Chapter 498: Chapter 268: Meltwax Fiend and Divination Spell (Part 2)

"Spider Queen’s Sting!"

Suddenly!

In Rofenya’s pupils, the reflection of a silver warhammer emitting blue-white light, abruptly shot out a sharp ice spike, its speed so fast that she had no time to react.

Thus, just as the black curved dagger was about to touch Raine’s armor.

"Crack!"

A sound like a watermelon being vigorously smashed by a stick echoed!

Rofenya’s forehead and above performed a disappearing act in an instant.

Then, her slender body wobbled and fell with a ’thud’ into the muddy, dirty swamp, her elegant priestly robes clad on her exquisite body still twitching uncontrollably.

Behind her was a large fan-shaped spread of red and white matter, exuding a faint bloody scent.

Meanwhile, in Raine’s mind, numerous insights about the class skill ’Ice Blade Strike’ suddenly flashed, and within seconds, his understanding of the Ice Blade Strike advanced significantly!

At the same time, Raine abruptly sensed something, looked up sharply at the sky, and then immediately used the Invisibility Spell, vanishing from the spot.

Two seconds later.

A burly figure bearing a great sword, glowing faintly, appeared in the sky, quickly beginning a fast descent.

Soon after, several figures appeared near the combat area, one of them wearing dark leather armor and holding a dagger, was precisely the wanderer from the Wing of Crimson Day.

The wanderer stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the scene before him!

"This transcendent-level Drow priestess is dead?!" The Shield Armor Warrior holding a shield beside him was equally astonished.

"Master Karman, this..."

The group all looked towards the leading transcendent paladin, Karman.

Karman’s face appeared calm, but if observed carefully, one could see a fleeting surprise in his eyes, and inside his heart, there was a storm surging!

He understood more than anyone that the Drow priestess who had just fought with him clearly had at least extraordinary mid-level strength!

But from the time he sensed the spell energy fluctuation and rushed over, it took at most two or three minutes, the battle was over, and the transcendent mid-level Drow priestess was already lying in a pool of blood.

This...

At that moment.

Suddenly, on the other side of the battlefield, there were also fine footsteps, and around twenty elite Drow controlling large darkfang spiders appeared.

However, when they saw the field full of their fellow kin’s corpses and the dead Rofenya, they stopped in their tracks, their faces filled with immense shock!

"(Drow Elvish) Damn! They killed Master Rofenya!"

"Retreat quickly! Report immediately!"

"Split up!"

Soon, the Drow turned their gaze towards the front, as if to deeply imprint the image of the transcendent paladin and the others in their minds.

At the same time, upon sensing the aura from the transcendent paladin, all the Drow elves also quickly retreated.

While under the invisibility spell, Raine saw this scene, smiled slightly, and immediately turned to leave quickly.

After taking a wide circle, he used the Flying Spell, speeding towards the campfire base.

Flying at low altitude, as if reminded of something, Raine focused some attention on the sixteen-slot pouch.

Inside, there were notably two new icons.

First, it was a wax melting demon that looked like an enlarged candle.

With a quick check, Raine immediately understood its bloodline talents and spell-like abilities.

The wax melting demon, as a type of demon, like the previous Flom demon and elite enchanting demon, possessed bloodline talents such as ’All-element Spell Basic Resistance’, ’Dark Vision’, and more.

The most captivating was the ’Mist Form’.

Mist Form lv1, Effect: You can transform into a poisonous mist, possessing the ability to fly, able to linger or pass through non-enclosed spaces; in mist form, you become immune to all physical damage; creatures enveloped by your mist form will suffer from toxic damage.

(Note: The toxic effect is inversely proportional to the target’s constitution.)

"Immune to all physical damage?" Raine pondered thoughtfully at this point.

"No wonder, the wax melting demon was unharmed when facing my full-force Vibration Wave...."

"This move is advantageous when dealing with pure strength-type monsters, or pure warrior-type enemies."

Apart from this, the other bloodline talents and spell-like abilities, the wax melting demon was quite similar to the elite enchanting demon and Flom demon.

Thus, soon enough, Raine’s gaze turned to the second new icon.

On the icon, Rovinia’s lifelike portrait caught his eye.

It must be said, the appearance of the Drow Priestess was quite beautiful, almost on par with Meredith, and Raine couldn’t help but take a few extra looks.

After that, he started to examine it in detail.

The icon’s official name was ’Drow High-tier Priestess,’ and its Bloodline Talent was not much different from the previously acquired ’Drow Elite Mage’, both having two types.

The Bloodline Talents are as follows:

Elf Bloodline lv2, Effect: Resistance to mid-level enchanting and sleep, basic resistance to spiritual magic.

Innate Spellcasting lv2, Effect: Intelligence +5, the speed of learning any magic increases by 20%, all tricks require no spellcasting materials.

What astonished Raine was the ’Spell-like Abilities’ of the ’Drow High-tier Priestess.’

Just the spell abilities comparable to the fourth-level and above were up to 5 types.

Firstly was the ’Rose Mid-level Prayer Spell’ comparable to the sixth-ring level.

Rose Mid-level Prayer Spell lv2, Effect: You can summon a Wax Melting Demon to fight for you.

The combat strength of a Wax Melting Demon is comparable to a newly transcendent human powerful being; being able to summon such a helper, without a doubt, this spell is exceptionally powerful.

Another spell very similar to this ’Rose Mid-level Prayer Spell’ is the ’Rose Prayer Spell.’

Rose Prayer Spell lv3, Effect: You can summon three large Dark Mist Poison Spiders to fight for you.

"This seems to be the basic, mid-level, and advanced version of the prayer spell?" Raine looked at the difference between the two and thought to himself.

And next, there was the fifth-level spell ’Plague Swarm’ that Raine had dealt with once.

Plague Swarm lv1, Effect: At any point within a 100-meter range, summon tens of thousands of plague-ridden locusts.

"If it wasn’t for being transcendent in the arcane system, it would probably be tough to deal with this move."

Raine recalled that when he dealt with this move, he used the fifth-level + power level Frost Spell ’Freezing Wind’.

The fourth spell or divine art at the fifth ring level was ’Mass Healing Spell.’

Mass Healing Spell lv1, Effect: You can heal six allied targets in one go and quickly cure moderate injuries on them. This spell will also rapidly terminate most disease and plague effects on the target.

"It seems like I can occasionally serve as a team healer in the future?"

And the next spell made Raine finally understand why the opponent was able to track down the Dusty Swamp area.

Because this was the renowned ’Prophecy Spell’.

Prophecy Spell lv2, Effect: This spell, combined with tribute, allows you to establish brief contact with a specified or unspecified divine being or divine servant and ask a question about a specific target, event, or activity, and the divine being or servant will give you a true answer. However, this answer is often not direct and may be guidance, a short poem, or an omen, etc.

(Note: This spell requires a spellcasting medium, i.e., tribute, and the more precious the tribute, the clearer the answer; a tribute value of under one hundred gold coins will greatly reduce the spellcasting success rate; this spell can only be cast once a day.)

"I see."

"No wonder they could track us here."

"Moreover, the more precious the tribute, the clearer the answer would be?"

His gaze lingered on the remark, and suddenly, Raine’s eyes widened as if he had thought of something important.

"Wait! With Prophecy Spell, does it not mean that..."

"Once I can obtain the Hernet Family’s treasury’s first key, then relying on the first key and the Prophecy Spell, I should be able to completely discover the location of the second key!"

"As for not being clear enough?"

"Would one Black Crystal Card be enough?"

If he could collect the Imperial Twin Hammers, ten thousand gold coins or even more as tribute, in Raine’s view, would also be completely acceptable.

And the subsequent ’Enhanced Spider Web Spell,’ ’Flying Spell,’ etc., were also very practical, but not as impressive as the aforementioned spells.

Enhanced Spider Web Spell lv3, Effect: At any point within spellcasting range, continuously summon three clusters of sticky, tough special spider webs, with each web having a maximum coverage diameter of 7 meters.

Flying Spell lv1, Effect: You can bestow yourself or an allied target with temporary flight, with a duration of 10 minutes.

(Note: The flight speed is about the speed of an average pigeon.)

Darkness Shield lv2...

Dark Magic lv2...

In contemplation, the campfire site was already faintly visible from afar.
