Age of Adepts

With the fire creatures staving off the shadow army’s pursuit, Greem could finally free himself to deal with the two ‘cowardly’ and ‘despicable’ spirit shadows.

Despite being Fourth Grade creatures, neither of these two spirit shadows had the attitude or manner of an individual of that power. They hid behind the Third Grade shadow warriors, only using their shadow arrows to attack the ball of light to tear open a path for the weaker shadow beings.

They didn’t dare take even a single step towards the ball of light themselves!

If they believed they were safe as long as they kept their distance, they would have underestimated Greem’s abilities. After all, the legendary fire adept was known for the ferocity of his elementium attacks!

Greem chuckled within the fireball. The golden fire within his body started to gather rapidly.

It was as if a jet of golden fire were shooting out of his blazing eyes. His long, black hair was scattered across his shoulders, flickers of fire dancing and leaping upon them. His entire body was engulfed by violent and ferocious flames, constantly radiating terrifying heat and light.

“My fury as my power, Blazing Light!”

Shani could almost already see herself being accused and criticized by all the clan elders during the next clan meeting as she watched the high-grade shadows turn to dust beneath the red beams of light.

Those bastards would most definitely force her to compensate for this ‘mistake’ with her own resources!

That was a given!

Shani’s heart bed unstoppably. She could no longer sit behind the lines now. She hastily summoned the surviving spirit shadow to her side and had the spirit shadow replace her as the conduit for the origin tower. She personally descended upon the frontlines furiously, enveloped by a tide of darkness and shadows.

Dark Witch Shani had finally shown herself!

A smile appeared on Greem’s face inside the fireball. He quickly adjusted his condition.

A fireball and a ball of darkness. The two powerful adepts of entirely different attributes faced off in the air, their eyes fixed upon each other.

[Beep. Locked on to target’s position.

[Target creature’s attribute is darkness. Target possesses various short-ranged mobility spells, including Shadowstalk and Shadow Teleportation. Possibility of maintaining lock-on to the enemy’s position inside the pseudo-shadow domain is no more than 23%/

[Dynamic trajectory estimation and calculation online. Lock-on possibility increased to 46%.

[Elementium Sight assistance system online. Lock-on possibility increased to 62%.

[Spatial node distribution scan complete. Lock-on possibility increased to 71%.

[Warning. Said possibility is the most optimal result given host’s current abilities. Unless host can break the pseudo-shadow domain, the ability to maintain lock-on will be perpetually affected by external factors!

So, 71%. That is enough!

Greem’s eyes flickered slightly.

It was important to note that he was now fighting an intermediate Fourth Grade Dark Witch that had advanced several hundreds of years ago. The fact that the Chip could increase his lock-on possibility to 71% within the pseudo-shadow domain that the enemy had so carefully laid out was already unimaginable.

The real key to victory in this battle between Fourth Grade adepts was whether they could successfully unleash the might of their spells on their enemy.

Due to the existence of defensive forcefields, mobility spells, defensive spells, and the environment itself, maintaining a perpetual lock on the opponent’s position and ensuring a hundred percent accuracy on all spells was nearly impossible.

Being unable to lock onto the opponent meant a high possibility that your spell would miss. That was not just a waste of precious magic power, but a waste of the opportunity to attack. It would be simply unforgivable!

With the Chip’s aid, Greem’s possibility of maintaining a lock-on to Shani’s position was at 71%. It was a terrifying number. In contrast, the Dark Witch’s chance of successfully locking onto Greem was no more than 30%.

This difference in numbers would affect their combat effectiveness so drastically that it was almost unimaginable!

“Sadly, you Dark Witches still chose to make enemies out of me in the end. I will give you this one opportunity today, then. Let us see if you will be the one to die, or I will be the one to live!” Greem chuckled sinisterly, his thunderous voice causing the very domain itself to rumble and shake.

Shani laughed coldly in her shadows.

“It’s not your place to decide how we Dark Witches choose. Stay here forever, won’t you!”

As Shani let out her battlecry, the dark energy within the entire pseudo-shadow domain came to life. The darkness lunged desperately towards Greem from every direction.

The true battle had finally begun!
