Chapter 274: Corrupt Witch! Cathy.
Actually...
It wasn't just the audience in the Eden Guild hall paying attention to Ling Zhan's movements.
In the top-floor office of this giant clock tower, a few figures sat, fingers interlocked, their expressions amazed as they watched the scenes projected by several AI flying projectors.
If the front desk manager were here.
They would certainly recognize these viewers as the high-ranking leaders of the Eden Guild.
These leaders had varied physiques.
One was as tall as a mountain, clearly from the giant race.
Another was short but muscular, wearing a felt hat, obviously a dwarf.
Seated at the head of the round table was a woman with delicate features, mature and seductive, her long, slender legs wrapped in black stockings, exuding an enticing aura.
She wore a large wizard hat, and her enchanting eyes, though slightly darkened from lack of rest, indicated clear fatigue.
At this moment.
She looked at her subordinates with extreme displeasure, filled with resentment, and said:
"Are you all out of your minds?"
"I've been working nonstop for half a month to crack the secrets of the magic runes. I finally figured it out and was just about to rest, but you dragged me here..."
"Just to watch a low-level dungeon raid livestream!?"
As the woman's complaints came out.
These high-ranking leaders exchanged glances, all letting out a wry smile.
In the entire guild, only this old woman...
Oh, no, this witch dared to speak to them like this.
The people present.
The towering figure from the giant race was named Clore, an S-class instructor of the Eden Guild.
Next to him, the middle-aged dwarf wearing a felt hat was named Loren, the head of the corps, managing the armed forces of the Eden Guild.
Beside Loren, a figure enveloped in a dark aura, face obscured, named Clement, was the Eden Guild's ace assassin without an official title.
The mature woman venting her grievances and displeasure...
Was Cathy, the vice president of the Eden Guild, known as the Corrupt Witch.
These individuals were highly renowned within the Eden Guild.
Especially the vice president Cathy, known as the Corrupt Witch.
Her mastery of corrupt magic was notorious, feared by many.
It's said this level 100 fourth-turn wizard once used her corrupt magic to destroy a super-large defensive fortress of the Fis Empire, killing the emperor and all the royal nobles.
The reason was that the Fis Empire, unable to compete with the Eden Guild in the real-world resource wars, resorted to insults.
The insults included curses directed at Cathy's family and ancestors.
Coincidentally...
Cathy was actually from the Fis Empire.
She was born in a small village in the Fis Empire.
One day, the crown prince of Fis, on a hunting trip, was captivated by Cathy's beauty.
Predictably, the arrogant prince attempted to assault her.
Cathy's parents and the villagers tried to stop him with all their might.
The outcome was tragic.
The couple and the villagers were killed by the prince's guards.
Even worse...
The prince ordered the villagers' heads to be chopped off and displayed on pikes to show Cathy the consequences of defiance.
At that moment.
Cathy, in extreme anger and despair, awakened three S-class talents.
Corrupt Saint Body, Corrupt Embrace, and Dark Realm's Watchful Eye.
The village became a scene of corruption.
The evil prince of the Fis Empire died on the spot.
After that, Cathy left the Fis Empire, grew stronger, and joined the Eden Guild, eventually becoming the vice president.
Cathy had an extreme hatred for the Fis Empire.
The Fis Empire's continued insults only fueled her anger.
She showed no mercy.
The fortress, praised as the world's strongest defensive shield, became a wasteland under her corrupt magic.
The emperor and many nobles were either killed, tortured, or imprisoned.
The outside world condemned Cathy for her actions.
They said she disregarded international laws.
They claimed she would eventually become a world-destroying demon.
However...
The international association and the world court only sentenced her to twenty years in prison.
Cathy has long since been released from prison.
Upon her release, the inmates celebrated, relieved to see the back of this fearsome wizard.
Even after twenty years in prison, the fear of her remains strong.
Now, she is still obsessed with studying all magic.
The magic rune spell she mentioned earlier was something she obtained after a solo expedition into the Ten Thousand Demons Cavern in the Dragon Kingdom, where she skinned a red-named boss for its runes.
Of course...
She almost died in the process.
Cathy is essentially a madwoman.
A madwoman obsessed with magic.
Her emotions died when she saw her parents and villagers murdered.
The more careless she appeared, the more it indicated her disinterest in physical matters.
She yearned for the eternity of magic.
"Vice President, please don't leave yet..."
"You always wanted a final magic apprentice, right?"
"I think he is perfect!"
Loren, the dwarf, adjusted his felt hat, smiling as he spoke.
Clore, the giant, protested, "I think he is more suited to be my disciple, with his vigorous blood energy."
Clement, surrounded by shadows, remained silent.
He hadn't seen the boy display assassin skills yet.
"Is his magical talent better than that of Saint Luni?"
Cathy, rubbing her messy hair, asked curiously.
"Trust our judgment, and watch patiently..."
Loren smiled.
The power of that fireball had left a deep impression on Loren.
"Alright, I'll see if this boy with an Eastern face is worthy of being my final apprentice!"
"If he turns out to be useless, you three better be prepared!"
"The consequences of disturbing my rest are severe!"
Cathy adjusted her glasses, her brown eyes flashing coldly.
"Rest assured."
Loren didn't flinch at the Corrupt Witch's threat.
"By the way, what is this boy's magical profession?"
Cathy suddenly realized she hadn't asked about the boy's profession.
"Non-specialist scatter."
Loren smiled.
"Oh, a non-specialist scatter..."
"Scatter..."
Cathy nodded, seemingly understanding.
But the next second, her tired eyes widened in shock!
"What!?"
"Did you say scatter!?"
