Age of Adepts

If it were anyone else, they might have fallen prey to the fox girl’s Natural Charm.

However, since Adept Holly had the courage to participate in this mission, he naturally had the skills to back it up as well.

Moreover, defending one’s mental consciousness was a priority for all adepts!

Adept Holly let out a grunt and endured the fox girl’s Natural Charm with the aid of his Soul Brooch. His mental consciousness swept around him as he picked up the opponent’s subtle movement.

Adept Holly raised his arm and covered his face.

Pupupu!

A series of strange sounds rang out. The dozen seemingly soft and weightless fox hairs had pierced straight into the astral armor, embedding themselves deep inside.

“Is he dead?”

“No!”

“Dammit! I knew he wouldn’t be so valiant as to sacrifice himself. Where did he run off to?”

“Don’t worry; my wolf poison is still circulating in his body. I know exactly where he is. Come. Follow me!”

The two figures quickly vanished from the spot.

…………

Adept Holly burst out of thin air at the back of a building a kilometer away, covered in blood.

He rolled across the ground when he appeared, desperately taking out all sorts of potions from his pouch and drinking them as he did so.

He coughed violently as he drank them.

Purple pieces of flesh and broken organs flew out as he coughed.

Two clear black bite marks could be seen on his neck.

The flesh around the wounds had festered and swollen.

If it weren’t for his silver adept’s robe, it would have been easy to mistake him for the two-headed adept.

“Dammit! Dammit! Dammit! Those two bastards! They could’ve gone after anyone! Why me? Cough! Cough! Cough! Greem, Cherisha, you all deserve to die! Not a single one of you showed yourself even after I sent out a help signal. Dammit! With even just one of you arriving, those two bastards wouldn’t so arrogantly encircle me. Bastards, you all deserve to die.”

The werewolf’s poison was unusual. Ordinary antidotes were ineffective against it.

If this was a safe place, Adept Holly could set down a laboratory, and he just might be able to concoct a potion that could temporarily neutralize the poison. Unfortunately, this was an otherworldly battlefield where the killing did not stop. There was not a single quiet place around him, no matter how he looked.

Taking his time to analyze the wolf poison in such an environment and finding a way to neutralize it was impossible!

Moreover, two familiar energy auras were quickly approaching him in his faint spiritual senses. They would catch up in another seven or eight seconds.

Just as Adept Holly’s heart turned cold, and despair overtook his mind, a large shadow engulfed him.

By the time the foxgirl and the werewolf arrived, they saw no signs of the human adept except for all the blood on the ground.

“Dammit! Where’s the adept?” The foxgirl’s eyes were slightly red. She looked around with careful and vicious eyes.

“He was still here earlier. I do not sense the aura of spatial teleportation!” The werewolf landed on the ground and lifted his snout to sniff, “Hang on. I smell the strange stench of shadow power. The adept was taken away by a shadow creature!”

“Dammit! Which bastard dares to snatch the prey from our jaws? Chase them. We will catch them at all costs!”

The next second, the two beastmen vanished from the spot.
