Witch Monastery

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone present felt a strong vibration beneath their feet, as if thousands of troops were galloping below!

Boom——

The ground suddenly cracked, and countless rocks, snowflakes, tents, barracks, and residents of the camp fell into the cracks with screams.

Screams of terror and cries for help, mixed with the shaking and cracking of the earth, came from all directions, as if merciless demons were mocking Ilarod's arrogance!

"Save people first!"

Willow quickly stood up and turned around, chanting a spell, and then rushed to the outside of the battalion commander at a speed as fast as the wind on the shaking ground. Denchi followed closely behind, while Ilarod's face was very gloomy.

I miscalculated. I didn't expect that the demon would launch an attack at this time!

He gritted his teeth, however, things were already done and nothing could be undone.

At this moment, deep in the mountains, in a bloody cave, the huge Monpot finally walked out of his pool of filthy blood.

His giant hand took down a huge double-headed sword from the wall at the edge of the cave, and then he stretched out his four legs as thick as an elephant. His fat body walked out of the cave surrounded by a group of demons. Facing the snow-capped mountains outside, he laughed wildly: "Hahahahaha——!"

"Let the blood and souls of these mortals sharpen the double-headed sword of Monbot!"

Chapter 306: The Legacy of Galeon

In the monastery.

Hawthorne held Ekta in his arms and stroked her long red hair with one hand. As soon as he closed his eyes, he found that the color in front of him turned into a yellowish earth color like quicksand.

He immediately became alert, frowned, and wanted to move, but found that his consciousness seemed to have been separated from his body and he had entered a deep dream.

"Don't resist, child. Otherwise, I won't be able to maintain my connection with you."

A gentle and somewhat unfamiliar female voice sounded, Hawthorne was slightly confused, and then he remembered who the owner of the voice was: "Galeon?"

Suddenly, there was some joy in the voice: "I'm glad you still remember my name."

As he said this, a cloud of yellow sand suddenly appeared in front of him. Soon, the yellow sand condensed into the image of a super giant crocodile that was nearly five meters tall and more than twenty meters long.

The crocodile had a pair of thick, curved horns on its head, and its body was exactly the same as the one that Hawthorne had seen at the Rock Seekers' camp.

However, that day, he was facing her in a state of madness and madness, and he only felt that she was terrifying. But now, she has regained her consciousness, looking at him calmly and gently, and her voice is still so beautiful...

For a moment, for some reason, Hawthorne always felt that the eyebrows, eyes, and facial features of this big crocodile seemed to be a little beautiful, and had a kind of maternal gentleness.

Hey, calm down, Hawthorne, don't let your imagination run wild!

Pinching himself secretly, he frantically warned himself in his heart: Your aesthetic taste is normal. Beautiful human women cannot be led astray by this terrible fantasy world and degenerate to the point of becoming a dragon!

He warned himself like this, and in front of him, the huge earth dragon Galeon spoke again: "I came here this time because of the help you gave me last time."

As she spoke, she raised a huge paw. Countless yellow sands rose up.

A fist-sized ochre-colored glass bead condensed under her claws.

"This is my thank you gift. Well, according to the concepts of you people in the material world, you can understand it as a 'supernatural gift'." Galion continued, "As a thank you for pulling me back from that madness, please accept it."

As he spoke, the glass bead slowly floated towards him. Huo Sang did not resist and raised his hand to touch it, but the next moment, the bead melted into a yellow light, followed his finger, and disappeared into his body in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Galion's eyes lit up with a smile: "Fortunately, you have a good affinity with it. This way, I didn't send the wrong thing."

Hawthorne clenched his fists. He could vaguely feel that there was an invisible layer of protection around his body. From now on, his resistance to ordinary physical attacks would be greatly enhanced.

With this thought in mind, he looked up and said sincerely to Galion, "Thank you."

After a pause, he continued, "That's right, I actually have something I want to ask you about."

"How much do you know about the burrowing demon insects under the mountains? What is their current condition? How should I guard against them?"

He poured out all the information he wanted to ask. Upon hearing this, Galion's expression suddenly became serious, and he no longer had the gentleness and smile he had just shown.

"The burrowing demons have fallen into extreme madness," she said. "Shude Meier has awakened and is wreaking havoc in the mountains. Your hometown, and even the entire material world, is facing the threat of collapse."

"I am no longer in the material world, so the only thing I can remind you is to be careful of earthquakes."

"The time should be within these few days."

Hawthorne opened his mouth, thinking that the worst result was about to come. He couldn't help but sigh, then he pulled himself together and said to Galion from the bottom of his heart: "Thank you, I will be careful."

Having said that, facing a mad Old One, what use would it be for a mortal like him no matter how careful he was?

All they can do is hide in the city and wait for Lady Blackstaff or even Leila Silverhand to show their power.

"Yes." Galaon's huge head nodded slightly, and then her body gradually became illusory. "My strength has been maintained to the limit, child. I hope that we can meet again in the future."

As she spoke, her body became almost completely transparent. The world around her gradually lost its color, and soon, Hawthorne also lost consciousness and fell into a deep dream.

The next day, early morning.

Hawthorne got up early in the morning. When he saw the sleeping face of the girl beside him, he vaguely remembered his dream last night.

Then, he quickly opened the system and went to the page of his own properties column, and then he saw that,

Legacy of Galeon

You have been blessed with magic by the earth elemental djinn named Galeon. You gain the following benefits:

Your Constitution attribute increases by 1 point, but cannot exceed 20.

You learn the detect magic spell, and can cast it at will.

You take less nonmagical piercing, slashing, and bludgeoning damage than you take, reduced by an amount based on your Charisma score.

Seeing this, Hawthorne was immediately delighted.

Stronger than expected!

Needless to say, the increase in physical strength, and the ability to cast detection magic at will, means that he will no longer have to fear magic traps; and the last damage reduction is only limited to non-magical weapons, but magic weapons are something that not everyone has!

Moreover, the strength of this thing is related to the charm attribute. I can’t say anything else, but with this thing, Hawthorne probably won’t have to be afraid of various wild beasts, or even the claws of the berserker from now on!

Nice!

With this bit of joy in his heart, he woke up Ekta, then got up, washed, and went to have breakfast.

However, just as he was sitting in the kitchen chewing his food slowly, there was a slight tremor in the ground.

Although the tremor was not strong, it still made Hawthorne very nervous. After all, in his dream last night, Galion had just reminded him to be careful of earthquakes.

Fortunately, the tremor ended quickly, and the whole process lasted less than a minute. Hawthorne forced himself to calm down, slowly finished his meal, and then went out to see what was going on.

Then he discovered that in Liber Harbor, news spread faster than the wind. He only took a few steps on the surrounding streets, and all kinds of news rushed to his ears like crazy:

"I heard that there was an earthquake in several urban areas in the north. Did the aftershocks just reach us?"

"Great earthquake! Why not also shake the Mithril District and send all those nobles to heaven!"

"Retribution, this is all retribution! God has eyes, let those corrupt bureaucrats and masters be shaken to death!"

"Well, do you think the next aftershocks could be even bigger and even destroy our house?"

"It doesn't matter. I don't have a room."

"Hahahaha, those who bought houses with loans are going to be miserable. Now everyone will have no future!"

……

The residents' discussions were full of hostility, which showed that in this era, the old brainwashing methods about nobles being the chosen ones of heaven, the chosen people of God, and having noble blood flowing in their bodies were almost completely ineffective.

Listening to the lively discussions of the surrounding residents,

Hawthorne's heart couldn't help but be shrouded in a layer of gloom.

Others may not know the truth, but he has long known that the source of the earthquake is those burrowing demon insects!

Shude Meir has awakened, and its power is enough to destroy the world. The time left for the Blackstaff Tower and Lyra Silverhand is running out...

Chapter 307: Lady of the Black Staff, Vajera

Blackstaff Tower, top floor.

The current holder of the Black Staff, Vajera Safar, was wearing a black leather magic robe and black leather boots. In her hand, she held the "Black Staff", a sacred artifact that symbolizes the protection of the Port of Liberl. She stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking solemnly at the mountains in the northwest.

She is the most legendary blackstaff wielder of all time, not because she is a woman, nor because she became a legendary spellcaster before she was thirty, towering over all others, but because she is a tiefling.

A sinful race with devil's blood flowing in their veins.

Although her appearance only looks special after several generations of mixed-race, she is no different from normal humans: her light brown skin is everywhere, her white hair is because of the Saiyin blood in her body, and even her blood-red pupils can be covered up by a special eye disease.

But the only racial characteristics that she could never conceal were the pair of long, beautiful horns on her head that were the color of beeswax, and the long, thin tail behind her butt that symbolized the devil's curse.

Even in the mixed city of Liber Port where all kinds of races coexist, she still suffers discrimination because of her race.

But she was born in a garbage dump but did not become depressed. Instead, she quickly showed her outstanding talent and perseverance, and fought back all the way. Not only was she promoted to a legendary wizard at a young age, she also gained the trust of the previous public city lord and was appointed as the youngest black staff holder in history.

Although many people believe that the former public city lord who was convicted of corruption and eventually dismissed by Liu Fang only appointed her because he thought she was young and easy to manipulate.

However, all the wizards who have competed for the master of the black staff know that perhaps other stages can be manipulated by power, but the final and most critical link of "the black staff recognizing its master" is something that only the artifact itself can decide, and no one else can interfere.

If the heirs cannot gain its recognition, it would rather deny its master and remain idle than just find a random master.

Therefore, Vajera definitely has the strength and quality worthy of this artifact.

However, she, who was in a high position at such a young age, also had her own worries. Ever since the former Lord of the Open City was exiled and Layla Silverhand became the new Lord of the Open City under the joint petition of many forces, she felt more and more embarrassed for being promoted by the former Lord of the Open City.

Doubtful voices were always flowing in secret, and although these rumors could not shake her position, after combining information from all sides, she guessed that Leila Silverhand must be waiting for the moment when she failed in her duty, and would immediately deprive her of her position and choose a new owner for the Black Staff.

Therefore, she must do her best.

Now, she knew that Shude Meier, the Great Old One representing the loophole in the rules, had awakened. Now it threatened not only the mountains and the port of Libel, but also the safety of the entire material world.

As the holder of the artifact, she must resolve this crisis perfectly and prove to the world that she deserves all the honor and status she has obtained.

In the distance, under the clear sky, the mountains were shaking slightly. Vajera's hand holding the black staff suddenly clenched. She knew that even though they were only a hundred miles away, there was still a visible tremor. This level of movement was definitely not something that an ordinary earth-drilling demon worm could do.

The terrifying Old One, Shude Meier, has appeared.

So, let’s solve it here!

Taking a deep breath, she first recited the spell quickly, casting the nine-ring spell "Early Warning" on herself so that she could briefly see the future;

Afterwards, she cast the wizard's exclusive nine-ring spell "Invincibility" on herself, allowing herself to avoid all damage in a short period of time.

After doing all this, she immediately activated the seventh-level spell "Teleportation", and with a flash of light, she was already a hundred miles away, directly above the mountains where the vibration was the strongest.

She did not call for any helpers. The power of the Old Ones was so immense that only she could resolve this battle!

Now, she was suspended in the air, letting the strong wind in the sky blow her robes. Her body was so small, and compared to the mountains below, it looked so insignificant, but the energy she could leverage was so great!

She did not launch an attack directly, but chose to add fuel to the fire. She opened her arms, as if to embrace something, and terrifying magic power surged out of her body. She quickly finished a series of mysterious spells: "Earthquake·tremblement de terre·Erdbeben involvet sind!"

Eighth-ring spell, earthquake!

Boom——

Even more terrifying tremors were superimposed on the land. The strong vibrations instantly tore the entire land apart. The terrifying roar of rocks shattering was transmitted along the earth. Even in the distant port of Liberl, hundreds of miles away, it could be heard clearly!

The terrifying energy continued to act on this land, enough to cause a magnitude 7 earthquake.

The force was constantly tearing the mountains apart. The mountains and the earth were constantly breaking apart, revealing terrifying cracks that stretched for thousands of meters, and also revealing the culprit underneath that caused all this!

It was a pitch-black earth-drilling demon worm that had been magnified countless times. Its body was nearly a thousand meters long, and its head was covered with huge tentacles. Near the base of the tentacles, the skin rolled back, revealing eight huge disc-shaped eyes.

Its appearance is so hideous and terrifying that any creature without strong mental resistance will have its soul completely torn apart and fall into irreversible and permanent madness just by looking at it!

At this moment, its huge body was rolling and stirring, and the energy waves that were enough to cause a magnitude 7 earthquake were constantly transmitting to the surroundings, continuing to tear the surrounding mountains apart. If it were to unleash its full power, it would be able to cause a magnitude 9 earthquake, and the entire material world would be affected!

Facing all this, Vajera's face was stern and her heart was as hard as iron. Not only was she not affected in the slightest, she already had a complete battle plan in her mind.

Obviously, the size of the two was very different. She, floating in the sky, was just an insignificant black dot compared to the huge Old One on the ground.

But she was fearless. She raised her staff and quickly finished the spell. Another eight-ring spell was released: "Tsunami!"

Tsunami magic!

A huge amount of water gathered here. The port of Liber was close to the sea, so it was easy for millions of tons of ice water to gather into terrifying waves above these mountains, swooping down from the sky and smashing hard into the ground!

boom--!

These millions of tons of sea water instantly submerged Shude Mel's body. Intense pain came over him, and his soul let out a silent scream.

Even though it is one of the Old Ones, the source of all burrowing demon insects, it has a loophole that cannot be repaired by the material world, and its fear of water is also its fatal weakness that it can never escape!

However, this is just the beginning. After all, a tsunami doesn't end with just one wave.

In the sky, Vajera's face was grim as she continued to cast the spell. Then, millions of tons of ice water fell from the sky, fiercely bombarding Shude Mel's body and submerging most of his torso.

When the ice water touched the thousands of degrees high temperature of the Old One's body surface, it evaporated rapidly in an instant, turning into steam and floating high into the sky;

But when the vapor returned to the sky, it quickly condensed into dark clouds, making the originally sunny mountain area become cloudy and windy.
