In the end, Mark, Hanna, and Kilian couldn't get past the Tier 7 grotesquely tough Devil Spider. Only Klaus, Lily, Anna, and Omari managed to kill it.
Surprisingly, Omari was a rather good swordsman—actually, a great one. He defeated the Devil Spider by cutting off all 16 legs and delivering a lethal attack to its head, cutting it in half.
Everyone who witnessed his battle with the spider was stunned. Some even applauded him. His finesse in handling the sword and how calm he appeared while fighting was truly eye-catching. He won himself some admirers after that display.
The next to display similar finesse was Anna. Her battle was short due to a mistake made by the spider. Instead of using the trees, it stepped on the ground, which Anna had turned into water, making the soil muddy.
The moment it stepped on it, the water solidified into ice, trapping the spider for a few seconds. Those few seconds were enough for her to summon dozens of sharp ice shards that pierced the spider's relatively soft belly.
It was both decisive and chilling, yet strangely alluring to many who witnessed it. Perhaps seeing a Tier 7 devil turned into a statue was enough to earn her applause.
Even those from the other regions applauded her.
Then came Lily, the one who earned the nickname "One with the Wind." Her movement from the start of the battle to the end was silent. Her swings were also silent, but they were incredibly lethal.
Those who witnessed her battle wondered just how a human at her level could move like that. She was silent and swift—a lethal combination, to say the least.
But they weren't the only ones who got past the Tier 7 Devil Spider. The three Legacies also succeeded. They all displayed prowess that left many stunned, especially Ethan, who harnessed lightning with great precision and finesse.
He was like the god of lightning.
Max was also lethal. It took him just 15 shots to kill the spider, and all of these shots occurred within the span of 5 minutes.
He went all out, just like everyone else. Well, Ella Duncan was rather unusual. Everyone watching saw that she was still holding back despite going against a Tier 7 devil. However, she struggled, which meant she hadn't had it easy like Klaus.
They had all heard and seen what Klaus was capable of, but only a few had witnessed him fight. So seeing him live like that was a shock to them.
From the start of the battle to the end, his hands never left his back. Many spirit masters, especially inexperienced ones, use their hands to control the needles to reduce the stress on their minds and to add some force to the weapons. However, Klaus merely used his mind to control the needles.
"You think your words can get to me, Klaus? I have heard worse"
Klaus chuckled lightly,
"Oh, I'm sure you have. But it's not about what I say. It's about what you do next. You've managed to manipulate everyone around you, but I wonder how long that will last once we hit the sea."
"Oh, you won't be getting the chance to take the next step, Klaus. This is where you wash out," Ethan said from beside Ella. Lightning crackled around him.
"And what power do you have to make that possible?" Klaus asked.
In response, the people around Ella began encircling him, Lawrence included. Klaus watched as they created a circle around him and his team.
However, instead of panicking, he held a small smile and turned to the three with him. "You guys can head out the moment the barrier comes down. I will handle this first."
"I can't fly, Klaus, so I will be sitting this one out. However, I would like to see how the top genius from the southern region handles his sword." Without even a moment's thought, Omari lunged at a youngster also wielding a sword.
Klaus just smiled and turned to Lily and Anna. "Well, ladies..."
"You go handle those three idiots and their minions. I will handle Lawrence," Lily said before swinging her sword at Lawrence, taking him out of the equation.

Anna looked at a certain young lady also holding a staff. Without saying anything, the ground beneath her gave in, and the young lady sank into the earth. She died without even making a move.
Then, like an ice princess, a blizzard of ice gushed out from the ground, encasing two more members of Ella's side. Just like that, Ella's team was five people short.
Klaus smiled and made a mental note to reward his two girlfriends later. He turned toward Ella, but before he could make a move, She spoke a spell...
"Decipio Manus."
