Chapter 528 - 283: 7th-Level Magic

"It’s them."

Raine’s pupils narrowed slightly, filled with surprise!

Simultaneously, he suddenly recalled the astonishment in the legion deputy’s eyes when he saw the guard captain transformed by Raine.

"It means they are retaliating for the Hernet Family’s treasury incident, continuously pursuing from behind."

"Moreover, unknowingly, they had circled ahead of him, intending to ambush, but inadvertently clashed with the Urein Empire’s legion besieging the Black Dragon?"

In an instant, Raine almost pieced together the entire narrative.

"No wonder! Now everything makes sense!"

"Why the Empire didn’t pursue the heavily injured and flightless Black Dragon Soron Narretos, turns out it was because of this!"

"So now I..."

Raine looked ahead again at the group of Drow Elves cloaked by the Invisibility Spell as if inside a semi-transparent bubble, his eyes flickering.

At this moment, he had two choices.

One option was to continue quietly following the Hernet Family’s Drow squad, observing the situation’s development before deciding whether to act.

However, the combat intensity between the quasi-legendary Beholder Zergelos leading a bunch of minions and the Urein Empire might be quite staggering. Once he and the Drow squad ahead leave the hidden path, would there still be a better opportunity for a surprise attack?

That couldn’t be said for certain.

The second option, however, was to attack now! In a sudden ambush, he was confident he could defeat the Drow squad ahead.

Of course, defeating them didn’t mean he could annihilate the enemy completely.

Raine was confident that within the first few seconds, he could take down either the Drow Priestess Siriel or the guard captain Narrell, severely damaging their entire team.

However, after that, the enemy could likely scatter and escape, which would draw the attention of Beholder Zergelos or the Empire, thereby nullifying the last bit of opportunity for his scavenging plan.

Raine was somewhat hesitant at this moment.

But when Raine’s gaze swept across the sixteen-grid bag again, he suddenly made a decision.

"I already have the icons of two Drow High-tier Priestesses; if I can successfully kill the High-tier Priestess Siriel and the guard captain, then I can gather four, thereby synthesizing a higher-tier Drow Elf."

"This gain would be comparable to killing Beholder Zergelos."

"Greed overreaches will swallow an elephant."

Understanding this, Raine decided to act.

He slightly turned his body, pointing ahead to the vigilant Meredith beside him, then gestured for a hand sign indicating preparation for attack. Just then, at the entrance of the passage, a dense and deafening battle cry erupted!

"Form ranks!"

"Archers, volley!"

...

The clang of metal, human roars, and monster growls rushed into the passage, immediately attracting the Hernet Family’s Drow squad advancing under the Group Invisibility Spell.

The group, including Siriel, abruptly halted in unison, looking up towards the passage entrance.

Their attention seemed completely drawn to the battle situation at the entrance!

This sudden change, Raine narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking it was a perfect chance, and raised his hand targeting the front!

...

Meanwhile

The passage entrance.

An intense battle was unfolding.

Arriving first wasn’t General Kobataen who saw the red signal flare, nor the Silver Battle Group of the Celestial Wing, but the main force of the Urein Empire’s Fourteenth Legion, just gathered from one side of the Morytan ancient tunnel, descending at full speed.

At present, hundreds of soldiers from this elite legion had already formed ranks in the front, with Shield Armor Warriors forming a solid shield formation, clashing head-on with Beholder Zergelos’ minion army.

The deafening killing cries just now came from these Shield Armor Warriors wielding heavy Tower Shields and Longswords, firmly withstanding the monsters’ army’s first wave of assault.

As the largest and strongest nation in the Human Realm on the surface, Urein Empire’s main legions undoubtedly possess formidable power.

Even the most ordinary soldiers have securely reached Level 1 Classes Level, which in neighboring Human Kingdoms would qualify them as team leaders or higher positions.

But in Urein’s legions, they can only be regular soldiers.

It’s precisely this unrivaled power among the Human Realm that allows the soldiers of the Fourteenth Legion, even in an entirely unfamiliar, dark, and complex terrain of the Underdark, to fight fiercely with Beholder Zergelos’ minion army.

"Roar!!!"

However, amid the intense battle, a roar full of brutality and mental corruption erupted explosively on one side of the battlefield!

The air rippled like semi-transparent water streams spreading out.

The ripples affected the empire’s front Shield Warriors, each appearing as though dreaming of something terrifying, turning into headless chickens, frantically rushing around within the battle ranks, instantly breaking the initially structured shield formation!

With the shield formation broken, the Ogre, Two-headed Giant, and other minions of Beholder Zergelos immediately seized the gap, swinging giant hammers, insanely charging in, directly targeting the non-combat archers and priests, slaughtering and trampling through the crowd, causing many archers to fall into a pool of blood instantly.
