Agatha The Legendary Guild Master

The forts in front of me were organized in layers upon layers, forming a huge hexagonal formation. I glanced at this huge formation from up above, and felt how hard this task would be.

The most prominent fort was the central one, with a huge towering pointed dome that was like covering the whole area of a palace, not a fort. I didn't doubt this huge dome to be related to what was going on here, as I didn't forget the presence of a special node here.

"This must be you," I muttered, while glancing at the formation surrounding this forte, like they were sealing it.

A fog should dissipate from the fort when attacked, that fog would cause everyone standing in this layer to go crazy and start a spree of killing!

However, I didn't see any fog, and I doubted I would even see it! I sighed, as they were really ready, even sealing the heart of this layer, sigh.

"You will be tasked to keep hitting the border," I said to my demon, while he had the only weapon in hand to face the demons. As for me, I started to glance at this formation, not hurrying to formulate any strategy yet.

I needed to first test this hexagonal cluster of forts, and see if there were any hidden surprises for me here.

So, I took out my own spear artifact, pointed it towards one fort, and landed a strong blow towards it.

The moment my lightning bolt moved near that fort, a strange fog suddenly appeared, out of thin air, forming a thick blanket like layer, taking the whole toll of my attack, and making it vanish simply like this.

Then it started to fade away, like it was never here to begin with.

This strange fog made me think it was the fog that caused everyone to lose his or her sanity. However, this one wasn't acting like that, despite being a fog.

Were they able to modify the fog? Turn into a defensive one? Or this was an entirely different fog?

First I would never step my foot inside this strange suspicious fog. Second, this nasty fog was able to block my artifact full and direct blow without leaving a scratch!

As I was baffled and angered with this strange fog, I suddenly recalled what was happening before when my demon used all his artifacts against the border.

"Hey, stop attacking there and come and hit this fort down here," I hurriedly shouted at my demon, making him stop, turn to look at me with strange glances, before he shrugged his shoulders as if I was crazy master, and then he waved his sword simply to hit one of the many forts down there.

The sword attack descended without any hindrance, until it reached the fort, and suddenly a group of giants jumped at once to welcome it.

The scene was ridiculous, as I now figured out how to break through this fog shield, and when I did, these annoying giants that moved to intercept the attack.

The giants were so weak towards anything related to the witch, and that was now an established fact! that huge domed shield was made out of their energy, like the border here, which meant they were immune to my artifacts, liable to be killed by my witch's sword.

However, how could I be able to destroy these forts if not for the presence of these annoying giants jumping to block the way of my attacks?

I had to improvise!

"Wait a minute, if they are weak towards the witch's energy, then that doesn't also mean they are weak to my own energy? I'm the witch's descendant after all," I muttered, while glancing towards my demon who kept hitting the forts down below in a futile attempt.

Each strike he launched was received before landing on any fort by a group of many kamikaze demons.

I sighed, there was no way then except using my mystic arts!

I took out my usual spear, threw it in the air, and then made it land over my fingertips. I decided to first use a normal attack to see if there was any effect or not.

I threw the spear down, and it instantly headed with extreme speed and great momentum towards the fort down below.

Once it reached the area of the fog, the fog appeared, but it couldn't stop its move, only slightly slowing it down.

The spear penetrated the fog area successfully, and that made me feel more hope towards this attack. The spear once approached the forts, many giants jumped to block it, and the next moment I noticed their ability to block my attack, but they were also injured in the process.

"Gotcha!" I shouted in triumph as I finally knew the right way to defeat this layer. However, the only remaining issue now was that my current spear was really weak. I snapped my fingers and glanced at it with regret, then stored it away.

It was time for me to go full out, to be fighting seriously; it was time to use my artifact spear instead!

I never threw my artifact spear ever before! All I did was to lash out its attacks and hit my enemies by it.

However right now I was planning to really use it as a spear, and throw it using my mystic arts. I was pretty sure that doing this would really greatly deplete my hunger value, so I suddenly filled the whole balloon with pearls, preparing for using them at any given notice.

This act startled my demon, who returned to attack the border once again. I didn't care about his dazzled glances, as I took out my spear artifact, closed my eyes, calmed my mind, and then threw the short spear to the air, and let my fingertips hold it.

The moment this happened, I suddenly felt great pressure weighing on my fingers, like a giant hand trying to crush mine. despite the pain I endured and all I did was to roar out in pain while gritting my teeth.
