Chapter 374
Chapter 374 Everyone Has Their Own Way
Sofia was dead!
Following after Snowlotus, the ferocious and wild Sofia had died.
Only Alice and the mysterious girl were left in the hall now.
It was when the mysterious girl slowly turned towards her that Alice was able to see her distorted and caved-in skull, as well as that bloody and ruined face. Her face looked like a stampede of elephants had brutally ravaged it. A very angry and violent herd of elephants.
Her nose had been completely shattered, and her mouth was badly swollen. Most of her teeth had also fallen out of her mouth. Her eye socket had fractured, with purple-black blood covering her left eye. Hatred and viciousness gleamed in the right eye that remained.
As the spiritual projection of the previous Witch of Fate, her actions had brought shame upon all high-grade witches. She had a thousand years more experience than the other competitors, and part of the control authority of the Tower. However, she had been beaten up by a low-grade witch with one of the crudest methods possible.
Just the thought of this drove her recently awakened consciousness mad!
Every detail in her vision had lost their outlines. Instead, they appeared as spots of color with lines of magic in the air. A new sense had replaced her original sight. Everything appeared in a whole new manner before the girl.
Through her Eye of Deception, she could see that Snowlotus’ broken body had lost all aura of life. However, a strange tiny person that looked just like her had been sealed into a crystal necklace on her neck.
The tiny person sat within the crystal. Vast swathes of white mist gathered around her. It was this mist that blocked the effects of ordinary detection and sensing spells and allowed Snowlotus to remain concealed.
At this moment, the mysterious girl’s eyes passed through the white mist and the crystal wall, clashing with the eyes of the little Snowlotus. The little Snowlotus’ face went white in an instant!
Crack.
The crystal exploded, and the dense white mist engulfed Snowlotus’ body.
A short moment later, the perfectly safe Snowlotus, protected by layers of spells, walked out of the mist. A grave expression appeared on her snow-white face. She clearly resented and despaired at the opponent seeing through her tricks.
“As expected of worms! All you use are despicable and underhanded tricks!” A cold ‘smile’ appeared on the girl’s face, “The two of you bastards! Are you waiting for me to drag you out of hiding!”
The mysterious girl’s gaze fell upon Sofia’s broken body. More specifically, she looked towards the right pinky finger. The ferocious punching Sofia had launched at the barrier had caused the bone of her fingers to be exposed. A strange jade green pattern was visible on the bone of her pinky finger.
Life Concealment!
That was a unique technique exclusive to the Death Witches!
Life Concealment. A technique that allowed the user to transfer, isolate, and conceal part of their life force in a portion of their bodies. When their original self received a fatal blow, they could use the hidden life force to revive.
However, Sofia’s Life Concealment was inferior to Snowlotus’ magical tool. When Sofia allowed the life force to flow back to her broken body, she still had to put up with her damage and wounds.
Everyone’s gaze then fell upon Alice’s frail and petite body.
A sigh rang out in the room, and the dagger in Alice’s heart mysteriously started to remove itself from her chest. Alice then spat out the slice of fruit that she had been hiding in her mouth.
The Golden Apple!
Everyone nodded. They finally understood how Alice had faked her death!
The Golden Apple was an item used in a revival ceremony. Furthermore, if the user bit off a piece from the Golden Apple before their death and held it in their mouth, they would not die, regardless of any grievous wounds they received afterward. Of course, this was limited to any attacks that didn’t destroy her body.
“Good… very good.” The mysterious girl looked around the room and fumed as the three candidates who should have died at her hands slowly stood up. A feeling of anger at having been cheated rose in her, “Since all of you want to die another time, I’ll fulfill your wish!”
A large cluster of light surged out of the array and entered her damaged body.
“Recuperate!”
With a single word, a strange spatial flux enveloped the girl’s body. All her wounds had vanished when the spatial flux finally disappeared.
A fully regenerated enemy stood before Alice and the other two witches!
The three witches frowned when they saw this. A trace of despair appeared on their faces.
Compared to the large cluster of light in the array, the girl had only drawn upon one or two-tenths of its power. Yet, this amount of energy was more than enough for her to crush the three of them.
An enemy like this, a battle like this, was there any meaning to the bloody fight they were putting up?
There was no answer, and there was no need for one!
At this moment, the first to step forward was still Sofia.
“I don’t care whether you guys still have any trump cards in reserve, but I’ll be fighting to my death!” Sofia’s body was also rapidly regenerating. However, her regenerative powers were trivial when compared to the large gashes on her body, “We Berserk Witches never wait for our deaths!”
Sofia then dragged her broken body along and stormed towards the mysterious girl.
Alice and Snowlotus exchanged looks. A frightening determination rose in their hearts. They too followed behind Sofia and launched their final wave of attacks at the mysterious girl.
Sadly, the girl’s overwhelming power devoured every trick they had.
The girl spat out a single word, ‘Impenetrable,’ and an indestructible barrier formed in front of the three of them. It didn’t matter how much they blasted it with spells or bashed it with their fists; the wall didn’t budge an inch.
Rot! Enhanced Pain! Decrepify!
Snowlotus was the first to fall victim to the girl’s prophecies.
Her face seemed to have experienced hundreds of years in an instant. The girl of ice and snow with smooth, snow-white skin had turned into an old hag with a wrinkled face and spotted skin. Moreover, there weren’t screams of agony that came out of her mouth when she rolled around the ground in pain. The only thing that came out of her mouth was a black cloud of dust.
Snowlotus’ organs had rotted!
