Chapter 492 - 265: Dungeon Escape (Part 2)
Even after such a long time apart, she recognized her father, Lunen, at first glance.
Father?
Has he returned from the punishment chamber?
Raine secretly thought that Meredith’s luck had finally turned for the better this time.
But almost simultaneously, both of their expressions changed slightly.
"Not good!"
Meredith immediately dashed forward, and Raine quickly followed suit.
Because one of the Drow guards responsible for escorting them was reaching out to push the two Drow guards unconscious on the chairs, left by Raine.
As expected!
With the shove, the two unconscious Drow guards slid softly off the chairs, causing the escort guard’s expression to change drastically and whistle!
"Whistle!"
The sharp alarm echoed instantly throughout the prison!
"Someone’s staging a prison break!!"
"Clang!"
As a dark gray arc flashed by, the whistling Drow Elf hastily raised his sword to block, but was immediately knocked back several steps by Meredith with a single strike, while the other fared worse, as the Warhammer sent him flying when silver streaks of light flashed by.
After crashing heavily into the prison wall, he coughed up blood in large gulps.
Lunen watched Meredith, surprised at how someone could be so bold as to come into the Breagan Family’s territory to rescue someone, and the more he watched, the more astonished he became.
On one hand, because she rushed toward him as soon as she saw him.
On the other hand, this female Drow... although her appearance wasn’t quite the same, her build closely resembled his daughter, Meredith.
"You’re Meredith!" Suddenly, Lunen’s eyes widened, staring closely at Meredith’s waving curved swords, and exclaimed.
"Father, it’s me!" Meredith shielded her father behind her with a glance.
Meanwhile, Raine had dealt with the other Drow guard.
"Let’s go quickly!"
"Hey! Wait! Help me open the door!" Drow Priestess Beatrice urgently called out after witnessing the scene, pounding the door forcefully.
This made Raine, who was pulling out a scroll, seem to remember something. He flicked his right hand, and the Counterattacker spun rapidly away, resounding all the way.
He watched as the locks of over ten doors on one side of the prison were shattered.
"Great, finally free."
Drow Priestess Beatrice walked out of the prison with excitement.
At the same time, she saw the other shattered locks of prison doors, revealing Gray Dwarves, Lizardman commanders, and other important prisoners, all with joyful faces as they walked out of their cells.
Her heart grew with excitement.
’Just the opportunity to escape amidst the chaos!’ she thought.
Just as she planned to follow Raine and Meredith out, her eyes suddenly widened!
Because she saw, with a flash of blue light, the corridor entrance where the two had just killed the guards, along with Lunen, suddenly disappear, all three of them vanishing into thin air.
"Damn, they actually prepared an Any Door Scroll!" the Doffer Family’s priestess thought angrily.
Just then, dense footsteps echoed from both ends of the corridor.
Within seconds, six to seven elite Drow guards appeared at both ends of the corridor.
This made Beatrice’s heart grow anxious!
"Quick, if we don’t charge out now, there’ll be no chance later!" the strong Gray Dwarf shouted, rushing toward one end of the corridor.
Suddenly, he saw the male Drow Elf guards ahead suddenly part in the middle, seemingly revealing a path deliberately to let him escape.
This made the charging Gray Dwarf suspicious.
Just then, a Drow female in a luxurious dark purple priest’s robe appeared in the prisoners’ view.
She said nothing, looked ahead with a smile, and raised her staff. As the spider-shaped red gem at the tip of the staff released a torrent of lightning, the entire corridor was instantly pierced by a dozen or so strong Lightning Bolts over ten meters long!
And all the escaping prisoners were struck by this high-energy current, writhing in pain and collapsing to the ground.
Including the Doffer Family’s priestess, whose eyes rolled back, body convulsing.
"Damn... Damn, it’s Rovenia!"
"How could she arrive so quickly?"
Roovenia, the Breagan Family’s prison warden, a mid-tier Transcendent in power, was a notable figure even within the entire Breagan Family.
"Escort all personnel back to the prison."
"Yes, Lady Roovenia!"
Shortly, a guard reported, "Lady Roovenia, one prisoner is missing, Master Smith Lunen!"
"Lunen got rescued?" Roovenia mused thoughtfully.
-----------------
"Ma’am, what’s strange is that multiple Guardian Arrays outside weren’t triggered, and the gate reported that no one left the family premises within these minutes."
"Huh?" This surprised Roovenia somewhat.
"Teleportation? It shouldn’t be possible, with interference arrays, the opposition shouldn’t be able to teleport precisely."
In the central Belendaan, the core area of the Breagan Family, teleportation interference arrays were set up to guard against enemies of a High-tier Mage Level using long-range Teleportation Arrays to reach Belendaan.
After a moment, Roovenia, seemingly having thought of something, waved her staff to conjure a simplified three-dimensional map of Belendaan before her eyes.
On the three-dimensional map, besides the numerous dense light points at the center, there was currently a light point appearing at the junction of the noble district and the slum area.
Each light point represented a miniature signal array inside a special restraint.
"At Cadil Street to the west, quickly send someone there," Roovenia pointed to the light point outside.
"Understood, ma’am!" the guard quickly left.
Could it be Meredith?
Seemingly having thought of something, Roovenia also stepped out of the prison entrance, then performed a Flying Spell, heading toward Cadil Street.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
"Meredith, why did you come here? It’s too dangerous!"
Under the cover of a black cloak, Lunen, flanked by Meredith and Raine, quickly headed toward a secluded alley.
As long as they could evade for a minute, they could use the Teleportation Array Scroll again, so they didn’t rush down the street, as it would attract attention.
"Father, let me unlock your shackles first." Not answering her father’s question, Meredith slightly adjusted the shackles and began to hack at them with her curved swords.
"Clang! Clang!" Two dark arcs flashed, sparks flying!
But the shackles only had a tiny notch, not completely broken.
"These are custom-made magic iron shackles, very hard. Without a key, they are difficult to open," Lunen shook his head.
Though the shackles weren’t crafted by him, as a Master Smith, Lunen knew well the strength of his peers’ crafted shackles; only a Transcendent Level, power-type individual might have a chance of breaking them.
"Let me try."
Raine stepped forward, taking a Warhammer from his waist.
Before Lunen’s astonished gaze, the young man disguised as ’Kabia’ suddenly swung the Warhammer like lightning and smashed it down heavily.
"Crack!"
With a crisp sound, the magic iron shackles shattered!
"Hiss~ You..." Lunen’s eyes widened at Raine.
Such strength?!
Judging from his aura, the clearly disguised male Drow wasn’t particularly strong, yet he possessed such powerful strength.
However, he noticed his daughter’s gaze, which showed no surprise, as if it was expected.
This made Lunen increasingly curious about the identity and relationship of the two.
"Quick! This way!"
"Get out! Don’t block the way!"
Suddenly, the sound of dense footsteps and shouts came from the alley entrance.
"So fast~"
"Not good, I just remembered, these shackles have a miniature array for locating us, we must move quickly."
However, Lunen noticed the young man who smashed the shackles did not move, but instead looked up into the sky.
"It’s... Roovenia!"
Lunen’s face changed dramatically, his voice trembled with fear, clearly indicating his deep fear at the sight of this person appearing.
