Chapter 239: Episode 87 Matron

"You are old, and you have no reason to sit in the position of the first matron any longer!" Briza waved her hand, and the priests she had long since ambushed within the First House began to jointly cast spells on Batana.

Briza knew that with Batana’s strength, there was only one way to defeat her, and that was to attack, continuously attack. Batana’s destructive power was astonishing, but Briza did not believe that this old Drow could withstand the onslaught of the younger priests.

At this time, it was not only the Audience Room where the battle was taking place; throughout the domain of the family, Briza’s forces were suppressing the members of the First House with great effort. Zarra had long disappeared, the traitor Zilvra had left the family, Sinaphi was killed, and even the Martial Arts Master was missing, leaving the power of the First House completely paralyzed.

The ordinary priests couldn’t put up any effective resistance, and as for the typical family warriors, they were all being besieged by zombies. The newly joined Spider Priests, who controlled the Undead, naturally wanted to make them an effective fighting force.

Before long, the castle became a tangled mess, while at the outskirts of the family’s domain, the guard units, having lost their commanders, were quickly disarmed by the female priests who had launched a sudden assault. This group was precisely the core priests of the Second House that Briza had left behind — those Drow who had used corpses to stage their escape.

Lynch walked to the window and looked in the direction of the First House. It was not that he calculated anything, but rather a premonition. Normally, Lynch never believed in things that couldn’t be calculated, but this time, his premonition was more accurate than his calculations.

"What’s wrong? Are there more pursuers outside?" Zilvra nervously followed behind the mage, "Is there any weapon here? My thin sword is almost useless."

"No, there are no trackers." Lynch sighed, "We were really on the edge. If you had come any later, you might have vanished along with the First House. Briza has finally made her move."

"What are you talking about? I don’t understand." Zilvra looked at the mage, feeling that this man had many things deeply buried in his heart, "Tell me what is really going on here!

"Then come up with me. Moreover, you can meet someone who is also leaving the Underworld." Lynch laughed, "I’m sure you’ll like her."

"Her?" Zilvra became alert. Though she wasn’t very worried about Lynch abandoning her, she was concerned that the escape plan might be leaked. In Ratris City, no one could be trusted. Zilvra gambled with her life and went all in to establish trust here with Lynch; she didn’t have the confidence to trust others.

Little Soka flapped her wings, hovering in the air and looking outside through the window. Lynch and Zilvra came up, and she turned around happily: "Brother Lynch, you saved that sister!"

Zilvra looked at the little angel. In her impression, such winged creatures were either trophies to show off or sacrifices offered to the Spider Goddess. It wasn’t until she learned that her father was also an angel that her attitude towards such beings began to improve.

"Is this the little one who’s leaving the Underdark?" Zilvra appraised Soka up and down, "Indeed, leaving a child like this in the Underworld would be very pitiful. I know how the Dark Elves will torture..."

"Don’t scare her." Lynch said to Zilvra, "Both of you, come over. I’ll now lay out the general plan for the future."

At this time, the battle within the castle was nearing its end. Batana still stood before her throne, albeit looking disheveled, with most of her spell protections gone, and the rest dimmed, but she was still able to stand.

On the other hand, Briza had no priestly assistance left by her side. Just now, Batana did not defend herself; she attempted to rely on her enchantments and physical body to withstand the Second House’s wave of attacks. She used the precious opportunity gained from this exchange to counterattack the invaders. A powerful flame descended from the heavens, instantly disrupting the priests’ joint casting formation. Only Briza, who hadn’t moved at the start, had the chance to use a fire defense spell, avoiding major damage.
