Rise of the Dark Witch

Looking at the three-headed hellhound that was about to come in front of him, King Birolo's thoughts returned to a year ago.

a year ago.

In the palace deep in the kingdom of Pita Dryad.

After listening to the report of his subordinates, King Birolo waved his hand to ask them to retreat.

It raised its head and stared at the thousand-meter-high ancient tree not far away.

It has been thousands of years since the establishment of the Dryad Kingdom. Generations of tree spirit ancestors have devoted their lives to cultivating ancient roots of life one after another.

Nowadays, they have a total of forty-nine ancient life roots in the Pita Tree Spirit Kingdom. One of the ancient life roots has reached the limit of the first level and can be used for the second level magic plant advancement ceremony at any time.

Once the promotion ceremony of the second-level magic plant is successful and they have a second-level ancient life root, then their Pita Tree Spirit Kingdom will become a first-rate force in the endless forest!

As early as ten years ago, they had collected all the materials needed for the promotion ceremony of the second-level magic plant.

As long as they want, they can start the second-level magic plant promotion ceremony at any time.

If there is no external interference during the promotion ceremony of the second-level magic plant, the success rate will exceed 90%.

But this is impossible, right?

It's impossible for those wizards to let the dryads grow an extra second-level magic plant, right?

Once the second-level demonic plants are formed and are actively linked with other second-level demonic plants in the Endless Wild Forest, unless all the thousands of second-level demonic plants in the Endless Wilderness Forest are wiped out at once, it will be impossible to kill any of them. A second-level magic plant.

Because even if you kill someone, you can be resurrected again and again.

Therefore, it is very difficult to successfully cultivate a second-level magic plant.

Not only is the initial training difficult, but the promotion ceremony is even more difficult.

If it weren't for those damn wizards who interfered with them again and again, the number of second-level demonic plants in their endless forest would have exceeded 10,000.

Fortunately……

"Our Pita Dryad Kingdom is within the sphere of influence of the Ashbone Empire."

"The action to prevent the promotion ceremony of the second-level magic plant must be spearheaded by King Hulda of the Ashbone Empire."

"And the Ashbone Empire..."

King Birolo recalled what it knew about the Ashbone Empire.

"A country composed of aliens who are at the bottom of the human race's contempt chain, a country supported by gray wizards who are like rats on the street..."

"A country that, despite being known as one of the five great empires of the Shenwa Witch Realm, has almost no human forces allied with it."

"Obviously we tree spirits are the enemies of their humans, but we are still unwilling to lend a helping hand when we should be cooperating with each other."

"Watching the power of our dryads grow, we are unwilling to help the Ashbone Empire."

"In other places, the success rate of the second-level demonic plant promotion ceremony is less than 30%, but within the sphere of influence of the Ashbone Empire, the success rate is more than 60%!"

Birolo's conclusion was not based on his imagination.

It is a summary of thousands of years of historical experience!

Within the sphere of influence of the Ashbone Empire, the success rate of the second-level magic plant promotion ceremony is higher than that in other places!

"The human forces that already had objections to the Ashbone Empire are even more unwilling to cooperate with the Ashbone Empire after accepting our benefits."

"And they also leaked all the Ashbone Empire's combat plans and combat personnel to us, so we can make optimal solutions to their combat plans."

"The preparations for this second-level magic plant promotion ceremony are perfect in all aspects. It should have been possible to hold it as early as two years ago, but I didn't expect..."

King Birolo gritted his teeth. He was so shocked when he learned the news.

"Emperor Roja of the Saint Luo Empire is actually planning to cooperate with the Ashbone Empire?"

"I heard that when Emperor Roya was still young, he was captured by our tree spirits and imprisoned in a medicine cage. He was imprisoned as a slave for refining medicine for several years, so he has always hated us tree spirits..."

"So it's true?"

"It's a bit difficult to handle."

As the king of the Pita Tree Spirit Kingdom, Birolo has always been paying attention to the rise of geniuses among human wizards.

Roja had heard of this name as early as when he came out of the medicine cage.

But he didn't really care at that time.

He is not even a third-class apprentice, but his strength, character, and perseverance in destroying the medicine cages of their dryads on his own are absolutely first-class.

But looking at the entire Shenwa Witch Realm, there are not even ten thousand but eight thousand such geniuses.

Whether he can become a first-level wizard in the future is unknown, let alone a second-level wizard.

Even if they want to step into the second level realm, it will be hundreds of years later, and they will not be able to threaten their Pita Tree Spirit Kingdom at all.

Who would have thought that Roja's rise would be so fast!

He didn't reach the first level until he was fifty, and then he became a second level wizard before he was one hundred and twenty years old.

More importantly, he is no ordinary second-level wizard!

When he was a wizard apprentice, he fought two first-level wizards one against two and left safely.

At the first level, he defeated the Son of the Abyss and closed the abyss passage. Later, he killed the second-level Bru Wizard in the Land of Fusheng.

You must know that Wizard Blue is a student of the third-level He Mo Wizard!

The strength of Wizard Blue is ranked among the top twenty among all the second-level wizards in the Shenwa Witch Domain, including those on the bright side and those hiding in the dark.

Such a person of interest was actually killed by a first-level wizard?

On the second day after Roja killed Wizard Bru, Roja's name completely resounded throughout the Shenwa Witch Territory.

If it weren't for the fact that the Saint Luo Empire where Roja was in was a land of demons, the third-level wizards couldn't attack, and the second-level wizards couldn't defeat them. Otherwise, a bunch of strong men would have already approached Roja to "communicate" with them.

Then after killing Wizard Blue, he reached the second level of domain expansion in less than forty years?

He was so powerful at level one, how strong should he be at level two?

Although Roja has not fought since he returned as a second-level wizard, people have speculated that Roja's strength will definitely rank among the top five, and possibly the top three, among all the second-level powerhouses in the Shenwa Witch Domain.

This kind of wizard who has a high probability of entering the third level in the future and has a good chance of getting a glimpse of the fourth level is definitely not something the Pita Dryad Kingdom wants to mess with.

"I didn't expect that he had not forgotten the hatred of the past."

"The tree spirits who have been targeting our Endless Desolate Forest are actually cooperating with the Ashbone Empire."

"If there was only the Ashbone Empire, I wouldn't be afraid at all. I have more than 90% confidence in this second-level demon plant promotion ceremony."

"If Emperor Koroa is also involved..."

"Not only is he powerful, I heard that he has also contracted an extremely powerful overlord-level monster."

It is the red wizard's method to make a contract with a monster or evil god to gain powerful strength.

Although this kind of contract method can obtain the strongest combat power in the same realm, and the early stage cultivation and upgrade are also very fast, it will greatly constrain the wizard's own cultivation realm.

Because the wizard's own level of cultivation is absolutely unable to surpass that of the Contracted Demon God!

"I heard that Emperor Roya made the contract when he was an apprentice. His contracted monster was only a lord-level monster at that time, so the strength of the contract should not be very strong."

"For others, they simply cannot bear the price of canceling the contract. With Emperor Roja's current strength and his status as a student of Magic Academy, there should be no problem in canceling the contract."

"Emperor Roja himself, plus a contracted monster that is not weaker than Emperor Roja..."

King Birolo frowned.

Facing the mysterious and powerful Emperor Roja, it has no confidence at all!

Could it be that the Pita Tree Spirit Kingdom has been planning for thousands of years, and it has led the people to work hard for so long, only to fall short at the last moment?

"Since the Ashbone Empire can ask for help, then we can only ask for help."

The Empire of Gray Bones would need to bleed a lot of money to ask other forces for help, so why shouldn't they?

"The Kingdom of Bart's Dryad? The Forest of Sigri? The Tribe of Orang's Dryad?..."

Names of forces that could seek help emerged in its mind.

"If we ask for their assistance, they will send up to two second-level tree spirits and two overlord-level monsters. We will rely on these aids to resist Emperor Roja..."

"I still don't have full confidence."

Thinking.

Thinking.

King Biluo Luo bites his teeth!

"Ask Gulingdian for help!"

The Ancient Spirit Hall is the strongest tree spirit force in the Endless Desolate Forest and is the ruler of the entire Endless Desolate Forest.

Ancient Spirit Hall possesses extremely powerful strength.

Because the power of the Ancient Spirit Palace is not limited to the endless wild forest, but a behemoth that ranks among the entire tree spirit race!

Shenwa Witch Realm is just an inconspicuous small place in the huge power of black wizards.

So why not the Endless Desolate Forest?

Although the overall strength of the tree spirits is not as good as that of wizards, looking at the entire multiverse, they are definitely a respectable family.

There was also a tree spirit that had reached the eighth level!

Although tree spirits are now in decline like wizards, and the strongest tree spirits are only at level six, they still have many territories in the multiverse, and the Endless Wild Forest is just an inconspicuous one among the many territories of tree spirits.

The Endless Desolate Forest is just an inconspicuous one among the many sites of the Ancient Spirit Palace.

"People in the Ancient Spirit Hall of Emperor Luo Ya must have also heard about it. With Emperor Luo Ya's talent, he will be at least a third-level wizard in the future, and maybe even a fourth-level wizard!"

"And Emperor Roja is different from other third-level and fourth-level wizards. He hates the tree spirits in our endless forest."

"If he is allowed to grow up, he will definitely be a serious problem for our Endless Wild Forest!"

"I believe that Guling Temple will not leave such a huge hidden danger alone."

Thinking of this, Biluoluo couldn't help but smile.

With the help of the power of the Ancient Spirit Hall, we can not only ensure the smooth progress of this second-level demon plant promotion ceremony, but also eliminate the tree spirit's great enemy, Emperor Roja. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone!

"In order to persuade the Ancient Spirit Palace, we must plan carefully."

With this in mind, it brought the other two second-level tree spirits from the Pita Tree Spirit Kingdom to have a secret discussion.

…

After waiting for half a year, the messenger from the Ancient Spirit Palace is finally coming.

King Biluoluo led the crowd to wait for the envoy from the Ancient Spirit Hall.

One day, two days, three days...

Ten days have passed since the agreed time, and we still haven’t seen the messenger from the Ancient Spirit Palace.

"what happened?"

"You don't plan to come, do you?"

"Isn't Guling Palace great? If you didn't want to come here, tell me earlier. Why are you trying to play with us?"

Listening to the complaints of other dryads, King Biluolo could only scold them and tell them to shut up.

Seeing the unconcealed anger on the faces of the other tree spirits, King Birolo sighed deeply in his heart.

In fact, it was quite unhappy inside.

Is the envoy of the Ancient Spirit Palace a little too arrogant?

A few hours late and it won't complain at all.

A few days later, it can suppress all complaints.

But ten days late...

Just when it was thinking about finding someone to go and find out where the envoy from the Ancient Spirit Palace had gone, an exclamation suddenly sounded!

A huge bat that had lost one of its wings was rapidly approaching the Pita Dryad Kingdom.

It’s the overlord-level monster—the Night Blood Bat!

The dark night blood bat was covered in wounds, and its blood was like a fountain. It was burning with all its vitality and flew quickly in the air, as if there was a terrifying demon chasing it behind it.

The dryads of the Pita Dryad Kingdom exclaimed as they looked at the Night Blood Bat flying towards them quickly.

looked to their king and asked what to do.

"If I remember correctly, the Dark Night Blood Bat is one of the three overlord-level monsters of the Ancient Spirit Temple's Kluru Messenger."

Generally, a second-level tree spirit can only control one overlord-level monster, but the second-level tree spirit in Ancient Spirit Hall can control three overlord-level monsters!

The envoy from the Ancient Spirit Palace was ten days late, and one of the three overlord-level monsters envoyed by Kruru flew in seriously injured...

"Go check the situation and be careful."

King Birolo's face was extremely solemn.

It originally thought that the messenger from the Ancient Spirit Palace looked down upon them and didn't take them to heart, so it was late.

Now it seems that things are not that simple at all!

The envoy from the Ancient Spirit Hall was attacked!

But being attacked... the battle between second-level strong men should be able to be sensed from thousands of miles away, right?

Why did the battle go so quietly for so many days?

It was puzzled while welcoming the arrival of the Night Blood Bat.

Boom!

The Dark Night Blood Bat, whose body was covered with scars, plunged towards the ground.

The huge body like a small hill hit the ground heavily.

Then he struggled and opened his huge mouth.

"vomit--"

An extremely weak-looking little dryad vomited out of the Night Blood Bat's mouth along with a large amount of smelly blood.

Immediately afterwards, the Night Blood Bat exhausted his last bit of magic power and died.

Seeing Krululu, the envoy of the Ancient Soul Palace, who was lying in a pool of blood and passed out in a pool of blood, King Biluoluo took a deep breath in horror.

"We were actually attacked?"

"Even the Kurulu Messenger was injured like this, and the other tree spirits..."

King Birolo, who was already prepared for the worst, quickly asked people to bring the seriously injured and unconscious Messenger Kruru down for treatment.

It looked at the lifeless overlord-level monster Dark Night Blood Bat in front of it, with deep sadness in its eyes.

Contracted monsters are their tools, pets and partners... in their hearts, they are more often partners.

They have been taught since childhood that plants and animals are good friends.

Their love for plants and animals is absolutely genuine and not fake at all.

Therefore, they admire from the bottom of their hearts the monsters that risked their lives to protect their masters.

"Oh, take it down and bury it properly."

King Birolo stood under the shade of a tree and looked into the distance.

That is the direction from which the overlord-level monster Dark Night Blood Bat flies.

What caught his eye was the sea of ​​trees undulating in the wind under the sunlight.

Staring at the green ocean in front of him, King Biluoluo had lingering sadness in his brows.

Vaguely, it felt a darkness that could envelope the entire Pita Dryad Kingdom coming towards it, making its body become extremely cold.

…

"It's Emperor Roja of the Holy Luo Empire!"

In a room full of life generated by trees, four level 2 dryads sat around a table.

There are vines climbing on the walls, trumpet-shaped flowers blooming on the ceiling, and buds growing on the wooden floor...

Honey bees are flying among the flower buds, colorful butterflies are flying in the air, and seven-spotted ladybugs are drinking the dew remaining on the young leaves...

The room is so simple, but full of life.

In this room full of life, four dryads sat with gloomy expressions.

The little animals around are too scared to approach them.

The Kruru messenger from the Ancient Spirit Hall slammed his hands on the table, gritting his teeth in hatred.

"Emperor Roya——"

Recalling the desperate experience of those few days, its body could not help but tremble with fear.

"Ten days ago, the three of us came to your Bita Tree Spirit Kingdom as promised, but we didn't expect that when we were about to arrive in your Bita Tree Spirit Kingdom, the distance was already less than three thousand kilometers away..."

"We entered an extremely lush forest."

"Although this forest is not on the map, the maps are from hundreds or thousands of years ago, so it is normal to have some errors."

"We took a short rest in that forest, but we didn't expect..."

"That forest turned out to be Emperor Roya's trap!"

The Kruru Messenger clenched his fists.

This combat method of using the forest as a trap and manipulating the forest to attack is what the tree spirits are best at.

Now he's being exploited in turn?

"Although I know that Emperor Roja is a plant wizard, I didn't expect that his control over plants is even better than ours!"

"With the help of the power of plants, he arranged a huge barrier in advance to wait for us. There are actually multiple formations hidden in that barrier!"

"In that huge barrier, even if we have three second-level tree spirits and nine overlord-level monsters, we still can't defeat him, and we can't even send a distress message!"

Gulingdian attaches great importance to Roja.

After receiving a request for help from the Pita Dryad Kingdom, they had a heated internal discussion and finally decided to support the Pita Dryad Kingdom.

And it's not just any support.

It was to send three second-level tree spirits and nine-headed overlord-level monsters for support!

With the addition of three second-level tree spirits and nine-headed overlord-level monsters, Emperor Roja will definitely be able to come back!

In order to prevent Emperor Roja from knowing their existence in advance and being able to attack unexpectedly, their actions have always been kept secret.

Unexpectedly, their whereabouts were leaked!

There is a traitor among them!

Who are the traitors?

Dryad's own people?

Or the gray wizard?

Most likely a gray wizard?

After all, Emperor Roja cooperated with the Gray Bone Empire, and it was normal for him to have contact with the Gray Wizard.

As a group of capricious villains, the Gray Wizards are not worthy of trust.

As long as there is enough profit motivation, betrayal of allies is commonplace.

But even if their whereabouts were exposed and Emperor Roja set up an ambush in advance, it would be impossible for one person to fight twelve second-level powerhouses, nine of which were overlord-level monsters.

In the end, only one tree spirit from Krulu escaped alive. Isn't it a bit too strong?

They knew that Emperor Roja was very strong, but how could he be so powerful?

Not only did he unknowingly set up a large barrier trap, but he also created a composite formation.

Or a level two wizard?

If he was given enough preparation time, wouldn't he be able to kill even a third-level wizard?

After learning the tip of the iceberg of Emperor Roja's full strength, the bodies of the four tree spirits present could not help but tremble with fear.

Emperor Roya is really too powerful!

The threat from Emperor Roja is really too great!

And Emperor Roja’s hatred of tree spirits is well known!

Emperor Roja, who is still a second-level wizard, has caused them heavy losses. Once Emperor Roja becomes a third-level wizard or even a fourth-level wizard...

"Emperor Roya must die!"

Messenger Krulru slapped the table, his face extremely gloomy. (End of chapter)
