Chapter 150
The Magical Swamp was still the same as always, wet and dark, like a pond of stagnant water that exuded a stinking smell.
However, under the surface of this filthy and troubled water, a terrible undercurrent was brewing.
For the Probationary Apprentices, who spent days and nights on the first floor of the tower, their minds were always filled with envy whenever official Apprentices walked past them proudly. Yet, little did they know, a deadly storm, more than enough to destroy everything, was blotting out the sky and covering the earth while sweeping towards their direction.
In this massive storm, those who lacked preparation would not be able to escape death by sheer good luck.
Another ten days passed in this harsh environment. Finally, the frightful day arrived!
It was early in the morning of a gloomy and overcast day. Most of the apprentices were still indulging in their sweet dreams. However, the devilish Adept Anderson had just completed the construction and modification of his mysterious magical array.
After he came out from the specifically isolated inter-space, Adept Anderson quickly connected his Spirit with the controlling core of the tower and brought all the tower’s information into his mind.
He had been busy working in the inter-space recently, so he didn’t have a complete understanding regarding any changes in the outside world. But as he was the highest authority in the Adept Tower, nothing that happened within the tower could hide from his senses and examination.
Using the entire Swampy Tower as his background support, the endless supply of pure magical energy that came through space and reached this isolated space kept being injected into the invisible barrier outside of Anderson’s body. To injure him, Mary’s attack had be powerful enough to break this barrier with one single strike, or else, with the supplement of this endless energy, it was absolutely impossible for her to deplete the Wind element energy on this barrier.
“My beautiful, elegant personal guard and servant, stop pressing down your true savage and wild nature. Give up your meaningless resistance, and from now on, continue to bow under the feet of your great master, Anderson…”
As Adept Anderson, hovering on top of the altar, murmured under his breath, in the middle of a frenzied attack, Mary’s body suddenly trembled and her bloodshot eyes instantly turned pale white. Unconsciously, she stopped her attack.
“Yes, that’s right! Go now, go… Under the altar are the countless sheep I prepared specifically for you. Go now and taste their blood; let their boiling hot, fresh blood warm your cold body once again…”
A slightly pained, struggling expression appeared on Mary’s beautiful face. But unfortunately, under the restriction of Adept Anderson’s talisman, her will was unworthy of mention. In less than three seconds, her primary consciousness was toppled by the raging instinct of the vampire.
Some cracking noises came from Mary’s throat. Her body flickered as she jumped off the altar, landing on top of the Apprentice Adept closest to her. A pair of razor sharp vampire fangs poked through her lips and impaled the arteries on the apprentice’s neck. Startled from slumber, the apprentice cried out loudly in pain, but too bad, his cries and struggle made no difference. In just a brief moment, his voice petered out.
When Mary left his body and leapt toward the next target, a sweet smile could be vaguely seen on the face of this apprentice, whose blood had all been sucked out. It was as if he was still indulging in some sweet dream of happiness.
