Chapter 507 - 273: How Exactly Was I Exposed?
Raine glanced at the sporadic webs in the room, and a spark of inspiration flashed through his mind.
’That’s right! I can try the Spider Web Spell!’
’The room isn’t short of webs, evidently, even if there is some Guardian Array in the room, it absolutely wouldn’t alert because of detecting webs!’
’After all, even the smallest spider has the ability to spin webs.’
Understanding this, Raine quickly raised his index finger and pointed at a group of small black spiders closest to the door.
In an instant, a web appeared in mid-air and swiftly covered down, immediately enveloping all these tiny black spiders.
Because of the power of the Spider Web Spell, Raine intentionally controlled it, significantly reducing both the coverage area and quantity of the web, making it look almost identical in size to other webs in the room.
"Poof!"
As the web with a diameter of a mile gently fell to the floor, the movement of those small black spiders visibly paused, but in the next instant, the nail-sized spiders under the web trembled slightly and began to crawl smoothly and quickly again.
’Eh? Ineffective?’
This scene made Raine raise an eyebrow.
But in a flash, he understood the reason; spiders are naturally unaffected by webs due to an inherent talent or characteristic of their body structure.
"In that case." After pondering for a moment, Raine thought of another method.
Murmuring the Flying Spell, Raine’s form enveloped by the Invisibility Spell gradually rose at the door and floated slowly towards the central bed of the room.
At this moment, the slow movement in the air caused a continuous change of perspective, also allowing Raine to keenly notice that in front of the curtains ring on the bed, there was an extremely fine and crystalline web.
Evidently, this was a method or means used by High-tier Priest Siriel for warning.
This made Raine smile.
Perhaps before, he might have needed a long time to think of a solution, but the small spider just now inspired him well.
As Raine arrived directly in front of the curtain’s left ring, he reequipped the Deep Moss Spider Bloodline into his bloodline slot.
His left hand finger gently stroked the web, like a real spider using its arthropods to open the elastic web without breaking or triggering it, while his right hand took advantage of the gap opened by his left, reached in, and lightly stroked the cool and delicate curtain ring.
Soon, Raine perceived a spot of artificial fracture. After thinking for a bit, his right hand’s two fingers exerted a slight force, and with a cracking sound, the curtain’s ring was opened, dividing into two hollow circular rings, top and bottom.
In the center of the rings, there was a thin, silver-light-emitting object.
Raine immediately rejoiced, cautiously extracting the item from within the rings, revealing it as a spider key crafted from mithril.
Undoubtedly, this was the second Treasure Vault Key!
Compared to the first key, the spider design on the handle of the second Treasure Vault Key varied slightly.
The spider’s left eye on the first key was golden, while the second key had a right eye.
Raine cautiously took the key, then exerted force once more with his right hand, fastening the curtain’s rings that had opened into two half-rings, and then gently released the web with his left hand, beginning to fly backward.
Just then, engrossed with pulling the web on one side and opening the curtain ring on the other, Raine failed to notice when the curtain ring opened with a cracking sound, prompting the two groups of small spiders crawling on the ground to look up at the curtain ring.
This action of raising their heads lasted less than a second, after which the spider group resumed its state, running around the room, thus Raine did not notice anything unusual after exiting the room.
"Whew~"
Raine closed the door again and let out a relieved sigh!
Now, the first and second Treasure Vault Keys were obtained through effort; all that remained was the final step — ’Go to the Treasure Vault, open it, and retrieve the Protector of Emperor’s Dual Hammers!’
Yet, this final step was the most difficult one.
’Regardless if Zaryan’s identity could still be used, but to enter the Treasure Vault, a plan must be carefully devised.’
On the way, Raine had already learned from Meredith’s father, Lunen, that the family Treasure Vault was a key defense area where everyone wanting to enter must undergo piercing inspection by a spider named Bloodline Spider Mother.
Simply put, it meant being bitten by the spider.
In this aspect, even possessing the Shapeshifter Bloodline, he would surely be exposed.
Because it equated to genetic testing; shapeshifters can transform but can’t change the essence of their shapeshifter genes.
....
As Raine left the residence of High-tier Priest Siriel, heading again towards the Hernet Family stronghold.
A slight commotion was happening at the entrance of the family’s main building.
"Not good! Someone might have infiltrated, targeting to destroy the Forging Workshop! Lord Narrell, I suggest you quickly check it out!" Zaryan said with a sudden change of expression.
Having heard the guards’ words, his first thought was that someone was impersonating him.
Coupled with the guards saying ’continuously heading to the Forging Workshop,’ it naturally led him to connect ’impersonating him’ with ’destroying the Forging Workshop.’
