"You are old, and there is no reason for you to sit in the place of the First Mistress!" With a

  wave of her hand, the priests of the First House, who had been lying in wait, began to cast

  spells on Batana.

  Brisha knew that with Batana's strength, there was only one way to overcome her, and that

  was to attack, attack and attack. Batana was devastating, but Brisha did not believe that the

  old Drow could withstand the siege of the young sacrifice.

  By this time, it was not only the Audience room that was fighting. Throughout the house

  compound, Burisha's men were struggling to keep down the original First House members.

  With Zena gone, the traitor Shelley gone, Sinafi killed, and even the Master of Martial Arts

  gone, the power of the First Family is completely paralyzed.

  Those common-sacrifice sacrifices don't offer much resistance, and as for the average family

  warrior, they're under siege by zombies. The new spider sacrifices control the undead and

  naturally need to make them effective.

  Before long, the castle was in a state of chaos, and outside the family compound, the

  guardsmen, who had lost their commander, were quickly disarmed by the raiding priestesses.

  These were the core priests of the second family that Brisha had reserved -- the Drow who

  had used corpses to escape their shells.

  Vincent walked over to the window and looked in the direction of the First family. It was not

  that he had calculated anything, but that he had a hunch. Vincent had never believed anything

  that could not be calculated, but this time his hunch was better than his calculation.

  "What's the matter? Is there another hunt out there? ' Shelley nervously followed the master.

  "Are there any weapons here? My thin sword is on its last legs."

  'No, there is no tracker.' Vincent sighed. 'It was really close. If you had come any longer, you

  might have disappeared with the First family. Brisha finally got his hands dirty."

  "What are you talking about? I don't understand." Shelley looked at the Master and thought

  the man had a lot of things buried deep inside him. "You tell me what's going on!"

  "Then come with me. Plus, you can meet someone who's leaving the underworld just like

  you." Vincent laughs, "You'll love her."

  "Her?" Shelley was alert. She wasn't too worried that Vincent would abandon her, but she was

  worried that her escape plan would be leaked. In the city of Prudence, no one can be trusted.

  Shelley risked her life to establish trust with Vincent. She did not have the confidence to trust

  others.

  Little Sokka flaps her wings, floats in the air and looks out the window. When Vincent and

  Shelley came up, she turned round with joy. "Brother Vincent, you saved that sister!"

  Shelley looked at the cherub. She was under the impression that this winged creature, in

  addition to being a trophy to show off, was a sacrifice to the spider goddess. It was only when

  she learned that her father was an angel that her attitude toward the creature began to

  improve.

  "Is this the little thing leaving the Underdark?" Shelley looked Sokka up and down. "Sure, it

  would be miserable for a child like that to leave Undercroft. I knew what the dark elves would

  do..."

  'You mustn't frighten her.' Vincent turned to Shelley and said, "Come here, you two. Now I'll

  tell you the general plan for the future."

  By this time, as the battle in the castle drew to a close, Batana was still standing before her

  throne, a little discomfited, with most of her spell protection gone and what remained

  dimmed, but still able to stand.

  Brisha, by contrast, had no priest at her side to assist her. Just now Batana has no defense,

  trying to withstand the wave of Second Family attacks with her magic and physical strength.

  Use this precious opportunity to counterattack the invaders. Powerful flames come down from

  the sky, destroying the priests' joint spell. Only Burisha, who was initially passive, was able to

  use a spell to defend against the flames without taking much damage.

  Seizing this advantage, Batana began to overwhelm her opponent. One by one, Brisha's priest

  fell. On her own, the First Mother soon came back.

  At this moment there was a sharp pain in the family crest, just as Vincent had felt the last time

  he had destroyed the consultant's crest. Unlike the usual method of destruction, the method

  used by the Counselor can make the mother feel very uncomfortable. The feeling of Shelley's

  utter betrayal left her with a pain in her chest and a halt to her magic.

  Brisha doesn't understand why Batana stopped, but she keeps thanking the spider goddess

  for it. She seized the opportunity and frantically began to attack.

  The First mother's magic powers were almost exhausted, and she turned away at once. Behind

  the throne in the Audience Hall was a secret passage already prepared, leading to a place

  where she could regain her advantage.

  Brisha ran after her at once, but she did not know how to enter it. Her heart was filled with

  remorse as she watched her worst enemy leave. There was nothing the young mistress could

  do. She fell on her knees and prayed aloud to the spider goddess for help.

  Batana stumbled through the secret passage, her destination being the seal room at the

  bottom of the castle. There, the First Family still held a god captive. Although it is only the

  body of the God and has lost most of its power, it is not impossible to recapture the First

  family with his help.

  What's more, the monsters in the Seal Room will obey the commands of their own blood.

  Though the consequence of releasing all the monsters that have long been banished in the

  creation of the city of Prudence could have repercussions throughout the Underdark, Batana

  now has no choice.

  "Never make an enemy of Batana. Never give her the time of day." The main mothers who

  know this are mostly lost in the long years of struggle. As the door of the sealing room slowly

  opened, Batana looked into the room with excitement. "Come out! Monsters of the abyss!

  Hear me, and I will be free!"

  There was no answer from the room, which was as empty and silent as the First Family castle

  itself.

  When Batana entered the room, they were all demonic corpses, not even a single body intact,

  as if they had been melted by a powerful force, consumed by a terrible energy, and reeked

  of mutilation.

  Stench! Looking at some of the long-decomposed bodies, Batana roughly calculated the

  monsters' time of death. She recalls that Zeena had reported to her that Shelley had thrown

  Vincent out of the seal room. When she saw the consultant Master in good condition, she

  This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

  treated it as a joke.

  "Don't..." Batana's body shook, as if she couldn't take the blow: "He killed all these monsters?

  How is that possible?"

  Thinking of this, she anxiously searched for the god of prophecy. Just as she had feared, the

  old god, who had lost his powers, also fell down, lay motionless, and died.

  'Vincent! The crawler! You have already begun to interfere with my plans!" Batana shouted

  angrily, "Even if the First family is destroyed, I will show you what real hell is like! Shelley, you

  brute! I should have strangled you!"

  Batana quickly left the seal room and made her way through the secret passage toward the

  Black Crystal Tower. At this point she had overlooked the fact that the body of the God of

  Prophecy had not decayed at all. He had only died in the last few days.

  The whole city of Prudence was gradually alarmed by what had happened at the First House,

  and all eyes were fixed on it. No one knew who was attacking the First Family, and they

  watched silently, wondering if tomorrow's Prudence City would be the same as yesterday's.

  Batana, who was supposed to be the focus of the storm, has long since left the First House

  and appears alone beneath the Black Crystal Tower.

  All Matriarchs have access to the tower, and the Tower's own defenses are unresponsive to

  the First Matriarch. The gate opened in front of the Matriarch, and in came Batana.

  Vincent felt it the moment the door opened. He dissuades Shelley, who wants to help, and

  asks her to take care of the angel. Alone with his staff of power, the mage went to the first

  floor of the tower.

  "Hello, Madame, your counsellor Vincent salutes you." The mage saw Batana's face and knew

  that she was unstable. Although he did not know how much strength this powerful woman

  had left, it would be best if he could keep her in suspense.

  'Counsellor? How dare you call yourself a consultant!" Batana looked at Vincent as a jet of fire

  shot toward him.

  Vincent had been prepared and waved his wand, and the ice pick and the flame met, leaving

  a mist of water in the air that cancelled each other out.

  "Dear Mother, you have never relieved me of my duties, and I am still waiting for a new

  counselor's badge." Vincent was still smiling, as if the attack had not happened, "I think that

  badge would be very beautiful if it were made of gold!"

  'Vincent! Don't you dare mention it! You consultant! You're the consultant who destroyed the

  First Family! You are a reptile, a lowly maggot, and a shameless arachnid! You shall not see

  the light of tomorrow's shining stone! I shall torment you with all my pain!"

  Vincent laughed twice. "Although I have become a reptile, I am no longer an advisor to the

  First Family. So, old woman, are you sure you can defeat me?"

  "Oomph! Do you think you can fight me by killing the ancient god of prophecy?" Batana

  sneers: "No! Never! The spider goddess has given me such power that I am her agent on

  earth!"

  Kill the God of prophecy? Vincent froze for a moment. When he left the sealed room, the God

  of Prophecy and he were both intact. How could he have killed him? It seemed that Batana

  had lost her nerve, Vincent thought.

  "The power of the spider goddess is nothing." Vincent continued, "Do you remember Zeena,

  your oldest daughter? She was turned into an arachnid by the power of the spider goddess.

  And now what? Haven't I changed her back? The power of God? Jokes!" Vincent continued

  to crack this Batana's will: "You know what? Regula and Zeena have joined forces, and they

  are right behind you, ready to take revenge on you. Against... That's it, dark elf style revenge!"

  Batana hurriedly turned her head, only to find emptiness behind her. When she realises that

  she has been deceived and confronts Vincent again, a bright white light has reached her.

  Vincent used all his strength. The silver floating ball of light constantly sent the magic source

  energy to the staff of Power. The strong lightning swept toward the first Mistress like a rushing

  torrent.

  Batana's reflexive use of the magic void. Lightning is no longer effective in this small protective

  barrier. Although Vincent is still pumping out power, not a trace of current exists within this

  boundary.

  "Master! Is your brain rusty? Attack under such circumstances?" Batana burst out laughing:

  "Let me pry open your head shell and see what's inside!"

  "Dear Madam Batana" Vincent is still smiling, "I want to tell you something, something very

  important."

  The mage paused deliberately.

  "My lightning, it will explode."

  Batana was blown straight off by the thunderbolt, hit in the chest like a broken cone used to

  attack the gate, and without uttering a single snort, she flew straight out of the window of the

  Blackcrystal Tower, leaving a red trail of blood in the air.

  Vincent rushed out, his intention being to send Drow mother flying against the wall. The mage

  knew that Batana, as a senior priest, must have a way of healing herself, and that any

  carelessness would restore her strength. The next time there would not necessarily be a

  chance to paralyze her.

  Sure enough, Batana still did not die. She lay on the ground with her right hand to the sky,

  spitting out blood as she said, "Great spider goddess, your servant asks you to give me the

  power to be born again, and I will, as always, bring forth your glory!"

  "The spider goddess has heard your request, young mistress. What do you want?" "In the First

  Family's audience room, a neutral voice was speaking to Mother Brisha, who was on her knees.

  "I want to be the first mistress of the city of Prudence, and I want Batana dead! "Says Brisha.

  "What do you sacrifice?"

  Brisha drew his dagger, aimed it at his right hand, and cut it down. She turned the excruciating

  pain into a loud cry: "I give the glory of my life! To the great spider goddess!"

  "You must make an offering that pleases the Spider goddess..." The voice faded away.

  Batana finished the incantation, raised her right hand, and waited for the divine power to

  come and heal all her wounds. But in the end, her voice was nothing more than the desperate

  cry of a dying person to the heavens, with no power to heal her.

  The First mother with a strong willpower to support, she believes that this is the goddess of

  her test, and then the next moment, the divine grace may come at any time, she will still

  become the first mother, the strongest dark elf sacrifice.

  When Vincent rushed over, Mother Batana had breathed her last, her hand was still stiffly

  raised in the air...
