Chapter 375
Chapter 375 The Victor
How could the mysterious girl ever give them a second chance after what had just happened?
The girl had constantly limited her use of the powers of Fate. That was because all of that energy was the nutrition she needed for her future rise to dominance!
If everything had gone as planned and she had been able to exterminate all the candidates without a problem, the reserves of power would have been enough to help her break through the threshold of Fourth Grade. However, if she used too much of the power now, she might miss the chance of entering Fourth Grade by just a little bit. Falling short would be a massive blow to her.
The difference between a Third Grade and Fourth Grade in the World of Adepts was like a vast chasm! As far apart as the earth and the sky!
If this happened to her, she would be distraught.
These three cockroaches had managed to force her to draw upon the powers of Fate to defend herself. Her heart bled, even as she overwhelmed them with her abilities.
However, as upset as she was, she didn’t want to taste that humiliation of being beaten up without being able to retaliate!
The peaceful and silent Tower of Fate had abruptly started quaking. Two massive cracks that went all the way along the walls of the Tower had appeared. Savage fire elementium leaked out from within. Even the skies were burning red from the flames.
The Infernal Tyrant!
Greem gasped.
The others might not have known what had happened in the Tower, but Greem knew very well what was going on.
The Infernal Tyrant had self-destructed!
Some extraordinary trouble must have cropped up in the Tower of Fate. Otherwise, Alice would never have chosen to have the Tyrant destroy itself. Greem couldn’t even care for the loss of his most powerful golem. A feeling of endless concern and worry arose in his heart.
The situation must have gone out of control!
…………
Within the arcane hall.
The messy battlefield had now been reduced to a field of blazing flames.
Any substance without magical protection had been incinerated and transformed into viscous lava. There were only a few piles of rocks that remained untouched. Alice and Snowlotus barely found a place of shelter upon one such group of stones. They were still enduring the heat and the streams of fire with all they had.
If it weren’t for the remnants of the ice block keeping them cool, they would have died from just the heat in the air.
They looked around for any signs of the mysterious girl. Just then, the lava in front of them split apart, and an utterly charred figure walked towards them with determined steps.
Dammit! I knew this wouldn’t be enough!
Fueled by her hatred and anger, Snowlotus forced herself to get up. She still wanted to resist. However, with the single word ‘Death’ from the opponent’s mouth, she collapsed to the ground and slipped into the pool of magma.
Alice straightened her body amidst the strange sounds of sizzling meat and the pungent smell of burning flesh. A charred hand grabbed her throat right as she stood up.
Alice’s body was tiny. The girl picked Alice up and suspended her in the air. Her hands and feet flailed in an attempt to free herself from the enemy’s grasp.
“Well done… very well done. All that’s left is the two of us,” A scalding breath of air came out of the charred girl’s mouth, “I won’t let you die. I will burn your body and preserve your soul. I will turn you into a doll of fate and make you suffer endless lifetimes of cruel torture. I won’t let you die just like this.”
Alice could only let out gasps and chokes with her throat being gripped by the enemy.
“What is it? Is there something you want to say before you part with this body of yours?” The mysterious girl was enraged. She might die of the bottled-up rage if she wasn’t able to take out her resentment and hatred on her enemy.
The girl loosened her grip to listen to Alice’s final cries before her death.
Alice swiftly grabbed the girl’s wrists. A smile flashed on her face of utter fear and despair.
“Thanks for letting me touch your body. Goodbye!”
A mysterious surge of spatial energy coursed through the defenseless Alice. It instantly enveloped the mysterious girl before she could do anything.
She still had the power to resist?
The mysterious girl, disfigured from the explosion, was startled. The remaining powers of Fate in her body rapidly turned into an impenetrable defense. The girl was relieved when the defensive barrier finally formed.
This barrier hadn’t collapsed, even when all three of them had attacked her. How could this little brat harm her through the protection of this barrier?
Even before she could finish the thought, her vision blurred. Everything before her eyes changed.
The skies that had been burnt bright red, the endless stretch of desolate land, the tall Tower of Fate behind her, and the Northern Witches looking curiously at her…
Dammit, this was outside the Tower!
The mysterious girl let out an ear-piercing screech when she understood what had happened. She immediately turned and lurched towards the Tower.
But it was too late.
A vast and omnipotent will filled with a sense of antiquity locked onto her position. The next moment, all the powers of Fate in her body converted into a frightening flame that engulfed her body.
The gentle power of Fate that had been her servant and soldier was now the cause of her death. It rapidly turned into the most unforgiving bandit in the world, burning every piece of flesh on her body. She broke down into a cluster of pure energy essence while consumed with fear and regret. The energy then slowly floated back into the Tower of Fate.
Greem and the other witches looked at each other, confused. None of them understood what had just happened.
The Witch of Fate selection this time was weird!
