dark witches rise

Noticing that the Krulu envoy's eyes fell on him, King Biroro's body trembled, and an ominous premonition could not help but emerge in his heart.

King Biroro turned his head away, avoiding the sight of Krulu's envoy, "...Emperor Roja is so powerful, how can he be killed?"

Seeing King Biroro's performance, the Kruru envoy flashed a hint of displeasure in his eyes.

But it didn't express the unhappiness in his heart.

"Cough cough."

After it cleared its throat.

"Emperor Roja will definitely appear in the next promotion ceremony of the second-level magic plant. At that time, we..." Krulu envoy told its plan with a gloomy expression.

Hearing that the Kruru envoy had a plan to kill Emperor Roja, the other second-level dryads present immediately pricked up their ears.

Just by listening, they soon realized that something was wrong.

Doing so has a high probability of killing Emperor Roja, but the problem is to sacrifice them than the Treant Kingdom!

They have been established for thousands of years than the kingdom of the tree spirits, and they have been planning for the promotion ceremony of the second-level magic plant for thousands of years. It has finally come to this day, is it easy?
As a result, it fell short because of a word from the Kruru envoy?
Looking at the flickering eyes of King Biroro and others, can the Kruru envoy not understand what they are thinking?
It snorted coldly, and was about to severely reprimand these guys who didn't care about the righteousness of the tree spirits at all, and only thought about their own interests.

It's just that when it was about to swear, its tone suddenly softened when it came to its mouth and thought of something.

"I know you are not reconciled, but there is no better way than this."

"It's not that I want you to sacrifice, it's that I have to."

"Just imagine, with Emperor Roja here, is it possible for you to complete the promotion ceremony of the second-level magic plant?"

"It can't be done, can it?"

Seeing that King Biroro and other dryads seemed to have something to say, the Krulu messenger interrupted them and continued:
"Are you going to ask me to continue asking for help from the Ancient Spirit Hall? Ask the Ancient Spirit Hall to send more tree spirits?"

Seeing King Biroro and other dryads nodding, the Kruru envoy sneered.

"Hehe, our three second-level tree spirits and nine overlord-level monsters were all defeated in the hands of Emperor Roja. How many do you think we need to send to make the promotion ceremony of the second-level magic plant go smoothly under the obstruction of Emperor Roja?" assistance?"

"It's definitely not enough to have three second-level dryads and nine overlord-level monsters."

"Then five second-level dryads?"

"Or seven second-level dryads?"

"As the ruler of the endless wasteland, the Ancient Spirit Hall can send ten second-level dryads and thirty overlord-level monsters if they wish."

"With the full support of the Ancient Spirit Hall, even the Emperor Roja will definitely not be able to stop the promotion ceremony of the second-level magic plant in your Bita Treant Kingdom."

"The problem is that……"

"Why?"

"Why did the Ancient Spirit Hall pay such a high price for your Bita Treant Kingdom?"

"Can you come up with something of value?"

When Kruru's envoy asked, the faces of the other three second-level dryads present turned extremely pale.

That's right, why does the ancient spirit hall help them?

In order to invite three second-level dryads and nine overlord-level monsters from the ancient spirit hall to assist them this time, they have already bled heavily.

As a result, the three second-level dryads and the nine overlord-level monsters who came to the aid of the ancient spirit hall were attacked by Emperor Roja, and only one tree spirit, the envoy of Krulu, survived.

Although the promotion ceremony of the second-level magic plant has not started, the aid from the ancient spirit hall was robbed and killed by Emperor Roya, but the reward promised to the ancient spirit hall is indispensable.

It would be better to say that the Ancient Spirit Hall lost so much, and they should be thankful for not asking them for extra rewards.

Do you still want the Ancient Spirit Hall to continue supporting?

Let Ancient Spirit Hall send more experts?

Yes, yes, come up with a reward that can make Gu Lingdian's heart beat.

No?

Gu Lingdian is not a fool!
Looking at the faces of King Biroro and others, knowing that they have already figured it out, the Krulu messenger continued:
"Emperor Roja is definitely a great enemy of all the dryads in our endless wasteland!"

"He is only a second-level wizard now. He is so powerful that he has caused us such a heavy loss. After he becomes a third-level wizard in the future, what will happen?"

"If he is lucky enough to step into the fourth-level realm, we may never have peace in the endless wasteland, right?"

"So we must kill him in the cradle of growth!"

The Krulu envoy patted the table with both hands.

"Anyway, with Emperor Roja here, the second-level magic plant promotion ceremony of your Bita Treant Kingdom must have failed."

"In this case, why not make a contribution to our endless wasteland?"

"We will never forget your sacrifices."

"As long as you can successfully kill Emperor Roja, there will definitely be rewards afterwards."

After some persuasion from the Kruru envoy, King Biroro and the others could only nod in agreement with bitter faces.

They really didn't want to agree in their hearts, but what Kruru's messenger said was so reasonable, they couldn't find any faults at all.

They also want to find a plan that can not only make their second-level magic plant promotion ceremony go smoothly, but also kill Emperor Roja.

But does such a perfect solution really exist?

Life is like this many times, and there is no optimal solution at all.

They can only endure the discomfort and accept the reality.

Soon, they came to an agreement.

Kill Emperor Roja at all costs!
They discussed the details of the plan in low voices across the room.

In order to prevent the plan from being leaked again and causing Emperor Roja to escape, only the four dryads present and a few first-level dryads knew about the plan.

……

Time passes day by day.

The day for the promotion ceremony of the second-level magic plant finally arrived.

At the moment when the ceremony was officially held, the human wizards who had been waiting outside for a long time rushed in immediately.

King Biroro stood on the top of the ancient tree that was being promoted, watching the wizards who broke in to stop the ceremony from a thousand meters above the ground.

The performance of King Hulda and others of the Gray Bones Empire was exactly as it had expected at the beginning, and they could not threaten this ceremony at all.

If there were no accidents, then they would soon have a second-level magic plant than the Treant Kingdom, and become a first-class force in the endless wasteland.

but……

Looking at Emperor Roja, who used witchcraft to return to the source phantom and transformed into a three-headed hellhound, rushing unstoppably in front of it.

It clenched its teeth, and the hatred in its eyes was almost overflowing.

"Emperor Roja, if it wasn't for you..."

"If you didn't show up..."

"Damn it-"

It took a deep breath and managed to calm down.

After calming down, it communicated with the dryads such as Krulu's envoy who was secretly preparing.

It's meaningless to hate and be angry now.

Only by killing Emperor Roja can the hatred in its heart be relieved!
Seeing that Emperor Roja was less than one kilometer away from it, he was about to slam into the ancient tree under it.

Killing intent flickered in its eyes.

"Emperor Roja, go die!"

the next moment.

Gathering all the power of the Bita Treant Kingdom, it has grown to over 2000 meters, and after a while, it will become a second-level magic tree with a height of over 3000 meters.

The trunk with a diameter of hundreds of meters suddenly split open!
Like a crocodile that had been lurking for a long time seeing its prey, its terrifying mouth opened!

Inside the cracked tree trunk, there is darkness as if leading to an abyss.

Not only the people of Ashbone Empire, but also the other dryads of Bita Dryad Kingdom were stunned by this sudden change.

After all, there are only a handful of dryads who know about this plan.

"Why did the tree suddenly split?"

"What's going on? Are the dryads not planning to hold a promotion ceremony for the second-level magic plant?"

"Not good! It's a trap!"

Roja, who turned into a three-headed hellhound, looked at the ancient tree in the sky that suddenly opened a huge mouth of the abyss. How could he not know that he was tricked?
"hateful!"

Roja immediately stopped and wanted to run back.

However, the terrifying attraction coming from the depths of the tree trunk made it impossible for him to escape!
While resisting the suction force with all his strength, he walked forward step by step with difficulty.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh! ——

One after another, pitch-black roots protruded from the depths of the tree trunk, bound Roja all around, and pulled towards the tree trunk.

The power of these roots is so great that even the Overlord level Warcraft has no power to resist.

Roja was in a stalemate for a few seconds before he couldn't hold on any longer. He was bound by the roots and pulled into the tree.

At this time, the cracked opening on the trunk closed again, and the whole tree turned into a solid cage to lock Roja.

"Emperor Roja—"

"grandfather--"

"Save—"

Hearing the anxious and angry shouts of Huibone Empire and others, King Biroro sneered.

"You still want to save people? If you fall into our trap, a third-level wizard will lose a layer of skin!"

Sensing Emperor Roja who was frantically struggling inside the tree trunk, King Biroro decisively took the last step.

Turn the power of life into the power of death!

Life and death are only in one thought.

The power of life and the power of death can be converted into each other.

The plant-type magic plant has an extremely large vitality. If the vitality of the first-level magic plant is converted into magic power, it is no less than [-] million units.

The vitality contained in the second-level magic plant is hundreds or thousands of times that of the first-level magic plant!
Moreover, they still have the power of the leylines under the ground, which can continuously absorb the power of the leylines to restore their vitality.

Transforming the power of life possessed by the plant-type magic plant into the power of death, the amount obtained is extremely terrifying, and the damage that can be caused is extremely huge!
Moreover, they don't just use the power of death to attack the enemy, they will further use the power of death, transforming the power of death into a wave that can not only kill the enemy in front of them, but even if the enemy successfully escapes by means of life-saving, it can also kill the enemy. A powerful curse that entangles his life!

It's a pity that greatness is greatness, and the price is painful.

I saw that the ancient tree under King Biroro, which was full of vitality and was only one step away from becoming a second-class magic plant, was now shrouded in death.

The green leaves are withered and falling, the branches are dry and broken, and the trunk is constantly cracking...

The whole tree was filled with a breath of death.

Not only this tree, but also dozens of other first-class magic plants in the Kingdom of Bita Treant were affected.

Under the influence of this dead energy, they have lost the possibility of advancing to the second-level magic strain than all the first-level magic strains in the Tat Treant Kingdom.

They have ruined thousands of years of effort by the Treant Kingdom.

All because of...

Looking at Emperor Roja who was trapped inside the tree trunk and struggling crazily under the curse formed by the power of death, King Biroro grinned.

"Die! Die! Die!—"

"Damn Emperor Roja! Hurry up and die—"

Dozens of first-level magic plants were sacrificed and released by four second-level dryads and several first-level dryads, forming a powerful trap that even a third-level wizard would retreat a layer of skin.

Not to mention a second-level wizard?

Roja is trapped in a death cage in the tree line.

The powerful curse formed by the power of death acted on him, corroding his body and eroding his spirit.

The quality of this curse is not particularly good, but the quantity is better!
Under the powerful curse of hundreds or even hundreds of billions of units of magic power, even the strongest second-level wizards can only struggle to death step by step.

Seeing Emperor Roja who became weaker and weaker little by little, King Biroro smiled ferociously.

"What about a genius wizard?"

"What about the hopeful fourth-level realm?"

"In the end, it didn't die in my hands..."

suddenly!

King Biroro found Emperor Roja who was trapped inside the tree trunk, and for some reason his body emitted a dazzling light.

"what?"

It didn't know what Emperor Roja was doing at first.

But in the next moment, the huge body that Emperor Roja used to transform into the phantom of returning to the source suddenly exploded!
The terrifying shock wave formed by the magic power of billions of units spreads in all directions.

The powerful death cage formed by sacrificing a half-step second-level magic plant shook violently.

"Do you want to break the cage by self-destructing?"

"It's a pity that it's still a little bit worse..."

King Biroro's eyes widened instantly before he finished speaking.

Because after the self-explosion, Emperor Roja did not disappear, but used the return to the source phantom to transform into another overlord-level monster!

Then--

"Boom--"

Emperor Roja blew himself up again!

After the trunk cage withstood two self-destruct attacks, it shook even more violently.

"Fortunately, I persisted..."

Then King Bi Luoluo was happy for less than a second, and the explosion sounded again.

Rumbling--

One self-explosion, two self-explosions, three self-explosions...

"Is it over?"

"You're addicted to self-explosion, right?"

"Let me see how many bottles of overlord-level magical beast spell-casting materials you have!"

Normal self-detonation attacks would also injure himself, but Roja self-detonation one after another, it seems that there is no injury.

"Is it because his witch weapon withered and grew royal vines?"

"A witch weapon that can superimpose injury-free..."

"It's really troublesome!"

King Biroro clenched his fists.

After successfully trapping Emperor Roja, it felt that its plan to kill Emperor Roja had been 90.00% successful.

Even if Emperor Roja survived by luck, he must have been seriously injured, and there is a high probability that he will be left with injuries that will never heal in his lifetime.

Under the influence of the injury, it is likely that he will not be able to become a third-level wizard.

Even if he still becomes a third-level wizard in the end, it is absolutely impossible to reach the fourth-level realm.

However, looking at the Emperor Roja who kept exploding himself, King Biroro clenched his fists and muttered incessantly.

"It will be fine, it will definitely succeed, Emperor Roja will definitely die here..."

Under its prayer, the No. 14 self-destruction of Emperor Roja ushered in.

boom--

Following this self-explosion, the cage formed at the cost of sacrificing a half-step second-level magic plant was unexpectedly broken open by Emperor Roja!
I saw the spirit body of Emperor Roja escaped through this opening, flew to the distance at a speed that could not be caught by the naked eye, and disappeared.

"how come?"

King Biroro collapsed weakly.

They paid such a high price, sacrificing the thousands of years of accumulation of the Bita Treant Kingdom, and the result was only the destruction of the body of Emperor Roja?
Let Emperor Roja's spirit suffer a little injury?
Emperor Roja only needs a few years of training to recover?

Too tragic!

The price is too high!
Almost all the dryads in the Bita Dryad Kingdom lost their minds because of the successful escape of Emperor Roja and the failure of the promotion ceremony of the second-level magic plant.

The wizards of the Ash Empire seemed extremely excited.

"Success?"

"Get out!"

"Walk--"

The wizards who were desperately attacking the central part of the Bita Treant Kingdom before now all fled to the outside of the Bita Treant Kingdom.

In just a few minutes, not even a wizard could be seen in the Bita Treant Kingdom.

The dryads did not stop the wizard from evacuating.

They just looked at the ancient tree with a pale face, which exuded a strong dead air, and was only close to becoming a second-level magic plant.

Almost there!

They have worked hard for thousands of years, but the result is...

"woo woo woo woo……"

Tens of thousands of dryads sobbed softly, and a sad atmosphere enveloped the entire Bita dryad kingdom.

Standing on the tree trunk, King Biroro looked down at the Kingdom of the Bita Treant, looked at the messy country, and looked at the crying people. He clutched his chest in pain.

Every time the heart beats, its face distorts a bit.

It hurts so much!
It was so painful!
As the king, it was supposed to come out to comfort everyone at this time, but because of its heartache, it was difficult for it to even speak, let alone comfort others.

When King Biroro was clutching his chest, unable to stand in pain, a figure silently appeared beside it.

"Oh, it failed." The Krulu envoy looked very sad, "...Emperor Roja is too strong, really too strong..."

"But it's not irreparable."

The words of the Krulu messenger made King Biroro look up.

It asked in disbelief: "Can it be redeemed? We still have a way to kill Emperor Roja?"

"It's impossible to kill Emperor Roja, but..." the envoy Krulu gently stroked the dead tree beside him, "The promotion ceremony of the second-level magic plant is not over yet, we still have more Chance."

"This ancient tree has been infected by dead energy, and even dozens of other first-level ancient trees have lost the possibility of advancing to the second level because of the infection of dead energy..."

"No, there is still a chance!"

"Where is the opportunity?"

"Death Qi has just been born, and it hasn't penetrated deep into the interior yet. If we act now, there is still a slight possibility."

"Really?"

"If we're together... would you take a gamble?"

"Okay! Take a gamble!"

King Biroro They gathered all the dryads in the kingdom of Biroro.

Millions of dryads sat around the ancient tree, and under the guidance of Krulu's messenger, they continued to hold the promotion ceremony of the second-level magic plant.

This time without the interference of the wizard, the ceremony went smoothly.

I saw that the ancient tree that was filled with dead energy and had stopped growing, as the ceremony proceeded, the dead energy turned into vitality, and it grew slowly under the nourishment of vitality.

Is it really possible?

Seeing the ancient tree growing continuously as the ceremony progressed, King Biroro was so excited that his heart almost jumped out.

only……

Look at the old trees that grow slower and slower, and are about to stop.

"Isn't it still not working?" King Biroro sighed.

At this moment, it saw that the Krulu envoy beside him exuded a warm glow of life.

Seeing the body of Birulu envoy merging towards the ancient tree, it was stunned.

"Wait! Master Krulu, what are you doing? Stop!"

"Ahem, I'm already old, and it's meaningless for me to continue living after being killed by Emperor Roja... Why don't I dedicate my limited life to the prosperity of the tree elves... As long as I can make this two tree If the super magic plant takes shape, then all my efforts will be worth it..."

The envoy of Krulu spoke intermittently, and his body slowly merged with the ancient tree.

Seeing Kruru's envoy who would rather sacrifice himself to make the promotion ceremony of the second-level magic plant successful, all the dryads present were so moved that they were about to cry.

They were suspicious of the Krulu messenger before, thinking that what the Krulu messenger did was to avenge Emperor Roja. Who would have thought that it would be willing to sacrifice itself to fulfill them?
All for the prosperity of the Dryad?

Unexpectedly, the messenger of Kruru turned out to be such a great dryad!

They are ashamed that they doubted the character of Krulu's messenger before!

It's a pity that even if the great second-level dryad, the envoy of Krulu, died, the ancient tree in front of him is still close to stepping into the second-level state.

"We must not let Lord Kruru's sacrifice go to waste!"

"Since Lord Krulu alone is not enough, then count me in!"

"And I!"

"Me too!"

"Add me!"

One tree spirit after another stood up selflessly.

What is even more surprising is that each of these dryads has a first-level strength!

Didn't expect these strong men who are usually domineering and seem to be selfish, but now they are willing to sacrifice themselves?

After setting an example, more dryads stood up.

Ever since, the ancient tree that had stagnated in growth actually grew again.

One meter, two meters, three meters...

Slowly but unstoppably growing.

Finally, 3000 meters!

After sacrificing two second-level dryads, more than a dozen first-level dryads, and millions of ordinary dryads, the second-level ancient tree finally took shape!

Looking at the 3000-meter-high secondary ancient tree in front of them, all the remaining dryads couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Woooo, finally succeeded."

"Our Bita Treant Kingdom finally has a second-level magic plant!"

"We will remember your sacrifice forever! It will be passed down from generation to generation in the Bita Dryad Kingdom!"

For this second-class ancient tree, Bita Treant Kingdom sacrificed too much.

But as long as it succeeds, then everything is worth it!
King Biroro clenched his fists tightly, staring at the second-class ancient tree in front of him, crying and laughing on his face.

While weeping, he couldn't help laughing. (end of this chapter)
