Chapter 378 The Two Revived
Even though it had almost been a whole day after the battle, the scars left behind were still visible.
No corpses or blood stains remained, but there were shattered and severed vines all over the place. The remaining bloodsucking vines and magical thorns crawled away from the adepts when they sensed the magical aura around the adept’s bodies.
The apprentices’ skirmish had been the first battleground of the Battle of Fate.
You could see the marks left behind on the walls and floor by all the various spells when you walked through the halls, libraries, arcane halls, rooms, and corridors. Not a single door stood untouched. Not one location had been left unexplored by the candidates.
Along the way, the adepts also saw the fragmented remains of armored guards. They had been disassembled, reduced to pieces, and were scattered all over the floor like trash. The surface of these living armors had lost all their shine. Even their exposed joints looked to be rusted and corroded.
The lack of maintenance and upkeep had significantly impacted their combat ability. It was no wonder the guards had been so quickly put down by a group of apprentice witches.
They walked through dark corridors and passed by several ruined battlefields. After a long walk, they finally left the apprentice living area and arrived at the upper floors of the adept’s tower.
Alice walked forward and used her sharp nails to cut their skin. She started carving the mark of fate upon their foreheads. It was a symbol of two snakes biting each other’s tails. The brand started glowing once she finished drawing the totem. The light disappeared in the blink of an eye. The two girl’s foreheads became as smooth as they were before they had been cut. Not a trace of the brand could be seen.
“From now on, the two of them will be the deputy leaders of our Witches of Fate. Do you find this a suitable arrangement?” Alice asked the two witches in a gentle voice.
Hela and Rena bitterly smiled when they heard this.
Even though this outcome didn’t match their original expectations for the Battle of Fate, it was still a happy ending when compared to the worst possible outcome. Supporting Sofia had mostly been Hela’s personal decision. Most of the other Death Witches had been standing on Alice’s side before the Battle.
What else could she ask for with a result like this?
Snowlotus and Sofia’s bodies abruptly started moving while everyone was still deep in thought.
Snowlotus’ long eyelashes fluttered, and a soft groan escaped her mouth. The rough and uncouth Sofia had already sat up. She looked around her surroundings in wide-eyed confusion. Her eyes slowly started to focus as she examined everything around her.
“Sofia, it’s me!” Witch Hela stepped forward, removed her hood and revealing her face to Sofia.
Greem instantly felt a shiver run down his spine.
What a hideous face!
If one ignored the numerous stitches that ran across her face like centipede legs, and the face that had split into four or five pieces, she could still be considered pretty. However, the numerous cuts and stitches on her small face had utterly wrecked any beauty she had. Ignoring the wounds scarring her face was impossible!
For the first time in his life, Greem hated his excessively powerful vision.
The chip’s atomic-level visual capturing abilities had perfectly projected the face in his mind. It had magnified every detail of Hela’s hideous face. Greem could even see wriggling maggots and strange creatures moving under her face through the cracks of the stitches.
If Greem hadn’t suppressed the turmoil in his stomach with his powerful Spirit, he would probably have embarrassed himself by throwing up on the spot!
“Aunt Hela, you? Didn’t I die?” Sofia leaped off of the stone platform. Her substantial body caused the ground to tremor and rumble when she landed.
The Physiques of berserk witches were unbelievably strong. They could compare to body-refining adepts. She was able to move about freely so soon after her soul had re-entered her body.
Still, her uncouth and unrefined behavior was intolerable. She just stood there with her legs wide apart. She didn’t seem to care about her nudity with a male adept standing right before her.
At this moment, Snowlotus also sat up on the stone platform. She scanned her surroundings in confusion.
“Where is this? Didn’t I… die?”
