They all held bows and arrows, intending to shoot the mercenaries into sieves!
People struggled, but couldn't break through the sturdy iron cage in a short time—it was modified from the cage used for sealing the Curse Frog in Dark Souls II—so the magicians quickly set up protective shields to fend off the attacks, but merely defending wasn't a solution!
In this critical moment, Kent appeared calm as he crouched down to feel the ground, nodded, and said, "Blast the ground open, we'll go below."
"Is there really a path below!?"
"Just blast it!"
When the dense barrage of arrows rained down, an explosion followed, the ground cracked open delightfully after a tremor, revealing a dim space below, one that wouldn't kill anyone from the jump down!
"Jump now, before the cage falls down with us!"
The mercenaries jumped down quickly, barely catching their breaths before rolling aside. Almost instantly, the ground split open even more, and the iron cage fell down too!
