Chapter 361
Chapter 361 To Each Their Own
The path in front of her spread out in every direction like a spider’s web. There were turns at every corner, and many rooms could be seen on both sides of the stone wall.
If this had been an ordinary adventure, Alice wouldn’t have minded taking her time to advance towards the core of the Tower cautiously. However, today was different. A strange and mysterious mist obscured everything.
Alice didn’t even know the name of the witch she had just killed. She felt like she had absorbed some sort of unique energy substance from the witch when she died. Even Alice’s mind had seemed to be sharper and quicker than before.
Deep in her heart, Alice had a feeling that this was a slaughter contest. Whoever killed the most weaklings and absorbed the most of this unknown substance would have the advantage when everyone met in the core of the Tower.
This feeling only existed as a vague sense of intuition for most of the witches!
However, for Alice, this feeling felt like a directive from fate itself.
Alice immediately ordered the Infernal Tyrant to plow forward, unlike her usual cautious attitude. In fact, she specifically commanded the Tyrant to create as large of a commotion as possible as they knocked down the walls and facilities around them.
Snowlotus finally had a chance to examine her surroundings once she had treated the worst of the wounds on her body and drank another vial of healing potion to allow her flesh to regenerate.
Three witches were frozen various in poses in thick blocks of ice. Thet bared their teeth in hatred, and their expressions were also frozen for all to see.
It was clear that these frozen witches were dead!
Fifteen minutes earlier, Snowlotus had been lured to this hall by a witch she ‘accidentally’ ran into. Two other witches who had been in hiding had then ambushed her. Snowlotus fought one against three, with the element of surprise against her. Despite sustaining wounds from the initial trap, Snowlotus still managed to turn the tides and kill the three enemies.
She could feel the powers of Fate flowing into her body. Finally, she sensed that the laws of fate that had distanced themselves from her were finally offering their embrace to her once again.
It seemed that the rumor that killing other candidates would gather the favor of Fate was true. Mm. There was no time to wait. She had to act as swiftly as possible. The weak targets were going to be easily taken down by the other competitors.
Having treated her wounds and scoured the battlefield, Snowlotus pushed apart the wooden door at the side of the hall and silently returned to the intricate corridors of the Tower.
…………
In another area at the bottom of the Tower.
Berserk Witch Sofia was also fighting a fierce battle.
However, only a few people would recognize her with her current appearance.
Sofia was considered tall among witches with her original appearance. Her two-meter tall body was even slightly taller than Greem’s. When paired with her humongous muscles and thick limbs, it was often hard to believe that she was a female if it hadn’t been for the two mounds of flesh hanging from her chest.
However, right now, Sofia’s muscles were quickly increasing in size as the berserker powers surged through her body. Soon, she had turned into a four-meter-tall giantess.
The muscles of her face were stretched and distorted. The eyepatch on her left eye had also snapped, revealing her stone eye. Cracking sounds came from within her bones as the Berserk Witch rushed forward. The thick wooden staff in her hand had mysteriously increased in size along with her.
Two witches led a group of apprentice in an attempt to escape from Sofia. Sadly, the giantess was slowly gaining ground with her heavy footsteps that tremored through the floor.
Countless colorful spells rained upon Sofia’s body like a torrent, but she ignored all the apprentice-level attacks; rookies will always remain as rookies. Their spells were not even enough to break through Sofia’s skin after she went berserk.
Only the spells cast by the witches caught Sofia’s attention.
She grabbed objects that littered the corridor and detonated the spells before they reached her, or she merely swatted them out of the sky with her thick wooden staff. The Berserk Witch dodged what she could and deflected the rest. Sofia only chose to cover her face with her arms and endure a spell if she couldn’t avoid or deflect it.
As long as Sofia reached them, all defensive barriers and shields were meaningless before the might of her wooden staff. Her explosive strength paired well with the heavy wooden staff. Even an official witch wasn’t able to take on a blow from Sofia herself.
Anyone hit by the Berserk Witch had only one fate- to be crushed into meat paste.
There was no other conclusion for those poor witches!
The scrambling apprentices finally triggered some magical traps during their frantic retreat. A group of steel guards charged out of hidden spots in the walls with large shields in hand. Their metallic bodies clanged as they joined the ranks of Sofia in slaughtering the witches.
“Dammit! Don’t steal meat from my mouth.”
Sofia flew into a rage when she saw a few apprentices die at the hands of the steel guards.
“This is my feast. How dare you try and steal it from me. Die! All of you!”
Sofia charged forward violently as she swung her staff. She instantly crushed four or five of the guards into broken fragments of metal.
The group of steel guards quickly shifted targets. They gathered together uniformly and charged towards the Berserk Witch with thunderous steps.
The conflicts in the Tower were becoming more and more chaotic!
