Wizard starting from shoeing donkeys Chapter 1658 - 573: Final Battle!

"Hurry, stop them!"

Queen Menia, clad in crimson, urged as she prepared to mount the Red Dragon King Straz to intercept. Yet, Rein promptly intervened. "No! This Fiend Demon is also at the Demigod Level; attempting to stop it won't succeed." Rein declared, his high-frequency blade whistling as he fiercely swung it towards the Fiend Demon looming over the Cologne Cathedral. It was his final, desperate gambit—a chance to cleave the fiend and force it into a recovery state. He was on the verge of severing its eighth sharp limb, which would undoubtedly create a critical opening, but this unexpected turn felt like a profound missed opportunity. "Clang!!!" Rein's strike was parried by the Fiend Demon at Cologne Cathedral, at the cost of two of its own sharp limbs fracturing. Meanwhile, Goddess Matilda's azure beam only managed to push back the second Fiend Demon slightly. "Roar!!!" In the next instant, the Fiend Demon at Cologne Cathedral bellowed, its solid black form dissolving into dense black mist. This mist surged and merged with the second misty entity from the Floating City. A terrifying, suffocating aura erupted from their fusion, permeating the entire vicinity! Everyone present, including the Imperial Guardian, watched in dread as this astonishing transformation unfolded, utterly bewildered. Rein’s countenance was exceptionally grim, too. Then, with a sudden turn of his head towards another direction, his expression flickered with surprise and dawning joy! "So soon?" He had detected a signal originating from the distant Hammerfall Mountains. Prior to departing the Molten Spider Nest within the Hammerfall Mountains, he had deployed an energy-detection device, a marvel of Goblin engineering. This device was designed to transmit a witchcraft signal the moment it registered energy fluctuations surpassing the Demigod Level. "Rein, you must take everyone and retreat! I will hold them off for a moment!" Goddess Matilda approached Rein, her voice low. Even an ordinary person could discern the steely determination in her tone. "Understood! Goddess Matilda, please stall them for as long as possible—three minutes, no, within two minutes, I will certainly return!" Without further explanation, Rein vanished into thin air. Hmm? Goddess Matilda felt a wave of puzzlement. Rein's words implied he possessed some sort of trump card to counter the impending Divine Level Fiend Demon. However, this seemed utterly impossible! ... Deep within a Hammerfall tunnel. At the altar of the Molten Spider Nest. "Great Nael Breccan... heed your devoted follower's plea..." A hushed chant reverberated throughout the altar, strewn with various carcasses. "Pop! Pop!" As the chant intensified, the outermost corpses of the Fierce Species adorning the altar began to rupture. Streams of essence blood flowed like liquid towards the altar's core, converging upon the colossal magma spider. "Ssssss!" The giant magma spider underwent rapid metamorphosis, swelling from the size of a mature bull to more than double that, and its growth showed no signs of ceasing. It expanded like a blood-engorged leech, its dimensions multiplying severalfold. The obsidian patterns etched upon its surface subtly pulsed with a maddening, sanguine hue! The 'spider spirit' summoning ritual was distinct from the prior summons orchestrated by Graham at the Isodre School Station. It did not necessitate an Epic-level sacrifice to nurture a clone of the Evil God Nael Breccan. Instead, the ritual required the essence of all sacrifices to be infused into the body of the grand magma spider via a specific altar formation. This process would induce continuous transformation, directly preparing it to serve as a vessel for Nael Breccan's partial descent. "Bang! Bang! Bang!" With the hearts of two Epic-level magma hounds and a magma giant bursting open, vast quantities of crimson essence were swiftly absorbed by the magma spider. A terrifying pressure began to descend upon the area. "Hahaha! Excellent! This pressure... it's at least late-stage Demigod!" Graham exulted, raising his arms in triumph. "Rein, you are finished!" "Not only will the Tutkash School be rebuilt, but it shall also reach unprecedented heights thanks to me!" The magma spider, having undergone continuous transformations, bore no resemblance to its original species. Its massive form expanded to eighty meters, its chitinous exoskeleton resembling melting wax, constantly shifting. Its very shape was undergoing a radical reconstruction! The once stout, thick, red-haired limbs elongated into slender, sharp claws, undeniably capable of piercing a Legendary Knight's shield with ease and impaling them like mere flesh. Another striking alteration was its surface pattern, transitioning from predominantly red and black stripes to intricate, predominantly black, diamond-shaped markings that formed a unique, almost mystical, display.
