Chapter 1627  Chapter 1446: Alice on her way back 2

 "No, everyone can't hold on any longer. Let me do it! I have a special skill to summon magical beasts to take down these creatures. It won't be too late for us to escape later."

"But…"

Upon hearing her respond, the middle-aged man became increasingly concerned. Even though he couldn't cast spells, he had witnessed how spell casters controlled their summoned beasts with all their strength to prevent being devoured by them instead. If it were in the past, he would have gotten Lavita to give it a shot. But now, she was all pale and beat-up. Perhaps she would be able to summon magical beasts and barely support them, but that would mean she would be facing the undead creatures alone!

"We're running out of time, Leader."

Looking at the hesitant man, the young lady said softly before spreading her arms apart abruptly. Gazing at her actions, the man grimaced. He extended his arm, but at the next moment, he had no choice but to retract it. He gripped the longsword and swung it to the side, striking away an undead creature that pounced on him.

Meanwhile, Lavita extended her arms and chanted under her breath. Shortly after, along with her movements, a ball of scarlet flames appeared between her hands. She widened her eyes abruptly and chanted the incantation loudly. The ball of pure, scarlet flames exploded, bursting forward at the undead creatures. The instant the flames erupted, the undead creatures screeched and retreated swiftly. The flames twisted and turned as they arrived before them, metamorphosing into a burning, red, gigantic rhino. The rhino spurted out scorching white steam from its nostrils and glared fiercely at the undead creatures trembling before it. Upon witnessing this enormous fire elemental creature, the undead creatures shrunk back instinctively. But at the next moment, they let out sinister hisses and confronted the creature. Even though the undead creatures were much stronger now, their fear toward flames was embedded in their bones. Not only that, but the enormous rhino was also a pure fire elemental creature, which left the undead creatures feeling uncertain and terrified.

"———!"

Upon witnessing the fire elemental creature, the vampire hidden in the rear lifted his head and screamed all of a sudden. Along with his screams, the flat ground around them rumbled and skeletons emerged from the soil one by one, surrounding everyone before them.

"Damn it!"

The middle-aged man turned pale after realizing the vampire's true intention. It seemed like the vampire had already decided to use himself as bait to attract more mercenaries over. If not, if the vampire had summoned so many undead creatures from the start, the mercenaries would have been dead by now. Now that the mercenaries were seemingly intending to escape, the vampire stopped using himself as bait and decided to take them all down!

Gazing at the almost 200 skeleton soldiers, the middle-aged man froze to the spot. He reached out for the badge hanging on his chest, but let out a long sigh after a few moments. He stripped the badge off his neck and tossed it to the young lady.

"Leader?"

Looking at his gesture, the young lady was stunned. Facing her doubtful gaze, the middle-aged man said with a smile.

"Get ready. Use your remaining magical power to activate this scroll. This is a treasure we received from the Mercenary Guild back then, which is entirely different from the one you are wearing. A teleportation ritual will appear after you activate it and we will head back to the guild together afterward."

"Ah… Okay…"

Upon hearing his words, the young lady was taken aback. But despite that, she took over the badge and sized it up curiously. Gazing at her expression, the middle-aged man let out a sigh. He wondered what her reactions would be after she figured out that he lied about teleporting back to safety together. But now, he couldn't worry about it anymore. He went through trials and hardships in these two years with the boss and encountered whatever he could, so what was there for him to be afraid of?! On the other hand, this little fella here lost her parents and had no intention of becoming a mercenary at first. But life is always unpredictable.

Now, it was about time to end this misery.

"———!"

All of a sudden, the situation took a turn. The rune hovering around the young lady and meant to control the spell began to twist and turn in shape. Lavita's expression became as white as a sheet. She gnashed her teeth and continued to maintain the rune with all her power. At that moment, the other mercenaries had crowded around to defend her.

"Hurry, Lavita! Activate the scroll!"

"No, my power. There seems to be something…!"

Boom!

Before Lavita completed her sentence, the flaming rhino suddenly exploded, turning into a sea of flames that dispersed in all directions and devoured the undead creatures that couldn't escape in time. Not only that, but the flames also didn't dissipate like in the past. On the contrary, they rushed forward like a stream and at the next moment, a dazzling, scarlet radiance burst out, forcing everyone to close their eyes.

"Phew… Looks like we made it."

At that moment, a voice sounded in their ears. Upon hearing it, everyone turned around and couldn't help but widen their eyes in astonishment. In the place where the flames exploded stood people all of a sudden. They wore strange, ancient costumes and were seemingly travel-worn as though they had a long and difficult trek. But what shocked the middle-aged man was… Where did they come from?

"Finally…"

Lifting his head to gaze at this familiar starry sky, Alice couldn't help but lament. Even though it wasn't tough getting out of that place, it wasn't that smooth sailing either.

"I'm back…"

Alice muttered under her breath, stifling the intricate emotions in her mind. Then, she gazed at the surroundings and was taken aback.

What is with these undead creatures?

"Ssss!"

Facing the sudden appearance of Alice's group, the undead creatures were also stunned. The leading vampire commanded in response and the skeletal soldiers hesitated no more. They raised their weapons and charged ahead like a raging flood that was about to devour everyone.

"Hmph!"

Looking at this scene, Alice turned grim.

"Finish them."

Her team finished the undead in no time.
