The atmosphere was serious for a while and this silent atmosphere was broken by werewolf jumping out of nowhere. Many others followed the suit and jumped out from different directions.
Fortunately the magician lili casted a wide area shield which could hold them for a while. The archer was firing his arrows nonstop at those werewolves while being inside the barrier. But it wasn't very effective because of the high regenerative ability.
There were roughly 6 or 7 werewolves but it was hard to deal with them. Werewolves had high regenerative ability. This innate ability was always a headache to adventurers and hunters. Not to mention their raw strength and fearless nature.
The wide area shield wasn't a durable spell to begin with. It won't be long before it will be broken. The magician lili was chanting hurriedly.
Just as the barrier was about to be broken magician lili's chant came to a stop and she swung her both arms high up in the sky while shouting "Hell Fire!!"
The small magic stuff in her light up, specially the tiny small bead at the top of the staff. Suddenly 2 giant fire walls rose from both sides of our team and the werewolves' vision was blocked. Even the two werewolves that were caught on fire were almost burned to death. It could be seen that it was a high level magician spell.
Magician lili controlled her mana to create a path on both sides. The burly tank girl and the archer went one side while the handsome priest and Maxwell went the other side leaving me and the magician inside the flame wall. This caught the enemy off guard and was fiercely attacked by Maxwell and his team.
Magician lili was chanting again amidst the flame walls. The flame wall was already diminishing and she still continued to chant.
Meanwhile both sides fought vigorously. It was still day time so their regenerative ability wasn't at the peak without the moonlight. The tank covered the archer while the archer dealt damage to the werewolves but the priest healed the warrior and he alone fought and covered the priest.
They fought intensely and cornered the several werewolves in a place and suddenly a large fireball fell on them making them grill in the fire. Afterwards everyone jumped, cooperated and slaughtered the werewolves.
After a long time, did they heaved a sigh of relief. Everyone had to take a rest and treat their wounds. Everyone rested. Louis asked their situation and helped them whatever he could. After all, they had fought to protect him.
Amidst the fight I also tried to throw stones or do whatever to gain some contributions in the battle so that I could get some exp share but it seems you can't share experience points with mercenaries bot.
After resting for a good time they started their journey again. There were many more monsters that they met afterwards but it wasn't an all out fight. After searching for a day and half they finally found a shrine in the middle of the mountain. Everyone was astounded to find something like this deep in the Blood Hill Wilderness. There were only 2 words written on the sign board…
"Darkness Shrine!!!"
