Age of Adepts

Looking at Mary, who was as alluring and delicate as a flower in full bloom, Clara's eyes flashed with a jealous and resentful look.

A strange little monkey crawled out of her cuffs and crouched on her shoulder, staring fiercely at Mary with blood-red eyes. Her own body, however, glowed with light, and one witchcraft aura after another was instantly added to its fullness.

Mary, the Queen of Blood on the other side, was a fearsome killer known for her agility, and even Clara had to be on guard for a second at such a close distance.

"Mary, are you planning to challenge me by appearing here?" Clara was furious and hateful.

"How dare I..." said Mary softly in a sweet, deadly soft voice, "You're the 'old man' in the 4th rank of witches! You'll have to go to that Grim guy if you want to fight, and I don't care about that shit."

"Then why are you stopping me?"

"One of my men is dead, so of course I'll have to come to you to find a replacement. If that Mona under you doesn't die, I'll have to suffocate this time!"

"Get out of my way...this is my territory and you have no right to stop me!"

"Hey, Clara-sama, you're really planning to save that Mona! All right, go ahead..." With that, Mary made her way out of the way and stepped aside to stand with her hands tied as if she would not interfere any further.

Unfortunately, her momentum was firmly locked on the Clara witch and she didn't let up at all.

"You..." the Clara Witch was furious, and after a few hesitations, she still didn't dare to pass through the path that Mary had given way to.

The two sides were both rank 4 witches, although Clara had lived a few hundred years longer than Mary and had more experience in fighting and sinister attack methods. But in the same class, she still didn't have the certainty of a sure thing.

After gritting her teeth for half a day, Clara sighed and turned around to fly back to the far side of the Witch Tower again.

A moment later, the Witch Tower glowed brightly, and it was clear that that Clara witch had teleported away once again.

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

Rhine City.

Denel Family Territory, Berkeley Row Province.

Compared to Musta City, it was a full 200 miles away from the location where Marilyn Mona was intercepted.

In the middle of the night, the tall witch tower in the central part of the city suddenly lit up with a dazzling glow, and violent and ferocious energy tides lingered outside the tower, creating a beautiful dazzle similar to an aurora borealis style.

Its dazzling brilliance was still clearly visible even though it was dozens of miles apart.

A moment later, a black shadow flew out from the upper floors of the Witch Tower and streaked off somewhere in the distance.

However, before Clara could fly out of the city's range, a resonant dragon's roar rolled in from the distance, and then a terrifying figure harnessing violent thunder appeared in front of her.

The smooth and graceful lines of the body, the azure blue dragon body that held the rolling thunder, the pale blue tough dragon scales that shone with an oily glow, the slightly jagged but strong and rigid sharp dragon claws....

Honestly, when a fearsome dragon with claws and teeth is standing in front of you, staring at you with its unique amber pupils, anyone would be on edge and their morale would be gone!

"4th order...brontosaurus...amus..." the Clara witch practically gritted her teeth in a way that made the The name was pronounced.

Of course, behind that name, she had attached an innumerable number of vicious curses to her insides....

"Human wizard, the road here is impassable, you'd better find another way!" This was the first time that Leilong Ams had appeared in the wizard world after advancing to rank 4. Facing the 4th level witch in front of him, Thunder Dragon Ames appeared endlessly easy and relaxed, and the abundant dragon power sprinkled down everywhere, disturbing the humans in the entire city.

Without question, without nonsense, Clara turned around and walked away, directly returning to the family witch tower.

A moment later, the Witch Tower's tower glowed with light, and Clara apparently teleported away once again.

And this time, the location she chose to teleport to was the Family Witch Tower on Kerry Island.

This was a first-tier resource point for the Denel family, and not many outsiders knew about it due to the witchcraft ban that had been placed outside.

Of course, Clara Witch didn't choose to teleport here before because it was even further away from the rescue point, more than 400 miles away. But now it seemed that several of the witch towers near the rescue point had been blocked by the Crimson Family's high ranking, so she would have to teleport here and then fly all the way over without any difficulty.

The good news was that over 400 miles was not that far for her, a 4th rank witch.

However, what she didn't expect was that as soon as she flew out of the Resource Point's Guardian Witch Formation, a thick, inky black fog exploded in front of her eyes with a bang, appropriately blocking her path.

Clara Witch's spirit extended to the edge of the black fog and was blocked back, which fully revealed the strange and frightening nature of the fog. If she really had to fight in such an environment, it was feared that her hearing, sight, smell, and mental perception would have to be weakened to a minimum.

This was undoubtedly terrifying for a sorcerer!

"Shadow Demon... "Clara stared at the black mist in front of her with a father-killing hatred, hesitating even before making a hard push forward.

In the past, she would have never known what she was encountering. But now, as information from all sides converged, she also had some initial understanding of that Crimson Family, that enigmatic legendary fire witch.

This... could be the personal guard that that legendary fire witch had created, Shadow Demon!

The Shadow Puppet, a strange creation that combines the advantages of both metal puppets and shadow creatures, may not be the strongest in terms of attack and defense, but it is unique in being difficult to deal with.

Plus, that legendary fire witch was so generous that she had even equipped such a shadow puppet with multiple 4th-grade Shadow System equipment. This... this was simply a dirt-cheap, extravagantly sadistic mess!

You know, the entire middle of the continent was still not even equipped with a plurality of 4th stage witches, and the other party had even armed one of the shadow puppets around them with 4th stage equipment.

This is really, people are infuriating!

Of course, compared to such a shadow puppet that didn't have much intelligence and only knew how to attack and defend rigidly, the Clara Witch thought that she still had a good chance of winning.

But fighting a Shadow Puppet without a head at this moment when she was rushing to the rescue... it seemed a bit untimely!

The Clara Witch was still reluctant to turn around and still wanted to keep trying.

But halfway through her turn, a crisp frog chirped in her arms.

Clara's body stiffened, and she hesitated for a moment before pulling out a mysterious wooden tablet. As soon as the sorcery power surged in, a tiny humanoid figure appeared above the wooden sign, which looked like it belonged to that mind warlock Marilyn Mona.

Only her eyes were dull and bleeding, and her entire body gradually turned into fireflies, crumbling away in front of the Clara Witch.

Marilyn Mona was dead!

Mona belonged to the core members of the Denel family, and her soul brand was naturally in the hands of the Clara Witch. Now that even the soul brand it left behind had crumbled, the other party's fate could be imagined!

Shattered Face Gallo lost his hopes of advancing, and Marilyn Mona died under the siege of the Crimson Family... Even with a 3rd rank Crimson Sorcerer to accompany her, the war was still a losing one for Clara.

And, as the war continued, the blood of the Denel family would continue to flow....

It was unbearably great torture for her, the head of the family!

Although the Denel family would receive support and help from several other 4th-rank forces, either explicitly or implicitly. But what kind of support and help could offset the fall of two 3rd rank elites?

At this moment, the Clara Witch really regretted it completely....

She should never have listened to the promises of those gutless bastards, and she should never have taken the initiative to lead the charge and put her Denele family on the front lines of a dangerous war.

The Clara witch who had turned to leave Ug turned around and shouted harshly into the black mist, "Grim, I know you can hear me. In three days, I will meet you in the Shattered Canyon and settle this dispute face to face!"

With that, she rushed into the resource point without looking back, never to be seen again.

After a long time, a tall metallic body slowly emerged from the depths of the black mist, its eyes staring at the place where the witch had disappeared, and after a moment's thought, it finally shook its head helplessly and turned around and disappeared.

At the same moment, somewhere in the sky far away, ten thousand miles away, a floating giant ship was hovering above.

After giving the order for Shadow Demon to withdraw, Grim broke off his mental connection with the far side and returned to ask, "How is the current battle going? What forces are involved...you should have investigated all of them, right?"

And it was Gargamel, Meryl, Emelia, Xuef, and Winelier who sat at the bottom of his head and a handful of others.

Looking at each other, it was Meryl who took the initiative to stand up and reply, "Teacher, we've investigated, and although there were no official witches from other forces in the previous battle, they sent a significant number of witch troops."

"Oh? Which ones?"

"The White Ghost Force of the Entom Family appeared during the Gravel Canyon Offensive, and the Swamp Flying Dragon Force of the Bantam Family was discovered during the attack on Rocky Mountain City, in addition to the Cloud Giant Force of the Gaia Family, the Ghost Legion of the Annemdor Academy, and the Stone Dragon Force of the Fabres Family..."

The main messenger behind the Entom Family was naturally that Elder Nicholas, behind the Bantam Family was Elder Matthew, and behind the Gaia Family was that most powerful Golden Titan bloodline possessor. As for the Annemado Academy, it was the forbidden domain of the Vice President, Milva.

It was unthinkable that an 'ordinary' witch war would loomingly involve so many 4th rank old men.

Grim smirked heedlessly, a thoughtful look appearing on his face.
