Chapter 399 Climbing Down The Cliff

"These are the most poisonous creature in the summer and icy cold land. The webs they create are equally toxic, capable of euthanizing aura masters. And it just so happens that I have no resistance against poison."

Roy could hear their heartbeat from a mile away. He didn't know a lot about them before he inspected them.

The venom spiders were the most poisonous creatures in both the summer and icy cold lands, and there were tens of thousands of them there. These creatures were famous for adapting to any environment and surviving in the harshest condition.

The toxicity of their venom was so potent that it could easily kill even the most powerful aura masters. It was sought after by many professionals and was a famous tool for assassins, but it wasn't easy to get.

Many have lost their lives trying to collect their venom.

The fact that Roy had no resistance to poison made these creatures more dangerous for him.

A single bite or sting from these creatures could end his life, and he couldn't even touch the webs they have laid around, or it will be game over for him.

"It's good to know I am better than you at something." Delilah poked him with her elbow and joked, "Because of my captors, my poison resistance is quite high. I guess I have something to thank them for."

"It must have hurt," Roy said as he looked at her with pity. "I am sorry."

She hated that look the most. "What are you apologizing for? It's not like you're the one who made my childhood miserable. Not to mention, they are all dead."

"I would have killed them for you if they weren't."

Delilah exposed a cold smile. "You wouldn't have gotten the chance."

"They don't have eyes?" Delilah detected something odd and changed the topic. She didn't want to dwell on her depressing past.

"God is fair. He blessed them with all kinds of abilities but also gave them three huge weaknesses. They lack the sense of smell, sight, and hearing. I can get around them, but I am not sure about you." Roy disappeared in a puff of smoke. "If you think you can't, let Shadowless escort you back."

"I am an assassin. I know a few tricks to get by unnoticed," she shouted, not worried that the spiders would hear her, as she jumped down and went around the many webs by twisting her body in a way better than a professional gymnastic, producing not the slightest fluctuation.

Roy, who was in his shadow form, had to wonder whether the bones in her body were made of rubber or the same material as him. "She is too flexible. Whoever marries her will be one lucky man."

A flexible woman was the best in bed. He coughed, swallowing the dirty thoughts in his mind.

With a thud, Delilah landed next to the shore.

Plop!

Just then, the surface of the water burst violently, and a monster charged out. It was 5 meters tall and one and a half meters thick, and it swooped towards Delilah quickly, intending to swallow her petite frame whole in one bite.

The maw of the monster was wide and gaping, lined with rows of razor-sharp teeth that glinted in the dark. She would undoubtedly snap in two like a twig if the attack connected.

As it bore down on her, the stench emanating from the monster's breath hit her face like a stinky pair of socks, causing her eyes to tear up.

"Disgusting bastard. It reminds me of that one guy who never cleaned his teeth."

She was startled but managed to react in time. She teleported to safety before it could close its jaws.

"Guuuarkkkk!"

The monster emitted a guttural roar that shook the surrounding water, its yellow eyes fixed hungrily on its prey. The wind blew before it lunged toward Delilah, saliva dripping from its jaws. Whatever distance was between them was covered in a flash.

"I am not an easy target." She sidestepped its frontal lunge as she took out her daggers.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

A few strikes landed on its sides, but it was like hitting a stone with eggs, utterly useless. Its massive head was adorned with horns and spikes, and its body was covered in spikes. Her attacks only left a few scratches on its scales, concluding that her efforts were in vain.

It shifted position in one swift movement. Her feet hadn't touched the ground when its mouth came terrifyingly close to her. But then it stopped as if grabbed by formless and invisible hands.

"Did you ask for my permission?" A cold voice came from behind.

Delilah breathed a sigh of relief. Her lord has finally decided to intervene. Thankfully, he hadn't overestimated her, or she would have been its meal for today.

Roy's heartless stare landed on the back of the monster, and it felt chills creeping up its spine. His aura pressure was so strong that it left a level 20 monster unable to twitch its tail.

It couldn't move, but it was not completely helpless. It could still access its mana. Its eyes shone menacingly as it tried to use magic to escape this predicament or maybe even turn the tables around.

Roy seemed to see through it. Before the monster could realize its plan, his aura rushed into its body. Its energy core was crushed, and its mana pathways that had started to form were ground to dust.

The monster howled in pain as its hopes of reaching the aura stage diminished.

Soon after, the reality of the situation kicked in. It was immobilized and had no way of fighting back. In worse words, it was a fish freshly taken out of the water on the chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered.

Its eyes dilated and darted around. It didn't know what it was feeling, but it was called fear.

It was feeling fear for the first time, and its fear intensified as he stepped closer to it.
