  “Fire, fire!”


  The guards behind him immediately pointed their crossbows at the spider, then let their arrows fly. However, the human face spider moved swiftly and had extraordinary sensory abilities. As such, it seemed to detect the movements from the air currents instead of through its vision.

  So, as soon as any arrows were shot, the creature could sense the objects and evade them. At the moment, it was as if the arrows were following behind it. Every time an arrow would land just after the creature had moved to avoid it, and the thuds of the arrows hitting the empty wall reverberated throughout the air.

  Seeing that their arrows were having no effect, the entire squad was retreating backwards, while the human faced spider circled around them. Every time it attacked, at least one of the squad members would be injured. They were like prey, trapped within its web, each of the creature’s steps bringing the squad closer and closer to death!

  All of them knew that they had to take the initiative. One of the Blood Knights, who was guarding Adonis Monar, chose to rush out and stab at the abdomen of the spider.

  As he did so, the spider smiled in a chilling way, as if it had long predicted this very action. It immediately sprayed acid at the incoming guard.

  “Arghhh! My face! My eyes, I can’t see! It hurts!” The guard reeled back in pain, screaming.

  All of them watched, horrified, as his body began to melt into a puddle. Two more knights tried to charge in, but were blocked by the two front limbs of the spider, which were as sturdy as steel. The friction of the collision caused sparks to fly up in the air.

  The spider pushed through with brute force, cornering the two. It then extended two more of its limbs, as it prepared to choke them to death. All of the group stared at the scene in fear, terrified of this monster that made even their knees tremble!

  “Clap, clap, clap!”


  Adonis Monar couldn’t help but applaud, as he saw this giant spider monster. He then sighed.

  “Perfect! This creation is perfection. To think that Li Weisi could create a perfect experiment like this, along with the Owl Knights! As one of the current generation, I feel humbled by his achievements!” exclaimed Adonis Monar.

  He had been analyzing the chimera that his forebears had created. Li Weisi could be counted as a senior mentor of sorts to him, after all. It seemed that his talents were only slightly below his master, Bohr. He had also been a strong contender to succeed rulership over the tower.

  The spider stared at him, as it let out a terrifying howl. Its creepy gaze was locked onto Adonis Monar, who simply grinned back. He then tilted his head to the side and returned an equally disturbing expression to the spider. His dark green eyes began glowing in the dark, as if a green blaze were setting them on fire.

  The rest of the people felt even more terrified now. To them, both of these figured before their eyes seemed like monsters. As the two faced off, it was as if two demons were communicating through some demented exchange.

  A strange power surged in the air. Even the simple act of breathing became significantly more difficult.

  For a split second, the spider had a chill run down its spine. It quickly let the two knights go and backed away. The smile on Adonis Monar’s face widened, as a ray shot out from his eyes and hit the spider.

  “Curse of Death!”


  Instantly, the head of the spider exploded, causing it to lose all of its power. Its heavy carcass fell to the ground, stirring up a huge cloud of dust.

  Adonis Monar turned around and looked at the rest of the group. The green light in his eyes had yet to dissipate. It was enough to send shivers down all of their spines. To them, this strange power was even more sinister than the devils of legends!

  Adonis Monar elected to ignore them at the moment. This strange power was from the bloodline of the ghoul that he had transplanted onto himself. Compared to other legendary creatures, it was stranger and had a more fantastic and sinister power.

  Compared to other magical beasts, which had special abilities that were focused on object manipulation, ghouls had the power to cast curses. The Curse of Death was put on the recipient’s spirit. As soon as the recipient became aware of the curse, it would take effect. Those who could not withstand the curse would die immediately, as their vitals would have been irrevocably damaged.

  This was also a witchcraft that Lu Zhiyu had originally created. After creating the ordinary magical beasts, Lu Zhiyu began to develop his own dream controller template. At the same time, he had developed the dream witchcraft system. In addition to the Hand of the Wizard, Charm, and Illusionary Control, he had created curse witchcraft.

  This kind of witchcraft was an important manifestation of the mind power, which allowed it to interfere with reality. When the curse succeeded, the mind power would interfere with reality and directly cause damage. Thus, the ability of the ghoul was directly derived from Lu Zhiyu’s original dreamcraft research.

  Compared to the other beasts, which derived their abilities from their spellcasting organs, ghouls would cast spells from their blood. Adonis Monar had inherited his teacher’s blood transplantation theory, and after several human experiments, he finally succeeded in transplanting the blood of the ghoul.

  After a large surgery, Adonis Monar replaced all of his blood with the blood of a ghoul. That was why he had appeared in this state, cold to the touch, with no body heat whatsoever, just like a corpse!

  In addition to curses, ghouls possessed a special form of immortality. As such, ghouls’ bodies could not be damaged, as their extraordinary powers stemmed from the blood. None of ghouls’ body parts, including the brain, were vital body parts. So, as long as the brain wasn’t completely decimated, a ghoul would not die.

  Similarly, because ghouls’ powers were derived from their blood, Adonis Monar also discovered their abilities to control corpses. Ghouls could use their blood to resurrect a body.

  However, it could only be the corpse of a lesser existence, since things with a consciousness would collapse under their strong power. As such, things on the same level of existence as Adonis Monar were beyond ghouls’ control.

  After having such success with the ghoul experimentation, Adonis Monar gave birth to a series of ideas via experimentation on dead bodies. The first thing he thought of were the Owl Knights led by Li Weisi, who had mastered the Body Modification Technique and chimera technology.

  The manufacturing and transformation of the Owl Knight group not only sensationalized the entire continent, but it also caused many great repercussions within the Shaman Group. The largest impact was the legendary technique that Li Weisi and the Wizard Alliance had crafted: Mind of the Undead!

  It was for this reason that Adonis Monar had come here to the base of Li Weisi and the Wizard Alliance. He was determined to acquire their experimental records and notes! As long as he could see them, he would be able to complete the witchcraft system that he had been longing to finish.

  Adonis Monar deactivated his cursed eyes, then peered at the group, all of whom were still looking at him with horror, expressionlessly. He wasted no more time, before shouting, “Let’s move on!”
