Wizard, I Have Another World

Chapter 37 Spider

Under the cover of night, two figures rushed into the alley, followed by a series of clanging sounds.

"Jingle bells..."

"puff!"

Diana stood there, holding a soft sword, her face cold and solemn, a trickle of blood slowly sliding down the blade to the ground.

She stared at the figure ahead, her voice icy:

"So you're the ones stealing other people's life force to concoct potions, then selling them at exorbitant prices to the city's wealthy ladies?"

During this time, she had been investigating the "vampire mummies case." Although she did not receive support from her colleagues, through her tireless investigation, she discovered that the one who stole life force was not a single person, but an organized and premeditated gang.

They disguise themselves as 'vampires,' kill to steal life force, and then concoct a pure potion that can make people ageless or even regain their youth.

In turn, they can earn substantial profits.

Today, she finally got news that someone was going to secretly trade potions here, but she almost lost track of her target because she didn't have opera tickets.

Fortunately,

In the end, they narrowly escaped danger and finally caught the other party.

"Ugh..." The figure clutched his injured arm, his face pale.

"I don't know what you're talking about!"

"Don't know?" Diana scoffed.

"You won't tell, huh? I have plenty of ways to make you say it."

Before the words had even faded, she had already charged forward with her sword.

Having honed her body over the years, Diana charged forward with the agility of a female leopard, her soft sword like the fangs of her prey, making her attacks exceptionally fierce.

Swords flashed across the field, forcing the opponent to retreat and dodge frantically, yet blood still splattered from his body from time to time.

When the two fought, the difference in strength was obvious.

"Whoosh!"

Just as she was about to defeat her opponent, two arc-shaped beams of light suddenly appeared, twisting towards Diana's waist and abdomen.

"bite……"

Diana swung her sword to intercept, then swiftly retreated, a look of surprise and doubt on her face:

"What is this?"

"Hehe..." The figure lowered its head and chuckled softly.

He then ripped his coat apart with both hands, revealing the horrifying scene below.

But then they saw a shadow swaying behind this person, revealing that he had two extra pairs of arms, six arms outstretched, making him look as eerie and unsettling as a humanoid spider.

With six arms, each wielding a dagger, it is not only eerie but also dangerous.

"monster!"

Diana's face paled, and she instinctively took a step back, as an ancient rumor surfaced in her mind:

"You are a follower of Elise!"

"How dare you!" Upon hearing the name "Iris," the monster suddenly flew into a rage, his eyes instantly turning bloodshot, and the surging anger directly destroyed his reason:

"How dare you blaspheme the gods! You deserve to die!"

"Whoosh!"

With its furious roar, six cold beams shot towards Diana with the speed of a torrential downpour.

However, it comes quickly and goes quickly.

A top-tier knight's squire possesses power comparable to a ferocious beast, and Diana, at her full strength, is even more terrifying.

The six-armed monster was bizarre and terrifying, but its strength was only that of an ordinary knight's squire. The two extra pairs of arms were a bit troublesome to deal with, but they were far from bridging the gap between the two sides.

"That's all there is to it."

After defeating her opponent, Diana felt a sense of relief.

"It seems the Spider Goddess hasn't bestowed any blessings upon you."

Elise, the Spider Goddess, is a legendary evil god and monster who attempted to steal the power of the true gods but was cursed. She is said to have the body of a spider and the head of a human.

Descriptions of Him often portray Him as cruel and bloodthirsty, with a particular fondness for taking the life force of others.

"hey-hey……"

The monster slowly rose from the ground, looked up, and grinned.

"I can't do it alone, but... what if we add them in?"

sound off.

Diana's expression changed drastically.

"Whoosh!"

"Swish!"

Three figures descended from the heights one after another, surrounding Diana.

Each of them has two arms growing from its back, with six hands pressing against the ground, hissing like spiders, and spraying out strands of spider silk as its abdomen rises and falls.

Spider silk wove into a web, instantly covering the entire alleyway.

Got it!

Diana tightened her grip.

"Make way!"

"Excuse me, could you please move aside?"

"..."

Stepping out of the opera house, the area in front of the entrance was still crowded with people.

Carl lightly slammed his cane down and charged straight at the enemy, using sheer force to carve out a path through them.

Leaving the crowd, he straightened his somewhat sharp clothes, but instead of leaving, he went straight to the back door of the theater.

"squeak……"

Shortly after, the back door opened, and Jenny, who hadn't yet removed her makeup or changed out of her performance clothes, came out.

The two agreed to meet here after the concert.

"Karl".

Jenny smiled sweetly at Carl and spoke in a clear voice:

I saw you on stage.

"Well done," Carl commented.

"I think your voice is more beautiful than the lead singer's. If I were to choose, I would definitely choose you as the lead singer."

"Don't joke around." Jenny shook her head with a smile.

"You don't know, I was so scared that my legs almost gave way. I'm just grateful that I managed to hold on."

"I'm stating the facts," Carl extended the invitation.

"Want to go back together?"

"This..." Jenny looked back, her face showing hesitation.

The choir is having a party later, but you can decline if you can spend time alone with the Baron.

Before Jenny could answer, Carl continued, "Perfect timing, I found a place today and I'll be moving there in the next few days."

"Being able to see you perform on a formal stage before I leave is enough to put my mind at ease."

"You're leaving?" Jenny's face paled.

Why?

"Is there something wrong with our place? Tell us and we can change it. We can also discuss the rent."

"No." Karl waved his hand.

"I just want to go somewhere else."

"..." Jenny's expression froze, her lips trembling:

"Yeah?"

"It's been a pleasure living with you all; these days will be cherished memories for me," Carl said with a smile.

"But people always have to part ways. As the proverb says, the only constant in life is change. Once I've finished tidying up my new house, you're all welcome to come and visit."

"...Okay." Jenny clenched her hands, lowered her head, and said in a low, muffled voice:

"The band has a gathering later, so I won't go with you. Be careful on the road..."

"A party?" Carl nodded.

"Alright, have a great party, I'll be going now."

He bowed slightly in greeting, then turned and left.

Jenny watched Carl's figure disappear into the darkness until it was completely out of sight before collapsing to the ground, tears silently streaming down her face.

"Jenny."

Pesci from the choir appeared behind them at some point, and upon seeing this, sighed softly:

"We will meet many people in our lives, but only God and our loved ones can accompany us through life. Even our parents and children will leave us."

And said:

"Separation is the norm."

"Waaah..." Jenny sobbed softly.

She understood this, but the thought that Carl would disappear from her life and never appear again made her feel incredibly sad, heartbroken.

"Don't cry." Pesci stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder.

"I have good news for you. Your performance today attracted a big shot, which might lead to an even better opportunity."

…………

Carl was perfectly aware of Jenny's feelings.

However, he did not intend to take their relationship any further, so he decided to break it off while there was still time and put an end to his feelings.

Besides wanting a more spacious place, this was also one of the reasons for moving.

"Um?"

As they walked through a small alley, Karl's expression shifted slightly, and he subconsciously stopped.

He then turned and walked into the dark alley.

"clatter……"

"never mind!"

Karl shook his head at the alley entrance and stopped in his tracks.

Although Signoria is much safer than Black City, it is still home to terrorist organizations like the Fire Stealers, so absolute safety cannot be guaranteed.

The less trouble, the better.

With that thought in mind, he turned to leave.

"Whoosh!"

suddenly.

A cold glint flashed by.

Karl instinctively ducked to avoid the incoming dagger, only to see a dark figure pounce right behind him.

"What is it?"
