Chapter 360
Chapter 360 Lies and Deceptions
The Witches of Deceit started to become restless when they saw the young adept standing beneath them.
“Rena, let’s capture this guy!”
“Yeah! Such an arrogant man! To think that he still dares to show his face!”
Everyone thought that Witch Rena would agree for her daughter’s sake. Who knew? Instead, Rena betrayed a solemn expression as she silently shook her head.
She sent mental messages to her companions in private.
“There’s no need to rush. We’re at the Tower of Fate. Act without thinking, and we might go against the rules of this place. Moreover, if we were to assume the worst, and Alice succeeds the throne of the Witch of Fate, she will have become an individual on the same level as our leaders. If we caught him now and Alice asked us to release him later, do we release him or not?”
The other Witches of Deceit fell silent.
Apprentice dormitory!
Alice identified the purpose of this room with a single look.
Most adept towers would keep apprentice dormitories at the lowest level. Judging from this, Alice was likely at the very bottom of the Tower. It would be a long journey before she could reach the core of the Tower!
Frantic and chaotic footsteps sounded from the left side of the corridor, right when Alice exited the stone room.
The next second, a young witch with a sweet appearance charged out of the corner and sprinted towards Alice.
A wolf-shaped voodoo beast kicked against the stone walls and leaped towards her.
A candidate and a tower guard?
Perhaps Alice’s existence had surprised the young witch. The witch couldn’t help but stop her running feet and tripped as a result. She rolled across the ground. The wolf voodoo beast also leaped down from the stone walls and slowly closed in on the two of them with its steady footsteps. Its salivating and fanged mouth was opened wide. The wolf’s resonating growl was its way of intimidating prey.
“Save me, please. I don’t want to die…” Pincered between the wolf and Alice, the young witch shivered in fright as she pleaded, “As long as you save me, I will listen to everything you say afterward. You can even plant seals and restrictions in my body.”
A sweet smile appeared on Alice’s face when she saw the frantically begging young witch and approaching beast.
“You are so cute, sister! Who would ever be willing to kill you? Hide behind me; I’ll deal with this voodoo beast!”
An expression of utmost gratitude and relief appeared on the witch’s face when she heard Alice’s words. She couldn’t even stand up. Instead, she immediately crawled towards Alice as fast as she could.
A flash of evil intent appeared on her lowered face as she closed in on Alice.
Five steps.
Four steps.
Three steps.
Almost there. Just a bit more and I can kill this naive little girl.
The young witch slowly edged close to Alice’s side with feelings of nervousness. She reached for the poisoned dagger within her robe when she bowed to thank Alice.
Sadly, the roiling flames that suddenly ignited on her body caused her smile to freeze on her face.
The flame giant standing behind Alice extended its massive hand and shot out a stream of burning fire, which instantly engulfed the witch in a sea of flame.
The temperature of the fierce flames reached two thousand degrees. It dealt up to seventy points of damage.
Such an attack was lethal to a witch that had yet to erect a defensive barrier!
Every article of clothing on the young witch had ignited. If it hadn’t been for a few stress-activated magical items on her body, she would have died already. She endured the pain from all over her body and waved her poisoned dagger wildly in her moment of blindness. Of course, she didn’t hit anyone.
A Halo of Repulsion appeared, and her burning body stumbled away from Alice. The witch eventually fell before the wolf.
Oddly enough, the wolf voodoo beast didn’t attack her. Instead, it leaped in front of her and fired a black ball of light at the Tyrant.
Frantic chanting rang out in the corridor, and gray mist spread out from within the witch’s body, which successfully extinguished the flames.
The witch, already burned black by the flames, endured the intense pain and stood up by grabbing onto the wall. She hissed, “You evil brat! Did you see through my deception or had you been planning to kill me all along? Was there anything that gave away my performance earlier?”
Alice snorted in disdain while hiding behind the Tyrant. She snapped her fingers, and two great Magma Fireballs hurtled in the witch’s direction.
There was no room for the witch and her voodoo beast to dodge in this narrow corridor. The Magma Fireballs took up more than two-thirds of the space of the hallway.
Boom.
Two burnt corpses remained in the corridor after the gigantic explosion. Half of the hall had also collapsed under the massive impact of the fireballs.
From under the protection of the Tyrant, Alice split apart the sea of fire. She appeared at the charred corpse of the witch and coldly commented, “Your performance was impressive. I didn’t see any flaw in it. That said, your voodoo beast is a poor actor. I have the Orb of Deception on me. If it truly were a guard of the tower, it would have ignored me and attacked the Infernal Tyrant instead. So your death was not without reason!”
Having said that, Alice brought the Infernal Tyrant along with her and left this place without ever looking back.
