Chapter 315
Chapter 315 Backlash
The enemy being a witch was outside of his expectations, but entirely within the bounds of reason!
Greem almost mistook the old witch for Witch Liana from the Castle in the Sky, with her crooked spine, old face, and muddy eyeballs.
After all, all the old witches seemed to look exactly this way!
So ugly it was hard to even look straight at them.
The pretty illusionist from earlier must have been a disguise of this old hag.
Who knew that it was such an ugly and evil hag that hid underneath that beautiful appearance. Greem couldn’t help but be disgusted by the thought.
They had caught the culprit. What came next was Alice.
Alice’s condition was very odd. It seemed like she was merging with the spacestone sealed in her body.
However, given the difference in their powers, the current situation didn’t seem to be Alice actively merging with the spacestone; the spacestone was actively assimilating Alice into itself.
That was not a good thing!
If Alice’s Spirit was powerful enough to control the spacestone, she could have easily been the one to guide and host this merging process. She would then have been able to turn the strange spatial powers of the spacestone to her use. However, Alice was apparently at a disadvantage in the merging right now. She was the spacestone’s target of assimilation.
If this situation continued unchecked, the assimilated Alice would probably lose her independent will and turn into some kind of strange space creature.
“Chip, reflect the results of Alice’s scan!” Greem frowned as he ordered.
“Beep, instructions received.”
A soft beep rang in his mind, and a three-dimensional scan of Alice appeared in Greem’s mind. Her abdomen was where the spacestone had been sealed. Strands and threads of foreign silver energy were spilling from that location and were quickly merging into Alice’s bloodline.
“Chip, can you analyze the components and effects of this foreign energy?”
“Beep. Foreign energy composition: Active spatial material.
Effects are as analyzed:
Toughness: 217(Comparable substance: Underground Wrought Gold: 167)
Flexibility: 98(Comparable substance: Mithril: 139)
Magic Conduction Rate: 82%(Comparable substance: Mithril: 91%)
Attribute: Space (No comparable material)”
Greem silently read through the results of the analysis. He couldn’t help but be surprised by the power of the spacestone. No wonder this unique treasure could hardly be found within planes. Only trace amounts of it existed in the depths of the boundless universe.
Disregarding everything else, just its ability to absorb and manipulate spatial powers was a unique trait that belonged to it alone. It was such an unfathomable trait.
What kind of power was spatial power?
Most adepts only had a vague understanding on this point. They just knew how to utilize it, but it was hard for them to organize and come up with a proper knowledge system on space. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so few space adepts in the World of Adepts. Only those with the affinity and talent could manipulate space.
If this spacestone had been in Greem’s hands, there was nothing much he could do other than record a bunch of tiresome statistics than he didn’t know what to do with. Only a person with spatial affinity like Alice could cause such a remarkable change to occur in the spacestone.
It was way too hard for Greem to judge whether this mutation was benign or malign with what knowledge he currently had. He thought for a bit longer and decided to wake Alice up first.
A rune glowing with a faint red light appeared in the air as Greem drew with his fingers. The rune slowly descended into Alice’s head.
A short moment later, Alice’s body started to move. Her eyes began to open.
“What happened to me?” Alice quickly got up from the bed and looked around the room in confusion.
“You accidentally absorbed the powers within the spacestone back in Wylick Castle. Now…” Greem caressed his chin as he tried to think of a way to explain the situation.
“What now? Is there a problem?” Alice closed her eyes to sense. She felt an indescribable power coursing through her body. She was getting more and more powerful with every passing moment, “My condition right now seems to be very good!”
Greem shook his head and helplessly said, “Don’t get too excited. You should look at your stomach first!”
Alice lifted her head doubtfully. She assessed Greem’s expression but couldn’t find anything false about it. A sick feeling rose in her heart.
Rip.
She tore her robe apart. She looked down and cried out in shock.
Her stomach had become almost transparent!
