The snake-men pressed in step by step, trapping Lynch and his group of uninvited guests with no way out. Suddenly, a piercing sound erupted as a giant spider, as tall as a three-story building, crashed through about twenty snake-men, appearing out of thin air from the center of their ranks.
"Hurry up and set the Dwarf Bombs!" Lynch discarded the now-useless Summoning Scroll to the ground, holding the Arcane Wand in front of him, and shouted to his teammates, "Gather together as much as possible, cover each other! And watch out for arrows from above!"
The snake-men were initially uncertain about the purpose of the mage group, after all, so far, only those serving the serpent could pass through the Black Stone Portal. The surrounding maneuver was merely because this was a military restricted area, where entry and exit were forbidden without proper orders for safety's sake.
