Underground.
A solemn team of mages is advancing.
These mages are not elves, but they wear standardized armor. Each piece radiates a soft light, illuminating the surroundings while providing formidable protection.
Silently, they traverse the underground, and while unable to instantly kill demons, they handle them with ease. Even when reaching the threshold that causes demons nearby to react, their progress never slows.
In the shadows, Hilia silently observes these people.
"Are these the support troops of the Phoenix Kingdom?"
They might not identify a demon's weak spot as quickly as she can, nor possess Elina's keen perception of life elements, but they can still swiftly locate and kill a demon's weakness during combat.
"Each squad is generally led by one Tier Five Mage and consists of four Tier Four Mages... Their tactical level in this underground world allows them to advance effortlessly, but Lord Rose said they..."
Saying this, Hilia shakes her head.
