"It... can't be, how can you use such powerful magic directly?" Greed's eyes were full of disbelief. "Even a lich would need half a minute to charge up for a high-level spell like that, but you just need to wave your hand... How did you manage to do it?"

"Well..." I shrugged. "Ordinary people indeed can't do it, but think about it, would ordinary people come to the abyss to chat with a demon king?"

"...," Greed was puzzled for a moment, then said in resignation, "Now I understand why the demon king needed me to bring you guys to launch a surprise attack from the rear. I initially thought it was just because the demon king had a good relationship with you and wanted you to achieve something in the abyss. But I didn't expect... the demon king really intends to set the opponent's backyard on fire."

"Good to know, shall we move on then?"

"Yes."

It seemed that the cave had been completely frozen by spiders, with the originally earthen cave surface now directly covered in ice. Originally capable of sealing a legion with miles of ice, the incredibly strong magic was compressed in a space like a cave, instantly filling the entire cavern. Although not knowing the size of this cavern, it had already completely become a cave inhabited by polar bears at this point.

"The direction is this way."

The spider den was meticulously crafted by the spiders, with the entire space hollowed out and numerous stone pillars supporting the cave. We walked in the direction of the exit for a while and found an upward passage.

"It seems that we need to go upward from here. Perhaps there was a passage built upward before the spider den, or for some other reason. It looks like from here on, we'll be going up. Let's go, I think we're getting close to the enemy camp."

Just as we were saying this, Oyado and Taishi Xi suddenly became alert.

"Be careful, there are people!"

With their warning, we quickly hid behind an ice column nearby. After a while, several titles and names appeared on the other side of the entrance, indicating that they were likely enemy warriors.

Perhaps they noticed some anomaly in the spider den? And thus sent people down?

I smiled bitterly, changed the magic crystal of the spellbook, and hung it on my waist. Then, I took out the "blasphemer" that I obtained from Liejiao. Although the dagger part was a bit damaged, it was still the wand that I felt more comfortable using.

"Honestly," Bai Yueguang next to me looked at the weapon in my hand and said, "This weapon looks more like a spear, don't you know about the luck of spear users?"

"How on earth can you mistake a magic wand for a spear with your eyesight? This wand is obviously not as long as your katana, how did you misinterpret it?"

"After all... your wand consists of a long staff with a dagger at the top."

"...," I looked at Bai Yueguang speechlessly. At that moment, the enemies reached the entrance of the cave. Shortly after, the ice at the entrance was smashed with a hammer, and a werewolf wielding a giant hammer jumped in.

"My goodness, how did this spider den turn all icy?" the werewolf exclaimed. "Jeff, report to the commander that there is a new owner here, probably an advanced ice-type magic beast. The spiders here... most of them were killed without even reacting, tell the commander to seal off this passage or we'll be in danger."

"We absolutely cannot let them do this!" I whispered to the people next to me.

"Who!"

The werewolf's hearing was indeed sharp. Despite speaking very quietly, he still heard me.

"Go!"

Before I could even finish my welcome, several figures beside me rushed out. Oyado appeared directly behind the werewolf, a dagger in hand, and with a swift motion, the werewolf's body froze for a moment before falling apart.

Bai Yueguang dashed into the entrance in one step, a flash of his blade, and I saw several titles inside the passage disappear instantly.

As Bai Yueguang emerged from the passage, Greed suddenly appeared beside us, holding a werewolf's head in his hand.

"Don't bring that thing over here, it's gross."

"Oh, old habits die hard, my bad."

Greed tossed it aside and then looked at us.

"What should we do now?"

"Let's go up, what else can we do?"

"I took a glance at the passage just now, it seems there are still many enemy soldiers outside. If we want to break out, this will no longer be infiltration but a head-on battle."

"Isn't it normal to turn a sneak attack into an open battle? Well, I have a plan."

"What plan?"

"Didn't they say there's a high-level ice-type monster in here?"

"Yeah."

"Then let's give them one."

"..."

Greed looked at me in disbelief once again.

"What kind of demon are you, able to come up with everything?"

I smiled at her.

"Just a wild imagination."

Two minutes later, outside the central army camp of the rebel forces

A squad of werewolf soldiers was gathered around a small hole.

One soldier looked at a higher-ranking werewolf and asked,

"Leader, Jeff and the others have been down there for quite some time. There was some noise earlier, but now it's completely quiet. Could they be in danger?"

"It shouldn't be..."

The leader-like werewolf said.

"After all, they are among our more experienced soldiers. Even if they die, they should send a signal, right?"

"That makes sense... Huh?"

Suddenly, they felt the ground trembling.

"Leader! This..."

"All personnel, be on guard, move back!"

Just as he shouted, a loud roar came from the hole, and countless ice snakes spewed out from the opening, attacking the werewolves around.

"Defend, fall back!"

The werewolf leader shouted as he fought off the ice snakes.

However...

Nearly ten meters underground, I was holding a staff, aiming towards the hole.

"I still remember the summoning of dark magic."

"Exactly..."

Greed said.

"You are definitely a monster."
