dark witches rise

Roya held the tea cup.

While sipping tea, he looked at the two messengers from the Demon Hunter organization.

He looked at Lu Lin first.

Lu Lin was tall and thin, and his body was as black as carbon without a single pore.

When he noticed Roja's gaze, Lu Lin lowered his eyebrows, showing a compliment that he didn't dare to meet Roja's eyes.

Then, Roja's eyes fell on Siqi.

As a veteran second-level wizard who has lived for 800 years, Siqi looks like a primary school student.

She has a delicate and lovely face, dark and healthy skin, and an innocent smile all year round.

If people who don't know the truth see her on the road, they will definitely think that she is a cute elementary school student who got lost somewhere.

It was different from Lu Lin who lowered his eyebrows and didn't dare to look at him.

As soon as Siqi entered the hall, she looked at him with sparkling eyes.

It seemed that as long as he beckoned, Siqi would immediately pounce on him, checking his body without any scruples.

For the purpose of the two of them, Roja knew.

When the Saint Luo Empire was first established, the demon hunter organization in the Devil's Palm sent envoys to express goodwill to him.

But at that time, although he had good potential, it was not enough to make people pay special attention.

Therefore, the Demon Hunter organization only extended goodwill to him and did not offer further cooperation to him.

It's just that after he returned from Magic Machine Academy as a second-level wizard...

Wreak havoc in the endless wild forest, defeat wizard Andre, meet wizard Hemo, and become friends with wizard Berecy, but the mere second-level wizard can be on an equal footing with the third-level wizard.

Almost all wizard forces' assessment of Roja has changed!
The Demon Hunter Organization is no exception.

Back then, their opinion of Roja was—"A genius with potential for cooperation, they can give Roja a chance to cooperate."

Now, what they think of Roja is—"A second-level wizard with great strength is a partner who must be won even at a huge price!"

Back then, Roja knew very little about the Devil's Palm.

But he is no longer what he used to be.

He knew what was going on in the continent of Devil's Palm, and what the Demon Hunter Organization asked him to cooperate with.

It's just that he didn't take the initiative to reveal it.

"Two envoys, I have been too busy these days, so I am really sorry for the delay in receiving you." Roja picked up the teacup and punished himself, "I don't know the two envoys from the Demon Hunter Organization, What is it that came all the way from the Devil's Palm Continent to our Saint Luo Empire?"

Siqi and Lu Lin looked at each other.

In the end it was decided that Siqi would speak.

After Si Qi cleared her throat, she said:
"Emperor Roja, you have reached the peak of the second level. You should consider advancing to the third level next, right?"

Roja drank his tea silently and did not reply.

Siqi continued:

"The three realms of level three, level four, and level five are known as the Trilogy of Ascension to God."

"Level three, get the spirit of the demon god."

"Level four, gain the physique of a demon god."

"Level five, attaining the realm of a demon god."

"The spirit of the demon god, the physique of the demon god, and the realm of the demon god, the combination of the three can become a real demon god!"

"From the second to the third level, it is a qualitative change."

"It's the transformation from a human to a demon!"

"No matter how strong the second-level wizard is, he can only be called a mortal."

"No matter how weak the third-level wizard is, they are all false gods."

"The third-level realm is used as the starting point for stepping into the ladder of gods. I don't know how many second-level wizards have been stopped, and I don't know how many second-level wizards fell short at the last moment."

Saying that, Siqi suddenly stood up.

She propped her hands on the table, leaned forward, and looked straight at Roja.

"As Emperor Roja, the most famous genius in the Shenwa Wuyu Territory, your goal is definitely not to stop at the second level?"

"I don't know if you already have a plan to advance to the third level?"

"If not, the Nightmare Realm in the palm of our devil might be a good choice."

"I hope you can think about it carefully, Emperor Roja."

After speaking, Siqi let out a long breath and sat back in her seat.

Roja drank his tea with an indifferent expression and didn't know what he was thinking.

Under the nervous gazes of Siqi, Lu Lin, and Glory, Roja thought for a few minutes before speaking, "The nightmare world in the palm of the devil? I don't know much about it. Can you introduce it to me?"

Faced with this problem, Siqi immediately patted her chest and said there was no problem.

"Emperor Roja, have you heard of hell?"

"Hell is also called purgatory, or the devil's realm, and sometimes it's also called the underworld."

"Hell is the habitat of demons. It is rumored that there are as many as 660 layers."

"The ruler of each level of hell is called the Lord of Hell, and the essence of each level of hell is formed by the mind world of the Lord of Hell."

"That is to say, the weakest hell monarch has the strength of the fifth level true god."

"It's just that there are too many powerful people in hell and the competition is too fierce. If you want to become the king of hell, you may not even be able to reach the sixth level."

"So the fifth-level hell monarch only exists in legends."

"The Lords of Hell are generally level [-] or level [-] demons, and the four Dukes of Hell are level [-] demon gods."

"But except for the eighth-level demon gods in the Eternal Realm, those who are as strong as the sixth-level and seventh-level demons will inevitably die."

"It may be killed by hostile demons, it may be hunted by wizards, it may reach the end of its lifespan and die of old age."

"The dead kings of hell, their mental worlds are naturally removed from the sixth floor of hell 660."

"However, although the demon who was the pioneer died, the mental world will not collapse for a while."

"If it is maintained well, the mind world can even continue to exist for tens of thousands of years after the death of the pioneer."

Said, Siqi smiled slightly.

"I believe that Emperor Roja, you have all heard of the rumor that there is a passage to hell on the continent of Devil's Palm, right?"

"This rumor is half true and half false."

"Really, we do have a gateway to 'hell.'"

"The false thing is that the hell we lead to, the demon lord inside has long since died, leaving only an empty shell in the whole world."

"Do you know what kind of existence the dead demon monarch was?"

"It's a sixth-level demon belonging to the Nightmare Nightmare family!"

"It's a spiritual demon!"

"In the Nightmare Realm created by this sixth-level succubus, there are many props that can increase spiritual power."

"Among them, there are treasures that can allow a second-level wizard to sublimate his spiritual power and gain spiritual power to step into the third-level realm!"

Listening to Siqi's introduction, Roja's interest in Nightmare Realm increased greatly.

Although he knew a lot of information about the Devil's Palm and the Nightmare Realm, these information were all heard from others. How could the accuracy and detail of the information compare to Siqi, a second-level powerhouse from the Devil's Palm?

So he asked a lot of questions about the nightmare world.

For example, would the Nightmare Realm be a dangerous world created by a level [-] Nightmare?
For example, how could such a powerful existence in the Nightmare Realm be controlled by a group of demon hunters that didn't even have third-level wizards?

For example, what are the products of spiritual power in the Nightmare Realm? Is it difficult to obtain treasures that can help second-level wizards advance to the third-level realm?

Roja asked one question after another, and Siqi answered Roja one by one.

"Emperor Roja, what do you think our demon hunter organization is like?"

"A group of weaklings who don't want to be wizards and make a living by hunting monsters?"

"you are wrong!"

"The word 'demon hunter' in the demon hunter organization refers to hunting demons!"

"The Demon Hunter is an organization that specializes in hunting demons!"

"The demon hunter organization in the palm of the devil is just a small branch of the entire demon hunter organization."

"When the Nightmare Realm was first discovered, the powerful demons in it were killed by the strong men in our demon hunter organization, and all the valuable things in it were looted."

"Even the remains of the dead sixth-level succubus have been removed."

"In today's Nightmare Realm, the strongest demons are only level two."

"But don't underestimate this level two."

"They all have pure demon blood, and their strength is definitely the top existence in the same realm."

"If it were at its full strength, every second-level demon pulled out of it would be comparable to you, Emperor Roja."

"However, due to environmental damage, lack of inheritance... and so on, the strength of those demons is incomplete, and they can't reach the theoretical state at all."

"But it shouldn't be taken lightly."

"Due to the suppression of rules in the Nightmare Realm, the strength of wizards entering the Nightmare Realm will be greatly weakened."

"A wizard without a domain enters the Nightmare Realm, and he will die directly under the suppression of the rules."

"As for the number of places in the Nightmare Realm..."

"After the death of the Demon Lord, the Nightmare Realm is gradually collapsing."

"When wizards like us enter the nightmare world, we will be suppressed by the rules of the nightmare world, and our strength will be greatly weakened."

"At the same time, our existence will bring great pressure to the nightmare world and accelerate the collapse of the nightmare world."

"In order to prevent the Nightmare Realm from collapsing early, the number of people entering the Nightmare Realm is limited..."

Su Qi suddenly let out a long sigh.

"I think back then the door to the nightmare world was always open, and there was no limit to the number of people."

"You can venture in whenever you want."

"Slowly, the opening time of the gate is getting shorter and shorter, and the number of people who can enter each time is getting smaller and smaller."

"Until now, it can only be opened once every 30 years, and no more than ten second-level wizards can enter each time."

"In a few hundred years, the Nightmare Realm will completely collapse."

Siqi said a lot.

But there is only one thing that Roja really cares about.

"Every time the nightmare world opens, how many people finally come out alive and become third-level wizards?" Roja asked.

"This..." Siqi's eyebrows frowned all of a sudden, "It may be because the nightmare world is about to collapse, and the demons inside are acting more and more crazy, and the nightmare world is more and more dangerous every time it is opened."

"Since 100 years ago, no wizard has successfully obtained the third-level spiritual substance from the nightmare world."

"The last time ten people went in, only three came out alive..."

Roja, who didn't have much interest in the Nightmare Realm, lost his interest immediately when he heard this.

The things in the nightmare world have a fatal attraction for most second-level wizards, but that second-level wizard does not include Roja.

Because it is not difficult for him to advance to the third level.

He only needs to cultivate the "Vegetation Tree Ring" to five thousand layers, and then directly hold the third-level promotion ceremony, and he will be able to successfully become a third-level wizard.

No need for foreign objects at all!

In fact, he is holding a three-level promotion ceremony now, and the success rate will not be less than [-]%.

If you spend some time refining third-level and fourth-level potions in exchange for promotion items, the success rate can approach the ninth floor.

Whether it is cultivating the "Vegetation Tree Ring" to the [-]th level, or refining medicines in exchange for promotion items, there is no risk for Roja.

Why take the risk when there are safer paths to follow?
He has never been an adventurous person.

He is willing to meet Siqi and listen to Siqi and the others tell about the Nightmare Realm, just because he is interested in the Nightmare Realm itself.

As for venturing into the nightmare world?

There has been no harvest in 100 years. The last time ten people went in, only three came out alive...

Whoever wants to go to such a ghost place will go.

He will not accompany you!
Because Roja did not hide his inner thoughts.

So even though Roja didn't open his mouth to refuse, Siqi Lulin and the two still clearly felt what Roja wanted to express.

The reason why Luo Ya didn't express his refusal clearly was because he was waiting for Siqi and others' bargaining chips.

Because he can see that the Demon Hunter Organization has made sufficient preparations to invite him to cooperate this time, and must have prepared a bargaining chip that can make his heart beat.

As for whether this bargaining chip can really move his heart, we can only know when they take it out.

Luo Ya drank tea silently, motioning Siqi to continue talking.

If you have chips, take them out.

No?

Then you can get out!
Sensing Roja's attitude, Si Qi's expression suddenly became extremely serious.

Because she knows that the next step is the key to success or failure!

"The nightmare world is about to collapse."

"Facing the collapse of the Nightmare Realm, what is most anxious is not us, but the demons living in the Nightmare Realm."

"Some of those demons are descendants of the sixth-level succubi, and some are creatures of the mind world. They all have an extremely close relationship with the demon king who created the nightmare world."

"Once the Nightmare Realm collapses, they will suffer the most."

"In order to maintain the Nightmare Realm, they gathered the power of all the demons in the Nightmare Realm, and held an extremely ancient demon ceremony without our knowledge."

"Use this ancient ritual to resurrect a 'demon lord' who can maintain the Nightmare Realm!"

"Of course, this 'Demon Lord' is fake."

"We call this new 'Demon Lord' the Nightmare Lord!"

"The Nightmare Lord is just a carrier with enormous power."

"In a sense, it has power comparable to that of a demon god, but its combat effectiveness is far inferior."

"The existence of this Nightmare Lord is like..."

"Just like the blood embryo of the demon god."

"As long as the Nightmare Lord can be captured, using the power of the Nightmare Lord can not only allow the second-level wizard to step into the third-level realm smoothly, but also raise the cultivation level to the peak of the third-level realm in one fell swoop!"

"And the strength of mental power is far higher than that of ordinary third-level wizards!"

Siqi looked directly into Roja's eyes, and said word by word: "As long as you agree to this cooperation, Nightmare Lord can give it to you!"

Roja did not expect that there is such a thing as the Nightmare Lord in the Nightmare Realm.

According to Siqi, the Nightmare Lord is equivalent to the Demon God's blood embryo?

Moreover, by using the Nightmare Lord to advance to the third level, you can break through the third level and at the same time, your cultivation level can be directly raised to the top of the third level, which can save thousands of years of hard work.

Not only that, but his mental power will be stronger than other level three wizards.

How many people can endure this temptation?
In Roja's original plan, after becoming a level-1000 wizard, it would take about [-] to [-] years to reach the peak of level-[-].

With Nightmare Lord, this period of hundreds of years can be omitted directly.

As soon as he becomes a third-level wizard, he can immediately hit the fourth-level realm.

Maybe he can become a fourth-level wizard before the age of five hundred?
Become a fifth-level wizard before a thousand years old?

This temptation is too great!

Even someone as cautious as Roja is willing to take risks!

However, although this Nightmare Lord is far less powerful than the real Demon God, it is conclusive that he possesses the power of the Demon God.

The strength of a guy with the power of a demon god is absolutely beyond imagination.

Siqi compared Nightmare Lord to the blood embryo of a demon god...

Roja has seen the strength of the demon blood embryo before.

Under the siege of twelve third-level wizards, seven third-level wizards were forced to retreat, leaving the remaining five third-level wizards seriously injured.

If the Nightmare Lord had the strength of the Demon God's Blood Embryos...

If he entered with this little strength, he was going to die!

As for how strong Nightmare Lord is, you must inquire carefully!
Facing Roja's question, Siqi was well prepared.

"Existences like the Nightmare Lord are not uncommon in the Demon Realm where the Demon Lord died."

"As an organization that specializes in hunting demons, our Demon Hunter organization has many relevant records."

"As for the strength of the Nightmare Lord, it's probably at the level of a low-level third-level wizard."

"As Emperor Roja who defeated Wizard Andre, you can defeat the Nightmare Lord one-on-one, let alone have teammates to help you?"

"So you don't have to worry too much."

"If you are still worried, as long as you agree to cooperate, we can let you browse the top-secret information about the Nightmare Lord within our demon hunter organization."

"Even the arrangement method of the ancient demonic ritual that made the Nightmare Lord is in our collection, and we can let you check it out."

"If you find that we lied to you, you can terminate the contract at any time."

Facing Siqi's sincere words, Roja was already completely moved.

He has decided to cooperate with the Witcher Organization.

Let's explore the Nightmare Realm together and hunt the Nightmare Lord together.

However, the details of the cooperation will continue to be discussed.

For example--

"When will the Nightmare Realm open next time?" Roja asked.

"Just 20 years later!" Siqi, who knew that Luo Ya was ready to agree to cooperate, immediately replied.

"Year 20?"

Roja touched his chin and thought.

He will spend the next 20 years refining the third-level potion Ice Soul Dragon Crystal for Fernanda.

In other words, as soon as he refines the Ice Soul Dragon Crystal, he will immediately go to the Nightmare Realm to take risks?

Time is running out.

And Roja felt that with his current strength, going to the Nightmare Realm was a bit risky.

Roja does not plan to participate in the next trip to the nightmare world.

What about next time?

Nightmare Realm opens every 30 years, so 50 years later?

In 50 years, he could accumulate enough tree spirit holy liquid to practice the "Planting Tree Ring" and increase the number of "Planting Tree Ring" layers to more than [-], greatly increasing his strength.

Just do it!
"I can work with you."

"Really?"

"However, when I enter the Nightmare Realm, it will be 50 years later."

"Next time? What if we complete the Nightmare Realm strategy next time and successfully capture the Nightmare Lord, then Emperor Roja, you..."

"Then I can only consider myself unlucky."

"……All right."

Siqi, who wanted to continue persuading her, saw that Luo Ya was determined and had no choice but to give up.

Then, Luo Ya and Si Qi talked about many cooperation details.

Early the next morning.

Once the negotiations are over.

Si Qi and Lu Lin returned to the Devil's Palm to return. (end of this chapter)
