Rise of the Dark Witch

Noticing that Messenger Kruru's eyes were on him, King Biroro trembled, and he couldn't help but have an ominous premonition in his heart.

King Biluoluo turned his head away and avoided the sight of the Krulu envoy, "... Emperor Roja is so powerful, how can we kill him?"

Messenger Krulu looked at King Birolo's performance with a hint of displeasure in his eyes.

However, it did not express its unhappiness.

"Ahem."

After it cleared its throat.

"Emperor Roya will definitely appear in the next level two demon plant promotion ceremony. When the time comes, we..." Messenger Krulu told his plan with a gloomy face.

Hearing that the Kruru messenger had a plan to kill Emperor Roja, several other second-level tree spirits present immediately pricked up their ears.

Just listening, they soon realized something was wrong.

Doing this does have a high probability of killing Emperor Roja, but the problem is that they have to sacrifice the Pita Tree Spirit Kingdom!

It has been thousands of years since the establishment of the Tower Tree Spirit Kingdom. They have been planning for thousands of years for the promotion ceremony of the second-level magic plant. They finally got to where they are today. Is it easy?

In the end, the success fell short because of a word from Messenger Krulru?

Looking at the twinkling eyes of King Biroro and others, could Messenger Kruru not understand what they were thinking?

It snorted coldly and was about to severely rebuke these guys who had no regard for the justice of the tree spirits and only thought about their own interests.

Just when it was about to curse angrily, its tone suddenly softened as it thought of something.

"I know you are not willing to give in, but there is no better way."

"I'm not asking you to sacrifice, I have to do this."

"Just think about it, with Emperor Roya here, is it possible for you to complete the promotion ceremony of the second-level magic plant?"

"It can't be done, right?"

Seeing that King Biroro and the other dryads seemed to have something to say, Messenger Krulu interrupted them and continued:

"Are you planning to let me continue to ask for help from the Ancient Spirit Palace? Let the Ancient Spirit Palace send more tree spirits?"

Seeing King Birolo and the other dryads nodding, Messenger Krulu sneered.

"Haha, our three second-level tree spirits and nine overlord-level monsters were defeated miserably in the hands of Emperor Roya. How many do you think we need to send if we want the promotion ceremony of the second-level magic plant to proceed smoothly under the obstruction of Emperor Roya? assistance?"

"Three second-level tree spirits and nine-headed overlord-level monsters will definitely not be enough."

"Then five second-level dryads?"

"Or seven second-level tree spirits?"

"As the ruler of the Endless Wild Forest, Ancient Spirit Palace can send out ten second-level tree spirits and thirty overlord-level monsters if it wishes."

"With the full support of the Ancient Spirit Palace, even Emperor Roya will never be able to stop your Pita Tree Spirit Kingdom's promotion ceremony for the second-level demonic plant."

"The problem is that……"

"Why?"

"Why did the Ancient Spirit Palace pay such a high price for your Pita Tree Spirit Kingdom?"

"Can you come up with anything valuable?"

Messenger Krulu asked this, making the faces of the other three second-level tree spirits present suddenly turn extremely pale.

Yes, why should Gulingdian help them?

This time, they were bleeding heavily in order to invite three second-level tree spirits and nine-headed overlord-level monsters from the Ancient Spirit Hall for assistance.

As a result, the three second-level tree spirits and the nine-headed overlord-level monsters that came to the aid of the Ancient Spirit Palace were attacked by Emperor Roja, and only one tree spirit, the envoy of Kruru, survived.

Although the promotion ceremony for the second-level demon strain had not yet begun, the assistance from the Ancient Spirit Palace was killed by Emperor Luo Ya, but the reward promised to the Ancient Spirit Palace was indispensable.

It would be better to say that Gu Ling Temple had suffered so much loss and they should be thankful that they did not ask for extra compensation from them.

Do you still want Gu Ling Temple to continue to support you?

Let Guling Palace send more strong men?

Yes, yes, you can provide a reward that can make Gu Lingdian's heart flutter.

No?

Gu Lingdian is not a fool!

Looking at the faces of King Birolo and others, knowing that they had figured it out, Messenger Krulu continued:

"Emperor Roya is definitely a powerful enemy of all the tree spirits in our Endless Wild Forest!"

"He is only a second-level wizard now. He is so powerful and has caused us such heavy losses. What will happen when he becomes a third-level wizard in the future?"

"If he is lucky enough to step into the fourth level, our Endless Desolate Forest may never have peace, right?"

"So we must nip him in the cradle of growth!"

The Kururu smacked his hands on the table.

"Anyway, with Emperor Roja here, your Pita Tree Spirit Kingdom's promotion ceremony for the second-level magic plant will definitely fail."

"In that case, why not make a contribution to our Endless Wild Forest?"

"We will never forget your efforts."

"As long as you can successfully kill Emperor Roja, the rewards afterwards will definitely be huge."

After some persuasion by Messenger Krulu, King Birolo and others could only nod in agreement with a bitter look on their faces.

They really didn't want to agree, but Messenger Krulru's words were so reasonable that they couldn't find any fault at all.

They also want to find a plan that can not only make their promotion ceremony of the second-level magic plant go smoothly, but also kill Emperor Roya.

But does this perfect solution really exist?

Life is often like this, and there is no optimal solution at all.

They can only endure the discomfort and accept the reality.

Soon, they reached an agreement.

Kill Emperor Roya at all costs!

They discussed the details of the plan in hushed tones around the room.

In order to prevent the plan from leaking out again and causing Emperor Roja to escape, only the four tree spirits present and a few first-level tree spirits knew about this plan.

…

Time passes day by day.

The day for the promotion ceremony of the second-level magic plant finally arrived.

The moment the ceremony was officially held, the human wizards who had been waiting outside for a long time rushed in immediately.

King Birolo stood on the top of the ancient tree that was being promoted, watching from a thousand meters above the wizards who broke in and wanted to stop the ceremony.

The performance of King Hulda and others of the Ashbone Empire was as expected from the beginning, and they could not threaten this ceremony at all.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Pita Dryad Kingdom will soon have a second-level magic plant and become a first-rate force in the Endless Wild Forest.

But……

Watching Emperor Roya use witchcraft to return to the source and transform into a three-headed hell dog, rushing in front of it unstoppably.

It clenched its teeth, and the hatred in its eyes was so strong that it almost overflowed.

"Emperor Roja, if it weren't for you..."

"If you hadn't appeared..."

"Damn it——"

It took a deep breath and managed to calm down.

After calming down, it contacted the Kruru Messenger and other dryads who were preparing secretly.

No matter how much you hate or get angry now, everything is meaningless.

Only by killing Emperor Roja can the hatred in its heart be relieved!

Seeing that Emperor Roya was less than one kilometer away from it, he was about to hit the ancient tree under it.

Killing intent flashed in its eyes.

"Emperor Roya, go to hell!"

The next moment.

Gathering all the power of the Pita Tree Spirit Kingdom, it has grown to more than two thousand meters. In a while, it will become a second-level demon tree with a height of more than three thousand meters.

A tree trunk hundreds of meters in diameter suddenly cracked!

Just like a crocodile that has been lurking for a long time when it sees its prey, its terrifying mouth suddenly opens!

Inside the cracked tree trunk, there was darkness that seemed to lead to an abyss.

Not only the people in the Ashbone Empire, but also the other tree spirits in the Pita Tree Spirit Kingdom were confused by this sudden change.

After all, only a handful of dryads knew about this plan.

"Why did that tree suddenly split?"

"What's going on? Aren't the tree spirits going to hold a promotion ceremony for the second-level magic plant?"

"No! It's a trap!"

Roja, who transformed into a three-headed hell dog, looked at the ancient tree in the sky that suddenly opened a huge abyss in front of him. How could he not know that he was being plotted?

"hateful!"

Roja immediately stopped and wanted to run back.

However, the terrifying attraction coming from deep within the tree trunk made it impossible for him to escape!

When he resisted the suction force with all his strength and walked forward step by step with difficulty.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! ——

A pair of pitch-black roots stretched out from the depths of the tree trunk, tying up Roja and pulling him towards the trunk.

The power of these roots is so great that even overlord-level monsters have no power to resist.

Roja only stood in a stalemate for a few seconds, and then he couldn't hold on anymore. He was tied up by the roots and pulled into the tree.

At this time, the cracked hole in the tree trunk was closed again, and the whole tree turned into a strong cage to lock Roja in.

"Emperor Roya——"

"grandfather--"

"Save people——"

Listening to the anxious and angry shouts of the Ashbone Empire and others, King Biluoluo sneered.

"Still want to save people? If you fall into our trap, a third-level wizard will lose a layer of skin!"

Sensing Emperor Roja struggling crazily inside the tree trunk, King Biloro took the final step decisively.

Transform the power of life into the power of death!

Life and death are just a matter of thought.

The power of life and the power of death can be converted into each other.

Plant-type magic plants have extremely huge vitality. If the vitality of a first-level magic plant is converted into magic power, it is no less than 100 million units.

The vitality contained in the second-level magic plant is hundreds of thousands of times that of the first-level magic plant!

Moreover, they also have the power of earth veins under the earth, which can continuously absorb the power of earth veins and restore vitality.

By converting the power of life possessed by the plant-type demonic plant into the power of death, the amount obtained is extremely terrifying, and the damage it can cause is extremely huge!

And they don't just use the power of death to attack the enemy. They will also further use the power of death, transforming the power of death into a force that can not only kill the enemy in front of them, but even if the enemy successfully escapes by means of life-saving means, it can also kill the enemy. A powerful curse that haunts him throughout his life!

It's a pity that the power is great, but the price is painful.

I saw that the ancient tree under King Biluoluo, which was originally full of life and was only one step away from becoming a second-level demonic plant, was now shrouded in the aura of death.

The green leaves are withering and falling, the branches are dry and broken, and the trunks are constantly cracking...

The whole tree smelled of death.

Not only this tree, but also dozens of other first-level demonic plants in the Pita Tree Spirit Kingdom were affected.

Under the influence of this death energy, all the first-level demonic strains in the Pita Tree Spirit Kingdom lost the possibility of advancing to the second-level demonic strains.

They destroyed thousands of years of hard work by the Dryad Kingdom.

All this is because...

Looking at Emperor Roja who was trapped inside the tree trunk and struggling crazily under the curse formed by the power of death, King Biluolo smiled ferociously.

"Death! Die! Die!——"

"Damn Emperor Roja! Go and die quickly——"

Dozens of first-level demonic plants were sacrificed and released by four second-level tree spirits and multiple first-level tree spirits, forming a powerful trap that would cause even a third-level wizard to lose a layer of skin if caught.

What's more, it's a second-level wizard?

Roya is trapped in the death cage of the trees.

A powerful curse formed by the power of death acted on him, corroding his body and eroding his spirit.

The quality of this curse is not particularly good, but quantity is better than quantity!

Under a powerful curse comparable to hundreds or even hundreds of billions of units of magic power, even the strongest level two wizards can only struggle towards death step by step.

Looking at Emperor Roja who was getting weaker little by little, King Biluolo smiled ferociously.

"What about a genius wizard?"

"So what if I hope to reach the fourth level?"

"It's not like you died in my hands in the end..."

Sudden!

King Birolo discovered that Emperor Roja was trapped inside the tree trunk, and for some reason his body was emitting a dazzling light.

"ah?"

It didn't know what Emperor Roya was doing at first.

But in the next moment, Emperor Roja's huge body transformed into the Origin Transformation suddenly exploded!

The terrifying shock wave formed by billions of units of magic power spread in all directions.

The powerful death cage formed by sacrificing a half-step second-level magic plant started to shake violently.

"Want to break out of the prison by self-destruction?"

"It's a pity that it's still a little bit worse..."

King Birolo's eyes widened before he finished speaking.

Because after the self-destruction, Emperor Roya did not disappear, but used the Origin Transformation to transform into another overlord-level monster!

Then--

"Rumble--"

Emperor Roya blew himself up again!

After enduring two self-destruction attacks, the tree trunk cage shook even more violently.

"Fortunately, I persisted..."

Then King Biluoluo was happy for less than a second when the explosion sounded again.

Rumble——

Self-destruction once, self-destruction twice, self-destruction three times...

"Is it over yet?"

"You're addicted to self-destruction, aren't you?"

"Let me see how many bottles of overlord-level magic beast casting materials you have!"

A normal self-destruction attack would injure oneself, but Roja self-destructed one after another and seemed to have no injuries.

"Is it because his magic weapon withered Mitō?"

"Witch weapons that can superimpose damage-free..."

"It's really troublesome!"

King Birolo clenched his fists.

After successfully trapping Emperor Roya, it felt that its plan to kill Emperor Roya was 99% successful.

Even if Emperor Roya is lucky enough to survive, he will definitely be seriously injured, and there is a high probability that he will be left with injuries that will never heal for the rest of his life.

Under the influence of the injury, it is likely that he will not be able to become a third-level wizard.

Even if he still becomes a third-level wizard in the end, it is absolutely impossible to reach the fourth-level realm.

However, looking at Emperor Roja who kept self-destructing, King Birolo clenched his fists and kept mumbling.

"It will be okay. It will definitely succeed. Emperor Roja will definitely die here..."

Under its prayers, the fourteenth self-destruction of Emperor Roja was ushered in.

boom--

With this self-destruction, the cage formed at the cost of sacrificing a half-step second-level demonic plant was forcibly broken open by Emperor Roya!

I saw Emperor Roja's spiritual body escaping through this opening, flying into the distance at a speed that could not be caught by the naked eye, and disappeared.

"how come?"

King Birolo collapsed weakly.

They paid such a high price, sacrificing the thousands of years of accumulation of the Pita Dryad Kingdom, and the result was only the destruction of Emperor Roja's body?

Let Emperor Roja suffer a little mental injury?

Emperor Roya only needs a few years of training to recover?

It’s so tragic!

The price is too high!

When almost all the tree spirits in the Pita Tree Spirit Kingdom lost their minds because of the successful escape of Emperor Roya and the failure of the promotion ceremony of the second-level magic plant.

The wizards of the Ashbone Empire looked extremely excited.

"Success?"

"Quickly retreat!"

"Walk--"

The wizards who had been desperately attacking the center of the Pita Dryad Kingdom now all fled to the outside of the Pita Dryad Kingdom.

In just a few minutes, not even a wizard could be seen in the Pita Dryad Kingdom.

The tree spirits did not stop the wizard's evacuation.

They just looked at the ancient tree with pale faces that exuded a strong death aura and was just a hair away from becoming a second-level demonic plant.

Just a little bit closer!

They have worked hard for thousands of years, but the result is...

"woo woo woo woo……"

Tens of thousands of dryads were sobbing softly, and a sad atmosphere enveloped the entire Pita dryad kingdom.

King Birolo, who stood on the tree trunk and looked down at the Pita Dryad Kingdom, looked at the messy country and the crying people, covering his chest in pain.

Every time its heart beats, its expression becomes distorted.

It hurts so much!

It was so painful!

As a king, it should have come out to comfort everyone at this time, but because it was so heartbroken, it was difficult for it to even speak, let alone comfort other people.

When King Birolo was clutching his chest and unable to stand in pain, a figure silently appeared beside it.

"Alas, it failed." Messenger Krulru looked extremely sad, "...Emperor Roja is too strong, really too strong..."

"But it's not irreversible."

The words of Messenger Krulu made King Birolo raise his head.

It asked in disbelief: "Can it be saved? Do we still have a way to kill Emperor Roja?"

"It is impossible to kill Emperor Roja, but..." Messenger Kruuru gently stroked the ancient tree next to him that was filled with death energy. "The promotion ceremony of the second-level magic plant is not over yet. We still have Chance."

"This ancient tree has been infected by the death energy. Even dozens of other first-level ancient trees have lost the possibility of advancing to the second level due to the death energy infection..."

"No, there is still a chance!"

"Where does the opportunity come from?"

"The death energy has just been born and has not yet penetrated deep into the interior. There is still a slight possibility if we act now."

"real?"

"If we were together...are you willing to take a gamble?"

"Okay! Take a gamble!"

King Birolo and the others gathered all the tree spirits in the Pita Tree Spirit Kingdom.

Millions of tree spirits sat down around the ancient tree, and under the guidance of the Krullu messenger, continued the promotion ceremony of the second-level magic plant.

This time there was no interference from the wizard, and the ceremony went extremely smoothly.

I saw that the ancient tree was filled with death energy and had stopped growing. As the ceremony progressed, the death energy turned into vitality, and it slowly grew under the nourishment of vitality.

Is it really possible?

Seeing the ancient tree growing as the ceremony progressed, King Biluoluo was so excited that his heart almost jumped out of his chest.

only……

Look at the ancient trees that are growing slower and slower and about to stop.

"As expected, it still doesn't work?" King Biluoluo sighed.

At this time, it saw that the Kurulu Messenger beside him was actually exuding a warm glow of life.

Seeing the body of the Bikrulu messenger merging towards the ancient tree, it was suddenly stunned.

"Wait! Master Krulru, what are you doing? Stop it!"

"Ahem, I'm already old. My comrades and partners were killed by Emperor Roja. There's no point in continuing to live... It's better to dedicate my limited life to the prosperity of the tree spirit clan... As long as I can make this two-year-old tree If the super magic plant takes shape, then all my efforts will be worth it..."

Messenger Krulu spoke intermittently, and his body slowly came to life and merged with the ancient tree.

Seeing the Kruru messenger who was willing to sacrifice himself to make the promotion ceremony of the second level magic plant successful, all the dryads present were so moved that they almost cried.

They had previously doubted Messenger Kruru, thinking that everything Messenger Messenger did was to take revenge on Emperor Roja. Who would have thought that it would be willing to sacrifice itself to fulfill them?

All for the prosperity of the dryads?

I didn't expect that the Kurulu Messenger would be such a great tree spirit!

They were ashamed that they had doubted the character of the Kruru messenger!

It is a pity that even if the great second-level tree spirit, the Kruru Messenger, died, the ancient tree in front of him was still a little short of entering the second-level realm.

"We must not let Lord Krulru's sacrifice go to waste!"

"Since Lord Krulru is not enough, then count me in!"

"And I!"

"Me too!"

"Add me!"

One tree spirit after another stood up selflessly.

What’s even more surprising is that each of these tree spirits has a first-level strength!

Unexpectedly, these strong men who usually dominate and seem to be selfish are now willing to sacrifice themselves?

After setting an example, more dryads stepped forward.

As a result, the ancient tree that had stagnated in growth actually grew again.

One meter, two meters, three meters...

Growing slowly but unstoppably.

Finally, three thousand meters!

After sacrificing two second-level tree spirits, more than ten first-level tree spirits, and millions of ordinary tree spirits, the second-level ancient tree finally took shape!

Looking at the three-thousand-meter-tall second-level ancient tree in front of them, all the remaining tree spirits could not help but burst into tears.

"Woo, finally succeeded."

"Our Pita Dryad Kingdom finally has a second-level magic plant!"

"We will remember your sacrifice for a lifetime! It will be passed down from generation to generation in the Pita Tree Spirit Kingdom!"

For this second-level ancient tree, the Pita Dryad Kingdom has sacrificed too much.

But as long as you succeed, it's all worth it!

King Biluoluo clenched his fists and stared at the second-level ancient tree in front of him, crying and laughing on his face.

While shedding tears, she couldn't help but laugh. (End of chapter)
