The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak

Chapter 991: Witch Hunt: Separation



Chapter 991: Witch Hunt: Separation



Alice felt a strong impact as she was pushed back, crashing into the walls. Luckily, Eilish snapped out of her thoughts and jumped away, narrowly avoiding the attacks of the human- like golem.


Bang!


The powerful golem stood before them. Other golems also gathered around, all facing their direction. They were once again surrounded. The plan had gone awry, with unexpected events unfolding.


"We can still jump into the shattered space. It will lead us to another area within the Dream Palace," Kayla suggested. They had no choice but to proceed if they wanted to avoid fighting the golems.


"That works for me," Eilish replied anxiously. She was determined to follow her brother and discover why he was in this place.


Alice emerged from the rubble, surveyed her surroundings, and declared, "I'll do it." "Do what?" Kayla asked.


"I'll lure these golems down there," Alice declared, pointing at the rift in the floor. "What? If you want to do that, we should just fight these golems," Eilish protested.


"If we fight them now, we'll have little energy left for other tasks. Our group's goal is to find the holy stakes, while you two want to locate your comrades, right?" Kayla reasoned.


Eilish bit her lip, acknowledging Kayla's point. These golems were formidable; a serious fight would deplete their mana reserves. Amanda and Souta were missing, and Amanda was the weakest among them. If she encountered these golems alone, the outcome would be dire.


The powerful golem slowly bent its knees, preparing to charge.


"There's no other choice! I'll lure them away! Don't worry, I'll find a way to escape!" Alice said firmly, facing the golem and swinging her spear.


Bang!


"Alice..." Eilish looked at Alice, concern etched on her face.


"Go! I know what I'm doing. Besides, I haven't unleashed my full strength yet," Alice declared loudly as she grabbed the golem's wrist and delivered a powerful knee to its stomach.


[Ice Wall]! [Freezing Ground]!


Her energy surged as she cast two spells to restrain the other golems while engaging in combat with the powerful golem.


Eilish watched for a moment, then nodded decisively. She turned to Kayla and the others. "Let's go!"


"Are you sure about this?" Kayla asked, sounding uncertain.


"We can't waste any more time," Eilish replied firmly, flying towards the rift in the ceiling of the room. She understood what Alice meant. Alice, with her lineage, still had reserves of strength she couldn't reveal in front of others.


Kayla and the rest cast one more glance at Alice before following Eilish.


Swoosh!


Alice leaped forward, thrusting her spear at the powerful golem. The golem dodged her attack, grabbing her foot and hurling her to the ground. Simultaneously, the other golems leapt towards her.


Bang! Bang!


Suddenly, a massive tornado filled with sharp ice materialized in the room, sweeping away the approaching golems.


[Cold Tornado]! [Freezing Shards]!


Alice staggered to her feet, tasting blood in her mouth. She had underestimated the golem's strength; escaping would not be as easy as she had hoped.


The powerful golem strode through the dissipating tornado, its wounds from the ice shards healing rapidly.


"I need to find its core," Alice muttered, scanning her surroundings. "I must lure these golems away and eliminate them swiftly."


The weaker golems quickly stood up, their wounds healing rapidly. Ignoring Alice's words, the powerful golem charged toward her with alarming speed.


Alice raised her hand, and tentacle-like flesh burst forth, ensnaring all the golems in her sight. Her once smooth and dainty hand transformed into a grotesque mass of flesh.


"Come here!"


Without hesitation, Alice leaped down into the rift, dragging the golems with her.


Ohm!


The shattered space cut through her body, but she swiftly healed her wounds using the power of her parasite.


In the next moment, she descended into an unknown realm. Alice immediately slammed her hand onto the ground.


Bang!


The earth shook violently, sending clouds of dust into the air.


Alice retracted her hand and noticed a large cut. The flesh restraining the powerful golem had been sliced apart.


"Where did that golem go?" Alice muttered, peering up at the rift in space above.


Had the golem managed to free itself and become lost in the space gap?


When she had jumped into the rift, Alice had sensed several other rifts scattered throughout the Dream Palace. It was evident that someone had deliberately torn the space apart.


The architecture of the Dream Palace was peculiar; it was designed to contain and interlink various dimensions, making it challenging to tear space apart. The ancestors of the witches would not have devoted time to constructing the Dream Palace if space could be easily breached.


"I'm fortunate the golem became lost," Alice muttered to herself.


It was the golem's own doing; slicing her flesh in the space gap had propelled it elsewhere. This outcome favored Alice, but if the golem managed to return to its previous location and pursue Kayla's group, it wou I pose a significant problem.


Alice looked around and realized she was in a vast room. Everything seemed unusually large, with objects several times larger than normal. A nearby table stood a foot taller than her, and the chair next to it dwarfed her in size.


Bang!


She was jolted from her thoughts by a noise. The golems stirred, dispersing dust with their


mana.


"I'll deal with these golems first," Alice declared as her appearance shifted. Strands of flesh emerged from her skin, forming an additional layer of armor-like tissue over her body.


With a swift kick off the ground, she launched herself towards the group of golems. The spear in her hand gleamed with a cold light as she brought it down.


[Frozen Zero Strike]!


The ground quaked heavily as a cold wind swept out, turning the floor to ice. The golems were thrown back, and the one that took the attack head-on sustained heavy damage, with several


parts of its body frozen solid.


Bang!


Alice thrust her spear once more. The golem crossed its hands in an attempt to block the attack, but the intense cold emanating from the spear froze its hands within moments.


Not wasting the opportunity, Alice stepped forward, putting more force into her assault.


[Sonic Thrust]!


A brilliant light flashed, accompanied by a resounding echo. The golem's frozen hands crumbled into tiny pieces of ice. Alice then spun in the air before hurling her spear.


[Ground Burrowing Spear]!


The golem was powerless to resist. A blinding white flash filled its vision. The next instant, the spear impaled its body to the ground, causing sharp ice to erupt around it. The golem's eyes lost their luster as its core collapsed.


Alice landed gracefully, retrieving her spear. She surveyed the remaining golems around her. "This will take some time," she muttered, raising her spear once more.


[Great Blizzard of the Thousand Moon]!


[Chilly Wind]!


[Hail Storm]!


[Freezing Breeze]!


[Freezing Ground]!


Alice unleashed spells one after another. Although not as skilled as Eilish in spell-casting, she possessed a wide repertoire of spells from her studies at the Ladro Institute until now. The surroundings transformed instantly. The table, chair, glass, and other objects in the room were encased in ice, now resembling sculptures. Frigid winds swept in every direction, carrying sharp ice shards capable of piercing through metal. Heavy snowflakes fell upon the


area.


Alice maneuvered swiftly, charging at one of the golems. With a deft movement, she swung her spear downward, severing the golem's arm. Though her intent was to deliver a fatal blow, the golem managed to evade a strike to its core.


"This time, there's no escape for you!" Alice declared, advancing and thrusting her spear


repeatedly.


[Dozen Piercing Strike]!


The golem staggered back, riddled with gaping holes in its body. A final spear thrust shattered its core, causing its body to collapse limply to the ground.


Alice glanced to the side and saw the remaining golems closing in on her. Gripping her spear


with both hands, she raised it above her head.


[Cold Tornado]!


A powerful tornado descended from above, hurling the golems in all directions. Using her enhanced physical strength, fueled by the parasite within her, Alice pursued the


scattered golems. With swift spear movements, she closed in on them with a determined


intent to eliminate.


After a few moments, Alice stood atop a golem, her spear embedded in its body. She withdrew her weapon and released her mana.


It took her five minutes to destroy all the golems.


"That was quicker than expected. Perhaps because the strong golem got lost in the space


gap," Alice mused to herself. Then, she turned her head to the side and asked, "Finished


watching?"
