Chapter 700
[Beep. Dodge ten meters to the left.]
A blazing stream of fire shot out of the right side of Greem’s giant body, propelling him a short distance to the right.
The flame humanoid had just vacated his original spot when a massive ball of acid landed on the grass below, dissolving all grass within a ten-meter radius and turning it into a slimy black liquid.
Greem lifted his head and looked at the diving green dragon and the female elf, who was still firing arrows at him. He wasted no energy in dodging those Surestrike shots and instead fired out innumerable magical fireballs in succession, drowning his enemy in a storm of magic.
Aooooo!
A loud, pained roar later, the great green dragon managed to break through the explosive zone of the fireballs with its tough Physique. With a single swipe of his powerful claws, it shattered the afterimage that Greem had left behind. The green dragon then flared its wings and took the female elf into the skies again, kicking dust and debris into the air.
Meanwhile, the flame humanoid appeared a hundred meters away. Greem calmly removed the magical wind arrows embedded in his body and crushed them between his magma hands. One by one, the wind arrows cracked and fell into pieces.
The green dragon was once again in the sky and had just locked onto the flame giant’s position when three fist-sized phantom golems appeared nearby. They grinned sinisterly and charged toward the female elf.
In the end, this trivial pursuit ended with the elves’ loss as the flying ship hid within the cloud layer!
The elves arrived at the Pegasus Magic Spring and silently looked upon the missing stone statue. Their faces were filled with downcast expressions. The surviving pegasi were furious, but there was nothing they could do.
The loss of the stone pegasus statue meant the loss of the endless magic spring water.
What this meant to the pegasi was evident and certain!
Perhaps it wouldn’t even take a hundred years for the once famous pegasi to go extinct from the Continent of Garan.
…………
In contrast to the anguish of the elves, the flying ship was filled with an atmosphere of joy and celebration.
Dark Witch Uzzah’s was in a pleased mood after completing all the missions her leader had assigned to her. Even when she once again saw Greem, it was a gentle smile that appeared on her usually cold and sinister face.
“Kid, you did well this time! Regardless of what grudges or disagreements we Dark Witches might have with you and your people, from today onward, I can speak for the Dark Witches and let all that be bygones. If you are willing to come to develop in the Northern Lands, I can speak for our leader and extend a very warm welcome!”
The fact that Uzzah was able to publicly utter such words despite her typical disdain for male adepts was more than enough proof that Greem had won the respects of this Third Grade Dark Witch. These words from her was also an acknowledgment and praise for his power and the faction he led.
The unexpected release from captivity after the underground trip and the fully-committed help with the magic spring this time had indirectly caused Dark Witch Uzzah to owe two major favors to Greem and Alice.
If they had been so willing to help, then they had an excellent reason to do so!
Uzzah pondered the mystery and decided that the key lay within the mysterious actions of the Fate Witches this time.
The Fate Witch branch had only been revived for less than a hundred years. Rationality dictated that any training of their witches should merely involve the less dangerous small-sized planes. Yet, this time, they had committed all their forces to venture to this dangerous plane of Faen.
Dark Witch Uzzah would never believe it if someone told her that there was no secret lying behind this!
Perhaps something that they desperately needed resided on Faen, or maybe the Fate Witches wanted to gather the powers of Fate in Faen. Neither option was something that the Fate Witches could accomplish alone with their currently meager strength.
A request always followed immense courtesy. Now, it was just a matter of seeing what the Fate Witches would ask of her.
