Arcane Journey

As the spider wizard waved his arms, a deafening thunder seemed to sound in the air, striking Brian's heart.

He roared in grief and anger: "Brian, you can't give up! These poor people controlled by Rose are still struggling to survive. Their hopes are placed on you. We all have consciences, but those mistresses have long been blinded by power and desire. How can they understand our pain and struggle?"

The wizard's voice revealed a despair as deep as the abyss, and a determination as raging as a prairie fire.

His eyes were as sharp as a sword, piercing deep into Brian's soul, as if seeking the dawn of salvation in the dark night sky.

"I know that it may not be wise to openly confront Rose, but there must be a way for us to break through the rules of the game she set. We can't just sit back and let her continue to take pleasure in our pain. We need to use her rules to win with wisdom and defeat the enemy with force. Brian, this is our only way to revenge, the only way to redemption..."

The wizard's tone became more and more passionate, and there was an unyielding fire in his eyes, as if he saw the light of hope flickering in the depths of the darkness.

Brian looked at him, a mixture of emotions welling up in his heart.

He hesitated for a moment, but made up his mind and said, "In fact, I have never thought about getting involved in the internal strife of the ancient Orens City. My purpose of coming here is just to stop the turmoil in the Underdark."

He looked at the spider wizard sincerely and invited him, "If, I mean if, if you and your companions who share the same idea as you are willing, I can take you out of the Underdark and go to the surface world to bathe in the sun."

The deep disappointment and blow caused the spider wizard to stagger backwards.

He suddenly dropped his wand, covered his ears with his hands, and shook his head in pain.

This powerful legendary wizard curled up in the corner of the room like a wronged child, burying his head deep in his thighs.

The suppressed sobs sounded again. Although Brian felt guilty, he...

He sighed, and he didn't know what else he could do except sigh.

Brian walked slowly towards the narrow door of the room and pushed it open with his trembling right hand, as if he was opening a door to an unknown world.

In fact, it wasn't that he didn't want to help the spider wizard, and his original intention was not wrong.

However, he was daunted by the cost of the risk.

Because the spider wizard has two extremely contradictory personalities, he cannot deal with it easily.

On the one hand, the spider wizards show fanatical loyalty to the Spider Queen Rose, a loyalty that is almost unbelievable.

On the other hand, he was full of disgust and hatred towards Rose.

These two conflicting emotions stirred and collided with each other in the spider wizard, like lightning in the dark night, completely shattering his reason and calmness.

In the brief contact with the spider wizard, Brian had already sensed the collapse of the other's spiritual world.

He even suspected that at this moment, under the deep pit magic web, Rose was watching this farce coldly - a person who tried to resist him but was driven crazy. There was no doubt that the source of all this was the Spider Queen Rose.

Therefore, when facing the spider wizard, Brian was full of vigilance and did not dare to disobey in the slightest.

He couldn't help but feel a little regretful, regretting why he came here to meet this mentally broken wizard.

Although his purpose of coming here was to obtain the spider wizard's notes on how to trigger the arrival of the demon lord, he knew very well that there might be other ways besides the spider wizard.

There was a strange and depressing atmosphere in the room, as if even the air was filled with danger.

Brian took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner tension and anxiety.

He knew that he had to remain calm in order to protect himself and find the real answers in this world full of contradictions and madness.

Brian sighed and bowed deeply to the Spider Wizard. He couldn't help but recall the words he said to the Spider Wizard when he said goodbye to him for the first time:

"Finding an opportunity to destroy her power and pretending to serve her may seem like the only hope, but it also involves a serious crisis. If you keep pretending to be her slave, one day you will realize that you have actually become one of her.

Time may seem like an ally, but it can also be an enemy. As time passes, everything, even a truly kind drow, is likely to be corrupted and degraded."

Obviously, judging from the current situation of the Spider Wizard, he is really in his hands.

Brian took one last look at the crazed wizard.

In the wizard's madness, Brian felt the fear hidden deep inside, a chilling premonition that seemed to foreshadow a huge disaster that was about to happen.

He understood that once he left, the deepest fear in the spider wizard's heart would surge like an undercurrent, difficult to suppress.

Where exactly this most terrible fear comes from, perhaps even the wizard himself cannot understand.

However, the huge crisis and potential destructive power that these fears bring are self-evident.

At this time, although Brian hesitated in his heart, he did not stop.

He took a deep breath, turned and left without looking back at the crazy wizard.

As Brian left, the spider wizard took off all the masks that concealed his emotions, revealing a hideous face.

His eyes were full of disappointment and contempt as he stared at Brian's departing figure. Then he cursed loudly, with every word filled with intense anger and despair: "You coward! You coward! I was so stupid to misjudge you and save a guy like you! I actually placed my hopes on someone like you."

His voice was like a roaring wind, filled with endless disappointment and anger.

He continued his rant:
"Get out! Get out right now! Your escape will only make me despise you even more! You will find that no one can escape from Rose's web of tricks. In the end, you will understand that you have no other way out except to fight!"

Silence echoed in the room for a long time.

After an unknown amount of time, a terrifying darkness suddenly emerged in the room.

This darkness was like a huge wave in the ocean, surging and instantly swallowing up all the light.

It is so oppressive that it makes people unable to breathe, and makes people feel an immense fear and despair in their hearts, as if they are on the edge of the abyss and may fall into endless darkness at any time.

The most terrifying thing is that this dark force seems to have its own will. It spreads quietly and silently, gradually eroding every corner of the room.

As the darkness invaded, the air in the room seemed to become sticky and heavy, making it impossible to escape.

Under the influence of this darkness, all kinds of fear began to emerge in people's hearts. They began to panic and feel at a loss.

Just as Brian had predicted before he left, Rose, the Spider Queen, had really been paying attention to this place. As Brian left, her projection descended...

Rose was in her drow form at this time, her skin as rough as tree bark, tightly wrapped in a spider silk dress.

The dress extended to her shoulders and was hidden in her bone-white long hair, which was like a flowing waterfall, and every strand was full of mysterious power.

Tiny red spiders poured out of her mouth as she parted her lips slightly and let out a low sound.

The spiders slid effortlessly through Rose's lower lip and landed on a hair-thin web.

The spider webs swayed gently in the fetid breeze, as if speaking a language of their own.

Rose's face was shrouded in a deep majesty, and her eyes were flashing with a blood-red abyss-like light.

This light seemed to come from the magma fire of the deep pit magic net. It was so bright and hot, and it was the only shining place on her body.

The surrounding space was instantly shocked by her majesty and stood still.

The crazy spider wizard seemed to have regained his composure and rationality in an instant. He knelt deeply on the ground, staring fanatically at the projection of the Spider Queen Rose, and prayed devoutly:
'She' is the strongest.

The prosperity and joy she had enjoyed was beyond the imagination of any living person.

She has killed more opponents than anyone else alive.

She killed all the enemies around her, and even did not wait to devour their corpses, and set out to chase the living beings wandering outside the realm of death.

'She' is the strongest.

'She' will rise in bloodshed, chaos and domination.

'She' is the strongest, always slaughtering everything and ruling over everything.

This is how 'she' practices her majesty as God.

He was stupid, and 'she' knew it.

Every step he took was meaningless, and his fate was sealed long ago.

He has no other choice.

Because the drow, driven by irresistible hunger, were terrified.

The drow, driven by a simple instinct of self-preservation, were killed without a trace.

Driven by foolish pride, the drow is in a state of physical and mental silence.

Driven by the instinctive desire to survive, the drow will either decay and perish, or live in disgrace.

The drow, driven by elaborate schemes and intrigues, are still alive!

They know there can only be one winner.

For all other lives, there is only hard labor or death, no other choice.

Eight long legs clattered against the stone.

Tick, tick, tap, tap, patience is twisted, stretched, and torn into pieces
