Miss Witch doesn't want to be a diva!.

Chapter 530: Withering Sequence 6: The Phantom Singer
At the end of October, after two months of intensive training, Tilan and others had a rare vacation.

"I suddenly don't want to go out and play. I just want to lie down at home and sleep." Blanche lay face down on the sofa.

"I'm a little tired too." Shui Yanqing sat on the wooden floor next to Blanche, leaning back on the sofa.

"I guess I have to go back. I have to attend a few banquets recently." Ores looked at her schedule.

"Actually, I don't really want to go, but those relatives at home...it will have a bad influence if I don't go." She was also a little helpless.

These are necessary interactions between families. If you don’t go, it may be seen by others as an unfriendly signal.

"Where's Tilan?" Ores looked at the girl sitting on the cloth sofa opposite. She was wearing home clothes and simple light-colored slippers, which made her look rare and cute.

"I will probably sleep at home too." Tilan pressed her finger lightly on her chin and thought for a while.

She was about to prepare for advancement, and she was also a little sleepy.

"Tilan isn't going out either." Blanche said happily, as if she had found some kind of ally.

"How about Tilan come with me to the Twin Trees Star Region to take a look." Ores's home is in the Twin Trees Star Region, which is the base camp of many elven families.

Tilan thought about it seriously, but still shook her head, "Next time, I can't go this time."

"Oh." Orles was a little disappointed.

……

The next day, Tilan returned to the mansion after being away for nearly two months, and the maids surrounded her curiously.

"Has Lord Tilan gained weight?"

"Is it good to live outside?"

"Several animals at home miss you very much."

"We miss Master Tilan too."

"What do you want to eat tonight?"

"Want a massage?"

The girl, surrounded by a group of maids, sat on a chair and answered their questions with a bit of helplessness and amusement. Then everyone brought Tilan her favorite snacks and fruits, and discussed what celebration to do tonight.

The girl ate the fresh cherries and apples on the plate, and then listened quietly to everyone's discussion. Occasionally, when the maids asked her questions, she nodded and agreed. Time passed quietly.

After noon, Tilan took a shower, enjoyed the comfortable breeze from the shade of trees in the backyard for a while, and then went to bed in the bedroom on the third floor. Because of the training during this period, she could not have as much free time to sleep as she did at school before, and she had indeed accumulated a lot of fatigue.

In the evening, after Tilan woke up, she took the big spider and the white kites for a walk in the yard, fed them some food, and then checked their condition.

I’m almost at the advanced stage, the girl thought to herself after finishing the inspection.

At night, in the candlelit dining room of the mansion, Tilan sat at the head of the long white table. The table was filled with a variety of delicious foods prepared by the maids, which was extremely sumptuous.

Originally, she didn't want to waste it like this, but after seeing everyone's enthusiasm, she didn't want to discourage or restrict them, so they all nodded in agreement.

"I'm sure I can't finish it, so take a portion to try, and the rest can be divided equally among you." Even if you only take a portion to try, it's still a lot when put together.

While Tilan was slowly tasting the food, the maids present introduced the dishes one by one, telling them who made them, what ingredients and cooking methods were used, etc. It was obvious that the maids in the mansion had learned a lot of new things during Tilan's absence.

"Yeah, thank you everyone~" She smiled and nodded to everyone, then picked up the chopsticks to taste the small pieces of food on the plate.

What a luxurious life, she suddenly thought of this.

If it was a movie from the old times, it would definitely be used to criticize the protagonist's wastefulness, but in the new era people have forgotten the pain, and many are even obsessed with the luxurious style of the former aristocracy.

Habitually, she tends to be frugal, but she is not so obsessed as to act like a frugal saint even though she has good conditions. It is only when she thinks back to the past occasionally that she feels some emotion in her heart.

After dinner, Tilan came to the quiet underground study room, which was closed and safe. Then she sat in the center of a special ritual array. The array here has the effect of stabilizing the mental state, allowing the extraordinary people to stay sober and calm when advancing.

Although the effect is not so obvious for her, it is better than nothing.

After getting ready, Tilan lay down slowly and closed her eyes. She then sensed the spread of the magic circle beneath her body. The azure magic light gradually spread from the center of the magic circle, and then ignited the specially made crystal candles around the magic circle.

When it burns, it will steadily release high-density withering sequence magic, and the magic concentration in the entire space will slowly rise.

If an ordinary person walked into here, he would probably feel the air was a little cold, his consciousness was exceptionally clear, but also a little panicked, because this clarity allowed one to even hear his own heartbeat and various floating thoughts in his mind.

As the environmental conditions met the standards, Tilan, who was lying in the center of the magic circle, opened her eyes. The magic power in the air quickly gathered and formed 24 transparent crystals, floating quietly.

These crystals swam and were evenly arranged in a ring. Then Tilan's body slowly rose and floated in the air, surrounded by these crystals. Then a solid protective shield made of countless hexagons gradually took shape, wrapping and protecting the girl and the magic circle. After the first layer of protective shield was built, another layer slowly took shape. After the three layers of barriers were built, the girl floating in the middle was undergoing a new change.

First, the condensed and precipitated magic power that Tilan had accumulated over the years was slowly drawn out from the extraordinary core and merged into the transparent crystal suspended beside her, slowly dyeing it, making it azure and pure.

Then, the originally extremely stable supernatural core in her body began to slowly disintegrate. It was originally like a blue flower bud engraved with countless fine lines. At this moment, it floated with the light of the engravings, and the core components separated one by one like pulling out building blocks.

This process was the first hurdle for Sequence 5 to advance to Sequence 6. Furthermore, the more perfectly rated a Sequence 5 was, the more complex its supernatural core was, and the more dangerous this process was. The slightest mistake, such as getting the order wrong and causing internal magical conflicts, would bring great danger. However, if it was a low-end Sequence 5 with a simple core, this process would be much easier and safer.

As time passed, Tilan's exquisite and complex extraordinary core was separated one by one like peeling off silk threads from a cocoon, leaving only the charming round bead with floating light in the center. It seemed to be between reality and virtuality, with light and shadow swaying.

This is her soul consciousness. Extraordinary people are different from ordinary people. After entering Sequence 5, their soul consciousness will gradually condense into the core. This can not only provide powerful protection, but also greatly enhance the control of the extraordinary core, resulting in a qualitative change in strength.

After that comes the initial sublimation of the soul, the girl said silently in her heart.

The azure crystals floating around her body emitted special magical rays that converged on the phantom bead in the center, like ripples on a calm lake. The azure bead swayed slightly, and then used these special cleansing rays to remove impurities.

This process is also a very difficult step for many extraordinary people. Soul consciousness is the origin of a person's self. If it is not handled carefully, it may cause the individual to become demented and stupid. Or if the washing is not done correctly, while removing impurities, the original normal part is also stripped away, making the individual consciousness incomplete, becoming extreme or out of control.

If control is lost at this step, the soul consciousness loses its sanity and degenerates, and everything follows instinct and intuition, the individual will become similar to a wild beast.

Such incidents occur in the Federation every year. Transcendents who fail to advance become out-of-control creatures and mutated beasts, and critical incidents break out. The person she met in the underground passage that year was in a similar situation.

The enchanting round beads gradually became clearer in the light. The process was very quick, and was completed in just a few seconds. The girl did not feel any discomfort or hindrance, as if she herself had no impurities and just lacked a sublimation process.

Faced with this unexpected situation, Tilan had to pause the advancement process for a while and carefully check herself to see if there was something wrong. After all, the situation was too different from what was described in the notes.

However, this examination did not find any problems. Everything was normal and the results were consistent with the description in the notes. So she had to put aside her doubts and continue with the next process.

The sublimated soul consciousness bead became exceptionally gorgeous and clear, like a flawless gem, quietly floating in the air. Tilan also felt that her perception and control of the surrounding magic power had become more handy.

Then the light of the suspended azure crystals changed, emitting crystalline rays that converged beside the beads, like a 3D printer, slowly outlining the subtle and extremely precise extraordinary core components. These components were covered with well-engraved, complex and delicate patterns, and were riveted together.

Parts continued to appear one after another, and then under Tilan's manipulation, they gathered together to form slightly larger components. After half an hour, about 16 complex and delicate components were quietly suspended. They surrounded the phantom round bead in the center, then slowly moved closer and slowly spliced ​​together, until finally forming a perfect sphere, wrapping and encapsulating the round bead inside.

In this way, the most critical first layer was built, and Tilan felt a little relieved.

After the first layer is built, the difficulty of the following layers will be much lower. Even if there is an unexpected out-of-control explosion of magic power, it will not harm the internal consciousness, but will only cause serious damage to the vitality, which will take time to recover.

The floating azure crystals once again emitted crystal magic, constructing new tiny parts, and then gradually condensing them into large components.

Time passed slowly, and subsequent work proceeded in an orderly manner. After the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth floors were built, the magic power in the entire extraordinary core slowly flowed and filled, and the various components filled in with each other, becoming extremely strong.

Then, this core, like a blooming bud, slowly disappeared into Tilan's body. As it slowly flowed, her body cooperated with it. The new and pure magic power continued to flow and exchange between her body and the core, spreading throughout her body like a blood network. This abundant magic power made Tilan feel exceptionally light, yet with a sense of powerful strength.

After repeating this cycle for an hour, Tilan finally felt that the subtle differences between her body and her extraordinary core had been smoothed out. While the flow of magic power was no longer obstructed, a new feeling emerged in her heart.

She recited silently in her heart, and then her body quietly became invisible and disappeared from this practice room. After a few seconds, she appeared in another location.

This ability to become virtual at any time should have been available to Withering Sequence 7, but now she could manipulate it without any hindrance, with minimal consumption of mana, and she felt extremely flexible.

Then Tilan landed quietly and stepped on the floor of the study room. She disappeared in an instant when she walked forward. Another Tilan appeared not far away, ten meters away. She turned around and practiced dancing on the spot. Then the Tilan who had been walking forward appeared again, but in just a second, she disappeared again. On the other side, another Tilan appeared, sitting on the ground thinking.

The flashes continued like this, and multiple identical girls with black hair and blue eyes appeared in the small training room. They each performed their own actions until they all came together and formed a girl who fell back into the center of the magic circle.

The Withering Sequence was also called the Undead Sequence in the past. Due to the changes in the times, the mystical arts regarding corpses and bones were simplified and cut off, and the focus was on soul consciousness. This allowed the Withering Sequence to gain the ability to become virtual and reappear at any time, just like a ghost, after advancing to Sequence 7.

With this ability, most physical attacks can be avoided by the Withering Sequence's extraordinary people, and they can also use it to pass through various physical barriers, such as walls and doors. Therefore, after the Withering Sequence enters a high level, its combat effectiveness will be significantly improved.

The same goes for the Dragon Sequence. After advancing to Sequence 7, the player gains the complete ability to transform into a dragon. The body and will become exceptionally strong, and the player can even fight against mechas of the same level.

After getting familiar with it, Tilan knelt in the middle of the training room, spread out her long skirt, closed her eyes slightly, and slowly got familiar with this new body and abilities.

Occasionally, she opened her mouth slightly, and an exceptionally clear and distant singing voice rang out in this underground world. The singing was quiet at first, like a small boat slowly crossing the sea at night, chanting the stars in the sky. Then, with a slight breath, the rhythm of the singing changed, and the emotions in it were like a storm slowly coming, with thunder and lightning in the dark clouds, and the small boat rising and falling with the waves. There was a sense of wonder and shock in the face of the vast world. After that, the wind and waves became higher and higher, and not only the small boat, but the entire sea was submerged in the sweeping waves. The singing became louder and more unyielding, slowly reaching an emotional climax.

Afterwards, the wind and waves slowly dissipated, and the singing once again entered a gentle melody. The small boat carrying a few fireflies and lights floated on the sea, slowly heading towards the distance, until the dark clouds in the sky dissipated, and the bright and shocking aurora tilted down from the night sky.

So beautiful and pure.

……

More than ten minutes later, Tilan slowly opened her eyes, and as a light blue light flashed across her eyes, everything calmed down.

She was still kneeling on the ground, but the surroundings had turned into a world of crystal. Clusters of crystals glowing with various colors were scattered throughout the study room. The twinkling lights were like the night sky with countless fireflies dancing. It was extremely peaceful and beautiful.

Withering Sequence 6: The Firefly Songstress, achieved.
