In the darkness, a hooded woman shouted at her men behind her.

She was none other than the leader of the team that had delivered the box for Malik, the Chosen One of Xirik, in Calim Port.

Since the box was lost, the woman has mobilized almost all the power at her disposal to find out the whereabouts of the box.

Especially since this thing is prepared as a sacrifice to the Lord of Lies, Xirik, on the "Holy Day".

Unfortunately, as luck would have it, the guild war in Port Calin broke out suddenly, and all forces were suddenly plunged into a melee.

This directly led to the fact that as members of the Church of Cyric, she and her men were inevitably involved.

The fierce confrontation with the Harper Alliance has become more frequent with the expansion of the Church of Cyric in the past two years.

But just when the woman thought that she might not be able to find any clues about the missing box in a short time, a piece of gossip that came from somewhere suddenly popped up.

At first, she sent someone to investigate with a skeptical attitude.

As a result, following the clues provided by the rumor, the ashes and body remains buried under the tree were actually dug out.

It was confirmed that the box was stolen by someone and not embezzled by the team responsible for transportation.

The woman immediately ordered her mages to try to summon the souls of the dead team members, and learned some information from them, which led to this pursuit.

In fact, in her original plan, she thought that she could get the box back with just twenty good men.

But after arriving at Mylatma and witnessing with her own eyes how powerful the chaotic magic storm caused by the [Spell Disaster] was, the woman realized that the chances of a successful surprise attack on Zuo Si with just the number of people under her command would not be very high.

So to be sure, she contacted believers and followers of the local Cyric Church.

Although both parties had their own ideas and plans, they reluctantly reached a cooperation agreement.

After all, since this box can make Malik, a voter, so nervous, there must be something very important in it.

In the eyes of the leader of the Myratma faction, if they could take the box back and sacrifice it themselves, would they be able to win the favor of Cyric, or even deprive Malik of his status as a voter and give it to themselves? Therefore, with the assistance of the local church, they had this team that was quite strong in both quantity and quality.

Especially the two ogre mages and the several ogre groups under their control, the two berserkers summoned from the abyss through cruel human sacrifices, and a seductress that was more than five and a half meters tall and weighed nearly three tons, were all strong guarantees for the success of this operation.

The woman believed that she could achieve her goal with a surprise attack under the cover of night.

She knew very well that the reason why the mage was powerful and intimidating was mainly because he had many means of dealing with the enemy and could deploy them in a targeted manner.

But if you can drag the opponent from a "prepared" state into an "unprepared" encounter, then the chances of winning will increase significantly.

Just as the woman was thinking about how to launch the next raid, the seducer in the team suddenly stopped and stared at a tree not far away.

"What's going on? Why did you stop?" the woman immediately stepped forward and asked.

Since the seducer was not the kind of demon that liked to vent violence wantonly, and everyone in the team had protection from evil, she was not worried at all that the other party would suddenly jump up and twist off her head.

Just the opposite!

Since the members of the Church of Cyric worship evil and chaos, they are very much to the taste of demons.

Some demons even establish long-term cooperative relationships with them.

Obviously, this seducer is one of them.

The demon raised the smaller right arm among its four arms, pointed at a tree not far away and said, "There is a shadow creature hidden in the shadow of that tree."

As a relatively high-level demon, the eyes of the seducer naturally have an effect similar to the sixth-ring magic [True Seeing].

So it can see through all magical darkness, invisibility and other illusion effects within a distance of nearly forty meters.

You can even discover hidden secret doors and compartments, and restore things to their original appearance.

"Shadow creatures? In such a remote place, is it anything to be surprised if one or two shadow creatures appear occasionally?" The woman asked in confusion.

A low-level shadow can be easily dealt with by using [Rebuke the Undead].

"No, no, no, you don't understand. From the moment we left the hills and woods just now, there is such a shadow hiding in an inconspicuous place almost every distance. And when they found living people passing by, they did not launch an attack. Don't you think this is very strange?" The seducer explained meaningfully.

The woman's face immediately changed when she heard this: "Damn it! You mean... these shadow creatures are the other party's spies deliberately placed here? We are exposed!"

The Tempter nodded slightly: "That's right! It seems that your surprise attack plan has failed. Not only that, our opponents have also arrived."

Before he finished speaking!

A row of dazzlingly bright fireballs flew over from more than a hundred meters away and exploded directly where the crowd was most densely packed.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Accompanied by the sky-high flames and scorching flames, those unlucky people who had not yet had time to cast any protective magic or divine arts on themselves, before they could even scream, had already turned into charred corpses.

Even the two berserkers were seriously injured by the bombardment of large numbers of fireballs.

After all, demons are not devils.

They are immune to electricity and poison, and have only a slight resistance to fire attacks.

Compared to the slightly stupid Berserker, the Charmer, who had already sensed the danger, had undoubtedly made preparations in advance.

The moment he saw the fireball flying towards him, he immediately activated the spell-like ability [Gravity Reversal] to make himself and the woman next to him fly up, avoiding the flames caused by the explosion of the [Fireball].

Not only that!

Just one second later, it once again cast [Advanced Teleportation] and instantly hid at the back of the team.

In the blink of an eye, the demon displayed its powerful spell-like abilities to the fullest.

Among them, [Advanced Teleportation] and [Gravity Reversal] are both genuine seventh-ring spells, and mages need to reach at least level 13 to learn them.

This round of long-range [Fireball] coverage attack directly angered the two berserkers.

Without even a second's hesitation, they immediately used their once-daily spell-like ability to summon their own kind.

In just a few seconds, the two berserkers turned into four.

Then the four berserkers cast [Advanced Teleportation] together and suddenly appeared in front of Zuo Si and others.

The next second...

Bang! Bang! Bang! Amidst the violent shock, roar, and colorful glare, the astonishing energy fell directly on Alena and Zuo Si's heads.

Zuo Si was shocked so much that he vomited blood on the spot, but Alena was not hurt at all.

[Chaos Hammer]! Detailed information about this divine spell instantly popped up in Zuo Si's mind. Without saying a word, he took out a bottle of healing potion and drank it.

As the name suggests, this spell summons the power of chaos to strike at other factions.

So Alena, who is also in the Chaos Camp, was still able to jump around as if nothing had happened after being hit twice.

Instead, Zuo Si, who was suspected to be in the neutral or lawful camp, was injured.

If he had not cast many protective spells in advance, he might have been crushed to death by the powerful chaotic energy.

Fortunately, these berserkers' [Chaos Hammer] spell abilities can only be released once a day.

Now, it's time to send them back to their home in the Abyss.
