Chapter 78: Blood Magic (2)
Leon followed the two Mystery-ranked magicians down the narrow, dark corridor. The sound of their footsteps echoed through the passage.
Jerdin, the leader of Unit 9, and Pauline, the leader of Unit 10, led the way without hesitation. Their mission was to eliminate all the blood magicians in this hideout, so their steps showed no sign of reluctance.
Ten magicians, including Leon, reached the end of the corridor, where they encountered five blood magicians standing in wait. As soon as the extermination squad arrived, the blood magicians turned their heads in unison.
“Were they expecting us?” Leon wondered, but the blood magicians' formation appeared irregular and disorganized.
Jerdin and the other nine magicians quickly stepped forward, maintaining a formation that would block the blood magicians' movements. Meanwhile, Pauline prepared a high-level spell in the back, waiting for the right moment to strike.
Leon also moved into position, becoming part of the formation.
In an instant, the five Advanced Special-ranked blood magicians charged at them like the wind. Though their eyes were vacant, the red magic flowing through their arms was ferocious.
The blood magicians rushed down the corridor with superhuman speed, ready to attack.
The magicians quickly layered defensive spells, forming shields of light one after another.
Boom!
One of the blood magicians swung his arm, fiercely striking their shield.
The shield wavered but held, barely managing to withstand the blow.
