"I hate this godforsaken place."
Sitting at the top of a towering stalagmite, Pattilina swung her legs in dissatisfaction as she stared at Menzoberranz.
This city of Dark Elves was so quiet and beautiful, but Pattilina could only smell the stench of decay.
As a Starlight Knight, she preferred to fight on the surface rather than underground. The thick rock layer might give the underground races a sense of security, but it made Pattilina feel somewhat stifled.
"Soon, everything will be over."
Sensing her dissatisfaction, Elyse, who was standing beside her, revealed a bitter smile and consoled her.
But her expression wasn't as relaxed as her words. As a member of Black Agate City, Elyse was constantly looking forward to the destruction of Menzoberranz.
The Dark Elves were the most troublesome of all their enemies. The Mind Flayer usually didn't go out, and the cunning and insidious Gray Dwarves were also something they could deal with.
Only the evil and cunning of the Dark Elves could make the residents of Black Agate City uneasy. They could hide in the shadows and launch surprise attacks at their targets at any time and anywhere.
They were cruel and merciless, full of threats.
But when she stood here and thought about how she could completely destroy this city, Elyse felt a little nervous.
All of this happened too suddenly, and it made her feel as if she was in a dream.
For a moment, Elyse once again fell into her previous state. She couldn't tell the boundary between dream and reality. In fact, Elyse didn't know which part of the dream she should treat as a dream. Was it after she was captured by Jenn?
Or was it what she was experiencing now?
Elyse wasn't so sure anymore, and she didn't think that she would want to wake up from this dream.
"It's starting!
Master wants us to start! "
Pattilina's cheers interrupted Elyse's thoughts. She turned around and saw the little one excitedly jumping up from the edge of the stalagmite.
So Elyse quickly shook her head, threw the annoying thoughts in her mind aside, and focused her attention on what she had to do at the moment.
She raised her head again and looked at Menzoberranzan in front of her, reflecting its appearance in her eyes.
In the next moment, Elyse turned around and disappeared into the darkness.
This would be the last time she saw Menzoberranz.
"Then, let's begin!"
Almost at the same time Elyse disappeared, Pattilina cheered and raised her hands. Her eyes were wide open as she looked at the distant Menzoberranz and the iconic stalactite pillar of the Bailey Family.
She revealed a happy smile. To Pattilina, Jenn's summoning was a fated encounter, and what she had to do now was to let her master completely recognize her value.
The female knight clenched her fists and then slowly opened her palms. Along with her movements, the air behind Patrina began to tremble, and circles of ripples gradually appeared in the originally empty space. Then, the space was torn apart, and dozens of huge cannons stretched out from the inside.
Every cannon had a different appearance. Some were made of bronze and the cannons were bound by steel.
There were also beautiful works of art that flickered with magical radiance and silver light. White steam spurted out from the gaps of the cannons that were made of adamantine like the breath of a monster, producing a deep rumbling sound.
The gems embedded on the silver cannons began to flicker and condense the power of magic. Magical formations appeared on the originally empty cannons, spinning rapidly to form a shining ball of light.
They came from different worlds, different times, and were created with different techniques.
They had once destroyed flying iron birds, sturdy fortresses, and roaring dragons.
And now, under the summons of war, they gathered together once again and displayed their powerful strength.
The weapons that traversed time and space gathered under the guidance of the Starlight Knight, condensed, and exploded with their own strength.
Along with a deafening boom, flames erupted. Spinning cannonballs, dazzling magical radiance, and whistling constructed missiles transformed into a real storm that engulfed the Bailey Family's encampment in the distance.
At that moment, it was like a volcanic eruption. The dark elves watched in horror as a series of flames streaked across the Bailey Family's camp.
The magical light beam tore through and penetrated the magic defense that the Bailey Family was proud of. The spinning cannonballs descended from the sky and blasted huge craters on the ground.
The flying missiles pierced straight into the thick defense of the Bailey Family's stalactite pillar. It shrunk for a moment like a compressed balloon, but in the next moment, the unparalleled explosion and impact scattered the rotating blades in all directions, leaving deep cracks on the stalactite pillar.
The entire Menzoberranzan began to tremble under this merciless attack. Many dark elf warriors didn't even have the time to resist before they were engulfed by the cannonballs.
Soon, rays of light flashed. Pattilina saw several dark elves dressed in priest robes rushing out of the collapsing tower angrily, leading the soldiers in her direction.
They all possessed great strength, but Pattilina didn't feel the slightest bit of fear. Because they weren't facing an attack from just her alone.
It was an army.
The cannonballs didn't seem to have any intention of stopping. The blazing cannons spat out dazzling tongues of flame, while the long barrels that flickered with magical radiance trembled incessantly. The magical light beams shot out from the barrels whistled across the entire Menzoberranzan, leaving a ghastly flame scar on the dark land.
The rune cannons were continuously loaded with cannonballs, like a goddess scattering flowers, throwing those strange looking constructs into every corner. What followed was only explosions and raging flames.
At the same time that Pattilina launched her attack, Jenn also launched the same ferocious attack at Matriarch Baenre.
The spewing flames raged against Matriarch Baenre's aged body, but it didn't cause any damage to her.
She roared and raised the snake-headed whip in her hand, beginning to counterattack.
Soon, as Matriarch Baenre chanted, a dark light suddenly appeared and transformed into a giant spider.
"You're not the only one who has received the Spider Queen's blessing!"
Maya's voice covered Matriarch Baenre's roar. She gripped the snake-headed whip in her hand tightly and pointed it at the Demon Hunter Spider from the Abyss.
"In the name of the Spider Queen, I command you to kill her!"
The summoned Demon Hunter Spider hesitated for the first time. It moved its eyes around in confusion, sweeping between Matriarch Baenre and Maya.
Logically speaking, as a summoned creature, it should obey Baenre's command to destroy the enemy before it. However, it was first and foremost a servant of Lorci from the Abyss, not a little imp that could be sold at will.
It sensed the same powerful divine power from the young dark elf before it. Not only that, it also sensed the terrifying aura of the dark elf mage standing behind Maya. That was the aura of the Demon Realm.
It was this aura that suppressed the Demon Hunter Spider, preventing it from taking action immediately.
"I command you to do it!
Destroy them! "
The Demon Hunter Spider's momentary hesitation and hesitation made Matriarch Baenre dizzy. This could very well mean that Lorci's favor was about to leave her.
However, her dignity as a matriarch forced her to stand up and continue to give orders to the monster before her. She hoped that it was just a small mistake in her hasty summoning, and that this Demon Hunter Spider had not adapted to the situation before it because it had just been summoned.
Moreover, she was not fighting alone. Matriarch Baenre had already heard the footsteps and saw her three daughters rushing into the room. It was obvious that this would be an evenly matched battle.
However, Jenn did not think so. He only glanced at the figures rushing in, then immediately looked at the Demon Hunter Spider and gave an order.
"Destroy them, this is the Spider Queen's command!
They should receive the punishment they deserve! "
In the end, the Demon Hunter Spider chose to accept Jenn's order.
After all, compared to Matriarch Baenre's dark elven language, the Demon Hunter Spider was more familiar with the language of the Abyss. Moreover, the aura that erupted from Jenn's body also proved that the dark elf before it had a powerful and noble bloodline.
Everything had its own laws, and the inhabitants of the Underworld — no matter which demon king they served, could not change this law.
Thus, very quickly, the Demon Hunter Spider made its choice. It turned around and pounced towards the reinforcements.
"How could this be!"
Nothing frightened Matriarch Baenre more than the betrayal of the Demon Hunter Spiders. She had used Lorci's divine power to summon Lorci's warriors, but they had betrayed her and fought for her enemy.
As a matriarch who had ruled Menzoberranzan for a few centuries, she knew better than anyone what this meant — Lorci had abandoned her!
If Matriarch Baenre was calm enough, she would realize that her divine power was still there. If she wasn't so flustered, she would be able to use her power to regain control of the Demon Hunter Spiders and discover the problem.
However, she did not do so. As a matriarch of the dark elves, she knew better than anyone how ruthless Lorci was. Moreover, she had always been worried that she would be abandoned.
But now, when Baenre thought that Lorci had really abandoned her, she was shocked to realize that her power seemed to be fading away.
It was no wonder. Lorci's evil reputation was the most convincing symbol. She would never show any mercy to those who went against her will.
In the past, Matriarch Baenre had seen the despair of those who were abandoned by Lorci more than once. And now, it was time for her to taste this despair.
But even so, Matriarch Baenre did not give up.
"Don't you dare!"
The old matriarch bellowed. The whip in her hand once again emanated a black radiance. Shortly after, divine power erupted once again and shot towards the enemy before her.
Facing Matriarch Baenre's attack, Maya displayed her strength as a high-grade priest.
She raised the snake-headed whip and loudly praised Lorci's power. Soon, a thin, almost pitch-black curtain of light descended from the sky, blocking in front of Maya and helping her resist Matriarch Baenre's attack.
This was a battle between two priests. Their battle strength had little to do with their training. Instead, it depended on whose god gave them more support.
The priest's battle style was simple. They prayed to the gods for blessings and used the blessings to attack.
But in reality, not every god would act according to the requests of their believers. If they felt that the actions of their believers threatened or went against their teachings, they would make changes.
For example, if a priest went against his teachings and prayed to his god to grant him the Finger of Death to destroy an enemy, he might receive a great healing spell that revived his enemy with full health and full health, allowing the half-dead enemy to easily complete the task that the gods wouldn't personally do.
On the other hand, if a priest prayed to the gods to heal the enemies of his god, then when he cast the healing spell on the enemy, it might immediately turn into a curse filled with death.
After understanding the priest's battle style, it was easy to imagine how tragic their battle would be.
For Maya and Maya, the battle between them was actually a process of fighting for who was more favored by Lorci.
If Maya was favored by Lorci, then no matter how powerful Matriarch Baenre was, she would definitely lose.
And on the other hand, if Baenre was still favored by Lorci, then Maya's strength was no different from a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
But no matter what, the outcome of this battle had nothing to do with their own strength.
But it did buy some time for Matriarch Baenre.
Dozens of magic missiles pierced through the air, attacking everyone like a storm.
Seeing this sudden magic, Jenn reacted immediately.
He raised the staff in his hand, and very quickly, a fire snake spun out from the top, pouncing towards the storm of magic missiles.
Along with a series of magic roars and explosions, Jenn saw a dark elf wearing an archmage robe emerging from the flames. His face was gloomy as he stared at Jenn.
Without a self-introduction, Jenn knew that this was the legendary mage of House Baenre.
There was no time. It wasn't a good idea to be surrounded by House Baenre here. Fortunately, Jenn had already thought of this.
He raised the staff in his hand and slammed it hard on the ground.
Boom!!
The dull sound reverberated in the huge visitation room. The flashing lightning turned into an incomparably wild energy, completely collapsing the entire ground.
In the blink of an eye, along with the collapse of the ground, everything was completely swallowed by darkness.
At the same time, the stalactite pillars of House Baenre were finally unable to withstand the pressure and collapsed.
