Age of Adepts

Chapter 290: Unfathomable witch

Views:

"Drip, an unknown force field intrusion has been detected... The subject's mental perception is rapidly weakening."

"Hey, I sense that a high-energy magical creature is approaching, and the breath is dangerous... Please move away from the subject quickly."

"Hey, I sense external spiritual coercion, which has an intimidating effect on the subject... Please tell the subject whether to counterattack?"

"Drip, found out..."

"..."

The old witch's death threats echoed in his ears, and the chip in Greem's mind was beeping non-stop, and the danger alarms one after another almost drove him crazy.

However, the more critical the situation was, Greem's mental power was exceptionally focused and sharp.

Greem was surprised to find that through the elemental vision fed back by the hostile perception, the entire mushroom hut was filled with crimson red, and all the red dots representing the enemy were almost connected together, but only the old witch's low and crooked figure was projected on his retina. On it, it turned out to be... It turned out to be a big yellow dot!

Red represents hostility, and the darker the color, the stronger the hostility. Green represents friendliness, while yellow represents neutrality, indicating that the target has no prejudice against them.

How can this be!

The old witch was so determined to persecute her, and she looked like she was about to kill herself in the next moment, how could she remain neutral

Just when Greem was in doubt and didn't know how to make a choice, the yellow dot representing the old witch turned from yellow to red, showing signs of turning red.

It seems that Greem's indecision angered her, and the old witch gradually showed hostility!

No, no, the purpose of this old witch does not seem to be pure. When she discovered that Alice signed a slave contract with herself, she didn't seem to have much killing intent, and she still maintained a neutral position. And when she was forced to hesitate for a moment, she became murderous instead...

Greem's mind was spinning wildly, and some traditions and secrets about the Desperate Witch faction quickly rushed through his mind.

Greem tentatively shouted: "If I give up this contract, will your lord let me go?"

Although the old witch has strange abilities and can force the witchcraft contract to manifest, she can't change the content of the contract at all.

After all, a witchcraft contract is a basic rule protected by the laws of the plane. Unless the two parties who signed the contract willingly renounce the contract, it is possible to abolish a contract that has already taken effect. Otherwise, even a great wizard cannot abolish or change the content of the contract beyond the laws of the plane.

But just as Greem revealed his intention to renounce the contract, in his hostile perception, the old witch had completely turned into a celebrity.

"Very good, very good!" The old witch's sharp voice suddenly softened: "You can give up this contract now. As soon as this contract disappears, I will keep the girl, and you can leave with the Lost Soul Water!"

If there wasn't the hostile perception that the chip could detect in detail, perhaps Greem would have been fooled by the opponent's superficial illusion at this moment. Although the old witch spoke well, and even squeezed out an ugly smile on her face, Greem felt a chill in her heart, and instantly understood the other party's true position.

Now that he understood the other party's intentions, Greem immediately made a move without hesitation.

"Uelr Ar!" With a violent shout, Greem grabbed the void with his left hand, and the voodoo scroll appeared in his hand without a sound. The thick witchcraft book opened with a snap, and the tough kraft paper began to flip quickly, and soon stopped on a certain page.

A red light burst out from the witchcraft book, and the runes, marks, lines, and images on the page began to light up one by one, and a phantom of a tumbling fireball was quickly outlined above the page. With the rapid injection and filling of the red light in the sky, the phantom of the fireball changed from virtual to real, and soon transformed into a terrifying fireball with a diameter of one meter.

And guided by Greem's spiritual force, the burst fireball immediately locked onto the sneering old witch, and bombarded it with a whoosh.

The distance between the two sides was less than 5 meters, and the speed of the fireball was extremely fast, almost flying towards the ugly witch as soon as it was fired.

At the same time, Greem waved his right hand and pushed Alice towards the door of the Mushroom Hut, and said in a low voice, "You go first, and I'll be there soon. Hurry up..."

And Alice was obviously confused by the scene in front of her, turned around and ran out the door in a daze.

This series of actions seemed extremely complicated, but in fact, it was only a short moment of two or three fingers in the eyes of everyone in the arena.

Wizards have always been good at mental power, and their thinking activity and speed far exceed that of ordinary people. Coupled with the nuanced mental perception, it is just a stupid effort for others, but they have already changed seven or eight thoughts and put them into practice one by one.

Greem observed the old witch's reaction with all his strength through the sensor chip.

There is a strong force field disturbance outside the opponent's body, making it impossible for the chip to spy on the slightest information in her body. But when the other party's mental thoughts completely oppress Greem's spiritual perception, the chip can quickly analyze the basic intentions of the other party through every subtle change in the spirit and elements in the surrounding environment.

Such a fine-grained ability may not be of much use in a formal battle.

With the terrifying ability of the opponent's second-level witch, I'm afraid that any second-level witchcraft is beyond Greem's ability to bear. So what if he analyzed the opponent's intentions in advance? An attack that should be unstoppable is still unstoppable, and an attack that should be avoided is still unavoidable.

The gap in strength is there!

Combat skills and experience can only be used among opponents of the same level. As for cross-tier battles? That is purely a self-inflicted suicide act!

So Greem used the chip to monitor and observe the changes in the old witch's hostility. It was not to fight the opponent, but to verify whether his guess was correct!

Sure enough, when Greem "bravely" attacked him, the old witch Lianna's hostility subsided inexplicably. And when Greem was struggling to "protect" Alice away, the old witch's hostility completely subsided, and even shifted her stance from the previous neutrality to the light green friendliness.

Bingo, bet right!

Greem lifted his spirits, and immediately turned around and ran away without hesitation.

The stage has been set up, let's see how the old witch ends up!

A moment later, Greem and Alice were tied back by the terrifying black python.

What Greem didn't expect was that the terrifying black python was also a level 2 monster, and it was also the old witch Liana's magic pet. So when it flicked its long tail, the black scaled snake tail unexpectedly stretched to a length of more than ten meters, easily wrapping Greem and Alice who had lost their ability to cast spells.

And Greem's explosive fireball inspired by the voodoo scroll was inhaled by the black python's mouth, and then the fireball burst, and a faint black smoke spewed out from the black python's nostrils.

Greem swallowed and digested an explosive fireball, but the black python was not injured at all, which made Greem's face change in horror. The strong self-confidence that had been established after the battle against the 2nd-order Glorious Knight on the alien plane was smashed into pieces in an instant, and it was hard to clean up.

Damn it, how come the second level of the alien plane is so much worse than the second level of the wizard world!

"You are very good! Jie Jie Jie..." The old witch showed a rare scary smile on her face: "For this little girl, she dared to take the initiative to attack a second-level wizard. No wonder this little girl is so willing to be your Your servant! Not bad, not bad, really good... "

Both Greem and Alice had bewildered expressions on their faces, as if confused by the scene in front of them.

It's just that one is pretending, while the other is really confused!

Seeing two people, one big and one small, staring at her in bewilderment, the old witch Lianna jumped off the high wooden stool with difficulty and turned to the wooden table. With a long stick in one hand and a corner of the black robe dragged on the ground in the other, she squinted her eyes and looked at the two of them again before nodding in satisfaction.

"I know that you are full of doubts. But the old woman doesn't have so much time to explain to you. Hey, that boy, your little maid needs to stay with me for ten days. After ten days, you can come and take her away ! Before that, I first need to teach her how to be a real witch! And you... you can leave now."

Greem only felt a flash of light before Witch Lianna's hand.

In the next second, he was already alone at the entrance of the dark swamp.

And a black clay pot was being held in his arms!

Greem raised his head and looked at the dark swamp where the fog was getting thicker and thicker, and it was already difficult to distinguish the scenery inside. His eyes revealed complicated and difficult emotions.

After a while, he finally shook his head and left here.

...

Seven days later.

Gullit Arena.

As a specialized arena for esoteric wizards, Guliat is well-known in the entire outer ring area. Many Upanishad wizards have encountered disputes, and they also like to come here to resolve their conflicts in a competitive way.

And today, the Byron family from the Dagon area of Sandy Tower and the Gretor family from the northern part of the Silver Alliance will decide each other's residence rights through a puppet battle.

If the Gretor family wins, it means that the Byron family will lose their last foothold in Sky City, and will no longer be able to participate in the internal resource purchase rights of the Silver Alliance. If the Byron family wins, as the challenger, the Gretto family will have to lose a large amount of resources.

It is said that the huge amount of resources is enough to empty the resource treasure house of a small family!

Therefore, this puppet battle also attracted the attention of many shop owners and garrison wizards.

They either wanted to see with their own eyes how the Byron family fell, or they simply wanted to collect some basic data about fighting puppets. Before the battle even started, the arena spectator seats were sold out, making it hard to find a ticket.
