He gently shook the container. "That's most likely how that ghost controlled it in the first place. Cold Spiders are incredibly rare. Most exorcists spend their entire lives without ever seeing one. They're exceptionally useful against both ghosts and humans."
Axel's expression gradually became nostalgic.
"Centuries ago, during the great war between humans and ghosts, these Cold Spiders played a crucial role. If not for them... Humanity might not have survived."
Lana looked at the tiny spider with growing curiosity. "They're really that amazing?"
"They are."
Axel nodded.
"Their greatest strength lies in their uniqueness. They don't merely make humans feel unbearably cold. They can also invade a ghost's spiritual body."
His eyes narrowed slightly.
"If the ghost's cultivation is lower than the Cold Spider's own strength... the spider can slowly freeze and consume the ghost from the inside."
Hearing that explanation, Lana couldn't hide the fascination in her eyes.
