The passageway in front of her was like a spider's web, extending in all directions. There were corners and intersections everywhere, and on both sides of the stone walls, stone rooms and rooms were constantly seen.
If it was a normal exploration, Alice certainly wouldn't mind moving steadily and steadily, using the method of clearing each area to advance bit by bit towards the core area. But today was obviously different. Everything here was gloomy and strange.
Alice didn't even know the name of the witch she had just killed. But after killing her, Alice inexplicably felt as if she had absorbed some special energy substance. Even her mind and thoughts were faster and sharper than before.
Deep in her heart, she had a feeling that what was in front of her was a killing competition. Whoever killed more weaklings and absorbed more energy substance would be able to occupy a larger space after reaching the core of the tower.
This was originally just a vague intuition!
But to Alice, it was like a clear command.
Hence, out of character, Alice ordered the Inferno Tyrant to make a loud noise as he advanced. He was like a huge bulldozer, knocking down and destroying every building and facility along the way.
As expected, such a huge commotion had indeed attracted the enemy that she had expected.
Just as she turned a corner, she met five apprentice witches who were ready for battle.
Each of them had support spells of different colors floating on their bodies. In their hands, they were holding and storing magic wands and scrolls of different styles. And in front of them were densely packed Stone Puppets, Earth Golems, Razor Boars, Ferocious Wolves, Ironback Eagles, and other summoned creatures or witchcraft puppets.
With such a posture and strange terrain, if ordinary witches encountered them, they might really retreat in the face of difficulties, thus allowing them to survive.
Unfortunately, they encountered Alice … the Inferno Tyrant in front of her.
Facing the lineup in front of him, the Inferno Tyrant was still taking big steps forward. As he advanced, he raised his hands high and pushed forward. A dazzling wall of fire appeared out of thin air and crashed into the enemy's army of summoned creatures.
The line of fire quickly surged past …
With the Inferno Magic Wall's average flame damage of 80 degrees, how could this group of creatures that were only at the Quasi-Sorcerer level and the weakest at the Intermediate level withstand it!
The army of summoned creatures that was in a neat formation just a moment ago became sparse and utterly defeated in the next moment.
In the terrifying field of fire, countless summoned creatures were burned to death, turning back into fireflies that scattered everywhere. Only a few Stone Puppets with slightly higher magic resistance were still struggling. Unfortunately, before they could rush out of the sea of fire, their scorched and crispy bodies had already been torn apart by the high temperature. Even the Earth Golem couldn't withstand the violent flames and melted into a puddle of soft mud.
The five apprentice witches turned pale and quietly retreated.
With their shallow knowledge, they had never seen a 'Fire Summoner' with such power!
"Run …"
Someone shouted, and the five apprentice witches turned around and ran into the distance without looking back. In order to outrun their companions, the bodies of two apprentice witches even lit up with the faint glow of 'Rapid Movement' and 'Acceleration'.
Unfortunately, an exploding fireball that was flying towards them exploded in the middle of their team.
The violent and ferocious flame waves surged and rolled in the narrow passage. No matter how fast their legs ran, it was impossible to outrun the flame shockwave.
Therefore, with the impact of the wave of flame ripples, the protective membranes on the five apprentice witches broke one after another, and they fell everywhere in the passage in disorder. The two corpses at the core of the explosion had been incinerated into ashes, and there were no bones left. The apprentice witch who was about to run to the end of the passage still had a mutilated corpse, but it was already charred beyond recognition.
If these apprentice witches were thrown into human society, they would probably all be invited to banquets by local nobles and treated as mysterious witches of honor. But here, they had become targets that others could kill at will. They couldn't even withstand a casual blow from the Inferno Tyrant, and after death, they couldn't even preserve a relatively complete corpse.
The path that fate had chosen for them was obviously a path of death that was completely impossible to walk through!
However, Alice had completely abandoned similar sighs before she was 10 years old. Ever since she embarked on this road of awakening, she seemed to have no other choice but to move forward with all her might.
Closing her eyes, she stood quietly in the pile of charred corpses. Alice carefully sensed for a while, and once again confirmed her previous speculation. Killing other Awakened ones could really bring some benefits to herself. This kind of benefit was also invisible and intangible. In the hazy illusion, she seemed to have some resonance with some of the laws in the depths of the endless void.
Some incomprehensible mysterious knowledge and content quietly integrated into her mind, making her seem to understand something, but also seem to understand nothing …
She didn't have time to bother with these deep and mysterious things. Alice called out to the Inferno Tyrant, and continued to walk forward along the complicated passage.
…
In a wide academic hall.
The walls were inlaid with milky white illuminating crystals in a picturesque manner.
Due to the long passage of time, the magic in these crystals had already been completely drained, and they could no longer emit any light.
Along the ring-shaped wall, there was a row of tall bookshelves. Although there were still some witchcraft books left on them, it was a pity that most of them were destroyed in the battle just now.
The hall was filled with frost, and the ice crystals were cracked. The ground was a mess, and it looked like the aftermath of a great battle.
The Ice Dancer Chave stood quietly in the middle of the hall, enduring the intense pain in her body as she slowly healed her injuries.
Her sparkling and translucent Ice Armor was already broken, and her soft robe was torn in many places, revealing her snow-white skin that was faintly black.
Chave took out a bottle of blue potion, gritted her teeth, and poured it on the wound on her shoulder.
The sizzling sound of flesh being corroded could be heard clearly. The black lump seemed to be alive as it burrowed left and right under her skin, but it was blocked by the surrounding Ice Power. Under the continuous washing of the blue potion, the black lump finally squeezed through the wound and burrowed out.
The moment it came into contact with the potion, it suddenly exploded into a cloud of smoke, and slowly dissipated in the air.
The hall was immediately filled with an indescribable stench!
After dealing with the most important injuries on her body, she drank a bottle of healing potion to allow her body to recover naturally. Only then did Chave have the chance to look around her.
In the bone-chilling room, three witches with different expressions on their faces were gritting their teeth, frozen in a thick layer of ice crystals.
It could be seen that the three witches sealed in the ice crystals were already dead!
Just fifteen minutes ago, Chave was lured to this hall by a witch who had an 'unexpected encounter', and was then ambushed by two witches who had set up an ambush. Fighting one against three, even though it was a little unexpected, and even though she was injured early on, Chave still managed to counterattack and kill all three of her enemies by herself.
Sensing the Power of Destiny that was quickly entering her body, Chave could feel that the Law of Destiny that was previously a little distant from her had once again opened its arms to her.
It seemed like the rumor that killing a competitor would bring her the favor of destiny was true. Yes, she could not wait any longer. She had to take action as soon as possible, or else the weaker witches would be easily snatched away by the other competitors.
After dealing with her injuries and the scene, Chave pushed open the wooden door at the side of the hall, and silently entered the complicated winding passageways of the Wizard's Pagoda.
…
In another region at the bottom level of the tall tower.
The Berserk Witch Sofia was also fighting with all her might.
But looking at her current appearance, it seemed like there were only a handful of people who could recognize her at first glance.
The original Sofia was considered one of the taller and more muscular witches. Her two-meter-tall body was even taller than Grim by half a head. Her entire body was filled with muscles that were as hard as iron ingots, with thick arms and thighs. If not for the two large lumps of flesh in front of her chest, it would be hard to believe that she was a woman.
But now, with the Berserk Power coursing through her body, the muscles of the Berserk Witch Sofia started to expand rapidly. She had already become a four-meter-tall female giant.
The muscles on her face were stretched and deformed. The eyepatch used to cover her left eye had already fallen off, revealing the grayish-white eyeball underneath. The crackling sound of bones could be heard endlessly. The Berserk Witch roared as she moved forward. The thick wooden staff in her hand magically grew thicker and bigger with her.
In front of her, two witches were leading a group of apprentice witches to escape with all their might. Unfortunately, they would not be able to escape far before she would catch up to them with her heavy footsteps.
Countless colorful Wizard Spells rained down on Sofia's body. She completely ignored the apprentice-level Wizard Spells. Rookies would always be rookies. The Wizard Spells they activated could not even penetrate Sofia's skin after she went berserk.
Only the Wizard Spells activated by the witches would attract Sofia's attention.
She would either grab an item and throw it over to detonate it prematurely, or she would wave her thick wooden staff to destroy the Wizard Spells in the air. In short, she would dodge and block the Wizard Spells if she could. Only when she could not dodge the Wizard Spells would Sofia choose to use her arms to cover her face and charge forward.
As long as Sofia charged to the side and waved her thick wooden staff, any protective film, protective cover, or energy shield would become mere decorations. Even an official Witch would not be able to withstand Sofia's violent attack, as well as the wooden staff that was as heavy as a mountain.
Anyone who was hit by her would only end up as a pile of meat paste or minced meat.
There was no other way!
The apprentice witches who were fleeing in all directions had obviously triggered some witchcraft traps in their panic. Thus, with a series of creaking sounds of metal, a group of Steel Guards with huge shields and large swords rushed out from hiding, joining in the massacre of the apprentice witches.
"Damn it, don't fight with me for the meat …"
Seeing a few apprentice witches die tragically at the hands of the Steel Guards, the Berserk Witch Sofia went berserk.
"These meat dishes are all mine … You dare to fight with me … Go to hell …"
Sofia charged forward wildly, waving her thick wooden staff. In an instant, she had smashed four or five Steel Guards into piles of twisted and broken copper and iron.
The Steel Guards, whose only order was to kill the intruders, immediately turned their guns and formed a neat combat team. With heavy steps, they began to charge at the Berserk Witch.
