Chapter 694
It was a sinister and frightening magical hall.
The Fourth Grade turned and left after tossing Alice into this hall.
Alice struggled up from the cold floor and started to sort out her messy hair and clothes. She then casually began assessing this magical hall.
Her first impression upon seeing this hall was– big and tall!
It was clearly underground Garan, but these odd undead had managed to forcefully excavate a massive cavern and furnished such a gigantic and magnificent magical hall out of it.
Alice looked around her from the middle of the hall and realized that she couldn’t see the surrounding walls. This massive space might be enveloped in darkness, but it shouldn’t have been able to obscure or weaken Alice’s sight.
The only possibility remaining was that she was over a thousand meters away from the walls and the edges of the hall.
That was the only possible scenario in this situation!
Alice fainted the moment she set foot upon the flying ship.
After the combined inspection of multiple Fate Witches, they came to a terrifying conclusion– Alice’s life force had been almost completely exhausted.
This trip to the underground seemed to have drained away a massive amount of Alice’s life force, leaving all of her bodily functions on the verge of complete collapse. Judging from the current condition of her body, Alice only had approximately two months of life left in her!
Alice’s life force should have been enough to sustain her for another forty years before this.
…………
It was already night by the time Alice woke up once again.
The flying ship was slowly cruising above the clouds. One could see the fragments of shredded clouds passing by the vessel through the cabin windows.
No lights had been lit in the cabin.
Only flickering moonlight shone through the window, faintly illuminating the tall and muscular figure by the bed.
Greem’s chiseled facial features were extremely defined, causing deep shadows to fall upon his face when the dim light shone across it. The first thing that Alice saw when she opened her eyes was the pair of glowing eyes hidden in the shadows.
“You lost forty years of life!” Greem sighed helplessly.
Alice’s pale face was still leaning against the pillow, paler and whiter than the white cloth itself!
“Don’t worry about me!” Alice put on a forced smile. Her originally silky-smooth hair was already completely white, “At least I can still live for a period of time. This amount of time should be enough for us to do something!”
“Two months!” Greem replied, pausing and grating each individual word as if he was biting metal itself.
“Two months time is already plenty. Do you have no faith in me?”
Greem hesitated for a moment and finally asked questioningly.
“What exactly did you go through after we were caught in the underground world?”
Alice sat up and leaned against her pillow, before softly narrating everything that had happened in the magical hall.
“Then…then what exactly was it that that mysterious powerhouse made you divine for them?” Greem couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity.
Alice pointed at her forehead lightly and shook her head with a bitter smile, “That person wiped away parts of my memory using magic after the divination succeeded. That is why even I can’t remember what exactly it was that I divined.”
“That damned fellow, to even touch your memories. If that person has so much power, why doesn’t he just learn divination himself? Why would he rely on a small witch like yourself?” Greem grumbled resentfully.
Alice simply smiled.
“Perhaps this has to do with his origin attribute! The powers of Fate have always shunned dark energies. That’s why, if his true form is that of a high-grade undead, then his luck will always be locked in the negatives. Any divination spells will forever have nothing to do with him.”
“Cough. I know about that as well. Still, I’m upset that you lost so much of your life force for nothing. Such a great loss…”
“We didn’t really lose out!” Alice let out a clear laugh, “Don’t you forget, that mysterious person agreed to one ‘tiny’ request of mine!”
“Oh? What did you request?”
“I asked him to send troops to harass the forest elves just a little bit.”
Greem was speechless upon hearing this.
After his trip to the underground world, he knew very well the terror of those undead.
If tens of thousands of undead were to surge to the surface, it would be a calamity for the forest elves that exceeded even that of the Calamity of Witches!
…………
The Death Scar.
The elves stationed around the Death Scar were still sending troops down to search for the location of Lord Antoril.
Just as they were busy with their search, strange mists started to rise from the depths of the underground, engulfing the Death Scar and the surrounding forest.
There were hoarse howling and the noisy sounds of shifting feet in the mists.
A fetid odor of rot filled the air as the night winds blew across the land.
Hordes of zombies and skeletons climbed out of the depths of the underground, shambling toward the nearest elven fortifications. Behind them, a massive horde of white ghouls dug tunnels and swarmed toward the closest elven city under the orders of intermediate-grade undead.
Bodaks, Ironhide zombies, wraiths, skeleton mages, and liches could be seen amongst their ranks.
Without exception, all of them had been given a single order by their master– to slaughter every last elf!
Their eyes gleamed blood red as they set off on their journey.
