Kuáng Tāo Màn Juǎn held the golden tower shield and charged forward with a Heroic Strike, attracting one of the Manticore Scorpions. Then, with a sweeping Shield Bash, he blocked three of them.

His movements were also very agile. How could he hold the position of chief main MT of the Sacred Roman Empire's elite team without some skill?

The three Manticore Scorpions relentlessly attacked Kuáng Tāo Màn Juǎn. Damage values floated above his head. Beams of white light landed on Kuáng Tāo Màn Juǎn, and his health fluctuated constantly.

Even with a main MT's defense, he still couldn't withstand such a fierce attack.

The melee classes nearby, including Half-Awake Fox, quickly came up to share some of the pressure on Kuáng Tāo Màn Juǎn.

"Be careful to remove paralysis!"

"Understood!" Kuáng Tāo Màn Juǎn responded.

In the rear, the mage formation glowed with brilliance. Some were chanting high-damage spells, while others had already released their magic, which exploded on the Manticore Scorpions' heads. The first Manticore Scorpion was blasted away.

Niè Yán circled behind the remaining two Manticore Scorpions and used a Stun and a Vital Strike on one of them.

-103, -123. Two damage values floated above the Manticore Scorpion's head.

"Damn, what kind of damage is that?" The team members were a little dazed. Was that a rogue's attack? How could it be more powerful than some warriors in the team?

In their minds, warriors had higher attack power than rogues, and rogues had faster attack speed than warriors. That was the norm. Seeing such a formidable rogue, they were a little surprised.

Niè Yán's dual daggers were both powerful and fast. He was simply a monster.

Bang, bang. The remaining two Manticore Scorpions fell to the ground one after another. The whole team coordinated smoothly and efficiently. Even Niè Yán found it impeccable.

After killing three Manticore Scorpions, the thirteen Manticore Scorpions behind them all pounced.

All six warriors went to the front, including Half-Awake Fox. Behind them were the Holy Knights, who also wore plate armor. Therefore, they occasionally acted as warriors. Some well-equipped Holy Knights even had defensive abilities no less than those of warriors.

"Damn, these Manticore Scorpions have high attack power. Kuáng Tāo, hold that Manticore Scorpion leader." Half-Awake Fox was shocked. He saw his health dropping rapidly. If he was like this, let alone the others.

The Manticore Scorpions' attacks were still a little beyond Half-Awake Fox's imagination, making them struggle to cope. Fortunately, several warriors blocked the positions. Otherwise, if so many Manticore Scorpions exerted their full combat power, the consequences would be disastrous.

It was clearly inappropriate to measure the difficulty of an expert-level dungeon by the standards of a normal dungeon.

"Fēng Lěng, use Searing Meteor, or it will be too late." Half-Awake Fox called out nervously. The healers were under great pressure. Even a small mistake could lead to serious consequences. He had to use his trump card in advance.

Searing Meteor, a Sanctuary spell?

Niè Yán wanted to stop him, but it was too late. The Holy Word Mage named Fēng Lěng pulled out a scroll of golden magic text and began to chant the spell.

"What a waste to use a Sanctuary spell in this place." Niè Yán thought in frustration. If they had Searing Meteor, they could use it when the Manticore Scorpion King had little health left, which would save a lot of trouble. Now that it had been used, he couldn't stop it.

Among the many categories of magic, the strongest included the Sanctuary magic of humans, the Koshat magic of giants, the Fanatical magic of orcs, the Moon God magic of elves, the Black Magic of demonkin tribes, the Destiny magic of undead tribes, and some lesser magic, such as the Elemental Temple magic, etc. They were full of regional and cultural characteristics and were closely related to the players' beliefs.

However, the power of these spells was beyond doubt.

Sanctuary magic was also divided into sixteen levels.

Searing Meteor was the lowest level one magic in Sanctuary magic. Even the lowest-level magic was extremely powerful among players. Its magic cooldown time was two natural days. Moreover, casting a Sanctuary spell was a very complicated thing.

First of all, you had to have a Sanctuary magic text. It took nearly an hour to copy the Sanctuary magic Searing Meteor onto the magic text and provide the magic text with enough magic power to support the spell. A most ordinary level one magic required at least more than a thousand magic points. That is to say, a Holy Word Mage like Fēng Lěng had to input about three tubes of magic points to copy a magic text.

At the same time, after casting a Searing Meteor, he had to wait two natural days before he could cast it a second time, which showed how complicated it was.

Of course, not everyone could learn Sanctuary magic if they wanted to. A Sanctuary magic skill book was currently worth at least one gold coin. Moreover, it wasn't something you could buy just because you had money.

Half-Awake Fox asked Fēng Lěng to cast Searing Meteor, partly because the situation was relatively critical, and partly because he wanted to show Niè Yán his strength and financial resources.

Not every team could find Sanctuary magic.

Under the fierce attacks of the Manticore Scorpions, Half-Awake Fox and others retreated steadily, and time passed by minute by minute.

Ten seconds, twenty seconds, thirty seconds. After three sets of gestures and a set of syllables, the golden magic text in Fēng Lěng's hand emitted a dazzling light. Hot clouds condensed in the sky, and countless white meteors fell from the sky.

Pa, pa, pa. A rain of meteors hit the heads of the many Manticore Scorpions in front.

-302, -321, -301, -310, -310. A dazzling array of numbers floated up, and each meteor bloomed with dazzling light, like white lotuses, gorgeous and dazzling.

After only three waves of Searing Meteor, a row of Manticore Scorpions fell down, leaving only the Manticore Scorpion leader. The meteors fell on the Manticore Scorpion leader's head. After five full waves of meteors, the Manticore Scorpion leader had only residual health left.

Then, more than ten other magic attacks bombarded the Manticore Scorpion leader, killing it.

If it weren't for this Searing Meteor skill, it would be extremely difficult for them to deal with the Manticore Scorpions, and they might have been wiped out here.

The ground was covered with the corpses of Manticore Scorpions. Several rogues from Half-Awake Fox's team went over and cleaned up the loot.

"How was that spell?" Half-Awake Fox was slightly smug, but he didn't show it. In his opinion, Niè Yán might not have seen such a powerful spell, and he must have had his eyes opened.

Niè Yán smiled wryly and said, "It's too wasteful to use Sanctuary magic here. What if we encounter the next nest of Manticore Scorpions?"

Niè Yán wasn't a country bumpkin. He had seen far more things than Half-Awake Fox, so he wasn't surprised to see Sanctuary magic.

Half-Awake Fox was making a big deal out of nothing by using Sanctuary magic here. If they encountered the next nest of Manticore Scorpions, wouldn't they still be unable to get through?

Hearing Niè Yán's words, Half-Awake Fox was slightly embarrassed. He was unwilling to use Sanctuary magic unless he had no other choice. The situation just now was too urgent, and he also wanted to show off his financial resources by using Sanctuary magic, but he was despised by Niè Yán instead. Niè Yán could recognize it as Sanctuary magic at a glance, and he seemed to know more than him. Who exactly was this guy?
