Chapter 803 Dark Elf
In the underground city passage,

The exploration team from the Pan-Continental Mage Association, who were originally preparing to rest, immediately tensed up and looked back at the passage behind them.

Everyone was somewhat surprised to see the weapon gripped tightly in their hands.

After all, this was the first time they had discovered an unknown danger actively approaching them since they had been back in the underground city for so long.

This situation has never been encountered before.

However, the rest of the team had no doubts about Pascal's warning.

Although Pascal is young, he is the strongest member of their exploration team.

More importantly, Pascal was extremely skilled in detection and early warning spells.

Pascal's abilities had saved the team several times during their exploration of other secret realms.

Moreover, they were well aware that Pascal had left various warning magic arrangements along the way to guard against possible enemies from behind.

Such early warning methods cannot be triggered by ordinary falling rocks or a slight breeze.

In other words, there really are people or monsters approaching them.

Pascal also took out a pale blue staff and looked warily behind him.

All of this happened quite suddenly, and it was also somewhat bizarre.

Although the various passages in the underground city were quite complex, Pascal was still able to remember the general layout.

Especially the direction they were heading.

Every hundred meters or so she would leave a warning spell on the rocky path beside her.

Just now, her warning spell, which she had left two hundred meters behind her, was directly triggered.

As a Gold-rank mage, Pascal was quite cautious.

Those who are not careful and meticulous will not survive long in an exploration team.

As members of the Pan-Continental Mage Association's exploration team, they often venture into extremely dangerous places.

Pascal thus developed this habit.

Although she would set up a warning spell every hundred meters, she would secretly use another warning spell to set it up again every longer distance.

She had exchanged quite a few similar warning spells from the Pan-Continental Mage Association.

What was just triggered was a special early warning spell she had secretly set up.

The ordinary warning spells placed every hundred meters had no effect.

Pascal remembers it clearly, although the underground passages along the way had many different directions and intersections from time to time.

However, the area in front of and behind the location where the warning spell was triggered is a straight rock passage for hundreds of meters, so there is no possibility of other magical beasts breaking in along the way.

So, someone was following them!

Moreover, this person avoided her warning spells the whole way and followed them closely!
However, they failed to detect Pascal's special warning spell, which triggered the warning trap and gave themselves away.

Who is this guy?
What do you want to do?
Pascal had no idea about these things.

But she was certain that the one following them was a being of considerable intelligence.

Normal Warcraft games wouldn't behave like this.

After a moment of vigilance, everyone found no reaction in the underground passage.

Darkness, like an ever-present, thick mass, silently enveloped the rocky passage.

"Van Buren!"

Pascal whispered a warning.

Upon hearing this, Van Buren, as teammates, needed no further explanation of the tacit understanding they had developed over a long period of time.

He raised his staff, and a ball of light radiating a bright glow condensed in front of him.

Soft light spilled from the orb, completely illuminating the rocky passage where the team was located, utterly suppressing the faint glow of the fluorescent moss.

Advanced Light Spell!
Van Buren pointed his right hand, which was holding the staff, forward slightly.

The ball of light in front of them drifted slowly forward, following the rocky passage they had come from.

As the sphere of light moved forward, the darkness of the entire underground city was completely dispelled, and everything was revealed in perfect detail to the entire exploration team.

"stop!"

Pascal saw that the distance was about right and quickly said.

As the ball of light traveled about two hundred meters, the location where the warning spell had been triggered appeared in front of her.

Fortunately, this underground passage is relatively straight and doesn't have any twists or turns.

This also allowed the members of the reconnaissance team to see with their own eyes where the warning spell was triggered.

A milky white magical light enveloped Pascal's eyes.

Thanks to this special spell, Pascal was able to clearly see the distribution of magic in that location.

Pascal's eyes narrowed.

She saw a broken magic thread floating on the ground.

This was the special early warning spell she had set up in that passage.

This warning spell almost never fails to emit any magical fluctuations, making it extremely difficult for others to detect and possessing exceptional concealment capabilities.

However, while possessing these advantages, this early warning spell also has significant problems.

For example, this warning thread can only be placed in a certain location in advance and cannot be moved. At the same time, the warning can only be triggered by direct destruction.

So, all Pascal knows now is that someone triggered her warning spell.

As for who triggered the warning spell and what level of strength it possesses,...
She had no idea.

Pascal moved his eyes, observing the passageway from both sides, but found nothing.

Apart from the noticeably stagnant flow of magic in the dungeon, there seemed to be nothing unusual.

After a moment's thought, Pascal said to his rogue teammate in front of him:
"Amir, go over and take a look slowly. If you find anything unusual, come back immediately."

"Van Buren, be ready to use the scroll to disengage at any time."

"Luz, you're in charge of the passage behind us. Make sure no one sneaks up on us from behind."

"Jar, come closer. This enemy is very good at hiding. Be careful."

Pascal methodically assigned tasks to everyone while casting various buff spells on his teammate Amir, who was preparing to go on the scouting mission.

"it is good."

Upon hearing this, Amir walked forward slowly without any hesitation.

Instead of entering stealth mode, he walked straight forward, remaining alert for any possible attacks.

But even after he reached the location of the rock passage, he found nothing unusual.

He gestured to his teammates behind him and then began to carefully check the surroundings.

As a Gold-tier stealth stalker, he was confident that if someone was truly following them, there was no reason why they wouldn't have left any trace. But even after carefully examining the area for a long time, and even actively probing forward by more than ten meters, he found nothing.

There wasn't even a trace of footprints, let alone any signs of bumping or knocking.

Only traces of their passage remained on the moss of the underground passage.

As a stealth operator, he was confident in this.

Although he trusted Pascal, Amir couldn't help but feel somewhat confused at this moment.

However, he wouldn't raise any objections at this critical juncture; instead, he quickly retreated.

Back with his teammates, Amir shook his head and said:

"I found no unusual traces, nor did I sense the presence of any unusual or extraordinary power."

"Even if it's a ghost, I should be able to detect it."

"What should we do, Pascal?"

Faced with this situation, another mage in the team, Van Lombu, also felt that it was somewhat tricky.

Regardless of the circumstances, if someone is truly following them, it's no small danger.

If you don't take the initiative to communicate with them, they are very likely to have malicious intentions.

"The mission is not yet complete. We've come this far to get to this deep into the territory. If we go back now, all our efforts will have been in vain."

"But such dangers cannot be ignored."

Pascal was silent for a moment, then raised his staff and said:
"Then destroy this underground passage!"

"what?"

Some of his teammates didn't react at first.

If they destroy the underground city passage, won't their escape route be cut off?

How will we get back then?

After casting the soundproof barrier, Pascal glanced at Valenbu and explained softly:
"With the high-level teleportation scrolls given to us by the association, as long as we don't go to those special areas of the dungeon, we can leave without any problems."

"Most importantly, it would be too dangerous if someone were following us."

"This dungeon gives me a bad feeling; it's too eerie, as if it hides a great danger."

"I think the reason why the people following us didn't attack us is very likely because they were observing us."

“If we show any sign of retreating or leaving, they are very likely to attack us.”

"Of course, this is just my guess."

“But I think that instead of letting people follow, it would be better to destroy the passage and block it.”

"I've checked. The underground passages here are quite sturdy. Damaging one section shouldn't affect the entire area, at least not bury us all. Get up."

"Even if the other side attacks us directly at this time, we still have the initiative to deal with them."

"Okay, it's up to you."

The other teammates had no further objections upon hearing this.

Pascal's magic surged like a vortex as he slowly raised his staff. The dazzling gem at the top of the staff was now radiating a hot and dangerous aura, as if it could devour all life.

As the low incantation was chanted, the air in front of the staff began to distort, and a huge fireball radiating terrifying heat gradually condensed and took shape.

The surface of the fireball was crackling with unstable flames, each pulsation seeming to herald impending destruction.

Pascal suddenly swung his staff, and the fireball, like a wild horse, crashed down on the underground passage in front of him with terrifying force.

Boom!

Moments later, the earth shook violently, and the intense tremors came from where the fireball struck. The entire underground city seemed to tremble at that moment.

The passage that was hit by the fireball shattered into countless fragments instantly under the attack, and countless rocks fell like raindrops, completely sealing off the passage and isolating it.

Smoke and dust filled the air, shrouding the entire underground passage in a hazy mist.

However, in the midst of this chaos, a dark figure darted out of the smoke and dust like a ghost, moving so fast that it was impossible to react.

The dark figure instantly traversed dozens of meters and arrived in front of Pascal and the others.

A flash of cold light appeared in his hand, and he thrust it directly at Pascal.

The speed was so fast that even the two Gold-ranked stealths in the team didn't react in time, and they stared at the scene in shock.

Just then, Jarl, the warrior standing beside Pascal, instinctively tilted his heavy shield, blocking the direction from which the cold light was coming.

when!
A crisp sound echoed through the underground passage. Unable to break through Jarl's defenses, the dark figure retreated a few steps, creating distance.

At this moment, everyone in the group realized what was happening and looked over warily.

Pascal, who was nearly attacked, felt his hair stand on end.

She could sense that if it weren't for Jarl's [Premonition Parry], she wouldn't have been able to withstand that cold light relying solely on her own magical defenses.

assassin?

Pascal didn't know, but now that the opponent had shown up, they had lost their biggest advantage.

As the last wisp of smoke slowly dissipated into nothingness, a beautiful and alluring figure gradually appeared in the astonished gazes of the crowd.

She was a dark elf girl!
Her face was as exquisite as a meticulously sculpted work of art, every line perfectly proportioned, exuding an indescribable mystery and aloofness.

Long, pointed ears peeked playfully from her glossy black hair, adding an exotic touch to her face.

She wore a simple black leather armor, which seemed to be merely an embellishment on her body, not overly concealing her graceful figure.

On the contrary, beneath the leather armor, most of the girl's fair, jade-like, and curvaceous skin was exposed to the air, gleaming alluringly in the dim light, perfectly outlining the unique and enchanting figure of the dark elf girl, making one's imagination run wild.

The purple, twisted dagger in her hand gleamed with a chilling light, as if it were ready to be drawn at any moment to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy.

The dagger complemented her temperament perfectly, adding to her sense of danger and allure.

She gently toyed with the dagger, her movements elegant and skillful, as if the dagger were an extension of her body.

Then, she stuck out her pink tongue and gently licked her rosy lips. Her deep and captivating eyes gleamed with cunning and provocation as she stared intently at the crowd before her, as if declaring her existence and power to them.

At that moment, the entire space seemed to become heavy because of her appearance, and everyone felt the irresistible charm and danger emanating from her.

"Dark Elf?"

Why did you attack us?

Pascal's expression turned grim when he saw the dark elf appear before them.

They had explored other dungeons before, so they knew what dangers lay within them.

Aside from those powerful magical beasts, the dark elves are the most dangerous.

Unlike the elves who live in the forest, these dark elves, though equally beautiful, are absolutely chaotic and evil beings.

In fact, dark elves rarely appear in dungeons. Apart from trading with other dungeon city-states, very few people encounter dark elves in dungeons.

Appearing here?
Could it be related to those magical beasts?
