Chapter 382 On the Way
Erika was extremely anxious.
The hired carriage slowly made its laborious way through Dragonblight. Accompanying her were six other apprentices and one witch responsible for escorting them. There were about four dozen guards in black armor scattered around the line of a dozen carriages.
These guards had been sent by the clan to escort them to the Tower of Fate.
Erika became even more upset when the thought of leaving her companions behind entered her head. She had to abandon the familiar surroundings of the clan and travel long distances to the Tower of Fate located in this desolate place.
She was born in the small town of Mostow, Moline. It was an area governed by the Dark Witches.
Erika had been discovered to possess talent as a witch and was sent to the tower of the Dark Witches by her family to study magic. She had only barely managed to reach intermediate level after twelve difficult years of study.
At the rate at which she was improving, it was doubtful she would advance to become a witch!
Acid Pool!
Fireball!
Sonic Hunt!
……
Erika stood at the edge of the formation and also fired a spell of her own. Shadow Assassin.
It was a low-grade shadow spell. It summoned a humanoid assassin in the shadows near the enemy that dealt eight shadow damage to all creatures around it. As long as the assassin’s shadow core remained intact, it could continue to damage enemies for as long as three hundred and eighty seconds.
It was the only area-of-effect spell that Erika knew!
In comparison, Freya used Sonic Hunt.
She stuffed a bunch of Screech Herbs in her mouth and cupped her mouth. She then let out a terrifying soundwave.
All the windwolves in a cone before Freya howled in agony and fell to the ground. They had lost all control over their bodies. The guards seized the opportunity to move forward and slay these incapacitated windwolves.
The Dark Witch immediately noticed the three elite windwolves when they came close to the group.
She didn’t do much. The witch extended her hand and made a grabbing motion at the location where the wolves were, and the beasts instantly plunged into a situation of life and death.
Vast swathes of shadow erupted from underneath the three windwolves. The black mist quickly enveloped their bodies and dragged them into the shadows beneath them. It was like a tunnel had opened into the Shadow World. It didn’t matter how much the wolves struggled. They couldn’t break free of the black haze. Bit by bit, they disappeared into the shadow.
The black mist dispersed once the wolves were gone.
Only brown dirt and pebbles remained on the ground.
The three wolves had vanished entirely!
The loss of their leaders quickly threw the wolves into chaos. After suffering the loss of almost one-fourth of their entire pack, the wolves chose to retreat!
Another seven guards had died in this battle, and the rest were also injured.
Fortunately, the apprentices were unharmed. The Dark Witch was relieved at this outcome.
These seven apprentices might not have had much potential and talent, but the clan had still exhausted a lot of their resources to train and raise them. The decision to give them away to the Witches of Fate undoubtedly caused dissatisfaction among the clan witches!
However, the escorting Dark Witch couldn’t help but feel a little glad that the Witches of Fate had to waste their resources on these ‘trash’!
If she were the leader of the Witches of Fate, she would have a significant headache figuring out what to do with these apprentices.
Waste resources on them? But every one of them was an untalented apprentice that wasn’t worth the effort. Even the occasional apprentice with decent potential was likely a spy from another branch.
With no options left to her, what would the Witch of Fate known as Alice do?
