Chapter 658: Chapter 350: Upheaval in the Underdark

Meanwhile.

Underdark.

Beneath the city of Kleit.

In terms of geographical formation, although Kleit City is the top-ranked main city of the Drow Elves, it is no different from other Drow Elf main cities, being located within a gigantic cavern.

However, at this moment, the usual bustling scene is replaced by the sounds of shouting, clashing of weapons, and the rumbling of heavy war golems.

In a far corner at the southwest of the cavern, Meredith is concealed in a secluded rock crevice, observing the battlefield center through a copper monocular telescope covered with coarse linen cloth.

Ever since learning that Belendaan was completely annihilated by the Urein Empire, Meredith decided to return once more to the Underdark to check on the Breagan Family.

Even though she was deemed a traitor, Belendaan, where she grew up, naturally held sentimental value to her. When she heard this news, her heart was shaken.

Another reason was that her father, Lunen, was eager to find out if any members of the Breagan Family had survived; during his imprisonment, a small number of family members had taken good care of him.

After days of tracking and searching, following the scattered trails of the Breagan Family members, Meredith arrived at Kleit City, witnessing the epic battle unfolding before her.

On the city walls of Kleit, she not only saw the matriarch of her own Breagan Family but also witnessed a total of six matriarchs jointly facing the Urein Empire’s army.

This was a scene rarely seen among the scheming Drow Elf families.

Yet, the battlefield situation remained unfavorable for the Drow.

’Even this can’t stop them?’

’The Urein Empire is truly too strong!’ Meredith’s heart was shocked.

The copper monocular telescope in her hand swept across a corner of the battlefield.

A Drow warrior had just pierced a battle blade into the armor of a Urein Empire soldier, believing it was a sure victory, only to be surprised when the blade was tightly gripped by the opponent.

On the other side, a longsword flashed like lightning, also piercing into the lower back of the Drow warrior.

The Drow warrior, in pain, drew a dagger from his waist, stabbing another attacking Urein Empire soldier from behind. Soon, both sides were severely injured and collapsed.

But even with a two-for-one or three-for-one exchange, Meredith knew the Drow could not sustain it.

Because, whether population base or reproduction rate, the Urein Empire, as the strongest nation among humans, was five to ten times that of the Drow Elves.

As the copper monocular telescope shifted slightly.

A four to five-meter tall, wholly metal war golem was breaking into the battle formation of the Drow warriors.

Although Drow Elf mages behind it continuously cast magic spells, the surface of the Urein Empire’s war golem was covered with complex runes, which lit up, nullifying the spells.

Its sawtooth swords on both arms, buzzing with high-speed rotation, were slashing rapidly sideways and vertically during the charge.

In the blink of an eye, an injured Drow warrior, unable to dodge, was sawed in half at the waist.

If this were an isolated case, it would be tolerable, but the problem was that there were dozens of such war golems throughout the battlefield.

Additionally, there were over a hundred other war golems of various designs, which posed a great problem for the Drow.

"Boom!!"

A loud explosion echoed from above, and Meredith quickly lifted the copper monocular telescope slightly.

She saw, entering her view, a human Legendary Mage holding a fiery red crystal staff, suspended in mid-air, battling a beautiful Drow Mother with spider-shaped braids atop her head.

If she was not mistaken, the opponent was Valsha, the third-ranking matriarch of the Diver Clan among the Drow Elves!

Two powerful fighters, both at least of mid-legendary combat power, fought fiercely in the air, and there were no less than five or six such airborne duels on this level.

But...

What drew Meredith’s attention the most, and indeed everyone’s on the field, were the two imposing figures in the center of the battlefield, whom no one dared approach.

One of them, with a beautiful, glamorous female Drow upper body and a spider lower body, was the newly arrived Abyssal Spider Queen, Rose, the Mother of Darkness of the Drows.

Facing her was Emperor Taros III of the Urein Empire.

The opponent held a short sword emitting a nebula-like glow, wore a silver mask, and a crown, obscuring his true appearance.

"Emperor among mortals, your ambition is too great and too arrogant; you covet what you should not covet."

"Spider Queen, whether I am arrogant, you will soon find out."

After a brief conversation, an incomprehensible battle commenced.

In what seemed like an instant, the two figures clashed hundreds of times in the air, so fast that even Meredith, with her transcendent combat power, could not clearly see them.

"Clang!!!"

With a sound reverberating throughout the giant cavern, Meredith once again saw the two figures.

As if they had never exchanged blows, the two figures remained in their original positions.

At this moment, several chanting voices arose from multiple directions, and in the next moment, Spider Queen Rose’s face suddenly changed, and it was then that Meredith was astonished to find that both Taros III and Spider Queen Rose had disappeared.
