Chapter 873: Display of Powers

Chapter 872 Display of Powers

Two groups of people stood before the Tower of Fate.

Only one person stood on the left. Naturally, that was Third Grade Witch Morgana, who had conjured a massive snowstorm around herself.

As for the five standing on the right, they were all from different races and had a diverse set of appearances and personalities. From left to right, they were: Alice, Mary, Billis, Tigule, and Gru.

All of them were Second Grade!

The two parties stared at each other from four hundred meters away, a thirst for victory shining from their eyes.

“Are you sure you want to fight me with this group of Second Grades?” Morgana’s body was once again engulfed by the snowstorm and lifted into the air. Her silhouette could hardly be seen through the snow and wind. However, her cold voice still reached everyone’s ears without any problem.

Though Morgana didn’t insult them, the disdain and pride she had as a Third Grade witch fighting against Second Grade adepts were already more than apparent. The way both parties carried themselves fulled demonstrated this as well.

Every one of the five Second Grades were trying to keep as low a profile as possible. It seemed like none of them wanted to attract the attention of the Third Grade witch.

Alice appeared just as casual and composed as usual, letting Little Helen hover and fly around in front of her. Several silver chains shot out of the two-meter gray staff in her hands and entered the bodies of her allies. One of the chains even pierced through the thick barrier of snow and entered Morgana’s body.

Naturally, the spell she cast on her companions was Fate Premonition!

It would allow Mary and the others to sense the direction in which danger was coming from two to three seconds in advance.

Meanwhile, the spell cast on Morgana was Rend Fate!

From this moment onward, Morgana would lose the blessing of fate, becoming abandoned by fate itself until the effect of Rend Fate had faded.

It was akin to the harsh punishment of having one’s Luck reduced by two levels!

Morgana was not a Fate Witch and was not directly blessed by the powers of fate. However, the fact that she could become the leader of the Coldwinter Witches was indirect evidence that she carried as much favor with fate as Alice did.

With a single Second Grade Rend Fate from Alice, Morgana had temporarily lost contact with her destined path. Until she defeated Alice, her past fortune would be gone without a trace. Any slight misstep and she would be on the receiving end of significant misfortune.

Morgana, still hidden in the snowstorm, let out a roar.

Even though she did not understand what that chain of light had done to her, she vaguely felt the faint rejection of the world toward her.

For a moment, even the ice particles that she controlled freely stalled slightly.

“Dammit, what did you do to me?” Morgana shouted furiously and cast out a large cloud of ice with a wave of her hand, “Die for me.”

This massive white cloud formed of pure frost and chill immediately pressed toward Alice and the four Second Grades the moment it emerged from the snowstorm.

The white cloud and the extreme chill within it already caused the air to crackle and freeze as it flew across. Some smaller hail and frost quickly started to appear, adorning the pure white cloud with an azure layer.

What a beautiful spell!

What a terrifying spell!

These two extreme emotions appeared in the hearts of everyone, but the very next second, they started to panic. Everyone used their personal methods to avoid this attack from a Third Grade witch.

Alice flicked her finger, and a strange stone glowing with silver light appeared on her head.

The strange stone immediately refracted hundreds of silver threads that completely covered Alice and Helen. The next second, the silver light flashed, and Alice had vanished from the spot.

Mary had the best dynamic vision amongst all the Second Grades.

She turned her head and spotted Alice’s slowly reappearing body in a dim corner two kilometers away.

Hmph! Aren’t you fast when you run?

Mary snorted in disdain and quickly beat her bat wings, leaving the spot as if the attack coming at her was moving in slow-motion.

The white cloud and blue mist were inches away from Mary.

However, they continued to fail to catch up to her by mere millimeters. Movement and stillness, fast and slow; Mary had perfectly grasped the balance between these factors, making one wonder silently at her power.

Alice and Mary had already escaped. The other three remaining adepts also displayed their wondrous techniques and fled from the place.

Bug Adept Billis was undoubtedly the best at escaping amongst them!

His black robe suddenly collapsed, and a black swarm of insects turned into wisps of black smoke and seeped into the earth below, vanishing without a trace in a single instant.

Meanwhile, Split-Off Brain Gru was terrified by the might of this simple attack from the Third Grade witch.

Five hundred points. The core temperature of the cloud was already close to absolute zero. It could deal over five hundred points of frost damage to any lifeforms caught in it.

Gru had used an expensive magical alloy with extremely high magical resistances when crafting the machine that hosted his body. Still, if there was no need, he didn’t want to experience such a terrifying magical attack head-on.

A beam emitter on Gru’s shoulder let out a blinding light, and a black rift was instantly cut open before him. Gru extended his two metal hands and pulled the spatial rift even wider apart until there was enough space for him to dive inside.

One second later, a bright light suddenly shone somewhere five kilometers away. The planar space was once again sliced open, and Gru emerged from within after enduring the spatial storm between the spatial layers.

In the blink of an eye, the Goblin Shredder was the only person left standing on the battlefield!

Goddamit! Bloody hell! What in the name…these disloyal bastards!

Tigule muttered and cursed under his breath as he hurriedly activated the emergency escape mechanism on the Goblin Shredder.

Several dozen metal pipes extended from its tall back, and bright yellow flames spat out from within. The Goblin Shredder’s twelve-ton body immediately shot outward at an unbelievable speed.

At this instant, the Goblin Shredder’s flight speed could already compare with Mary’s.

However, it did not have Mary’s fine and precise controls and could only fly away in a straight line. If there were any errors in the calculations and any obstacles that appeared in the path of escape, Tigule would probably have to run straight into the obstacle with a face full of despair.

That said, with the Shredder’s sturdy body and insane speed, it could probably smash through the obstacle even if it were an entire mountain!

The pure white ice cloud landed on the ground, and thousands of tons of extreme cold surged out from within, wildly spreading across the land. The earth froze over wherever the chill went, and everything in the way withered and died. A layer of ice crystals, several meters thick, quickly extended outward across the uneven terrain of the wasteland.

If someone were to observe the battlefield from the sky, they would see a massive circle of ice suddenly appear near the Tower of Fate. It turned everything within two and a half kilometers into a dead, void world of ice and cold.

Meanwhile, Morgana continued to hover in the center of the snowstorm. Her hair billowed in the wind and her milky-white eyes trained on the proud and slender figure standing at the edge of the circle of ice.

Alice had teleported right to the edge of the explosion of ice. Even one meter less and the extreme blast of ice power would have engulfed her. The fact that she had correctly grasped the radius of the spell meant that she had perfectly grasped the limits of Morgana’s power. She knew everything about Morgana’s abilities.

That undoubtedly made Morgana even more resentful and irritable!

Morgana raised both her hands as the power of ice within her body surged into the storm around her. A door made of crystalline ice and snow slowly opened above the massive circle of ice.

Frost Guardians and snow beasts of various shapes and forms emerged from the door of ice, roaring and charging toward Alice. Morgana then put her hands together. A massive ball of cold air gathered in her palms, turning into a terrifying Frozen Orb.

“Die!”

Morgana shouted as she hurled the Frozen Orb at Alice.

Snow beasts were charging toward her from the ground, and countless frost arrows shot out from the Frozen Orb above. When a Third Grade witch moved, the momentum of her attack engulfed everything. It was a truly horrifying sight to behold.

“I’ll leave these grunts to you, Billis!” Alice said, with an airy smile on her face.

She didn’t even need to act herself. The little fairy flying around her waved the matchstick wand in her hand, and an elementium barrier appeared before them.

Elementium Invalidation Barrier!

Cold Immunity!

Elementium Disruption Forcefield!

……

……

Helen finally returned to Alice and slumped onto her shoulder after putting out five or six barriers in front of them.

The frost arrows wildly spinning toward them caused the layers of elementium barriers to shiver from the impact. Yet, strangely enough, the thin defenses blocked all of the attacks. They didn’t even allow any of the frost and chill to seep through.

A dissatisfied shriek rang out somewhere around Alice.

Seven or eight holes suddenly erupted in the earth in front of her. A tide of black insects swarmed forth and met with the vicious snow beasts.

One black and one white, the two colors clashed with each other, seeping and blending with each other.

The snow beasts that the Third Grade Coldwinter Witch leader summoned were not like ordinary magical creatures. Apart from the horde of First Grade creatures, there were also terrifying Second Grade beasts of various forms. However, the swarm they met with were no easy opponents either. There were as many as two dozen Second Grade insects hidden among the tens of thousands of black beetles.

Hundreds of casualties appeared as they clashed and bit at each other.

However, it was clear that the snow beasts had the advantage due to the frost aura surging from their bodies!

“Tigule, help him!”

Alice was like an extremely calm commander, providing direct and straightforward orders with every development that cropped up in the battle.

A sizzling sound came from the distance. Several dozen goblin rockets billowing out bright-yellow flames left a trail across the sky as they dove toward where the snow beasts were most concentrated.
