dark witches rise

Chapter 216 The source of life, the guardian beast

Roja who passed the assessment suddenly collapsed on the ground.

At first, he thought that the so-called test was just using seven bottles of spell-casting materials to transform into a monster to fight the enemy, and if he killed all the enemies, he would pass.

However, it is not that simple.

Because during the assessment process, the use of potions, weapons and magic skills is not allowed.

What can be used is only the ability of Warcraft itself.

Moreover, the transformed monsters have different forms, and their living environments and attack methods are very different.

Some swim in the sea, some run on land, and some fly in the sky...

There are those who fight physically, those who spit out thunder, and those who injure the enemy with illusion...

The reason why many wizards who learned the phantom of returning to the source and turned into monsters, their strength did not advance but retreated was because they were not suitable for the body and fighting style of monsters.

A person who fights with a weapon in his hand turns into a monster with eight hands and three heads. All the combat experience of being a human being in the past is not applicable.

Can the strength not decline?
Therefore, the general returning phantom wizards will only choose a certain type they are good at when transforming.

For example, only melee ones, elemental ones, illusion types...

Some returning illusion wizards even only change into one or two monsters in their lifetime.

The assessment Ai gave to Roja seemed easy, but it was actually very difficult.

If he didn't rely on the certificate of twin souls, Roja felt that his probability of passing was less than [-]%.

The probability of [-]% is already very high, but the probability of failure of [-]% is not low.

There is only one opportunity for advanced assessment, how can it fail?

So Roja passed the realm examination without hesitation with the help of the certificate of twin souls.

The room reverted to the sealed empty space it was at the beginning.

"Teacher Ai, what is the advanced technique of Returning to the Source Phantom?" Roja asked impatiently.

Ai Yi was a fourth-level Sunshine wizard who had cultivated the witchcraft of returning to the source illusion to the apex, and even a second-level wizard dared to prostrate on the ground in front of her, not daring to take a breath.

Roja actually opened his mouth and asked directly.

The reason is very simple, because Ai is a puppet of witchcraft taught by the master of the magic machine domain, and has no self-awareness at all.

No matter whether he respects, loves or despises Ai Yi, Ai Yi will not have any reaction.

Under Roja's expectation, Ai spoke.

"Returning to the source phantom can allow us to transform into the appearance of a monster, gain the powerful physique and ability of a monster, and if we can obtain the blood of a demon god, we can even transform into the form of a demon god."

"Returning to the Source Illusion can be called the highest limit of all witchcraft!"

"However, the Returning Phantom has the only flaw, and that is that it requires spell-casting materials every time it is used."

"Returning to the source phantom without spell-casting materials, it's not even as good as a magic skill."

Before Ai finished speaking, Roja already guessed what the next step-up might teach.

"Could it be that you can use the Returning Phantom without casting materials?" Roja laughed out of joy, "Or can the number of transformations of the Returning Phantom be stored?"

"After using the spell-casting material, can the number of transformations be stored? Don't you need to use the spell-casting material every time you are fighting?"

The more Roja talked, the more he felt that there was such a possibility.

While Roja was chattering about various possibilities, Ai stood aside with his mouth closed and looked at Roja quietly.

After talking for a long time, Roja finally calmed down.

"Teacher Ai, I'm sorry, I was too excited." Roja quickly apologized to Ai.

Even though Ai is just a puppet guiding witchcraft, Roja should still be given the respect he deserves.

After Roja closed his mouth, Ai spoke again.

This time, Roja listened attentively and never interrupted again.

"The advanced practice of returning to the phantom can indeed transform without using spell-casting materials."

"You said that you can save the number of transformations in advance. You can do it. You can study it slowly when you go back. Maybe it can be researched by yourself."

"This advanced course is not about storing the number of transformations."

"It's a real transformation that doesn't rely on casting materials."

Ai Yi paused, and after looking at Roja who looked surprised, he continued:

"Next, I will teach you the high-level method of using the phantom of returning to the source - the source of life."

"You can choose a guardian animal as your natal source form, and then you can transform into the guardian animal of your choice without any casting materials."

"You can only choose one guardian beast."

"Once selected, it cannot be changed."

"Different guardian beasts have different abilities, and you can choose according to your own needs."

"What kind of guardian beast do you want?"

Facing Ai's question, Roja stroked his chin and thought.

The source of life?

Guardian animal?

All things he had never heard of.

"Teacher Ai, what is your guardian animal?" Roja asked.

"Unicorn." After speaking, Ai Yi's figure changed.

Ai's figure disappeared, and a beautiful unicorn exuding holy radiance appeared in front of Roja.

Roja couldn't help reaching out and petting the unicorn.

Ai let Roja caress her, "The unicorn is a legendary holy beast. I chose the unicorn as the guardian animal, so I can ignore almost all curses and purify most of the unknown things."

Seeing Ai who had turned back into a human form, Roja withdrew his hand regretfully.

The combat power of the guardian beasts is not very good, but each guardian beast can bring a strange ability to people.

For example, the unicorn brought Ai the ability to ignore the curse and purify the unknown.

As long as the unicorn is chosen as the guardian beast, it is equivalent to becoming the nemesis of curse wizards.

And the original shape also has a very powerful ability.

That is, after transforming into a guardian beast, if you don't know it in advance, you can't tell it with the naked eye!

After transforming into an ordinary Phantom of Returning to the Origin, anyone with a little discernment can see what is going on, and they will never mistake it for a real monster.

The guardian beasts in the natal form are different!
Others really can't see the difference!

In the eyes of others, transforming into a unicorn is a real, living unicorn that will never be adulterated!

"What guardian beasts are there to choose from?" Roja asked.

With a wave of Ai Yi's hand, balls of light floated in the room, and each ball of light contained a guardian animal.

Roja swallowed his saliva and looked at those guardian beasts, thinking of taking all the guardian beasts into his pocket.

"Is it true that the source of life can only choose one guardian beast?" Roja asked unwillingly.

"The cultivation of the natal form involves the core of the spirit. A wizard can only learn one in a lifetime, and it is impossible to learn more." Ai Yi shook his head.

"Spiritual core? If there are two spiritual cores, the natal source can choose multiple guardian beasts?" Roja asked with his eyes brightened.

Faced with this whimsical question, if Ai had self-awareness, she would definitely reprimand Roja severely, telling him not to think about unrealistic things all day long.

Too bad Ai is just a teaching puppet.

"If there are really multiple spiritual cores, the natal form can indeed choose multiple guardian beasts." Ai Yi replied.

Ai's words made Roja clenched his fists.

He has three spiritual cores!

In other words, his natal form can choose three kinds of guardian beasts!

"Can I choose multiple guardian beasts?" Roja asked looking at the light ball in the room.

"You can choose, but you are doomed to fail. I suggest you not to be greedy." Ai Yi discouraged.

"Mr. Aiyi, can you introduce me to some guardian beasts?"

"What type do you want?"

"Those that can help me get out of battle, those that are good for escaping and surviving!"

Facing Roja who expressed his needs without hesitation, Ai stretched out his hand.

Among the many light spheres in the room, three flew over.

"These three guardian beasts are the Deer of Morning Light, Black Crow of Shadow, and Butterfly of Full Moon..."

Under Ai's introduction, Roja knew what abilities these three guardian beasts had.

Morning Deer.

It has a strong affinity with nature, its body shape is integrated with nature, and it will not leave any traces when moving.

Simply put—

Can ignore all search magic and witchcraft!
As long as the cultivation base is high enough, even the prophecy can't predict the trace of the morning deer!
Shadow Crow.

Can lurk in the shadows, shuttle in the shadows.

It can even perform shadow jumps, jumping from one shadow to another to achieve the effect of space jumping.

Flower full moon butterfly.

The ability is very simple, that is, it can transform into a large number of butterflies.

These butterflies do not have real bodies, and it can be said that each of them is a real body. As long as there is still one butterfly that can escape, it will not die.

Moreover, the transformed butterflies can continue to transform into butterflies.

It can be said to be endless.

The three guardian beasts that Ai recommended to Roja are all excellent choices for escape from the battle.

The abilities attached to each one are coveted, and I wish I could learn them all.

Others can only watch and drool.

Roja?

Roja, who has three spiritual cores, can really learn all three!

"Want to learn?"

"If you want to escape, just choose one."

"There is no need to learn all three."

Roja is entangled in the three guardian beasts of Morning Light Deer, Shadow Crow, and Flower Full Moon Butterfly.

The Full Moon Butterfly can transform into a large number of butterflies, as long as one of them survives, it will not die.

The shadow crow has the ability to lurk in the shadow and perform shadow jumping, and has a strong ability to hide and escape.

Chenguang Shenlu can ignore all search magic skills and witchcraft, and even the mysterious and powerful prophecy can't lock the position.

If you choose one of the three guardian beasts as the source of life, sure enough...

"Morning Light Deer." After debating for a while, Roja made a difficult choice.

The full moon butterfly can transform into a large number of butterflies... What if it is wiped out in one go by a large-scale attack?
The Shadow Crow can lurk in the shadows, and can perform shadow jumps... If it is locked by someone, it will be useless to escape, right?There's no shortage of self-tracking wizardry in this world.

Chenguang Shenlu's ability to evade searches and even ignore prophecy is what Roja really needs!

"I can still choose two guardian beasts..." Roja narrowed his eyes and looked at the many balls of light floating in the room, each of which contained a guardian beast.

Roja is not in a hurry either.

He asked Ai to introduce the abilities of the guardian beasts present one by one.

There are many types of guardian beasts, and it takes a lot of time to introduce them.

It's just a little time, Roja can afford to wait.

After Ai introduced all the guardian beasts, Roja looked at the guardian beasts and frowned.

There are too many types of guardian beasts, too many abilities and too strong!
How he wanted to choose them all!
"I can choose three, which is already something that people dare not even think about. It's better not to be too greedy."

"What kind of guardian beast should I choose?"

"There are already guardian beasts for escaping and avoiding. The next step should be related to the battle, right? Of the three guardian beasts, you must choose one that can heal your injuries, right?"

The frontal combat power is not strong enough, no matter how powerful the escape ability is, you can only watch the enemy kill all your relatives and friends.

Without the ability to heal his injuries, he managed to escape after being seriously injured, but his death was inevitable.

"I'm a wizard majoring in life and minoring in spiritual power, so the guardian beast should be related to life and spiritual power."

"Learn from Ai's unicorn?"

"Ignore the curse or something. As a spiritual wizard, I don't think it's particularly useful."

"Choose the ones related to battle first..."

"The guardian beasts are all auxiliary, and there are none that can be used directly for combat."

"So choose someone who can keep wizards absolutely calm at all times, and who can make wizards ignore all mentally abnormal witchcraft?"

"I have the certificate of twin souls, absolute calm means little to me."

"A seven-seeded ladybug that can attach to the enemy, lock the enemy's position anytime and anywhere, and know the enemy's physical state?"

"My certificate of twin souls is also capable of this ability. I have learned a little bit, but it is not very useful."

"Can you separate the phantom clone that only you can perceive, can use the phantom clone to detect, and can also exchange positions and injuries with the phantom holy tree vine?"

Roja's sight was entangled in the light balls filled with guardian beasts.

Every guardian beast is so powerful, and they are all so exciting.

If he could choose ten or eight guardian beasts, he wouldn't need to be so entangled.

After watching for half a day——

"The true knowing spirit snake that can predict the future for a short time?"

"Wizards have all kinds of strange abilities. Many witchcrafts have the ability to kill at first sight. If they can predict the future, it will be very useful."

"Then choose the True Knowledge Spirit Snake as the second guardian beast."

"The third guardian beast, choose the one that can heal the wound..."

There are quite a lot of guardian beasts that can heal injuries, and Roja didn't hesitate for a long time, so he chose one of them without hesitation.

"A phoenix that can bring people back to life?"

The phoenix is ​​equivalent to the resurrection coin, which can be reborn from the ashes after death, and resurrected in a full state.

It's a pity that it has no use other than rebirth from the ashes, and it can't even ignore the flames.

It stands in stark contrast to other Patronuses with all kinds of bells and whistles.

The question is, isn't being able to rise from the ashes enough?
"After one rebirth, the soul of the phoenix needs to be condensed again. This period of time is very long, and the unit is a hundred years..."

"This is one more life!"

"Does there exist witchcraft in the world that can revive people in full condition when they die? If so, how much does it cost to buy it?"

"The third guardian beast chooses you, Phoenix!"

Above Roja's palm, three translucent balls of light are suspended.

It can be clearly seen that there is a small animal in each light sphere, namely the morning deer, the true snake and the phoenix.

Others can only choose one guardian beast for their natal form, but Roja actually chose three in one go. Regarding this abnormal thing, Ai, who is a teaching puppet, has no change in expression, his eyes are still empty, and he didn’t say anything. What.

It is precisely because Roja knows that Ai is a teaching puppet and has no ideas of his own, that's why he dared to choose three guardian beasts so blatantly. Otherwise, he would definitely only choose one, and then find a way to learn secretly from the remaining two.

"Teacher Ai, can you start practicing?" Roja asked impatiently.

"You can do it at any time." Ai Yi waved his hand, and an ancient book of witchcraft "The Origin of Life" appeared in Roja's hand.

Looking at the outlines of human figures drawn in ancient witchcraft books, Roja felt very familiar.

He looked up at Ai Yi, then looked down at the cover of "The Origin of Life", "You actually used your own profile picture as the cover of the book?"

"……normal."

Roja turned the pages of the book and read it intently.

Every page of the book is full of densely packed characters, and only by reading it with spiritual power can you see the complete content.

Roja flipped through the book page by page. The book didn't seem to have many pages, it seemed that there were only a dozen or twenty pages, but Roja flipped through hundreds of pages before finishing it.

After reading it by himself, Roja began to discuss with Ai about the source form of life.

Ai Yi knew everything about the questions Roja asked.

In addition to the questions Roja asked himself, Ai also took the initiative to tell Roja a lot of precautions related to the cultivation of the original form.

When Roja understood all the recorded and unrecorded content in the book "The Origin of Life", no one knew how many days had passed.

"Let's start practicing."

Roja's natal source form is the first to condense the morning light god deer.

The Dawn God Deer, which can evade searches and can't even locate its location with prophecy, is far more important in Roja's view than the True Sight Spirit Snake, Phoenix and all other guardian beasts.

Facing the siege of a powerful enemy, as long as the difference in strength is not too great, Roja thinks that it is not difficult for him to escape for a short time with the certificate of two souls and many cards.

But after all, it was only a short escape. How to avoid the enemy's follow-up investigation and truly escape from the battle is the key.

Roja sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed.

Under the guidance of his consciousness, the light ball filled with the deer of morning light approached his forehead, merged into his forehead, and entered his spiritual space.

In the spiritual space, Roja has carved countless spiritual mantras with the spiritual space as the core in advance.

Wrapped in spiritual mantras, the spiritual core is like the core in the center of an apple.

As the light ball containing the deer of morning light approached, the mantras wrapping the spiritual core retreated one by one to make way for the light ball to enter.

When the ball of light and the spiritual core face to face at close range, Roja's consciousness moved slightly.

"break."

The sphere of light enveloping the Deer of Morning Light suddenly shattered and disappeared.

A cute doe cub appeared in Roja's mental space, jumping curiously around Roja's spiritual core.

Seeing the densely packed spiritual mantras vibrating and shining brightly, Chen Guang Shenlu, who sensed the danger, wanted to escape, but he couldn't escape at all.

Threads of spiritual power stretched out from the spiritual core, binding Chenguang Shenlu round and round.

"Start refining."

According to the method recorded in "The Origin of Life", Roja continuously analyzed and merged with the deer of morning light.

The original shape is a high-level application of the returning phantom, which can transform into a guardian animal without the need for casting materials.

Although the guardian beast is not strong in combat and its functions are all auxiliary, having a good guardian beast has a great influence on the road of witchcraft.

However, not every wizard who learns the phantom of returning to the source can practice the source of life, and not all can have the guardian beast.

There are many reasons.

First, it is very difficult to cultivate the natal form, a hundred times more difficult than simply learning to return to the original form.

Second, the guardian beast is very difficult to find. If you want to obtain the guardian beast without relying on the Ten Thousand Devils' Nest, even a second-level wizard can't do it, and after becoming a second-level wizard and owning the witch domain, you can't practice the original form.

Third, the difficulty of fusion is very high. It is not possible to fuse with any guardian beast if you want to merge it, it also depends on the phase.

Chenguang Shenlu is close to nature, and prefers to avoid danger in the face of danger, and doesn't like fighting.

A wizard with a temperament similar to that of the Deer of Morning Light will get twice the result with half the effort when merging with the Deer of Morning Light.

On the contrary, for a warlike wizard who hates nature, the difficulty of merging the Dawn Deer will be half the effort.

Roja's temperament is relatively close to Chenguang Shenlu, so the difficulty of fusion is much lower, but even so, the success rate is only 30.00%.

"No wonder you can choose multiple guardian beasts, is it because of the possibility of fusion failure?"

"So the Ten Thousand Devils Nest is pretty good to us apprentice wizards?"

"As long as you join the Ten Thousand Devils Cave, you will be given witchcraft worth hundreds of high-level magic crystals immediately."

"As long as you pass the advanced assessment, you can give away any guardian beasts that even second-level wizards can't get."

"If a wizard who has invested so many resources fails to become an official wizard, or falls midway without creating any value, wouldn't the Ten Thousand Devils Nest die at a loss?"

Thinking that a thousand wizard apprentices may not be able to produce a formal wizard, and thinking that so many wizard apprentices die every year due to various accidents, Roja knew that most of the investment in the wizard apprentices of Wanmoku was a loss. .

Ordinary wizarding forces would definitely not dare to invest in wizard apprentices at a loss like Wanmoku. Who made the Wanmoku family great?
Even if the investment loses [-] million times, as long as it succeeds once, it will be profitable.

"It's not without reason that black, white, green, and red wizards have become the mainstream of wizards."

"Gray-robed, blue-robed, purple-robed, yellow-robed wizards, etc., cannot compete with wizards of four colors."
