Time passed about a few more minutes.

The corpse of the troll, who had lost its head and half of its arm, remained motionless like mud slumped on the ground, and for a moment there was only a very light footstep approaching from a short direction except for the faint sound of water flowing in this section of the sewer, but the source of that movement naturally no longer belonged to the adventure party that had already withdrawn from here.

In the dark, the black robes stopped under the leather boots in the place where the battle had taken place not long ago.

The black-robed spectator who had quietly followed Urs and the others all the way from the quest hall of the Adventurers' Guild to this place seemed to have an innate vision of darkness. Her figure, shrouded in robes, seemed to be the size of an elven woman, and a few strands of white hair were incompletely leaking from the brim of her hood—if your eyes could see through the darkness, you might also notice a pair of elongated, pointed ears hidden under the fabric of the hood on her head, but the skin tone of those ears was the opposite of fair.

She opened a pair of dark purple pupils, glanced down at the headless monster corpse, and then withdrew her gaze as if disdainfully, and took a new step along the shore road beneath her feet, the robe behind it that seemed to hide something faintly accentuated the outline of an object in the shape of a stringed instrument and two curved scabbards as she walked.

……

At the same time.

Exploring further into the dark areas deep in the sewers, the adventure team led by the young man has not suffered any attrition so far, but the three of them have discovered many problems related to the team itself in several battles along the way, among which the most important point is that Urs is the only one in the entire team who has absolutely qualified front-row combat ability.

Although Grolayden is a part-time thief with a warrior rank, the warrior class as a deputy in his class structure is actually only one or two levels, and this old man's advantage over pure thieves is that his weapon skills are better.

As for the so-called "Tandu", uh...... You ask a thief who is usually responsible for clearing traps, scouting for enemies, and stealthily backstabbing to have Tando?

Come on, it doesn't exist.

When the number of enemies increases slightly, the veteran thief, who is more adept at long-range shooting with crossbows than in melee combat, is clearly not suited to draw his dagger and rush to the front line of combat to fight monsters like trolls in close combat.

After all, their number of men is still a little too small for the current situation, and the structure of the team needs at least one front-row warrior other than Urs, and one or two rangers or warriors who are flanking rangers, in addition to a decent mage sooner or later.

It is not impossible to consider the poets of the essential oils, who know nothing and are not proficient in anything, but the tavern poets who often wander around the slums must be excluded, because they are not really called official "bards", but merely ordinary "entertainers" as a pre-basic profession for poets, like the gap between a magic apprentice and a formal mage.

The number of personnel in the three-person team is obviously lacking, but fortunately, the individual strength of Urs, Xia and Gloleden is very good, especially the young people who lead the team, and the melee ability to compete head-on with the trolls makes the team's combat quality fully guaranteed.

It didn't take long for them to reach the end of the tunnel, in line with the beggar's previous remark of "going to the end", and found that the passage ahead was completely blocked by a thick wall, but the dark river in the center of the sewer was penetrating normally in the direction of the flow and into the brick wall that cut through the entire section of the sewer road here.

"Illusion?" Thea carried the glowing emblem bracelet, paying attention to the strange scene in her eyes, and blurted out the words of speculation.

In Castaño's spell system, the "Phantom Wall Technique" of the 4 rings of illusion can use the power of magic to create false illusions like walls, floors, ceilings, or similar flat objects. The illusionary wall light created by the phantom wall can be as fake as real in terms of appearance, but any object can essentially pass through it easily without hindrance.

The dark river of the sewers exposed obvious flaws in the wall in front of the trio.

But this flaw is also a little too obvious, as if such an obvious flaw is deliberately sold to others.

Urs carried the greatsword on his shoulder and carefully looked at the false wall in front of him, which was almost determined to be an illusion, and quickly thought of something, and then heard Glorydon answer the girl's guess in a loud voice: "Yes, it should be an illusion, but it is not just an illusion. ”

"Not just illusions?" The priest girl moved the wolf ear on her head in confusion, "Gloriden, what do you mean?" ”

"Traps." The young man interjected.

"That's right, trap." The seasoned old thief snapped his fingers and glanced approvingly at him, "I don't know when the trolls' brains were so good, but this illusion wall is likely to be a decoy for adventurers like us who break into this place, and the illusion of the fake wall obscures our view and the traps behind it." ”

"Like, so-"

As he spoke, he motioned for the young man and the girl to take a few steps back with him, and from a leather fanny pack on which he had placed the thief's tools, he took out a few stones half the size of a palm's hand and threw them forward.

A few demining stones then slammed into the wall with a few bits and pieces - and then, the illusion wall that was blocking it suddenly dissipated, and a suspended skull head appeared in mid-air at that location, lighting up with two eerie green lights, and then producing a deafening explosion.

It is the necromantic 3-ring spell "Skeleton Trap".

Mage 3 Ring Spell - Skull Trap (Necromancy): Remotely sets a suspended skull in mid-air at the designated location, and once a creature approaches, it will produce a magic explosion with a radius of 23 feet, and the explosion will deal negative energy damage of 1d6 (up to 10d6) for each official caster.

Although the Skeleton Trap is not as well-known as the famous Fireball Technique, it is still a real killing weapon in the hands of many trickster spellcasters.

Behind the dissipating illusion false wall, a new shore path stretched forward in the eyes of Urs, Thea, and Groeldon, and the pavement of that shore road was now crowded with several ugly and tall trolls, the leader of whom was holding a long staff, and his slender stature was a little shorter than the rest of his life around it.

Urs recognized the other at a glance.

It is the Troll Witch Doctor named Govdo, the leader of the spellcaster monster who led a small horde of trolls in the depths of the sewers of Twilight during the Year of the Candlelight.
