dark witches rise

The production of materials for returning to the phantom does not need to be as careful as the refining of Ice Soul Dragon Crystal.

"what--"

Roja shouted loudly.

"So la la—"

Iron ropes engraved with runes shot out from the walls of the room.

Pooh!Pooh!Pooh! ——

The iron rope mercilessly penetrated the body of the ice dragon's remains.

Even though the ice dragon had been dead for many years, his body still struggled with the pain of conditioned reflex.

crackling-

Under the terrifying power of the ice dragon wreck, the iron chain pierced into the ice dragon wreck broke inch by inch.

"Dead things, dare to be arrogant in front of me?"

Roja narrowed his eyes.

Activate the wizard tower formation.

In the end, under the suppression of the power of the Wizard Tower, the remains of the ice dragon could no longer move.

When thousands of thigh-thick iron ropes successfully penetrated the remains of the ice dragon.

"Practice!"

The hot flames were injected into the body of the ice dragon's remains using the iron rope as a medium.

The entire body of the kilometer-long ice dragon wreckage was immediately enveloped in flames. Under the scorching flames, the ice dragon wreckage was struggling in pain and howling in despair.

Looking at the wreckage of the struggling ice dragon, listening to the desperate roars coming into his ears.

"I don't know how many years have passed since I died, how can I still be alive?"

"Even if the vitality of the fourth-level monster is very strong, is it too powerful?"

"If outsiders who don't know the truth see it, they must think that this ice dragon is still alive."

If Roja didn't know what happened before, and just saw the scene where the ice dragon wreckage was struggling and howling in the fire, he probably thought that the ice dragon wreckage was still alive.

But he knows everything!
So the ice dragon remains are definitely dead!
"It's just the instinct left in the body, don't worry too much."

"Essentially, it's no different from the twirling octopus tentacles."

For some reason, Roja always had an ominous premonition in his heart.

"Even the Ice Soul Dragon Crystal was successfully refined."

"What else could be wrong?"

In order to prevent accidents.

He opened the magic pupil of true knowledge that can see the future, and used the certificate of twin souls that can overlook the low-latitude world from the high-dimensional world.

While observing the remains of the ice dragon, he continued to make materials for returning to the source illusion.

The struggle of the remains of the ice dragon gradually became smaller, and the wailing sound gradually disappeared.

Soon.

The remains of the ice dragon had melted into a mass of flesh and blood hundreds of meters in diameter.

Under the scorching flames, this huge mass of flesh and blood evaporated impurities and gradually purified them.

The mass of flesh and blood slowly changed from hundreds of meters in diameter to hundreds of meters in diameter, to tens of meters in diameter, to several meters in diameter...

When the flesh and blood mass was only the size of a basketball, the matter of refining the remains of the ice dragon into the casting material of the phantom of returning to the source was a success!
Roja took out the container prepared in advance, and put the casting materials into the container.

"There was no accident in the process."

"There seems to be no problem with the refined casting materials..."

He stared at the spell-casting materials in the container carefully.

If you can't see the problem with the naked eye, you can open the certificate of twin souls.

With the help of the power of the certificate of twin souls, he actually vaguely saw an unknown power.

These ominous forces carrying curses are hidden in the deepest part of the ice dragon's wreckage, and it is easy to miss it even with the certificate of twin souls.

"This is……"

"curse?"

"I heard that the royal family of the Ice Dragon Empire has been cursed by the Ice Dragon Clan."

"Is this the curse of the Royal Family of the Ice Dragon Empire?"

Looking at the curse far beyond his understanding, Roja couldn't help but worry.

He took out three bottles of Ice Soul Dragon Crystal that he had refined previously.

He used the certificate of twin souls to carefully observe the ice soul dragon crystal for most of the day, and he was relieved until he was sure that he did not find the curse.

Then, his gaze fell on the spell-casting material refined from the remains of the ice dragon again.

"What's the curse up there?"

"Will I be cursed if I use this bottle of casting material to release the Phantom of Returning to the Source of Witchcraft?"

Roja, who thought that with the fourth-level ice dragon spell-casting materials as his hole card, that the third-level realm would not be afraid of fourth-level wizards, Roja frowned.

An ominous haze enveloped him.

"The demise of the ice dragon family is mostly related to this curse."

"It's a curse that even the ice dragons can't bear. It's better not to use it lightly until you figure out what the curse is."

"Alas -" Roja sighed helplessly, "I finally got a bottle of level four ice dragon casting materials, but it turns out I can't use it?"

"Is there any reason?"

"Then my efforts over the years have not been wasted?"

"If it weren't for the fact that I learned the Time Le enchantment, I could control the speed of time."

"Otherwise, I have spent 20 years refining the Ice Soul Dragon Crystal, and the reward is only a bottle of cursed Level [-] Ice Dragon spell-casting materials. I will cry to death!"

There is a problem with the remuneration!
He lost money on this business!

Life is like this, how can it always be smooth sailing?
"When you meet Fernanda, tell him."

"I hope he can give me extra compensation."

Roja depressedly put the fourth-level ice dragon casting materials into the space ring.

He left the room where he had been for 20 years.

The time music enchantment arranged in the room quickly collapsed without Roja's continuous injection of time elements.

Looking at the outside world that has only passed three years.

Deep in Roja's heart, he couldn't help but feel like a dream.

He has spent decades in Shile enchantment, and it has only been a few years since he left the enchantment.

"Is this the power of time?"

"When I become stronger in the future and learn more powerful time witchcraft, maybe I can speed up time by hundreds or thousands of times?"

"A year for someone else is equivalent to 1000 years for me?"

Think of that possibility.

He couldn't help but sigh with emotion——

"Time is indeed the most terrifying power of time!"

"Although space is as famous as time, and the two are often mentioned together, it feels like North Qiaofeng and South Murong. The two seem to have the same name, but they are not at the same level at all."

"The only thing that can transcend time is the legendary power of cause and effect, right?"

"It's also possible that I still don't know the real horror of space?"

For others, it's only been three years, but Roja has aged 20 years.

His life expectancy was literally reduced by 20 years.

He rubbed his chin in thought.

"So what should be my age?"

"Is it the time I actually spent?"

"Or is it the speed of time in the main world?"

For this question, Roja thought about it casually.

"Calculate it according to the flow rate of the main world."

"We still have to consider other people, after all, most people can't control time."

Looking at the flame-scaled dragon that had not been seen for three years, it had grown a lot.

Roja gently stroked the lovely head of the flame scale dragon.

The body temperature of the flame scale dragon is extremely high, with seventy to eighty degrees Celsius.

Ordinary people will be burned just by touching the body of the flame scale dragon.

Moreover, the dragon scales on the flame-scaled dragon are extremely hard and sharp.

When touching along the scales, it feels as smooth as glass.

When turned against the scales, the sharp scales can easily cut off large pieces of flesh and blood from the human body.

"I haven't seen you for three years, do you already have the strength close to that of a high-level monster?"

"Ok?"

"I knew I should bring you into Shile enchantment."

"It's a bit of a miscalculation."

Because it was the first time he used Shile enchantment to assist in refining medicine.

Worried about accidents, he did not bring the Flaming Scaled Dragon in.

As it turned out, there were no surprises.

"I'll definitely take you with me next time."

"500 years to become a hegemony monster, with Shile enchantment, maybe it will be done in a few decades?"

After playing with the three Flame Scale Dragon cubs for a while, he took out the communication tool Fernanda left with him and told Fernanda the news that he had successfully refined the Ice Dragon Crystal.

Then he came to the garden.

I found a table in the pavilion in the middle of the garden and sat down, took out tea, kettle, cups...

He had just made tea, and he hadn't even drank the first cup of tea.

"boom--"

A white comet with a shocking cold air has already crossed the sky and flew towards him.

Under the influence of Fernanda, the temperature of the entire royal capital suddenly dropped.

Because he had given instructions to others in advance, the guardians of the imperial capital were not surprised by Fernanda's appearance.

He looked up at Fernanda who was flying towards him at a speed dozens of times the speed of sound.

"So fast?"

Roja was surprised.

He knew Fernanda would come quickly, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.

"Where's the Ice Soul Dragon Crystal?"

Fernanda asked anxiously as soon as she landed.

He has been waiting for the Ice Soul Dragon Crystal for too long!
When he received the news from Roja, he was so excited that he almost went crazy!
He immediately stopped what he was doing, and rushed to the Saint Luo Empire at full speed, and came to Roja's side.

Roja didn't care about Fernanda's faux pas.

He took out a bottle of Ice Soul Dragon Crystal from the space ring.

The moment he took out the ice soul dragon crystal, Fernanda was like a very hungry tiger, his eyes suddenly radiated a frightening light.

Fernanda's hand quickly grabbed towards the Ice Soul Dragon Crystal, the speed of this grasping has exceeded fifty times the speed of sound!
But when he was about to touch the Ice Soul Dragon Crystal, Fernanda's hand speed suddenly slowed down.

He carefully took the Ice Soul Dragon Crystal from Roja's palm.

He stared at the Ice Soul Dragon Crystal with glowing eyes, and used his blood talent, the Eye of Reality, to analyze the third-level potion in his hand that was related to his condensing the tenth domain base.Stared at the ice soul dragon crystal for a long time.

"That's right! This is the Ice Soul Dragon Crystal I want!"

He grinned.

Smiling so ugly, but so happy.

"One bottle should be enough?" Roja asked.

"Well, one bottle is already..." Fernanda suddenly widened her eyes after reacting, "How many bottles of Ice Soul Dragon Crystal have you refined?"

"Three bottles."

"Can I have another bottle?"

"no problem."

Holding two bottles of Ice Soul Dragon Crystal in his hand, Fernanda felt that his heart was about to melt.

With just a bottle of Ice Soul Dragon Crystal, he is only [-]% sure of condensing the tenth domain base.

Now that he has two bottles of Ice Soul Dragon Crystal, his confidence in condensing the tenth domain base can be increased from [-]% to [-]%!
Because the raw material of Ice Soul Dragon Crystal is only the remains of ice dragons, the difficulty of refining is really too great.

He was already satisfied with being able to successfully refine the Ice Soul Dragon Crystal, even if the refining failed, he would not blame Roja.

So he didn't put forward higher demands on Roja.

All you need is a bottle of Ice Soul Dragon Crystal.

He didn't expect Roja to give him such a big surprise!

"You are indeed my lucky star!"

Fernanda patted Roja on the shoulder and laughed.

Since he knew Roja, every time he met Roja, it would give him an unexpected surprise.

Every time he cooperates with Roja, he will get unexpected gains.

It used to be, it is now.

Maybe the future still is?

After looking at the two bottles of Ice Soul Dragon Crystal in his hand over and over again, he reluctantly put the Ice Soul Dragon Crystal into the interspatial ring.

At this time, he couldn't wait to go back and practice with the help of Ice Soul Dragon Crystal.

However, it is really impolite to meet a friend after 20 years, just take something and turn around and leave.

More importantly, after this meeting, I don’t know when the next meeting will be.

For wizards, time is precious, and at the same time, too cheap.

Tens of hundreds of years have passed without moving.

It is normal for people who love each other to see each other once in tens or hundreds of years.

Every time we meet is precious.

After putting the Ice Soul Dragon Crystal away, Fernanda calmed down and found that Roja's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, as if he had something on his mind.

Fernanda, who claims to be Roja's friend and has received Roja's great favor, how can she let go of her friend who is in trouble?
"Roja, what's bothering you lately? If there's anything I can help with, feel free to mention it!" Fernanda said to Roja, patted her chest.

"Yes, yes..."

Roja told about the curse of the ice dragon.

After hearing this, Fernanda's expression darkened.

Apparently, he didn't expect that the curse in the remains of the ice dragon he brought back would still remain after refining.

Never heard of such a thing?

At Fernanda's request, Roja took out the refined ice dragon casting materials.

Fernanda stared at the ice dragon casting materials for a long time, "Is there really a curse? Can't my eye of truth see the problem?"

Facing Roja's repeated nods for confirmation, after Fernanda thought about it, his eyes suddenly shone with dazzling light.

A large amount of magic energy was injected crazily into his pupils, and his eyes turned into two huge light bulbs emitting golden light.

Because of his reckless efforts to activate the Eye of Reality, Fernanda, who was originally in the shape of a three-meter-tall dragon, suddenly became huge.

It turned into a 30-meter-long ice dragon!

Just by using the True Eye, a bloodline talent, Fernanda unexpectedly entered a state of preparation for war!
Suddenly, the breath of a pure-blooded giant dragon from Fernanda swept towards the surroundings mercilessly.

The surrounding flowers, plants and trees were washed away by the dragon's breath, and even their vitality was cut off.

The bodies of birds, insects, and small animals suddenly stiffened and lost their lives.

If this breath continues to be allowed to spread out, it will cover a range of several kilometers.

At that time, the life in the imperial city, let alone plants and small animals, even people with the strength of knights may not be able to withstand the death of the dragon's breath.

Seeing this, Roja waved his hand and arranged a simple barrier to isolate him and Fernanda from the outside world.

Fernanda seemed not to be aware of his influence on the outside world, and still just kept activating the Eye of Truth.

People often use "his sight is like substance" to describe the sharpness of a person's eyes.

At this moment, this metaphor has become reality!

From Fernanda's eyes, two golden lines of sight shot out and landed on the ice dragon's spell-casting materials.

Roja was worried about whether the ice dragon's spell-casting materials would be affected by Fernanda's sight.

When Roja was debating whether to stop or not.

Fernanda slowly closed her eyes.

The breath emanating from him slowly dissipated.

His figure gradually returned to normal.

"Ha-huh-"

Fernanda took a long, deep breath that lasted several minutes.

After urging the Eye of Reality with all his strength just now, I don't know if it's an illusion, but I feel that his muscles have shrunk a lot.

After sitting and resting with her eyes closed for about half an hour, Fernanda finally opened her pupils.

Those golden eyes that usually made people unrecognizable just looking at them with awe, now looked exhausted.

The golden light condensed deep in the pupil was almost shattered.

Fernanda is in extremely weak condition at this time!

Weaker than a battle with a strong enemy!
"This ice dragon is indeed cursed." Fernanda nodded with a heavy face, "It's so difficult for me, who has the eyes of truth, to detect it. I didn't expect you to be able to discover... The ice dragon crystal is also cursed. ?"

"Ice Soul Dragon Crystal is fine." Roja replied.

"This..." Fernanda frowned and thought, "Many people have obtained the remains of ice dragons from the Ice Dragon Prison before. Except for the royal family of the Ice Dragon Empire, I have never heard of anyone getting the remains of ice dragons." The curse affects..."

"Those people didn't notice?"

"Or does the curse not affect the human body?"

There is a high probability that the curse of the ice dragon has no effect on people.

But who wants to gamble their future to try?
That is a terrifying curse that can destroy the entire ice dragon clan overnight!

Level [-] wizards are infected and can't get rid of it, they can only struggle painfully under the curse!
The fourth-level wizards cursed it helplessly, how dare the second-level wizards touch it?

"How much do you know about the curse of the ice dragon family?" Roja asked.

Fernanda thought for a while, then nodded solemnly.

"I didn't know much about the curse of the Ice Dragon Prison World before."

"But after going through the adventure in the Ice Dragon Prison Realm, I have a guess."

"The curse of the ice dragon clan should be a blood curse, but this blood curse was not set up by someone to kill the ice dragon clan, but made by the ice dragon clan themselves."

Roja was a little dumbfounded by Fernanda's conclusion.

Why are the ice dragons cursing themselves if they have nothing to do?
Tired of living?
Under Roja's suspicious gaze, Fernanda continued to explain:

"Of course the ice dragons will not curse themselves for no reason. This blood curse should be a by-product of a certain ritual."

"As for what this ceremony is..."

"I guess it's the ritual of following the gods!"

The fifth level can be called a god.

The eighth-level gods are honored as the main gods.

If you want to step into the eighth level, you must condense one thing.

Different races, different cultivation systems, have different titles, such as Godhead, Soul Shaman, Dragon Spirit, Yuji, Yuanyuan...etc.

Among them, godhead is the most common title.

The ceremony of inheriting the gods is the ceremony of inheriting the godhead.

Once successful, you will be able to become a quasi-eighth level master god, gain eternal life and supreme power!

According to Fernanda, in the distant era who did not know how many years ago, the ice dragon clan in the ice dragon prison world gathered the power of the whole clan to hold a ceremony of inheriting the gods.

This is a ritual that, once successful, can create a quasi-eighth-level main god.

Once it fails, the entire race of the ice dragon family will perish.

However, the demise of the Ice Dragon Clan was not due to the backlash caused by the failure of the God Succession Ceremony.

During the process of the Ice Dragon Clan holding the god succession ceremony, a certain strong man secretly interrupted the ceremony and froze the entire Ice Dragon Clan, destroying life on a planet.

Although the ritual of following the gods was interrupted and the ice dragon clan perished, the side effects of the failure of the ritual of following the gods did not completely disappear.

Every ice dragon remains in the ice dragon prison world suffered from the blood curse.

Back then, the ancestors of the Ice Dragon Empire accidentally discovered the passage leading to the Ice Dragon Prison. At that time, he didn't know the curse of the Ice Dragon, and used a secret method to fuse the remains of an Ice Dragon, so that his strength skyrocketed.

As a result, he was infected with the blood curse of the remains of the ice dragon.

This curse continues to this day, affecting everyone in the Royal Family of the Ice Dragon Empire.

Bloodborne is horrible.

Killing a race at every turn.

Some powerful blood curses can even curse the life of races in other universes across dimensions.

Meanwhile, Bloodborne is safe.

As long as you don't have the cursed blood, no matter how strong the blood curse is, it is harmless.

So many wizards have entered the ice dragon prison over the years, and many wizards have obtained the remains of the ice dragon, but only the royal family of the ice dragon empire has been cursed.

"Theoretically, it's safe for you to transform with the cursed ice dragon spell-casting material..."

Fernanda's face was very ugly.

If Roja is worried about being entangled by the curse, he only needs to not use the ice dragon casting materials.

But what about him?
He wants to use the ice crystals refined from the remains of ice dragons to condense the tenth domain base!

Yuji is something produced by the resonance of blood, magic power, and spirit. If Yuji is stained with a curse, it means that blood, magic power, and spirit will all be cursed.

Aware of Fernanda's worry, Roja comforted him: "I said before, there is no curse in the Ice Soul Dragon Crystal, you can use it with confidence."

Under Roja's comfort, Fernanda's complexion improved a lot.

Roja was able to detect the blood curse that the Eye of Reality couldn't easily discriminate, and he must have a powerful insight ability far above the Eye of Reality.

Roja like this said that the ice soul dragon crystal is not cursed, so the credibility is still very high.

However, no matter how insightful Roja is, he is only a second-level wizard after all.

Facing the curse of blood that can be killed by a fourth-level ice dragon, are you sure that Roja, a second-level wizard, can fully detect it?

If there is a curse in the Ice Soul Dragon Crystal that Roja can't see, it will be bad.

But Fernanda will not give up easily.

He planned to go back, and with the assistance of his white wizard teacher, set up a formation and take a good look at the Ice Soul Dragon Crystal.

After observing with his own method and confirming that the ice soul dragon crystal is not cursed, he dared to use the power of the ice soul dragon crystal to condense the tenth domain base.

Fernanda, who had made plans in her heart, looked at Roja with some embarrassment.

He originally thought that Roja would help him refine the Ice Soul Dragon Crystal, so he gave the ice dragon remains to Roja as a reward. This transaction was an equal exchange, and no one suffered.

Unexpectedly, a Bloodborne Curse actually appeared!
Roja didn't dare to use the cursed ice dragon spell-casting material!
It's equivalent to Roja spending 20 years helping him refine the ice soul dragon crystal. It's a waste of time, and he got nothing!
And if it wasn't for Roja's reminder, if there is a curse in the Ice Soul Dragon Crystal, wouldn't his hard work lead him to hell?
He owed Roja too much. (end of this chapter)
