Dark King

But Glenn and the knight were experienced, veteran hunters. They were not planning to give the black weaver an opportunity to rush out of the encirclement. Once black weaver tried to break out of the formation they would force it back.

After repeated conflict its physical strength was getting more and more weaker. Its actions had become increasingly slow. Even the knight could easily escape it percussion.

Glenn also used the opportunity to attack it while the other were harassing it from the other sides.

Sharp daggers as if a beast’s fangs were stabbed by Glenn to black weaver’s belly.

However, the black weaver which acted slow up to this moment, reacted rapidly and spewed white filament back at Glenn.

This wire-like material thrown very fast to begin with. Additionally, Glenn was not expecting the attack. Suddenly, her hands and feet were wrapped by it. At the same time, the white silk seemed to have strong corrosive effect. Parts of her armor were corroded visibly to the eye.

The reversal of battle had caught all of them in surprise. Glenn quickly rolled back to avoid the possible percussion by the black weaver.

However, the black weaver seemed to go crazy as it continued to pursue her.

Glenn was horrified as she hastened to hide.

At this time, the knight, knife-wielding hunter and the distant archer began to try their best to upset the black weaver so that it would stop attacking Glenn and turn towards them.

Regardless of their attacks, black weaver’s was focused on catching up with the Glenn. At the moment, Glenn’s upper body was covered in white silk. The surface of the armor was slowly corroding at a pace visible to the naked eye.

Glenn didn’t have time to clean up the white silk from her upper body as the black weaver was about to catch up with her. She could only avoid in panic. H now longer hesitated as he looked at Gatt and said: “We have to help!”

Gatt was stunned and hadn’t reacted to Dudian’s words. He pulled the bow from his back and ran forward. The other archer was in a position more than two hundred meters away. However his effective range was 100 meters at best and he was used to stationary targets.

Fortunately, black weaver was so focused on killing Glenn that it had forgotten and were ignoring the knight and the other knife-wielding hunter. Dudian immediately pulled the bowstring and aimed at black weaver’s head as he reached the 100 meter distance.

At this moment, he immediately realized the difference between shooting moving target and static target. Black weaver’s head was constantly shaking. So it was very difficult for him to aim. He felt irritated in his heart. He deeply inhaled as he looked at black weaver. Its head was continuously moving up and down but gradually Dudian was able to find a somewhat familiar track. Black weaver’s body construction made it so that it didn’t have much of a range to move its head.

Whoosh!

Dudian loosened his grip on the string and the arrow shot out!

Bang! The arrow hit the hard shell close to black weaver’s mouth only leaving a small dent and then falling onto the ground.

Dudian didn’t lose his heart but quickly took another arrow, aimed and shot!

Bang! This shot also hit the hard shell on black weaver’s head. It didn’t cause the slightest harm neither attracted black weaver’s attention.

Glenn was forced into a corner by the black weaver by this time. Because of black weaver’s large body hitting on to the wall, rubbles collapsed, causing great obstacles to it. However, Glenn’s feet stumbled and fell down. Her face turned ugly as she didn’t have any chance to avoid the black weaver.

The black weaver screamed and rushed past to bite her.

Glenn hastened to hold the dagger. She was staring at the joints on bottom of black weaver’s head. It was going to be a deadly gamble but it was her only chance of survival. She must fight for her own life!

In this moment of life and death, Dudian narrowed his eyes. His heart was not anxious but extraordinarily ethereal. Instinctively the black weaver’s next move emerged in Dudian’s mind. His finger loosened and the arrows shot past.

puff!

puff!

Two consecutive hits resulted in blood spattering around.

Black weaver screamed as it threw itself down on her.

Dudian quickly checked. Arrow were inserted onto black weaver’s head. Next he thought about Glenn’s safety. His heart was tightened. He waited for the other two hunters to check the beast. If black weaver had spare capacity to fight then he was going to withdraw!

The knight and the other youth carefully went forward. They saw large amount of blood flowing out from black weaver’s head. Suddenly, black weaver’s body arched and both of them were frightened. However, it was Glenn whose body was covered in black weaver’s blood that crawled out from under it. Her body armor was stained with blood and rancid smell.

Seeing this, everyone was relieved.

Glenn cut off the white silk of her body. Although her body was dyed with blood but there was an unprecedented happy smile on her face. It was because of blood bathing, she would be able to evolve her magic marks.

Dudian looked at her blood body, suddenly thought that Glenn should have absorbed the parasitic magic worms through the blood of black weaver. The new magic worms would occupy the previous position of the magic marks and will replace the previous magic mark ability!

During hunter training Dudian also learned that everyone can only master one magic mark!

In case, more than one parasitic worms reached the same body, they will kill each other. One mountain could not contain two tigers. Only one parasitic worm could stay alive and the rest had to die. There was a small chance that all the parasitic worms would evenly match and die together!

Moreover, one the parasitic worms enters the body, it soon dies turning into a magic mark. If there is another new parasitic worm that enters the body it will eat up the remains of the previous dead worms. It will die again to give a birth to new magic mark.

This made Dudian very curious. Why would parasitic worms survive in beast’s body but die after entering humans? However, he didn’t deeply thought about the problem. Most probably it is one of the puzzles that Holy Church and major consortiums were eager to solve.

“At last,” said the knight. He poked at black weaver’s body and was relieved to see it dead. He said to Glenn: “Are you alright?”

Glenn smiled: “Never been so good!”Suddenly thought of something and came towards the archer who was in distance: “I have to thank you for the arrow. It shot into its eyes and only then its body deviated creating a chance for me to kill it.”

Archer was embarrassed: “It wasn’t me who shot the arrow but Dean”. Previously he would call Dudian simply ‘little guy’. But after observing his calm actions, the archer didn’t want to underestimate him anymore.

“Dean?” Glenn was surprised, turned around and looked at the Dudian and Gatt. She saw Dudian with bow in his hand as he dawned over. She remembered that Dudian was also an archer. She couldn’t help but exclaimed: “You have just been promoted from scavenger to hunter. However, your shooting style can be compared to a professional regular archer!”

Dudian knew that the last shot was result of his luck. There was a big gap between him and the archer youth. : “just lucky… Its good enough that I could help you.”

Glenn laughed. “You’ve helped me a lot. This time I really want to thank you.”

Dudian smiled but didn’t reply. He was too modest which Dudian himself felt rather hypocritical.
