Witch Training Manual: My Water Magic Is Wrong

Soon, Su's spiritual body was fully formed.

She was tall and slender with delicate features, like an enlarged humanoid elf. She did resemble the tree elves from before, but her temperament was completely different.

Wayne was a whole head shorter than her.

Su Weiwei straightened up, her face slightly flushed.

"Sir, please..."

Wayne was shocked: (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))

He remembered this contract method: the secret technique of the ancient tree spirit, passed down only between the guardians and the sacred tree throughout the ages.

By establishing a soul connection through primordial contact, both parties can obtain each other's power imprint, thus sharing life and death and being bound by fate.

Tree Spirit Su approached.

Wayne's neck was wrapped around his neck.

Soon, a powerful life force exploded within his body, spreading along his meridians to his limbs and bones.

Wayne's vision blurred for a moment.

When he opened his eyes again, he felt that there was an invisible line between him, Dusu, and the divine tree.

He could feel every inch of the tree roots spreading, every tremor of the tree canopy, and even the rhythm of the god's heartbeat.

The contract was signed.

Sue's breathing became a little rapid as she looked at Wayne.

"My lord, how are you feeling?"

Wayne looked down at his hands.

The silver lines on his palms were brighter than before, and the vitality inside his body made him feel swollen.

"I feel that there is a new connection between us, as if a contract has been formed. Moreover, I seem to be able to control this artifact."

Su then asked, "What about the divine corpse?"

Wayne sensed the new connection within his body and tried to project his consciousness onto the enormous corpse. The divine corpse was too large, and its will field was too heavy.

He could feel that he was indeed holding the reins, but the other end of the rope was tied to a mountain, making it almost impossible to pull it directly.

"I do feel like I have control now. The divine tree and I are connected, and I can reach the divine corpse by following this line, but the divine corpse is still too enormous. Trying to control it directly is still too much of a stretch."

Before Su could reply, a loud bang came from outside.

Then Tessa's voice came through the barrier, clearly impatient: "Wayne! Are you done yet?!"

Wayne raised his hand to dispel the barrier, and Tessa practically crashed in. Her holy wings snapped back behind her, creating a gust of wind as she landed.

She glanced at Sue beside Wayne, then grabbed Wayne's arm: "Don't just stand there, let's go! A large number of abyssal monsters are surging this way, it'll be too late if we don't leave now."

"How many?"

"There are many." Tessa's voice was very low. "So many that I can't count them all. And... there's even the aura of a legendary seventh-tier beast among them."

Wayne's heart skipped a beat: "Legendary Tier 7?"

"Yes. I could feel that oppressive aura from a great distance, absolutely." Tessa glanced at him. "Do you know what that means? Encountering a seventh-tier being in a place like this, our small force wouldn't even be enough to fill its teeth."

Sue tensed up, grabbing Wayne's collar: "Sir, then what should we do..."

"Don't panic," Wayne reassured, turning his gaze towards the corpse. "Let me try."

He closed his eyes, and the connection between his body and the divine tree began to operate. His thoughts extended along the contract, like a thin thread probing into the massive and silent body of the divine corpse, attempting to move it.

However, it didn't have much effect.

He loosened his grip, about to think of another way, when his gaze fell on the Anubidi fragments that had been sculpted into small clay figures.

Since Anubidi once tried to awaken the corpse of the god, and he was once a god himself, using him to assist in controlling the corpse of the god would definitely be twice as effective.

With a wave of his hand, Wayne sent the group of little clay figures flying.

Dozens of tiny figures, no bigger than the palm of a hand, surged from Wayne's palm into the entrance of the god's heart, flowing with the blood to his limbs.

The feedback that came back was surprisingly clear.

Immediately afterwards, the ground began to tremble violently.

Su leaned against the tree trunk, her eyes wide open.

"It moved! The god's corpse really moved!"

Tessa stared in shock at the enormous heart, then abruptly turned to Wayne: "A god-corpse? You're trying to control a god-corpse?!"

Wayne nodded: "We successfully stopped Ophina and gained some opportunities in the process. For now, this divine corpse will listen to me."

He spoke casually, but Sue and Tessa could both see that the significance of this matter far exceeded its literal meaning.

Wayne didn't explain much; he raised his hand and placed it on the trunk of the sacred tree.

"Su, I'm going to put you into the artifact. Once inside, there will be a suitable environment for you to recuperate. I'll arrange your place after I've settled things here."

Su Weiwei bowed.

"I will obey my master."

The massive body of the divine tree began to glow, gradually becoming transparent from its roots to its crown, fading inch by inch, until finally the entire tree transformed into a stream of light and disappeared into the divine artifact, Liuli.

The tree spirits, having lost the support of the divine tree, took flight, circled around Vain once as if bidding farewell, and then disappeared into the lingering light, following the divine tree into the storage bag.

Then Wayne looked at Tessa.

"Watch out, the divine corpse is about to move."

Just as Wayne had predicted, the god's corpse moved, the ground began to shake violently, and cracks appeared on the surface.

Immediately afterwards, the divine corpse supported itself on the ground with both hands and slowly raised its upper body. A body thousands of meters tall, like a mountain rising from the ground, stood up inch by inch.

Tessa and Wayne had already landed on its shoulders.

Standing at this height, the buildings on the ground appear as tiny patches of color, and the figures of the abyssal monsters seem as small as ants. The entire underground space stretches out beneath your feet, seemingly endless.

"This divine corpse is over a thousand meters tall." Tessa glanced down ahead. "Luckily, we're deep enough."

Wayne also looked ahead.

Indeed, if this were on the ground, the mere act of the divine corpse rising would have collapsed half a city. But this place was different; they were currently in an astonishingly deep location, at the very bottom of the divine tomb, at the boundary with the abyss.

The dome overhead was so high that no end could be seen. This area originally existed to house the bodies of gods, and now it had become the stage for this corpse to stand up again.

Ahead, the army of the abyss halted.

The densely packed monsters, from low-ranking minions to massive high-level demons, all stopped. They looked up at the enormous figure that had risen from the ground, emitting a cacophony of commotion.

The aura of a legendary seventh-tier warrior still lingers deep within the army.

Wayne stood on the shoulders of the gods, looking down at the vast, dark army of the abyss before him. The wind rose from the depths of the earth, making his black robes flutter wildly.

Wayne, controlling the divine corpse, spoke, and the divine corpse's booming voice resounded throughout the entire space.

"Retreat! Or... die!"
