Chapter 515 - 276: Black Dragon! Black Dragon!

Half a day later.

The high-tier priestess Siriel, riding on the giant dark spider, looked once again at the small black spider in her hand, her brows furrowing as she said, "Although we’ve gotten much closer to the target, they’re retreating very quickly."

This puzzled Siriel, as if the target knew they would come after them, but she’s certain that the little contraption made by their legendary mistress Lorina couldn’t possibly be detected by the target.

"Can’t catch up?" Upon hearing Siriel’s words, the guard captain Narrell also knitted his brows.

The two are in it together now; if they can’t capture or eliminate the target, they won’t be able to account to their mistress, and they will definitely be punished upon return.

This consequence is rather serious.

"Less than a fifty percent chance. If I haven’t judged wrong, they should be heading towards the ancient Moritan passage. I suggest we take the underground path and block them before they enter the passage."

After half a day of pursuit, determining the target’s general direction was easy for Siriel, who is familiar with the Underdark terrain.

"Take the underground path?" Upon hearing this, the guard captain Narrell’s brows furrowed deeply.

The eye tyrant is not easy to handle.

No wonder Narrell is worried because deeper underground in the Underdark are even more powerful aberrations.

For instance, the path Siriel suggested traverses through the territory of an eye tyrant, Zergelos, close to the legendary level.

The enemy also has enhanced fighting power in its lair.

Therefore, generally, even he, a high-tier transcendent, would not be willing to risk potential conflict by passing through the enemy’s territory.

"It shouldn’t be a big issue; we’re not invading, merely passing through." Upon hearing the high-tier priestess Siriel say this, the guard captain Narrell hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.

After all, with their current strength, they can at least ensure a safe retreat even if they do encounter eye tyrant Zergelos.

But if they can’t catch up to the guy who stole the family treasure, life won’t be easy upon returning.

...

Two days later.

After racing for two days, Raine and his crew were only half a day’s journey from the ancient Moritan passage. Everyone relaxed considerably, joyfully conversing now and then.

"Sulfur Vine, don’t you feel that this journey has been too dull?" Laisa tugged at Sulfur Vine’s hand, shaking it.

"Dull? Why do you think it’s dull?"

"Do you remember the last time we came to the Underdark? It was so thrilling and lively!" Laisa reminisced wistfully, then her tone quickly dropped, "But this time? We’re just guarding the teleportation array node, doing nothing! Not a single battle!"

At this point, Laisa couldn’t help but glance at the familiar figure with twin hammers hanging from their waist ahead.

"It’s Raine’s fault for not letting the two of us join in!"

Sulfur Vine smiled slightly, gently patting Laisa’s hand, saying:

"Mr. Raine is concerned about our safety after all. And to be honest, didn’t you hear it from Meredith? As soon as she entered Erith, an incident occurred, and she’s been waiting outside the city for Mr. Raine."

"Actually, with our classes level at level 4, even if we went, we wouldn’t be much help."

"Moreover, we did contribute, guarding the teleportation array’s safety along with the Kreit Squad, didn’t we?"

Just as Laisa was about to say more, suddenly!

"Who’s there?"

Meredith, in the lead, immediately halted, crossing her curved swords before her, slightly bending her long legs into a defensive stance.

"Ah, it’s you again."

At this moment, a familiar voice to Raine rang out.

A man-sized fern slightly shifted, and a human wanderer in leather armor, gripping two daggers, emerged.

Raine raised a brow, immediately recognizing the person before them as the wanderer from the wing of Blazing Heaven they previously encountered.

"You’re planning to pass through the ancient Moritan passage back to the surface, but sorry, it’s closed!"

"What? Why won’t you let us pass?" At this, Laisa, agitated, rushed to Meredith’s side, hands on hips inquiring.

However, amid Laisa’s questioning, the young wanderer merely tilted his head without responding.

As the Kreit brothers exchanged looks, Keller Kreit stepped forward with his magic staff, speaking, "Sir, judging by your emblem, you should belong to the Silver Battle Group’s Blazing Heaven wing?"

Upon hearing Keller’s words, the young man’s eyes widened, evidently surprised.

Charles was well aware that this adventurer squad wasn’t part of the Urein Empire’s adventurer group; how did they know about his battle group?

After some perception, Charles found the person before him to be a caster soon entering the extraordinary, his demeanor softened significantly, as he explained:

"No choice, it’s orders from above."

Then, he shrugged, continuing, "In fact, if I let you pass, I would truly be harming you. General Kobataen isn’t someone to mess with.

Already, two adventurer squads didn’t heed my warning, insisting on breaking through. I didn’t stop them, let them pass, and then the Empire... you know."
