Limitless Evolution: The Path To Immortality

Chapter 179 Final Objective [2] - Invisible String

However, the spider didn't move... Actually, it hadn't moved from the start of the fight despite its aura still erupting out of it.

The sapphire aura didn't stop for a second, so with a raised brow, Nymira sniffed the air.

And the moment she did, her eyes widened.

Without waiting another second, her figure disappeared from where she was standing as she turned into a blur that sped straight at Eclipse.

Alex had already thrown out a few fire spells toward the spider humanoids around Eclipse, but Nymira was faster.

She blitzed past them in a flash, quickly extinguishing them before appearing in front of one of them.

When the spider humanoid saw her right next to it, it swung out toward her with the same technique that Falco was using. However, Nymira wasn't like Eclipse.

The cores on her armor shone momentarily, and before the spider humanoid could even react, Nymira's sword flickered. 

In the next instant, she was behind it with her sword, having already stabbed through the chest of the second spider humanoid.

The first one suddenly collapsed to the ground, but it was not in the same form as when it was first attacked.

It dropped to the ground in the form of a clump of meat and carcass.

Brown blood pooled under the pieces of the creatures.

Seeing this, the other spider humanoid tried to run.

Despite being stabbed through the chest, it wasn't as human as it might have wanted to seem.

It hadn't died at all. Actually, this would have probably been considered a deep wound rather than a fatal one that would kill you within second.

However, it wasn't only Nymira who was there.

Suddenly, a firebolt struck at the creature's side, creating a large explosion that destroyed most of the creature's left side.

In the next instant, Eclipse finally decided to use some of the perks of his armor by injecting his will and mana into it. 

In the next instance, his fist moved so quickly that even Nymira would have had problems tracking it.

This was the power of an armor belonging to one of the generals, and even at that, Eclipse wasn't a fighter. At best, he was a spy or a scout.

Eclipse's fist shot through the spider humanoid's head and splattered its insides onto the other side.

Nymira simply avoided the splatter, and when Eclipse's hand was out of the head, she sliced the creature into a hundred pieces in less than a second.

Looking back at the one she had killed earlier, she could see that it was on fire as Alex had dealt with it.

"So you finally decided to help m-" 

"We don't have time for this." Nymira said with a little bit of distress in her voice.

"Hm?" Eclipse raised a brow, but when he saw Nymira's eyes dart in the direction of the spider, he furrowed his brows.I think you should take a look at

"It's giving birth." She simply muttered before looking into his eyes.

"We need to leave. Now!"

"Okay. Gather up the students and let's get out of here." Eclipse had many questions on his mind, but he knew better than to question Nymira's sense of smell.

If she said that they had to get out of there, it meant that they needed to get out of there.

Eclipse quickly dashed to the two unconscious teenagers and placed them on his back. Both Falco and Argon were out cold, so he would need to carry them.

Alex, on the other hand, went to Herla to place her on his back, yet, before he could, Syra suddenly appeared next to him and slapped his hand away.

'When did she get there?' Alex thought to himself when he didn't hear her coming close to him.

"I'll take her. You're stronger than me, right? You should be on guard while I take her." Syra reasoned.

"I guess that makes sense." Alex shrugged.

David, who wasn't nearly as hurt as Falco or Argon, and not nearly as exhausted as Herla, went up to Zelon, and without thinking twice, he grabbed him in a princess carry and began to run toward the entrance with him.

Nymira hadn't carried anyone since she knew that, if they were to be attacked, she would have to be the person to hold it back until the rest got out.

She couldn't risk Silas' sister getting hurt. He told her to make sure his sister didn't get hurt. That was her job while he was cultivating. She couldn't have him saving their asses again, especially when he was cultivating a strong item.

Or, at least, that's what they called it. She didn't really understand why, but whenever they would talk to Silad about his material cultivation, he would call it "assimilation" or something along those lines.

She didn't really understand it, but if that was what he wanted to call it, then she could be calling it that too.

"Let's get out of here." Nymira shouted; however, when she was in front of the entrance, she smelled something.

No... She didn't even have to smell it. The stench was so strong that she could even taste it.

She barely turned around in time, and in a circular motion, she swung her sword.

When she did so, several clangs could be heard, and everyone could visibly see her blade get several scratches on it the moment the clangs sounded.

"Fuck!" She shouted, but it was too late.

While most of the smell had been deflected, there was one that passed by her.

Her eyes turned around, filled with dread. But it had been too late by the time she had done so.

An almost invisible string wrapped itself around one of their necks, and when when it tightened, everyone who had looked back to see what happened watched as a head fell from one of the student's shoulders, while blood shot out of their necks like a water fountain.

They were dead...
