Chapter 337: The Burrow XI

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Thousand-eyed Carcinus and most of the Demon-Hunters stopped and remained at a distance .

Grimm, Alxa, and Saris took the lead as they carefully scouted the situation ahead .

There were faint glows of light from sources of fire .

A few hundred meters ahead, bushes and rotten leaves smothered the place strewn with a thick layer of grayish-black densely packed cobwebs . However, these were definitely not the webs that the spiders spun . It was a burrow wall that was built by some kind of creature, eerily similar to a house built by a human .

The spider web wall cemented the branches of trees together which formed a giant Wolfspider Burrow .

A particular spot on the spider web wall of the Wolfspider Burrow was alight with flames that were raging with elemental forces . Obviously, that was the very spot where the Elemental Sorcerer had self-destructed .

They looked toward the source of light from the fire .

High up above the spider wall scattered a swarm of hundreds of Wolfspiders that were about twenty centimeters in length . Crawling all around the wall, there were also juvenile spiders that were half a meter in length . With that being said, it was rare to even see a mature spider that exceeded a meter in length .

Obviously, the spiders had hunted down the Demon-Hunters and stowed them in their burrow .

One of the Demon-Hunters realized the bleakness of the situation and managed to get through the interference of the Thought Echo . He chose to perform Elemental Self-Explosion out of despair and hopelessness . The Force Flame had blasted through the spiderweb wall of the Wolfspider Burrow .

“The amount of Wolfspiders here is simply shocking…” murmured Grimm as he gazed upon the situation .

Utilizing Grimm’s Ultrasound Positioning Sorcery, he was able to sense infant Wolfspiders that crawled on a spider web wall that had a background in white . These saplings were in black and densely packed together like a meal plate .

Although the spiders were still infants, they had already showcased a different level of hunting skills and survivability, one that was incomparable to any normal creature from the Sorcerers World .

Alxa extended her dry and skinny palm .

There was a green sprout that moved gently above her palm . It seemed to be her Symbiotic Insect and appeared to be informing Alxa about something .

A short while later, the green sprout retracted into the center of her palm and disappeared beneath the skin . Alxa then joined her palms, placed them back into her wide sorcerer robe and replied in a deep voice, “The sorcerer that had used the Life Energy Sorcery is still alive and is now in the inner part of this burrow . ”

At that moment, Saris was supporting a giant dual-layered elemental barrier that wrapped around herself and Grimm . This was done to avoid being noticed by the Thought Echo of the Wolfspiders .

Saris also controlled the Alarm Rooster that stood on top of the metal serving plate that was placed on her hand . It appeared to have sensed something special from its surroundings .

“Good news . ”

Saris began talking, which the excited Grimm and Alxa quickly turned to her, eagerly awaiting the answer .

Saris continued slowly, “The Alarm Rooster was able to sense 16 mature Wolfspiders within the range of its senses . Although the rooster’s senses might not cover the entire inner area of the burrow, the total amount of mature Wolfspiders will definitely not exceed the 30 . I am sure about this number even if there happened to be an undiscovered part of the burrow which had eluded the rooster’s senses . ”

Only a fraction of the mature Wolfspiders could be considered Level 1 creatures .

According to the terms in the Sorcerers Law, most mature Wolfspiders would still be considered creatures unable to be specified at any level . This was also similar in the case of the Legendary Knight .

Hence, if being dealt with individually, the spiders would not pose much of a threat to an opposing Elemental Sorcerer . Not unless the sorcerer was utilizing a high level of mental strength during a battle, or if the sorcerer was heavily outnumbered by the spiders .

After receiving the good news, the three quickly returned to the spot where the Thousand-eyed Carcinus and the rest of the Demon-Hunters had gathered to discuss whether or not to rescue the Demon-Hunter that was captured by the spiders .

Grimm and Alxa had to grind their minds and ponder hard to make the best decision . If what Saris mentioned was true, where there were 30 mature spiders at most, then a well-planned rescue mission should definitely work out for both teams of Demon-Hunters .

Grimm, however, could not resist his reemerging doubts toward Saris asked, “Saris, are you sure that the sensor of your Alarm Rooster is working fine?”

“Of course . ”

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Saris’ tone toward Grimm . If Grimm had not proven his ability to the team members earlier, such a doubtful question from Grimm would have definitely sparked conflict among the Dark Sorcerers .

However, as Grim had already proven himself worthy, and for the sake of being extra-cautious, there was no need to care about the level of satisfaction or dissatisfaction for that matter that others would have toward him .

Who’s to say that, perhaps when the demon-hunting mission had ended, they would both never meet again . Having these thoughts in mind, there was no need to care for her feelings .

In other words, when they meet each other again, Grimm should not consider too much on the characteristics of the opposite, as there were rules among the Dark Sorcerers . Those who were unable to abide by such harsh rules had already been eliminated long ago .

Alxa took the lead in expressing her thoughts .

“I do think that we have to try this . At least once . The Burrow World is obviously just another world of native creatures that are bigger in size . The creatures were not diverse enough for us to discover anything of interest from the demon-hunting mission . We also did not earn any Sorcerer Essence from this exploration . ”

At the end of the sentence, Alxa shook her head and let out a sneer .

Grimm bowed in silence for a moment and made up his mind, “Alright, even… even if we could not save them, at least we freed them up from their suffering . ”

Grimm showcased empathy toward those who were suffering . Great empathy was one of the values that he had learned being a human Demon-Hunter that also came from the Sorcerers World .

He could not stand to imagine on how the Demon-Hunters would have been tortured by the Thought Echo while feeling every part of their bodies getting liquefied and consumed by the spiders .

Such torture would have been more horrifying than the specimens in a sorcerer’s lab; even comparable to that of Grimm’s Dissimilation Sorcery .

Alxa looked at Grimm and nodded, “That’s right . ”

After Grimm and Alxa were aligned on their plan, the others would have to obey the arrangement of the Dark Sorcerer Leaders and execute them accordingly .

Grimm stood on the back of the Thousand-eyed Carcinus and ordered his team of Demon-Hunters in a deep voice, “Refrain yourself from using sorcery that has a wide coverage area, or you might accidentally kill the Demon-Hunter that is in the burrow . You might also attract the attention of nearby Wolfspiders . Try to kill the spiders one by one, and the Alarm Rooster will…”

On the other hand, Alxa, a Level 2 Demon-Hunter, was far more experienced when it came to strategic coordination of a mission plan . The other three Level 2 Demon-Hunters were also veteran hunters . Hence, there was not much more left to be said . It was just the same old fashioned killing game with the same rules applied .

A while later, both Alxa and Grimm exchanged sights and nodded toward each other, and then they started to lead the other 12 Demon-Hunters to move closer toward the burrow .

Stay still .

Alxa raised her wooden magic staff and raspily commanded, “Summon the element-activated creatures . ”

Whoo!

Roar!

…

Waves of roaring could be heard and tens of element-activated creatures appeared . The sudden spike of boundless elemental energy wave had attracted the attention of the Wolfspiders .

As if stabbing a beehive, countless densely packed infant spiders rushed out from the inner part of the spider web wall baring a pair of venom-laced fangs and brandishing claws from all eight feet . Thousands of these horrifying spiders rushed toward the Demon-Hunters .

Among the raging pack of infant spiders were also mature spiders that had appeared simultaneously, ranging from one to three meters in length .

These mature spiders were covered with spiky black fur as sharp as a needle around the surface of its entire body . It also had a pair of giant fangs that gleamed under the dim light, while its abdomen had vivid snivel face stripes .

“Wild Instinct Level 1, activate!”

Scaly armor suddenly materialized all over his body as he held onto his Sabbatic Goat Staff . It then cast out three Fire Bats . Combined with the Lava Greatsword of the Savage Flame Giant, they directed their attacks toward the infant spiders that were rushing for them .

In the eyes of the sorcerers, the infant spiders were just a bunch of annoying insects .

If not for the impairment caused by the cunning Thought Echo from the mature spiders, the Demon-Hunters would have easily wiped out these infant spiders in a jiffy .

Among all the element-activated creatures that were summoned, including the Elemental Giant that was summoned by the Level 2 Demon-Hunter, only Alxa and another Level 2 Elemental Sorcerer were able to summon their Level 2 element-activated creatures . These were slightly stronger than the Savage Flame Giant .

The Savage Flame Giant was engulfed with black and golden flames . Its body was covered with Lava Armor that had two giant mouths that were on the chest and the back of the giant . With one smiling and the other crying, it showcased its dominance that caught the attention of the other Demon-Hunters . These were the ones who had not seen it before, being affected by the Thought Echo during the last battle .

Nairo, who was on the other side, caught Grimm’s attention .

The black ball with chains that were in Nairo’s backpack began transforming into a giant metal hand more than ten meters long . It slapped the ground with a loud boom .

The metal hand, now firmly planted, extended tens of black chains that swept across the ground, annihilating every swarm of infant spiders that were in its trail of destruction .

However, despite the variations that the metal chains could achieve, there would always be one chain that remained around Nairo as protection . As a sorceress with golden hair, she was too fragile to allow any harm to befall her .
