Although he could defeat the Two-headed Giant, and was still unclear about the situation within the hidden passage, Laird felt a spiritual warning and danger alert as a mid-tier Transcendent.
"Retreat!" Laird immediately gestured a retreating Hand Sign and said.
Just as the Urein Empire's tracking squad turned to leave, suddenly, from the passage behind them, where there shouldn't have been monsters, a dense black energy beam shot out.
"Boom!!"
Laird's reaction was swift, and the Shield in his hand happened to block the incoming Erosion Energy ray.
But the power of the Sixth Level Spell was extraordinary; even though he blocked it, the explosion shockwave sent him flying backward, directly into the Monster army coming from the depths.
The other squad members were also knocked askew by the explosion.
