Age of Adepts

Shani quickly realized something was wrong as she engaged in a melee fight with Greem.

The number of shadow creatures in the pseudo-shadow domain was rapidly dwindling from her spiritual senses.

It was a situation that supposedly should not happen.

With the origin tower’s assistance from afar and the Fourth Grade spirit shadow as a conduit for all that power, these shadow creatures should be able to swarm endlessly, drowning the entire battlefield with their fearsome numbers and fearless fighting.

It had barely been minutes since the battle started. The only reason the number of shadow creatures in the pseudo-shadow domain would be decreasing would be if the origin tower severed the portal that connected to the Shadow World. The number of shadow creatures was decreasing so quickly now that they were almost decimated by the enemy.

Dammit! What were her sisters doing in the tower? Did something go wrong along the way?

Shani became doubtful and suspicious.

When Greem followed the Chip’s instruction to change his direction of travel continuously, his body started to actually proceed in a straight line, heading straight for Shani’s room.

Indeed, the shadow core had not been hidden at all. It was simply laid out within Shani’s room. Greem had only overlooked its existence due to the unusual characteristic of this domain. Of course, there was even less possibility he would have made his way here.

Blue light flickered in Greem’s eyes.

The Chip projected two entirely different visions of the world in each individual eye using its powerful calculation abilities.

In Greem’s left eye, it looked as if he was standing in an empty space of darkness, walking about randomly like a blind man. Meanwhile, his right eye showed himself standing in the stone plaza of the town, the tragic destruction caused by his fire magic all around him.

One in his left eye and one in his right. One false and one true. If it weren’t for the Chip being unaffected by the domain’s powers, Greem would probably have had to defend against the attacks of the Dark Witch passively.

Greem walked along the scorched stone road towards a wooden building looming in the endless darkness. It was the only building that remained intact in Maple Forest Town.

Greem arrived at the small building after passing through the street. The thick doors of the house were wide open, and he could faintly sense Dark Witch Shani’s life aura above him.

It seemed like Shani had hastily swung these doors apart when she returned.

Greem strode forward into the room. The stairs stretching to the second floor lay right in front of him, in the hall of the first floor. The doors to the dining hall were also open to his left. Adept Cherisha was sitting on her chair worriedly, tilting her head constantly to try and listen and sense for the changes in elementium aura around her.

There were only twenty meters between them, yet somehow Adept Cherisha had not detected Greem’s presence at all.

Twenty meters. That was practically like breathing distance for Fourth Grade adepts!

Perhaps because there was a trace of power contained within Greem’s gaze, Adept Cherisha’s body trembled abruptly. She turned her head in confusion and looked at Greem’s position. She looked all around the empty hall but saw no abnormality or any traces of Greem’s figure.

As such, she could only consider her sensation an oversensitivity of sorts.

In truth, with how powerful Cherisha and Mangus were, this dining hall would not be able to trap them in the slightest.

However, out of fear of Shani’s ‘savagery,’ they didn’t dare to extend their powers anywhere out of the dining hall.

After all, at this moment, the entire Maple Forest Town was the battlefield of the Dark Witch and the legendary fire adept. It was very likely that some unexpected variance would be introduced if they recklessly extended their powers beyond the dining hall.

In all honesty, even Adept Holly didn’t want to engage in a head-on conflict against Shani, if possible. That was why he locked himself in his room and contained his power. He was expressing his intent to remain uninvolved with his actions.

Of course, Adept Holly and the two-headed adept were not helplessly waiting for their deaths either. Instead, they were simply using their powers to defend their own little regions.

If the Dark Witch dared to extend her shadow powers towards them, they had their own means of self-defense. However, if she ever did that, her hopes of a duel against the legendary fire adept would be dashed.

As such, even though Greem and Shani were tearing the town apart, it was perfectly peaceful in the dining hall and Adept Holly’s room. Neither of them had detected any abnormalities.

Greem smiled. He did not disturb the two-headed adept’s ‘neutrality.’ Instead, he stepped upon the stairs leading to the second floor.
