Chapter 870 - Trap (1/2)

Wagner was very high-strung. He gnashed his teeth and started rousing his mana, intending to escape.

On the side, Xiuban had already silently appeared beside Wagner, casually crushing the latter’s Mana Shield before grabbing him by the neck and tossing him towards the spider puppet.

“Damned fool! Sir Merlin told you to do something, yet you actually dared to ignore him. If not for Sir Merlin being benevolent, I would have already snapped your neck…”

Xiuban leaned Carnage against his back as he fiercely chastised Wagner.

Wagner fell to the ground in despair and started running back without thinking.

Just as he ran out of the spider puppet’s defensive perimeter, Xiuban kicked him back inside.

After the third time, Lin Yun said one word: “Idiot.”

Wagner was terrified, and tears started appearing on his face.

“Sir Merlin, what do you want? Just speak and I’ll do as instructed. I can give you all that was plundered before, and I have many pieces of information on the Odin Kingdom, I’ll tell you everything!”

Lin Yun was speechless. Wagner, who was already so scared that he had soiled his pants, kept scrambling out before being kicked back by Xiuban.

After six times, something suddenly occurred to Wagner. He turned around to take a look, finding out that the spider puppet hadn’t moved at all.

Wagner was stunned. He couldn’t understand.

Lin Yun didn’t seem surprised as he thought, ‘Sure enough, that spider’s first order was to not attack anyone with Bill George’s bloodline.’

He walked a bit closer to the statue-like spider puppet and it instantly opened its eyes, surging with mana fluctuations as a bright ray of light was shining within its mouth.

Lin Yun rapidly arrived beside Wagner and a few runes flickered within his hands as he moved Wagner in front of him.

The spider puppet instantly stopped in its footsteps, cancelling all its attacks.

“Sir Merlin, please speak if you have something to say, what are you doing? Let go of me, quickly!”

Wagner looked terrified and his body was shaking.

Lin Yun frowned and shouted, “Don’t speak. Rest assured, I won’t let you die, but if you don’t want to anger me, don’t mess around.”

Wagner looked alarmed, but when he saw that the spider puppet hadn’t attacked, he could only confusedly listen to Lin Yun’s words.

Lin Yun held Wagner and kept walking towards the spider puppet. After walking a few meters, the spells summoned by the spider puppet had completely dissipated, and the runes on its body started flickering irregularly.

As Lin Yun led Wagner closer and closer, the frequency at which the spider puppet’s runes flickered kept increasing.

By the time Lin Yun and Wagner were within ten meters of it, the runes looked ready to explode.

Suddenly, the spider puppet shook and its runes darkened.

That terrifying surge of mana had also dissipated.

Lin Yun sighed in relief and let go of Wagner. Wager fell and sat on the ground, feeling scared. He was staring foolishly at the motionless puppet while mumbling, “Sir Merlin, what’s going on…”

Lin Yun ignored him, feeling relieved.

Because of contradicting orders, that spider puppet had fallen into an infinite loop.

It couldn’t attack Bill George’s bloodline, but it was supposed to kill anyone that got too close to it. Its first and second commands were thoroughly conflicting with each other, and the spider puppet didn’t know which one it was supposed to follow.

Without an outside force solving this, the puppet would just sink into an endless loop.

Lin Yun waved to the others and they all joined him. This time, the puppet didn’t react.

Xiuban was looking at the puppet with amazement when Lin Yun sneered, “If you don’t want to die, you’d better not touch it.”

Xiuban instantly jumped several meters backward, shaking his head in alarm.

That spider puppet wasn’t actually damaged; it was just stuck in a loop. If anyone attacked it, it would break out of the loop, and at that time, everyone would become a target, including Wagner.

Lin Yun glanced at Wagner and derisively said, “You can touch that huge thing, but after coming to life again, the first one it’ll get rid of will be you. If you don’t believe me, you can go ahead and try it out.”

Wagner turned pale. He had just thought about examining it.
