Chapter 531
Chapter 531 Damned Witch
Giant Brain Gazlowe still underestimated Alice.
In all seriousness, the most powerful individual of Greem’s faction wasn’t Second Grade Greem. It was Alice, who only had the strength of a newly-advanced First Grade.
It was something that outsiders were unlikely to understand. Even within Greem’s faction, the only ones that understood this was Greem, Alice, and Mary.
The terror of the Witch of Fate’s innate abilities was something that could not be comprehended by someone who had not experienced it. They weren’t weak because the planar laws had robbed them of their ability to fight. Quite the contrary, it was because of how terrifying their innate ability was that the will of the world would not allow them to possess combat ability on top of their talent for Fate.
A profession that even the will of the world felt a need to place limitations on; did that still not make it terrifying enough?
The Goblin Plane had no similar profession, nor was the information that Gazlowe got from Sabrina’s memory sufficiently comprehensive. As a result, he used the same methods as he would use against an ordinary enemy to deal with Alice.
Alice casually avoided all of the enemy’s attacks with her rapid flashes of teleportation. Alice could only sigh and start working her magic when she saw the enemy wouldn’t play along.
Gazlowe was choking in anger, but there was nothing he could do. He desperately wanted to curse at this witch with the most toxic and wicked swear words of the Goblin Plane. More than that, he desired to blast her into pieces with the mental spells in his ‘hands.’ However, he had no choice but to slowly and carefully disperse the massive power he had gathered before mentally communicating with the witch with his calmest, most gentle tone.
No one knew how or what the two were negotiating, but even an outsider could tell that the discussion was going well. Sadly, there wasn’t a single goblin left in this room who could see this happening.
The brain and the witch seemed to be having an amicable discussion, but there was great danger lurking beneath.
She might have used this method to force Gazlowe to bow before her, but the giant brain still had immense power that distressed her. If Alice showed a single flaw, there was no doubt that Gazlowe would take full advantage of the opportunity. He would kill her in the shortest time possible, even if he had to pay a hefty price for it.
That was why Alice’s heartstrings were still suspended tightly, even after countless affirmations and promises on Gazlowe’s part. In fact, her guard against the giant brain had only grown even stricter.
As their battle took a temporary pause, the struggle in the ritual hall had also come to a conclusion.
Sabrina had died in front of Greem, the remaining flesh of her body burnt to ashes. Only some alchemical parts remained on the ground. The Second Grade magical machine that Tigule piloted had also been slagged into metal putty. A giant hole had been burned through the metal plate that protected the mechanic. Tigule lied upon the ground, charred black and unconscious.
The other goblins had also turned into minced bits and metal components.
On the other hand, even as a Second Grade adept, there was no way Greem could have come out unscathed in a battle against a fearless army of goblins. Not to mention the fact that a Second Grade magical machine and a powerful mechanical adept like Sabrina were mixed with the army.
As such, Greem had also sustained fairly heavy wounds!
