This knight is too perfect

Chapter 84: Kill the Stone Spider, Increase the Essence [ words]

boom!
Rhine pulled the trigger of the Silver Reaper in his hand.

A flintlock bullet with the Beyonder characteristic Element (Fire).

Immediately, it dragged a long tail flame like a meteor and hit the stone spider directly in the mouth.

The flames produced by the explosion instantly covered the stone spider's head.

However, there was no joy in Rhine's eyes, but rather an extremely serious look.

Because of 'Knight's Protection of Mercy (Hearing All Things)'.

Rhine knew clearly that his fire bomb did not cause much damage to the stone spider.

Because he did not hear the Stone Spider's fear and pain, only anger.

As the flames faded, Rhine immediately understood the reason.

It turned out that the flame bomb was about to hit the stone spider.

That guy shut his mouth first.

So this explosion had some impact.

But this impact is nothing compared to the stone spider's hard body and huge size.

After understanding this, Rhine skillfully pulled out a bullet from his arms and quickly loaded it into the Silver Reaper in his hand.

Almost as soon as Rhine finished reloading, a sound of breaking air suddenly came towards him.

Fortunately, Rhine seemed to have prepared in advance.

Because at the same time as the sound of breaking air appeared, Rhine retreated suddenly and raised his hand to shoot again.

boom!
The attacking black shadow was none other than one of the legs of the black spider.

However, the spider leg did not hit Rhine, but fell on the open space in front of him.

Its powerful force not only caused countless cracks to appear on the ground on the spot.

Even the underground passage in front of me began to shake.

And it kicked up a lot of dust and debris.

This shows how exaggerated the power of the stone spider is.

And in this smoke and dust.

A flash of fire appeared again.

I saw a new flame bullet breaking through the smoke and dust, and quickly passed over the spider leg of the stone spider that fell in front of Rhine.

Shoot towards the stone spider's face again.

In response, the Stone Spider chose to raise its two spider legs and place them horizontally in front of itself to block the flaming bullet.

boom!
After the explosion, the stone spider immediately looked forward angrily.

I saw that the little bug that attacked me twice in a row started to run quickly towards another passage.

Feeling the vibration on his face and his own desire for flesh and blood.

The stone spider rushed towards the direction Rhine was escaping without hesitation.

It doesn't allow the prey in its mouth to escape!
Boom boom boom!
The stone spider's huge body, as heavy as a truck, started to move.

The entire channel began to vibrate continuously.

In addition to having amazing strength and weight.

The stone spider's movement speed is not slow at all.

This scene is not scientific, but it is extraordinary.

'It has a hard body, great strength, and is not particularly slow. This thing is a natural guard. It's very difficult to deal with.'

In the passage, Rhine ran quickly while thinking about the characteristics of the stone spider.

In fact, for bronze-level extraordinary people, there are many ways to deal with stone spiders.

For example, Rhine was in the "Encyclopedia of Extraordinary Creatures" that Lilitha had once asked him to read.

There are several good methods that can be used to deal with stone spiders.

The most convenient and effective one.

Is to create a lot of noise.

As we all know, spiders don't have ears.

Their primary way of sensing prey.

It senses the location of its prey by sensing the vibrations on the spider web.

The same applies to Stone Spider.

It’s just that there are certain differences between it as an extraordinary spider and an ordinary spider in this respect.

That is, the 'spider web' it uses to sense prey is not a normal spider web.

It’s a special and extraordinary venue.

At this moment, the special stone surface patterns that are like decorations spread all over the walls on all four sides of the passage are the "spider webs" of stone spiders.

As long as prey touches the lines on the stone surface and makes some noise.

Even if the movement is subtle.

Stone spiders can sense and find the location of their prey immediately.

Therefore, the first thing to do to defeat the stone spider is to find a way to break this invisible spider web.

To achieve this, the best way is undoubtedly to run directly out of the range of the spider web.

Unfortunately, Rhine cannot do this for the time being.

Because the place where he is now is the stronghold that the Eight Eyes has set up in Adrian for decades.

This stronghold has been transformed by them into an enormous spider's nest.

Everywhere you look, you can see stone surfaces covered with mysterious patterns.

It can be said that unless Rhine leaves this underground space.

Otherwise, the option of escaping from the 'spider web' is almost non-existent.

However, there are other ways to completely avoid the spider's web.

"dumb!"

As a sudden crow's cry sounded in the passage, a hint of surprise flashed in Rhine's eyes.

'Finally, we found the right venue.'

Without any hesitation, Rhine immediately followed the information conveyed by Shadow Crow.

He changed direction and ran towards a passage on the left.

The stone spider sensed the change in the direction of its prey's escape.

He followed without hesitation.

Soon, they arrived at a relatively spacious underground space one after another.

I saw that this was a warehouse in the basement of the Eight-Eyed Antique Shop.

There are not only a large number of clothes in the warehouse, but also a large number of daily necessities such as pots, pans, and utensils.

What’s strange is that the stone spider stopped immediately after entering the warehouse.

Its body was half upright, and it kept looking around.

As if looking for something.

But no matter how hard it searched, it could not sense the existence of its 'prey' at this moment.

It was as if the prey disappeared instantly after entering this space.

But the stone spider was very sure that the prey must still be here.

Because the last sensation it received from the 'spider web' was at this location.

And seeing Stone Spider's confused look.

Rhine, who was standing next to a shelf less than ten meters away from it, immediately showed an expression of "as expected".

"Sure enough, as long as I try not to touch the spider silk, it will be difficult for this thing to detect my whereabouts."

Rhine lowered his head and looked at his feet.

At this moment, Rhine was standing in the gap between two 'lines' of floor tiles.

It was stuck in the gap of the spider web, a position that could not be explored.

There is no doubt that Rhine discovered the stone spider's special "web" a long time ago.

In fact, from a purely theoretical point of view, as long as Rhine can keep walking in these gaps.

Then he could continue to get closer to the stone spider without being sensed by it.

But theory is theory.

The thing is that it is often not easy to turn theory into reality.

The cracks in the lines under the Rhine are large and small, dense and sparse.

Even in a safe environment, it is not easy for a normal person to make sure that every step he takes is accurately placed in these gaps.

Not to mention in the heat of battle.

And it’s not enough to just do this.

Because stone spiders mainly rely on the vibration of their webs to sense their prey.

But it doesn’t mean that this is the only way.

You should know that the eight eyeballs on the stone spider's body are not just for decoration.

Although its eyesight is not good, it is not to the extent that it cannot distinguish between humans and animals at a distance of ten meters.

Therefore, if Rhine wants to get close to it, he needs some other means.

For example, blinding its eyes.

Or it enters its blind spot.

Rhine tried the former but failed.

The latter is what Rhine is doing now.

In fact, I want to get rid of the stone spider completely.

Rhine has a simplest and most effective method.

That's the dragon's roar.

But Rhine would never dare to use the Dragon Roar in such an underground environment.

Because if you're not careful, the dragon's roar can directly kill the huge stone spider.

However, the underground space affected by the dragon's roar is also likely to collapse as a result.

Rhine naturally knew how dangerous the collapsed passage was.

Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, Rhine will never use Dragon Roar in an underground environment.

This is also the reason why Rhine went to great lengths to bring the stone spider into this warehouse.

Because this is all Rhine can think of without using the Dragon Roar.

The most likely way to defeat the Stone Spider.

And as long as the space is large enough, the destructive power of the dragon roar on the underground space will be reduced to the greatest extent, avoiding the risk of landslide.

It can be said that the moment Rhine encountered the stone spider, he had already begun to calculate how to defeat this powerful extraordinary monster with the least risk.

Inside the warehouse, Stone Spider and Rhine fell into an eerie silence.

As a result, Rhine could not hear any other sound except his own heartbeat.

Time has completely come to a standstill for them.

However, this stagnation did not last long.

The silence was broken by the low cry of a crow.

"dumb!"

Hearing the noise, the stone spider, which had been quiet all the time, suddenly moved.

It suddenly raised one of its spider legs and smashed it towards the Shadow Crow.

This blow not only failed to hit the agile Shadow Crow.

It also smashed down the shelves used to store goods under the Shadow Crow.

And when the pots and pans on the shelves fell to the ground, crackling sounds began to echo throughout the underground space.

These movements are undoubtedly very disruptive to the stone spider.

Because too many "vibrations" appeared at the same time, it was impossible to rely on "vibration sensing" to determine which of these vibrations were caused by dead objects and which were caused by living things.

But even without the senses, the stone spider still has eyes.

Its eyes were fixed on the Shadow Crow flying in the air.

And began to try to knock this annoying thing down from the sky.

During this process, more debris was knocked down by the stone spider, further affecting its judgment of the surroundings.

And just when the Stone Spider was concentrating on dealing with the Shadow Crow.

A figure was approaching it silently.

Rhine was seen approaching the stone spider and strangely was not discovered by the other party.

What’s strange is that Rhine was not hurt by the stone spider along the way.

But some blood was already flowing from his nose, as if he was injured.

This has nothing to do with the Stone Spider, but is the result of Rhine's own brain operating at high load.

"Eight meters, seven meters..."

While calculating the distance between himself and the stone spider, Rhine tightened the sword in his hand.

At this moment, in Rhine's eyes, the originally complex warehouse environment had been completely memorized by him.

And it turned into a three-dimensional "three-dimensional projection picture" and reflected in his mind.

Why did Rhine have to lead the Stone Spider to this warehouse?

Why do you think this place is the best for him?
This is not just because this is a place where he can use Dragon Roar in relative safety.

It's not just because the debris here can affect the stone spider's perception to a certain extent.

The bigger reason is that Rhine had explored this place in advance with the Shadow Crow.

He memorized every place perfectly, even every space in the cracks of the stone slabs, to ensure that he could get close to the opponent and deliver a fatal blow without alerting the stone spider.

These reasons combined are the reason why Rhine chose this place.

To accomplish all of this, the brain computing power required is undoubtedly astonishing.

If you step into the Rhine before the extraordinary, even if there is the existence of "Knight's Protection - Humility (Absolute Concentration)".

He couldn't do anything so amazing.

But as Rhine entered the extraordinary realm, his life level was elevated.

The effects of his protection gradually became exaggerated.

After all, protection is never a fixed value.

As long as Rhine's strength continues to improve.

Then these knight protections that are like talents can be improved accordingly.

Under the effect of many blessings, the stone spider had no idea that it, once a hunter, had now become a prey and stepped into the trap set for it by Rhine.

Inside the warehouse, when Rhine approached the stone spider to a distance of about five meters from its side.

He immediately used his full strength to perform the 'Morning Star Breathing Technique'.

Rhine's breathing suddenly became strange, and his body temperature rose rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Immediately afterwards, Rhine's explosive power was increased to an incredibly astonishing level at this moment.

boom!
In the darkness, Lai Ying's figure turned into a shadow and leaped to the top of the stone spider.

At this moment, the stone spider, hearing the noise, immediately looked in the direction of Rhine.

What caught its eye was a silver-white flintlock rifle and its glowing red barrel.

Dual extraordinary characteristics: Holy Flame Bomb!

As Rhine transformed his own destiny essence into elemental essence (fire), he injected it into the silver death in his hand.

An extraordinary bullet that already contained the properties of holy light was immediately given a new layer of fire properties.

With the blessing of the dual extraordinary characteristics of 'holy light' and 'flame'.

The bullet fired by the Silver Reaper this time exploded with incredibly astonishing power.

The bullet emitting white light turned into a dazzling white meteor.

It hit the stone spider's head hard, before it had time to react.

"Roar!"

The severe pain and explosion caused the Stone Spider to scream, and his body immediately lost balance, shaking and staggering.

Because of the flintlock's unique explosive ejection mechanism.

This often results in strong recoil when firing.

This recoil becomes particularly obvious when firing bullets with dual extraordinary characteristics.

In mid-air, driven by the powerful recoil, Rhine's body flew backwards directly towards the ceiling diagonally above his head.

However, while flying backwards, Rhine put away the Silver Death and twisted his body.

And finally let his feet land on the ceiling first.

Without any pause, Rhine stepped on the ceiling with both feet and exerted force suddenly.

With this force and the amazing falling speed.

Rhine instantly reached above the stone spider's head while it was staggering due to the explosion, and raised the Sword in the Stone in his hand.

The first judgment, the blade of judgment.

Rhine grasped the Sword in the Stone with both hands and thrust the sword, which was shining brightly, into the stone spider's head.

Pfft!

Although the stone spider's body is hard, the location of its eyes on its head is the only weak point in its entire body.

The Sword in the Stone was as easy as cutting tofu. It easily penetrated the Stone Spider's eyeball and dealt a fatal blow.

When the Sword in the Stone had been completely embedded in the Stone Spider's body, with only the hilt exposed.

Rhine did not fight to the end.

He decisively let go of the Sword in the Stone and jumped away from the stone spider's body.

He was first hit by Rhine's Holy Flame Bullet, and then hit in the vitals by the Judgment Blade of the Excalibur.

These two consecutive fatal attacks immediately drove the Stone Spider completely crazy.

It struggled like crazy, and its body kept hitting the surrounding walls as if it had lost control.

Although the stone spider is still full of "energy" at this time.

But Rhine knew very well that the battle had almost been decided at this point.

As expected, Stone Spider's struggle did not last long.

After hitting the wall next to it again.

The stone spider's huge body finally stopped, and it fell to the ground against the wall while twitching continuously.

Snapped!
As the stone spider's body stopped, cracks began to appear on its body.

These cracks were centered on the spot where the Sword in the Stone pierced its head and spread all the way to the stone spider's entire body.

And finally the stone spider's body shattered.

boom!
When countless pieces of rubble fell to the ground, Rhine stepped on a piece of broken stone and picked up the sword in the stone that was in the pile of stones.

Looking at the sword in the stone shining with cold light in his hand, Rhine immediately felt its change.

Needless to say, this must be because the Sword in the Stone devoured part of the source essence in the Stone Spider's body.

The quality has been improved to a certain extent.

If we consider '30 points of main source quality' as the limit of black iron.

The Sword in the Stone should have reached about 15 points of Essence at this moment.

But the benefits that killing the stone spider brings to Rhine are not limited to this.

As the stone spider's body was completely shattered, gray energy gathered directly into the witch ring on Rhine's left hand.

And it quickly fed back 3 points of destiny essence to Rhine.

【Name: Rhine】

[Extraordinary Occupation: Fate Knight (Shadow Raven Knight)]

[Extraordinary Rank: Black Iron]

[Destiny Source (Primary): 18.5/18.5]

[Netherworld Essence (Secondary): 8/8]

Although it was a monster comparable to a Bronze Extraordinary, it ultimately only provided him with a 3-point limit on the Source of Destiny.

But Rhine knew this because the stone spider was not an extraordinary creature on the side of fate.

The second reason is that these destiny essences are the result of purification by the witch's ring.

After resting for a while, Rhine immediately looked at another remnant among the stone spider's corpses.

A strange gem that emits a dark glow.

Although Rhine was curious about the orb, he remained restrained in the face of the unknown.

Rhine did not touch the strange black gem easily, but took out the special wooden box originally used to hold the Silver Grim Reaper from his arms.

Then, Rhine put on gloves that could isolate the influence of the source material to a certain extent, picked up the black gem, and put it in the wooden box.

【Name：Oak Wooden Box】

[Level: Bronze]

[Effect: Can limit the loss of essence in the wooden box and its impact on the outside world to the greatest extent]

[Description: An expensive but not rare storage box. Its only feature is that its surface decoration is rather gorgeous.]

After collecting the spoils and cleaning up the mess, Rhine immediately closed his eyes and sensed the images coming from the other Shadow Crows.

Not long after, when Rhine opened his eyes again, he stood up and walked towards a certain direction in the passage...
