"If that’s really the case, it’s a fake surrender." Sherman had no trust in the Dark Elves, known for their cunning. "Besides, no army would come directly to the gates to surrender."

After a few jokes, the two wasted no time and hurried towards the city gates.

Upon reaching the wall, they saw the Dark Elf army forming ranks in the distance.

"This number... Magic Spider City has thrown everything they have!" Attila’s expression grew more serious.

Sherman also furrowed his brow.

Judging by this posture, are the Dark Elves treating the upcoming battle as the final confrontation?

But Sherman couldn’t understand where the Dark Elves got their confidence?

Moreover, they put themselves in the disadvantageous position of the attacking side.

This move is undoubtedly very unusual.

But glancing at the Secret Puppet that had arrived beside him at an unknown time, Sherman’s heart relaxed slightly.

No matter what the Dark Elves are planning, with two Secret Puppets, there’s no need to worry too much.

Soon, the Dark Elf army launched an attack.

As usual, the slave forces served as the vanguard, and after the cannon fodder was mostly consumed, the Minotaur forces and Lizard Cavalry fiercely attacked.

Boom!

The city gates opened, and the Golem Legion marched onto the battlefield in orderly steps, blocking the flood-like enemy charge like a giant wall.

In an instant, both sides engaged in a melee, and deafening battle cries echoed in the sky above the battlefield.

Sherman kept his eyes fixed on the rear of the battlefield.

The confidence of the Dark Elves in daring to attack Bank City was undoubtedly not solely reliant on these troops; they must have other trump cards.

Is it more Spider-Elves? Or something else?

Sherman soon found himself wondering no more.

A dark figure suddenly soared into the sky from the direction of the Dark Elf camp, paused briefly, and shot towards them like lightning, stopping in the air over the battlefield.

The light emitted by the Fluorite quickly revealed the figure.

"A Spider-Elf? No, not right." Attila’s pupils narrowed. "What kind of monster is this?"

The creature hovering above the battlefield looked very similar to a Spider-Elf, but upon closer inspection, its lower spider body was much larger and darker than those seen before, resembling a black hole suspended in the air, its eight long limbs gently swaying in the void, flashing with the chilling gleam of blades.

Above the spider body was a graceful female Dark Elf form.

Her body was completely bare, with no clothing or armor, and her obsidian skin was inscribed with blood-red, bizarre patterns, vaguely forming sinister blood-red spiders, possessing a strange beauty under the Fluorite’s glow.

Sherman watched the half-spider creature with uncertainty.

For some reason, the creature gave him an extremely strong sense of threat, far stronger than the Spider-Elves!

Just as Sherman and Attila were stunned, the half-spider creature let out a fierce cry and then charged at the city wall like a cannonball.

In mid-flight, two elite Steel Golems noticed the half-spider creature, their chests flashed with light, and Shattering Sound Wave and Magic Missile simultaneously howled out.

However, the half-spider creature didn’t even glance; its massive spider body collided as if smashing into foam, brutally crushing the distorted sound waves and magic missiles. Then, its eight limbs struck crosswise, and eight crescent-shaped blades descended from the sky, slicing the two elite Steel Golems into pieces!

A single Refined Gold Golem activated Floating Skill, soared into the sky, and blocked the half-spider creature. Two iron fists wielding terrifying power charged forward with magic’s boost, yet they were severed by the half-spider creature wielding curved blades.

Subsequently, the cold gleam flashed repeatedly, and the mighty Refined Gold Golem was instantly sliced into pieces.

All this happened in the blink of an eye, so much so that Sherman couldn’t react in time.

Ignoring the loss of the golems, he hurriedly ordered the remaining golems to distance themselves from the half-spider creature.

This creature’s strength is evidently much stronger than the Spider-Elves, and ordinary golems are simply no match for it.

Seeing the golems retreat, the half-spider creature ignored these small fry, continuing to fly rapidly towards the city wall, its gaze fixed intently on the Secret Puppet girl.

Without needing Sherman’s command, the Secret Puppet girl already lifted her gray robe, leaping off the city wall to confront it.

In an instant, raging flames and violent lightning simultaneously erupted, crashing down on the half-spider creature.

The magic wielded by the Secret Puppet girl was not something elite Steel Golems could compare to. This time, the half-spider creature didn’t resist; instead, it dodged agilely, approaching the Secret Puppet girl ghost-like, its curved blade and lower limbs slicing towards her.

The Secret Puppet girl was fearless, holding a Demonized Longsword for a fierce counterattack.

In the blink of an eye, the two engaged in fierce aerial combat, the battle visibly heating up.

The Secret Puppet girl wielded a sword in one hand and magic in the other, her physical combat techniques and magic simultaneously unleashed with remarkable momentum.

Although the half-spider creature didn’t possess magic, it excelled with many weapons, and those blood-red markings seemed to have some defensive effect.

Every time a spell struck the half-spider monster, the blood-colored patterns on its body would flash with light, extinguishing the spell without any harm.

The two sides were momentarily locked in a stalemate.

After a prolonged battle, the half-spider monster seemed to be somewhat irritated, suddenly let out a shrill cry, and a violet Demon Fire ignited on its body, causing its entire aura to soar abruptly.

The eight limbs of its spider body were also wrapped in a layer of violet Demon Fire, swinging densely packed blade-like shadows towards the puppet girl.

With each hit, a faint distortion appeared on the surface of the puppet girl’s body.

Sherman and Attila were taken aback by what they saw.

Only they knew that this was a sign of the ultimate defense ring’s defense value plummeting significantly.

Just moments ago, there was no such effect when blocking the half-spider monster’s attacks. How terrifying was the power of that violet Demon Fire?

Sherman stared intently at the Demon Fire on the half-spider monster’s body, frowning.

For some reason, the aura emanating from that layer of violet Demon Fire inexplicably gave them a heavy sense of oppression.

"It’s unlike elemental energy or Spiritual Power, a type of energy I’ve never seen before!"

Sherman was filled with uncertainty.

With the half-spider monster unleashing the Demon Fire, the puppet girl was suddenly at a disadvantage!

Attila’s eyes widened in shock.

It’s known that the puppet girl is a puppet comparable to an Official Wizard level, so what kind of origin does that half-spider monster have to be able to suppress the puppet girl?

At the same time

In the Dark Elf military camp, the matriarchs of the twelve families were also staring intently at the sky above the battlefield, constantly monitoring the performance of the half-spider monster.

When they saw the half-spider monster completely suppressing the opponent and firmly gaining the upper hand, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and showed a joy of relief.

"Worthy of the Divine Envoy, that wizard is no match at all!" Lady Philier’s eyes flashed with fanaticism.

"It’s not in vain that we made such sacrifices..."

Olori stopped midway, suddenly realizing, and quickly shook her head to dispel such disrespectful thoughts towards the Goddess Queen.

How could it be a sacrifice?

It was the honor of those Dark Elf warriors!

Fortunately, the other matriarchs were filled with joy and didn’t pay attention to her words at all.

Lady Reshta smiled and said, "Kill that wizard, and the Star Alliance will be headless. Surely it will be in chaos for a while, and we can take this opportunity to counterattack!"

"Exactly!" Lady Philier nodded emphatically, "As long as that wizard is dead, the Star Alliance is nothing to fear!"

The others were also filled with excitement.

With the Divine Envoy present, the Magic Spider City is sure to unify the southeast region, no, unify the entire underground world!

Boom!

A figure crashed to the ground like a meteor, obliterating more than a dozen unprepared Dark Elf warriors and golems into rubble, leaving a huge pit on the ground instantly.

The puppet girl lay in the center of the pit, battered and bruised, with her left arm broken off at the shoulder.

The half-spider monster hovered in the air, coldly overlooking the puppet girl with an aloof indifference in its eyes.

"Victory!" Lady Philier’s face showed a confident smile of assured victory.

Cheers erupted in the Dark Elf camp, interspersed with faint praise songs.

The Dark Elf matriarchs didn’t rebuke their warriors; joy was also evident on their faces.

The outcome was decided!

In the sky above the battlefield, the half-spider monster raised the scimitar in its hand, the sharp limbs of its spider body lifting as well.

The next instant, it descended suddenly, crashing down toward the puppet girl like a falling star.

Judging by the momentum, it was clearly aiming to end the battle in one strike!

Clang!

Unexpectedly to everyone, the half-spider monster’s attack was blocked.

A tall and slender figure stood in front of the half-spider monster, wielding a longsword with both hands to hold off the slashing scimitar and limbs.

In the distance, Lady Philier glanced at the girl lying in the deep pit and then at another girl blocking the Divine Envoy, her face a mixture of astonishment and confusion.
