Age of Adepts

"Let me go..."

"Grim, Holly, Qiu Lisa... don't you forget that I entered the Morian Plane with you. If I die here, when I go back, the Clan Chief will definitely be done with you..."

"If you don't want to be haunted by a bunch of dark witches every day, you'll be good enough to set me free!"

"I give up on this one mission! I promise, I'll never bother you again..."

The Witches of the North are worthy of being a special group of witches who are strong and tyrannical in the North alone. Even though it was a life or death situation at this point, this Shani's tone was still not soft, and she even spoke in a threatening manner, having the momentum of continuing to confront each other if they didn't agree.

"How about... forcing her to take the origin oath and then releasing her?" Hew Lisa hesitated.

Although taking in Grim's majesty, the siblings had to participate in the battle to surround and annihilate Shani. But when it came to the crucial moment where the life and death of Shani was really decided now, they still maintained their past cautious personalities.

It couldn't be helped that the siblings weren't exactly core figures in the Sorcerer's Association, and were even once ostracized by the upper echelons of the association, otherwise they wouldn't have been placed into this extremely dangerous and alien battlefield.

Thus, when they thought of the renowned Northern Darkness Witch, they were a little bit more timid inside.

"Hmph, in my opinion, let's just blast her body once more and let her go back naked to revive! This way, she'll have at least another half a month or so of weakness and won't be able to interfere with our operation this time..." the Holly Witch cursed through gritted teeth.

His words were harsh enough, but he obviously didn't dare to offend the Dark Witches too much.

Since time immemorial, the Witches of the North had been the most protective and cuddly of all!

And extraordinarily rude and overbearing!

Offend them bitterly, these dark witches really dare to run one by one without any life to sneak attack and assassinate you... And their dark sorcery one by one plays a slippery game, and there are spirit pools to save their lives, all of them are desperate, whoever encounters such a group of fearless shadow assassins will probably have a headache.

"Jie Jie Jie... I'm glad you guys know! Before returning to the world of witches, I promise..." It seemed that she sensed the two witches' lustful inner strife, although Shani was imprisoned by the dark hand and could hardly move, she was still wild.

However, before she could finish her sentence, the dark hand that Grim used the Shadow Jewel to create had already Ugwu closed, and crushed her re-consolidated body into a spreading blood and flesh paste.

Shani's words came to an abrupt halt.

Even Holly and Qiu Lisa, who were watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but see their eyebrows jump and a look of both relief and worry spring up in their eyes.

But that wasn't all!

Grim played with the Shadow Jewel in his hands and waved it at the splattered flesh and blood in the sky, and countless shadows appeared out of thin air, eroding all the flesh and blood away quickly.

And when Grim's large hand closed, the Shadow Jewel lit up with a dark and deep black light, and swirled out from it to poke out countless black chains that danced in the wind, as if they were arrows piercing into the surrounding emptiness.

For no reason, a miserable scream suddenly emerged from the void, the sound of which was quite familiar.

A moment later, the black chain slowly retracted, dragging out from the depths of the void an imaginary shadow of a soul that was bound and unable to move. Looking at the appearance and form, it was the dark witch Shani who had lost her body once again.

If last time, Shani was just generally afraid, then this time, she was truly fearful!

The reason the dark witches were so fearless was the strange darkness reanimation.

Even if they were killed many times, their souls would be able to escape back to the pre-set pool of spiritual energy through a special means, and after ten days and half a month of recuperation, they would be able to solidify a new body again.

It was this occupational characteristic of not being able to fight to death that made them the toughest branch of the Northland Witches!

This time, however, before the soul that Shani escaped from returned to the Spiritual Energy Pool, Grim dragged her back to life again with the strange characteristics of the Shadow Jewel. If anything else happened to this soul, she could be truly dead, never to be reborn again.

Thus, form was stronger than man!

There was no way she could keep her head down at this point in the situation.

However, just as Shani's soul trembled, desperately wanting to bargain with Grim, Grim pursed his lips and blew, a transparent golden flame gently blowing on Shani's soul, instantly turning it into speckled soul ashes, eventually completely melting into the void.

A miserable soul howl turned into a throaty aftermath, always haunting the ears of several people....

Holly and the Mangus siblings' eyes were instantly huge and they clenched their teeth tightly to keep from screaming out.

They were truly filled with shock, even with a bit of fear and trepidation.

This... was a genuine 4th rank dark witch!

You're just going to kill him?

One must know that in the central part of the continent, in the scattered area of Tallinn, any 4th rank could be a strong ruler, and one person could support a large human country and a large wizard family that had lasted for thousands of years.

Among the three major powers, though, the regulation of 4th rank witches was stricter. But in all good conscience, every 4th rank was the most valuable property of their power, and no one was willing to consume them like cannon fodder.

But now....

Right in front of their eyes....

A dark witch who possessed 4th stage intermediate strength and was renowned even in the North where strong people gathered, was killed like a slaughtered chicken and dog, and even the last trace of her soul mark was completely obliterated.

How great was the mental shock brought to the two witches by this extreme psychological impact?

At the very least, the Holly Witch, who had deeply hated this Shani a moment before, all blanched and inexplicably felt a hare's death in his heart!

And once again, the two of them looked at Grim with a hint of awe and shrinking in their eyes.

"Don't worry... "Grim smiled heedlessly, "Since they chose to send Shani to run to this otherworldly plane to kill me, in order to avoid being prophesied or perceived. So when we go back, we just need to unify our tone and bite the fact that Shani fell and died while fighting the otherworldly creatures, those dark witches are separated by a dimension, it is impossible for them to detect the truth or falsity of our words."

Seeing that the two men's faces were still pale, Grim continued to encourage, "Besides, this Morionian Plane is about to face a great destruction, and everything that happened here will return to chaos as the Plane's consciousness collapses. Are you still worried that some prophecy powerhouse will cross the plane and come here to find out why Shani truly died? At that time, I'm afraid that even this bit won't exist..."

Hearing this, the two witches' faces only improved a little.

Of course, these were just their self-deceptions!

With those dark witches' brutal bullying style, I'm afraid that the moment they sensed Shani's death, they wouldn't easily let go of their companions. Only now that the people had been killed, could it be that the two of them still expected Grim to come out alone to carry this matter?

Moreover, this was a different world, and one of them was weak and the other was badly injured, if they really provoked Grim to kill someone, I'm afraid....

Perhaps all of them realized this, the Holly Witch and the Mangus siblings blossomed into smiles almost simultaneously and began to scold Shani's despicableness with a single gnash of their teeth. Judging from their gnashing of teeth, it seemed that if Shani appeared before their eyes, they would also skin her and bruise her bones again.

Only, what their private little thoughts were really thinking, no one could tell!

"Since none of you have any objections, let the matter be done! Let's say that Shani fell during the battle with the Calamity Lord Evil Hoof. By the way, why do I look so familiar with all this equipment that Shani left behind, it should be all of Holly Witch's! In that case, you can reclaim it!"

Looking at the equipment left all over the floor after Shani's frustration, the Holly Wizard bitterly took it back one by one.

Although the equipment was all his, but... at this moment, he really couldn't be happy!

After dealing with Shani, Grim looked around the library and sighed inwardly.

Although the battle of a few people just now was short and not large enough, it still brought a devastating blow to this library.

The entire interior of the Hall of Knowledge seemed to have been ravaged by a grade 10 typhoon, all the bookshelves, wooden tables and chairs had been tossed to the ground, and the books that had once been protected by the arcane rune array had now lost their arcane aura, and had been eroded into shattered dust by the wild outbreak of darkness.

This place had already been devastated, and there was little point in searching for convergence here anymore.

Boom....

Suddenly, there was a loud bang from above the hall, and the ceiling puffed down with a large amount of floating dust and debris.

"Ah... Frilla, you slut... don't you dare to fight me just because of the addition of the arcane barrier... you dare to injure my body... you wait, until my original body projects its power over, I'll swallow you in one bite..."

From the void came the strange hissing noises of the Evil Hoof, the sound was so sharp and high-pitched that it simply pierced one's eardrums.

By the sound of the words, it seemed that the Evil Hoof had suffered a bit of a sluggish loss at the hands of that 5 Ring Grand Arcane Master!

"Come on, let's go check it out too, maybe we can pick up some bargains!" Grim smiled heedlessly, a cold ray of light in his eyes.

"Grim... my lord, you see... the seed of darkness in me?" Holly hesitated for a moment, finally taking a completely straight stance.

"What's the need to panic... This seed of darkness is still in a latent state, it won't affect you too much. And I haven't comprehended the power of the Shadow Jewel yet, it's still a bit troublesome to dispel the Seed of Darkness in the short term. Don't worry, in a few days, when I figure out what it's used for, removing the Seed of Darkness for you will only be a handful..."

With that, Grim walked out of the library on horseback.

The Mangus siblings, on the other hand, followed close behind.

The Holly Wizard was frozen in place for a moment, his face colorful and shifting. Then, with a shiver of excitement, he realized that the two were already far away and left in a panic along with them.
