Chapter 133: Bone

"Phew," Vi Ha Su Warlord heaved a sigh of relief, his behaviour similar to humans. "He finally died. Seriously, Espers from the Marble family are the hardest to kill."

"Thankfully, he had to divert most of his strength to protect his underlings. If not for that baggage, we wouldn't have been able to kill him this swiftly." Vu He Su Warlord replied, inspecting the corpse of Wunris Marble, letting out a remark of distaste.

"His Wisdom Parasite has also been killed. You should have controlled your strength, Vi Ha Su Warlord."

"I didn't want to take the risk," Vi Ha Su Warlord defended his actions, "If I had delayed for an instant longer, he would have launched a counterattack, prolonging the battle."

The seven of them had meticulously planned their battle tactic, allotting the tasks for each individual, taking in all the factors at play. Wunris Marble was a famed Sky Controller, his nature having been researched by the Floating Spiders long ago, making use of all their previous encounters.

So, they enacted their plan in a series of steps, cornering Wunris Marble one by one. First, they targeted their attacks towards the dome created by the soldiers under Wunris Marble, forcing him to defend against their attacks head-on, wasting his psychic energy, and pinning him down.

If not for that, Wunris Marble would have been able to use his speed to manoeuvre through the battlefield, dodging all attacks from their Transformers, and easily defending against the attacks of the Espers, thanks to his Unranked Skill unrivalled in the aspects of defence.

If such a situation had been created, they would have lost their initiative, being forced to defend against his attacks, removing their advantage due to a difference in numbers.

Once he was pinned, they continued to attack the dome, forcing him to divert four of his psychic arms to shield his soldiers. All he had remaining was a single psychic arm to defend himself.

Their second attack was focused on Wunris Marble, directed through six psychic arms, leaving him with the only choice to defend himself. This attack fully pinned him, sealing his mobility.

The third attack was directed at his emotional state, executed by the four Transformers on their side activating their Unranked Skill, Greater Warlord. It made him seethe with rage; after all, some of his family members had also been kidnapped, sacrificed to create the Unranked Skill. His anger was justified, witnessing the Skill created from the deaths of his brethren.

The fourth attack was a mental attack, unleashed when Vi Ha Su Warlord spoke in Modern Rodawria language created by Rhachis Ancestor Light, intent to be exclusive for humans, to prevent any leakage of their secrets to the Frenzy Beasts.

Its usage of the language had significant implications. It meant that, were the Floating Spiders happened to capture some humans, they now possessed the capability to extract their secrets through torture. After all, not everyone possessed a will of steel, unaffected by all forms of torture. They were bound to cave in at some point in time.

The fifth attack was composed of physical attacks that buried Wunris Marble deep into the ground, blocking the vision of his eyes, leaving him to depend on his domain and psychic arms to sense the surroundings.

The sixth attack was by the Spider World, siphoning his psychic energy through his psychic arms shielding the dome, the abrupt action distracting his senses for an instant, and decreasing the amount of psychic energy left for his use.

The seventh wasn't directed at him. It was the two Sky Controller Floating Spiders unleashing their domains, overlapping them over Wunris Marble's, cutting his senses, and leaving him a momentary blankness.

The eighth attack was directed at his barrier, damaging it, eventually sending it flying up, putting Wunris Marble in a passive situation, with no other choice but to defend himself, relying on the superior defence provided by his Unranked Skill.

The ninth attack was by Vu He Su Warlord, attacking his mind through the Tier 5 Skill, Mental Frenzy.

The tenth attack was by the Wisdom Parasite in him, beginning to make him lose control, further stretching his attention span to the limits.

The final attack was by Vi Ha Su Warlord, having used its Tier 5 Skill, Sensory Invisibility. It sneaked behind Wunris Marble, attacking the moment it sensed an opportunity, directing it towards a weakness in his damaged marble barrier. The final attack dealt a mortal injury to Wunris Marble, resulting in his defences getting destroyed under the ensuing attacks.

Everything had been meticulously calculated; the powers of seven Tier 5 Floating Spiders converged upon one individual, stacked under many layers of schemes. The entire battle didn't even take a minute but its underlying complications had been in preparations since long ago.

"Even then, we were only able to kill him the moment his psychic energy had been exhausted." Vu He Su Warlord sighed, holding a rice-grain sized Brain Crystal, feeling its emptiness, devoid of any psychic energy. "Wunris Marble is a formidable foe indeed."

"Once we recover our younger generation, we'll kill the remaining humans here and target the other small parties similar to this one." The Spider World hovered overhead, allowing a voice to ring out, incomprehensible to the human ears. The Floating Spiders had switched back to using their own language.

Moreover, only when they had activated their Unranked SkillGreater Warlordwere they able to speak in Modern Rodawri. Before that, they didn't have the faculties to pronounce the language.

"I don't want to face another Sky Controller from Marble Family again." Vi Ha Su Warlord deactivated his Unranked Skill, turning back into its Floating Spider form, shrinking to 4 metres in size.

The Spider World floated towards the 15 trucks, undamaged from the previous battle since the soldiers abandoned it and escaped towards Marble City, creating quite the distance between the two.

As Wunris Marble had moved towards them, in an effort to defend them, the area where the 15 trucks had stopped remained bereft of damage.

Many silk ropes extended from the Spider World, gently coiling around the trucks, beginning to lift them towards it. It opened a section at its bottom, allowing their entry.

The two Sky Controller Floating Spiders arrived before the dome, watching the powerless soldiers within it, shielded by a thick layer of yellow. It was created through Wunris Marble's Unranked Skill, Marble Sonata; unless he deactivated it and retracted the psychic energy infused inside, the dome wouldn't dissipate. It was a solid object in the truest sense, possessing a physical nature.

The two Sky Controller Floating Spiders unleashed five psychic arms each, holding bladed objects. They hacked and sawed the dome, causing its ends to be continuously chipped. It wouldn't take more than a minute for them to break it.

Within the dome, a Ground Controller, one that reported to Wunris Marble, looked at the situation in silence, feeling his heart lurch. He turned his head towards the Ground Controller in charge of the message transmissions, "Were we able to send a distress signal?"

"No," The Ground Controller in charge of message transmissions shook his head, "All the messages have been blocked by our enemies."

He picked himself up, performing a salute to the other person, "Sir, it was a pleasure working with you."

Before the other party could react, his body shrivelled up, losing its mass in an instant, proceeding towards his bones, eventually leaving behind a flickering brain. "Even though Sir Marble had died, he still left a backdoor in consideration of our lives. I will be eternally grateful towards him."

The brain undulated with faint psychic energy, allowing many mysterious symbols to flash around, forming a beam, shooting towards the sky. It passed through the dome, unobstructed by it, the case being the same for the two domains that had enveloped the region.

The brain disintegrated, leaving behind the beam that shot towards the sky, its speeds unnaturally fast, arriving at a height of 15 kilometres from the ground. Considering the distance, it would take the two Sky Controller Floating Spiders more than a second to catch up.

The beam of light condensed into a sphere, flashing numerous inscriptions of light, emitting a wave. The sphere disappeared upon the appearance of the wave that rippled through the air, travelling at the speed of light.

Everything had happened before the two Sky Controller Floating Spiders could react; the fact that they lacked the methods to stop the beam of light was also at play.

"We have to escape, now!" The voice echoed from the Spider World, filled with a sense of urgency.

"It was done by a Ground Controller." Vi Ha Su Warlord replied, "The effects had vanished after travelling for a kilometre."

"The humans possess numerous Skills. We can't underestimate them, especially the ones that we possess zero records of." One of the Sky Controller Floating Spider said, pausing in its attacks against the dome.

"Too late," The other Sky Controller Floating Spider replied, pointing towards a dot that streaked towards them from the west.

"Just a single Sky controller," Vu He Su Warlord laughed, "And he's not from the Marble Family. Only the Sky Controllers from the Marble Family are of a threat to us. The rest are easy prey."

Having taken part in killing a Sky Controller from the Marble Family, Vu He Su Warlord was brimming with arrogance, glossing over the fact that it was a joint effort by seven of them.

The dot soon arrived before them, accompanied by a domain. Its domain was countered by the two Sky Controller Floating Spiders who unleashed their domains, vying control for supremacy in the two versus one battle.

"Damned spiders!" Ankrakhen Light bellowed, dispersing his shout through his psychic energy, echoing it across the entire region. His expression seethed in rage, having spotted the remains of Wunris Marble, feeling his eyes moisten, allowing a droplet to seep out.

"It is just this old man," Vi Ha Su Warlord sighed in relief, deciding against from activating its Unranked Skill. It activated its Nurtured Tier 5 Skill, ballooning its body, stopping when it was 16 metres in size.

Five psychic arms appeared, covered with mysterious inscriptions. Ankrakhen Light readily activated his Unranked Skill, Deific Inference, allowing him to comprehend the state of the battlefield.

As the two Sky Controller Floating Spiders proceeded forward to intercept Ankrakhen Light, the four Transformer Floating Spiders had activated their Nurtured Tier 5 Skill, ready to attack their enemy should an opportunity be presented. The Spider World though, proceeded to collect the 15 trucks and the dome, beginning its retreat process.

"It is not polite to leave before greeting me." A voice resounded from the sky, the shout piercing into their ears, loud to the extreme. Hearing the voice, and the language used, it was now the Floating Spiders' turn to feel shocked.

The sound was incomprehensible to human ears; but, to them, it was one they were used to. It was their language, the contents of which had stayed within their society, never leaked to the outside world.

Ankrakhen Light hadn't come alone, having sensed the message through his Unranked Skill. Deific Inference had many uses, the ability to transmit information being one of them, despite its lacking capability.

He felt some things through the message, one that had been produced at the cost of one's entire being. It was only then could the message experience a mystical change, allowing it to trespass the blockage erected by layers of psychic energy from the Floating Spiders.

It was also accompanied by memory fragments of the battle, witnessed by the sender of the message. He immediately departed from the truck numbered 0, grabbing hold of a reliable ally to support him, leaving behind 9th Trail in charge of the remaining two Transformers.

Using the extent of his psychic arm's range, the two approaching the scene were separated by more than a kilometre, the separation conforming to the vertical distance. When he arrived at the location, he retracted his psychic arm, allowing the other party to drop towards the ground.

A figure free fell from the sky, making a beeline towards the Spider World, emitting a voracious aura, looking intent to swallow them all. The figure soon morphed, turning into an eight-meter tall bone giant, its appearance widespread among the elites of the Floating Spiders.

"Jyovic Bone!" Vi Ha Su Warlord shouted in rage, deactivating its Nurtured Tier 5 Skill, immediately activating its Unranked Skill, Greater Warlord.

"Jyovic Bone!" A voice resounded from the Spider World, its tone slightly shaking in fear, accompanied by a fluster.
