Chapter 925: Chapter 648 Justice and Responsibility Chapter 925: Chapter 648 Justice and Responsibility Afterward, Alia and company replenished their supplies in the Underground Dwarf city before hitting the road again—fortunately, with the guidance of the Gnos, they were no longer utterly bewildered by the Dark Region, and were also given a map of the nearby area. Thus, Alia and her companions packed up and once again embarked on their journey to find Master Kelben’s nephew.
“How much longer until we reach our destination?”
Clutching his Longsword tightly, Kasim turned to Alia and asked, they certainly weren’t blundering around like headless flies, after all, searching for soone in the Dark Region without any clues was as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack. Luckily, Master Kelben also knew this and had given Alia a Magic Compass that would point out the location of his nephew; and as they drew closer, the Compass would begin to tremble slightly, trembling more rapidly the nearer they got.
They had relied on this Compass to search for people before, but… they had not found anyone, and instead ran into a whole lot of trouble.
“I think we should be close now.”
Alia, too, was vigilant, sword in hand, while holding the Compass at her waist. She could feel the Compass trembling slightly, indicating they were headed in the right direction.
But at the sa ti, the three were exceedingly nervous, for according to the map given to them by the Underworld Dwarves, they were approaching the domain of a Drow Elf city. Although, according to the Dwarves, that city had been destroyed, considering Duanmu Huai’s earlier warning, they remained extra cautious.
“—————!!”
The closer they walked, the more the Compass trembled, which invigorated them. They carefully observed their surroundings, fortunate that the luminescent moss in the area illuminated the scenery so that they didn’t need to risk lighting torches to see clearly around them.
“It’s right here.”
At an opening, Alia took a deep breath and quietly said to the others before carefully sticking her head out and looking into the cave.
In the glow of the fluorescent moss, Alia could clearly see a flowing stream inside the cave, with so gigantic mushrooms nearby. But soon, Alia noticed an open spot not far from the stream, with a tent and a campfire that had been extinguished—obviously, soone had lived here before.
“It’s right there?”
“We’ll know if we go take a look.”
Although they saw the campsite, Alia felt sothing was odd because there was no one on watch nearby; it seed everyone was sleeping in the tents, which was clearly not right. On the surface, that might have been okay, but now deep into the Dark Region, Alia and her companions had always taken turns standing guard while resting, never daring to do otherwise.
But here… Could it be there was no one?
Yet the marking clearly pointed here…
Contemplating the situation, Alia cautiously approached the camp with Kasim and Roxia, then she thrust out her Longsword and gave the tent a forceful flick!
“—————!”
Perhaps Alia was just lucky, but at that instant, she perceived a shadow appearing behind them. Alia quickly turned around and swung her sword, managing to block an attack from behind. At the sa ti, she got a clear view of the assailant—a figure dressed in black, wearing strange leather armor, holding a slender sword, with white hair and red eyes…
“It’s a Drow Elf, be careful!”
Alia, shocked, shouted to warn her companions while forcefully repelling the Drow Elf’s attack. anwhile, Kasim and Roxia also drew their weapons, with Kasim drawing his Longsword and slashing violently in front of him, the howling Sword Qi sweeping across the entire campsite, pushing back two other Drow Elves. Soon, several more figures appeared from all directions, surrounding the trio completely.
A miscalculation!
Watching the Drow Elves encircling them, Alia clenched her teeth; she had not expected to encounter this most infamous group from the Dark Region… There were nine opponents, and they were only three, but…
“In the na of Tyler, I shall not fall here! Die, wicked Drow Elves! The radiant light of justice shall utterly destroy you!”
As she spoke, Alia raised her Longsword high, and at the next mont, a dazzling light burst forth from her blade. The sudden bright light shocked the Drow Elves, who, living underground, feared strong light the most. The Holy Light emanating from Alia’s sword held an additional divine Strength, causing the Drow Elves to retreat in pain, covering their eyes, as Alia seized the opportunity to grip her sword tightly and pounce toward her enemies…
“Wait a minute!”
Just then, a man suddenly appeared in front of Alia, halting her actions.
“I don’t know who you are, but this is a misunderstanding!”
“A misunderstanding?”
Hearing the man’s words, Alia paused for a mont but did not lower her Longsword, instead eyeing the man who suddenly appeared before her warily—he was not a Drow Elf, and from his attire, he seed to be an Adventurer from the surface, albeit his appearance was disheveled, with a thick beard, and his leather armor was tattered…
