Nurturing Humanity

Chapter 55: The Eve of the Storm in the Sorcery World

After this day, Queen Lilith suddenly withdrew all of the training resources and used them only for her own cultivation.

Previously, when Lilith had made no progress in her cultivation in the Babylon Kingdom, she decided to give up on the consumption of resources and instead try to train new talents, hoping that they could one day take her place. But how could she find such a genius so easily?

Even the fastest orthodox witch had only just broken through to level five sorcerer recently. She was still far behind Lilith, who was a veteran level five sorcerer.

“The queen has taken back all the resources. Does this mean that she is going to make a breakthrough and become a legendary level six sorcerer?”

“What a great honor for our Babylon Kingdom!”

Some of the elders had burst into tears.

“We orthodox witches have hope again. As long as we have a level six sorcerer among us, we might be able to fight against Medusa, the Great Lord of Death. After all, she has yet to break through to level seven.”

“Throughout history, a level seven legendary sorcerer has only ever existed in theory! It is not that easy to break through to level seven. Back then, before the three witches died, even they were not able to open this realm. Wouldn’t the Great Lord of Death be the only one who has such talent? However, how can it be so easy for her to come out?”

….

The information regarding the existence of Li Shengjiang was completely blocked.

Everyone had thought that Lilith was going to make a breakthrough. As for Lilith, she was a very decisive and cruel person who devoted all her resources to her entire kingdom. All kinds of books left behind by the three witches were free to be read by others. Whatever someone might need, she was willing to satisfy all requests.

No one knew that she was actually doing everything for this creature who was the weakest of them all, the slime.

Year 341 of the Babylon Kingdom.

Even with the complete exhaustion of all the power in the entire kingdom, Lilith remained a level five witch. The people of Babylon were disappointed and lost all hope.

Year 362 at the Babylon Kingdom.

Lilith once again consumed large amounts of resources, however, she still had not made a breakthrough. People no longer had any expectations of her.

“Queen Lilith, if you are unable to make a breakthrough yourself, why force it? We can always cultivate new people. It might be possible for a second genius to appear in our Babylon Kingdom.”

“That’s right. With these resources, even if they are used wastefully, we should still be able to cultivate a few level five sorcerers!”

This year, the people of Babylon were completely disappointed with their great queen, Lilith.

Year 381 at the Babylon Kingdom.

There was a sudden flash of thunder in the sky above the Babylon Kingdom.

The people on the streets all raised their heads in a daze. The weather, which was originally a clear sky that stretched for tens of thousands of miles, had large clouds that were rapidly gathering in the sky, forming a vortex.

“What is that?!” someone shouted in surprise.

Everyone was stunned, and those who were still inside their houses all ran out. There was even a man who held a baby in his arms.

In the originally cloudless sky, more and more dark clouds started to gather.

“Dark clouds? Is it going to rain soon?”

Lilith was standing on the roof of the palace. She held a wooden cane in her hand, as the terrifying pressure made it difficult for her to lift her head and look up at the sky.

“No! Those are not clouds!” Lilith suddenly trembled and whispered as she held her cane.

“That is!… That is actually!”

The large white clouds in the sky rolled around as if they had been stained black by ink, creating a huge black exquisite rotten rose which suddenly started to float in the sky. It formed a vortex which quickly gathered the clouds. In front of the huge rose stood a beautiful small woman wearing a crimson sorcerer’s robe. She was holding a wooden cane in her hand, as she stood in the sky, overlooking the entire Palace of Babylon.

“The Flower of Death.”

Medusa, the Great Lord of Death, descended to Babylon, waving the rose cane high in the air. The sky was dark, as there was an endless vast expanse of magic that stirred the entire blue sky. A huge black rose was about to fall onto the whole kingdom.

Before it completely descended, the wind howled, and a wave of pressure fell onto Lilith.

Pft!

Lilith trembled in the air, as death came in an instant.

However, the pressure then suddenly disappeared the next second.

“Too weak.” Medusa strolled across the sky with a crimson rose cane in her hand. In the end, she only took one last look at Lilith with a face full of disappointment, before she left once again.

“It’s such a pity. You were once worthy of being an enemy back then, however, you have now fallen to this extent. I heard that you were collecting the resources originally used for strengthening the kingdom and I thought you were finally going to break through to a new realm.”

The sound of her voice drifted away and disappeared in the sky.

“During the Age of the Three Witches, the three of them constantly tested each other’s skill. However, during the Age of the Great Lord Medusa, I was very lonely. I have suppressed the entire world, ruled it for more than 200 years by myself. I wanted to find an opponent but could not find one. No one can contend against me. This has made me unable to step out of the level seven legendary field. It is not only my sorrow but also the failure of the times.”

The power she had displayed was at a level terrifying level that even the three witches back then had not reached.

During that time, the three witches had only opened up the way towards being a level six sorcerer before they died. Therefore, they had not reached the peak of level six. However, the current fear brought about by this sense of suppression was extremely powerful.

“She has completely surpassed the three witches of those years! Although she has not stepped into the legendary level seven legendary realm yet, she has already reached an unfathomable state.” Lilith was trembling, as she tightened her lips. Blood started to flow out. “Can we really defeat this monster?!”

“I… I don’t know.”

In the secret alchemy room inside the Palace, a round and naïve looking Slime shook the ahoge on its head and looked up with difficulty. “I had thought that I was very close already. I am now a level five sorcerer. According to my speculation, while wearing the Grantham body and sitting on the alchemy airship fortress, I should be able to fight the three witches back then. But now she… Give me another 10 years!”

“10 years?”

Lilith was silent as her eyes flashed with hope. “I will continue to bear the blame and fight to get everything for you.”

10 years later, the world would change!

Lilith’s eyes sparkled with flames.

The Age of Darkness had lasted for nearly 200 years in the Babylon Kingdom. If this does not come to an end soon, then the kingdom would be completely destroyed.

The Babylon Kingdom had bet everything on this Slime!

“That’s all for today’s research.” Li Shengjiang suddenly jumped and left. “I need to go back to the Freemasonry. As their little pet is gone, I’m sure they will be very worried.”

Lilith’s entire body suddenly trembled. She looked at his back and whispered, “You are already so strong, yet you still want to go to those little witches and allow them to mess around with you and crazily squeeze you. There is no dignity of a strong man… Why do you still turn yourself into a level three sorcerer, a little pet, and struggle with them?”

“It’s because that place is my home.” Li Shengjiang jumped up and naively left the palace. “All my relatives died early in my previous life and this life, so they are the only relatives I have.”

Lilith was silent.

She did not doubt his answer regarding his relatives, because it was true that the Slime race had been ravaged by the Rose Kingdom. This King of Slime and she had the same enemy.

“Home? I really envy those little girls. As for you Grantham, the King of Alchemy, I also envy you for having people to worry about…”

Lilith just smiled bitterly and gently, as she watched the cute little creature leave.

“Garfield, you probably have lived a hard life all these years as well, right?”

She suddenly went into a daze. She looked up at the sky and stared blankly at the window.

Lilith’s mind seemed to have remembered that knight back then, who had been silently protecting her by her side. He was her former lover, and now had become the king of Rose Kingdom.

“If, everything is over…” She burst into tears, as glittering teardrops rolled down her face. “Once that happens, I will resign from the throne of Babylon and retire to the mountains with Garfield.”

At this time, a witch minister appeared behind her.

“Should the next batch of resources be brought over?”

“Bring them.”

Lilith abruptly turned her head, showing a cold expression.

The Queen of Babylon was not allowed to shed tears.

…

At the other place.

The Elizabeth Witch Freemasonry.

Everyone was still inside that shabby little room. Elizabeth and the others looked out of the room nervously and anxiously.

Suddenly, a cute bouncing creature appeared on the street outside.

“You have finally returned!”

“Why are did you go out for a walk all day? It is very dangerous out there.”

“That’s right. You are just a level three sorcerer. There are too many strong people outside. Medusa, the Great Lord of the Dead, had just descended at the Palace of Babylon and had blocked out the sun. That terrifying sorcery can probably destroy the entire Babylon Kingdom in an instant. Us sisters almost cried from fear. We were afraid that something might have happened to you outside.”

A group of cute little witches picked up the cute Slime while feeling distressed. They squeezed the Slime in their arms, while speaking one after another.

“I’m fine. I just went out for a stroll.”

Li Shengjiang smiled brilliantly and bounced foolishly. The ahoge on the top of his head shook cutely.

No one knew that the cute little pet had a terrifying strength, not even the little witches of the Witch Freemasonry. This little cute Slime was the only hope of saving the entire Babylon Sorcery Kingdom!
