Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The driver’s seat was less than 50 centimeters on the right side of the taxi’s passenger seat. After Zhang Lisheng sneaked into the car by using the lizard’s transformation omniscient power, the Indian driver who had his head wrapped with a tangled cloth and an unclear appearance did not seem to have sensed anything about this uninvited guest at all. He was still silently staring at the night ahead, waiting for the arrival of his real guests.

After Zhang Lisheng sneaked into the car, he also consciously held his breath. From the very beginning till the end, he never looked at the driver, lest his gaze made him sense something.

As time went by, the taxis on Kelvin Street started to drive away to the street one after another. Soon after, only three to two cars remained in the same place, including the taxi Zhang Lisheng had sneaked in.

Such a situation made the young man sigh in bad luck secretly as he started to whine in his heart. Right at this moment, a unique footstep sound treading on the concrete road with high-heeled shoes finally resonated from the alley by the roadside, getting nearer and soon stopping by the car.

Then, a woman, whose blond long hair was still very lustrous in the night, wrapped and clipped in black silk with a remaining corner of it hanging in front of her face acting as a mask covering half of her face, who had bright full red lips, opened the back door of the car and sat on the backseat.

This woman’s rash behavior alarmed Zhang Lisheng, who was sitting in the passenger seat. Just now, he could still see clearly from the glass above that other guests would show an invitation card to the taxi driver first before getting in the car. Nobody had gotten in the car as directly as she did.

While he was wondering, he suddenly heard a fascinating and charming voice, “His Lordship really goes all out. It’s only a small festive party, and he actually sent out several dozens of knights and believers as the welcoming drivers. In this case, I think he must not care about the number of uninvited guests at the party. What do you say, Mr. Driver?”

The driver was silent for a moment before replying in great difficulty, “Miss, as his retinue, I don’t dare to speculate on his intentions, and I can only strictly abide by his orders; I’ll only serve invited guests who have invitations. So I’m very sorry. If you don’t have an invitation, then I can’t...”

“Oh, Mr. Driver. Don’t say such cold words,” The woman interrupted the driver’s words in a spoilt way and rolled down the car window. When she saw that another taxi from the remaining few taxis not far away suddenly started its engine, she opened her delicate lips and blew a kiss at that car.

In an instant, a blob of dark clouds rolled and emerged on the air above the taxi that had just started its engine. Before the car wheels were about to turn, millions of black spiders the size of rice suddenly fell from the clouds like rain.

The car sped away and the countless tiny spiders that had fallen on the road smashed into stinky bolognese. However, before the car could reach 100 meters away, the surviving spiders outside of the car began to work together and stick out silk, gluing the taxi firmly to the ground. No matter how the engine roared loudly, the taxi could not move even an inch forward.

After stopping the car from moving forward, the black rice-sized spiders began to spit their webs onto the taxi. The other half of them, on the other hand, began to chow down on the car metal body with a horrifying sound.

It was only then did the young blonde man dressed as a handsome priest who would tend to the gods in the ancient time, sitting in the backseat of the taxi began to realize that the situation had become terrible. Immediately, a layer of heavy yet smooth and simple skeleton armor appeared on his body as he shouted in alarm, “I’m actually being attacked while attending the party held by Lord in New York? Not only that, to think that this is an attack on me, a Heavy Armorer...”

While he was roaring, he wanted to break through the door and show off his fighting skills. However, to his surprise, he saw that a layer of translucent spider web had already covered the car door outside of the vehicle in just a few seconds. At the same time, there were countless horrifying ferocious tiny spiders pulling the spider silk while crawling on the web.

The blonde man’s body stiffened, as a sudden realization hit him, along with a despairing look, “Miss Spider? The hell! This is the ‘Spider Meal’ in the Blood Banquet technique. So it’s actually Miss Spider. No wonder she dares to fight against the Lord... No, no, Miss! I’m not Lord’s retinue. I don’t have the intention of involving myself in your war...”

The guest who snapped back to reality pushed his pair of hands onto the back seat of the taxi. With a counter force, he pressed the car till a loud creaking and breaking sound resonated as he used his entire force to slam into the car door.

With just one slam, the skeleton on the blonde-haired man crashed the door till they tore it to pieces like a piece of paper. However, the thin-looking layer of a spider web outside of the door still firmly entangled him.

Just like this, the guest who mastered the mighty power of darkness still could not change his miserable fate despite using his force in the cobweb. A few minutes later, the small bugs ate him till he became a pile of bones. He was not alone. Accompanying him was the taxi driver who was also a Black Knight.

In the end, everything that they entangled in the web, including the car made of metal and the tire made of rubber, entered the spiders’ stomach, leaving behind only a pure black invitation that fell to the ground alone.

“Even though you’re cold, I’m still quite a reasonable person, so I will not make things difficult for you!” After killing the two Darkwalkers using sorcery as easy as stepping on two ants, Miss Spider commanded the black spiders to form a layer of moving carpet and sent the invitation of the Lord’s party to her hand, “Mr. Driver, it should not be a problem now that I have an invitation, right?”

“We do not label the invitation with a name, Miss,” The taxi driver gritted his teeth and said with a low voice: “Give it to me and I’ll send you to the party. As for the thing you do, it’ll naturally be up to the Lord to...”

“All right, let’s drive quickly. Driver, both of us know that even if the Lord has gone crazy, he’d never have a fallout with me for the sake of two insignificant ‘small pawns’!” Miss Spider’s tone suddenly turned as she said coldly. Her tone differed completely from before, even her pitch had also become different compared to her how it sounded earlier.

The taxi driver froze, and no longer said anything more. Starting the car, he drove on the dark road in Queens, New York.

The car turned left and right in the empty declining block. Zhang Lisheng, who was sitting in front of the horrible Miss Spider during the journey, wanted to keep his body alert as much as possible, but he forced himself to relax as he stared at the constantly changing street graffiti outside of the window, trying not to attract the attention of the other two people in the car.

In fact, even when an ordinary person was concerned about other people’s thought and kept paying close attention to the said person secretly, they would more likely attract the attention of that person. If someone explained this situation scientifically, they would call it the interference phenomenon on a living magnetic field. If they explained it mystically, then they would simply call it a natural intuition.

The car drove for over ten minutes and Zhang Lisheng suddenly heard a sea wave rolling sound in the distance.

Realizing that the Lord might be holding his party on a cruise but not some strange and unknown place, he relaxed visibly. At this moment, the young man suddenly saw a few figures emerging in the middle of the road on the pedestrian walkway in the distance before they shouted loudly, “Hey, stop now, buddy! You’ve run over my puppy!”

“F*ck! If you still don’t slow down and hit me, I’ll twist off your head...”

“You better stop your car now, friend! Otherwise, it’ll be at your own risk...”

It might seem crazy to make up a ridiculous reason while yelling and blocking a speeding car directly with their bodies, but in fact, even if the drivers knew that stopping their cars would just be an invitation for trouble, very few people would directly hit them right away. Deceleration would be the inevitable choice for most people.

For this reason, this kind of robbery was something that did not need any advanced preparation. It was thrilling and could be easily done which made it very popular among the US mobs who were still wet behind their ears. Unfortunately, the young men who were full of tattoos and wearing nose ring studs blocking the car in the cold autumn night sky this time had chosen the wrong target.

Suddenly, a bizarre roaring sound interrupted their arrogant shouts. Then, they saw that the wheel of the taxi speeding towards them had become like plasticine, molded by a pair of invisible hands that appeared in the air to become four bizarre thick monster legs galloping towards them.

Amid their bafflement, this group of mobs had no time to dodge. As their sights blacked out, the monster stomped on them till they became several puddles of red meats and crushed bones.

After crushing a few bugs blocking the road, the taxi wheel gradually softened and slowly returned to as it was before continuing to speed.

Upon seeing this terrifying scene, Miss Spider who was sitting in the back seat of the car took out a slender cigarette from her skirt and lit it before rolling down the river. Taking a deep breath, the red lips that were the only feature exposed under her black silk showed a faint smile, “This fresh and rich bloody taste is really intoxicating. Mr. Driver, I didn’t expect you to be a believer of the honorable His Majesty Lord Ganesha. ”

“Miss, even though I have high respect for His Majesty, the Hod I believe in is the supreme Brahman.”

“Oh, I see. No wonder the elephant legs that you transformed using the Metamorph Spell had such a blurred image.”

Everyone who had some slight understanding of the believers of Brahman would know that even though the believers of Brahman, the highest supreme god in Hinduism, could cast all the abilities possessed by the Hindu gods, their power would be far weaker than those orthodox believers of those gods. However, the driver who believed in Brahman would never dare acknowledge such words.

After a moment of silence, he retorted strongly, “Miss, even though the Ganges River that travels thousands of kilometers has thousands of shoals, it’s the only Holy River that nourishes and nurtures the Indians, just like how Brahman is the only supreme god in our heart. The reason my sorcery is not good is that of my incompetence, not because of my belief in Brahman.

Upon hearing the driver’s argument, Miss Spider immediately explained, “I didn’t mean to deny the great power of Brahman as a great god. I just wanted to say that in my heart, there are many gods in Hinduism who possess other extraordinary divine powers too.”

When Zhang Lisheng heard the words of the woman behind him, his heart could not help but clench as he fisted his sharp claws silently at the same time.
