Chapter 157: A Sneak Attack Behind the Cobwebs! Target Achieved!

Just as before, Dudley activated the Invisibility Charm and the See-through Ability, and followed Eris at a moderate distance in the maze.

Two Acromantulas remotely controlled by the Imperius Curse were ready to go, waiting for Eris to reach the predetermined position to create an accident.

But even Dudley didn't expect that Eris was even more unlucky than he thought.

Before reaching the ambush site, Eris really had an accident.

She cast the Invisibility Charm, walking in the dim corridor of the maze. On the way, she encountered an adult Acromantula resting in the corridor.

Just as she was about to carefully and quietly walk around it, the Acromantula seemed to sense something and suddenly woke up. Its eight pitch - black spider eyes directly stared at the position where Eris was invisible.

And its gaze followed Eris as she moved.

Then... the Acromantula suddenly jumped and pounced, its hideous mouthparts biting directly at Eris.

"Spider Repulsion spell!"

"Protego!"

Eris was very puzzled and extremely speechless, but she still had to take out her wand, chant the incantation and cast spells to resist the attack of the Acromantula.

A strong white light flashed from the tip of the wand, making the Acromantula that pounced on Eris fly back before it could even touch Eris, hitting the stone wall.

But this Acromantula was not a coward. It opened its mouthparts and let out a shrill insect cry, which alerted the Acromantulas hiding in the nearby corridors.

At this time, Eris had canceled the Invisibility Charm because she had cast other spells.

She heard the dense pattering sound nearby. It was the sound of countless Acromantulas crawling on the stone ground and walls.

Her face remained unchanged, because her face was as pale as a sheet of the finest parchment.

But she was extremely panicked inside.

"Muffliato!"

"Scourgify!"

Eris didn't give up. First, she cast a spell to eliminate the sound of her walking, cleaned the strange smell on her body again, and then cast the Invisibility Charm on herself to hide her figure.

Then she quickly left the original place and started running desperately.

She wanted to rely on her knowledge of the maze routes to escape to the nearest safe house first. After the commotion of the Acromantulas subsided, she would continue to act.

However, the ideal was beautiful, but the reality was cruel.

Acromantulas are also spiders, and spiders are born to spin webs.

Just as Eris turned into the corridor where the nearest safe house was located, she saw an Acromantula weaving a semi - finished large cobweb in front of the entrance of the safe house, almost blocking the entire corridor tightly.

Only the lower part of the web was completed, and the upper part was still relatively sparse. The Acromantula was using its abdomen to spin silk to make the web denser.

Eris had no choice but to raise her wand again.

However, the Acromantula took the lead. It turned its abdomen towards Eris, and the silk - spinning opening was directly facing her, spraying out thick and extremely sticky spider silk.

"How could this be?"

Eris watched helplessly as the spider silk wrapped around the outside of her Shield Charm, extremely confused.

These stinky giant spiders, how the hell did they sense her?

While wondering, Eris found that her way back was blocked by four or five Acromantulas.

One of the giant spiders was very sneaky. It was just like the one that had blocked the way and spun a cobweb earlier. It also raised its abdomen and shot silk at her.

Seeing that this trick worked, the other spiders followed suit and shot out spider silk.

Eris was about to lose her mind. Since she was attacked from the front and the back, she used the Impedimenta and Expulsion Spell, but they didn't have much effect on the dense spider silk that was almost filling the corridor.

The extremely sticky spider silk was blocked by the spells, but it stuck together messily, forming two walls of spider silk in the front and back, sealing Eris in.

Eris was momentarily stunned and felt a bit helpless.

After much deliberation, she didn't dare to use the Fiendfyre or the blasting spell. Instead, she cast a powerful cutting incantation on the weaker wall of spider silk on the side of the safe house.

As the incantation of Diffindo rang out, the wall of spider silk blocked by the Impedimenta immediately split into several pieces. Most of it collapsed, revealing the intelligent Acromantula that had spun a cobweb in front of the safe house.

Seeing Eris break through the spider silk and appear, the giant spider immediately gathered strength on the cobweb. Taking advantage of the cobweb's tough elasticity, it suddenly pounced towards Eris.

"Avada Kedavra!"

Eris was enraged with murderous intent. She directly used the Killing spell in her strongest state on this Acromantula that had blocked her way and ruined her plans.

The Acromantula was hit by the dense green light in mid - air. It lost its forward momentum and its life, and fell to the ground powerlessly.

Obviously, the magic resistance of the Acromantula was not as good as that of the unicorn.

After killing a giant spider, Eris, who had been having bad luck, felt a little better. She relaxed slightly and cast the cutting incantation again to break through the semi - finished cobweb blocking the way ahead. She was about to enter the safe house behind the cobweb to take shelter.

Eris took a step forward, stretching out her left foot and first stepping over the remaining part of the cobweb close to the ground in front. Just as she was about to step with her right foot, she suddenly noticed that the Shield Charm remaining on her left leg shattered instantly.

Her expression changed drastically. Just as she was about to pull back her left leg, it was too late.

Once again, a sharp pain came from her left leg.

This time, it was dozens or even hundreds of times more painful than the last time!

The consequences were also dozens or even hundreds of times more serious.

Because last time it was a spider the size of a palm that bit her, but this time, it was a full - grown Acromantula as big as a car that bit her.

"Ah - damn it! Damn it! There was actually another one inside! Avada Kedavra!"

Eris only realized it too late and let out a shrill swear. The sound traveled a considerable distance in the maze and alerted a man named Dudley who was collecting Acromantula venom.

After being bitten, Eris finally saw the situation clearly. Immediately, she cast the Killing spell on the Acromantula that had hidden in the dimness behind the remaining cobweb and attacked her by surprise.

The dazzling green light shone again. So far, the two Acromantulas under Dudley's control with the Imperius Curse had all perished.

But they completed their mission.

Eris fell in front of the safe house. Her left leg was caught in the huge mouthparts of the dead Acromantula, and dark red poisonous blood kept flowing out.

The potent venom of the Acromantula was spreading rapidly through her bloodstream and throughout her body.

Her consciousness was gradually fading.

"Good - for - nothing! You're such a good - for - nothing! Wake up! Wake up for me!"

[Voldemort's main soul] inside [Eris]'s belly kept bombarding [Eris]'s mind with mental transmissions, trying to keep [Eris] awake in this way.

Meanwhile, at a location two corridor corners away, [Dudley], who was invisible using the Invisibility Charm and observing the situation through the Bottle - based [Meditation Water] Monitoring, showed a satisfied smile.

[Dumbledore] had also attached the Human Appearance Revelation magic to [Peeves]' eyes. So even if [Eris] cast the Invisibility Charm, this monitoring device could still track her movements.

Through the monitoring and his own means, [Dudley] watched the whole process and played a part in [Eris]'s current miserable plight.

Previously, [Eris] came across an [Acromantula] on her way and was inexplicably detected by it and then attacked.

At first, [Dudley] was also very puzzled, but after some thought, he figured out the reason.
