Rise of the Dark Witch

The battle is decided.

The Siren Queen, who is bound by the withered vines, is only a matter of time away from death.

However, Roja and others did not dare to be careless during the battle.

While they were paying attention to the Siren Queen's mental attacks, they were weakening the Siren Queen bit by bit.

After confirming victory, they played less aggressively than before. Although it takes much longer, safety comes first.

Gradually, the Siren Queen became weaker and weaker.

If nothing unexpected happened, the Siren Queen would be dead.

Seeing the Siren Queen who was about to die in the hands of Roja and others, the expressions on the faces of the second-level wizards who had come to see the jokes and pick up the pieces were extremely ugly.

"I didn't expect that there were only five of them, but they could actually defeat the third-level Siren Queen."

"There's something about that Roja! It wasn't luck that he was able to kill Wizard Bardo!"

"Hmph, being able to defeat the Siren Queen doesn't mean they can kill the Lord of the Nightmare Realm! The Lord of the Nightmare Realm is much more difficult to deal with than the Siren Queen!"

The voices of these people were full of sourness.

Glory, who heard these words from the side, was full of contempt for those cowardly guys who were afraid of death.

But she didn't express her inner thoughts.

Among the many second-level wizards present, she was the weakest. It would be bad if other wizards were angered and took action against her.

She gently touched her chest. Inside her body was the God-Calling Sea Pearl given to her by Roja. She was ready to use the God-Calling Sea Pearl to summon the third-order clone of the Poseidon Octopus at any time.

With the trump card of Summoning God Haizhu, she didn't take ordinary second-level wizards seriously.

But how wasteful it would be to use the extremely precious God-Calling Sea Pearl on these rubbish?

She is always ready to use the God-Calling Sea Pearl to help Roja.

When Roja and the others encountered an accident while fighting the third-order Siren Queen, they summoned the third-order Poseidon Octopus clone at any time for support.

"There must be no accident..."

Glory kept praying in her heart.

Finally, with the screams of the Siren Queen, the huge body of the Siren Queen fell down weakly.

The Siren Queen is dead!

Roja and the others won!

"Finally killed her!" Guy said with a pale face as he wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"We actually won? Did our five second-level wizards really kill a third-level monster?" Lu Lin murmured in disbelief.

"This is all thanks to Lord Roja. Without his Jenga of Time and Withered Mitō, we people would have no power to fight back against the third-order Siren Queen." Siqi looked at Roja's sparkling eyes. said.

"Wizard Roya, thank you for helping me block the attack of the Siren Queen just now." Priest Nasser, who was weak from blood, thanked Roya.

Glory, who was watching the battle from a distance, also quickly flew over to congratulate her.

As for the other second-level wizards who came to watch the battle, they just hung in the air with gloomy expressions, their eyes full of regret.

If they had known in advance that it would be so easy to defeat the Siren Queen with the help of Roya, and no one would die or even be seriously injured, how could they have refused in the first place?

The Siren Queen has lived for thousands of years and has a lot of treasures in her collection.

If you can follow Roja and the others into the nightmare world, you will definitely be able to fish in troubled waters and get a lot of good things.

It's a pity that everything turned into bubbles because of their cowardice.

Looking at the trophies obtained by Roja and others after happily killing the Siren Queen, they felt even worse than killing them.

"well--"

With a long sigh, he left with full of regret.

the other side.

As the greatest contributor to the crusade against the Siren Queen, Roja received the most rewards.

For example, the corpse of the third-level Siren Queen.

For example, there are many treasures stored in the Siren Queen's cave.

However, these treasures, which are extremely precious in the eyes of ordinary second-level wizards, are just ordinary in Roja's eyes.

He didn't even think highly of the third-order sea monster corpse.

He gave almost everything he got to Glory. With these treasures, the foundation of the Saint Luo Empire became even deeper.

"In half a year, the nightmare world will open. Please take a good rest during this period."

Minister Guy gave instructions to Roja and others.

In the battle with the Siren Queen, except for Roja, the other four people were seriously injured.

The physical injuries are nothing, the most important thing is the mental injuries.

Mental injuries have always been more difficult to heal than physical injuries, and they may not be able to return to their peak condition within half a year.

So after the battle against the Siren Queen, Guy, Siqi, Lulin and Priest Nasser immediately went into seclusion to recuperate.

…

Only Roya acted like a normal person, playing with Glory in the palm of the devil.

Even for a first-level wizard, the Devil's Palm is a continent full of dangers.

Even level two wizards don’t dare to move around at will.

But in Roja's eyes, Devil's Palm Continent is an amusement park full of fun, novel and interesting things.

He and Glory were in the lush ancient forest, jumping between trees like apes.

They lurk thousands of meters deep under the sea and watch the beautiful deep sea scenery.

They were dancing in the sea of ​​blooming flowers, ignoring the flower buds with powerful hallucinogenic abilities.

Places that others see as dangerous, desperate, or forbidden areas...

In those places of death where countless people lost their lives...

In the World of Warcraft Paradise where dangerous monster plants are everywhere...

The two of them are everywhere.

…

Unknowingly, half a year passed by in a flash.

The day for the opening of the Nightmare Realm has arrived!

They gathered together and prepared to go to the nightmare world.

Guy, Siqi, Lulin and Priest Naser, who had rested for half a year, had returned to their peak physical and mental condition, and they were all ready to go to war with the Lord of the Nightmare Realm at any time.

Their eyes were full of confidence for this trip to the nightmare world.

A long time ago, they were filled with anxiety about hunting the Lord of the Nightmare Realm.

But after successfully defeating the Siren Queen, everyone became full of confidence.

The Lord of the Nightmare World is not much stronger than the Siren Queen in terms of hard power, even though due to the rules of the Nightmare World, the Lord of the Nightmare World is much more difficult to deal with than the Siren Queen.

The problem is that there were only five of them when they fought against the Siren Queen, but the second-level wizards who hunted the Lord of the Nightmare Realm had twelve people!

The combat effectiveness that can be exerted by the cooperation of twelve people is not as simple as 2.5 times that of five people.

Four times, five times, or even ten times!

Hunting the Lord of the Nightmare Realm?

Get it at your fingertips!

And the reason why they have this confidence is because of one man-Royal Nangle!

Their eyes all fell on Roja, their eyes sparkling as they watched.

"Lord Roja, I'm sorry to trouble you about this hunting operation of the Lord of the Nightmare Realm."

"As agreed at the beginning, the Lord of the Nightmare Realm belongs to you, and no one will compete with you!"

"Lord Roja, do you want to consider joining the Demon Hunter Organization? The Demon Hunter Organization is a loose alliance whose purpose is to hunt monsters. It doesn't care whether you are a black wizard from the Ten Thousand Demon Cave or a white wizard from the Nine Rings Tower. "

They praised Roja without hesitation, flattered and invited Roja.

Not because they are snobbish, but because Roja is worth it!

Luo Ya is not only a genius who is expected to reach the fifth level in the future, but his strength is also considered the strongest in the second level.

How many times can they encounter such a genius and strong person in their lifetime?

It's not easy to meet once, why don't you hug your thighs tightly?

The second-level wizard who looked like a god in front of others was just a humble licking dog in front of Roja.

In the past, their attitude towards Roja was not so humble, just because the previous Roja was just a legend to them, and they had not seen Roja's strength with their own eyes.

In the past, they said to Roja - "Everyone is at the top of the second level, who is stronger than whom?"

Now they think of Roja - "As expected of Lord Roja, he is not on the same level as us at all!"

Glory on the side watched Guy, Siqi, Lulin, and Priest Nasser surrounding Roya without restraint, and she couldn't help but puff up her chest with pride.

…

Deep in the Devil's Palm Continent, there is an ancient stone altar.

In the center of the stone altar, spiral-shaped passage-like patterns are carved on the ground.

As long as the altar is running, the door to the nightmare world can be opened in the center of the altar.

The day when the gate to the nightmare world opens once every twenty years has arrived again.

The official wizards of the entire Devil's Palm gathered together.

In addition to six second-level wizards, Roja, Guy, Siqi, Lulin, Glory and Priest Naser, there are more than ten first-level wizards.

Those first-level wizards do not go to the nightmare world.

Their purpose here is as tools to open the door to the nightmare world.

After all, opening the nightmare world is quite time-consuming and laborious. Facing the danger-ridden nightmare world, the second-level wizard must always remain in peak condition.

You must not waste energy by opening the door to the nightmare world.

However, it takes a long time for a first-level wizard to open the door to the nightmare world, a full seven days.

During this time, Roja and other second-level wizards stood aside and waited.

They looked at each other, chatted together, and listened to Guy, who had entered the nightmare world many times, introduce various precautions in the nightmare world.

The preparations are coming to an end.

On the altar, more than a dozen first-level wizards stood in their respective positions, chanting spells while injecting magic power into the altar.

The operation of the altar does not rely on their magic power, their magic power only plays a supporting role.

What really makes the altar run and opens the door to the nightmare world is the power of the earth's veins!

As the ceremony proceeds, massive amounts of leyline power are continuously injected into the altar.

The altar absorbs the power of the earth veins at a rate of trillions of units per second. After absorbing the massive power of the earth veins, the lines carved on the altar emit a dark light.

I don’t know if the swirling pattern in the center of the altar is an illusion, but it actually gradually rotates.

As more and more earth energy is absorbed, the light emitted by the altar becomes stronger and stronger, and the vortex pattern in the center of the altar rotates faster and faster.

Everyone knows that the door to the nightmare world is about to be successfully opened.

At the last moment before the door to the nightmare world opened, Guy said in a low voice: "Remember, the door to the nightmare world is only open for one month. If we cannot successfully hunt down the master of the nightmare world and return to the devil's palm within one month, We have to wait for the next opening of the Nightmare Realm gate in twenty years."

After listening to Guy's instructions, Roja and others nodded slightly to Guy, indicating that they understood.

Rumble——

The light on the altar was so strong that the entire altar trembled slightly, making a cracking sound.

This subtle sound could not be hidden from anyone present.

The altar used to open the door to the nightmare world started to break?

Could it be said that the altar is a disposable item?

After using it once, do you need to rebuild it next time?

Never heard of it?

Roja and others' eyes couldn't help but fall on Guy, the head of the Demon Hunter branch.

Even Si Qi and Lu Lin, who were part of the demon hunter organization, looked at Guy in confusion.

Everyone present was waiting for Guy's explanation.

Guy looked at the constantly vibrating altar, listened to the crackling sound in his ears, and frowned tightly.

Others wanted him to explain what was going on, and he wanted someone to explain it to him!

As the head of the Demon Hunter branch in Devil's Palm, he has rich experience in opening the door to the nightmare world. This is the first time in so many years that this kind of altar rupture has occurred.

A bad premonition emerged in his heart.

There is nothing wrong with the nightmare world opening ceremony itself, so the problem can only come from the nightmare world.

What happened in the nightmare world?

Is it dangerous to open the door to the nightmare world now?

"I don't know what's going on." Guy shook his head, "This matter is not something that we second-level wizards can handle. Let's suspend the opening ceremony of the Nightmare Realm Gate first, and wait until I ask the demon hunter headquarters. After the top management..."

"Stop it now!"

The first-level wizards who heard Guy's order hurriedly tried to cut off the magic power injected into the altar and stopped the opening of the nightmare world gate.

However, the opening ceremony of the Nightmare Realm Gate has reached its final moment, and it cannot be stopped at all.

It was as if a person had jumped up on the spot, with both feet already leaving the ground. At this time, it was said that once the height of the jump exceeds a certain limit, the person will die, and the body must stop rising.

How is it possible!

Seeing this, Guy gritted his teeth and directly shot to kill the first-level wizards who were performing the ceremony.

Boom! Boom! Boom! ——

Because of the opening ceremony of the Nightmare Realm Gate, the exhausted first-level wizards faced the attack of Guy, the second-level peak powerhouse, and all of them exploded to death without any resistance.

Although I am very sorry for these first-level wizards, under this situation, the gate to the nightmare world must not be opened!

With the death of the first-level wizards who held the opening ceremony of the Nightmare Realm Gate, the light emitted from the altar gradually dimmed, and the rotating pattern in the center of the altar gradually slowed down.

Judging from various signs, the opening of the Nightmare Realm Gate was blocked this time.

Boom!

Suddenly, a heavy impact came from deep inside the altar. Not only the altar, but also the huge hole with a diameter of several thousand meters in which they were standing shook violently.

The passage from the devil's palm to the nightmare world has always existed, it was just sealed with an altar. This seal is so powerful that even a fourth-level wizard cannot break it with all his strength.

However, because the gate opening ceremony has reached the last moment, the seal of the nightmare world has become extremely fragile.

If the seal withstands a violent collision at this time, then——

Roja and the others, who knew what was about to happen, looked at the door to the nightmare world that was about to be opened, and their expressions suddenly changed.

Whether it is in the devil's palm or inside the nightmare world, the gate to the nightmare world is guarded by the wizards of the demon hunter organization.

Is it the resident wizard of the nightmare world who wants to forcefully break through the seal of the nightmare world and come to this world? Or other creatures?

If it is other creatures, it means that the power of the demon hunters in the nightmare world has been broken!

At the thought of this possibility, everyone present entered a state of preparation, and Roja even started the Twelve Pieces of Time.

"Kakakaka—boom boom boom—"

It was as if there was something deep inside the altar that was violently hitting the altar.

The sound of the altar's cracking suddenly accelerated, and the sounds were dense and continuous.

Then in less than a ten thousandth of a second, the entire altar shattered!

Where the altar should have been, a huge hole with a diameter of tens of meters appeared. Judging from the breath coming out of the hole, there was no doubt that the opposite side of the hole was the Nightmare Realm.

Before they could understand what was going on, they heard a deafening sound like thousands of troops galloping towards them, as if a dam had burst and huge floods were instantly released downstream.

"Rumble--"

The next moment.

Like a volcanic eruption, countless jet-black substances gush out from the holes leading to the nightmare world.

The passage leading to the nightmare world was actually squeezed even wider under the erosion of this violent force, slowly expanding from dozens of meters in diameter to hundreds of meters, and then to several thousand meters.

"This is how the same thing?"

"Why are there so many nightmare materials pouring out of the channel?"

"What happened in the nightmare world?"

Guy shouted loudly, but no one could answer his question.

Facing the seemingly endless amount of nightmare material that was constantly rushing out of the passage like a volcanic eruption, all they could do was stay far away.

As Minister Guy said before, this matter is no longer something that second-level wizards like them can handle.

After nearly ten minutes of continuous spewing of nightmare material, the spewing material gradually decreased. Just when everyone thought that the matter was over, a loud scream suddenly came from the depths of the passage.

That's the roar of a monster!

And it’s not just one monster, it’s countless monsters!

"Boom——"

A thousand-meter-long overlord-level monster suddenly flew out of the passage.

This space located deep under the Devil's Palm Continent completely collapsed after the emergence of the overlord-level monsters.

The overlord-level monster continued to fly upward regardless of it. It broke through the earth and rocks in front of it and flew towards the ground quickly.

People on the Devil's Palm Continent only felt the ground shaking slightly, as if an earthquake had occurred.

Before they could figure out what was going on, they heard a roar from an overlord-level monster that made their scalp numb.

I saw a huge magical beast with a length of one thousand meters breaking through the ground and flying into the air.

It’s not over yet!

Next, monsters flew out from the depths of the earth like volcanic eruptions. Billions of extremely powerful monsters flew into the sky, covering the entire sky.

Facing the suddenly darkened sky.

Looking at the monsters crowded in the sky.

Everyone was stunned.

"Is this a stab at the monster's den?"

"Where do so many monsters come from? There are dozens of overlord-level monsters, and there are countless lord-level monsters and legendary monsters!"

"Our Devil's Palm Continent is about to change!"

When the people on the ground were panicking because of the sudden surge of monsters.

Deep underground.

Roja and others looked at the huge passage with a diameter of several thousand meters that appeared above their heads and reached the ground, and looked at the magical beasts that poured out crazily from the nightmare world.

Everyone vaguely guessed the reason.

These monsters ran for their lives like crazy animals before an earthquake struck.

That is to say——

Is the nightmare world about to collapse?

"The nightmare world is about to collapse? How could it happen so fast!"

"With the existence of the Lord of the Nightmare Realm, the Nightmare Realm can continue to exist for at least a thousand years. How can it collapse?"

"Even if the Lord of the Nightmare Realm is killed, there will be no problem if he persists for a hundred years!"

Among the people present, the one who looked most excited was Minister Guy.

After all, the nightmare world is managed by him, and there are many second-level demon hunters stationed in the nightmare world.

Now that there is a change in the nightmare world, can he not be anxious?

Not only did Minister Guy look ugly, but so did several other people.

They are also thinking about going to the Nightmare Realm to obtain the resources to advance to the third level!

Judging from the current situation, the trip to the Nightmare Realm is impossible. The plan to hunt down the Lord of the Nightmare Realm will probably go bankrupt. It seems that their chance to reach the third level is gone.

Which second-level wizard doesn't want to step into the third-level realm?

Can you not be anxious if you lose the opportunity to become a third-level wizard?

Among the many people present, only Roja's expression did not change much.

Because the Lord of the Nightmare Realm is just the icing on the cake for Roja.

He is different from those wizards who bet their chances of reaching the third-level realm on the nightmare world. Even without the Lord of the nightmare world, he can still become a third-level wizard and continue to advance on the path of a wizard.

It's just a pity after all.

"Alas, the nightmare world adventure that I have been looking forward to for fifty years has ended in this situation? It is really disappointing."

Roja sighed regretfully. (End of chapter)
