The endless snowfield trembled slightly, and one spider leg after another emerged from under the snow.

Some of them had blurred, overlapping forms, as if existing in multiple worlds simultaneously. Some had exoskeletons as strong as plate armor, their eight legs sharp as blades.

Each one of them is bigger than the other. They are more like eight-legged beasts than spiders.

The goddess of spiders can naturally call upon the strongest hunting spiders and web-spinning spiders in the kingdom at any time and anywhere.

However, she seemed to be calling all the spiders in Faerun and had no intention of stopping.

The sky is extremely dark, and the earth is extremely white.

But at Rose's call, the snow turned into tough spider silk, and the silent rocks became trembling legs. In the dim moonlit night, what dispelled the darkness was the endless, overlapping compound eyes.

Each spider was a local nuisance, and a swarm of them was enough to strike fear into the hearts of nations. Yet, now, this behemoth seemed like a common soldier, surging across the snowy plains like a tidal wave.

They were already not far away from Rose, but now they seemed so far away.

The biggest problem was that there were simply too many of them! There was no way this team could kill Rose while being blocked by hundreds of high-level spiders!

Pitch-black shadow blades and moon blades flew up and down amidst the spiders' siege. The sword spiders' sturdy exoskeletons finally met their match. Even the strongest exoskeletons were useless against the shadow blades. The three sword spiders were cleaved in two almost the instant they approached Drizzt. Suddenly, a brilliant light shone from the moon blades, and Xing Yong's figure appeared almost instantly beside the dozens of phase spiders.

Light blades flew, and dozens of spiders were cut in two almost instantly, falling to the ground in dejection.

"Ha, wasting my time."

And Rose just smiled.

The two were only delayed for a moment before another large group of spiders crawled onto the surface, filling up the passage they had just opened.

It’s endless!

What’s even worse is that even if they wanted to escape, it was already too late.

Xingyong turned her head subconsciously.

Behind her, the armless Elastrid was chanting the Holy Word, killing all the approaching spiders with the Holy Word of unparalleled power.

However, the number is simply too much.

No matter how many spiders Alestria killed in the previous round of chanting, new spiders would always come one after another, blocking all possible advancement of the remaining people.

Challenging the incarnation of God in a skirmish was ultimately too difficult.

"Do you understand, Trist?" Rose had completely relaxed at this moment.

Now, if those spellcasters dared to distract themselves and attack her, they would be torn into pieces by the spiders. She finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She said, "—As long as I want to catch you back, no matter how hard you try, the result will be the same. And today is the end of our long run."

At this moment, a faint flute sound rang out amid the whistling cold wind and the rustling of spiders.

Its sound is clear but carries the sadness of the performer. The performer is clearly approaching the battlefield, but the sound remains unchanged, still clear and touching.

The originally bloodthirsty and crazy spider group began to tremble for some reason, and countless pairs of compound eyes looked around in the darkness, as if they were ready to escape from the battlefield at any time.

Elastrid was somewhat bewildered and said uncertainly, "...It seems to be a very popular tune among the elves? It must have been around for a very long time."

The question is, what kind of person can play such an elegant and clear tune that also contains such unparalleled power?

The figure of the person coming became clearer and clearer, and the Moon Blade in Xingyong's hand, the double swords in Trist's hands, and the armor on the adventurers' team almost all emitted a faint glow at the same time.

It was a creature so handsome that it was difficult to tell its gender, elegant yet strong, wise yet brave.

The mortals, even Drizzt, were unable to realize at first why such an elf would appear on the battlefield at this moment, and why he had such great power that he could easily eliminate the Spider Queen's attack.

As for Elastrid, there was only shock in her eyes.

She knew him, but she couldn't believe that he would appear here.

"......!" The first moment she saw him, Rose almost instinctively looked around, trying to leave this extremely dangerous place, but then, endless anger instantly burst out from under her chest.

Tens of thousands of years of resentment and malice turned into the most extreme crazy words at this moment.

"Corellon!!!!"

As if in response to her roar, countless bolts of lightning descended from the sky, lighting up the entire sky.

He said calmly, "As long as I want to take you back, no matter how hard you try, the result will be the same."

One Hundred and Seven Godkillers

While all parties were fighting fiercely, Emilia rarely left the center of the battlefield.

The magic network was faithfully mapping the surging tide of magic around Black Arrow Castle to Emiya's eyes.

Black Arrow Castle has become a playground for the gods to vent their power, and everything that comes into contact with steel and elements is crushed to ashes.

Initially, Gruumsh pretended to be a pure warrior. The orcish pantheon used to be weak in even divine magic, relying almost entirely on the most powerful force. Consequently, the Church of Gruumsh was so insignificant that it lacked even a few qualified priests.

And now, Gruumsh has revealed abilities that are not his at all.

"Pah!" Emilia was distracted for a moment, and snowflakes, almost as thick as fingers, had already covered his hair. Before he knew it, his feet were half buried by the howling blizzard.

He had only been here a few minutes.

This is extremely abnormal. Black Arrow Castle is backed by the Spine of the World, facing north and south. Most of the coldest north wind is blocked by this towering ridge.

Not long ago, a howling storm almost appeared out of nowhere and covered the area around Black Arrow Castle. The wind direction was even more chaotic. The only thing that remained unchanged was the cold and chilly atmosphere.

Emiya was now certain: Gruumsh had definitely encountered something, perhaps even an opportunity, recently. This was also a major reason why the Orc pantheon decided to participate in this bloodiest of battles.

And the sea of ​​thunder that suddenly erupted in Black Arrow Castle at this moment was enough to put an end to this speculation.

The orcish pantheon and the fury pantheon have merged in such a way that Gruumsh can now even call upon the powers of Talos and Auril.

This power is far beyond the imagination of mortals, but the fact that it can be summoned by Gruumsh effortlessly at this moment is the most solid proof.

Silver's blood, her magic web is stirring within Emilia's body—

She didn't have an easy fight.

Even though she was the real body and Gruumsh was using the avatar, in order to avoid being seriously injured and dying in an instant, the magic network was already roaring wildly.

If she still had some offensive power when Gruumsh was only using his physical body, then when Gruumsh started to use his thunderbolts, she instantly fell into a complete disadvantage, practically being chased everywhere and no longer had the strength to fight back.

At the same time, Emilia was certain of one thing: she might not lose, but she would definitely not win.

He is the only one responsible for winning.

"It really gives me a hard time."

He muttered under his breath.

The weapon is in hand. The black arrow is Gruumsh's weapon, but it also contains the blood of Corellon. The body of the god is strong, but not indestructible.

If you want to kill with one blow, conventional means are absolutely ineffective.

The best way is to use Black Arrow.

Use some method to launch the black arrow.

Use the most extreme speed, a speed even beyond that of a god, to instantly destroy Geumsh with a black arrow.

If he had such means, he would have used it long ago, and even the Triangle Alliance would have launched a full-scale counterattack long ago.

The question now is not how he can do it, but whether he must do it.

Emilia panted and untied the dimensional hole on his waist. He brought countless materials with him. If he had the possibility to achieve this great feat, he must be hiding among these materials.

Where could one find such a rapid burst of energy? Elemental amber? That might be possible, but the artillery's aim was still too much of a gamble. Without calibration, Emiya simply didn't have the confidence to hit the enemy on the first shot.

Moreover, he had never fired a cannonball the size of the Black Arrow before! The Black Arrow was nearly a hundred times the size of the largest cannonball before! He had no experience designing parameters at this level.

Soon, the final answer surfaced.

No, it can even be said that the predecessors of Zhongjian have already given the answer.

Giant bow, or ballista

This weapon, which is relatively outdated, has become a real possibility at this moment.

"...Your Majesty Corellon, considering my target is the one-eyed orc, please use your divine power to guide me... Silver, I also pray to you, please don't act out of temper at this time. Goddess of Luck Tymora, may you guide my crossbow bolt to hit my enemy."

At this time, no matter what method is used, we can only rely on faith and piety in every sense.

A bow in the traditional sense is impossible, and even if it were made, Emilia wouldn't be able to pull it.

However, he did have some experience in making crossbows.

Coincidentally, he had the most suitable materials for making a crossbow.

Coral steel, magically transformed from coral and sapphire, is the strongest of the five materials, but is too heavy to be used as armor. After all, it was originally used by sea elves who dwell in the ocean.

And now, Emilia has to use it for some unorthodox purposes.

Deep blue coral steel, like the sea, slowly flowed out from the dimensional hole as Emilia chanted.

In front of Emilia, a giant crossbow was slowly taking shape.

He had already confirmed the existence of the crossbows left behind by the previous orc king. While that crossbow was powerful enough to launch the black arrow, its speed was definitely insufficient. Obould had been able to hit the enemy by almost sneaking up on them.

Now, although Emilia also wanted to launch a sneak attack, she had to use absolute speed to accelerate the huge black arrow to a point where even a powerful god could not react in time.

Emilia murmured, "The bow limbs must be thickened."

The entire power of the crossbow comes from the immense energy stored in the curved bow limbs. The tougher and more difficult to bend the material, the more suitable it is for the bow limbs.

King Halrua stretched out his hand slightly, and a terrifying bow arm that was a full meter thick appeared in front of him.

And this bow arm is dozens of meters long.

Rather than saying it was the bow arm of a crossbow, it would be more like Emilia was trying to turn the wide gate of an entire city into a crossbow.

This is a crazy and unprecedented move. No material has ever had such properties before. Even the toughest material will break instantly when bent.

Even at this time, Emilia had no confidence in coral steel at all.

However, Gruumsh didn't seem to be planning to give him much time.

Yin's unusually rapid voice traveled through the magic web into his mind, and at the same time, brilliant lightning roared once more within Black Arrow Castle. "If you don't hurry up, I won't be able to escape the battlefield unscathed!"

Countless lightning pillars descended into the castle at the same time. The originally majestic castle had been turned into a thunder amusement park, and the loud and piercing thunder had resounded throughout the spine of the world.

Rumbling--

Amidst the earth-shaking thunder, the snow covering half of the Spine of the World seemed to be unable to bear the weight and began to roll down the mountain, escaping from the terrifying thunder.

If Emilia didn't hurry, his precious overlook would be buried by the avalanche.

The ballista was completed, but Emilia now had to face a problem.

The essence of a crossbow is the storage and release of energy.

How would he wind a ballista of this caliber? A capstan? A pulley? Gears?

We don’t have the time now, and the requirements are completely unattainable.

What he needed was a power that no one had ever heard of.

...Prayer seems to be the only possibility.

He could only hope that the prayer could help him skip the process of stringing the bow with brute force and directly place the fully strung crossbow in front of him - if this prayer could ensure that the bow arm would not break instantly.

At this moment, a flash of inspiration came into his mind.

Skip the process.

He actually heard this kind of thing quite often. The most common source was other craftsmen's disapproval and criticism of his craftsmanship.

——"How can you use the supernatural power... No, why can the supernatural power skip the process?!"

Emiya shuddered.

With the magic of nature, can we skip the painful winding process?

There is absolutely no fucking reason why it cannot be done. The deformation, reshaping, and elevation of materials... none of them require external work, and when has the magic of nature ever cared about such things?

It’s not like he hasn’t built buildings and city walls before. Could those things be made by one person alone?

He has done similar things before, and he can still do it now, he must be able to do it, he definitely can!

Emiya took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and made up her mind.

He took a step forward and placed his hand on the heavy coral steel.

Amyia's palm felt the unique warmth of coral steel. It was a kind of ocean scent, with the warmth of winter and the coolness of summer.
