The man’s voice had not yet faded when his arm suddenly shot up, pointing straight at the corner where Seraphina and the other three were.
In an instant, all eyes in the entire underground chamber focused on them in unison!
The previous participants who had been conversing in low voices now erupted with undisguised hostility!
There wasn’t even a hint of doubt!
“Capture those four people! Tear off their disguises and let me see who is so bold as to infiltrate this place!”
The man’s voice was shrill, carrying a sense of madness.
Those dozen or so thugs wielding sharp blades immediately pounced forward like wolves and tigers!
Saint Eustacia wanted to take out her staff, but she couldn’t act at this moment.
Once it caused too much commotion, it would directly trigger panic.
Although she wasn’t sure about the situation outside, whether they had already decided to fight to the death.
But at least she guessed it wouldn’t be like that.
From an outsider’s perspective, there was no need to risk having this key stronghold wiped out in one go just because of these few people, causing too much commotion.
That man was indeed thinking the same way.
It wouldn’t be too late to pass on the message once he confirmed something was wrong.
She raised her hand, and several fine needle-like white lights shot out.
However, no matter what, Saint Eustacia still restrained her impulse!
The light arrows accurately struck the wrists and cheeks of the foremost thugs, but only grazed the skin, leaving shallow blood traces and a burst of stinging pain.
Saint Eustacia’s attention was far from just on these few thugs.
She also had to suppress Movira beside her, who had already gripped her sword hilt tightly.
“Calm down! Try to resolve the battle with as little commotion as possible!”
Seraphina was completely protected behind everyone, gradually retreating toward the corner until she was pressed against the cold rock wall.
She also wanted to do something, but that powerful suppression field was like a mountain weighing ten thousand jun, pressing the magic power in her body so it couldn’t move an inch!
She could only watch helplessly, clenching her fists in vain.
The man on the stage saw their weak and powerless resistance clearly, further confirming his inner guess.
They were probably powerful mages, but here… it was useless!
The ecstasy and contempt on his face were both exaggerated.
He was completely a natural speaker skilled at stirring up the atmosphere!
“See that? Brothers and sisters, with just this little ability, they truly don’t know their own limits!”
“How about we use their heads as sacrifice before tonight’s main topic begins?!”
His words greatly encouraged the participants below, including the thugs.
They let out bursts of charging laughter, pressing forward step by step, forming a semicircular encirclement.
Seeing how weak the other side was, they immediately grew bolder and launched their charge.
Faced with these unfriendly gazes, Movira seemed to be able to feel Seraphina’s trembling body!
Even though they weren’t in direct contact at the moment…
A clear and resonant sword cry tore through the air as that pitch-black longsword left its sheath and fell into Movira’s hand.
“Movira!” Saint Eustacia warned in a low voice, but it was too late.
However, fortunately, Movira still maintained her reason and didn’t use Demon Realm magic that wasn’t suppressed.
Since the strongest combat power had already been exposed, it was courting death!
It was just stubborn resistance!
That man was not surprised but delighted.
In his view, the other party was currently just putting up a desperate struggle.
He shouted an order, and all the cold glints of sword edges immediately shot toward Movira!
When the clang clang clang sounds of sword blades colliding rang out, they realized they had completely underestimated the terror of the person before them.
Even without any magic enhancement, relying purely on Movira’s swordsmanship, these few scraps couldn’t compare!
Accompanied by sounds of pain, it wasn’t Movira’s, but the muffled groans of those nineteen thugs!
Clearly besieged by more than ten people, Movira still appeared as if strolling leisurely in a courtyard.
Even several times when she clearly could have taken the enemies’ lives, she held back.
Because she sensed that the entire underground chamber was gradually being wrapped by a force she couldn’t even understand.
She wanted to boil the frog in warm water!
To give the enemy the appearance that they could kill her, yet they couldn’t get close no matter what.
While sword lights intertwined in front, Seraphina was so nervous her heart almost jumped out.
Her gaze followed Movira’s moving figure, afraid that the other party would be injured by attacks from unknown places.
However, just as Saint Eustacia was starting to show a difficult expression, Seraphina’s peripheral vision caught Astraea beside her bowing down, stroking a small grass stubbornly growing from a crack in the rock wall.
“Astraea, you… what are you doing?”
Seraphina couldn’t help but ask in a low voice, and she was also a bit annoyed.
Of all times!
Astraea didn’t answer, but kept muttering to herself, saying things Seraphina couldn’t understand.
Seeing that more than ten people couldn’t take down one person, a fierce glint flashed in the man’s eyes.
A staff embedded with a dark red gem suddenly appeared in his hand!
“You bunch of trash! Get out of the way!”
He shouted loudly, and a twisted blood-colored energy shot directly toward Movira’s back!
“Sister, be careful!”
Seraphina’s attention was instantly pulled back, and she cried out in alarm, her face deathly pale.
Seraphina was worried.
The energy contained in this attack was pitifully little.
If not to avoid… But this attack looked so slow in Movira’s eyes.
The blood-colored energy struck the sword body and then dissipated, not even causing Movira’s figure to sway.
Bang!
She didn’t even bother to block it.
The man obviously knew his own magic attainments and wasn’t surprised by this.
What caught his attention was the “sister” Seraphina had shouted out in her urgency.
He took the opportunity to mock, “Sister? Hah! Does this country have no one else? Sending a pair of sisters to carry out this kind of mission? Ridiculous! I’m getting more and more curious about what kind of moving faces are under those hats!”
The skin on his face twisted into an arrogant, lecherous grin.
“Heh heh heh! All of you, attack together! Let’s see how many she can protect!”
In an instant, dozens of hidden mages in the crowd attacked simultaneously.
In a flash, fireballs, ice cones, wind blades… dense, multicolored lights of various hues illuminated the entire underground space in a bizarre and dazzling manner.
Faced with this overwhelming attack, Seraphina closed her eyes in fear.
She couldn’t imagine how Movira would block it!
Because… she didn’t have a completely clear definition of her sister’s strength.
However, there was no need for Movira to resist it personally.
At that moment, Astraea, who had been stroking the grass in the wall crack, suddenly raised her head.
In those eyes, the original gentleness had completely disappeared, replaced by some kind of ancient and majestic expression.
All things… grow together with me! (Elven)
All things… grow together with me! (Elven)
Rumble—!!
The entire underground space shook violently, as if some terrifying power was awakening.
Cracking sounds came from within the hard rock walls all around.
Something was about to break through the earth!
