MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again-Chapter 1408 - 3: Pyrrhic Victory

The three of them found it impossible to uproot the domains activated by the Bone Spider Mother, and this realization sent a chill straight from their hearts.

"Retreat!" Archimonde shouted, but it was too late. Behind them, six sharp bone spider claws already aimed at their backs, heading directly for their hearts.

Lu Hong was the quickest to react, being smaller in stature and having battled the Bone Spider Mother once before, he was fully prepared. His whole body surged with Divine Power, utilizing the Simulated Space Law for spatial movement. Yet, those two bone spider claws seemed to lock onto him persistently. Despite a hundred spatial shifts, Lu Hong couldn’t evade the relentless entanglement of the spider claws, which continually forced him back from the domain’s edge.

Archimonde fared the worst as he specialized in intellectual pursuits and had limited combat effectiveness. Though he activated his Magic Fire Power to resist, the bone spider claws still pierced into his body. Fortunately, the wound wasn’t deep, thus avoiding life-threatening peril.

As for Liesuotus, his slow reaction allowed the bone spider claws to pierce through his chest.

This, however, triggered Liesuotus’s ferocity. Born as a warrior, even with a grievous chest wound, he could still persist.

In a furious burst, Liesuotus unleashed his Domain Power. Though suppressed by the Bone Spider Mother’s domain, his Bizhong Domain still exerted its effect.

With a wolf fang club, he struck heavily at the front.

Aided by the Bizhong Domain, the elusive bone spider claws were drawn to the front of Liesuotus’s wolf fang club.

This strike carried all of Liesuotus’s might, crashing hard against the bone spider claws.

A terrifying force exploded, sweeping across a thousand miles, shattering everything around.

The Bone Spider Mother let out a painful howl, for one of her spider claws had been shattered by Liesuotus’s full-force smash.

Yet, the frenzied Liesuotus didn’t exhaust himself, instead growing even more furious following the Bone Spider Mother’s wail.

Wielding the wolf fang club, he continued to smash with abandon.

Another wolf fang club was forcibly drawn before Liesuotus. The Bone Spider Mother, with a malevolent glare, then retracted her spider claws targeting Archimonde and Lu Hong, surrounding Liesuotus with seven claws, striking at his vital points.

"Die!" Liesuotus also sensed the Bone Spider Mother’s offensive, but he neither retreated nor stopped swinging his wolf fang club, continuing the all-out barrage.

Pang!

Splurt, splurt...

Breaking one spider claw with his club simultaneously, the remaining six claws pierced into Liesuotus, penetrating his entire being.

Two through his brain, four through his chest.

Having his vitals pierced, Liesuotus helplessly dropped his wolf fang club.

Thud...

The wolf fang club fell to the ground. Liesuotus no longer breathed.

"Liesuotus!" Witnessing this scene, Archimonde roared. Though most demons were ruthless, Archimonde and Liesuotus shared bonds akin to brotherhood.

Following Liesuotus’s death, Archimonde was instantly engulfed in rampage.

Demonic Power surged wildly, akin to a mountain, accumulating over Archimonde’s fist. At this moment, Archimonde had no other thoughts but to smash this power-laden fist right into the Bone Spider Mother’s head.

Then, Archimonde’s figure flickered, hurtling toward the Bone Spider Mother.

The Bone Spider Mother’s eyes flickered venomously, withdrawing the spider claws from Liesuotus’s body. Six claws vanished at the tips, disappearing into the void. No one knew where the next attack would emerge.

Swiftly reacting, Lu Hong mobilized his mastered Space Law around Archimonde to fold space, but his grasp of the Power of Laws was too rudimentary. Even if it weren’t, blocking the Bone Spider Mother’s attack points would be tough.

For the Bone Spider Mother’s domain could launch attacks from anywhere, even across folded space ranging miles, millions of miles, all traversed instantaneously.

Yet, Lu Hong knew of no other measure.

After folding space around Archimonde, Lu Hong unleashed Divine Power, conjuring a Divine Sword, readying his strongest strike to see if he could kill the Bone Spider Mother. Archimonde’s attack was buying him time to gather power. Lu Hong wasn’t being cruel but knew this was his sole chance. Without it, he might never again have time, assuredly pinned down by the Bone Spider Mother’s six spider claws.

Archimonde madly charged toward the Bone Spider Mother, instantly, a bone spider claw appeared sideways, aiming for Archimonde’s head.

Archimonde quickly reacted, lowering his head to avoid the strike, yet the Bone Spider Mother wouldn’t afford him respite. Another claw appeared at the spot where Archimonde lowered his head.

Should Archimonde keep ducking the upper strike, he’d inevitably be struck by the lower claw, piercing from above.

If Archimonde did nothing, two spider claws—one up, one down—would assuredly burst his head.

"Break!" Archimonde bellowed amid their shock, voluntarily dropping his head.

With Archimonde’s head detached from his neck, the Bone Spider Mother’s strike missed.

This move baffled the Bone Spider Mother, momentarily forgetting to attack.

What was this? Detaching your head because the enemy aims at it? Thus, self-slaughter when attacked? Solving the problem all at once?

Everyone was stunned by Archimonde’s unexpected act.

Yet, Archimonde’s assault hadn’t ceased. Utilizing the brief moment, Archimonde reached the Bone Spider Mother’s front.

He punched toward the Bone Spider Mother’s head.

The Bone Spider Mother scrambled to evade, but though her strikes permeated everywhere, her mobility was sluggish. Archimonde’s punch hit its mark, thumping her head.

The raging demonic force struck the Bone Spider Mother’s brow.

Though her brow was resilient, Archimonde’s fist carried his full power.

Boom!

A green mushroom cloud rose over the Hanqiu Mountain Realm. The Bone Spider Mother’s head splintered. Her massive spider body teetered before collapsing still.

Archimonde also lost all motion, forever frozen in the fist-strike posture.

"Archimonde!" Lu Hong was also shocked by Archimonde’s suicidal offensive.

In his first furious strike, Archimonde had perhaps foreseen what awaited.

If not relying on sacrificing himself, delivering this full-power blow borne from bodily inertia, Archimonde mightn’t have approached the Bone Spider Mother, her strikes would’ve detained him.

Thus, Archimonde chose mutual harm, trading lives.

However, though the Bone Spider Mother’s body ceased trembling, she shortly rose again, and her head began to slowly reassemble.

Dead souls won’t die merely from missing heads, unless their souls are shattered or devoured.

Aware of the Bone Spider Mother’s regeneration, Lu Hong didn’t hesitate, pressing onward with the charged Eternal Sword. He promptly flashed to Archimonde’s front, aiming to save him from the sword’s destruction.

In the next scene, the Eternal Sword swept toward the Bone Spider Mother’s body.

The screen froze, Sword Qi torn through the Bone Spider Mother’s form, slicing it in half. Not only her body was cleaved, but also her soul, along with the endless army behind her, all becoming inescapable under that sword.
