemate.
This time, Iris realized that this little girl was incredibly resilient and impervious to any attack. It would be impossible to capture her with the simplest sea of spiders. In this case, Iris began to consciously mix self-destructing poisonous spiders into the spider swarm.
Unlike the small spiders that besieged Lux, these self-destructing poisonous spiders were not easy to cultivate, and Iris usually had to use them sparingly.
But this time, she planned to be extravagant.
Although she didn't know Lux's identity yet, Iris believed that as long as she captured her and offered her to the Spider God, she would definitely receive a reward from the Despicable Throat!
This kind of young and promising girl, He will definitely like it!
The joining of the self-destructing spiders in the siege finally made Lux feel a bit of trouble - these spiders looked no different from other spiders before they self-destructed, but as long as they got close to her, they would quickly expand and explode, and the splashing body fluids were extremely corrosive, and even other spiders could not bear it.
Caught off guard, two self-destructing poisonous spiders exploded not far in front of Lux. Even though Lux raised her shield at the first time, the strong light from the pot cover blocked her face and blocked most of the venom, but her coat was quickly destroyed by the amazing corrosion.
With the hissing sound of the highly toxic corrosive coat, Iris immediately restored her human form.
However, just as she raised her hand and shot a shadow energy, wanting to wrap Lux in the spider silk and keep it well, Lux waved the weapon in her right hand and accurately hit the spider silk wrapped in shadow energy.
With a flash of light, the spider silk was cut in two by a sword.
Elise's eyes widened in disbelief - the venom of the self-destructing poisonous spider has already touched her body, and she should have lost her resistance now!
You know, Elise's venom is not just a neurotoxin.
This venom is a talent given to her by the Despicable Throat. It is a mixture of shadow poison and neurotoxin. Even if it just touches the target, it is enough to be fatal!
Elise turned back into a human form and threw spider silk to control the target and catch it alive - if the toxin was allowed to corrode, Elise would not get a living prey!
And Lux was obviously touched by the venom, but not only was she not poisoned, but she still had the strength to fight back, which undoubtedly greatly exceeded Elise's expectations.
The next moment, as the light shield in Lux's hand burst out with a burst of strong light again, sweeping away the little spiders who tried to take the opportunity to approach her, Elise finally found the problem.
She saw a layer of metallic matte that belonged to rune steel under Lux's damaged coat.
Rune steel? !
Why would there be rune steel armor in a place like Zaun? !
Moreover, judging from the fit of this armor... it is a special style tailored to her body - if it was standard armor, even if it was worn under a coat, Elise would not have missed it at the first time!
Something seems to be wrong.
Could it be that this little girl is Demacia?
No, it's impossible.
How can Demacians have mages - and judging from the swordsmanship she just used, it is obviously not Demacia's routine.
Elise is also an old monster. Although she doesn't use a sword, she at least knows what's good. Lux's swordsmanship is obviously more similar to that of Shurimans.
In addition to her skillful use of magic...
Definitely not Demacia!
But if she is not Demacia, then what's the matter with this rune steel armor?
There are not many rune steel armors smuggled out of Demacia, let alone this kind of completely close-fitting one!
At this moment, Elise's head is full of question marks.
However, despite her doubts, she did not hesitate in her movements - the attack of the self-explosive poisonous spider mixed with ordinary spiders is effective. Since it is effective, let's continue!
Whether you are Demacian or Shurima, as long as I take you down, I have plenty of time to slowly understand your true colors!
……………………
Lux appears to be in good order, but the actual situation is not optimistic.
This spider woman is much more difficult than she imagined - after seeing Elise transform, she was still waiting for her to come over.
As long as Elise dares to come over, Lux will be sure to use the trick she used to deal with Mr. Shadow, so that the long sword in her hand, which suddenly increased in length, can give her a hard blow.
But... Elise has turned into a spider, and she is still directing OB from behind!
After several estimates, Lux could not guarantee whether her full-strength attack could hit directly. In this case, she could only defend herself first.
As a result, while defending, the opponent began to mix explosive spiders with ordinary spiders without martial ethics...
How can we fight this!
During the simulation training, Lux had dealt with scarabs, snakes, and even wyverns—but there were too many spiders, and there were a few self-destructive poisonous spiders among them, so she could only be described as impossible to defend against.
Moreover, her concentration was also declining at a visible speed. After not getting a good rest for a long time, she could still fight, but her reaction and magic control were no longer as good as before.
The rune steel armor began to become heavy and soft after absorbing the power of shadow magic several times...
It is no exaggeration to say that Lux's agility, defense, and attack are all declining!
If this continues, it won't be long before she will be completely overwhelmed by spiders!
At this moment, Janna, who had left this place and passed the message, returned to Lux and hovered to remind her to leave.
However, facing the still surging sea of spiders, Lux shook her head gently.
Karya's small class: Different venom:
Normal spider venom is mainly necrotic toxin, but Iris's toxin is neurotoxin - this is very un-spider-like.
