Chapter 995: Witch Hunt: Death

Swoosh!

The smoke dissipated, revealing Edan and Lemi's tattered appearance, blood covering their bodies as they stared at Alice.

Alice kicked the ground, unwilling to give them an opportunity to fight back. She tightly gripped the spear in her hands as her aura rose once again.

She sensed that their demise was imminent. With their guards down, the first attack pierced through their defenses effortlessly. The fact that Alice couldn't end them even with their lowered guards spoke volumes about the tough defenses of the giants.

Ohm!

For the final strike, a surge of dream power exploded from her body. Alice gritted her teeth as she aimed the spear at the couple. Her strength surged wildly as she absorbed the emotions of the village people.

Edan looked at the light and said, "This is it, Lemi!"

"I know, we're finally free from all the suffering!" Lemi smiled.

In the next moment, Alice thrust the golden spear forward. A burst of light erupted, swallowing Edan and Lemi once again.

Boom!

A ripple spread out, shaking the entire space. It felt as if this dimension was about to collapse at any second.

The power of [Rhongomiant] shattered the rules around Edan and Lemi's bodies that prevented them from dying. They wouldn't return anymore; they had truly perished this time. Alice stood on the ground, gazing at the spear in her hand. This universal-grade weapon boosted her strength to a certain degree and granted her a powerful attack at the cost of her elemental energy.

The moment she acquired this weapon, a flood of information rushed into her mind.

"The King of Knights was killed just as he was about to aid Le Fay in her battle against her enemies. He fell at the hands of his own subordinates and some witches. So, it's the witches' fault that they've plummeted from their former glory... Instead of assisting Le Fay, they eliminated the one man who could have aided her," Alice said, narrowing her eyes.

"[Rhongomiant]. The Holy Spear of Light... It possesses the power to challenge the very rules," Edern explained as he approached Alice.

Alice turned her head to look at Edern. "Indeed. That's why I specifically targeted the rules binding your parents' lives in the Dream Palace. It grants them release through death." "I suppose it's my turn now."

"Are you certain you wish to meet your end?"

"Yes. I've awaited this moment for a very long time. You possess the power to end us, but tread carefully when encountering others like myself. Among them are formidable individuals equal to five or even six shackles," Edern cautioned.

"Is this the only thing left there?" Alice asked, gazing at the spear in her hand.

"I'm not certain. I cannot guarantee you'll replace anything else there. You're fortunate that the Holy Spear remains," Edern replied. He then gestured and said, "Regardless, let's proceed. Grant me death."

"Very well," Alice nodded before taking a deep breath.

...

Red Mist stood before the two elders, her eyes ablaze with madness as the ground beneath her feet began to liquefy.

"Submit!" Red Mist bellowed, raising her hand as a massive ball of flame descended from above.

Elder Grecia clenched her teeth, tapping the ground with her soul weapon. In an instant, several layers of a water barrier formed around her.

Meanwhile, Elder Amulgu retreated, erecting a protective barrier around herself.

Boom!

A powerful explosion reverberated, shaking the entire hallway. The door began to splinter as flames erupted, spreading into different spaces through the breaches.

The barrier surrounding Elder Amulgu shattered, but she swiftly conjured another. Taking a deep breath, she pointed her staff at Red Mist.

[Wind Fracture]!

A razor-sharp wind sliced through the air, hurtling toward Red Mist. However, before it could reach her, the gust dissipated into nothingness as flames consumed it.

"[Mantle of Flame Spirit]..." Red Mist muttered, fixing her gaze on Elder Amulgu.

The [Mantle of Flame Spirit] acted as a barrier, incinerating any attacks launched against her.

"I've grown stronger, and now I realize I surpass all of you. I am no longer weak. It's satisfying to know I can eliminate the elders of the Walpurgis Night," Red Mist declared coldly.

Elder Amulgu wore a somber expression as she glanced at Elder Grecia. "We must unite our efforts. Remuria is formidable."

"Then support me! Today, I shall vanquish this traitor!" Elder Grecia declared loudly.

"Agreed. Let us relocate. This confined space hinders our ability to leverage our numbers," Elder Amulgu sighed, resigned to the necessity of combat. Remuria had evolved beyond her previous understanding.

She raised her staff, initiating her incantations.

"[Recovery]! [Flame Resist]!

[Greater Heat Resist]! [Agility Boost]!

[Defense Enhancement]! [Burst Power]!"

A flurry of buff spells enveloped Elder Grecia, bolstering her strength. Sensing the augmentation, Elder Grecia wasn't content. She brandished her staff, casting additional spells upon herself, further amplifying her power.

Simultaneously, her elemental energy surged forth like a tidal wave.

[Dual Element Drive: Water and Lightning Integration]!

Elder Grecia leaped toward Red Mist, her staff tracing a path through the air. With a single

fluid motion, her power surged in tandem with the staff's movement.

A potent whirlpool of water crackling with lightning erupted from the floor, colliding with the intense flames in the vicinity.

Bang!

Red Mist crossed her arms defensively as the water and lightning vortex crashed into her, driving her forcefully into the door.

Boom!

"Now!" Elder Grecia bellowed, charging forward.

Elder Amulgu moved in unison. Arriving beside the door, she relaxed her grip on her staff. It ascended above her, spinning and accumulating a vast amount of energy. Then, she clasped her hands together, and upon parting them, a black and red scissor materialized.

This was her soul weapon, the [Divine Cutting Scissor].

"OPEN!"

Elder Amulgu commanded, wielding her soul weapon to forcibly widen the space. The area beyond the door quaked violently, allowing Elder Grecia to surge forward, unleashing a

barrage of devastating attacks.

Boom! Boom!

Elder Grecia bombarded the surroundings with her spells, heedless of any bystanders in the

vicinity. Her sole focus was on eliminating the traitor.

The thunderous explosions echoed throughout the area.

Bang!

Elder Grecia drew in a deep breath, her eyes narrowing. "There's something..."

Elder Amulgu tensed, sensing it too.

As the smoke and dust cleared, they coalesced into a swirling vortex of flames. The inferno

emitted a dense and formidable energy.

In the next moment, the flames dispersed, revealing Red Mist within. Her appearance had undergone a drastic transformation; red scales adorned her body, and a pair of dragon wings

extended from her back.

"Hahaha, there's nothing you can do!" Red Mist laughed, spreading her arms wide.

"Spirit..." Elder Amulgu muttered, her eyes narrowing.

"Remuria... Even with the aid of a spirit, it changes nothing," Elder Grecia declared.

The two elders emanated a powerful energy, enveloping the entire area. They advanced, confronting Red Mist, shrouded in swirling flames.

Elder Grecia surged forward, her aura intensifying. She harbored no fear of Red Mist; as one of the elders of the Walpurgis Night, she possessed unwavering confidence in her strength.

Bang!

The entire area trembled violently as Elder Grecia positioned herself before Red Mist. "Hmm... Dream Power, huh?" Red Mist muttered, her gaze fixed on the elder before her. "You should concern yourself with your own fate," Elder Grecia retorted, her tone icy.

In the following moment, she wielded her soul weapon, commanding a vast reservoir of dream power. The [Dream Power III] possessed by the elders was formidable, unmatched even within the ranks of the entire Walpurgis Night. Those combat elites who trailed only the elders could only aspire to [Dream Power II].

Red Mist thrust her fist, emanating an intense heat.

Boom!

The flames expanded as they clashed with the dream power. Red Mist's elemental energy erupted as she unleashed [Elemental Drive: Fire Integration]. Her mastery of elemental power was remarkable, nearing the Fusion Stage. Had it not been for the stringent requirements of the Seventh Shackle, she would have reached the Fusion Stage long ago.

Red Mist bombarded the land with ferocious flames, but Elder Grecia countered by wielding her dream power to manipulate the terrain, conjuring objects seemingly out of thin air. While the dream power held sway in the Dream Realm, Red Mist was no ordinary Sixth Shackle

expert.

Despite Elder Grecia's prowess, Red Mist's elemental power and spirit energy allowed her to engage in a formidable clash with a full-powered elder of the Walpurgis Night.

Bang! Bang!

Explosions reverberated incessantly.

Elder Amulgu remained in the rear, providing support to Elder Grecia. She observed the battle keenly, interjecting with spells occasionally to disrupt Red Mist's attacks and aid Elder Grecia. She hadn't anticipated a reunion with Remuria under such circumstances. It exceeded her expectations, as the Remuria of the past had undergone profound changes.

"I apologize, Remuria, but we have urgent matters to attend to. Please stop!" Elder Amulgu

said as she thrust her colossal scissor forward.

[Cutlass: Slash over the Elements]!

Red Mist widened her eyes as the flames were cleaved apart by the slashing motion.
