This might not sound like a problem on the surface. After all, the duo had waded through hordes of higher-level wraiths and the like when they had broken through the first encirclement, no?
Well, the problem was that back then, they had been at their peak. On the other hand, at the time they had encountered the ambush… they had not been feeling so good.
With his high Intellect, Darius had instantly realized just how deep the shit hole was, in which they were about to fall. His face had paled and he had quickly approached the wraiths to intercept them.
It would be difficult to use brute force to break through this ambush since they were stationary and well-spread out, as opposed to the first mob who had been unorganized and changing numbers quickly.
