Chapter 589 - 318: Debilitation Ray_3
At the same time, the Empire had also set up Guardian Arrays and stationed watchers at three other entrances of the Secret Path near the ancient Moraitan tunnels.
"Drow Elf, nice moves. You must be from the Hernet Family, right?"
Just then, Meredith heard a sharp whistling sound from the side. The Ranger man beside her suddenly raised his hand and fired a red flare up into the sky.
Calling reinforcements?
Meredith’s eyes narrowed slightly. She immediately decided to lure them away as much as possible.
Because a fierce battle was raging inside the Secret Path, she absolutely could not run back that way. So she had to drag off these two in front of her, as well as any reinforcements that might arrive afterward, as far as she could.
Once Raine and the others succeeded, she would then consider circling back.
Meredith spun around at once, her long legs snapping into motion as she sprinted off. At the same time she crushed a Communication Crystal Stone in her hand. Under normal circumstances, whether it was Raine or Leonore, they would immediately receive her warning.
"Damn! A slow trap!"
All of a sudden!
The graceful figure that had been running at full tilt suddenly faltered, as if she were an insect caught in a spiderweb, her movements abruptly bogged down.
Under normal circumstances, as a Sword Dancer, Meredith naturally had the ability to cast Dispel Magic.
But the problem was, an Extraordinary Level Wanderer whose strength was on par with hers had been tying her up from the side the whole time.
That left her almost no time for Spellcasting.
"Clang!"
Dagger and Curved Sword smashed together with a sharp impact, throwing off a spray of sparks.
Forced to meet the Dagger head-on with one hard clash, Meredith’s body stalled again. That gave the other man dressed as a Ranger the opening he wanted, and he loosed two arrows in quick succession.
As a result, Meredith not only had no chance to cast Dispel Magic, the situation was growing ever more passive for her.
Just as Meredith was trying to think of a way to break the deadlock—
Suddenly!
A lump of black-gray iron, glinting with a metallic sheen, shot toward her from one side at high speed.
Having just dodged the two arrows, Meredith’s pupils shrank sharply. Perhaps in the dim environment of the Underdark, other races might not have seen it clearly, but as a Drow Elf, she saw it perfectly.
It wasn’t some big iron ball at all, but an Extraordinary Level Warrior wielding a Tower Shield.
He was whipping his Shield up and down at high speed, which made his approach look like a rolling iron ball.
"CLANG!!"
A brutal crash rang out!
Although Meredith, at the critical moment, executed a cross slash and blocked the Shield charge, she herself was blasted away like a cannonball.
After she hit the ground, she staggered back seven or eight steps before she barely managed to steady herself. To her shock, she realized she had been driven all the way back to the entrance of the Secret Path.
At that moment, with this newly arrived Transcendent Shield Warrior at their head, the three of them quickly closed in and half-encircled her.
"Captain, this Drow should be the one who just came out from inside."
"Mm. There might be her accomplices in there. Cody, go in and take a look." The Shield Warrior who seemed to be the captain gave the order.
Hearing the Shield Warrior’s words, Meredith’s heart tightened and her expression shifted slightly.
She knew that trying to lure these people away now was probably impossible. As long as even one of them went inside to check, they would quickly notice that something was wrong in the Secret Path.
Since that was the case...
"Swish!"
Meredith hesitated no longer. She spun around at lightning speed, toes tapping off the ground, and her whole body shot into the entrance of the Secret Path like an arrow leaving the bowstring.
She had to notify Raine and the others immediately.
