Inside Goblin Kaby's room.
()
In the corner of the room, a large group of black beetles was wriggling around. Their huge numbers formed the outline of a human figure.
After the tower fell silent, the black swarm suddenly exploded with a bang, and Alice came out of it in a sorry state.
She casually brushed off the remaining beetles on her shoulder, lapel, and long hair. She pinched her nose and stomped a few of them to death with a look of disgust. After that, she closed her eyes and sensed the situation inside the tower.
At this moment, the inside of the tower was empty. She could no longer sense any signs of life. All the wizard apprentices on the second floor and above had disappeared without a trace. Only the young wizard apprentices on the first floor were quietly lying on their wooden beds. They were no longer breathing.
It was obvious that Wizard Anderson had cut off all means of retreat. He did not want to leave any way out for himself.
If he could not use the blood sacrifice ceremony to successfully become a rank 2 wizard by this time tomorrow, he would not be able to escape the punishment of the Sarubo family. According to the agreement of the scattered Tower Forest Wizard Association, those who relied on blood sacrifice to increase their strength would be severely punished.
If he could successfully become a rank 2 wizard and was willing to continue serving the family, then the Sarubo family would be more than happy to help him hide the situation in the magic swamp. They could casually come up with a reason like a monster riot or a leaked witchcraft experiment, and everything that happened here would be wiped clean.
Therefore, although Wizard Anderson was full of confidence and looked like he had everything under control, if he failed to level up, the only ending that awaited him would be to sign a life contract with the Sarubo family and give up all his rights as a wizard. He would have to work hard for the Sarubo family for the rest of his life!
As for killing him? Hmph, no wizard family would waste such precious resources!
Even if he was alone!
Alice floated in the empty corridor. Behind her were black beetles that were as dense as the tide. Their destination was the control hall on the fifth floor of the swamp tower.
Even though Wizard Anderson had already teleported all the apprentices to that mysterious secret magic room, this uncontrolled tower was still following the mechanism he had set up. While it was sealing itself, it was still continuously sending powerful elemental energy to that secret place.
If they didn't find a way to cut off the connection between Wizard Anderson and this tower, Grim's faction would have to face a powerful Wizard with endless elemental energy. Against such an opponent, even if they were all tied up together, they would not be able to withstand a single attack from the enemy.
Passing through the secluded corridor and climbing up the narrow and steep stone stairs, Alice soon arrived at the junction between the fourth and fifth floors. There was a translucent energy membrane in front of them, and any movement that touched it would trigger the tower's defense mechanism to counterattack.
Although they had lost the control of the Sorcerer stationed in the tower, once the hidden strength of a Sorcerer Tower was revealed, it was still not something that ordinary Sorcerer-Apprentices could contend with.
Alice gritted her teeth and plunged into the energy film without looking back.
Behind her, the swarm of black beetles also swarmed in, filling up the entire spiral stone stairs in an instant.
As soon as Alice stepped into the corridor of the fifth floor, the usually empty corridor suddenly became gloomy and scary. The stone walls on both sides suddenly turned into a sticky and tough membrane, constantly bulging outwards one after another, as if there were countless monsters struggling to break out of it.
The stone walls that had become as thin as cicada wings began to show the heads of terrifying monsters one after another. They struggled while roaring at Alice with all their might.
On the other side of the corridor, two crisp popping sounds could be heard. On both sides, a monster had broken free from the stone walls, and its juices splashed onto the cold gray floor. The appearance of these two monsters was like a signal. In the next few seconds, popping sounds could be heard, and one monster after another broke free from the stone walls. In an instant, they had filled up the corridor in front of them.
Wizard beasts!
They were all wizard beasts!
These were all terrifying beasts that the wizard stationed in the tower had modified using witchcraft. Each of them had the strength of an advanced wizard apprentice, and there were many of them. Even if Alice was a Prospective Sorcerer, she would still be killed by them if they swarmed her at the same time.
Alice's face was pale, but she did not dare to hesitate. She screamed and rushed forward.
Her side was indeed having a hard time, but Grim's side was probably ten times, no, a hundred times worse! Instead of facing the terrifying wizard Anderson who had revealed all his fangs and claws, Alice would rather fight with the wizard beasts that were a hundred times stronger than her here.
Two thick dimensional blades opened up a path, and in an instant, they shot into the dense group of wizard beasts. Along the way, their skin and flesh were lacerated, mucus splattered everywhere … After all, wizard beasts were mutated beasts that had been modified by witchcraft. Although their bodies had been modified to be impenetrable by blades and swords, in the face of the all-conquering and exceptionally sharp Space Slash, they could only howl in pain as their limbs were severed and their heads were separated from their bodies.
However, there were just too many wizard beasts. There were still many wizard beasts that rushed in front of Alice, madly punching and biting the thin dimensional barrier.
Alice endured the discomfort of seeing the ugly, wrinkled, and mucus-covered bodies of the wizard beasts at such a close distance. She clenched her teeth and quickly launched one dimensional blade after another. All the flesh and blood were just a pile of rotten meat in front of Alice's terrifying dimensional cutting spell. It was like a hot knife cutting through a piece of solidified butter. Wherever it passed, it would be cut in half silently.
Alice floated in the air, and all the wizard beasts in front of her were like thrown into a meat grinder. They were broken into pieces, and blood and flesh splattered everywhere. All kinds of broken body parts flew past her eyes. There was even half a wizard beast's head that suddenly flew over, stuck to the dimensional barrier in front of her, and slowly slid down to the ground.
The ground under her feet had completely turned into a slaughterhouse of flesh and blood. Countless broken corpses were lying on the ground, and every one of them had died a miserable death. Purple and green blood splattered all over the entire corridor, and an unknown liquid kept dripping down.
Alice's cute little face was tense, and her eyes were filled with an extremely sharp killing intent. At this terrifying juncture of life and death, she no longer pretended to be cute and harmless, and completely revealed her true black-bellied and ruthless face.
It took Alice a full 15 minutes to walk through the short corridor that was less than 30 meters long. Behind her was a slaughterhouse that no one was willing to take a second look at.
After she used the dimensional ripples to shake off the colorful blood and intestines stuck to the dimensional barrier, as well as the many flesh and blood residues that could not be identified, another long corridor appeared in front of her.
There were many colorful oil paintings hanging on both sides of the corridor. They were either beautiful sceneries or exquisite portraits of people. Unfortunately, without exception, the protagonist of the painting was missing in all of them. In the corridor, groups of hazy and illusory specters and vengeful spirits, as well as distorted and deformed magical plants were wandering and climbing aimlessly.
Without a doubt, Alice's appearance attracted their attention. All the spirits and magical creatures stopped in their tracks and turned their heads to look at Alice. In the dim light, balls of blood-red soul fire and ghostly green light lit up one after another.
Alice's face instantly turned livid.
These bastards all had the strength of a quasi-wizard!
"Grimm, I hate you …"
Alice's angry screams reverberated in the quiet corridor, lingering in the air with hatred!
… …
Inside the secret space.
Wizard Anderson, who was sitting on top of the scary altar, closed his eyes and sensed for a moment. He was slightly surprised.
"I didn't expect you to leave a helper outside. Since Alice is outside, this one must be fake! "
As Anderson pointed with his finger, a black light entered the body of "Alice" who was lying obediently on the ground. After a moment of wriggling, the ugly and short green body of Goblin Cappy appeared in front of him.
"Not bad, not bad at all! You've planned it very well. " Anderson's face darkened, but he did not panic at all. Instead, he showed a regretful expression, "You must have made preparations in advance to be able to set up an ambush outside. And the only way you could obtain this information is … "
As soon as Anderson stopped talking, countless wind chains suddenly extended from the void around the demonic worm Entich, who was standing silently at the edge of the altar, and tightly bound him up.
But even though Anderson's action showed great hostility, the demonic insect Entek did not resist and obeyed Anderson's orders as always.
"It's not him?" Anderson consecutively sent a few runes into the demonic insect Entek's body, but he still did not find anything suspicious. The blood contract between the souls was still as stable as before, without any signs of being touched.
Anderson gave up after thinking hard but to no avail.
"One less quasi-wizard, so be it! Actually, the three of you are enough for me to break through the threshold of a rank 2 Wizard. But I'm curious. Since you could think of arranging people outside, how do you plan to fight against me? You can't possibly think that you can fight against me with just a few quasi-wizards, right? If that's the case, I really have to feel sorry for your childishness! "
Wizard Anderson coldly stared at Grim.
Even though he was tied to the floor by the wind chains, the cold smile on Grim's face did not diminish.
"Even if I become a quasi-wizard, I still can't get rid of my status as a wizard acolyte. I'm indeed not qualified to fight against you! But how many Magi do you want? "
