Chapter 363 The Situation Changes
A brutal fight had started out of nowhere.
Two pretty witches that had just been exchanging friendly words had struck each other with everything they had at the moment of contact.
If the Polymorph had managed to affect Snowlotus, she would have died in the Tyrant’s follow-up attack. However, her Substitution Doll had absorbed the transfiguration effect. Snowlotus, the Dancer of Ice and Frost, was able to act and defend against the Flame Pillar.
Crack, crack, crack.
Snowlotus barely avoided being consumed by the flames after many of her ice shields shattered. When she finally escaped from the Flame Pillar, still shrouded in smoke, she crashed right into Alice, who had just broken free of the ice.
One had been charred black, with burn marks all over her body. The other had light blue frost all over her shirt and her eyebrows as she coughed out black blood from her tiny mouth.
Both of the wicked witches had been severely wounded in their instant of inattention.
Everyone that had been teleported felt their vision go black.
However, they quickly regained sight before they could panic.
The silence in the air broke. A tide of clamoring noise came from all around the group.
That was the sound of cheering, loud as crashing waves. The noise ferociously dug into their ears. When everyone finally got used to the blinding light and the deafening cheers, they lifted their heads and saw where they were.
It was a large plaza!
No, more accurately, this was a filled arena. And the candidates were like pigs and lambs to be slaughtered for the entertainment of the audience.
The light from above was far too intense. The glare made it impossible for them to see the faces of the audience. Still, all the candidates already knew that those weren’t actual people, but images projected through the use of magic!
Although no one knew what was going to happen next, the intense feeling of danger in their hearts sent a clear signal to them: death was inevitable if they stayed here!
“I am not going to wait around in this place!” A witch took out a flying broom from her storage tool and took to the skies as she shouted.
Not all adepts knew flying or teleportation spells. If there was no such spell in their innate elementium talent, flying brooms and magic carpets were the next best alternative.
The other witches also had similar tricks up their sleeves. However, most of them were extremely cautious. Now that someone was testing the waters, the witches suppressed their desire to escape and watched the reckless witch that flew further and further into the sky.
There was no chance the enemy would let them escape so easily after transporting them here.
Everyone was smart enough to know this. However, only a few were able to bear the intense pressure and act according to logic in this moment of danger! Most witches would act like this witch, controlled by their fear and moving without hesitation.
As expected, a blinding electrical blast came from the skies under everyone’s watchful gaze. The witch fell like a stone, smashing a tiny crater into the ground.
Her body had been thoroughly charred black. Even her robe had shredded into ribbons under the force of the electric currents.
“Let’s drag her back and treat her! We might need her help later.” A witch with a sinister appearance gave out an order like that.
Most of the people gathered here were apprentices. Two of them immediately went out and grabbed the witch. They then had her drink potions and healed her with plant-attribute healing spells. In the end, they managed to save the witch.
As the apprentices were busy doing this, the eleven other witches had gathered together and silently looked at the stands. They were not sure, but they all had a feeling. The wicked person behind all this was hiding within these projections, quietly enjoying everyone’s struggle and agony.
“I have tried. We can’t teleport out of here.” A witch said resentfully.
“We can’t leave through the ground either!” Another witch added.
“It seems the only way out is through force,” The witch with the sinister appearance grit her teeth and spoke, “But before we act, all of us here must swear with the cruelest of curses! We are not to fight among ourselves until we get out of this goddamned place!”
“Naturally!”
“I agree!”
“Agreed!”
The gates of the arena in the distance suddenly opened as they discussed the issue at hand.
Metallic clanging rang out throughout the field, and row after row of metal animated statues marched out of the gates with uniform steps. They pressed on like a wall composed of metal.
Ten steel statues stood in a row. There were ten rows in total. That meant that their enemies were a total of a hundred steel statues.
All of the witches and apprentices paled with fear!
