Age of Adepts

Morgana walked slowly step by step on the keel wilderness.

Within sight, there were miserable and resentful lands flooded with barren grass everywhere. From time to time, a huge dragon bone buried in loess and mud could be seen in the distance.

After tens of millions of years of wind and frost, not a trace of color could be seen on the white, withered bones. Whenever the cold wind blew through the cracks of the bones, it would bring out a miserable, ghostly howl of the soul.

And just above such barren grass, yellow sand and black soil, there were uncountable strange demons wandering about. They were entrenched in twos and threes, tirelessly patrolling this resentful wilderness cursed by the dragon. Whenever they encountered foreign invaders, they would swarm to this land, using their fearless ferocity and terrifying numbers to keep the bone thieves on this land forever.

It was said that in the depths of the Dragon Bone Wilderness, there was a cursed Dragon Bone Altar, which was made from the bones of high-ranking dragons and dragon crystals.

Therefore, despite knowing the terrifying nature of the Dragon Bone Wilderness, there were still bone thieves and treasure hunters who flocked here, vainly hoping to unearth one or two remaining Dragon Crystals and live happily ever after without worry.

Of course, they came and they stayed.

Since then, the keel wilderness has also been filled with a number of wandering souls who wail miserably.

For such legends, Morgana, as the head of the Winter Witch, naturally knew much more than ordinary people!

The Dragonbone Altar does exist.

But it wasn't in the wilderness, it was hidden deep beneath the base of the Tower of Destiny.

Want to unearth the Dragon Bone Altar? Okay, let's knock down the Tower of Destiny first!

The Dragon Bone Altar had played a crucial role in making the Tower of Destiny the origin of the Fate Line. It is safe to say that without the Dragon Bone Altar, the Tower of Destiny would not have been magical.

Where did the Fate Witches' innate ability to sense fate come from? It was the Dragon Bone Altar beneath the High Tower of Fate.

Therefore, the Fate Sorceress lineage was more appropriately called the guardians of the Dragon Bone Altar rather than the masters of the Dragon Bone Wilderness!

As for why the Fate Witch lineage possessed the Dragon Bone Altar, from the information stored by the Witch Council, it seemed to be somewhat related to the ancient Witch King. However, the more specific details were no longer known due to the change of years and the lack of history books.

Therefore, in a fit of rage, Morgana had paid no attention to the various forbidden rules left behind from the ancient era and barged into the Dragon Bone Wilderness with a devastating attitude.

Seemingly sensing a strong sense of killing, the grievous souls, demons and monsters entrenched in the wilderness rushed towards the striding Morgana in a fearless manner.

With the sinking of the Tower of Destiny, the strength of this group of wilderness ferocious beasts had diminished greatly, however, the instruction to remain within their soul brand to guard the tower was still there. Thus, even though they knew that they were no match for this rank 3 witch, the wilderness ferocious beasts and demons still fought their way into the blizzard.

With their feeble strength of no more than 1st rank, before they could even reach a hundred meters in front of Morgana, they froze into a grotesque ice sculpture amidst a cold wind that quietly blew by. As Morgana strode forward, she left behind her an ice and snow avenue that was over a thousand meters wide. On both sides of the road, there was a crystal clear, strange ice sculpture with different postures.

The layer of snow on the surface of the ice sculptures was wiped away, and through the half-meter-thick transparent ice crystals, one could clearly see the faces of the fierce beasts inside, staring with eyebrows and spouting blood.

Unfortunately, at this moment, they have all lost their lives and become the new wandering spirits on the keeled wilderness.

Along the way, a distance of hundreds of miles, there were not even any ferocious beasts or demons that were able to charge in front of Morgana, so naturally, it would be difficult to stop her advance.

However, as the vast ice storm approached the Destiny Tower, the huge snowstorm that originally covered a range of about two miles immediately became a small whirlpool of air in front of the sky-high and towering Destiny Tower, no longer having its previous majesty and terror.

Morgana stood proudly in front of the fate tower, allowing the crazy whirling blizzard to continuously smack the gray and dull tower, with a majestic and magnificent huge roar roar: "Alice, you come out?"

The sound was so loud and majestic that it shook the nearby wilderness, and even a group of grieving souls flew up above the tower, circling around the tower and ghostly whistling.

Silently, a bizarre humanoid shape emerged a hundred meters in front of Morgana that was purely made up of light and shadow. As the light and shadow shifted, it gradually turned into Alice's appearance.

"Lord Morgana, I never expected you to personally come to my Destiny Tower, welcome!"

Morgana's hands were divided, and the storm coiled in front of her was oddly parted to the sides, revealing her tall, sturdy posture.

"Alice, don't play dumb with me, how are you going to end this war?" Seeing Alice, who looked calm and composed, the anger in Morgana's heart grew a little more, and her tone was naturally fiery.

"That seems to depend on your attitude!" Alice still smiled lightly, "The Winter Witch originally had no essential conflict with us Fate Witches, this is purely a battle of wills. As long as this anger of yours, my lord, subsides, the war can end at any time!"

"Hmph, that's easy for you to say. But who's going to make up for the losses we Winter Witches have endured over the past month or so?"

"Lord Mogane, war between witches is what it is. If you want to start a war, you will have to suffer the consequences of the war backfiring. In the previous battle, I did my best to suppress the unnecessary killing, otherwise..."

"When you say that..." and Morgaine narrowed her eyes, her milky pupils seeming to breed a wild ice storm, "it means that my men can't beat your men? "

This time, for some reason, Alice, who had always had a soft body, didn't even back down.

"Isn't that the truth, Lord Mogane?"

Morgana's anger grew even more fierce, even as the ice storm that circled and whirled and flew.

"I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you..."

"Lord Morgana, don't forget that all of our witch factions are strictly forbidden from killing within, and especially never allow chieftain-level witches to engage in war. Anyone who violates this will be severely punished by the Council of Witches! What? You want to challenge this rule?"

"I haven't forgotten...but don't forget, Alice, that our two families are at war, and if I were to challenge you to a faction now, would you be able to refuse?"

Alice's eyes couldn't help but narrow, and there was a gleam of a condition in them.

"I can't refuse!"

"Well, I'm glad you understand!" Morgana snorted, "I'm not willing to bully you as a 3rd rank witch as well as a small 2nd rank witch. So, you just need to voluntarily admit defeat and hand over your captive Winter Witch, I..."

"I accept your challenge!"

"...can be put to rest and let you continue...what? What did you say?" Morgana was only in the middle of her sentence when Alice interrupted her, her whole body looking appalled.

"I said, I accept your challenge!" Alice was squarely in the middle of a word.

"You understand what you're doing, don't you?" Morgana's milky white pupils were chilling, and her entire body exuded a vicious and devouring ferocity.

"I accepted your faction's challenge only!" Alice became relaxed once again, "But you're a 3rd rank and I'm a 2nd rank, do you mind if I bring a few of my men with me?"

"Who do you want to take with you?"

"Don't worry, I won't break the witch's rules and bring those 3rd rank dragons with me. I'll only bring 4 of my men, all rank 2. No problem, right?"

"No...no problem!" Somehow, being caught off guard by Alice's army of rebels took Morgana by surprise, making her stammer and stammer and not even know how she should react.

A 2nd rank witch leader daring to take the initiative to accept a challenge from a 3rd rank witch leader, even if she brought along a few of her 2nd rank underlings, would not be a match for her! Faced with such a treacherous situation, Morgana was a bit confused.

The challenge was clearly issued by herself, so why was the other party acting more aggressive than she was.

Was this... was there a deception within?

But Alice had made it clear that she wouldn't be bringing any 3rd order creatures with her, so how was she going to fight back against the odds?

She didn't think she could put down a 3rd level witch who was a faction leader by relying on four or five 2nd levels, did she?

Does this Alice also have a huge number of 2nd class elemental puppets?

It had to be said that Grim had felled a 3rd rank veteran sorcerer with a 2nd rank body in the Scattered Tallinn region, and such amazing news had spread throughout the Wizard Continent. Even Morgana, who was in the Northern Lands, had heard about it slightly.

But a victory like that had too many prerequisites!

First, it has to be a small venue like a dueling arena.

If there was no such restriction, any Level 3 Sorcerer would have the initiative to withdraw from the battlefield at any time when the battle was unfavorable, so how could they be tormented to death by the enemy's despicable human tactics.

Secondly, there were very few perverts like Grim who had such a number of elemental puppets in their hands.

If it wasn't for the fact that he had an astonishing number of 2nd stage elemental puppets in his hands and wasn't at all stingy with their sacrifices, how could he have forced a 3rd stage veteran sorcerer into such a predicament.

Of course, the more decisive battle advantage was that Grim's Fire Hiding Technique.

If it wasn't for the fact that he possessed such an unorthodox flame concealment ability that the 3rd rank wizard was never able to find his true form, how could he have dragged out the battle for such a long and rocky period of time.

It was this one, one unexpected factor that was so many that made that 3rd rank Sorcerer hate Grim's despicable methods!

However, the battlefield that Morgana chose at this time was the vast and incomparable space in front of the Tower of Fate, there was no possibility that she would be blocked and besieged by the other side. Moreover, unlike that suicidal raven, Morgana possessed a large number of group attacks and ranged Ice Sorcery, and wasn't afraid of a large number of enemies.

So, after a quick thought, Morgana nodded her head and agreed to the challenge!
