The departure from the city was going well, and most of the people hiding in the corners and in the darkness retained their fear of Mendel and the dark followers, and there was no case of anyone intercepting them in the street.

Mendel was also secretly happy about this, but when he saw the two figures standing suddenly at the east gate, the uneasy expression on his face finally changed from horror.

It's so fast that I caught up with it so easily.

Looking at the person blocking the road out of the city, Mendel sighed secretly.

After all, I was still one step slower. I shouldn’t have been waiting for so long. I should go directly to my father regardless of success or failure. Maybe I won’t be caught right now.

Moreover, if the Dark Night Priestess is here, the thing that the Dark Magician was killed should be true. What should we do? No one here can resist the spells of the Dark Night Elf High Priest, and it is impossible to count on the mercenaries hired with money. Seeing that the momentum is wrong, they will definitely be the first to escape.

After the exit was blocked, the duke stopped moving forward, and the two sides were in a stalemate, while the people following behind were also waiting and watching.

Is it them, the Duke's enemy?

Only seeing the night elves, Legge knew that this was definitely a hard battle.

The night elves who are good at speed and skills are exactly the nemesis of a warrior who is mainly based on power.

In terms of power, no one in this city is his opponent, but if it is speed, I believe it is Kasin. Not all the thief in Xinji Kingdom can compare with the night elves. This is the advantage of the race. The night elves with slightly weak power have the speed of the only species among all known races that are inferior to the shadow demons.

And the woman who knew at first glance was the Dark clan and was dressed as a mage, needless to say, was the dark Truk. It was also the former Grigian death row criminal who had just become a night elf priest who was rumored to have just become a night elf priest - Moya Fassi.

Even though he was imprisoned in the dungeon of the Duke's Mansion, Leg had heard other guards say this name.

He is indeed a very strong enemy, and even a person like the Duke cannot compete, but... For the sake of Jiangsu, I will regain her freedom even if I sacrifice my life.

Even if she dies, she can at least allow her sister who has been imprisoned for many years to live without her prisoner life for more than ten years.

Thinking of this, Leg rushed forward with the battle axe in his hand.

"Spiritual bondage!"

The Dark Night Priest, dressed in a black robe, reached out and released a relatively simple spell.

Feeling his body sank suddenly and unable to move forward any more, Leg pulled out the dagger that was blocking his waist and threw it at the priestess.

"Clang!"

The elf knight standing next to the mage raised his shield and blocked the flying weapon.

Seeing that the attack was dissipated, the orc could only stand there and stare blankly.

"Go on, come on me quickly!"

Under Mendel's urging, the mercenaries and most of the duke's guards drew their weapons and rushed forward, and only a few long-range mages remained in place. They began to chant all kinds of spells, lightning, flames and ice, one by one, flying towards the enemy.

"shelter!"

A translucent spherical barrier visible to the naked eye surrounded the priestess and the knights, protecting the magical attacks from the Duke's side.

"It's a bit strange..." Several intermediate mages began to have a strange feeling. The Dark Night Priestess didn't use her best dark spell? Instead, she just blindly defended. What's weird in the middle?

Seeing that the close-kill mercenaries were close to the distance they could launch an attack, Mendel's inner worries gradually decreased.

Perhaps... it was because I consumed too much magic power in the battle with the black mentor.

If that's the case... maybe, I still have a chance.

Mendel, who was guessing so, was also ready to cast his best ground spell.

He is not only a nobleman, but also a wizard.

"In the name of Sarah, the earth gave me the shield of the triangle!"

After first casting a defensive spell on himself, Mendel then quickly released a second spell.

"Sword of Earth Rift!"

The ground-type attack spells quickly penetrate the ground, like a number of sharp swords that stab at the same target, and the earth element directly attacks the targets specified by the caster.

This was originally a good spell, which was quick and effective in planning the enemy's spell chanting. Unfortunately, the priestess's solid barrier blocked the attack from the ground.

After making a strange sound, the spell cast by Mendel ended because he was defensively connected to the barrier. The unwilling Duke casts the third spell.

This time he used compound spells. Although it was a wind and fire spell that he was not good at, the power of his spells increased a lot with the mages around him.

Seeing that the mages began to emit spells of various colors, the mercenaries chose to retreat wisely. They did not expect that the mage behind them would suddenly launch a spell attack.

After being attacked by a large number of spells, the protective barrier made continuous "cracking" sounds.

"Hell!!"

Seeing that the third attack still failed to invalidate the barrier, Mendel began to be anxious. He took out an arcane bead with a large moon white pearl inlaid from his arms.

"Tillian, the merciful goddess, please give the evil ones peace and silence."

After the spell, a white light shot out directly from the white arcane beads, hitting the Dark Night Priest in the barrier without any obstacles.

As expected...

In Mendel's smug smile, the barrier that had protected all spell attacks disappeared.

"Haha~~~~~~ I'll see what you do this time, the Dark Night Priest. As long as this thing is there, your spell will not be able to be cast." While smiling proudly, Mendel never felt that victory was so close to him.

Finding that he could move, Legge waved the giant axe in his hand and knocked down everyone who was blocking his way forward.

The first thing he had to attack was the priestess who could release powerful damage spells. As long as she was removed, the night elf would be easier to deal with.

"The situation is not good, I'll leave first."

Seeing that many mercenaries surrounded him, there was an orc with a lion head running in the front. The elf knight holding a shield took out a scroll. After saying this, he expanded the teleportation array and disappeared from the spot with a "huh".

Ah... I actually got away first!!!

Seeing the Elf Knight running away by himself, Mendel and the mages were shocked. The former church paladin and the current night priest guardian knight actually ran away first?

Just when he felt strange, Leg arrived. He raised the battle axe in his hand and slashed at the Dark Night Priest who had lost his protective barrier.

Just when everyone thought that the superior mage who was gradually becoming a legend was about to die under the orc axe, she quickly threw the heavy and somewhat inflexible mage robe on the ground.

Surprisingly, she wore two long scimitars around her waist, and the moon-like arc made the mercenaries present have a bad premonition.

With a flexibly leaping, the priestess avoided the orc's slam. When she jumped over Leg's head, she pulled out the two weapons on her waist with her backhand, and one blue and one purple magic blade pierced Leg's strong arm muscles.

After making a painful moan, the orc fell to the ground, his hands were unable to move due to pain, let alone waved their weapons. He could only watch as the Dark Night Priestess waved the swords in his hand and cut down the mercenaries who rushed in front of him one by one.

"This... how is this possible? Even a war priest who can flexibly use weapons will never have such skills!!" Originally, he thought that using the Arcane Pearl that can block spells could make the Dark Night Priest who specializes in spells lose the most proud elemental attack, but unexpectedly, she also used weapons to counterattack. What's going on?

"The king of the night, the lord of chaos, sow the seeds of confusion, and the seedlings of fear. The ring of dullness, depletion, decay, hardship, curse. Spread, the realm of darkness!!"

Just when Mendel and the mages were stunned, a red-haired female mage stood in the middle of the mage team recited a spell that scared them all.

"Dark Realm...you..." After being cursed by the darkness, most of the mages collapsed to the ground. They were eroded by the power of darkness and could no longer cast spells.

"This is clearly a dark magic... You are not a mage, you can use a magic that can be cast by a dark priest. Who are you?!" Mendel, who had a slightly stronger resistance, curled up and moved step by step, trying to climb out of this encirclement filled with dark aura.

"Didn't I guess it? No wonder this is, let alone you, even if Laxis is there, you will be confused. Let Sistale pretend to be me, but this is something that no one can think of."

Mendel could not hear her ridicule from the red-haired mage's smug laughter.

"You... are you the Dark Night Priest? Then that..." Turning back to look at the black-haired woman who was still flexibly traveling among the mercenaries, Mendel suddenly realized that the person was pretended by the Night Elf, and the person in front of him was the real Dark Night Priestess.

"Okay, everyone stops!!"

A shouting, blocking the siege of the mercenaries, Moya, disguised as an ordinary human, grabbed Mendel's clothes and grabbed the shiny arcane pearl from his hands.

"Your servant has been caught by me. Don't resist unnecessary trouble anymore. This guy will no longer provide you with any money, and you will no longer have to work hard for him."

Everyone looked at each other and didn't know what to do.

"If you want to go against the night elves, touch how many heads have you grown on your neck?"

Seeing that the situation was over, the mercenaries immediately dispersed. They would not be unable to fight against their lives for that little reward.

The Duke's servants and subordinates saw that the Duke and those mages were not opponents of the red-haired female mage, so they did not dare to come forward to help.

"Legg..." Taking advantage of the chaos of the situation, Su Nan ran to his brother, clasped his hands together to perform healing spells for him.

Pastor Light?

I saw someone walking around and was about to attack, but when I saw that it was a gray-haired old man, Moya stopped the magic that was about to be issued.

Maybe…I can use that female priest…

With such an idea, Moya dragged Mendel, who was still struggling, to Sunan.

"I can relieve him of the pain and curse that he was eroded by the power of darkness, but you have to do me a favor."

Looking at the red-haired mage who easily surpassed the Duke, Su Nan nodded repeatedly. No matter what she wanted to do, she would agree.

"Sistar, look forward to this guy. I will cast the portal, and then return to Maitaro and the others." No longer caring about Mendel, Moya focused on casting spells that could teleport for short distances.

With Sistale here, she was not worried about what this down-and-out noble could do.

After the white flash, all five people disappeared from their place, leaving only the Casin residents who still understood what was going on.

Glades in the forest—

"What benefits did the Dark Night Priest give you? Is it worth your help? Maitarot?" His hands and feet were tied up, and Kale, whose magic was blocked, looked at Maitarot sitting on the tree stump and yawning.

He didn't understand why this intelligence leader who originally had the information in the northern part of the Eastern Continent helped the night elves.
