Chapter 17
As they looked out and saw the massive crowd of demons and wandering souls overwhelming the mercenaries around them, the three Apprentice Adepts were, finally, forced to remove their cloaks and join the battle, revealing their faces to the world.
The leader of the three was a muscular young man. He had a head of disheveled gold hair that hung down to his shoulders. Just under his hair, a mysterious circlet adorned his forehead. It was clearly not an ordinary item. He was wearing a delicately made leather jacket and carrying a broadsword on his back. Judging from the size of the sword, it would weigh too much for the average man to even swing it.
The other man was dressed like nobility. The delicate and luxurious clothes on his body were quite impressive, but what was even more impressive was his head. He had dark green skin, a long narrow mouth, and a thin tongue that kept flicking in and out… He, unexpectedly, had the head of a snake.
Meanwhile, a little girl stood in between these two men. She had a face like an angel and was wearing a long light yellow dress. She was of average height and was holding a gold colored birdcage in her hands. Strangely enough, not only she did not show any sign of fear towards the bloody scene in front, but she was actually glancing around with a cute smile on her face, which made her simply look like a curious young girl.
Greem’s eyes suddenly went wide.
Via his Elementium Vision, he saw very bright glowing Elementium, and Spiritual ripples that looked like tidal waves, coming from all three Apprentice Adepts.
By the Chip’s evaluation, these three were either Pseudo-Adepts or elites among the Advanced Apprentice Adepts. No matter who they were, they were not something Greem, a beginner Apprentice Adept, could ever think of handling.
Why had such strong people come here like this? This place was the private property of Master Anderson, and a resources site of the Sarubo Family. With the exception of the annual resource shipment, this place was not open to outsiders.
When he arrived at the main door of the Tower, the newly appointed Apprentice Leader, Ellen, was here along with the three strongest: Hawkeye, Evil Bugs, and Madwoman.
Greem threw a puzzled glance at Ellen, but soon realized why they were here.
The warning he sent via the magic talisman could only be received by a special magical item, which was currently held in Ellen’s hand. When Ellen heard there were three powerful Apprentice Adepts in the Magical Swamp, he knew that, with his abilities, there was no way he could chase off or capture these outsiders. Therefore, before Greem had returned, Ellen had asked the three strongest for help.
It, obviously, cost him something in order to obtain help from the three strongest… but only he knew what that cost was.
Recalling to what he witnessed just now, Greem didn’t have too much confidence in the ‘Strongest Three’. No matter how he compared them, those three outsiders were stronger than them. Perhaps Ellen was wishfully thinking he could capture all of them?
