Chapter 359 The Tower Opens

The Tower of Fate

The building was a unique tower that had been sealed for a long tiht, a land far more barren and rural than even the wasteland known as Desolace

Any outsider that entered the Northern Lands would have to go north of Dian City, through the territories of the Death Witches and the Coldwinter Witches, and then through the dangerous area of the Chittering Hunting Grounds before they could step foot on Dragonblight

The Tower of Fate stood tall in the center of Dragonblight

The only reason why this area was known as Dragonblight was due to the actions of the First Witch of Fate when she had built the Tower of Fate Nine ons had been sacrificed here If one was lucky enough to tour Dragonblight, they ons in the hills nearby

This event hy this place was also a land cursed by the dragons that no outsiders dared to enter without good reason!

At the peak of the era of the Witches of Fate, the radiance of the Tower of Fate hat illuminated the path forward for all Northern Witches Moreover, the territory that the Witches of Fate owned included five large cities, countless followers, and a million citizens

Sadly, all of this had vanished and turned into the past as the light of the Tower slowly dimmed!

The Witches of Fate had been extinct for a thousand years due to internal conflict With their leaders gone, the followers and citizens of the Witches of Fate had died, one by one What remained of those who survived were absorbed by the witches of the other branches The territory of the Witches of Fate had also been split up and turned into the property of the other branches

Year 32,767 of the Era of Adepts The twelfth day of the second month of the year

On the day rumored to be the birth date of the First Witch of Fate, a thunderous ru out from the lonely Tower of Fate that had slept for a thousand years The light of the gray Tower of Fate once again lit up, despite the thick dust that clung to its walls Its doors opened and invited the candidates and Northern Witches from all across the Northern Lands

Most of the witch branches had prevented their subordinates fro to this area in the past Consequently, after a thousand years, a place such as Dragonblight, where fate gathered together, had naturally attracted countless powerful ical beasts They lived here in this place and had, surprisingly enough, forh never to touch the Tower of Fate that stood at the depths of Dragonblight

Thus, these creatures and the ancient security syste witches that harbored any thoughts of breaking into the silent Tower

However, today, with the opening of the tower gates, liveliness once again returned to Dragonblight!

Today was the day the Tower of Fate activated, and today was the day the Battle of Fate came to an end There were over a hundred candidates, but only one could step out of the Tower alive

As such, countless candidates iht when they felt the Tower of Fate activating They drea the one to obtain the initiative

Sadly, the wild ht were massive trouble for most of the apprentice-level candidates It was virtually i a bloody path through the hordes of ical creatures!

Meanwhile, all seven witch branches had sent their representatives to observe the ceremony and its results They wanted to know the identity of the new Witch of Fate as soon as possible Of course, more importantly, they wanted to knohich of the seven witch branches' side she would take

The Tower of Fate

Nobody knehat ray-white color It was three hundred and twenty-seven est of the adept towers, but definitely the most mysterious

With the rejuvenation of the powers of Fate, and the reactivation of the energy pool and the defense system, all the dust, cobwebs, and dirt fell off the tower due to the revival of the defensive forcefield

Blinding hts started to appear around the body of the Tower Mysterious ical runes flashed within the sea of radiance The altar laht that stretched into the distant horizon The bearay darkness that had hung over Dragonblight for the past thousand years The Tower of Fate once again appeared before everyone with its nificent and perfect architecture

Several powerful witches sat on their glowing broo in the sky They looked down at the slowly opening gates

The gates ht covering the outside of the tower

Before the Witch of Fate came to be, no visitors were allowed in the Tower of Fate Only the candidates could enter through their resonance with Fate

Countless visitors had appeared in Dragonblight since dawn

The candidates for the Witch of Fate fought their way towards the gates as they deflected the attacks of roups, and others alone The weaker ones died before they even ht would exit their body when they died These lights would brightly glow as they soared through the sky and plunged into the gray walls of the Tower of Fate

Most of the candidates still h the trial on the outside and arrived at the light barrier They hesitated for aa hand towards the boundary They were then sucked into the Tower

By noon, a total of seventy-two candidates had alreadythe odd witch known as Sofia, the Berserk Witch!

She was a e build and a pirate's eye patch over one of her eyes She wore green leather armor and carried a thick wooden staff behind her shoulders If it weren't for how recently she had advanced, she could probably have roup leader within most witch clans

It was evident that the brutal battle that had happened two months earlier had left permanent scars on her body
