Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 157 The Sneak Attack Behind the Spider Web! Objective Achieved!

As before, Dudley activated 'Invisibility' and 'Insight', and followed Eckeris at a distance within the maze.

The two eight-eyed giant spiders, remotely controlled by the Soul Reaper Curse, are poised to strike, waiting for Ecclesia to arrive at the designated location before creating an accident.

Even Dudley didn't expect that Ecclesia would be even more unlucky than he imagined.

Before even reaching the ambush site, Eckeris encountered a real accident.

She activated her illusion spell and walked through the dimly lit maze corridors, where she encountered an adult eight-eyed giant spider resting in one of the corridors.

Just as they were about to carefully and stealthily go around it, the eight-eyed giant spider seemed to sense something and suddenly woke up, its eight dark spider eyes looking directly at the location where Eckeris was hiding.

And follow Eckeris's movements with your gaze.

Then... the eight-eyed giant spider suddenly leaped and pounced, its ferocious mandibles biting directly at Ecris.

"Spiders, begone!"

"Armor protects you!"

Eccles was puzzled and speechless, but she still had to take out her wand and cast a spell to defend against the eight-eyed giant spider's attack.

A burst of intense white light flashed from the tip of the wand, causing the eight-eyed giant spider that was pouncing on Ecris to fly back and crash into the stone wall before it could even reach her.

But this giant eight-eyed spider was no coward either. It opened its mouthparts and emitted a shrill insect chirp, startling the giant eight-eyed spiders lurking in the nearby corridor.

At this moment, Ecclesiah broke free from the illusion spell by casting another spell.

She heard a dense pattering sound coming from nearby, the sound of countless eight-eyed giant spiders crawling on the stone ground and walls.

Her expression remained unchanged, for her face was already deathly pale, as white as the finest sheet of paper.

But I was incredibly panicked inside.

"Silent and without a trace!"

"Completely cleaned up!"

Eckeris did not give up. She first cast a spell to eliminate the sound of her own walking, then cleaned herself of the odor, and finally cast an illusion spell to conceal her form.

He then quickly left the spot and started running.

She planned to use her knowledge of the maze to escape to the nearest safe house first, and then continue her mission once the commotion by the giant spiders subsided.

However, ideals are beautiful, but reality is cruel.

The giant eight-eyed spider is also a spider, and spiders are born to spin webs.

As soon as Eckeris turned into the corridor where the nearest safe house was located, she saw an eight-eyed giant spider weaving a half-finished large spider web in front of the safe house entrance, almost completely blocking the entire corridor.

The lower half of the web was completed, but the upper half was still relatively sparse. The eight-eyed giant spider was using its abdomen to spin silk to make the web denser.

Ecclesia had no choice but to raise her wand again.

However, the eight-eyed giant spider beat Eckeris to it, turning its abdomen to face her and spraying out thick, sticky spider silk.

How could that be?

Erkris watched helplessly as the spider silk tangled around the outside of her Ironclad Shield, utterly bewildered.

How exactly did these stinky giant spiders sense her?

Just as she was wondering what was going on, Eckeris discovered that her escape route had been cut off by four or five giant eight-eyed spiders.

One of the giant spiders, just as cunning as the one that had blocked her path and spun its web, also raised its abdomen and spun silk towards her.

Seeing that this trick worked, the others followed suit and started shooting out spider silk.

Ecclesia was on the verge of collapse. She was attacked from all sides and used Barrier Charms and Spider Repeller Charms, but they had little effect on the dense spider silk that was about to fill the corridor.

Although the extremely sticky spider silk was blocked by the power of the spell, it stuck together in a messy manner, forming two walls of spider silk, one in front and one behind, sealing Eckeris in place.

Ecclesia was momentarily stunned, somewhat at a loss.

After much deliberation, she didn't dare use the Fire Charm or the Explosion Charm. Instead, she cast a Powerful Cutting Charm on the relatively weak spiderweb wall on the safe house side.

As the incantation 'Crush and Split' rang out, the spider silk wall that had been blocked by the Barrier Charm immediately cracked into several pieces and collapsed, revealing the intelligent eight-eyed giant spider that had been weaving its web in front of the safe house.

When the giant spider saw Eckeris break through the web and reveal herself, it immediately gathered its strength in the web and, using the web's tough elasticity, pounced on Eckeris.

"Avada Kedavra!"

Enraged, Erkris unleashed her killing intent and used her strongest killing spell on the eight-eyed giant spider that had blocked her way and ruined her plans.

The eight-eyed giant spider was struck by a dense green light in mid-air, losing its momentum and life, and fell helplessly to the ground.

Clearly, the magic resistance of the eight-eyed giant spider is not as good as that of the unicorn.

Killing a large spider brought some relief to Erkris, who had been plagued by bad luck. With a slight sense of ease, she cast another cutting spell, breaking through the half-finished spider web blocking her path, and prepared to seek refuge in the safe house behind it.

Erkris took a step, extending her left foot to step over the remaining section of spiderweb close to the ground. Just as she was about to step with her right foot, she suddenly noticed that the remaining Ironclad Charm shield on her left leg shattered instantly.

Her expression changed drastically, and she was about to pull her left leg back, but it was too late.

She felt a sharp pain in her left leg once again.

This time, it will hurt dozens or even hundreds of times more than the last time!

The consequences would be dozens or even hundreds of times more severe.

Because last time it was bitten by a tiny spider the size of a palm, but this time it was bitten by a real adult eight-eyed giant spider the size of a car wheel.

"Ah—damn it! Damn it! There's another one inside! Avada Kedavra!"

Ecclesia, belatedly realizing what was happening, let out a piercing curse that carried a considerable distance through the maze, startling a man who was collecting venom from an eight-eyed giant spider.

After being bitten, Ecclesia finally realized what was happening and immediately cast a killing curse on the giant eight-eyed spider that had ambushed her from the dim light behind the remaining spider web.

The dazzling green light shone again, and at this point, both of the eight-eyed giant spiders that Dudley had controlled with the Imperius Curse were sacrificed.

But their mission is also complete.

Eckeris collapsed in front of the safe house, her left leg trapped in the massive mouthparts of the dead eight-eyed giant spider, from which dark red venomous blood continuously oozed.

The giant spider's potent venom was rapidly spreading throughout her body via her bloodstream.

Her consciousness was gradually fading.

"Useless! Useless! Wake up! Wake up!"

Voldemort's main spirit, located inside Ecclesia's belly, continuously bombarded Ecclesia's mind with telepathic messages, attempting to maintain her conscious state in this way.

Meanwhile, two corridor corners away, Dudley, who was invisible using the Disillusionment Charm and observing the situation using the 'Meditation Water in a Bottle', revealed a satisfied smile.

Peeves' eyes were also imbued with the 'Reveal' spell by Dumbledore, so even if Ecclesia used the Disappearance Charm to become invisible, the surveillance system could still detect her movements.

Dudley, through surveillance and his own means, witnessed and facilitated Ecclesia's current tragic end.

Previously, Eckeris encountered an eight-eyed giant spider on the road and was inexplicably detected and attacked by the spider.

Dudley was puzzled at first, but after thinking about it for a while, he figured out the reason.
