Chapter 87

(Listen, listen, listen (Extremely grateful for the 10,000 reward from 'Residual Stars and Broken Moons'! And the reward from 'Single? Public Hazard!'!))

(Listen, listen, listen (As soon as the classification recommendation came, the rankings plummeted, leaving me without the energy to write. Sob, sob, sob, friends, I need motivation, please give me motivation! Support! Please give me support!!))

After a while, Wuyan finally finished laughing. He rubbed his sore mouth, the joy in his eyes still present but mostly subsided.

Wuyan knew that although they had grown stronger, they were still far from becoming true powerhouses. Their path to strength had only just begun.

Chrysanthemum and Misaki also understood this. Not to mention Chrysanthemum, even Misaki felt that she was still far from her goal. Whether it was the Ikaros in front of her or Accelerator in Academy City, they were both far too powerful compared to her!

To save her sisters, she would at least need to reach Level 70 of the 8th Rank to be qualified, but even then, it would only be a qualification.

After all, even if she could defeat Accelerator in the future, to completely save her sisters, she would have to be prepared to face the entire Academy City!

Wuyan had said that the sisters were a crucial part of Aleister's plan. To save them completely, she would have to oppose Aleister, the angel by Aleister's side, and the entire Academy City!

She still needed to become much stronger!

As for Chrysanthemum, her reason for wanting to become stronger was much simpler. She only wanted to catch up to Wuyan, to have the qualifications to stand by his side and help him with his troubles. That was all she wanted to become stronger for!

Chrysanthemum looked at the corpses on the ground, frowned, and then hugged the very obedient Lilin in her arms, saying, "Yan, let's leave this place quickly. I don't like it here..."

Hearing this, Misaki also frowned, glanced at the ground, and immediately looked away, waiting for Wuyan to make a decision.

"Alright, let's keep moving forward!"

Knowing that Chrysanthemum and Misaki couldn't face such a scene, Wuyan decisively said. After all, the cause of death for these corpses was already clear, so there was no need to stay any longer.

Walking on the stone path, Wuyan and the others were extremely cautious. The corpses on the ground were everywhere. Even after they had walked a considerable distance, there were still many corpses on the ground.

One could say that the entire stone path was covered with corpses. Although the number of corpses decreased significantly as they went further, Wuyan and the others became even more vigilant.

This was because, as Wuyan and the others went deeper, the strength of the corpses on the ground increased significantly!

At first, the corpses were of those below the 5th Rank, but as Wuyan and the others went deeper, the strength of the corpses increased. By now, even those of the 6th Rank, who were considered powerful enough to harm Wuyan and the others, had died in large numbers.

The 6th Rank was at the same level as Wuyan! In this treasure-hunting team, there were only about a hundred 6th Rank individuals, but Wuyan and the others had already seen the corpses of about thirty 6th Rank individuals!

That was nearly a third of the 6th Rank. With so many 6th Rank individuals dead, how could Wuyan and the others not be on high alert?

Therefore, as they walked, Wuyan, Chrysanthemum, and Misaki kept their system perception active at all times. Ikaros alternated between her system perception and her own perception system, constantly scanning to prevent any mishaps for Wuyan and the others.

Perhaps only Lilin was the most relaxed. She had insisted on coming along to avoid leaving Wuyan and the others. Now that she was here, to avoid causing trouble for her brother and sister, she was exceptionally obedient, not speaking and just quietly staying in Chrysanthemum's arms.

This was why Wuyan agreed to bring her along. Of course, just being obedient wasn't enough for Wuyan to bring the powerless Lilin. If it weren't for the items he had exchanged from the system to ensure Lilin's safety, Wuyan wouldn't have brought her no matter what.

The stone path was not straight but twisted and turned, making Wuyan and the others almost dizzy. Just as they turned another corner, they saw more stones in front of them!

This time, Wuyan and the others were not naive enough to think they were ordinary stones. They immediately stopped and took a few steps back, their nerves on edge.

They couldn't help but be on edge. Previous experience had taught them that the larger the stone, the larger the stone-bodied spiders that emerged from it. The stones in front of Wuyan and the others were even larger than the ones they had encountered before.

At the same time, all the stones began to make a 'cracking' sound. After a series of muffled explosions, many stone-bodied spiders appeared in front of Wuyan and the others.

Seeing the stone-bodied spiders, Wuyan and the others took another step back.

All of them! They were large stone-bodied spiders! All of them! They were over Level 40 stone-bodied spiders!

Wuyan rubbed his shoulder with a bitter smile. With so many 5th Rank stone-bodied spiders, it was no wonder so many 6th Rank individuals had died. They must have been unlucky and surrounded.

The treasure-hunting team must have killed many stone-bodied spiders to get this far. With their large numbers, they must have killed more stone-bodied spiders than Wuyan and the others. Yet, there were still so many stone-bodied spiders emerging from the stones. It was hard to imagine how they managed to pass through this stone path.

But it was likely that they had forced their way through. After all, they had about a dozen 7th Rank individuals and many 6th Rank individuals. Otherwise, it wouldn't explain why Wuyan and the others were still encountering stone-bodied spiders. They must have not killed them all and just forced their way through.

At this moment, Wuyan was incredibly grateful to have Ikaros on their side. Without Ikaros, Wuyan and the others would have to use the items they had exchanged to safely leave this place.

Without hesitation, the large stone-bodied spiders, perhaps relying on their size, charged at Wuyan and the others with their long, thin stone legs!

But they were no match for Ikaros!

The Queen of the Sky mode activated instantly, and Ikaros stood in front of Wuyan and the others, activating the Absolute Defense Circle. All the large stone-bodied spiders that collided with the Absolute Defense Circle were sent flying back at a speed faster than they had charged.

"Misaki! Take this chance, let's finish them off together!" Wuyan held his hands out, and electric light appeared in his hands. Under his control, the electricity flowed into the ground, ignoring the hard stone and drilling into the earth.

Seeing Wuyan's actions, Misaki understood what he was planning. She also raised her hands, and a blue-white current crackled, much stronger than the one in Wuyan's hands. In a flash, Misaki's current also flowed into the ground.

Under the guidance of Wuyan and Misaki's currents, tiny particles rose from the cracked ground, floating around Wuyan and Misaki, forming a massive wave that swirled like the wind.

Countless black iron swords formed in the air, floating above Wuyan and the others, their blades pointing at the large stone-bodied spiders that were flying back. Before they could land, Wuyan and Misaki threw the iron sand swords.

Ikaros's eyes flashed, and a number of missiles, equal to the number of iron sand swords, appeared in the air. As Wuyan and the others threw the iron sand swords, Ikaros also launched the missiles!

"Go! Iron Sand Swords!!!"

"Artemis (Permanent Tracking Missiles)!!!"

Instantly, the iron swords shot through the air, and the missiles flew swiftly. The large stone-bodied spiders that were flying back were shattered into pieces before they could land, either pierced by the iron swords or blown apart by the missiles!

Seeing their companions die, the remaining large stone-bodied spiders did not retreat but charged forward like they were on drugs.

Of course, these charging large stone-bodied spiders didn't get close this time. They were once again cleanly blown away by Ikaros's Permanent Tracking Missiles.

This situation made Wuyan bitter again. The army of stone-bodied spiders that had caused so much trouble for them and the treasure-hunting team was so easily and cleanly dealt with by Ikaros. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Ikaros was truly the best at handling group battles...
