Chapter 348
Chapter 348 Berserker Witch
The water was chilling, and the moonlight was hazy.
The witch’s expression had become more and more solemn.
“What is it that you want?” She finally voiced her doubts, “You can’t actually be childish enough to believe that you can control a little brat, push her up to the throne of Witch of Fate, and gain a powerful servant just like that, could you?”
“And what if that’s what I’m thinking of doing!?”
“Hehehe… ” The witch laughed sinisterly, “Then you should go and take a look at the history of the Witches of Fate! Do you not know? All witches are loyal to only one person. The great Queen Witch! It doesn’t matter if you have her under your thumb with a contract of immense power. The moment she becomes the Witch of Fate, all bindings forcefully attached to her soul will instantly vanish!”
“Then what good advice do you have for me?” Greem lifted his head and looked at the sky, “Speak up. I can’t wait for dinner!”
The witch forcibly suppressed her irritation and covered her body with a thin cloth robe that she had placed on a rock to the side of the pool. She allowed the wet fabric to caress her perfect body. She slowly walked toward Greem, lifted her head, and stared into his black eyes. A beautiful smile once again graced her face.
Fifteen minutes later, Greem stepped foot into the campsite. The first thing that greeted him was a perfectly roasted chicken that gleamed with a golden shine.
“Eat it, quick. I especially left this for you!” Alice licked her lips as if she didn’t mind at all.
Greem put up a slight smile and tore off the juiciest drumstick. He passed it to Alice.
Alice instantly took it and started to ravage the meat with a huge smile on her face. Her mouth was still full of food, but she continued to mumble something like, “Gwess you knwow a lwady’s hweart.”
Of course, many watching eyes saw everything that happened by the fire.
An old witch unhappily grumbled after she let down the curtains, “These are the witches that appeared in recent times? Always relying on male adepts and seducing them! A complete disgrace to us witches!”
The Second Grade Witch Kola rested silently on her couch in the middle of the tent. She spoke coldly, “Laura, there’s no need to get upset. From what I know, this little Alice brat is, in fact, a favored candidate in the Battle of Fate!”
“What? A child like this is favored?! “The three Dark Witches in the tent let out a gasp of surprise in unison.
“I visited Sage Else a while back. She told me that this Alice was amongst the three hopefuls for the winner of the Battle of Fate!”
“Sssss……” The three Dark Witches drew in a cold breath, all at the same time.
No one was foolish enough to doubt Sage Elsa’s words. However, the massive juxtaposition between the prophecy and reality was sufficiently jarring to confuse the witches.
“What powers does she possess? From the looks of it, she must have sacrificed all her powers in exchange for the blessing of fate. But that powerful male adept can’t help her with anything once she’s in the Tower. What will she use to defend against the tower guardians and her competitors?”
“Indeed… does she intend to use her completely harmless divination spells to kill someone?”
“If she enchanted her little platinum hammer with some offensive spells, she might be able to use it to hit someone to death!”
The Dark Witches took turns to make fun of Alice. Clearly, none of them thought well of her odds.
“Oh, that’s right, Lady Kola. Since Sage Elsa named three witches to be favored to win the Battle of Fate and one of them has to be Snowlotus of the Witches of Deceit, who is the remaining one?” One of the witches suddenly thought of this and asked curiously.
“The other one… ” Even the Second Grade Kola betrayed an expression of frustration when it came to this, “That girl is even worse than Alice. She…she… “
“What about her.” The other two witches asked together.
“She advanced to a berserker witch!” Kola finally spat out this lump in her throat disdainfully.
“A berserker witch!?” The three Dark Witches let out a gasp of surprise. They looked at each other but were utterly speechless.
Odd things happened every year, but never as many as this year.
Why were there so many odd sprouts that rose up in the Battle of Fate this time?
Speaking of berserker witches, this was a unique term that outsiders might not have been familiar with. That said, almost all the Northern Witches knew what kind of profession it was.
As only witches comprised the Northern Witches’ highest authority, they had inherent flaws when it came to profession compositions and skill choices.
That was their severe lack of meat shields and tanks!
The high-grade witches were all impressive individuals with strange and unheard of powers. However, most of these abilities were long-ranged and support spells. Their lack of a powerful meat shield became extremely obvious when it came to group battles.
The adepts had body-refining adepts to take the damage for their army. When necessary, bloodline adepts and golems could also hold the line. In comparison, what did the witches have?
The high-grade witches had sat down and searched for a solution. After a long time, they had come up with a peculiar answer. They invented the perverted witch advancement known as a Berserker Witch.
Apprentice witches of every branch could choose to become a berserker witch when they advanced. The moment the berserker witches engaged in combat, they would be able to convert all their magical energies into ferocious and incomparable strength. They would turn into undefeatable warriors that swept across the battlefield.
They had great magic resistances that improved even further once they went into their berserk state. This state made them capable of ignoring any and all attacks from opponents of the same grade. That said, they also lost their spellcasting abilities in exchange. The only thing they had left was their powerful physical attacks.
But this was enough!
All witches respected berserker witches. Without their sacrifices, their companions wouldn’t have the room to cast their spells in safety.
However, a candidate for the Witch of Fate turning into a berserker witch that smacked people around with a wooden bat was just a little too much of an upset of their expectations!
What was going on in this world?!
