Chapter 350: Darksun Apostle
Under normal expectations, the birth of the Evil God’s vessel should have occurred after Elena had been pregnant for a full ten months.
However, due to Janna Roland’s unexpected interference, the “Evil God’s” birth had to be brought forward by one month.
At the sa ti, to cover its tracks, the “Evil God” deliberately stirred up great commotion in Turin City, and split off a portion of its 【Divinity】 to attach to Elena, in order to draw the attention of Grace Eva and other official wizards.
Thus taking advantage of the chaos.
It could be said that, up to this mont, every step of this prematurely-born “Evil God’s” plan had been carried out with great success.
Not only had it lured most of the wizards from within the Turin wizard gathering place into Turin, but it had also, with the help of the 【Darksun Laws】, successfully sealed this group of wizards inside Turin City.
Although, when divine power had not yet fully recovered, to rashly use the 【Darksun Laws】 in the 【Material Plane】 would exact a trendous price from any “Divine Descender”.
Yet every ti the Darksun Apostle—Utaz-Darksun—recalled the mory of being humiliated by Anthony-Rook and Lucia Heigel joining forces in the past, the searing hatred burned like a fla, roasting the depths of Utaz-Darksun’s heart without pause.
Therefore, Utaz-Darksun’s top priority now was to seize the life force of those nearby through the spread of plague, and to complete this revival in secrecy and caution.
"Hm?"
Just as Utaz-Darksun was extracting the life force of the surrounding living beings, a surge of extrely pure life energy suddenly appeared within his perception.
"This is quite an unexpected surprise——"
After a brief hesitation, the impatient-to-revive Utaz-Darksun could no longer bother to discern what was amiss, and imdiately began absorbing the ever-surging life force.
"Sure enough, they all died completely."
Green light quickly blood from Janna Roland’s hands.
Looking at the plants that quietly grew and then swiftly withered under the power of the 【Law of Growth Fragnt】, Janna Roland’s brows knit slightly, then quickly relaxed again.
"This also proves that Professor Uta’s plan is indeed workable."
The revival of an Evil God required a massive blood sacrifice of the life and souls of countless living beings.
However, if it was rely a descent ritual for an Evil God’s apostle, then it would not require such an elaborate process.
According to Professor Uta’s intelligence, the “Evil God’s vessel” mingling among the crowd this ti was actually just an “Evil God’s apostle”—that is, the birth vessel of the Darksun Apostle.
It was precisely for this reason that, without special investigative thods, even an official wizard would not be able to discern their true body.
And this was the point that puzzled Janna Roland.
She truly could not understand how Professor Uta had, amidst the vast crowd, imdiately recognized that the plain, frail infant was actually the birth vessel of the “Darksun Apostle”.
"Could it be that Professor Uta, like Headmaster Anthony, also possessed an extrely strong perception ability?"
While she continued to use the power of growth to hasten the plants’ developnt in the back mountain, Janna Roland’s mind kept producing various guesses.
But very soon, she had no ti to be distracted, focusing all her strength on unleashing the power of the 【Law of Growth Fragnt】 to cut off the Darksun Apostle from absorbing the life force of ordinary people—
"That will do, Janna."
She did not know how much ti had passed, but just as Janna was about to collapse from exhaustion, Professor Uta’s voice ca through as a tily transmission to her ear.
"So it’s finally over——"
Because of using the power of the law for such a long ti, Janna Roland’s face had beco unnaturally pale.
Although using the power of laws did not consu magic power, for her spirit power and soul, there was still a continuous drain.
"In order not to startle the snake, Professor Uta truly exhausted every possible thod."
When Professor Uta explained this mission to Janna, she had also asked why he didn’t take advantage of the fact that the enemy had not yet fully revived, and simply eliminate him directly.
Professor Uta’s answer was very straightforward—it was to reduce casualties among ordinary people.
The essence of the 【Ritual of Divine Descension】 was that a 【Divine Descender】 would use certain thods to evade the 【Law】’s expulsion of this plane, thereby allowing a 【Clone】 to descend.
And the Darksun Apostle had until now remained dormant, silently growing, precisely because he was extrely confident in his concealnt thods, believing that the wizards of the Turin gathering place could not find him.
However, once he discovered that he was exposed, even if his current “vessel” had not yet achieved a true revival of divine power, he would still reveal without reservation his malice toward the living beings of the 【Material Plane】, dragging all the ordinary people of White Coral Academy to their graves with him.
It was precisely to prevent this possibility that Professor Uta had Janna hasten the growth of plants in the back mountain, using their life force to exchange for that of ordinary people.
anwhile, Professor Uta quietly used the power of the magic tower elsewhere to complete other arrangents.
The goal was to directly eliminate this threat while ensuring the safety of the vast majority of ordinary lives.
This also made Janna realize for the first ti that, to ordinary mortals, wizards were not rely a lofty transcendent group.
They were guardians, symbiotic partners, and bearers of the burden of resisting the Outer Gods—resisting any gods who harbored malice toward the 【Material Plane】.
Letting out a long breath, after withdrawing the power of the 【Law of Growth Fragnt】, Janna quickly left the back mountain and returned to stand behind Professor Uta.
Seeing that Janna had returned, Professor Uta continued to chant incantations.
With the surge of a vast energy, a complex magic array swiftly enveloped the entire back mountain, releasing powerful fluctuations of magical energy.
"Sister, is there an earthquake?"
In the back mountain, Sean—who had only just recovered from a serious illness—felt the violent tremors underfoot, and grabbed Jenny’s hand beside him, asking with slight fear.
"Don’t panic——as long as the wizard lord is still here, we will not be in danger."
Just as Jenny said, when the residents of Turin City felt the ground shake, their first reaction was not to flee, but to turn their gaze toward Professor Uta standing not far away.
Seeing that the wizard Uta was still there, they gradually relaxed, though their hands still clutched tightly onto anything nearby they could hold, waiting for the tremors to cease.
"What are these wizards up to?"
Because he had just consud quite a bit of pure life force, the still-recovering Utaz-Darksun was already able to open his eyes.
"This is clearly not an earthquake——"
Feeling the violent shaking from beneath him, a hint of doubt flashed in Utaz-Darksun’s blood-red eyes.
Until several dozen seconds later, as the shaking grew ever more intense, a shocking thought suddenly burst into his mind.
"No! This is clearly a sealing magic array!!"
