Naomi followed Aphrodite, and they stood at the entrance to the cavern, watching as a large group of hoplite warriors followed Surdak into the cave.

Just as she was about to summon several skeleton warriors to escort herself into the cave, Aphrodite grabbed her......

Naomi was covered in a thick cape and her hood covered her entire face, and she turned her head and raised her face slightly, her pale eyes revealing pinhole-like pupils, and she stared at Aphrodite suspiciously.

"We can stand behind him and help him, but not now, unless you don't care about your image and tell everyone who you are." Aphrodite stood aside and whispered, then she took Naomi's flabby arm and continued:

"Let's go, let's farm them and go in together to see what is hidden in this research institute......"

When Naomi saw Aphrodite like this, she dissipated the aura of magic that had been gathering and followed the hoplite warriors into the cave together.

When entering the cave, almost every hoplite soldier had a pine oil torch in his hand, and they planted these torches on the cave wall one by one, and as the team went deeper, a torch would be inserted into the cave wall every ten meters, illuminating the dark cave.

Surdak rushed to the front of the team with swords and shields in hand, and the dark mages in the cave didn't even expect that the other party would rush in from the outside so directly, and the dark mages crowded in the cave released their magic towards the entrance of the cave.

Shadow arrows burst out from the depths of the cave, it was a kind of magic with a strong corrosive power, but Surdak, who was at the forefront, raised his shield to greet him, and layers of holy light burst out on the shield, and a shadow arrow exploded on the shield, and a layer of holy light flashed on the shield, the impact of the shadow arrow was not large, and the most important corrosive attribute was completely restrained by the holy light, and the shadow arrow could not stop Surdak's footsteps at all.

An aura of strength shone at his feet, and he held a broadsword in his hand.

The Dark Mages immediately changed their magic skills, and the Water Bomb Technique, the Fireball Technique, the Wind Blade, and the Tum Stone flew in a very dense manner in the narrow cave.

A group of shield warriors followed Surdak, followed by a group of archers, arrows flying in the spell.

Surdak shone with the power of the Holy Light and walked forward.

The Dark Mages unleashed a series of Dark Magic, Death Entanglement, Shadow Arrows, Sleepiness, and Weakness flew over, but they all quickly disintegrated in the Holy Light.

Thea and Edgar followed behind Surdak, and Thea continuously blessed Surdak's body with a water shield, Edgar held a large round copper shield and led a team of shield warriors to rush forward with the magic bullets in the cave, and from time to time the shield warriors were injured by the bursting fireballs, or fainted under the impact of the water bombs.

But as Surdak approached, the Dark Mage's camp panicked.

It wasn't until Surdak finally caught up with the dark mage who was behind with his shield that the chase in the cave tunnel officially began, and the mages who were entangled in the close proximity of the warriors did not pose any threat at all, their spells took time to brew, and during this time, the warriors only needed to wave the weapons in their hands to slash the enemies in front of them.

The black mages who were caught up by the shield warriors held up magic shields on their bodies one after another.

The long swords in the hands of the shield warriors could not cut through these pale yellow and pale blue magic shields, and when the weapons came into contact with the magic shields, they would always burst out with a halo of light, and then be bounced off by the light shields.

At this time, the black mages threw out the magic in their hands again, causing these shield warriors to suffer a big loss.

Only Surdak was at the forefront, and he had already killed three first-turn black mages in a row.

Aphrodite hid at the back of the group and secretly cast a spell to puncture the magic shields on the dark mages, and once the magic shields on the mages were broken, they would be immediately cut down by the shield warriors in a pool of blood.

There weren't really many dark mages in the cave, and after Surdak defeated the first wave of resistance, the shield warriors didn't meet a recalcitrant mage.

Chase all the way down the cave to the inside of the cave......

……

"We'll sneak up on them before Duck is in danger." Standing in the corner of the cave, Aphrodite whispered to Naomi.

Naomi found that Aphrodite had just cast spells that were very hidden, and the shield warriors around her didn't know who had helped them just now.

In short, he killed in the belly of the mountain in a daze.

Seeing that Aphrodite didn't care much about her at all, Naomi asked with some curiosity, "You really don't reject a necromancer?" ”

Aphrodite stopped, dragging Naomi aside and letting go.

Let the shield warriors who are stuck behind pass smoothly.

Then he whispered to Naomi, "I'm a succubus myself, so what qualifications do I have to reject necromancers?" ”

"And I tell you, his combat squad...... Aside from an indigenous berserker and a heavy gunman, there were hardly any normal people, two-headed ogres, half-elves, and the Naga mermaid could only be considered a backup player. Aphrodite secretly complained to Naomi about Surdak.

Naomi didn't know what to say at this moment......

“……”

Aphrodite followed the large force, Surdak always in her sight.

Aphrodite continued to Naomi, "Don't you think that with the power you have now, you can live a different way of life and live a more casual life......

"I've never thought of this before, I just want to end the rest of my life quietly......"

Naomi thought for a moment before replying.

Aphrodi continued to walk forward with Naomi, some wounded shield warriors were carried out from the front, and Thea had already begun to quickly heal in the back, and was too busy to lift her head.

Naomi looked at the chaotic scene and asked Aphrodite:

"Aren't you going to help him?"

Aphrodite pursed her lips and said with great disdain:

"If the other party doesn't stand up with an opponent of the same level as him, those black mages won't have any chance of winning even if they sacrifice all of them, especially if he is a second-turn knight with the power of holy light."

Naomi stared curiously at Surdak's back, then at Aphrodite.

Aphrodite raised her face slightly, and in front of the necromancer, she felt that she was very confident.

……

Surdak descends through the cave into the heart of the mountain, which is already at the foot of the Jezipias estate.

Sure enough, there is an underground complex here, and the academic research institute of the Dark Arts Hermitage is located here.

Surdak was the first to break into a cavern hall, where there were many magic test benches, many magic notes and magic parchment were scattered everywhere, some glass bottles and cans were overturned on the ground, many magic potions emitted pungent smoke on the ground, and most of the test benches were full of all kinds of strange materials.

When Surdak broke in, some magic apprentices were still rushing to pack up the materials on the test bench, and many precious magic materials were also quickly collected into the magic waist bag.

Surdak rushed up, and the group of archers behind him crouched down and began to rain arrows over the small belly of the mountain.

Some of the persistent apprentices collapsed in front of the test bench, and some saw that something was wrong and slipped into the cave just before Surdak rushed in.

Edgar's group of infantry warriors quickly captured the first cave in the mountainside.

A short walk inside, Surdak found an underground courtyard in front of him.

Here, Surdak's pursuing legion was once again met with stubborn resistance from a group of dark magicians.

These magicians were obviously stronger than those in the cave just now.

But just when Surdak felt that there would be a hard fight, the counterattack of those dark mages slowly weakened.

Surdak found a gap, and rushed into the underground courtyard with his shield, and what he saw made Surdak shocked and a little dumbfounded at the same time......

The roof of this cave is even inlaid with many luminous stones, and the whole cave is illuminated.

In the center of this underground courtyard is actually an eight-meter-square altar, with a statue of a gargoylee placed in each of the four corners of the altar, and the relief on the pedestal is also a gathering of countless demons, as if they are worshipping something.

In the middle of the altar is a dead tree without any leaves, but this big tree seems to have breathing, and the branches are covered with various blood tumors, which looks extremely terrifying......

All the dark mages stood on this altar, surrounded by the great tree full of blood tumors.

There were also huge pools of blood on the left and right sides of the altar, and there was a lot of blood condensed in these pools of blood, and several tree roots stretched into the pools of blood, all of which were stained with blood.

A mage stood on the altar with a hideous face, his hair disheveled, a magic wand in his hand, and a very fanatical look on his face.

Such people are like fanatical believers, and he forces these magic apprentices to commit suicide under the tree.

"Sacrifice your souls...... Quickly, before you die, sacrifice your souls to the Great Desire. The Tree of Hope. The magician waved his wand and forced a magic apprentice.

Seeing that the magic apprentice was not willing to commit suicide at all, the magician walked up and stabbed the magic apprentice into the body with a dagger in his hand.

The magic apprentice let out a frightened wail, he looked at the big tree in some disbelief, and countless stems stretched out from the trunk to wrap around the magic apprentice, not only sucking the magic apprentice's flesh and blood rapidly, but even the magic apprentice's soul was forcibly detained into the big tree.

With a roar of relief from the magic apprentice, his withered body fell.

The mad magician continued to say to the tree, "Quick...... Resurrect yourself in infinite blood and soul! ”

On the tree, which had no leaves, the hematomas hanging from the branches showed strange faces, and they let out desperate wails, struggling in pain, but the roots were still growing, and they were still flying in the air.
