Chapter 996 - Teleportation Quota
Chapter 996 Teleportation Quota
The stranger who stepped into the cave with Italil was exceptionally tall.
A thick black cloak with a hood hid most of the stranger’s body. Not a trace of skin was even exposed.
A pair of eyes containing a strange ‘power’ stared out from under the shadow of the hood, singing and burning all who looked upon them. All the witches looking at the stranger’s eyes had no choice but to look away. Some of the weaker witches even felt their eyeballs hurt as tears welled up and blurred their vision.
Though the witches were somewhat intimidated by this, their reactions were calm and composed. There was even a trace of joy on their faces.
The identity of the stranger might be unknown, but the power they used clearly belonged to the system of adepts.
That was the main reason why the witches felt a trace of relief!
“Sisters, put your staffs away! Allow me to introduce an esteemed guest.” Italil was a composed middle-aged witch, but even she had a trace of excitement on her face now.
Moreover, given the selfishness of the adepts, Greem would never just hand over the chance to save two lives to the Deceit Witches without a proper reward.
Naturally, Greem’s original intentions were to bring the two Third Grade witches back with him. That was the best way to minimize the damage and losses that the Deceit Witches would suffer in losing this planar war.
The rest of the witches that remained only needed to scatter, hide, and wait for the next rescue team to arrive to be able to return to the World of Adepts. However, the most powerful witches amongst those who remained would only be at Second Grade. It was unknown whether the clan was willing to pay a heavy price just to bring back a bunch of First and Second Grade adepts.
As such, if they missed this opportunity, the witches who remained here would face the risk of permanently being stuck in Henvic Plane.
No rescue from their homeworld, no one to talk to, pursued and hounded by the holy knights for all eternity; that was the terrifying future that they could foresee!
“Rena is there.” Tess lifted her hand and pointed to the distance in the east.
“Rena?” Greem asked curiously. He had never expected that the first Second Grade witch to fall into the hands of the Zambez Empire had yet to die.
Italil whispered a few words of explanation to him.
It seemed like Rena was now being imprisoned in Blackmountain City, to the east.
She had become the most vicious traitor in the hands of the holy knights. All the information and secrets of the Deceit Witches were being provided to the holy knights. It was the information she provided that allowed the holy knights to so accurately pursue and hunt down the Deceit Witches.
Moreover, the holy knights had brought Rena from the capital to Blackmountain City to catch the witch remnants hiding nearby. They used her familiarity with the habits of the Deceit Witches and their methods of interaction to slowly clamp down on and restrict the witches’ living space.
It could be said that the witches’ contempt for Rena was only second to their hatred for the holy knights pursuing them now!
After a furious discussion between the witches, they finally came to an agreement with Greem.
Greem would provide the Deceit Witches with two spaces for teleportation, while the Deceit Witches would have to help him strike a vicious assault on the holy knights. However, to Greem’s absolute surprise, the two people due for teleportation decided by the witches were Witch Italil and a First Grade witch with decent talent.
Witch Tess was actually refusing to leave!
Moreover, she suggested that the witches combine forces with Greem to rescue Witch Rena from Blackmountain City.
Naturally, the witches all opposed the suggestion, but they all fell silent once Tess explained her reasoning.
The reason Tess refused to leave was to increase the weight of the witch forces remaining in Henvic Plane.
Otherwise, if only a group of First and Second Grade witches remained in Henvic Plane, they would have a difficult time surviving the pursuit of the holy knights. More importantly, it would make it incredibly unlikely for the clan to pay a heavy price to rescue them!
If Tess remained in the plane, then considering the value of a Third Grade witch, the chances of a clan rescue would significantly increase. Of course, if Witch Italil were also willing to stay behind, the witches would be even more confident in a rescue mission from the clan.
That said, everyone here knew that that would never happen!
Of course, rescuing Rena was out of the same consideration as well.
