The walls in front of her were shaking violently.
Hordes of Nightmare Creatures surged through the dim corridor, heading towards the battlefield.
In the shadows above the corridor where they couldn't see, a palm-sized, inconspicuous black shadow was crawling forward slowly and firmly.
The surface of its body was covered in furry hair, and its sharp claws lightly grasped the gaps between the rocks as it silently moved forward while sticking close to the shadows on the ceiling.
The battle outside the castle was still intense, and this could be seen from the trembling walls and the rate at which the Nightmare Creatures were being consumed.
This was the fourth floor of the Nightmare Castle, and the Nightmare Creatures that came out of the secret rooms and tunnels were all at least Grade-3. They were terrifying monsters that could oppress an entire region if they were outside. But here, it was just a consumable in a high-level battle.
Mary was not as strong as Grimm, and she could not fight Kothryn head-on. Therefore, if she was exposed, she would definitely be surrounded by the powerful Grade-3 Nightmare Creatures.
But what surprised Mary was that after sneaking in from the third floor of the castle, her movements were unprecedentedly smooth. Although the castle was filled with a shocking number of Nightmare Creatures and was filled with terrifying magic traps, there seemed to be an invisible God silently guiding her in her mind.
What route to take, where the traps were, when to wait quietly, when to move forward without worry … Under the guidance of the tiny voice, Mary broke through the obstacles and obstacles, bypassing the hidden sentries and traps, and reached the fourth floor of the castle.
And if she did not sense wrongly, the Consciousness Core that rose up and was engaged in a fierce battle with Grimm's soul extended from here.
Mary did not dare to release her Consciousness out of her body, and she did not dare to use her Spiritual Perception to scan her surroundings. She fully utilized the characteristics of her Bat Demon transformation, and she concealed herself along the way. She carefully probed along the way, and finally climbed along the long corridor into a tall and majestic Witchcraft Hall.
This place might have been the core hall of Kothryn Castle. The central platform was densely packed with Crystal Clusters, and a black light ball with a diameter of ten meters floated on top of it. It was connected to the various areas of the castle through a dark and deep magical light belt.
And on the surface of the black ball, there were hundreds of strange magical images, all of which were real-time images from various parts of the Nightmare Castle. Among them, the battle scenes in front of the castle were the most numerous, occupying more than 70% of the magic images.
At this moment, there was a hazy and illusory human figure standing in front of the central platform.
He looked up at the constantly changing image on the black ball, his hands moving as if they were dancing. Under his control, the attacks and defenses of the castle, as well as the circulation of the tremendous life energy, were all so orderly.
Although the humanoid silhouette was illusory, there was an exceptionally bright halo flashing on its chest, faintly emitting the unique soul fluctuations of a living being.
Kathleen's soul core …
Mary was so excited that she wanted to climb over the dome.
But just as she thought about it, that strange voice appeared in her mind.
"Be careful, that figure is a fake … This place is full of witchcraft traps, don't go near it!"
Mary's body trembled slightly and she immediately stopped in her tracks.
She was so far away, and she couldn't take the initiative to sense the other party's soul aura. Thus, it wasn't easy to determine whether he was real or fake.
But along the way, the voice in her mind had helped her a lot, so Mary chose to believe it without hesitation.
"Then what should I do? I don't have much time … "Mary asked in her mind," Alice, if you know what to do, just tell me directly. Don't pretend to be a ghost to deceive me! "
The voice in her mind paused for a moment, and finally replaced the neutral and low voice with Alice's sweet and clear voice.
"Hehe, I'm afraid that you'll hesitate whether I'll harm you or not!"
"Hmph, I don't know whether you'll harm me or not. But I only need to know that you won't harm Grimm. So … I believe you! "Mary said resolutely.
Alice paused for a moment, then sighed and said, "I don't know who will be luckier when you meet Grimm! Ahem, what's next … "
Mary didn't want to think about the complicated psychological changes of the other party. She just closed her eyes and listened to her plan quietly. In front of the powerful Witches of Destiny, no one could keep or hide their secrets.
Even the newly born Kothrin was the same!
As long as she wanted to, there was no secret that she couldn't find out. The only difference was whether she was willing to pay a high price to obtain these secrets.
With Alice as a cheat, Mary, who had transformed into a petite bat, had the help of God. She shuttled through the dense witchcraft traps and psionic threads. Her target was no longer the shadowy figure in the middle of the hall, but a small secret room that was hidden by a tall pillar behind the hall.
The small secret room was only a dozen square meters in size, and the furnishings inside were extremely simple. There was only a table and a chair.
Wizard Freud, who had been missing for a long time, sat silently on the wooden chair. A pitch-black dagger was stuck in his head. His eyes were white, his body was trembling, and his mouth was involuntarily letting out hoarse howls.
Obviously, Kothrin and Freud were still in the midst of an intense soul fusion. If it wasn't for the fact that she wanted to obtain the complete knowledge and memories of Freud's soul, this soul war would have ended long ago.
Mary carefully crawled to the door of the secret room, but she was blocked by a thin energy barrier. Although the barrier was thin, it had an extremely shocking amount of energy. For an assassin like Mary who mainly relied on agility, it was rather difficult for her to break it in one blow.
With it blocking the door, it was impossible for Mary to sneak in without a sound.
Just when Mary was at her wits' end, Alice's voice sounded again.
"Get ready! I've already communicated with Grim. He will launch his most powerful attack in seven seconds. That attack would activate the Nightmare Castle's energy circulation, causing this light membrane to disappear by half a finger. You must make good use of this time. The moment you rush in, use your soul imprint to control him … "
"Understood!"
The connection of thoughts was undoubtedly the fastest. Even the most complicated and tangled thoughts could be communicated hundreds or thousands of times in an instant.
Therefore, when the attack that shook the entire castle arrived, Mary instantly transformed into her human form and took advantage of the moment the barrier dissipated to rush in.
Although her movements were swift, this was Kothrin's Nightmare Weave after all. With the home advantage, the slightest fluctuation of the blood-red energy was detected by Kothrin, who was nearby.
The Witchcraft Hall immediately roared with energy, and a terrifying spiritual pressure pushed over like a small mountain, as though it was going to crush the place into pieces.
In the secret room, Freud's body suddenly trembled, and he instantly suppressed all the fighting. He raised his head, and two balls of dazzling light shone in the depths of his murky yellow eyes.
There wasn't much time left for Mary to react!
For a top-notch powerhouse like her, a single thought in her mind was something that could be done in an instant. Suddenly encountering an enemy was also an essential part of instinctive defense. There was no need to think or hesitate about these things. Almost the moment Mary 'leaked' her aura, the entire Nightmare Castle and Kothrin were ready to launch their counterattack.
The energy barrier that had disappeared for a moment due to the aftermath of the battle affecting the energy transmission appeared once again. It spread out from the wall at the door and quickly closed up towards the center. Perhaps in just half an instant, they would be able to seal the door of the secret room again.
By then, the only way for the invaders to attack Kothrin was to first break this energy barrier.
Unfortunately, half an instant was also time.
To Mary, who had super Agility, the opponent's quick reaction was still a comical slow-motion in her eyes.
A moment ago, she was still at the door of the secret room, and with a bang, blood-red energy filled the air, transforming from a small Bat Demon to a normal human form. In the next moment, Mary's blood-red figure had already passed through the door of the secret room and appeared beside Freud.
Two small tornadoes instantly appeared between the two of them, and they turned into terrifying wind vortexes that wrapped around Mary's body. Pieces of wind blades that were as thin as scales and as fast as knives raged on the surface of Mary's body. Even with the blood-red energy protecting her body, Mary's body still had countless small wounds, as though she had been instantly dismembered.
The wind vortexes were still spreading, and they wanted to block all of Mary's routes of attack.
Freud's idea was very simple. He wanted to use this terrifying spell to force Mary to retreat, and try his best to buy himself some time to react. As long as he bent his finger, no, as long as he bent his finger, he could mobilize the powerful power of the castle's core to protect this body, allowing his core consciousness to smoothly escape to the central crystal.
Of course, this also meant that he would have to give up this high-level grade 4 Wizard soul, and at the same time, it also meant that he would have to give up the chance to break through that terrifying threshold in a short period of time.
Although it was a pity, he did not have the slightest bit of hesitation.
Thus, he was not willing to experience the pain of having his soul controlled by someone else!
Unfortunately, the enemy he faced today, other than the legendary fire wizard who was stirring up trouble outside the castle, there was also a grade 4 Super Agility Blood Wizard. However, the one who really decided his fate was the instigator behind the scenes — the leader of the Fate Witches, Alice!
Mary did not have the slightest intention of retreating or dodging. She actually withstood the terrifying counterattack of the opponent's instant witchcraft, broke through the strangulation of the wind vortexes, and pounced on Freud's body, viciously biting his neck.
At the same time, a strange dazzling light flowed into Freud's body, and actually forcefully kept the newly born Koslin in this body.
"No …"
Freud screamed in shock, and there were obviously two voices in his hoarse roar.
