Seeing Wugyan's complete trust in Ikaros, the two women couldn't help but feel a bit jealous. Misaki turned her head away in dissatisfaction but still asked with concern, "Are you really sure Ikaros can handle three opponents of the same level? Ikaros is strong in group battles, but facing three of the same level would be quite a stretch, right?"

"Yeah, Yan, isn't this too dangerous..." Chrysanthemum looked at Ikaros with worry and said, "Are you really sure they don't have Golden Armors? What if something goes wrong and Ikaros gets hurt?"

"Both the assumption that Ikaros excels in group battles and the guess about the Golden Armors are your own calculations, right? If your calculations are wrong and they have Golden Armors, or if Ikaros's group battle strength isn't enough to handle three of the same level, what then?"

Ikaros, who had been silent all along, suddenly lifted his head and said softly but firmly, "Ikaros can fight!"

Chrysanthemum and Misaki immediately looked at Ikaros, but they only saw his expressionless face, so they helplessly turned to Wugyan.

Wugyan was speechless. Under the gaze of the two women, he felt as if he had done something terrible. He shrugged helplessly. "You're not wrong. Anything can happen. Just now, it was just a simple calculation. But even if Ikaros can't win, as long as he drinks the 'Radiant Breath,' he'll be invincible for three hours, so it should be fine, right?"

"Right, there's that!" Chrysanthemum and Misaki exchanged glances and both felt a bit embarrassed. Clearly, they had forgotten about the 'Radiant Breath.'

Seeing this, Wugyan shook his head with a smile. "With the 'Radiant Breath' making Ikaros invincible for three hours, even if he grinds it out, he can still defeat those three. So, don't worry!"

Chrysanthemum and Misaki nodded. Misaki even sighed, "Sometimes, I really think having a system is just unfair. With such powerful items, whoever faces it is bound to be in trouble..."

Hearing Misaki's mutter, Wugyan couldn't help but find it amusing. The system is a cheat, after all!

Well... it's also a pitfall...

...

Finally, when all the fallen bodies became as withered as twigs and all the blood in the corpses was completely absorbed by the magic array, the magic array finally unleashed its full power!

The originally blood-red color, like a sunset, weakened as the last drop of blood flowed into the magic array. The bright red color gradually faded and disappeared, and the magic array became plain and unremarkable, like a mere decoration.

Seeing this, Karillas, Momiri, and Zarade did not show surprise but instead their faces brightened with joy. They lowered all their defenses, their lips curling into smiles, and they couldn't help but burst into laughter.

This could only mean they had achieved their goal! Everything they wanted to do had basically succeeded!

And indeed, that was the case!

The magic array lost all its luster, and the giant spider queen felt a sense of impending doom. All her anxiety and restlessness turned into a fatal premonition, driving her into a frenzy.

Taking advantage of the magic array's weakening, the giant spider queen let out a loud cry, her numerous long legs pushing hard against the ground. The ground cracked, and the space trembled as she leaped up, leaving the magic array on the ground.

However, before she could rejoice, an invisible force suddenly struck her. Her massive body, which even a ninth-rank strong could not easily move, was hit like a piece of paper and fell heavily back onto the ground, right where the magic array had been.

Seeing the giant spider queen's struggle, Karillas, Momiri, and Zarade's faces showed disdain, a stark contrast to their earlier cautious and fearful expressions. This revealed their true petty nature, making Wugyan sneer.

Earlier, when the magic array hadn't taken effect, they were ready to run at the slightest sign of trouble. Now, relying on the magic array's power to suppress the giant spider queen, they felt confident in their victory and began to mock her. Truly, they were despicable!

The giant spider queen continued to struggle, her screams echoing throughout the space. No matter how she struggled, she couldn't lift her body, as if a massive mountain were pressing down on her back, making her feel incredibly heavy and unable to move. As for the two giant spider guards, they had already fallen to the ground.

Karillas, Momiri, and Zarade exchanged glances and laughed even more joyfully. Whether their laughter was a signal or not, after they laughed, the sound of chaotic footsteps came from the other side of the stone path.

Soon, the auction house people appeared before Wugyan and the others. To Wugyan's surprise, not only were there people from the auction house, but also people from two other factions.

After a moment's thought, Wugyan understood.

I see, that's why there were three eighth-rank individuals. They couldn't all be from the auction house, or the auction house would have already dominated the entire supply town. So, two of them are from other factions...

Wugyan couldn't be blamed for not noticing. Even with the 'Complete Memory' ability, his attention had been entirely on the auction house, and he hadn't paid attention to other factions, only focusing on those above the sixth rank. That's why he hadn't noticed the other two factions hiding with the auction house people earlier.

"Colluding with each other!" The president was furious and coldly snorted.

Wugyan looked at Chrysanthemum with some surprise and said, "Not bad, you've learned your idioms well!"

An old man from the auction house stepped out of the crowd, approached Karillas, Momiri, and Zarade, and bowed, saying respectfully, "My lords, was it successful?"

"Of course!" Karillas waved his hand, acting as if he were above everyone else, completely lacking the dignity of an eighth-rank strong. Despite his steady voice, his words were filled with an indescribable sense of pride.

"After all that effort, if it wasn't successful, it would be unreasonable!"

Unfortunately, you are destined not to laugh last...

The old man looked up at the giant spider queen, feeling the immense aura of death and pressure emanating from her, as well as the powerful sound waves from her frantic roars, and shuddered in fear.

"Karillas, finish it!" Momiri noticed the crowd's stiffness under the giant spider queen's pressure and frowned. Zarade also nodded in agreement with Momiri's suggestion.

"Understood!" Karillas glared at the two, seemingly annoyed that they were not letting him show off in front of his subordinates, but he still took out a small blood-red stone from his pocket.

The three stepped forward a few paces, closing the distance to the giant spider queen. Seeing her constantly roaring, ferocious spider face and the full of killing intent and resentment in her spider eyes, they all felt a chill.

Karillas coldly snorted, feeling that this monster was about to die at his hands, and he shouldn't be afraid of it, losing face. So, he said maliciously, "Hmph, what's so great about being ninth-rank? You're still my defeated opponent, still dying at my hands. Remember my name, Karillas!"

His pretentious act made Wugyan and the others feel nauseous...

Karillas flicked the small blood-red stone into the magic array. The three stepped back as the stone fell into the magic array, sliding to the giant spider queen's front, and then instantly vaporized.

As the stone vaporized, the magic array seemed to receive a command and instantly activated!

Complex and incomprehensible runes danced in the air, and the blood turned into a flowing liquid around the giant spider queen and the two giant spider guards. A blood-red transparent barrier rose from the bottom of the magic array, covering the entire magic array, the giant spider queen, and the two giant spider guards...

The giant spider queen seemed to have foreseen her fate and let out a mournful howl, a sound that shook the heart...

"Boom!!!"
