Rise of the Dark Witch

The continent in the devil's palm.

Deep inside the Witcher branch.

A group of second-level wizards who can affect the lives and deaths of hundreds of millions of people with just a finger gathered together.

A chilling atmosphere filled the air, and everyone's expressions were extremely solemn.

Gloria, who was sitting next to Roya, twisted her body uneasily.

Although she can be regarded as a second-level wizard, she is just a pseudo-second-level wizard who is still condensing the domain base and does not even have a domain.

The second-level wizards present may be different in strength, but which wizard's cultivation level is not at the peak of the second-level?

She was in the same room with more than a dozen second-level wizards who could kill her with just one hand. Even with Roya beside her, she still found it difficult to breathe.

Directly in front of the conference hall.

Guy, the head of the Witcher branch, frowned, and his eyes passed over the second-level wizards present one by one. When he looked at Roja, his gaze lasted particularly long.

After a long time, he spoke to break the silence of the room.

"Everyone will gather here today, presumably for the upcoming nightmare world."

"Nowadays, the dangers in the Nightmare World are different from those in the past. The Nightmare World with level 3 strength is sitting there. Even if we have so many level 2 wizards teaming up to go in, the whole army will still be annihilated if we are not careful."

"But this is both a crisis and an opportunity."

"The Nightmare Lord is very powerful, but as long as we successfully kill the Nightmare Lord, the rewards we can get are extremely rich."

"Maybe everyone here can step into the third level in one fell swoop?"

When they heard the words "Level 3", every wizard present, from Roya to Glory, their eyes radiated with scorching light.

They will gather in the Devil's Palm Continent, isn't it to get the resources to reach the third level in the nightmare world?

Although there was a slight accident before the Nightmare Realm opened. Wizard Bardo, one of the three main forces, was killed by Roya, but this did not affect their enthusiasm to become a third-level wizard at all.

Seeing the wolfish looks in everyone's eyes after hearing the word "Level 3", Minister Guy smiled slightly.

"Although risks and rewards coexist, and we are willing to take risks for the sake of profit, we will not do things we are not sure of."

"Facing the third-level nightmare lord, if we have multiple second-level wizards joining forces, do we have any chance of winning?"

"The Nightmare Lord is in the Nightmare Realm, protected by the rules of the world, and can exert greater strength than himself."

"And those of us wizards who enter the nightmare world from the outside will be suppressed by the rules of the world, and our strength can only be used at seven or eight levels."

"Under the circumstances, it is not as simple as simply hunting a level three monster."

"The test we face is extremely severe."

Faced with Minister Guy's question, even Roja lowered his head and pondered.

Although Roja once defeated the third-level Andre Wizard at the second-level realm across borders, and hunted six third-level void zerg with his teammates in the Void Guard Trial, he would not be so arrogant as to think that he really has what it takes. Level three combat power.

The gap between him and Level 3 is still extremely huge!

If he were to fight the Nightmare Lord under normal circumstances, he would still be 90% sure of winning.

But in the nightmare world?

What if the Nightmare Lord's strength is increased and their strength is suppressed?

In a one-on-one duel, Roja only had 50% confidence.

Even Roja, the strongest person in the field, was like this, let alone everyone else.

Especially since they didn't know Roja's true strength, so after losing Wizard Bardo, one of the three main forces, they were very unfavorable about this trip to hunt down the Nightmare Lord.

After giving everyone enough time to think, Minister Guy continued: "In order to ensure that this trip to the Nightmare Realm can go smoothly and to make our cooperation closer, I think we should conduct a drill first."

"What's the meaning?"

"Practice? How to practice?"

"I think Minister Guy has a point."

Seeing that no one objected, Minister Guy smiled and said: "The Nightmare Lord is at the third level and is good at spiritual attacks, so the best target for our training is a third-level strong man who is good at spiritual attacks."

After pretending to think for a while, he suddenly clapped his hands and said: "By the way, there is a Banshee Whirlpool Island near our Devil's Palm. The Siren Queen there happens to be a level three monster that is good at mental attacks."

"As a practice for hunting down the Nightmare Lord, let's go together to hunt down the Siren Queen."

"What do you think?"

Everyone who was originally very interested in the "drill" mentioned by Minister Guy changed their expressions after hearing that the target of the drill was actually the Siren Queen of Banshee Whirlpool Island.

They originally thought that the drill was to find a spiritual monster of the second level.

Unexpectedly, he actually hunted level three monsters directly?

As Minister Guy said, the Siren Queen is a level three monster that is good at spiritual attacks, so she is a suitable appetizer for the Nightmare Lord.

The premise is——

Everyone present wants to hunt down the Nightmare Lord!

Many of them didn't want to fight the Nightmare Lord at all.

Now, they pretended to agree to deal with the Nightmare Lord together. When the fight actually started, when Roja and others were holding the Nightmare Lord back, they left Roja and the others who were fighting to search for the treasures of the Nightmare Realm.

As for the resentment towards the Demon Hunter Guy and others afterwards?

The world is so big, where can they go with their strength?

Only a fool would actually fight against a level 3 powerhouse!

Even if they end up risking their lives to kill the Nightmare Lord, the Nightmare Lord has no share in them, so why bother?

There are many people who have this idea of ​​fishing in troubled waters.

Originally, their thoughts would not be exposed until they fought the third-level Nightmare Lord.

But when they heard Minister Guy propose to hunt down the Level 3 Siren Queen as a practice, they could no longer hide it.

The Siren Queen is easier to deal with than the Nightmare Lord, but it is a level three monster after all!

It is also an extremely difficult level three spiritual monster!

A little carelessness can lead to death!

Fighting the Siren Queen, no matter whether they win or lose, will not do them any good. If they escape from the battle, they will be blacklisted by the demon hunter organization. It is completely worth the loss.

In the nightmare world, the blacklist is the blacklist, and the third-level resources are the most important.

The words of the Siren Queen...

"Isn't it a bit too much to use the Siren Queen as the target of the exercise?" Someone questioned.

"It has been less than a year since the opening of the Nightmare Realm. We are fighting the Siren Queen at this time. What if we get injured and affect the battle with the Nightmare Lord?" Someone echoed.

"I think for practice, it's enough to find a second-level spiritual monster." Another person said.

However, in the face of everyone's persuasion, Minister Guy had no intention of giving in.

At this time, many people's eyes began to dodge.

Are we really going to fight the Level 3 Siren Queen?

"It is extremely difficult for a second-level wizard to hunt down a third-level monster. As the main force, the Bardo wizard was also killed. Without the Bardo wizard, I think this trip to the nightmare world has no chance of success! "

"I agree with this statement! It's all Roya's fault for killing Wizard Bardo!"

"I would not dare to join an adventure team that has a low chance of winning, but also kills important companions because of a momentary quarrel."

"That's right, that's right. Unless I find another person as strong as Wizard Bardo, I have no intention of participating."

One after another, the second-level wizards expressed their intention to withdraw from this trip to the nightmare world.

Every time the Nightmare Realm opened in the past, countless second-level wizards fought to get a spot in the Nightmare Realm.

However, this time, the people who finally gathered together wanted to withdraw?

Faced with those second-level wizards who wanted to leave, Minister Guy did not hold them back.

Not long after, there were only six people left in the huge conference hall.

Among the six people, three are hunters from the Demon Hunter organization, namely Guy, Lulin and Siqi, two are Roya and Glory from the Saint Luo Empire, and one is the Red Wizard from the Sea Sand Islands. Priest of Nasser.

Since Glory was too weak to participate in a battle against a third-level strongman, there were only five people who actually hunted the third-level monsters.

Can their five second-level wizards really fight against a third-level monster?

Can you defeat the Siren Queen?

Can he defeat the Lord of the Nightmare Realm?

Five second-level monsters join forces to hunt down a third-level monster? What a sweet dream!

Even if they really do it, the price they pay must be extremely huge.

Glory couldn't help but wink at Roja frequently, indicating that Roja would withdraw from the Siren Queen exercise and the trip to the Nightmare Realm like everyone else.

With Luo Ya's talent, becoming a third-level wizard is a sure thing, and there is no need to take such a big risk.

You must know that Roja is the backbone of the Saint Luo Empire. If Roja is involved in an accident and falls, Glory simply cannot imagine what the Saint Luo Empire will become.

Glory's concerns are justified.

Roya glanced at Glory, asking Glory to relax.

Although Roja is determined to win the Nightmare Lord, it would be too weird for him to be confident under such circumstances.

"Minister Guy, there are only five of us left." Roja asked pointedly.

"Don't worry, our demon hunter organization has personnel stationed in the Nightmare Realm. Counting the five of us, there are a total of twelve people. If we miss a few of them who are fishing in troubled waters, it won't be a big problem." Minister Guy said confidently.

"Is that so? That's good. ...What about the crusade against the Siren Queen?"

"The drill will naturally continue. Does Wizard Roya say you don't have confidence? If you can't even deal with the Siren Queen, I think it's better not to enter the nightmare world."

"Haha, of course I don't have a problem. I'm just worried that if you get injured, it will affect the battle to hunt down the Nightmare Lord."

"Don't worry, we value the Nightmare Realm far more than you do."

After confirming that they would defeat the Siren Queen, everyone present began to discuss.

After discussing various details and agreeing on a crusade time of half a month, the meeting ended and everyone dispersed.

at night.

Roja sat on the top of the tower of the Demon Hunter branch, looking at the Devil's Palm Continent.

Devil's Palm is truly a paradise for demon hunters. There are countless numbers and types of monsters living on this continent.

Not to mention the weak elementary, middle and high-level monsters, there are legendary monsters everywhere, lord-level monsters can be seen everywhere, there are dozens of overlord-level monsters, and even third-order domain lord-level monsters have two.

This is a paradise for demon hunters and a purgatory for ordinary people.

Listening to the roar of monsters in the distance and sitting under the clear blue starry sky, Roja felt that the world was so peaceful.

"Wizard Roya, there are only a few days left before the battle with the Siren Queen. Everyone else is busy preparing for the battle. Do you still have the leisure to admire the moon here?"

Priest Nasser from the Sea Sand Islands fell next to Roja.

Roja withdrew his gaze from the forest in the distance and turned his head to look at the Nasser priest standing next to him.

Priest Nasser is a tall and sturdy man, wearing a red wizard robe and dressed in extremely weird ways.

There are colorful feathers on her curly gray hair.

On the dark face, strange pictures and texts were drawn using the blood of various monsters.

The red wizard robe he was wearing was hung with various unknown monster bones and precious herbs.

He looks like he is dressed like a great dance master in the countryside. If anyone dares to underestimate him because of this, he will definitely suffer a big loss.

Because he is the priest of Haisha Islands!

The Haisha Islands are a human gathering place composed of thousands of islands.

These islands are large, covering more than 100,000 square kilometers, and are comparable to small provinces. It is small, with an area equivalent to that of a university.

The combined land area and sea area of ​​the Haisha Islands is no less than that of Devil's Palm, and is dozens of times that of the Saint Luo Empire.

As the territory of the Red Wizard, the Sea Sand Islands worship the sea god Anala.

The sea god Yanara is a five-level eight-clawed octopus sea monster. He lives in the depths of the Yanara Trench near the Sea Sand Islands. He is believed by hundreds of millions of people in the Sea Sand Islands. The red wizards there all believe in Yanara. La Poseidon, a wizard who signed a contract with the sea god Octopus.

As a red wizard who signed a contract with the sea god Yanara, the priest of Nasser is no weaker than the Bardo wizard who was killed by Roja before.

The upper limit of strength is stronger than that of Wizard Bardo.

After all, one contract is with the fourth-level Bloodthorn Demon Forest, and all the contracts are with the fifth-level Poseidon Octopus.

It's just that due to the different types of contracts, Wizard Bardo is much stronger than Priest Nasser, including the Contract Demon God.

"Wizard Roya, what do you think about the crusade against the Siren Queen in half a month?" Priest Nasser asked directly.

"The Siren Queen of Banshee Whirlpool Island is only at the beginning of the third level. I believe that with the help of my Time Jenga, the five of us still have the possibility to fight against the Siren Queen." Luo Yasin said.

"Wizard Roya, after all, you are a strong man who has defeated the third-level wizard Andre. It is normal for you to have this confidence, but it is a pity that I do not." Priest Nasser sighed, "Now that wizard Bardo has died, the front The burden of fighting against the third-level monsters falls on me, but the cost of summoning the Contracted Demon God is much higher than that of Wizard Bardo."

The Bardo wizard signed an equal contract with the fourth-level Bloodthorn Demon Forest, and the Bloodthorn Demon Forest's low IQ is easy to fool, making Bardo Wizard use the power of the Bloodthorn Demon Forest at almost no cost.

Priest Nasser is different.

Wanting to summon the Poseidon projection to fight would place a heavy burden on him. If the sacrifices were not enough, the summoning might fail.

"Are you going to give up?" Roya asked.

"No, that's not the case. If I wanted to give up, I would have left like everyone else..." Priest Naser looked at Roja with his eyes, "I came to you not simply to complain, but to Want to cooperate with you?"

"I know that you are very strong. Whether you are facing the Siren Queen or the Nightmare Lord, you have the confidence to survive."

"I'm different from you. I don't have the confidence to live. I'm afraid of death."

"All you need to do for our cooperation is to save my life in times of crisis."

"Of course, the reward will not be small."

Priest Nasser opened his mouth and vomited a translucent pearl the size of a football from his throat.

This is not an ordinary pearl, because there is a shadow of an octopus inside the pearl. The power fluctuations emitted by the shadow of the octopus made even Roja feel his heart tremble.

"This is the God Summoning Sea Pearl. There is a clone of Poseidon's power sealed inside. When needed, you can summon a Poseidon with level 3 strength to fight for you."

"There is no need to perform rituals, no sacrifices, no magic power consumption, just a wizard can use it."

"The only flaw is that it only lasts ten minutes."

"But summoning a third-level Poseidon clone to fight for you for ten minutes at any time without any consumption is enough to serve as a trump card for countless second-level wizards, isn't it?"

Luo Ya stared straight at the Summoning God Haizhu, speechless for a moment.

When Priest Naser proposed to cooperate with him, he didn't expect Priest Naser to come up with anything that would impress him.

He has seen many treasures in the Ten Thousand Demons Cave.

It's just a group of red wizards who believe in the fifth-level sea god Octopus in the Sea Sand Islands. What can they come up with that makes him excited?

But when he saw Summoning God Haizhu, he realized that he had underestimated his determination.

The God-Calling Sea Pearl is definitely a treasure that can be used as a trump card for any second-level wizard!

Even if he is as strong as Roja, the Summoning God Sea Pearl is an extremely powerful item for him!

The God-Calling Sea Pearl should be the hidden trump card of the Naser Priest, right?

He actually used his hidden trump card to trade. Should he be called bold and reckless, or should he be said to have too much trust in Roja's strength?

"You just need me to protect you from death in the next battle against the Siren Queen and the Lord of the Nightmare Realm, right?"

"Yes."

"Okay, I agree to this deal!"

Roja didn't hesitate for too long and nodded directly.

With his strength, it is not too difficult to protect a second-level wizard from a third-level monster.

The premise is that the other party does not deliberately seek death.

If the other party does not listen to the advice and deliberately commits suicide-seeking behavior, then it is not within the scope of cooperation.

If he dies when the time comes, he can’t blame Roja for not being able to protect him properly.

After reaching a cooperation and signing a contract, the two chatted for a while, and then Priest Nasser left with a heavy expression.

At this time.

A gust of fragrant wind hit my nostrils.

Glory came to Roja's side. She looked at the direction in which Priest Naser left, "Loya, is that Priest Naser from Haisha Islands? Does he have anything to do with you?"

Because she was going to fight the Level 3 Siren Queen in half a month, in order to prepare Roja for the battle and adjust her mentality, Glory decided not to disturb Roja during these days.

But after the visit from Priest Nasser tonight, she couldn't help it anymore.

As soon as Priest Nasser left, she immediately came up.

Because the barrier between Roya and Priest Nasser was set up to isolate them from detection when they were talking just now, people outside had no idea what they said and what they did.

She originally didn't want to make irresponsible remarks on Roja's decision.

Only this time she really couldn't help it.

Because this matter is related to Roja's life and death!

The journey to the nightmare world is not dangerous for a strong man of Roja's level - this is what Glory thought before.

It's just that this trip to the nightmare world is full of weirdness, and half of the people are missing before it even starts.

No matter how confident you are, you should think carefully at this time, right?

If Roja is the kind of second-level wizard who is about to reach his end, it is normal to risk his life for the third-level realm.

But Roja is a talented wizard with a promising future and is expected to reach the fifth level in the future. The Lord of the Nightmare Realm is just the icing on the cake for Roja.

One more is not too much, one less is not too much.

There is simply no need to take risks.

She had already decided to respect Roja's choice, but after Priest Nasser came to visit, the impulse in her heart could no longer be suppressed.

When she was thinking about how to persuade Roja to give up this trip to the nightmare world.

"Do you care what I talked about with Priest Nasser?" Roja asked.

"Yes, yes." Glory nodded thoughtfully.

"Actually, Priest Nasser came to me to discuss cooperation..."

Roja told Glory everything about his cooperation with Priest Nasser without any secret.

After hearing that Roya had obtained a god-summoning sea bead from Priest Naser that could summon the avatar of the sea god octopus, the sadness on Glory's face still did not recede, or rather it became more solemn.

"Did Priest Naser even use his trump card such as the Summoning God Haizhu to trade? This trip to the nightmare world is really too dangerous, I think... hmm?"

Gloria, who was only halfway speaking, looked at Roya in surprise as she looked at what Roya had stuffed into her arms. (End of chapter)
