Chapter 802 - Might of the Bug Adept
Chapter 802 Might of the Bug Adept
After a simple interrogation, the young pseudo-adept managed to pry out the location of that item from the mouth of the dying enemy.
A few days earlier, Lady Mary had led a group of adepts to destroy a second-class resource site belonging to the Kamala Clan. The Kamala adepts stationed at the site had died, but nearly half of the resources stored in the warehouse were gone.
Many Crimson apprentices were sent out to hunt down the Kamala remnants who got away.
He was undoubtedly fortunate to have caught the apprentices that had snuck out of the resource site. According to the clan’s rules, he was entitled to one-third of the spoils from this fight. A strange cheerful-yet-pained smile appeared on the pseudo-adept’s face when he thought of the massive number of resources from the second class resource site.
The storage ring stuffed full of resources had been hidden in the carriage of one of the apprentices. The young pseudo-adept cut off the golden-haired man’s head without any hesitation and strode toward the wagons. Just then, a sinister old man in white robes emerged from the darkness, leaning on a staff taller than himself and cackling as he showed himself.
The maple leaf emblem of the Kamala Clan was pinned before his chest.
“An adept. An official adept!”
These people who barely knew anything about the secrets of the adepts could only sigh as they packed up their bags and prepared to leave this temporary camp, even if they had to travel at night.
Now that the Kamala Clan had lost an adept here, they would be sure to send people to investigate this place.
If they remained here, then there was no doubt that they would become targets of investigation and revenge for the Kamala Clan. As such, most of the travelers and merchants fled the camp and left this battle-ravaged land without any hesitation.

Werning.
This place was the location of the Northern Witches’ Witch Council.
Alice was smiling as she talked with the few influential witch leaders in a magical room.
Supposedly, those who appeared here were all Fourth Grade witch leaders. Someone with such meager power like Alice shouldn’t even be seen here.
However, the strange ability of the Witch of Fate was far too significant. No witch leader dared to ignore or look down on any word that came out of Alice’s mouth.
After all, the might of a Witch of Fate depended on her compatibility with the powers of Fate, rather than her own prowess. Of course, the higher her power, the more immense the power of Fate she could wield. It made her an existence that no witch leader could afford to offend, only befriend.
In all seriousness, during the peak of the first Fate Witch’s reign, she could provide any witch leader with a powerful +3 Halo of Fate. That witch leader would become favored by the powers of Fate for the next year and remain in a state of extreme luck and fortune.
How terrifying was the might of +3 Luck?
With +1 Luck, you could find gold nuggets while eating rice, gold bars while you were drinking water, allies when you went outdoors, fox spirits that wished to repay your debt when you went into mountains, and powerful teachers desperate for a disciple when you tried to jump off a cliff and end your life.
WIth +2 Luck, you could stroll through a mountain of knives and a sea of fire, sleep soundly in a rain of bullets and arrows, or discover yourself to be the descendant of a legendary adept when you looked at your family tree.
And +3 Luck? You would win every gamble, regardless of how poor the chance to win. When you fought against powerful enemies, they would either bite their tongue while chanting or incite a magical backlash out of nowhere, causing them to be crippled for life.
Either way, a witch that obtained a luck blessing would become uncontestably powerful!
Though Second Grade Alice didn’t possess such terrifying blessing abilities yet, the witch leaders were willing to wait for her growth, given her immense potential for greatness.
Meanwhile, today’s gathering was a result of Alice’s invitations. As such, when the powerful Fourth Grade Death Witch Leader Khesuna, Dark Witch Leader Circe, and Pale Witch Leader Silvia appeared in the secret room, the atmosphere suddenly tensed up.
