Chapter 990 A Wind Rises
The World of Adepts.
Recently, the Crimson Clan’s situation within Zhentarim had begun to grow worse.
A rumor was starting to spread, claiming that the legendary adept who had forged the Crimson Clan had died in a foreign plane. It was said that the leaders of the clan were remaining silent about the news to avoid inciting panic.
These rumors might have seemed entirely baseless, but it had struck a weak spot of the Crimson Clan.
The Crimson Clan had multiple independent factions within. If it hadn’t been for the legendary fire adept suppressing all voices of disapproval with his tremendous personal power and the loyal support of Mary, Alice, Meryl, and several other adepts, no one could have gathered this force of vampires, goblins, dragons, and witches and turned them into a gathering to be feared by the world around them.
With Greem failing to appear in the clan despite the many passing years, and core member Fate Witch Alice starting to seclude herself within her Tower of Fate, the operation of the entire clan fell squarely upon the shoulders of Gargamel and Meryl, two mere First Grade adepts.
Meanwhile, Third Grade Vampire Adept Mary was also the only person left of the clan’s high-grade fighting force.
The Raul Wastelands were only three hundred kilometers away from the core region of the Crimson Clan. The arrogant adepts of the Fabres Clan never expected Mary to be so ferocious and spent far too much time raiding the place. By the time they had filled their storage devices with loot and prepared to return to the clan for a celebration, Mary had descended with seven Second Grade adepts, Billis, Zacha, and Tigule, sealing off their path of retreat.
After a bloody battle, the Raul Wastelands were wiped off the map, and both parties suffered a terrible price for their confrontation.
Two Second Grade blood elves died on the spot, with Mary suffering severe injuries and the other clan adepts sustaining wounds of various severity as well. On the other hand, of the two Third Grade adepts of the Fabres Clan, one was heavily injured, and the other had sustained some light wounds. Five of their Second Grade adepts had died, and countless others were wounded.
The battle of Raul Wastelands stunned the entirety of Zhentarim!
In the eyes of the people, the only thing that the Crimson Clan could do in response to the aggressive advances of a veteran clan was to defend their headquarters firmly and await the moment the enemy had exhausted all their strength and finally go on the retreat.
No one could have expected Bloody Queen Mary to have the daringness to bite back and tear a bloody piece of flesh right off the back of the Fabres Clan. The deaths of five Second Grade adepts might not shake the foundations of the Fabres Clan, but it was no less than a wicked slap across their face.
Zhentarim bubbled with commotion for a moment. Everyone looked on silently to see how the Fabres Clan would react.
It was said that the battle of Raul Wastelands had caused the Fourth Grade clan leader of the Fabres Clan to fume with anger.
