Chapter 329 Bloody Sorceress
“Magic-Generator Furnace?” Greem contemplated in silence, “Are you sure this is the name he mentioned?”
“I am, master! I am one hundred percent certain!” Snorlax still had that fawning expression on his face, but a sly and scheming light glowed in his beady eyes, “I even gave him the book for free to win his trust. I didn’t ask for anything in return, but a chance to take a look at this unusual item he described!”
“And?”
“He lifted the light screen and brought me on tour around his magical lab. We saw the spider tank.”
“And the magic generator furnace?”
“Of course I saw the furnace as well!”
“Mm, you’ve done well!” Greem nodded in satisfaction, “You must have recorded it, didn’t you?”
If he were able to create an army in the future, this Goblin Empire would be his first choice for an invasion. As long as he was able to get his hands on their technology and thoroughly examine this ‘magic-generator furnace,’ he would easily be able to create a magical mechanical empire for himself! The strange and varied powers available to the adepts made this a straightforward task.
Greem couldn’t help but get excited at the prospect of possessing such power.
…………
The Knight’s Plane.
The cries and calls of bugs continued within the primal green forest. The sea of trees waved as the winds blew across the place.
A small group was traversing through the woods with much difficulty.
The one standing at the very front was a muscular man in chainmail. A double-edged war axe in his hand swung about like it was weightless. He carved a broad path before them with every slash of his axe.
However, even though a makeshift path had been created, there were still many bushes, vines, and brambles by the sides. It made their movements exceptionally difficult and tiring.
There were only five people in the group. The other members were equally as muscular as the first man. Their gray cloaks were bulky, and it seemed as if they were all carrying some large weapons with them.
“Locard, how much longer until we reach our destination? I hate this humid and warm environment,” Slap. A guy in the middle of the formation grumbled as he slapped the mosquito that had landed on his face. There were far too many of the pesky insects.
As expected of mosquitos in a primal forest, every single one of them was the size of a finger. Their wrinkled abdomens could even swell to the size of a fist when they were full of human blood.
Blood splashed all over this guy’s face when the mosquito’s abdomen broke.
“Dammit, dammit, dammit.” The terrible environment had caused his mood to sour, “I hate this mosquito, I hate this forest, I hate everything. I don’t want to run anymore. I would rather turn back and fight with those bloodsucking devils. I would rather die in glorious battle than rot in this goddamned forest.”
“Silence!” The man at the end of the group was the leader. He scolded angrily, “No one is stopping you if you want to die, but don’t drag the rest of us with you. Do not forget your pride as a radiant knight, Sim!”
“Pride, honor……” The man named Sim was clearly at his limits, “You keep yelling pride, day in, day out. What pride and honor is there now that we’ve been reduced to dogs chased by those accursed adepts? Their evil arts have also exterminated the royal bloodline. What can we do from here on out?”
Sim’s careless words plunged the members of the group into silence.
The disastrous defeat at Greenland Forest. The dragon raids on the capital. The dragons’ raiding of the entire continent…none of this could compare to the impact of the royal bloodline’s termination!
With the forceful domination of the adepts, these previously glorious witcher knights had become dogs without a home, chased by packs of wolves and jaguars, torn to pieces.
However, those people that wanted to attack them and exchange the heads of the knights for rewards from the adepts were no real threat. The pursuing adepts were the true nightmares they needed to avoid!
The Bloody Queen was no longer elegant. She had turned into the Bloody Sorceress, an existent that these radiant knights and spellbreaker knights feared from the very core of their being.
Evil Bugs was no longer as weak as before. This demon of bugs had also become an unstoppable terror with every piece of flesh he consumed. Many of their companions had died before their eyes in that very manner, torn to pieces by swarms of insects.
“Silence. I think I hear something.” The man with the axe in the vanguard hushed them.
Everyone quickly shut up and listened carefully to every movement in the forest.
There indeed seemed to be a vague sound ringing in the calming sound of trees waving in the wind.
It was the sound of beating wings.
“It’s the Bloody Sorceress! Quick, run…”
The leader’s expression changed all of a sudden. He started shouting.
A black cloud of bats surged forth from the woods amid their shouts. They pressed down upon the knights like an ominous cloud.
The Bloody Sorceress was here!
