Chapter 54: Ascent Through Shadows

Liora stared at the dead body of the goblin for a few seconds, letting out a frustrated sigh. She couldn't afford to idle around any longer; eventually, the goblins would figure out that the women hostages had escaped.

The dungeon wall fell to the floor with a loud thud as Liora arrived on the other side. She quickly began to move towards the first floor, where she encountered the Venom Spiders again.

This time, she didn't want to rely on the help of her summons or Talon, but instead, fight the enemies on her own.

There were about six of them, standing 100 meters from her, all patiently and cunningly waiting for Liora to make the first move. She took a step forward, and the Venom Spiders took a step forward as well.
