One hundred and ten thousand magical crystals!
This regional battle for territory had exhausted one hundred and ten thousand magical crystals.
And this was already the optimal outcome that Greem had achieved by taking advantage of the geography and the sea of lava. If he hadn’t had this trick in reserve, Greem would have had to lead his men in a desperate fight against tens of thousands of beasts.
Their defeat would have been set in stone!
He did a little calculation himself. One hundred and ten thousand of the one hundred and twenty thousand magical crystals Alice had sent him had been exhausted. The remaining ten thousand were just enough to patch up the tower. That was a clear demonstration of Alice’s powers as the Witch of Fate. The extent of her help was just sufficient enough; not too much, not too little.
The situation in the energy room came as a shock to Greem as well. The activation of the defense system and the offensive array had depleted the small reserve of energy in the elementium pool. However, the existence of the sea of lava had filled up the lower levels of the elementium pool. It was now pure fire energy that sustained the functions of the tower.
Greem eyes sharpened, and a crimson light glowed in the depths of his black eyes.
“I forgot… I really did just forget earlier,” The three-headed demon hound was terrified out of its wits. It had no choice but to grimace and force out the soul projections of the other two heads, “Master, I won’t dare to do it again!”
Greem blew out. The manipulation shook within the hot air current and split into three. They whizzed through the air and quickly sank into Unguja’s three soul projections.
The sudden change to his soul and the terrifying heat Greem had intentionally attached to the rune caused intense pain to Unguja. His whole body crouched against the ground. Hundreds of wounds and scars cracked and split apart as he coped from the pain in his soul. Purple and black blood flowed all over its body. It wasn’t a pretty sight to see.
“Very well, you can treat it now!”
Greem closed his eyes and confirmed that the manipulation runes had safely merged with the demon hound’s soul. He then waved his arm and dispersed the binding array to allow Gargamel to treat the demon hound.
Simple external wounds would not kill Unguja; however, they would have to extract the horrifying fire poison deep within his body as soon as possible. Otherwise, it might affect Ungaja’s spirit origin.
“What about the two of you?” Greem turned his eyes towards the bird demon and the snake fiend.
These two spineless creatures naturally chose to surrender, just like Unguja.
They were also released after Greem carefully planted a manipulation rune within them.
Having dealt with the three cowards, Greem moved on to the last silver halo. The large and mighty Giant Berserk Gelada was confined within. However, its spirit seemed to have withered.
“Are you willing to surrender?”
Greem had just spoken when the gelada opened its mouth and roared as it punched at the transparent halo of light. Apart from some muffled banging, the silver circle of light didn’t even tremble. Electricity suddenly flashed within the array.
Electricity flickered across the gelada’s body amidst the sound of crackling and sizzling. Its massive body started trembling uncontrollably.
However, even in its disabled state, the gelada bared its fangs and roared at Greem.
“It seems it’s a tough nut to crack!” Greem shook his head in pity. He turned and ordered Meryl, “No need to break in a fellow like this. Invite Adept Keoghan from the headquarters and have him wipe away the gelada’s spirit and turn it into a voodoo beast!”
“Yes, teacher!” Meryl nodded.
“You shouted for me to come over earlier and said there were other spoils. What is it?” Greem turned to look at Gargamel.
Gargamel, who had been rubbing his hands together all this while, couldn’t help but betray a look full of greed, “Master, all these fellows have their own dens!”
“Oh, so you mean…?”
“Of course we will want to take a visit to the dens of the three-headed demon hound and the other two. More importantly, they know the exact locations of the other survivors’ dens! Master, you should know that all those creatures were alone when they escaped.” Gargamel couldn’t hide the greedy glint in his eyes when he spoke. He licked his lips and waited for a reply.
Greem’s eyes brightened when he heard this.
