Age of Adepts
Chapter 56

After travelling for nearly two hundred meters underneath the earth, Greem was forced to resurface.

After all, traveling underground underneath the earth’s surface wasn’t as easy as it is on the surface. Areas full of rock formations and random patches of sand had brought no small amount of trouble for the golem. For this very reason, Greem had immediately ordered the Demon Alligator to resurface by making their way out of a random tunnel just after they had left the danger zone.

Greem closed his eyes and used his senses to probe things out. Inside the Demon Alligator’s stomach, Greem found Mary breathing rapidly, her body as hot as boiling water. As for Greem’s reaction to this, he just shook his head and sighed.

The ancient bloodline of the vampires was, as expected, quite incredible. Just by sucking blood alone, their strength would continue to soar into greater heights.

During the previous battle, Mary had forcefully sucked the blood essence of the enemy advanced apprentice, filling her body with great amounts of blood energy enabling her to, once again, undergo another round of evolution.

Due to the lack of necessary information pertaining to Mary’s situation, Greem did not dare to disturb her natural evolution. What he could do, however, was to find a relatively safe place, he then made the Demon Alligator spit her out and placed her on a warm and cozy blanket. After that, he excitedly started to search the dead body for treasures it won’t need anymore.

Before he started, he clasped both of his hands together forming a posture of a prayer, closing both of his eyes as he prayed to all of the gods he could think of. After he finished praying, Greem rubbed his palms excitedly, kneeling besides Anna’s miserable-looking body and started to conduct a search for possible loot.

Being an advanced apprentice, she must have some magical items she carried with her. No matter how poor she was, she should at least have some magical books or notes containing valuable magic insights. Even if she didn’t brought those with her, Greem still hoped he could at least find some magic crystals or magical materials.

When Anna was still alive, she was beautiful while also having a well-developed body which added another level of attractiveness towards her. Unfortunately, the last battle was incredibly violent, resulting in most of her skin being torn into bloody scars, making her current looks a far cry to her previous one. Despite her body being in such a state, most of her clothes and equipment were still intact.
