Age of Adepts

0868 Chapter 0868 - Another City.

The battle was on in an instant!

The mist thirty meters away from the eyes split to the left and right, and a blood-colored figure rushed in front of the Lil Witch as quickly as lightning.

The ice shield that was instantly held up was just right to block the terrifying bloody hand that was stabbing at the other party.

The ice shields were hung on the opponent's body, and when the opponent's body was suddenly slowed down, Lil Witch waved her instant wand, and a dense ice lance and snow sword swept the opponent into the air with the cold wind.

Dense wounds immediately appeared on the opponent's slender body, but before blood could burst out of his body, these wounds were frozen by the rapidly cooling cold temperature. Thus allowing the wounds to become scarred, there was little blood visible on the scene.

No... Mary couldn't be this weak?

Instantly understanding the situation, the Lir Witch frowned, immediately gathering her mind and planning to pass on the news to her partners who had rushed to reinforce her. But at this time, the blood shadow forcefully exploded the ice and snow that had entangled itself, and pounced on Lier again.

Damn it...this was the enemy's ploy!

Although she understood, but in the face of an opponent of the same level who was sworn to tangle with her, the Lir Witch couldn't really be distracted to send a message to warn her companion. Two beautiful figures, one red and one white, fought with each other in no time, turning the muddy swamp upside down.

The witch companions who were distributed to the left and right of the Lil Witch received the warning of her attack and quickly approached it while sending a warning to their partners on their side. The Thurlow Witch, who was also at the peak of the same rank 2, even more so, rushed to the front.

In this way, she virtually left behind the two witches who were originally at the edge of the search formation.

Laila was such an unlucky person!

She was at the far right of the sector, and by the time the warning message reached her, her two partners on her left were already moving quickly towards the battlefield. By the time she received the alert of the attack and stopped to head for reinforcements, there was nearly 2 miles of distance between her and her partner.

In normal times, this 2 miles of space would be nothing at all. If she flew at full speed, it would only take 30 to 40 seconds for her to meet up with her partner.

But in the eyes of someone with a heart, these 2 miles were already the distance between life and death!

Just as she turned to prepare to rush to the battlefield, five blood shadows flew out simultaneously from the sludge swamp she was in.

Two came out of the stinking mud, one flew up from the withered ghost tree not far away, and two simply swooped down from the high clouds....

In almost no time at all, they formed a four-sided siege on the lone Leyla.

Without a cleanse, the ones willing to ambush in the mud were naturally the two Blood Knights, Thoros and Winsor. As soon as they showed up and exploded all over the mud and stinking water, they distantly swung two powerful blood swords at the Winter Witch thirty meters away.

The other three blood elves chirped and ghost-whistled as they jumped to Lyra's side, blocking the other's space to escape and dodge.

Damn it....

There was no time to curse the group of vampires for their insidiousness, as Lyra quickly braced her ice shield while wielding her freezing gas to freeze a blood elf that jumped to her side in place.

These blood elves were of the same level as her, so their magic resistance was also incredibly high. The Ice Sorcery that Lyra had inspired could barely freeze them in place for half a second, and with that half a second, it was enough time for her to dodge left and right among the many attacks and avoid the danger of being set on fire.

But she was dealing with 5 rank 2 vampires, after all!

Against each other alone, perhaps any one of the guys would be no match for her. But five of them swarmed her, and each of them fought without caring about the damage they received.

This made Lyra's situation instantly alarming.

Damn, it had been more than ten seconds already, had all of her fellows become blind and deaf, unable to hear or see the battle erupting here?

The Laila Witch fought hard while looking in the direction of her partners without stopping to look.

They were only halfway through the fight, but the sudden burst of energy behind them made them understand the plan. However, when they turned around to reinforce them, Mary's red bats flapped their wings and turned into a red lightning bolt, blocking the path of the two Winter Witches with her own strength.

Although the two Winter Witches were powerful, they were delusional if they wanted to defeat the swift Blood Queen in just a minute or two.

The two sides fought together for a full 70 seconds, and before the other witches arrived, Mary screeched and carried the two witches' attacks out of the battlefield and disappeared deep into the muddy swamp in a blur.

The two witches were shocked at first, and then realized that the battlefield was silent on both sides, and seemed to have been divided.

Just as they were in a dilemma, not knowing which way to go, the deputy leader, Thurlow, led the remaining 3 witches overhead, carrying a bloodstained, frozen in ice Blood Elf in her hand.

Luckily...at last, they had captured one of the other captives.

The thought had just appeared in the minds of the two witches, whirling back to the one Lyra who had fallen behind alone, and her face instantly turned white again.

One for one?

Trading a blood elf for a witch on your side?

This price didn't seem to be an advantage on the surface, but when it actually happened, it still caused many Winter Witches' brows to furrow.

These blood elves were 'monsters' that had been forcibly transformed by the other side using evil sorcery, so they were not of great elegance. On the other hand, the Winter Witches of the other side were cultivated bit by bit, at great expense.

Seriously speaking, the two sides were not on the same level, nor were they comparable.

If this was a one-for-one exchange, the one who would suffer would definitely be the Winter Witch side.

"Kill her?" A witch with a stern face and a lone cold color spoke harshly.

Deputy Chief Thurlow shook her head silently.

"No killing!" A witch next to her explained glumly, "By killing her, we've given them an excuse to kill our sisters. Don't forget, we already have two of our partners in their hands now..."

Deputy Chief Thurlow narrowed her eyes and scanned this evil and bizarre area, coldly saying, "I've been to this Silent Swamp before, and it doesn't have such an evil mist. It seems that this is a battlefield that they have prearranged. It's only because we were too careless and stepped into their home turf too easily..."

"So...are we going to search next?"

"Search!" Deputy Chief Thurlow chillingly said, "I've informed the Chief, she's moving towards us from the other side. If those vampires want to play a second game, well, I'll make them all stay..."

With that said, all the Winter Witches nodded in unison, dispersed once again, and continued their slow search forward.

Only this time, the distance between them had been reduced to two hundred meters.

However, what these Winter Witches didn't know was that at this moment, above the dense mist of the Silent Swamp, there were ten eyeball fighters slowly gliding across the sky.

The depths of the swamp mist had been prearranged with a jamming witch array, which had caused most people's spiritual perceptions to deviate greatly. But the Crimson Sorcerer's side, which had been prepared in advance, had planted special monitoring crystals all over the swamp, and then transmitted the detected information in a point-to-point manner to the eyeball fighters high above the swamp, which then transmitted the real-time dynamic map of the swamp to the vampires in charge of the battle.

Relying on this method, a single blood elf was used as bait to lure the witches into disrupting their formation, and then Mary herself intercepted them, cutting off any reinforcements that the downed witches might have received, which led to the capture of a Winter Witch on a one-for-one basis.

This changed the number of captives in Mary's hands from one to two.

However, as Mary and a few of her vampire men gathered to plan a new attack, the eyeball fighter returned with a message that preoccupied them.

In the back of the Silent Swamp, a massive ice storm was rapidly approaching. Where it passed, it froze for miles, everything froze, and even the eyeballs that Mary and the others had planted beforehand were cut off one by one.

Without asking, that Mogane had lost her patience and was beginning to make a strong entrance!

"You take the captive and go home first...I want to go meet that Mogane!"

Faced with a 3rd order witch who was close to going berserk, Mary was not willing to lick blood from the tip of a knife and pay out all of her past winnings in one handful. So under her greeting, many vampires fished out the battered and bruised Zevleena from the mud puddle, rolled up with a bloodied and drained Laila, and turned into a giant blood bat, bypassing the devastating blizzard and sneaking back to the Dragon Bone Wilderness.

Entering the Dragon Bone Wilderness was the same as entering the Fate Witch's territory. The various demons entrenched there were almost all controlled and driven by the High Tower of Fate. If the Winter Witch dared to invade, the path from here to the Tower of Fate would not be peaceful!

But Mary herself did not leave, but carefully and slowly sorted out her belongings and equipment, and used these movements to soothe her body and mind little by little.

Without the excitement of about to take on a 3rd Order witch, or the apprehensive anxiety, Mary was cold and calm inside, just like the unmoving vampire heart core.

Vampires didn't have heartbeats!

It is because of the loss of their own blood production capacity that the vampire clan is forced to suck the blood of others to compensate for their own blood loss.

Although the heart no longer beats and has lost its original function, it is still one of the most important body organs of vampires. Because most of their soul consciousness is stored within the heart core, it is the true carrier of their souls.

Grim was able to fight a 3rd rank wizard with a 2nd rank body, so why not himself?

With a burning thought of not giving in, Mary began to accelerate slowly, streaking away against the blizzard....
