Frightened, Merlin took several steps backward while his Paladins summoned their shields and aimed the tip of their broad sword at Cristian.
Each of them was at the peak of Tier 2 and coupled with their discipline and cooperation, they became a force to be taken seriously.
However, before Merlin could take a breath of relief, three arrows pierced into the eyes of three Paladins.
It was so sudden that both he and the adventurers could only react when their heavy corpses hit the ground.
"An archer!" The Olympian bellowed, raising his round shield, while the elf rolled to the side and sent a sword arc toward Cristian.
Crossing his arms, Cristian cast a filmy fire shield that blocked the arc. At that moment, a dark figure shot out of his shadow, shooting ivory-white objects.
Two swordsmen were unable to deflect the onslaught and fell to the ground, spasming as the poison destroyed their internal organs.
