After all, Earth Binding Spell is not some profound magic, and the ability to withstand Lightning Magic attacks is likely due to Magic Equipment.
Of course, this doesnât mean Lofenya would underestimate the opponent. In her view, a moderate burst is still necessary.
Thus, after casting âEnhanced Spider Web Spellâ, Lofenya quickly recited another Spell. A blue Summoning Array appeared on the ground.
In an instant, amidst the growing blue light, hundreds and thousands of fist-sized fierce locusts swarmed toward Raine.
Itâs precisely the Fifth Level Spell âPlague Swarmâ!
The dense buzzing of wings was so overwhelming, it caused a tingling sensation!
Facing the triple giant spider webs and thousands of plague locusts simultaneously, an ordinary Combat Professional or even most Special Classes with certain Spellcasting abilities would have to evade.
And this was Lofenyaâs judgment concerning the subsequent battle scenario.
At that time, amidst the opponentâs chaos, she would further cast âSpider Summoningâ to suppress the enemy.
This whole set of smooth combos utilizes about seventy percent of her strength, a habitual technique used against foes leaning toward Combat Professional.
But against this dual threat, Raine merely waved the Warhammer lightly.
"Freezing Wind!"
Suddenly!
In an area dozens of meters ahead, white frost mist rapidly appeared. With the Extreme Cold Energy passing through, both the dense summon locusts and the airborne white spider webs were instantly frozen!
"Boom! Crack! Boom! Crack!"
After rapid freezing, the three spider webs lost nearly all their adhesion and toughness, smashing to the ground like glass, shattering immediately.
The summoned plague locusts fared no better than the spider webs, now turning into small ice sculptures covered in white icy layers, crashing down like massive hail!
"What!"
Seeing this, Lofenyaâs eyes widened, involuntarily exclaiming.
This was evidently at least a Fifth Level Frost Spell!
Yet the opponent had not pulled out any Magic Scroll nor used any Magic Equipment, which means the opponent cast it themselves.
The problem is, such level of magic typically requires a Caster of at least Classes Level ten, if not nine!
How could Lofenya not be astonished!
It was like the ant she had ignored suddenly transformed into a beast that could threaten her.
And in the next instant, her pupils dramatically contracted!
A streak of silver light, like a comet, rushed toward her rapidly.
Having just used Mist Step, Lofenya immediately activated the spider necklace at her chest, adding another Erosion Energy shield outside her Mana Energy shield.
Meanwhile, she attempted to sidestep for evasion,
but the silver streak was too fast. With two piercing sounds, the two shields on Lofenyaâs body were breached instantly, and the silver Warhammer heavily struck Lofenyaâs abdomen, sending her flying like a cannonball into a nearby stone building.
"Boom!!"
Dust flew, stones shattered, the roof collapsed!
The Warhammer spun again, flying back into Raineâs hand.
Raine glanced at the opponent, regretting silently, then flashed next to Meredith.
The unexpected attack caused substantial damage to the opponent, but there was no possibility of killing them, given the limited time and Belendaan being their headquarters.
At this moment, over ten guards lay sprawling at Meredithâs feet, two Curved Swords dripping with blood.
Seeing Raine come closer, Meredith immediately tore the Teleportation Array Scroll, and instantly, with a flash of blue light, all three vanished from the spot.
"Boom!"
The collapsed stone dwelling exploded suddenly, revealing a graceful figure in a tattered blue-purple Magic Robe, rapidly rising into the air. It was the Drow Elf Priestess Lofenya, with blood trickling from her mouth.
Her bright eyes filled with rage, scanning furiously and gritting her teeth: "Damned bastards, Iâll kill you!!"
How many years has it been!
Lofenya hadnât suffered such a humiliating predicament, especially at the hands of a human man.
But quickly, she realized neither Meredith nor the human Special Classes were present.
This forced Lofenya to restrain her fury, thinking rapidly.
"Itâs probably not Any Door."
Because the area within hundreds of meters was already filled with guards, and if it were Any Door, the guards would have noticed them.
"In that case, could it be a temporary Teleportation Array, or some other Special Artifactâs effect?" Lofenya frowned.
"Nonetheless, you think you escaped?"
"If itâs not a long-range Teleportation Array, youâll see!"
As she pondered, Lofenya deactivated Flying Spell, descending from the air.
Swiftly arriving at the spot where Lunen had removed his shackles, she bent down, picked up a fragment of magic iron shackles, and glanced at it. Then, began to chant:
"In the name of Goddess Rose...guide the line of fate..."
As the chantâs deep sound echoed, the shattered magic iron shackles in Lofenyaâs hand began sprouting translucent spider threads.
These threads floated like seaweed in the ocean, akin to octopus tentacles sensing surroundings.
Seconds later, the spider threads pointed uniformly in one direction.
Meanwhile.
Lofenyaâs mind flashed with two vague images, one showing a dark cave with blurry figures; the other, the muddy marsh at the caveâs entrance, faint vapors lingering.
"Is this at the edge of Dusty Swamp?"
Guided by Prophecy Spell, Lofenya discerned Lunenâs location through direction and the hazy images.
Clearly, as Lunenâs father is there, Meredith and the irritating human male must surely be there as well.
And at this moment, a mass of elite Drow Guards and giant Dark Fang Spiders gathered in that area from all around.
"Go, gather personnel, focus on the area near Belendaanâs edge of Dusty Swamp!"
"Yes, my lady!"
...
Meanwhile.
Inside Cave Bear Cave.
Lunen, though astonished why his daughter mingled with humans, upon surveying the surroundings, refocused on the hammer-wielding young human.
His mind was still etched with the scene seconds earlier where Raineâs flying hammer struck down Lofenya.
That was Lofenya!
The Breagan Family Warden, High-tier Priest, renowned throughout Belendaan.
Yet such a Transcendent mid-tier powerhouse was effortlessly defeated by Raine, a young human.
"Father, let me introduce, this is Raine, also my..." Meredith hesitated at introducing.
She agreed to a two-year promise, but Raine...
Raine chuckled, taking over: "Also Meredithâs commander."
"These are members of Crete Fire Law squad, Lord Keller, Lord Dylan..."
Raine then introduced Laisa and Sulfur Vine.
"Raine, seems you did remarkably! Rescuing people so soon!" Laisa approached, patting Raineâs shoulder, examining his nearly unmarred attire.
"Well, relatively smooth." Raine smiled, nodding.
Hearing this, Lunenâs mouth twitched slightly. That perilous, rollercoaster-like scenario deemed smooth?
Alright! Escaping successfully counts as smooth!
"Whatâs next for us now?"
....
