Chapter 313
Chapter 313 Fate
I will not die!
I definitely won’t die!
Alice exuded confidence even with the terrible situation she was experiencing.
Not for any other reason but the fact that she did not sense death from fate.
If death wasn’t a possibility, then why shouldn’t she go down the most dangerous path, and commit to the riskiest actions to reach the best outcomes!
If Greem could tell what Alice was thinking, he would probably be fuming right now!
She had jumped from one extreme to the other.
Rumble!
Another side of the castle collapsed from the impact. Tons of sand and debris tumbled to the ground like a landslide. Two massive claws gleaming with a metallic sheen clanged as they grabbed onto the crumbling walls.
The dragon’s ugly mouse-like face appeared in front of everyone. Then, its scaled and skinny body, as well as its broken wings, were revealed as well.
The dragon wasn’t going to be flying any time soon, judging from the state of the dragon’s wings!
Runes were already glowing around Alice. She had taken the opportunity to use Spirit enhancing arrays to break free of the illusionist’s control. She felt intense pain from every part of her body when she woke up.
She had received plenty of damage from the battle earlier. Alice wasn’t in any mortal danger, but the number of wounds she had accumulated was too large to count. She had not been able to feel pain while her Spirit was under the enemy’s control. The only thing Alice had cared to do was relentlessly attack. However, now that she had finally managed to wrestle control of her body from the enemy, the sudden surge of agony from all her wounds was enough to cripple her in an instant.
The dragon was also using the ruins of the castle to creep towards the Decayers.
It might not have long ranged attacks, but it still had tremendous strength.
It leaned against the wall and dodged as it moved forward. It even picked up broken furniture and other heavy things to throw at Alice and the Decayers.
The Decayers had powerful long-ranged attacks, but their defenses were far inferior to the Roaring Monster. They had no better way to cover for Alice than to intercept the projectiles with their acid arrows.
The illusionist, on the other hand, had utterly vanished!
…………
Back in the shadows in the distance, the Third Grade female adept Sanazar couldn’t help but turn and ask Greem.
“Hey, brat. What do you think? Will Alice die if we choose not to act and save her?”
“Er……”
An expression of deep thought appeared on Greem’s blazing face.
Indeed. Would Alice die?
The reason Alice was so calm was that fate had told her that she wouldn’t die. Which is to say, fate’s calculations should have included her two reinforcements.
Sanazar and Greem both had a clear view of the situation with their personal methods of spying on the battle. The female illusionist had already snuck to Alice’s side while the dragon had been attracting the attacks of the Decayer. She now closed the distance after applying Invisibility to herself.
The illusionist could easily kill Alice at this distance as long as she was willing to endure a round of attacks from the Decayers.
If Lady Sanazar wanted to act, she would have to move now.
However, even Greem himself still hesitated.
He wanted Sanazar to act and save Greem, thereby ending this stupid show. He also wanted to wait and see if this most powerful force known as fate had other means of protecting Alice.
Greem surveyed the surroundings. Almost everyone around the castle was dead. Where could Alice’s savior come from, if she still had one?
Alice was undoubtedly one of Greem’s most treasured subordinates that he had invested most of his resources into. Letting her die here like this would be a massive waste. But Greem seriously wanted to know. Was fate really that powerful and mysterious?
The two thoughts competed in his mind. He couldn’t help but feel unnerved.
“Chip, could you calculate the possibility of Alice surviving if we refuse to act?”
“Zero. Disregarding unknown variables that exist outside of our control, the chance of Alice surviving is zero!”
Damn it! If Alice couldn’t survive without help, then they had to act.
Greem wasn’t willing to use the life of a vital subordinate to test the limits of fate.
However, an unexpected change happened on the battlefield just as Greem was about to request Sanazar to help.
Dammit! How did it come to this!
