Chapter 219: The First Gathering of Seven from the Witch Academy
Of course, with the experience from the first ti, I naturally knew how terrifying the power of an exploding Angel Halo was.
But that was just a simple dissipation of holy light energy.
It looked intimidating, but if the opponent used it for a divine art, the power might be even more terrifying.
Even the Sea Race was stunned by this operation.
It was the first ti they knew that the Angel Halo had such a use.
And very quickly, the Sea Race's ritual began as they wished.
In the middle of it, rituals from other academies lit up, but I didn't even bother with them.
Because the Sea Race's ritual would shatter them all.
This was the first ti I had seen another academy's ritual comnce.
The last ti was at the Wizard Academy, but unfortunately, I wasn't there to witness the grandeur of their Truth Ritual's beginning.
But the Sea Race's ritual was a bit more impressive than our Witch Academy's Witch Tea Party.
At this mont, the surrounding seawater seed to be rejoicing for the successful start of the ritual.
Countless waves paved the way for the Sea's Marvelous Crown, and the other Sea Race mbers were arrayed like guarding soldiers.
The churning waves transford into water spirits, cheering for the one to be crowned as if stars were surrounding the moon.
At this mont, a fissure extended from the sea surface into the distance, as if an invisible force had parted the sea, revealing the exquisite corals and shells on the seabed.
Spirits ford from seawater erged from the corals or sea clams, cheering for the high-seated Enala.
They held up freshly collected pearls, adorning them with golden branches ford from the tides.
They would, through a perfect ritual, accept the blessings of all the spirits of the seawater, which would ultimately form into the Marvelous Crown for Enala's coronation.
Under the afterglow of the setting sun, this path had taken a great deal of ti, but we had witnessed the birth of the Marvelous Crown with our own eyes.
The tides at this mont transford into a bridge connecting the high position with the cheering waters.
The spirits ford from seawater cheered for her at this mont, and Enala would be crowned amidst the applause.
And Enala, crowned with the Sea's Marvelous Crown, would also sprinkle the blessing of the new king upon the spirits ford from the waters!
With this, the ritual welcod its final act.
The seawater gradually cald, the spirits ford from seawater faded away, the parted tides closed, and the bridge to the high position collapsed at this mont.
Only the blessing that descended after the ritual ended remained.
And the triggered hidden rule.
At this mont, the Royal Sea Race Academy among the Sea Race scored one point, currently ranking second.
This heavy point once again pressed down on the heads of the other academies.
“Thank you for your efforts in helping us hold the ritual.”
“It was nothing. Not to be rude, but no one really ca to snatch your ritual this ti. It was the most relaxed ritual I've ever seen.”
I looked at the surrounding seawater and then at Enala, who was now crowned with the Marvelous Crown, and said with a smile.
Perhaps this was a natural advantage, sothing one couldn't be envious of.
“Then next, let's fulfill the last item of the contract,” I said.
Once this step was completed, our contract would also end here.
I needed to be ready to run at any mont.
After all, I wasn't sure if the other party would strike with the most fatal blow when I was at my most relaxed, just like those two from the Holy Angel Academy before.
“We Sea Race will naturally fulfill the contract.”
“Then what is the hidden rule triggered after you completed the Sea's Marvelous Crown Ritual?”
I looked at them curiously.
They didn't seem to have obtained any kind of permission similar to what we got after our Witch Tea Party.
Could it be that they needed to rely on their own hands to create a tsunami?
Just as I was worrying, Enala took off the Sea's Marvelous Crown from her head.
Along with the removal of the crown, even the protective seawater receded.
“The one crowned with the Marvelous Crown will have one chance to release the power of the crown. The released power is uncontrollable, but it will accumulate power for the seawater in an entire area, ultimately causing a tsunami.”
“Is it that simple?”
I looked at the Marvelous Crown she handed over.
It really just creates a tsunami?
I thought it could command the seawater to do more things.
“Yeah, what else did you want?”
Enala asked in a huff.
“Nothing, it's just that I had too high expectations for your ritual.”
“Stop the nonsense and take it quickly.”
“You don't feel the slightest bit of reluctance?”
“Do you want it or not! If you don't, you'll be the one breaking the contract first!”
“Of course I want it.”
I took out my flying broom.
The first thing I chose to do after getting the Marvelous Crown was to run.
Although I was confident I could crush them, who knew if the other party was so old fox just waiting for this mont?
It's always right to be careful.
Arrogance is also undesirable.
And at this ti, Enala was also dumbfounded watching run away right after getting the Marvelous Crown.
Did she fail to follow my train of thought?
What was I running for?
Without the constraint of the contract, shouldn't it be them, the Sea Race, who should be worried?
She had already secretly told the other Sea Race mbers to leave quickly in case I suddenly turned violent.
This was truly cautious.
After being cautious, I also put away the Sea's Marvelous Crown.
Now was not the ti to use it imdiately.
There was only one chance, so of course, it was best for everyone to discuss it together.
I sensed the markers of the Teleportation Summoning Spell.
At this mont, only one marker was intact.
“What's the situation, the marker was broken?”
I frowned slightly.
Although I knew the markers were easy to break, but this… the probability of them breaking was too high, wasn't it?
And they probably wouldn't break the markers on their own initiative.
It was either they died, or they were in such a fierce battle that they couldn't pay attention to whether the marker was shattered by energy.
But regardless, I prepared to summon the only remaining marker over first.
After all, I needed cooperation.
Once she ca over, I would know her general location, and I could go find them.
Anyway, my mobility was high, so the probability of finding them was still very high.
As the Teleportation Summoning Spell was cast, a figure appeared before .
“Big… Big Sis Xiao Han! You summoned !”
“Hm? Minian?”
Should I say it was unexpected or not at all?
“That's right! I went through great pains to preserve this marker! It was so that Big Sis Xiao Han, you could call over to watch a good show at any ti!”
“Alright…”
“Big Sis Xiao Han, you succeeded, right? You didn't even bring us along to watch the Sea Race's ritual. That's the second successful ritual after the Witch Tea Party! What a pity!”
“Alright, alright, stop the nonsense and get to the point.”
I held my forehead and cast a Mute spell on this girl.
Was she this talkative when she was grouped with Tan Han?
“Wuwu! Mmm… Mmm!”
“It's undone. Really, if you talk so much, be careful that trouble doesn't co from your mouth.”
Why didn't I notice this girl was such a chatterbox at the party Tan Han held before?
Was it because everyone was a stranger back then and was more reserved, and now that we know each other, she's let loose?
“Thank you, Big Sis Xiao Han. Phew, being muted is the greatest enemy I've encountered in this life!”
“Let's talk business. Where were you guys originally? Did you split up?”
I asked.
“Oh, okay. We were originally at the Dragon Blood Nest. We were moving separately. Big Sis Xiao Han, you left in a hurry, so we only decided on many things later, like the eting point and stuff.”
“You guys even discussed a eting point?”
“Yeah, didn't you want to execute the plan to flood the Fallen Land, Big Sis Xiao Han? After the Sea Race's ritual was held, we roughly knew you had succeeded in persuading them. But by then, the Tea Party had already ended. We urgently gathered again to prepare to help. Hehe, we're also quietly contributing, you know.”
“Thank you.”
“It's okay, it's for avenging Big Sis Baihui! We all agree with this crazy plan. And Big Sis Xiao Han, you don't know how fierce Big Sis Tan Han is! With just one sentence, she made the Holy Angel Academy give up the idea of holding a ritual. The Wizard Academy too. After the Tea Party, we got another qualification to designate a location. The Wizard Academy had suffered a loss before and directly retreated to the Wizard Tower.”
“Tan Han, is that fierce?”
“Aiya People who've been beaten are always more obedient.”
“That's true, but can we please not get sidetracked? We need to gather in the end. Where should we et them?”
I corrected her.
“Ah, this… That's true, ha… But if it's for gathering, it's not that troubleso for Big Sis Xiao Han. Big Sis Tan Han told to protect the marker and bring this information to you. I didn't even dare to use spells randomly. One transformation spell from Big Sis Tan Han and this marker would shatter… Er… I know, I'll get to the point…”
Under my murderous gaze, Minian finally realized she had gone off-topic again.
“Big Sis Xiao Han, you just need to shoot your unique Fireball five tis into the sky. It's best if it's a bit loud. The place where you shoot will be the gathering point we'll rush to next. After all… everything depends on what Big Sis Xiao Han, you got from the Sea Race.”
“Is that so…”
I nodded.
If I wanted my modded Fireballs to be more eye-catching, their explosions would be even more conspicuous than fireworks.
“Yes, that's it! If possible, it's best to do it once in a while, in case they don't notice or get lost along the way.”
“Mhm.”
I nodded and imdiately shot a Fireball into the sky.
The Fireball flying into the sky created a magnificent explosion against the darkening sky, and I fired five such Fireballs in a row.
“Wow… Is that really a Fireball? Such a terrifying blast radius. Big Sis Xiao Han, teach , I want to join the Fireball God Cult!”
At this mont, Minian watched cast the Fireballs with envy, couldn't help but exclaim, and quickly hugged my thigh.
“Alright, you. Wouldn't it be fine if you just studied hard on your own?”
I shook my right leg, which was being held tightly by this girl, with a slight look of disdain, but it didn't budge at all.
“Is studying hard enough?”
“Probably… not just that. For you, you might need to study even harder.”
“Wuwuwu… If I don't study well, I can't even play with Fireballs properly?”
“Yes, if you don't study well, you can't even play with Fireballs properly.”
I recalled the epiphany I had in the Fire Rain Domain before, understanding why the senior students who didn't have high Spirit Vision were so eager for high-consumption spellbooks.
Because for them, high-consumption spells provided a larger platform for casting, an opportunity to display their own understanding and insights, and sothing that could maximize their strength.
“By the way, Big Sis Xiao Han, the phenonon we saw at the World Tree earlier, that… probably wasn't your doing, right? You should have been busy with the Sea Race's ritual at that ti?”
“Alright, don't try to know too much about things you shouldn't.”
I knocked this girl hard.
Why was her curiosity so strong?
“Then… then can the Sea Race's ritual really cause a tsunami after it's held? Is it like having permission after the Tea Party ends? Can you show it to ?”
“No.”
I refused her concisely.
Such an important thing would not be given to others to look at and play with like a toy.
“Wuwuwu… Big Sis Xiao Han, how could you be like this?”
“If you had acted even a little bit reliably, I wouldn't have refused so bluntly.”
“Then I'll act a bit more reliable now. Big Sis Xiao Han, can I see it?”
“Then I would refuse you tactfully. Still no.”
Here, at the junction of the sea area and the Fallen Land, I released the signal again.
But the first to arrive were not Tan Han and the others, but people from other academies.
However, they ran away imdiately after seeing .
I was too lazy to chase them, not knowing if they were scared off or went back to report.
And people from the academies in the Fallen Land also ca over.
For them, I had no need to show rcy.
If an enemy cos from afar, they must be eliminated no matter how far!
“Looking at you, you must be from the Imp Academy, right? It's fine, I'll let you go back to the Fallen Land. Pass a ssage for . Our Witch Academy is very angry about what you did. All of you, wash yourselves clean in the Fallen Land and wait for us to co and slaughter you.”
After saying that, I kicked the person away and let them run.
I had no good feelings for the academies of the Fallen Land, especially the Imp Academy.
According to the academy's description of the Imp Academy, how were they qualified to participate in the exchange competition?
The thought of the Imp Academy reminded of that phone call.
The tone of the other party was really unbearable.
Those actions also made sick.
If I could, I really wanted to erase these academies, but I didn't have that kind of strength right now.
Even if I did master such strength, I still couldn't do it.
Then what about becoming a Transcendent Witch?
Isn't the Witch Academy a place that teaches one to beco a Transcendent Witch?
Sooner or later, I will also see the scenery at the Transcendent level.
“But… even if I reach the Transcendent level, I probably still can't do it. Maybe there are deeper things involved, otherwise, how could the Imp Academy dare to exist in this world so blatantly as an academy?”
“They're here, they're here! Big Sis Xiao Han! That's them, right!”
With a shout from Minian, my thoughts were pulled back.
The sky had now fallen into darkness.
I didn't know if it was because we were close to the Fallen Land, but everything around had beco pitch black.
And Minian had already started a fire with so deadwood on the side.
Actually, if we were talking about lighting, among the spoils I confiscated, there was a pile of lighting alchemy items.
I had deliberately kept quite a few of them.
They were all small gadgets with solidified lighting spells.
Even though they were small gadgets, I didn't have the lighting spell itself.
After all, this spell was a lesser spell, the kind of small spellbook without a ritual inside.
It seems I'll have to supplent my stock of lesser spellbooks after the competition when I have ti.
I've sowhat neglected the functionality of this type of spell.
“Tan Han, as expected, you're the first to arrive.”
With Tan Han's arrival, it beca a bit more lively here.
After all, with her, there were now three people.
If the agreed-upon Su Ningmu, Hedi, and Lan Baihui also arrived, there would be about six.
Still missing four that I haven't seen.
That's understandable, after all, the map is so large, it's inevitable that so accidents would occur.
As soon as Tan Han arrived, I explained the situation in detail.
After all, if Tan Han proposed any suggestions, I would consider them very valuable for reference.
I even took out the Sea's Marvelous Crown, which made Minian watch with envy from the side.
And as ti went on, before the remaining three arrived, we welcod an unexpected person.
“It really is Yang Yuehan. I was just saying, a signal made of such fireballs, probably only you could do it.”
“Shi Huiyu… I didn't expect you to co.”
“Going solo was too tough. When I saw the signal here, I decided to co over and take a gamble. Looks like I've found the main group.”
Shi Huiyu's face was filled with an expression of relief.
After all, it was already night.
Without companions, even sleeping would be unsettling.
Now that the two great powers of the Witch Academy were here, was there a safer place than this on the entire map?
“You guys are now…”
“Discussing a world-shaking plan!”
At this mont, Minian could no longer hold back her desire to talk.
The preparations for the plan to flood the Fallen Land were all complete.
This all needed more people to witness!
After Minian had blurted it all out, Shi Huiyu was also shocked by this plan.
She just wanted to ask if we were really participating in the sa exchange competition.
And at this mont, Minian, the chatterbox, finally had a stable audience to listen to her, and she didn't stop at all.
It wasn't until the other three arrived one after another that seven witches from the Witch Academy had gathered here.
If nothing unexpected happened, no one else would probably co.
Shi Huiyu was an exception after all.
“Looks like everyone is very tired. Let's rest tonight. We'll take turns on watch duty, it'll be safer that way.”
Tan Han said at this mont.
“Mhm, let's conserve our energy and go all out tomorrow.”
I echoed in agreent.
I had originally planned to finish it today as soon as possible, but plans can't keep up with changes.
There are too many variables at night, and I'm tired too, and so is everyone else present.
Insufficient energy can easily lead to accidents, plus it took a lot of ti for everyone to gather.
“But we need to re-select a place to rest. The terrain here is not very good.”
“Eh? But this place has a very open view…”
Minian said with disappointnt.
After all, she was the one who started the fire here.
