Mythology: Ragnarok

“But we still have to go; we can save as many as we can,” Pushkin replied.

Knowing that Pushkin was determined, Agled could only helplessly shout, "Then let's go. The sooner we get there, the more people we can rescue."

So the knights hurried on their way, and soon they saw the town that had been attacked by the Ete monsters. From a distance, the town was covered by a dense white spider web, forming a strange spider web maze, and there were countless spider monsters waiting for their prey to walk into the net.

Agreed frowned as he looked at the area and said, "In just five days, they've completely turned this town into their territory. There are at least ten Ete monsters here. We can't let the brothers go in. Let me just burn this place down with my eighth-tier magic."

Pushkin shook his head and refused, saying, "No, what if there are still people alive inside? If all else fails, I'll go in and check myself. If there's an ambush and we need support, I'll signal you, and you can just use magic to blow this place up."

Agreed waved his hand and refused, saying, "That won't do either. It's too dangerous for you to go there alone. You have too many concerns. Even if you're a legendary warrior, you'll be constrained there. I'll go with you, and we'll have the brothers meet us outside. If anything goes wrong, I can bring us out immediately."

Pushkin thought about it and finally agreed to the proposal. So Agreed and Pushkin dressed up and rode to the vicinity of the town. Then the two dismounted and walked into the spider web maze.

Looking at the nest before him, completely encased in spiderwebs, Pushkin asked, "Shall we enter through the entrance deliberately left by the Et monster, or should we carve out a path?"

Agreed drew his legendary sword and easily sliced ​​through the spider web in front of him. After confirming that the web was not very tough, Agreed replied, "It's safer to clear a path ourselves. Most of the Et monsters' lairs are filled with countless traps. After all, their routine is the same as that of spiders—they wait for their prey to come to them."

Pushkin nodded in agreement with his assessment, and then the two drew their swords and began to deftly cut through the spider web in front of them, slowly making their way into the town.

The two traversed the narrow and slippery path they had cleared, and soon rustling sounds came from all around. From these sounds, Agred knew very well that the spider monsters had arrived.

Then Agreed suddenly yelled, "Get down!"

Pushkin then knelt down in perfect unison, and a fireball flew over his head, burning four spider monsters that were about to pounce on him to ashes. At the same time, Agred roared, "Prepare for battle! I've detected thousands of life signals approaching us. I don't consider those to be 'friendly forces'!"

Pushkin chuckled and said, "Looks like we're surrounded. Those beasts want to trap us, but they don't know that we've surrounded them!"

After saying that, the two smiled at each other. Agreed took out his wand and struck the ground, instantly casting the seventh-tier summoning spell 'Earth Guardian'. A huge stone golem appeared from beneath their feet, tearing apart the surrounding spider webs and exposing the ugly monster spiders directly to the two of them.

The leading spider queens, several enormous enough to swallow a living person whole, pounced on Agreed and his companion. Unfortunately, the stone golem summoned by Agreed simply slapped them aside. The stone golems summoned by the Earth Guardian spell were particularly effective against creatures that relied mainly on poison and claws and had no high-damage skills.

As long as it is not directly destroyed into dust, the stone golem summoned by Agreed can continuously use magic to draw soil from the ground beneath its feet to repair its wounds, as if it were immortal.

Seeing this, Pushkin channeled his inner energy into his divine sword and unleashed a sword aura at the spider swarm. In an instant, a large number of spider monsters were torn to pieces by the sword aura, and the giant spider queens were also severed of their limbs and lay on the ground struggling.

Just then, an Ete monster silently appeared behind Agred. It swung its two hook-like claws and slammed them down on Agred's head. But unexpectedly, this sudden attack, which should have been sure to hit, passed through Agred's body and hit empty air, as if Agred had vanished into thin air.

Just then, a silver-white sword pierced through the chest of the monster from behind. The monster's mouth was instantly filled with choking blood, and it whimpered and roared helplessly. It turned out that Agred had noticed it all along, and what the monster had just attacked was only Agred's mirror image.

Then, Agreed forcefully lifted it upwards, splitting the upper body of the Et monster in two and instantly killing it. On the other side, Pushkin and the stone golem cooperated to eliminate all the spider monsters. But at this moment, countless white spheres shot out from all directions. Then, the spheres suddenly unfolded and turned into huge white spider webs. This was the Et monster's innate skill 'Spider Web'.

Seeing this, Agreed casually unleashed a barrage of fireballs that instantly burned away the spiderwebs. After the flames subsided, sixteen Ete monsters with huge beer bellies and spider heads surrounded the two of them, followed by countless spider monsters they had raised.

The largest of the monsters used its two-toed claws to grab a cocoon wrapped in spider webs, tearing it open to reveal the survivors inside, and shouted, "Put down your weapons, or I'll kill them all. Anyway, for my cubs, food doesn't matter whether it lives or dies!"

Agreed looked at the Ete monster in astonishment and asked, "You possess intelligence?! What the hell? Intelligent life can be born from Ete monsters?"

The monster chuckled and then mocked, "Don't be so arrogant, humans. You are not unique. Besides, I'm not in the mood for idle chatter. Put down your weapons, or I'll make all the humans here pay with their lives!"

Agreed reluctantly put down his weapon, and Pushkin also put down his divine sword. But at that moment, all the spider monsters suddenly exploded out of control, and the Itt monsters screamed and fell to the ground, dying completely.

This scene left the leading Itt monster completely bewildered. What was going on?!

Then, Argreed questioned in a matter-of-fact manner, "The environment in which the Et monsters live does not require much intelligence, so it is impossible for you to suddenly develop sentience unless someone specifically enlightened you. Tell me, who is the mastermind behind this?"

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the monster Itt flew into a rage and shouted, "You will all die!" As he spoke, he exerted force in his hand to crush the hostage, but Agred had already anticipated this move and directly activated the blood magic 'Blood Coagulation Control' to control Itt.

The immobilized monster, Eto, stared at the man before it and demanded, "This isn't human magic! What are you?!"

Agreed walked over and gave him a hard slap, shouting, "I'm not a thing, oh no, you're not a thing, I'm a thing... I'm a human mage, yes, that makes sense now."
