At the entrance of a dark tunnel near the battlefield, a Lich exuding a sinister aura was silently observing the battle between two outsiders.
With the help of the Deep Darkness spell, even if the outsiders walked past it, they would not be able to see its existence through the inky shadows. While peeking at the battle in the cave, its lower jaw gently opened and closed, as if it was silently communicating with a powerful existence that was not present.
As a Lich that was transformed from an elf, the flesh on its body had already withered and decayed, leaving only a thin layer of wrinkled skin on top of its skinny, withered skeleton. Its former beauty and youthfulness had disappeared, and no one was able to guess its original race from its ferocious and terrifying appearance.
A black human-skinned robe was draped over its body, faintly radiating a faint Aura of Fear. Its bony fingers, which were as smooth as new, were covered with magic rings of various sizes. However, there was only one piece of equipment that satisfied it the most, and that was the Sorcerer Bone Staff at its waist.
According to its master, the Sorcerer Bone Staff was taken from the spine of a high-grade Wizard, and it was taken when he was still alive. Hence, other than the powerful Power of Death, it was also imbued with that Necromancer's strong Curse Aura.
Any offensive spell cast by the Sorcerer Bone Staff would be imbued with Curse Aura, and it could ignore the opponent's magic resistance and spell defense. It was because of this rare characteristic that Lich Annes was able to make a name for himself under his master's command.
The Sorcerer Bone Staff had become a precious treasure that he could not bear to let go of!
For the past hundred years, he had been in charge of guarding this underground space.
Unfortunately, after hundreds of years of peace, a group of despicable intruders had disrupted the peace and order of this place.
The first group of intruders turned out to be a group of vampires from the Wizard World. After Lich Annnos sent his men to capture them, before he had time to think about how to deal with them, the spies and scouts he had set up outside the underground space were triggered.
This time, there were two different teams that had intruded into the underground space.
One team had only one person, and that was the terrifying Thunder Roc that had been transformed from a Grade 3 Druid. The other team consisted of three Otherworld Sorcerers, one of whom was a Tier 3 Witch.
Faced with such powerful invaders, the Lich Annnos had no choice but to summon an organized Undead Army from deep underground to surround and eliminate these restless creatures. It even led its personal guards to ambush the lone Tier 3 Druid.
Unfortunately, the Druid, who had mastered many wild transformation abilities, had thick skin and thick flesh. He actually withstood the charge of the Death Knights and escaped right under the nose of the Lich Annnos. Meanwhile, the Tier 2 Death Knight Legion that Lich Annes had spent over 500 years to nurture had lost nearly one-third of its members to that Druid.
That … That made Annes' heart ache!
Of course, if he still had it.
Enraged, the Corpse Lich Annnos led a large group of his subordinates in pursuit of the intruders. It was only then that he discovered, to his surprise, that the two groups of intruders were fighting in his territory.
However, just as it was hiding at the side, waiting for the perfect opportunity to launch a sneak attack on the two Grade 3 Magi, its murky eyes inadvertently caught sight of a male and a female Magus on the other side of the cave.
For some reason, when its evil and cold gaze fell on the little Level 1 Witch, she actually raised her head and looked at it in surprise.
Yes, the other party was slowly and seriously sizing him up …
The Lich Annnos could not help but be shocked!
Putting aside the fact that the other party was only a Tier 1 Witch, how did she detect his obscure mental scan? Just the Deep Darkness Spell that he was currently enchanted with was not something that could be detected by ordinary probing spells.
Moreover, the other party had indeed not detected his presence. She had only been startled the moment his gaze landed on her!
Not to mention the Tier 2 Wizard beside the little Witch, even the two Tier 3 Wizards in the cavern did not detect his spying. How did a Tier 1 Witch see through it?
Perhaps it was because the Lich Annnos's strange energy waves had disturbed it, but a powerful mental consciousness suddenly descended on its body.
"Huh? I didn't expect to meet someone favored by fate here … Hehe, looks like I'm in luck today." The master of the Tier 3 Lich Annnos saw Alice through its "eyes" and could not help but laugh dryly. "Annnos, I need that little Witch. Bring her to me. As for her companions, capture them first. Don't let them escape. "
"Master, there are two Tier 3 Wizards in the cavern. I … I'm afraid I can't take them down …" The Lich Annnos could not help but say.
"Hmph, useless. You've been with me for so long, but you can't even defeat two Wizards of the same rank. Useless!" The consciousness in Annnos's body cursed. However, it seemed to be worried that the Lich would really let the toys in front of it escape. It then said coldly, "Look after them. I'll send Luke over immediately!"
Hearing Luke's name, the Lich Annnos immediately relaxed.
As one of the many Tier 3 servants under his master, Annnos knew that Luke was actually his master's most trusted subordinate. Luke was also a terrifying Lich, a Tier 4 Undead Lich!
… …
Just as the Lich Annnos was lost in thought in the dark tunnel, Alice could not help but frown.
"What's wrong?" Grimm looked into the distance, watching the battle between the two Tier 3 powerhouses with an excited expression.
Frankly speaking, the battle between Tier 3 powerhouses was not as lively as the one between Grimm and the Balrog, and the effects were astonishing.
Once Grimm made his move, an earth-shattering Meteor Shower, earth-shattering Lava Pillar, and surging Lava Pond … Putting aside the lethality of the battle, just the effects of the battle were cool and enjoyable to watch.
However, it was very rare to see these Tier 3 powerhouses cast large-scale spells that were full of sound and light effects. They quickly teleported and jumped continuously, quietly exchanging instant-cast spells with each other.
Although the effects of the battle were simple, the A.I. Chip's feedback showed that the instant spells they cast were all at least 500 degrees of energy.
That kind of spell could definitely pierce through Grimm's Lava Shield and Fire Shield in one hit.
This meant that if Grimm were to fight with any of them, he would be forced to run away. Even if he put up defensive spells and magical defenses, they would be destroyed in an instant by his opponent.
The difference in strength between a Tier 2 and a Tier 3 powerhouse had never been so obvious before. It was difficult to make up for it with killing methods and casting techniques!
Although he could not enter the battlefield and scan the data of the battle, he could still use the A.I. Chip's long-range senses and records to gather a rough picture of the Tier 3 powerhouses' fighting styles and methods.
This would be of great help to him in his quest to reach the Tier 3 realm!
However, even though he was fully focused on the battlefield, he still kept a portion of his attention on Alice. Noticing her abnormality, he immediately probed her.
"There's a Tier 3 Necromancer spying on the battlefield …" Alice hesitated, not knowing how to describe her Perception of Destiny.
A Tier 3 Necromancer?
Grimm's attention was immediately drawn back to the topic.
"Is there danger? If there's danger, I can take you and retreat first! "Grimm used a spiritual link to ask Alice.
"I don't know!" Alice was evidently confused by what she had sensed, "I can see an indescribably large and terrifying darkness behind it, but I can't tell what it is. My divination tells me that we might be in great danger, but … but … my Perception of Destiny did not give me any warning! "
"Could it be that the spatial structure here has distorted your perception?" Grimm could not help but guess.
"The power of destiny is the most mysterious force in the world! No other force can distort or obscure it! "Alice shook her head.
"Then could it be that there's a powerful existence behind it, and its power has exceeded the range of your Perception of Destiny?"
Alice hesitated for a moment, and said with uncertainty, "Although I'm only at the Tier 1 realm, I'm still the leader of the Witches of Destiny. I'm blessed by the power of destiny. If it wants to obscure my Perception of Destiny, then … Unless it's a powerful being that has crossed the threshold of the Tier 4 realm! "
"A powerful being!" Grimm could not help but be speechless.
To be honest, a Tier 3 or Tier 4 being was already a terrifying existence that he could not fight against. As for those who had crossed the threshold of the Tier 4 realm and could freely traverse the void, they were simply too far away from his circle of activity.
It was so far away that Grimm did not even want to imagine it!
That was why when Alice suddenly mentioned it, Grimm grimaced in his mind for a long time, but could not imagine what a powerful being would look like. Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps, they would look exactly like the Tier 6 Great Wizard Salubo!
However, just as Grimm was trying his best to imagine, the outcome of the battle was finally decided.
The Dark Witch won, and the Druid lost!
As a Tier 3 being that was second only to the top beings in the realm, both sides had the power to destroy the world. Therefore, even if the Dark Witch defeated Antoril while he was seriously injured and dispirited, it was still a difficult task to completely defeat him!
