Chapter 530 - 284: Drow Matron Mother
In the spore forest at the west side of the battlefield.
"Huh? In that direction, did any of you sense anything just now?"
A Drow High-tier Priestess of the Breagan Family, somewhat surprised, glanced at the entrance of the hidden path and questioned her companion with doubt.
"I felt it too. There seems to be quite strong energy fluctuation underground in that direction."
"Indeed, but the energy fluctuation of this magic is somewhat unfamiliar."
The four Drow High-tier Priestesses all furrowed their thin eyebrows, whispering amongst themselves.
Unlike the Urein Empire’s Fourteenth Legion or the Wandering Eye Tyrant currently engaged in fierce battle.
Because the Breagan Family’s high-tier priestesses and elites were hiding and did not join the fight, they were able to sense from miles away the fluctuation of the Seventh Level Spell Raine released in the underground passage.
However, partly due to the distance, and partly due to the overwhelming and dense magical energy fluctuations at the center of the battlefield affecting detailed perception, they did not detect specific details.
"Do we need to send someone over to take a look?"
"We can send someone to check it out."
...
Meanwhile.
Inside the passage.
Raine felt as if his entire head was empty, like the feeling of mental exhaustion after staying up late to the extreme in a previous life, draining all his spiritual energy.
Taking a deep breath, Raine tried to alleviate the discomfort caused by the sudden drain of a large amount of spiritual power, then he turned his gaze to Meredith, only to see Meredith stepping forward to collect the spoils of war in his place.
His gaze moved upward.
Looking toward the entrance of the passage.
"Luckily, no one has come to investigate yet."
At this moment, Raine hesitated, unsure whether to exit through the front entrance to assess the battlefield situation or to retreat the way they came, and leave quickly.
Because at this point, he was entirely unfit to engage in another high-intensity battle.
With spiritual power greatly depleted, even trying to release another Fifth Level Spell was likely out of reach.
Without a doubt, this had a significant impact on his combat capability.
Seeing Raine’s face slightly pale, Meredith, who had just gathered the spoils, quickly pulled out a bottle of light blue potion and handed it to Raine:
"I just found this from the high-tier priest’s waist pouch. It should be the high-level spiritual recovery potion that they prepared for themselves. There were originally a few more bottles, but they were shattered by your previous attack."
"Oh? High-level spiritual recovery potion?" Raine’s eyes lit up at once!
He accepted the bottle, removed the stopper, sniffed it, and even just smelling it made him feel somewhat refreshed.
Delighted, Raine took a small sip, and a cool, minty sensation spread throughout his body from his mouth, turning into gentle coolness that seeped toward his head. Soon, Raine felt as if he were soaking in a hot spring, with his spiritual power slightly restored.
Without a doubt, this was indeed a rather high-level spiritual recovery potion.
Drinking it in one gulp, Raine and Meredith then took a few steps back to a junction further back.
"Let’s rest for a while."
"Mm, alright."
Raine planned to take a short break for a few minutes, allowing the spiritual recovery potion to fully take effect while taking this opportunity to properly consider the next course of action.
Seemingly thinking of something, Raine, feeling the gentle cool current in his body concentrating in his head, cast his gaze toward the sixteen-slot bag.
Three Drow High-tier Priestess icons, along with one Captain of the Guards icon were in plain sight.
This brought a burst of satisfaction to Raine.
’Great, finally gathered four, but I wonder if they can be fused into a Matron Mother?’
In the Drow Elf society, the Matron Mother at the top of the family hierarchy was undoubtedly the strongest.
Even in the lowest-ranked Drow families, their Matron Mother was at least a quasi-legendary strong figure, not to mention those of middle or even top-ranked families.
With excitement and a twinge of anxiety, Raine quickly placed these four icons into the bloodline slot.
As the system prompted "Fuse: Yes/No," Raine swiftly chose "Yes!"
In an instant!
The Drow High-tier Priestess and Captain of the Guards bloodline icons in the second, third, and fourth slots suddenly became blurry and then quickly vanished, while the Drow High-tier Priestess icon in the first slot rapidly changed.
The previously pretty face became increasingly dignified, and the hairstyle also became more elaborate, forming the shape of a black spider atop the head.
With the emergence of the new icon, Raine immediately focused his attention there, and the name of the new icon surfaced in his mind—’Drow Matron Mother’
’Is it really a Matron Mother?’
’Fantastic!’
Raine praised inwardly, his eyes slightly widening, a smile immediately appearing on his face.
Meredith, intrigued, glanced at the suddenly smiling and daydreaming Raine beside her, with a slightly puzzled expression.
However, Meredith did not voice any interruption.
Meanwhile, Raine quickly checked the bloodline talents and spell-like abilities of the ’Drow Matron Mother’.
The bloodline talents remained two: ’Elf Heritage’ and ’Innate Spellcasting’, but the levels were much higher, both reaching lv4.
Elf Heritage lv4, Effect: Resistance to charm and advanced sleep, intermediate resistance to spiritual magic.
Innate Spellcasting lv4, Effect: Intelligence +10, speed of learning any magic increased by 40%, all tricks require no spellcasting materials.
