dark witches rise

Chapter 279 Unexpected Backstab

oh!
The dense defense composed of divine light and phantom butterflies was torn open.

A huge three-story-high monster undead came to Glory, raised its huge claws and patted Glory.

Sisi!

The air screamed in pain.

Under the shadow of the huge claw, all the light disappeared, and there was only darkness in front of Glory.

too fast!
It's too late to use the magic butterfly to defend!

Glory, who was at the critical moment, opened her arms and screamed loudly, a huge force of thoughts gushed out of her body crazily, and rushed towards the ashes and bone spirit in front of her.

It is really too difficult to rely solely on the power of thought to defend against the attack from the lord-level monster skeleton without the help of the magic weapon, the divine light and the butterfly.

"Wow!"

Glory screamed, vomited blood, and flew backward uncontrollably.

The Psychic Shield on her body helped her block 90.00% of the attacks, but even the remaining [-]% of the attacks still caused her to be seriously injured.

Ten percent of the power of a lord-level monster is still far above that of a first-level wizard!
Glory stood pale, her seven orifices were bleeding, and the blood was flowing like sweat all over her body.

Glori, who had just stabilized her figure, did not relax a bit because of the injuries and pains on her body.

When her consciousness was still in a dazed state, she instinctively used her thoughts to condense divine light and phantom butterflies to protect her and prepare for the next attack.

However, the attack from the Ghost Death Wizard has not come yet.

Glory looked at the ghost death wizard suspiciously.

The skinny body of the ghost death wizard stood still, his two big eyes protruding like fish eyes did not focus on Glori at all, but looked beyond Glori at the prison tree world and the tree world behind her. Roja.

The Ghost Death Wizard didn't take Glory seriously from the very beginning!

The real purpose of Wizard Death's trip here is not to rescue Wizard Ermi at all!
The dead ghost wizard and Roja were tens of kilometers apart and made eye contact. After talking about something, the two nodded at each other and looked away.

The Ghost Death Wizard looked at Glori and praised: "It is really rare to have such strength and awareness at such a young age. If you can grow up, you will definitely be able to become the overlord of Shenwa Wuyu."

The ghost death wizard took a deep look at Glory, then turned and left.

"Wait! We haven't..."

Unreconciled, Glori wanted to continue fighting with the Ghost Death Wizard, but now she couldn't even use her mind to float, so she could barely stand.

Hearing Glory's words, the ghost death wizard left his body, and he didn't look back.

He said in a hoarse voice: "Mage Roja is very strong. With his help, you will definitely be able to go further on the road to being a wizard. The premise is that he can survive forever."

After finishing speaking, the dead ghost wizard left without looking back.

"What do you mean? Stop for me..."

Glori staggered forward a few steps before falling to the ground weakly.

Looking at the dead ghost wizard who had disappeared from sight, Glori beat the ground unwillingly.

"Damn! Damn! Damn——"

The battle with the Ghost Death Wizard ended with her fiasco.

She lost.

Lost very badly.

In the hands of the Ghost Death Wizard, she is powerless to fight back.

She knew she was no match for the Ghost Death Wizard.

She is a newly promoted official wizard who has just been promoted to the first level, and she still uses the weakest Psychic system in the early stage. It is normal for her to not be able to defeat the ghost wizard who has lived for more than 300 years.

She had never thought of defeating the Ghost Death Wizard, all she needed to do was to restrain the Ghost Death Wizard, and wait for Prima Wizard and Ermi Wizard in the prison tree world to decide the winner.

It is very normal for battles between evenly matched first-level wizards to last for hours or even days and nights without external interference.

She is weaker than the Ghost Death Wizard, but it is still possible to restrain her for ten or twenty minutes, right?
She thought so.

She has such confidence.

However, she thought that she was already modest enough, but when she really fought with the Ghost Death Wizard, she found that her previous thoughts were still too naive!

She has a fatal error in judging the strength of other official wizards!
This can't be blamed on her, she doesn't have the ability to see the strength of other people in advance like the Eye of Reality or the Evidence of Two Souls, she can only rely on experience to know how strong the enemy is.

And she has very little experience.

When she was an apprentice wizard, she was not qualified to see the full strength of a formal wizard.

She has just become an official wizard, and she hasn't had time to compete with other official wizards to accumulate experience in fighting official wizards.

It is often said that if a person's strength expands violently in a short period of time, it is easy to lose sight of his own position.

Glory is at this stage.

Then she felt confident that she could hold back the dead ghost wizard for ten to twenty minutes. When the ghost dead wizard only used seven ashes and bone spirits, and hadn't even used half of her real strength, she could hold her back in a few minutes. It failed miserably.

If it weren't for Roja's face, she would have died at the hands of the ghost death wizard.

"I will definitely grow up!"

"I will definitely become stronger than anyone else!"

Glory put her hands on the ground, clutching the soil under her body with both hands, and the sand between her nails was filled with regret.

……

Shadow City.

The battle in the Prison Tree Realm has reached its final stage.

Both Wizard Prima and Wizard Ermi put out all their skills and bet all the means they had.

With the strength of the two, if the battle is held on a fair place, it is impossible to tell the winner within a few hours.

And if anyone wants to escape, the other can't stop it at all.

However, this time the battle is within the cage tree boundary.

The magic power and spiritual power of the two of them are absorbed and absorbed by Roja's bloodline talent all the time.

Even if they didn't do anything and stayed quietly in the cage tree world, within half an hour they would all be sucked dry as formal wizards.

And in fierce battles, because they couldn't distract themselves from resisting the absorption of life and soul, the loss of magic power and spiritual power was even more serious.

So in less than 10 minutes, both of them had reached the end of their battle.

The two people, who had bottomed out their magical power and spiritual power, couldn't even use witchcraft and witchcraft. They could only use the simplest and primitive fists to fight to the death.

drink!
what!
In the end, in close combat, Prima Wizard was even better.

Boom!
Wizard Prima used his body weight to press Wizard Ermi under him, pinching Wizard Ermi's head with both hands and exerting all his strength.

Click!Click!Click! ——

There were continuous crackling sounds from Wizard Ermi's skull.

When the number of cracks on the skull reached a certain level, Wizard Ermi's head shattered in an instant, and the red and white residue splashed around like a broken watermelon.

Before dying, Wizard Ermi cursed Wizard Prima in hatred, "You will come down to accompany me soon! Haha, you won't live long!"

As the spiritual fragments that Wizard Ermi wanted to escape were absorbed by the soul, Wizard Ermi died completely.

The lord of Shadow Shadow City, Wizard Ermi, who has lived for hundreds of years, is powerful, and has countless means of saving his life, has fallen.

……

The Ghost Death Wizard in the distance sensed the death of Wizard Ermi, and heaved a long sigh helplessly.

When he set off from Dead Sand City to Shadow City, he did act with the idea of ​​saving Wizard Ermi.

But he cared more about his own life than saving Wizard Ermi.

He was in no rush to beat Glori when facing Glorie's interception.

While wrestling with Glory, he spent most of his mind observing Roja.

If Roja devotes all his energy to maintaining the cage tree world, then he can try to save Wizard Ermi.

But he found that it was very easy for Roja to maintain the cage tree world!
"Is this the strength of Roja who can defeat the Son of the Abyss?"

"At the same level, I am as weak as an ant in front of him."

If he dares to attack, Roja dares to kill him!
Knowing this, the dead ghost wizard resolutely gave up.

After he defeated Glori and returned to Dead Sand City, he spent a few minutes packing up some precious and valuable things, and then left as if fleeing.

He didn't dare to continue to stay in the tomb of the country's subjugated disaster.

Although he has no enmity with Roja, who can guarantee that Roja will not move his target to him after killing Wizard Ermi?

In the past, even if he knew that Roja wanted to deal with him, he would not take it to heart.

He has Dead Sand City, and he is not afraid of the second-level wizard coming. Need to be afraid of Roja?
However, Wizard Ermi, who was as confident as him, died tragically under Roja's calculations.

Is he stronger than Wizard Ermi?

Is his Death Sand City more powerful than Shadow City?
Without this self-confidence, the dead ghost wizard had no choice but to leave quickly in order to survive.

If he had prepared in advance and wasn't as careless as Wizard Ermi was at the beginning, there would still be no problem with saving his life, right?

In theory it looks like this.

But he didn't want to gamble on the one in ten thousand possibility, because——

Alive is the most important thing!
……

The cage tree world began to wither.

The birdcage of despair covering the entire Shadow City began to crumble.

Shadow City has been reduced to ruins due to the battle between Wizard Prima and Wizard Ermi.

There are steaming deep pits everywhere, with unsolidified magma flowing inside.

The ravines plowed out by supersonic movement spread all over the city like spider webs.

Looking around, there is not a single intact building in Shadow City.

Wizard Prima dragged his tired body and walked towards Roja step by step.

After the battle with Wizard Ermi, Wizard Prima, who has reached the limit physically and mentally, looks like a candle that is gradually melting under high temperature.

Every step he took, hot and viscous molten iron dripped from his body.

He keeps walking.

He wanted to stop and rest, but dared not.

Roja looked at him with folded arms not far away, his eyes were so indifferent, as if he was looking at a dead person.

The distance between him and Roja is just a few kilometers, and with his strength as a first-level wizard, he should have been able to cross it in a few breaths.

But for some reason, he instinctively felt that he would never be able to reach Roja's side in his lifetime.

call!
The wind howled.

A figure of Miaoman descended from the sky, hovering over Wizard Prima.

Glory's slightly curly long black hair was floating in the wind, and the cold killing intent vented from her body, pressing heavily on Wizard Prima.

The battle between Glory and the Ghost Death Wizard cost a lot of money and suffered heavy injuries, but her condition was much better than that of Prima Wizard.

In the current state of the wizard Prima, Glory wanted to kill him easily.

Wizard Prima condensed the last trace of magical power in his hands, wanting to resist before dying.

But after hesitating for a moment, he dissipated the magic from his hands.

It wasn't that he wanted to die, it was that he knew that if Roja really wanted to kill him, he would have no power to resist.

He looked straight at Roja, opened his mouth and asked with the last bit of strength: "You want to kill me?"

Because Wizard Prima was too tired, his voice was very soft, not much louder than a mosquito, but he believed Roja could hear it.

Roja didn't answer, but just stared at Wizard Prima indifferently with his arms folded.

Behind Roja, the last rays of the setting sun shone on the vast land.

"Haha, hahaha..."

"Is that so? Is my dignified Prima first-level wizard going to end up like this?"

Wizard Prima glared at Roja, "You want to kill me? Do it yourself and give me the last dignity. I don't want to die at the hands of a little girl."

Roja didn't answer.

Glory, who was suspended in mid-air, snorted coldly and said:
"I really want to kill you, but Lord Roja has signed a contract with you and said that he will not kill you."

"I will never disobey Lord Roja's order."

"So I won't kill you, I'll just abolish you and make you an ordinary old man."

"Don't worry, we will take good care of you while you lose your strength."

He was obviously spared, but Wizard Prima became even more angry.

He had lived to the end of his lifespan as a First Class Wizard, and could live on for decades purely because he was a First Class Wizard.

If he becomes an ordinary person, he will die of old age within a few months.

Instead of becoming a cripple and dying of old age, he would rather die vigorously in the hands of Roja!

"Roja! If you dare, kill me!"

Wizard Prima roared hoarsely with the last bit of strength.

Glory waved her hand in mid-air, and the invisible force that could crush even steel rushed towards Wizard Prima.

but--

Glory stopped suddenly.

"Master Roja, why?" Glori was puzzled, "We just abolished him, not killed him, and we didn't violate the contract at all, did we?"

Roja shook his head slightly and said:
"I am a person who keeps my promises. It should be said that I am a person who keeps my promises as much as possible."

"If I was forced to make an oath by others, if I had to make a promise, as long as there was a slight chance, I would find loopholes and violate the agreement, and if I could not abide by it, I would not abide by it."

"But if I have the advantage and I take the initiative to make an oath, even if this oath is not good for me, I will not violate it."

Roja stared at Prima and said: "He is hateful, he deserves to die, but I won't kill him, and I won't abolish him opportunistically."

Roja's words made Wizard Prima very surprised.

He had already prepared that Roja might violate the contract and kill him, but Roja's strength was too strong, so he had to cooperate with Roja.

Especially when he knew that Roja would still be able to kill Wizard Ermi without him.

Roja can kill Wizard Ermi without him, so why bring him?Isn't it just to see his sincerity?

It now appears that his sincerity is in place.

Roja was satisfied.

"Haha, hahaha..." Wizard Prima smiled happily because he was able to survive.

Glory on the side looked at Wizard Prima with a frosty face. She wanted to kill Wizard Prima so much, but she had to stop because of Roja's order.

After Glory glared at Wizard Prima unwillingly, she landed beside Roja.

"From now on, our grievances and grievances will be wiped out." The Prima wizard who survived the catastrophe smiled happily, "I have returned to the Tallinn Empire..."

Whoosh!
"Uh?"

Wizard Prima looked at the watermelon-sized hole that suddenly appeared in his chest in surprise.

The attack came from behind him.

Didn't Roja say to let him go?

why still...

Isn't it Roja?

who is it?

Wizard Prima looked back with difficulty, and when he saw who killed him, his face was full of disbelief.

"Muhua? Why?"

The one who shot and killed Wizard Prima was actually from the Tallinn Empire, the land of forests, and was a close friend with Wizard Prima. The only wizard in the Six Kingdoms, Wizard Muhua!
"Why?" Wizard Prima shook his head, not believing that Wizard Muhua would betray him at all.

Wizard Muhua sighed.

Judging from his expression, he was very heartbroken by the death of his best friend Prima wizard, but he still made a move.

Wizard Muhua looked up at the sky, recalling all the things between him and Wizard Prima in the past.

"Prima, we've known each other since we were kids."

"You are a willful and arrogant person who doesn't take other people's lives and advice seriously, and only acts according to his own will."

"Because of your character, I don't know how many people have been killed, and I don't know how many times I have fallen into desperate situations."

"It's a miracle that the two of us survived and became official wizards together."

"Don't look at me complaining about you all the time, in fact, I am very envious of your character."

"I also want to be a man who can do whatever he wants like you."

"But……"

Wizard Muhua sighed, "People will change, hundreds of years, you have worn out my patience."

"This incident was the final straw that broke our relationship."

Wizard Muhua came to Wizard Prima and sat down beside Wizard Prima who was lying powerlessly on the ground.

"The day of accumulating demons is coming, but you have not prepared anything, and have not given a chance to our country that has lived for hundreds of years."

"When the siege of Roja failed, I had already started to prepare for how to apologize to Roja, but you didn't do anything."

"When I took out the second-level witch medicine true dragon blood embryo, I knew you didn't have such a precious thing, but I still hope that you can take out the corresponding treasure and give it to Roja, and ask Roja to forgive us both. personal."

"And you didn't."

"You must know that when Roja was besieged and killed, although I was not present, I did a lot of work behind the scenes. The three of us have enmity with Roja."

"Why do you only think about yourself?"

"But didn't you think about me?"

Wizard Muhua caressed his old friend's face lightly, "You think we are close friends, and we used to be. But all the time you just took from me blindly, and never thought of giving me anything."

"Later I understood that the relationship between you and me is just a close friend, but in fact the relationship between master and servant."

Wizard Muhua stood up, the last trace of sadness dissipated from his eyes.

He looked down at Wizard Prima and said indifferently, "Goodbye, my former best friend."

Wizard Prima looks at Wizard Muhua who betrayed him.

He didn't expect that what he had done over the years would cause such great harm to his friend.

He wanted to laugh and forgive each other before dying.

However, his heart could not deceive him.

He hated the betrayal of Wizard Muhua!
He hated the wizard Muhua for killing him!

At the end of his life, his throat wriggled and his mouth opened forcefully, trying to...

Finally he closed his eyes helplessly.

At the last moment of his life, he still wanted to give dignity to their centuries-old friendship.

Wizard Prima died, at the hands of Wizard Muhua.

Roja nodded to Wizard Muhua and said, "The five-nation merger ceremony will be held a year later. You should go back to the Tallinn Empire, the country of forest, to prepare."

Wizard Muhua picked up Wizard Prima's body, said goodbye to Roja, and turned to leave.
