Chapter 1290 Enemies Everywhere
Envy and resentment flickered in Adept Kerala’s eyes when she saw Mary in the night sky, as bright and eye-catching as a blooming rose.
She tapped her staff, and a strange, tiny monkey climbed out of her sleeve. The monkey sat on her shoulder and glared at Mary with its red eyes. Kerala’s body began glowing as she applied a series of halos to herself.
Bloody Mary was a terrifying killer known for her Agility. Even Kerala had to be on her guard with so little distance between them.
“Mary, is your presence here meant to be a challenge to me?” Kerala glared at Mary furiously as she said.
“How, how could I dare to do so?” In her deathly sweet voice, Mary spoke, “You’re a real old veteran, even among the Fourth Grades! You will have to look for Greem if it’s a fight you want. I could hardly be bothered by such crude matters.”
“Then why are you standing in my way?”
“One of my subordinates just died. Of course, I had to look to clear the ledger with you. I will be very upset if that Mona girl of yours doesn’t die tonight!”
Just the thought of this filled Kerala’s heart with fury!
Of course, Kerala had confidence in defeating an unintelligent golem that was only capable of fixed offensive and defensive routines.
However, she was in a hurry to save someone. To start fighting against a difficult opponent like this shadow golem here was not exactly the best idea!
Kerala didn’t want to give up yet. She turned and headed towards the tower once again.
However, just as she turned around, a crisp frog’s croak could be heard from her waist.
Kerala paused for a moment. She took out a mysterious wooden badge from her belt. Magic surged into the belt as a tiny humanoid projection appeared above the badge. It resembled Psionic Marilyn Mona.
Mona’s projection had glazed eyes with blood streaking down from the corners. The projection slowly turned into loose sparks of light before completely crumbling in front of Kerala’s eyes.
Marilyn Mona was dead!
As a core member of the Dener Clan, Kerala naturally had Mona’s soul brand in her possession. Now that even her soul brand had scattered, it wasn’t hard to imagine what had happened to her!
Scarface Gallow had lost all hope of advancement, while Marilyn Mona had died to the Crimson Clan’s encirclement. Even if the Crimson Clan had also lost a Third Grade adept, this war was already a loss in Kerala’s mind.
Moreover, as the war raged on, the Dener Clan would continue to bleed.
It was unbearable torture for her, the leader of this clan!
The Dener Clan might be supported by several other Fourth Grade organizations in public and the shadows. However, what kind of support and aid could compensate for the loss of two Third Grade elites?
It was at this point that Kerala truly regretted her actions.
She should not have listened to the promises of those gutless fools. She should never have been the one to step forward, using the Dener Clan as the blade.
Kerala, who was about to leave, instead turned around and shouted at the black smoke, “Greem, I know you can hear me. Three days from now! I will be waiting for you at Stoneshard Valley to resolve this conflict!”
Having said that, she turned and returned to the resource site without looking back.
A long while later, a towering metal figure slowly appeared from the smoke. It stared in the direction Kerala had vanished into and brooded for a moment. Finally, it shook its head silently and disappeared.
At the same time, a Mothership was hovering somewhere a few thousand kilometers away.
After giving Shadow Demon the order to retreat, Greem cut off his spiritual connection with the golem. He turned back and asked, “What’s the current situation of the war? What other organizations and clans have gotten involved? You all should have been able to investigate that much by now, am I right?”
Gargamel, Meryl, Emelia, Snowlotus, Vanlier, and the other subordinates were sitting below him.
They looked at each other. In the end, it was Meryl who stood up and replied, “Teacher, we conducted our investigations. Although no official adepts from any other clans have appeared in the war so far, quite a few of their armies and forces have been seen.”
“Ah, what are there?”
“The White Spirits of the Entom Clan appeared during the Battle of Stoneshard, and the Swamp Flying Dragon Army of the Banda Clan was seen during the attack on Fallmountain City. Apart from these, we also saw the Cloud Giant force of the Gaia Clan, the Ghost Army of Annemdor Academy, and the Stonedragons of the Fabres Clan.”
The person who stood behind the Entom Clan was naturally Elder Nicolas, Elder Matthew led the Banda Clan, and the Gaia Clan was founded by that man with the Gold Titan’s bloodline. Meanwhile, Annemdor Academy was a private asset belonging to Vice-Chairman Mirva.
Who would’ve thought an ‘ordinary’ adept war would have involved so many Fourth Grades?
Greem chuckled coldly, an expression of thought taking over his face.
