Age of Adepts

The Wraith Congenas has won!

This could be heard from the long dragon roar that was filled with despair and grief and anger before the old dragon's death.

After going through several rounds of siege by the strong team, and being completely unsuspecting by Grim to take a hard hit. Even though the old dragon was so powerful that it was far stronger than an ordinary 4th rank and had already slightly touched the horns of the super strong, under such circumstances, it was still no match for the Kangonas who had shed a huge amount of blood, and was directly swallowed up by the sea of undead released by the witch demon.

There were so many terrifyingly powerful demons and monsters in the world, but why the Witch Demon's fierce name was at the forefront was due to their shameless tactics of the Sea of Skulls. Coupled with the fact that Witch Demon Heaven was good at playing with souls, dying in their hands didn't mean the end of suffering.

On the contrary, death at the hands of the Witch Demons was the true beginning of a long and painful life!

Their souls and bodies will not be wasted and will be used effectively by the Wraith to become one of its many puppet-like bowing servants. And this enslavement was open-ended, as well as free and dignified.

This also meant that by dying at the hands of the Wraiths, their souls and bodies would fall into darkness forever. They would languish in endless despair and pain, living a horrible life of begging for life and death!

The Witch Demon would not let them go without draining the last shred of use value from their bodies and souls.

And this Nax who had voluntarily transformed itself into an undead was simply a huge treasure trove for the Witch Demon. In addition to contributing a Tier 5 artifact to the Witch Demon, its body and soul were also top-grade materials for creating high-tier undead creatures.

It could be imagined that in the near future, Witch Demon Kanganus would definitely have another powerful Ice Bone Dragon under his command. With such a right-hand man, it would instantly allow the Witch Demon to advance into the ranks of the super-powerful.

By then, with the fusion of the Ancient Harsh Winter Casket, I'm afraid that Witch Kangonas' path to advance to the 5th level would be smooth!

...................

With the disappearance of Nax's soul breath, the Temple of Ice couldn't help but begin to shake violently.

This magnificent temple, which was supported by the power of the artifact, began to tremble incessantly, and ice and debris continued to fall from the stone walls and the high dome downwards. The ice crystal mists that permeated it also lost their restraining power and began to slowly dissipate.

Finally, another full quarter of an hour passed.

The mist parted, and the Witch Demon Kanganus emerged from it in ragged clothes.

Although its body was too broken to look at directly, and its spirit had weakened to the point that it was throbbing, the Witch Kanganus still had a look of joy on its jade-white clean crystal skull.

It could be imagined that its harvest inside must have been so great that it was unimaginable to normal people. Just the artifact and the bone dragon alone could make it eat a belly full and bring it home packed.

The jubilant Witch Demon and the Sand King, Snake Girl, and Star Spirit waiting outside immediately made a stark contrast. The latter three were all gloomy and depressed, obviously unhappy that Grim had overpowered them and prevented them from participating in the final battle.

It was not easy to team up to this sinister alien plane and severely injure that sinister and terrifying old dragon. If the members of the team had banded together to kill the old dragon, perhaps they would have been able to justifiably demand a 'fair' share of the old dragon's treasure.

But now...with the final battle being wrapped up by the Witch Demon alone, their individual gains in the next part of the booty sharing would definitely be greatly affected.

With this factor in place, it was no wonder that several people had some resentment and anger in their eyes when they had a look at the Witch and Grim.

Kangenas was also an old and shrewd fellow, who picked his eyebrows and immediately came forward to state his position.

"The door to Nax's treasury has been opened by me! With the exception of the Casket of Severe Winter, I have taken only my fair share, while the rest of the treasures remain the same. You guys are rushing there now, so you can just as well divide them all equally. This is also a reward for your participation in this operation!"

Hearing this, the Sand King and the Serpent Girl finally showed joy on their faces and immediately rushed into the crumbling temple like a flying arrow. The Starling Tulas stood frozen for a moment, had a glance at the Witch Demon and Grim, and finally rushed over without a word.

When the three had left, only then did the Witch Kangonas turn to Grim.

And Grim looked unmoving, not getting up to 'grab' the treasure in the slightest.

"You're strange!" The witch demon Kangenas exclaimed, "You are one of the most unpredictable wizards I have ever met. Sometimes I can't really figure out what you want..."

Instead of answering its question, Grim raised his eyes to the depths of the mist and furrowed his brow, "What did you lure them into the depths of the mist for? Trying to wipe them all out?"

Connors jade white and clean, without half a trace of skin or flesh on his crystal cheeks revealed a cold smile, and his jawbone fluttered slightly, "If it was put in the past, with my nature, I would have had to kill these fools together..."

"So now what?" Grim smiled melodramatically.

"It's certainly different now. Having gotten everything I wanted, I already have the confidence to take another step forward. Leave these fools behind and there might be opportunities to use them in the future!" At this point, the Witch Scarlet Soulfire turned on Grim, "As for Your Excellency... the agreement between us is still valid. For the next two hundred years from now, I am willing to ally with Your Excellency and become a member of your family..."

At their level, although they couldn't say that their words followed the law, every word spoken and oath issued also had all sorts of strange power, capable of triggering the strange resonance of the power of the laws.

So even without the aid of any magical contract, when the Witch Demon Kangenas solemnly spoke these words, the atmosphere of law was pervasive in the void, and an ancient and obscure line of fate had already connected him and Grim tightly together.

Without either party refusing, the strange lines representing the karmic power of fate separately didn't enter their bodies, slowly merging into their souls.

Such an oath contract had no mandatory punishments, but was instead tied to the strength of both parties' mental strength. If the Witch Demon's spirit power completely overpowered Grim, even if they broke the contract, it would be fine.

But to have Grim's spirit power far higher than it, and it broke the contract, the price it needed to pay would also rise.

For something like this that involved the origin of the soul, no high-ranking creature would take it lightly!

After the pact was established, Grim and the Wraith immediately became a bit closer.

Although it wasn't up to the level of intimacy, at least they were no longer always on the lookout for sneak attacks like the others were.

"You've done me such a great favor, so keep this!" The Witch Demon Kangenas raised his hand and threw over a cloud of strange hearts the size of a millstone.

As soon as the heart was revealed, the fog around it immediately condensed into fine pieces of ice and began to puff down. A piercing coldness spread everywhere, causing every guy who felt its scent to freeze his blood and stiffen his body.

"Nax's heart?!" Grim almost cried out in surprise.

This gigantic heart sealed inside the thick ice crystal was still pulsing slightly, still maintaining a strong and full of vitality. And its overflowing breath of life was clearly just like that cold ice bone dragon Nax.

"Jie Jie Jie... I never thought that old dragon was still attached to his past body. It went so far as to dig out the dragon's heart and seal it in the ice before transforming itself." The Witch Demon's upper and lower jawbones gently clashed, making a clear and pleasant sound, "It seems that it intends to survive the soul transformation before trying to regain its flesh and blood dragon body. Only now... Jie Jie, these have all become our spoils of war!"

Grim weighed the huge heart in one hand, and used the chip to scan the life activity and energy strength inside, nodding in satisfaction and casually slipped it into the Elder Power Ring.

At their level, apart from high level witchcraft, ordinary equipment was no longer usable at all. In the past, even if they wore those low-grade equipment on their bodies, it would be difficult to increase their power by a fraction.

And when a battle was fought, the power of powerful laws filled the entire body. These low-grade equipment, not to mention attacking the enemy, would not even be able to withstand the flames mixed with the power of the Laws themselves, and would be incinerated directly into ashes.

Thus, except for the witchcraft equipment suitable for their tier, the rest of the low-tier treasures placed on them were pure waste.

This Ice Dragon's Heart was a good Tier 4 material in every way, and whether it was made into a witchcraft weapon or a disposable sorcery item, its power would definitely not be small.

To the 'goodwill' expressed by the Witch Demon, Grim naturally smiled without hesitation!

"What about this bit?" Grim looked up at Congenas.

"The biological resources and bit environment here have been severely distorted by the Box of Harsh Winter, and it will be hard to restore it to its original state. Leave it behind if you're interested, I don't think those three guys would dare to steal it from you!" The witch demon couldn't help but suggest.

With that, it casually pulled open a dense, small interdimensional portal.

And before it left, it threw down another sentence.

"I will keep my promise! I'll return to the Skeleton Plane for a rest and recuperation, which will take about two or three years. When the situation stabilizes, I will definitely visit Your Excellency in person. See you then!"

"See you then!"

After the Witch Demon Kanganus got into the portal, white light exploded and the space bridged up slowly.

With such a heavy treasure on its person, it naturally didn't dare to travel as long as it had come. So rather than expending more energy and resources, it would rather teleport back directly to avoid encountering anything untoward halfway.

From this, one could also see how cautious and cunning a creature like the Witch Demon was!
