Chapter VI
"We've got guests," Rhaegar's keen perception made him sense the presence of the enemy almost as he stepped on the ground, "someone was waiting for us near the entrance to that open cavern. ”
"Are they the ones who have been chasing us?" the friends were convinced of Rhaeggar's insight, "what are we going to do, fight or get out for a while?" Kheim asked.
The team was standing at the bottom of a hill about twenty meters high, and the exit to the temple was at the bottom of the hill. It was about two kilometers or so from the cave where they had entered the temple, and due to the terrain, the opponents who were lying in ambush near the entrance of the cave had not noticed them in the slightest, and if they were to leave, they would not be hindered in any way.
"I think we should show our warmth to our guests. The glint of a predator flickering in Rhaeggar's eyes against its prey, tired of the endless pursuit and pestering, and even more angry at the peep at the temple, he told his companions his plans in a calm, almost cold tone.
Near the cave in the ground.
"How long are we going to wait here?" said a warrior in camouflage suit, lying on the muddy ground, whispering to his companion, "They may have died inside, or they may have looted the treasure inside, while we wait here like fools." ”
"We don't have a map," replied his companion in an equally low voice, "no temple will leave its doors open for others to enter and exit like a tavern, and if we rush in, the only end will be to be killed by the mechanism inside, or trapped in a labyrinth of underground." He stole behind him, where the mage in charge of leading them was using magic to lurk in the shadows of the bushes, "I think we'd better shut up now, those weird guys won't like us chatting here." ”
"I don't like them," said the warrior who spoke earlier, "It always makes me nervous to be around these guys who only know how to chant spells...", a frost missile rained down from the sky, freezing him and his companions into ice cubes.
Before the people around the two poor fellows could come to their senses from their shock, several arrows with a glittering green glow slashed across the night sky like lightning, pinning the four warriors to the ground.
The opponents of the team are all lurking in a circular area with a radius of 200 meters to 500 meters centered on the cave, with the help of camouflage suits of the same color as the ground and various concealments, these well-trained elites completely hide themselves, plus the spells cast by the mages who lead the team to isolate magic induction, if it were not for the geist's innate keen perception of the soul, the team would never have been able to detect their existence.
But at this moment, in the face of the attack from the periphery, these people, who were all focused on the hole in front of them, had no defense at all, until a fireball fell into a bush and turned several warriors hiding there into humanoid torches, and everyone reacted. A ball of light rose into the air the next moment, illuminating the night sky, and at the same time, several rays of light of different colors shot from the ground towards Rhaegar, who was suspended in the air with the help of magic.
A transparent magic shield appeared around the geist's body, fending him off attacks from other mages, and just as the mages were preparing for their next spell, Heim, who had been hidden by Rhaegar with his magic, suddenly appeared from the shadows, and three long arrows flew out of the string almost at the same time. The three mages who had been exposed by their spells didn't even have time to defend themselves before they were pierced through their hearts by arrows from the Aror Divine Bow, and the uncontrollable original energy immediately exploded around their bodies, and the terrifying energy impact affected everyone within dozens of square meters.
The chaos swept through the ambush team in an instant, and the soldiers who had lost their command were at a loss, some of them got up from the spot, clenched their weapons in their hands, but did not know who to attack, and some were still lying on the ground, but they could no longer lurk in peace. This state of affairs gave the squad a perfect opportunity, and these brave warriors rushed into the enemy like lions pounced on the flock, Haim's sword, the dwarven axe, and the sub-giant's warhammer and Willy's two-handed greatsword, four weapons like a farmer's scythe reaping the lives of their opponents, and one by one the opponents fell at their feet.
The slaughter finally awakened the opponent's lost sanity, and they picked up their blades and rushed out of their hiding places, surrounding the members of the devastating squad from all sides, and launched a fierce counterattack against the opponent with the advantage of numbers, Rulin's sword and various other weapons fell on the four warriors of the expedition team.
A succession of rays of light flashed through the sky and fell into the dense crowd, each hitting at least one enemy, and in an instant, a dozen opponents fell under Rhaeggar's magic, a result that greatly relieved the pressure on their companions, and some began to retreat out of fear of magic.
Dozens of meters above the ground, Rhaegar gestured intently, and another magic gradually took shape in the air around him, after eliminating the opponent's mage, at such a height, he didn't have to worry about any attacks.
After a few moments, Rhaegar finally completed his spell, and with his command, fireballs rained down from the sky. This sixth-order meteor fire rain didn't have much effect on those powerful mages, but for warriors who lacked magical defenses, especially those who formed in dense formations, this spell was simply their natural nemesis. Head-sized fireballs fell to the ground in bunches, quickly forming a sea of fire, and dozens of besieging squad warriors were surrounded in the sea of fire, screaming and walking the path of the remaining life full of pain in a matter of seconds.
Two powerful spells in quick succession had obviously consumed a lot of Rhaegar's strength, and he was slightly relieved to look at the enemies below who were demoralized and panicked because of the successive blows.
Two cracking missiles flew out of the shadows formed by the bushes on the ground, one after the other, and in the blink of an eye, they came to Rhaegar in front of him.
The impact of the first missile and the magic shield caused ripples, and the original energy contained in it quickly consumed the energy of the shield, and just as the missile disappeared into thin air due to the depletion of energy, its successor hit the same part of the magic shield.
The continuous impact finally exceeded the limit of the magic shield, and Rhaegar, whose mana had been greatly depleted in the first two spells, was temporarily unable to replenish enough energy to the shield, and could only watch as the barrier that protected him turned into countless points of light and dissipated into the night sky.
Without any hesitation, at the same moment as the shield collapsed, Rhaegar's suspended form quickly retreated into the distance, and with the help of his flying skills, he was fast enough to make the eagle, who was the best at flying, sigh to himself.
However, this speed was not enough for magic, and before he could fly out of the range of the ball of light, a bolt of lightning fell from the sky and struck his body, and the geist fell from the sky like a bird shot by a bow and arrow.
The lightning pierced the magic shield that Rhaegar hastily summoned, but the energy contained in it was greatly weakened, only injuring him, but falling from dozens of meters in the air is not something anyone can bear, if it weren't for the magic that reduced his weight at the critical moment, and the place where it fell happened to be near the sub-giant, he might have died a long time ago.
"Get out of here!" said to the pale Rhaegar as he leaned on Nack's back and struggled to his companions, "They still have mages in the shadows. ”
