Rise of the Dark Witch

The production of the materials for the Return to Origin Transformation spell does not need to be as careful as the refining of the Ice Soul Dragon Crystal.

"ha--"

Roja shouted loudly.

"So la la——"

Iron ropes engraved with runes shot out from the walls of the room.

Poof! Poof! Poof! ——

The iron rope mercilessly penetrated the body of the ice dragon's remains.

Even though the ice dragon had been dead for many years, his body still struggled with pain due to conditioned reflexes.

Crackling——

Under the terrifying power of the ice dragon's remains, the iron ropes that penetrated the ice dragon's remains broke inch by inch.

"How dare a dead thing be arrogant in front of me?"

Roja narrowed his eyes.

Activate the wizard tower formation.

Finally, under the suppression of the wizard tower's power, the ice dragon's remains could no longer move.

When thousands of thigh-thick iron ropes successfully penetrated the remains of the ice dragon.

"Refining!"

The hot flames were injected into the body of the ice dragon's remains using the iron rope as a medium.

The entire body of the kilometer-long ice dragon's remains was immediately enveloped in flames. The ice dragon's remains struggled painfully under the burning flames, wailing desperately.

Looking at the struggling remains of the ice dragon, he listened to the desperate roar that reached his ears.

"You've been dead for who knows how many years, how come you still look like you're alive?"

"Even if the vitality of the fourth-level monster is very strong, is it too powerful?"

"If outsiders who don't know the truth see it, they will definitely think that the ice dragon is still alive."

If Roja didn't know what happened before and simply saw the ice dragon's remains struggling and wailing in the fire, he would probably have thought that the ice dragon's remains were still alive.

But He knows everything!

So the remains of the ice dragon are definitely dead!

"It's just the instinct left in the body, don't worry too much."

"Essentially, there is no difference from an octopus tentacle that can still twist."

For some reason, Roja always had an ominous premonition in his heart.

"Even the Ice Soul Dragon Crystal was successfully refined."

"What other questions could there be next?"

To prevent accidents.

He opens the Demonic Eye of True Knowledge that can see the future, and uses the Witness of Two Souls that can overlook the low-dimensional world from the high-dimensional world.

While observing the remains of the ice dragon, he continued to make the materials for the Origin Transformation spell.

The struggle of the remains of the ice dragon gradually became smaller, and the wailing sound gradually disappeared.

Not long after.

The remains of the ice dragon had melted into a mass of flesh and blood hundreds of meters in diameter.

Under the burning flames, this huge mass of flesh and blood evaporated impurities and was gradually purified.

The mass of flesh and blood slowly changed from hundreds of meters in diameter to hundreds of meters in diameter, to tens of meters in diameter, to several meters in diameter...

When the mass of flesh and blood was only the size of a basketball, the refining of the remains of the ice dragon into the material for the Return to Origin Transformation spell was successful!

Roja took out the container he prepared in advance and put the casting materials into the container.

"There were no accidents during the process."

"There seems to be no problem with the refined casting materials..."

He stared at the spellcasting materials in the container carefully.

If there is no problem visible to the naked eye, the proof of the two souls will be turned on.

With the help of the power of the Two Souls Certificate, he actually vaguely saw an unknown power.

These ominous powers carrying curses are hidden in the deepest parts of the ice dragon's remains, and can easily be missed even with the use of the Two Souls Certificate.

"This is……"

"curse?"

"I heard that the royal family of the Ice Dragon Empire are all cursed by the Ice Dragon clan."

"Is this the curse of the Royal Family of the Ice Dragon Empire?"

Looking at the curse that was far beyond his understanding, Roja couldn't help but worry.

He took out three bottles of Ice Soul Dragon Crystal that he had refined previously.

He used the Witness of Two Souls to carefully observe the Ice Soul Dragon Crystal for most of the day. He breathed a sigh of relief until he was sure that no curse was found.

Then, his eyes fell back on the spell-casting materials refined from the remains of the ice dragon.

"What's the curse up there?"

"If I use this bottle of casting materials to release the witchcraft phantom, will I be cursed?"

Roja, who thought that with the fourth-level ice dragon casting materials as his trump card, he would be able to reach the third level without fear of the fourth-level wizard, his eyebrows were furrowed.

An ominous gloom fell over him.

"The demise of the ice dragon clan is probably related to this curse."

"It's a curse that is so powerful that even the ice dragon clan cannot withstand it. Before we figure out what this curse is, it's better not to use it easily."

"Alas -" Roja sighed helplessly, "I finally got a bottle of level four ice dragon casting materials, but it turns out I can't use it?"

"Is there still justice?"

"Then my efforts over the years have not been wasted?"

"If it weren't for the fact that I learned the Shile Barrier, I could control the speed of time."

"Otherwise, I have spent twenty years refining the Ice Dragon Crystal, and the reward is only a bottle of cursed level 4 ice dragon casting materials. I will cry to death!"

There is a problem with the remuneration!

He lost money on this business!

Life is like this, how can it always be smooth sailing?

"Tell Fernanda when you meet him."

"I hope he can give me additional compensation."

Roja depressedly put the fourth-level ice dragon casting materials into the space ring.

He left the room where he had been for twenty years.

The Shile barrier arranged in the room quickly collapsed without Roja's continuous injection of time elements.

Looking at the outside world, only three years have passed.

Luo Ya couldn't help but feel like a dream in his heart.

He has spent decades in the Shile Barrier. When he left the barrier, it was only a few years ago.

"Is this the power of time?"

"When my cultivation level becomes stronger in the future and I learn more powerful time witchcraft, maybe I can speed up time by hundreds or thousands of times?"

"A year for someone else is equivalent to a thousand years for me?"

The thought of that possibility.

He couldn't help but sigh——

"Time is indeed the most terrifying power of time!"

"Although space has the same name as time, and the two are often mentioned together, it gives the impression that they are just like Murong in the south of Beiqiao Peak. The two seem to have the same name, but in fact they are not on the same level at all."

"The only thing that can transcend time is the legendary power of cause and effect, right?"

"It's also possible that I don't know the true horror of space yet?"

To others, only three years have passed, but Roja has aged twenty years.

His lifespan was literally shortened by twenty years.

He rubbed his chin in thought.

"So what should be my age?"

"In terms of the time I actually spent?"

"Or is it the speed of time in the main world?"

Regarding this issue, Roja thought about it casually.

"Calculate it according to the flow rate of the main world."

"You still have to consider other people. After all, most people can't control time."

Watching the Flame Scale Dragon grow a lot after not seeing him for three years.

Roja gently stroked the lovely head of the Flame Scale Dragon.

The body temperature of the Flame Scale Dragon is extremely high, reaching 70 or 80 degrees Celsius.

Ordinary people would be burned just by touching the body of the Flame Scale Dragon.

Moreover, the dragon scales on the Flame Scale Dragon are extremely hard and sharp.

When you stroke along the scales, they feel as smooth as glass.

When turned against the scales, the sharp scales can easily cut off large pieces of flesh and blood from the human body.

"I haven't seen you for three years. Do you already have the strength close to that of a high-level monster?"

"Um?"

"I should have brought you into the Shile Barrier if I had known earlier."

"It was a bit of a miscalculation."

Because it was his first time to use Shile Barrier to assist in refining potions.

Worried about an accident, he did not bring the Flame Scale Dragon inside.

As it turns out, there were no surprises.

"I will definitely take you with me next time."

"It will take five hundred years to become an overlord-level monster. With the Shile Barrier around, maybe it will take just a few decades?"

After playing with the three Flame Scale Dragon cubs for a while, he took out the communication tool Fernanda left with him and told Fernanda the news that he had successfully refined the Ice Dragon Crystal.

Then he came to the garden.

I found a table in the pavilion in the center of the garden and sat down, taking out tea, a kettle, cups...

He had just made tea and hadn't even finished the first cup of tea yet.

"boom--"

A white comet with a shocking cold air had already streaked across the sky, flying towards his direction.

Under the influence of Fernanda, the temperature of the entire royal capital suddenly dropped.

Because he had given instructions to others in advance, the guardians of the imperial capital were not surprised by Fernanda's appearance.

He looked up at Fernanda, who was flying at dozens of times the speed of sound.

"So fast?"

Roja said in surprise.

He knew Fernanda would come quickly, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.

"Where is the Ice Soul Dragon Crystal?"

Fernanda asked anxiously as soon as she landed.

He has been waiting for the Ice Soul Dragon Crystal for too long!

When he received the news from Roya, he was almost crazy with excitement!

He immediately stopped what he was doing, rushed to the Saint Luo Empire at full speed, and came to Roja's side.

Roja didn't care about Fernanda's rudeness.

He took out a bottle of Ice Dragon Crystal from the space ring.

The moment he took out the Ice Soul Dragon Crystal, Fernanda was like a hungry tiger, her eyes suddenly emitting a frightening light.

Fernanda's hand quickly grabbed the Ice Soul Dragon Crystal. The speed of this grab has exceeded fifty times the speed of sound!

However, when he was about to touch the Ice Soul Dragon Crystal, Fernanda's hand speed suddenly slowed down.

He carefully took the Ice Soul Dragon Crystal from Luo Ya's palm.

He stared at the Ice Soul Dragon Crystal with glowing eyes, and used his bloodline talent Eye of Truth to analyze the third-level potion in his hand that was related to the tenth domain foundation he was condensing.

He stared at the Ice Soul Dragon Crystal for a long time.

"That's right! This is the Ice Soul Dragon Crystal I want!"

He grinned.

The smile is so ugly, but so happy.

"One bottle should be enough, right?" Roja asked.

"Well, one bottle is already..." Fernanda suddenly widened her eyes after reacting, "How many bottles of Ice Soul Dragon Crystal have you refined?"

"Three bottles."

"Can you give me one more bottle?"

"no problem."

Holding two bottles of Ice Soul Dragon Crystal in his hand, Fernanda felt that his heart was about to melt.

With just a bottle of Ice Soul Dragon Crystal, he was only 70% sure of condensing the tenth domain base.

Now that he has two bottles of Ice Soul Dragon Crystal, his certainty of condensing the tenth domain base can be increased from 70% to 90%!

Because the only raw material for Ice Soul Dragon Crystal is the remains of ice dragons, it is too difficult to refine.

He was already satisfied that he could successfully refine the Ice Soul Dragon Crystal. Even if the refining failed, he would not blame Roja.

So he didn't put higher demands on Roja.

Just one bottle of Ice Soul Dragon Crystal is enough.

He didn't expect Roja to give him such a big surprise!

"You are indeed my lucky star!"

Fernanda patted Roja on the shoulder and laughed.

Since he met Luo Ya, Luo Ya would give him an unexpected surprise every time he met him.

Every time he cooperates with Roya, he will get unexpected gains.

It was then and it is now.

Maybe it will still be the case in the future?

After looking at the two bottles of Ice Soul Dragon Crystal in his hand over and over again, he reluctantly put the Ice Soul Dragon Crystal into the space ring.

At this time, he couldn't wait to go back and practice with the help of Ice Soul Dragon Crystal.

However, it was really rude to just grab something and leave after meeting a friend after twenty years.

More importantly, after this meeting, I don’t know when the next meeting will be.

For wizards, time is both valuable and very worthless.

Tens and hundreds of years have passed at every turn.

It is normal for people who love each other not to see each other for tens or hundreds of years.

Every time we meet is precious.

After putting the Ice Soul Dragon Crystal away, Fernanda calmed down and found that Roja's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, as if he had something on his mind.

Fernanda, who claims to be Roja's friend and has received great favor from Roja, how can she leave her friend alone when he encounters difficulties?

"Roya, what's bothering you recently? If there's anything I can do to help, just ask!" Fernanda patted her chest and said to Roja.

"Yes, yes..."

Roja told him about the ice dragon curse.

After hearing this, Fernanda's face suddenly darkened.

Obviously, he did not expect that the curse in the ice dragon remains he brought back would still remain after being refined.

Never heard of such a thing?

At Fernanda's request, Roja took out the refined ice dragon casting materials.

Fernanda stared at the ice dragon casting materials for a long time, "Is there really a curse? Can't my eye of truth see the problem?"

Facing Roya's repeated nods of confirmation, Fernanda thought for a while, and his eyes suddenly emitted a dazzling light.

A large amount of magic energy was injected crazily into his pupils, and his eyes turned into two huge light bulbs emitting golden light.

Due to his desperate efforts to activate the Eye of Truth, Fernanda, who originally maintained the form of a three-meter-tall dragon, suddenly became huge.

It actually turned into a thirty-meter-long ice dragon!

Just by using the True Eye, a bloodline talent, Fernanda unexpectedly entered a state of preparation for war!

Suddenly, the pure-blooded dragon aura from Fernanda swept mercilessly towards the surroundings.

The surrounding flowers, plants and trees were washed away by the dragon's breath, and even their vitality was cut off.

The bodies of birds, insects, and small animals suddenly became stiff and lost their lives.

If this aura continues to be allowed to spread, it will cover an area of ​​several kilometers.

By then, the life in the imperial city, let alone plants and small animals, even people with the strength of a knight may not be able to withstand the dragon's breath and die.

Upon seeing this, Roja waved his hand and arranged a simple barrier to isolate him and Fernanda from the outside world.

Fernanda seemed not to be aware of his influence on the outside world, and still just kept activating the Eye of Truth.

People often use "his sight is like substance" to describe the sharpness of a person's eyes.

At this moment, this metaphor becomes reality!

From Fernanda's eyes, two golden lines of sight shot out and landed on the ice dragon's spell-casting materials.

Roya was worried whether the ice dragon's spellcasting materials would be affected by Fernanda's sight.

When Roja was debating whether to call stop or not.

Fernanda slowly closed her eyes.

The aura emanating from him slowly dissipated.

His body shape gradually returned to normal.

"Ha-hu-"

Fernanda took a long, deep breath that lasted several minutes.

After activating the Eye of Reality with all his strength just now, I don't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that his muscles had shrunk a lot.

After sitting and resting with her eyes closed for about half an hour, Fernanda finally opened her eyes.

Those golden eyes that usually made people unrecognizable just looking at them with awe, now looked exhausted.

The golden light condensed deep in his pupils was almost shattered.

Fernanda is in extremely weak condition at this time!

Weaker than fighting a powerful enemy!

"This ice dragon is indeed cursed." Fernanda nodded with a heavy face, "It's so difficult for me, who has the eyes of truth, to detect it. I didn't expect you to be able to discover... The ice dragon crystal is also cursed. ?"

"There is no problem with the Ice Soul Dragon Crystal." Roja replied.

"Well..." Fernanda frowned and thought, "Many people have obtained ice dragon remains from the Ice Dragon Prison Realm in the past. Except for the royal family of the Ice Dragon Empire, I have never heard of anyone being possessed by ice dragon remains. The curse affects…”

"Did those people not notice?"

"Or does the curse not affect the human body?"

There is a high probability that the Ice Dragon Curse has no effect on people.

But who wants to risk their future to try?

That is a terrifying curse that can destroy the entire ice dragon clan overnight!

A fourth-level wizard is infected and cannot get rid of it. He can only struggle in pain under the curse!

A level 4 wizard can't help but curse it, how dare a level 2 wizard touch it?

"How much do you know about the curse of the ice dragon clan?" Roja asked.

Fernanda thought for a while and nodded solemnly.

"I didn't understand the curse of the Ice Dragon Hell Realm before."

"But after going through the adventure in the Ice Dragon Prison Realm, I have a guess."

"The curse of the Ice Dragon Clan should be a blood curse, but this blood curse was not set by someone to kill the Ice Dragon Clan, but was created by the Ice Dragon Clan themselves."

Fernanda's conclusion made Roja a little dumbfounded.

Why did the Ice Dragon Clan curse themselves when they had nothing to do?

Tired of living?

Under Roya's doubtful gaze, Fernanda continued to explain:

"Of course the Ice Dragon clan will not curse themselves for no reason. This blood curse should be a by-product of a certain ritual."

"As for what this ceremony is..."

"I guess it's a ceremony to succeed the gods!"

Level five can be called a god.

The gods at the eighth level are respected as the main gods.

If you want to step into the eighth level, you must condense one thing.

Different races and different cultivation systems have different names like Godhead, Shaman Soul, Dragon Spirit, Yuji, Origin...etc.

Among them, Godhead is the most common title.

The ceremony of inheriting the god is the ceremony of inheriting the godhead.

Once successful, you can become a quasi-eighth-level master god and gain eternal life and supreme power!

According to Fernanda, in a distant era who knows how many years ago, the Ice Dragon clan in the Ice Dragon Hell Realm gathered the strength of the entire clan to hold a ceremony to succeed the gods.

This is a ritual that, once successful, can create a quasi-eighth-level main god.

Once it fails, the entire ice dragon clan will die out.

However, the demise of the Ice Dragon Clan was not due to the backlash caused by the failure of the God Succession Ceremony.

While the Ice Dragon Clan was holding a ceremony to succeed the gods, a strong man secretly interrupted the ceremony and froze the entire Ice Dragon Clan, destroying life on a planet.

Although the succession ceremony was interrupted and the ice dragon clan perished, the side effects of the failure of the succession ceremony did not completely disappear.

Every ice dragon remains in the Ice Dragon Hell Realm has suffered a blood curse.

The ancestor of the Ice Dragon Empire accidentally discovered the passage to the Ice Dragon Prison. At that time, he did not know the curse of the ice dragon, so he used a secret method to fuse the remains of an ice dragon, which greatly increased his strength.

So the body was stained with the blood curse of the ice dragon's remains.

This curse continues to this day, affecting everyone in the Royal Family of the Ice Dragon Empire.

Bloodborne is scary.

Killing a race at every turn.

Some powerful blood curses can even curse racial life in other universes across dimensions.

Meanwhile, Bloodborne is safe.

As long as one does not possess the cursed bloodline, no matter how strong the blood curse is, it is harmless.

Therefore, many wizards have entered the Ice Dragon Prison over the years, and many wizards have obtained the remains of the Ice Dragon, but only the royal family of the Ice Dragon Empire has been cursed.

"Theoretically, it is safe for you to use the cursed ice dragon casting materials to transform..."

Fernanda's face looked very ugly.

If Roja is worried about being caught by the curse, he only needs to not use the ice dragon casting materials.

But what about him?

He wants to use the ice soul crystal refined from the remains of the ice dragon to condense the tenth domain base!

The domain base is something produced by the resonance of blood, magic power, and spirit. If the domain base is contaminated with a curse, it is equivalent to a curse on the blood, magic power, and spirit.

Sensing Fernanda's worry, Roja comforted: "I told you, there is no curse in the Ice Soul Dragon Crystal, you can use it with confidence."

With Roya's comfort, Fernanda looked much better.

Roja was able to detect the blood curse that even the True Eye could not easily detect. He must have a powerful insight far beyond the True Eye.

Such Luo Yadu said that there is no curse on the Ice Soul Dragon Crystal, so the credibility is still very high.

However, no matter how insightful Roja is, he is only a second-level wizard after all.

Faced with a blood curse that can kill even a level 4 ice dragon, are you sure Roja, a level 2 wizard, can completely detect it?

It would be bad if there was a curse in the Ice Soul Dragon Crystal that even Roja couldn't see.

But Fernanda will not give up easily.

He planned to set up a formation with the assistance of his White Wizard teacher to observe the Ice Soul Dragon Crystal carefully after he went back.

After observing it in his own way and confirming that the Ice Dragon Crystal was not cursed, he dared to use the power of the Ice Dragon Crystal to condense the tenth domain base.

Fernanda, who had made plans in her heart, looked at Roja with some embarrassment.

He originally thought that Roja would help him refine the Ice Soul Dragon Crystal, so he gave the ice dragon remains to Roja as a reward. This transaction was an equal exchange, and no one suffered.

Unexpectedly, a Bloodborne Curse actually appeared!

Roja didn't dare to use the cursed ice dragon casting material!

It was equivalent to Roja spending twenty years helping him refine the Ice Soul Dragon Crystal, but he was doing nothing in vain!

And if it weren't for Roja's reminder, if there was a curse in the Ice Soul Dragon Crystal, wouldn't all his efforts have led him into hell?

He owed Roya a lot. (End of chapter)
