It had to be said that today could be Alice's lucky day.
If the four Shadowsteel Golems had chosen her as their first target, she would have become a corpse riddled with holes.
No, under such a powerful shock wave of negative energy, her soul and body would have been transformed into some sort of undead creature in the shortest time possible. To her, this was undoubtedly more terrifying than death!
Fortunately, fortunately … Their first target was Sophia!
Perhaps it was because she was standing too close to the front, or perhaps it was because her sturdy body was more eye-catching … In any case, when the four Shadowsteel Golems slid out from the shadows, their eight sharp claws immediately pierced towards Sofia, who was speaking with her hands on her waist.
Sophia's reaction speed was very fast.
Even without the Witches' warning, she immediately sensed the abnormality beside her.
The Shadowsteel Golems relied on their bodies that could freely traverse the Shadow Plane to appear and disappear unpredictably. As long as there were shadows, their heavy bodies seemed to have lost all weight, and they could swim freely in the Shadow Plane like swift little fish.
There was no sound, no obstruction, no violent energy undulations. The only thing was that the Shadow Matter around the target was slightly thicker than before. The slight increase in the Shadow Matter was almost undetectable if one did not close their eyes.
However, Sophia was an Awakened with 13 points in the Power of Destiny. Her spiritual perception did not rely on her tentacles, but the premonition of danger that came with the Power of Destiny.
Hence, the moment danger approached, Sophia went berserk almost instantly.
In truth, Sophia's body was originally big and burly. From her appearance, she looked more like a Warrior than a Magus. At this moment, her body expanded, and her muscles bulged, making her look like an indomitable Valkyrie.
The thick wooden staff in her hand seemed to be some sort of Soul Equipment. It grew thicker as her body grew, and she danced like the wind. In an instant, she smashed away two Shadowsteel Golems that were too close to her.
However, at the same time, her body was continuously injured. Her left shoulder, left rib, right hip, and right leg spurted out large amounts of blood.
However, the berserk Sofia did not care about the injuries on her body. The thick wooden staff in her hand landed on a Shadowsteel Golem that was trying to escape at the speed of a storm. Before it could merge with the shadows beside her, Sofia had already smashed its skull and body into pieces in a violent and ferocious manner.
The Shadowsteel Golem was a special type of Assassin Golem after all. It was not known for its sturdy body, but for its ghostly appearance. For this reason, when it encountered Sophia, this madwoman who was like a violent Valkyrie, it only took one round before it was smashed into a pile of scrap metal.
However, it was only at this moment that Cheffu's' Ice Shield 'and Avatar's' Energy Shield 'finally landed on Sophia. However, it was a pity that after Sofia transformed into a Berserk Witch, she already had a body that was resistant to magic.
The advantage of having a body that was resistant to magic was that it could resist the negative energy impact and shadow damage of the Shadowsteel Golem's close-range attacks. However, the disadvantage was that it also blocked her teammates from healing her and buffing her.
Thus, ever since Sofia had become a Berserk Witch, she had always been alone. She rarely formed a team with others. One of the main reasons was that she could not enjoy the 'benefits' that other teammates brought to her!
However, as the saying goes, 'What you lose on the swings, you gain on the swings'. Although Sofia had lost the right to enjoy the buffs due to her violent body that was resistant to magic, she had unexpectedly gained an extremely strong recovery ability.
Almost as soon as the three Shadowsteel Golems disappeared, the huge wounds on Sofia's body started to wriggle and close at a speed visible to the naked eye. With this speed, a few wounds that would be considered serious injuries on an ordinary witch would most likely completely heal in three to five minutes.
"Damn cowards, you only dare to hide in the shadows … If you dare to come out again, I'll smash all of you into pieces …" Sofia stepped on the broken and twisted black body of a Shadowsteel Golem as she scolded the air around her. Her ferocious and wild aura was undeniable.
Faced with this kind of shadow assassin that came and went without a trace, she was the only one among the few present who had the confidence to be so arrogant. The rest of the witches immediately began to cast all kinds of defensive spells on themselves.
"Group Bull's Strength!" (Strength + 2)
"Group Cat's Agility!" (Agility + 2)
"Group Bear's Tenacity!" (Vitality + 2)
"Group Fox's Cunning!" (Intelligence + 2)
"Negative Energy Protection!"
"Shadow Protection!"
"Foresight!"
"Speed Boost!"
… …
Originally, with their relationship, it was impossible for them to let others enjoy the buffs of their spells. But today, a common enemy had appeared in front of them, and the other party had displayed a terrifying ambition to kill them all in one fell swoop.
Thus, the group of people who were fighting in full swing just a moment ago immediately became comrades in the same camp. In order to unleash everyone's full power, no one dared to hold back, and they all took out their trump cards.
With the support of this series of buffs, everyone's basic stats started to increase explosively. Everyone's bodies were wrapped in layers of energy shields and defensive spells. Now, even if they did not have Sofia's terrifying physiques, the remaining three Shadowsteel Golems would not be able to deal with them so easily.
Alice was even more exaggerated. She directly released a huge Spider Golem that was the size of a war chariot, and then silently burrowed into its abdomen, disappearing without a trace.
The Berserk Witch Sofia grunted, and carried her thick wooden staff as she led the way.
The Ice Dancer Cheff, whose entire body was wrapped in ice crystal barriers of varying thickness, followed closely behind.
Amanda also threw out two bottles of potions, and summoned two human-shaped Storm Elementals. She and Doris walked in the middle of the team. Alice controlled the Spider Golem, and brought the Inferno Tyrant with her to the back of the team.
This choice of team formation also took care of the characteristics of Cheff and the other two girls. After all, the three of them had mostly chosen to take support or elemental paths. Once they encountered a sneak attack from the Shadowsteel Golems, their chances of survival were far lower than Sofia and Alice's.
However, just as the team was about to take shape and was slowly approaching that mysterious place, a hoarse and unpleasant metallic sound came from the darkness in the distance.
In the hazy shadows, more than twenty shaky armored guards and close to a hundred modified wizard beasts formed a dense battle formation, slowly closing in on them.
One could not blame them for being slow. When this small team of Tower Guardians stepped into the area illuminated by the Inferno Tyrant's scorching flames, everyone finally saw their true colors.
Tragic! Really tragic!
The twenty-seven armored guards were a group of metal armor that had been activated. Through the gaps in the rusty armor, one could see the lingering black gas within the armor. Due to the corrosion of close to a thousand years, this batch of armored guards had already rusted beyond recognition. As they dragged their stiff and rotten metal bodies forward, pieces of corroded metal parts fell from time to time.
Many of the armored guards' metal kneecaps and metal leg guards had already corroded to the point that they could no longer support the weight of the armor. While they were still walking, they would fall apart with a loud crack. In the end, only the upper half of their bodies were still crawling on the floor with difficulty.
Such Tower Guardians did not need to be very strong Warriors. Even the delicate Amanda with the Bull's Strength could probably smash one or two of them with her staff!
It was the same for the rest of the modified wizard beasts.
Those Life Element wizard beasts had already died a long time ago. Almost all that was left were undead wizard beasts.
Dabo Corpses, Banshees, Vengeful Spirits, Mummies …
These wizard beasts were bound by the contract within the tower, but they had not received any nourishment from their souls or flesh for a thousand years. All of them were so hungry and thirsty. Now that they sensed the aura of life, they immediately became restless. Ignoring the mysterious girl's previous orders, they abandoned their formation and swarmed forward, howling crazily as they pounced toward the witch team.
In their team, the five Mummy Elders and three Undead Banshees were once level 3 undead creatures. However, their souls had deteriorated over a long period of time, causing their abilities to remain at the beginner level of level 2. They could barely be considered weak level 2 creatures.
Hence, their sudden attack clearly increased the pressure on the witch team.
Alice controlled the spider puppet beast, waving its four pairs of sharp limbs and leaping over the heads of the three women. She came to the front of the team and stood next to Sophia.
Facing the ferocious enemies, the most important thing was whether they could withstand their mad dog attacks!
Abandoning the slow-moving Armored Guards, Mummies, Dabo Corpses, and other 'teammates', the first wave of undead wizard beasts that surged forward were all soul type.
The three Undead Banshees took the lead, opening their mouths to let out terrifying howls that were almost inaudible as they flew toward the center of the witch team.
The shrill howls that the Undead Banshees let out had the terrifying power to tear apart the souls of living creatures. No matter how sturdy the physical and energy defense was, it would be useless against an individual that lacked soul protection. Hence, this shrill howl belonged to the Psionic Sorcery category. It could ignore any defense, except for Psionic Sorcery!
Hence, the Undead Banshees' killing method was not to attack directly. Instead, they would fly to your side and let out a shrill howl that no human could withstand! In the face of this unimaginably shrill howl, all souls were like crystal and fragile glass, shattering one after another!
If your soul was strong enough, you might be able to withstand the invasion of your soul shattering. However, as your soul was continuously pulled by the shrill howl, your soul shook uneasily, causing you to temporarily lose all ability to resist. You could only watch as the Undead Banshees turned into a shadow and invaded your body.
That's right, the Undead Banshees' other terrifying talent was' occupation '!
They could control your body for a short period of time and achieve the effect of 'betrayal'.
