Chapter 369
Chapter 369 The Illusion is Shattered
The flames of battle continued to burn within the Tower.
Meanwhile, outside the Tower, the waiting witches were bored out of their minds!
It had only been four hours since the Tower of Fate’s activation and the closing of its gates. There hadn’t been any commotion since.
That said, the sky wasn’t all that peaceful either.
Every once in a while, a brilliant beam of light cut through the sky and sank into the walls of the Tower.
This phenomenon had caught Greem’s attention as well.
He had performed a few subtle experiments of his own earlier. Neither Spirit nor elementium spells could pass through that mysterious force enveloping the Tower of Fate. Even the Infernal Tyrant that had his soul aura branded in its core had been completely disconnected from him. Contacting Alice was going to be impossible.
Greem had always treated Alice as a friend in all of their previous interactions. Such a relationship might have seemed fake and insincere, but it was a deception that carried with it a trace of honesty and sincerity.
Would Alice become a Second Grade or Third Grade Witch of Fate? The first thing she did when she met him wouldn’t be to turn him into meat paste, would it? How much of his previous emotional investment would remain after she became the Witch of Fate?
All sorts of factors that were out of his control ran through Greem’s mind. The wait became even more arduous and intolerable.
…………
Crash. The spider golem knocked down the walls of the mystical hall and charged into an odd place filled with strange runes.
The sea of radiance suddenly disappeared. All of the runes on the walls, ceilings, and the floorboard exploded, one after another. The destruction finally allowed the witches who were still trapped in that illusory world to break free.
Nearly half of the apprentices, and two of the witches, collapsed to the ground when the illusion vanished. They had lost their lives. The remaining people, on the other hand, started screaming and crying out loud in pain. They frantically threw spells and attacks in every direction. It was apparent that the side-effects from the illusion were not going to be undone so easily.
An ordinary-looking girl knelt beside a young witch. She closed the witch’s mouth and used an extremely plain dagger to slit the throat of the witch slowly.
Oddly enough, the young witch’s body surged with elementium aura while the mysterious girl was utterly harmless. Still, the young witch appeared to have entirely given up on resisting. She just lied there and allowed the girl to kill her.
The other witches had just broken free from the illusion. The impacts and tremors to their Spirits hadn’t calmed down yet. The looked on as this unexpected occurrence happened before them, but they were still confused as to what was happening.
“That’s her! Kill her!” Alice’s sharp voice rang out from within the spider golem.
The next moment, the gigantic machine lunged at the girl in the crowd with unstoppable momentum.
The spider golem raised the front of its body while the compound eyes shot out energy beams of various colors. It stabbed forward at the girl with its massive claws.
Sofia and Snowlotus passed through the hole in the wall at this time. Their eyes also immediately fell upon the mysterious girl.
The girl was an invisible existence to those with less than ten points of the power of fate. Even if their eyes saw her, their minds automatically ignored her due to fate obscuring the fact.
However, for anyone with ten points and above, the girl was like a brilliant moon in the night. They couldn’t ignore her even if they wanted to. The three favored ones completely disregarded everything else once they entered the hall. Their attention was drawn towards the strange and mysterious girl.
“Kill her!” The mysterious girl lifted her head. A brilliant light of intelligence glowed in the depths of her pitch-black eyes. She pointed at the spider golem and shouted, “She’s the one behind the illusion. Let’s work together and kill her first!”
Strangely enough, her voice was dull and emotionless. Even though there were no strange powers in her words, they still managed to affect all the witches around her.
The eight confused witches that had just broken out of the illusion immediately raised their staffs and wands. A torrent of spells blasted towards the spider golem.
