Chapter 25
Age of Adepts Chapter 25
Alice deserved her status as an Advanced Apprentice Adept. Although Greem had only said a few words, she was able to immediately figure out what her weakness was.
Her innate Spatial talent was still worthy of being called ‘invincible’.
At least, she was invincible when faced with foes that were at the same level.
So long as one was unable to break through her paper-thin Protection Barrier, her body was completely safe. No matter what was thrown at her, there was no way you could penetrate that invisible shield and hurt her. At the same time, she could always casually torture her enemy with her Spatial Cut and Telekinesis.
But, no matter how sturdy a shield was, there would always be a weak spot, and Alice’s Protection Barrier was no exception.
In order to not be completely isolated from the world when Protection Barrier was up, she had to leave a hole that allowed her to ‘communicate’ with the outside world. This hole was how she was able to launch attacks at her enemy while her Barrier was up.
So, in order to cover up this ‘loophole’, she purposely studied Wind Elementium spells. After that, using invisible Wind Elementium, she patched the hole. The invisible Protection Barrier was mixed with the invisible Wind Elementium barrier creating a combination that had previously deceived all her enemies, giving them an impression that her Protection Barrier was perfect and flawless, and that no weak spot existed.
But she never would have thought that today, in this obscure place, she would meet with a group of such strange beings who defied her invincible status. One was a disgusting man who had modified his body and turned himself into a bug man, another was a Beginner Apprentice who could actually see Elementium in the world around him with his naked eyes. Having encountered of this two strange men had brought her to the unluckiest day of her life.
But, in next second, something happened that made her cry out in surprise.
Transforming rapidly, the tiny palm-size bat bloated up like a balloon, turning into a tall, slim human girl wearing a striking red dress. Not only that, she didn’t perform any dodging movements, and simply fell straight toward the Spatial Cuts, aggressively leaping onto Alice’s body.
Relishing in Alice’s greatly terrified expression, claws appeared on the fingers of this red-dressed girl, becoming extremely sharp and pointy and indistinctly glowing like molten metal. Also, as she fell, the look of this young girl changed dramatically, as her green eyes turned bloody red, looking as if blood was going to drip out of them.
As the red-eyed girl fell through the Spatial Cuts, the sound of flesh being torn apart by the spatial attack sizzled through the air.
A huge amount of blood splashed out from the back of the red-dressed girl, and numerous crisscrossed holes could be seen on her body. The series of cuts had turned her body into a human mesh.
But this red-dressed girl didn’t pause or back off as her bright red lips were opening wider and wider, and two frightening looking fangs poked through her lips. When she finally reached Alice, she simply bit into her exposed neck.
Damn it, she was a Vampire!
She, like everyone, had heard of these bloody beasts before, but, as an Advanced Apprentice Adept, Alice immediately realized what was faced with.
Like a mosquito biting on her neck, a tingling sensation was felt, which quickly turned into a pleasurable feeling that made her feel like she was walking on clouds. Following the drawing of her blood, she clearly felt her life force was quickly fading away. Her body felt drowsy and was so comfortable that she just wished she could let go of everything and fall into a deep slumber.
But no matter what, Alice was an Advanced Apprentice who had a strong will, and she had high resistance toward the paralytic poison being injected into her body via the Vampire fangs. After being dazed for only a brief moment, she managed to regain control of her will.
For the first time in her life, Alice felt like death was knocking at her front door.
In her previous two battles, though he had managed to damage her, Evil Bugs was not her match. As for Sinbad, if they hadn’t fought in her swamp, the leader of Ghost Nanny would have been instantly slaughtered.
But at this moment, Alice really felt the threat of death.
If she didn’t properly manage her current situation, she, who would very likely become a great Adept, would die in this filthy land.
Having no alternative, Alice gathered the very last drops of her strength and, once again, let out a frightening scream that shook the world around her.
In next second, space shattered, and everything around her was crushed into powder!
