Chapter 366
Chapter 366 Enemy Assault
Today was most likely Alice’s lucky day.
If those four shadesteel statues had picked her as the first target, she would have been a cold and unmoving corpse right now.
No. Alice’s soul and body would likely have been transformed into an undead creature from the intense negative energy shockwaves from the statues’ attacks. For her, this was an outcome even more horrifying than death!
Luckily, they had chosen to attack Sofia first!
Perhaps it was because she was too far ahead, or maybe it was because her large size was too eye-catching. No matter the reason, when the four shadesteel statues emerged from the shadows, all eight of their sharp claws slashed towards Sofia.
The Berserk Witch’s response was immediate.
She had instantly picked up on the irregularity around her, even without the others’ warnings.
It was only when the army stepped into range of the Infernal Tyrant’s light that the witches saw their actual faces.
Terrible! Incredibly terrible!
The twenty-seven armored guards were Animated Armors. One could see the shroud of black smoke within their bodies through the gaps in their rusty armor. These armored guards had already eroded over a thousand years. A trail of rusted metal parts followed behind them, falling off every so often as they dragged their stiff metallic bodies toward the enemy.
A lot of the armored guards had severely corroded knee guards and legs. The lower half of their bodies couldn’t even support the weight of armor anymore. Their legs crumbled into pieces and left the upper half of their body crawling on the ground.
Guards like these were so weak that not even a powerful warrior was needed to defeat them. The frail Amanda could probably smash them to pieces with the Bull’s Strength she had applied to herself!
It was the same for the other voodoo beasts.
The voodoo beasts with any sort of life were all dead. The only ones left were the undead beasts.
Bodaks, banshees, wraiths, mummies…
These voodoo beasts were bound to the Tower by their contracts. Yet, none of them had been nourished with soul or flesh in a thousand years. They were all thirsty and hungry for food. They immediately flew into a riot when they sensed the aura of life in this place. They had ignored the order given by the mysterious girl and left the army’s formation. They surged forward and lunged at the witches.
There were five Mummy Elders and three Revenant Banshees in the group. All of them had once been Third Grade undead creatures. However, the extended period of soul deterioration had caused their abilities to fall to the elementary stage of Second Grade. They could scarcely be considered as weakened Second Grade creatures.
Still, their sudden assault put tremendous pressure on the group of witches.
Alice controlled the spider golem and used its four pairs of sharp limbs to leap over the witches. The golem appeared beside Sofia at the front of the formation.
The key to surviving this wave of enemies was whether they could endure their violent blows!
Putting aside the slow and immobile armored guards, mummies, and bodaks, the first to reach them were the spirit undead.
The three revenant banshees led the charge. They let out wailing screams as they lunged towards the center of the group.
The screams of the revenant banshees had the terrifying ability to tear apart the souls of living creatures. Individuals without soul protection weren’t able to do anything against their attacks. Physical defenses and energy barriers counted for nothing. The screams of the banshees were considered soul-attribute magic. They could ignore all defenses that were not of the soul-attribute!
The means by which revenant banshees killed was not through direct attacks, but by uttering their desolate wails right their enemy’s ears! All souls were as fragile as glass before this unbelievably ear-piercing screech. People would shatter into pieces!
If a soul was tough enough, it might be able to endure the damage. However, the constant tearing from the howls and screeches would cause tremendous impact to the soul. A person would lose all ability to resist and could only watch as the banshees turned into shadows and dived into their body.
Indeed. The other innate ability that the banshees held was Possession!
They could temporarily take control of a body and achieve the effect of ‘betrayal.’
During that time frame, while the banshee possessed a body, it would become a ‘traitor’ in the group.
