Rise of the Dark Witch

Return to the Endless Tower.

Roja stood there with his eyes closed, his eyes not separated for a long time.

At the end of the Endless Tower trial, he felt that the fatigue accumulated over the years suddenly burst out.

Even as a second-level peak expert, his body and mind were affected by this exhaustion from within.

It’s so tiring!

The first few dozen floors of the Endless Tower are relatively easy.

When he encounters a fun world by chance, he can temporarily put down the work at hand to have fun, and then kill the target BOSS when he has had enough fun.

But after the thirtieth floor, he no longer had time to have fun.

Every time he enters a new world of challenges, his attention must be unprecedentedly focused.

If something unexpected happens, the time to complete the challenge will be increased several times out of thin air.

What’s even more tiring is——

What he needs to do is not simply defeat the enemy!

Even the BOSS on the 100th floor of the Endless Tower, the Cursed Human Demon, was not powerful enough to stand up to him at full strength.

If you just defeat the cursed demon, you can accomplish your goal in less than half an hour.

But the real challenge on the 100th floor of the Endless Tower is the curse that purifies the entire planet!

Even for him, purifying a planet's curse is extremely difficult.

Although afterward, due to the sharing of souls with his bloodline talent, almost no consumption of his magic and mental power, mental fatigue was still unavoidable.

But I am a little tired, but everything is worth it.

His cultivation realm has not improved at all compared to before, but his combat experience has been completely transformed because of the Endless Tower.

Facing different enemies and being in different areas, you must use different methods in order to defeat them in the best and fastest way.

This kind of brain-squeezing behavior is very tiring, but it is very rewarding.

Compared to who he is now, he was just a fighting novice in the past.

"The settings for each magic machine trial are carefully thought out."

Roja adjusted his breathing.

Soon, he adjusted his body and mind to the best condition, and he had come out of the fatigue caused by the Endless Tower.

open one's eyes.

He found that he was not in the familiar blank room.

An ancient door appeared in front of him.

After a pause, he pulled the knocker.

"Knock knock..."

Amid a low knock on the door, the heavy wooden door opened with a creaking sound.

Through the crack in the door, you can see the darkness deep inside the door that can swallow everything.

"I'm in."

After Roja said a polite word, he walked into the room, his figure was submerged in the darkness.

"Creak--"

Behind him, the harsh sound of a wooden door closing sounded.

"Boom!"

With the crisp sound of the door closing, the light outside the door was completely cut off, and Roja's vision fell into darkness.

Roja stood there without moving.

He is waiting.

"call--"

Candles lit on the walls.

With the help of the weak candlelight, he finally got a clear view of the room.

His attention was quickly drawn to the murals on the walls.

Murals hang on the walls of this dim room.

Each mural depicts a different scene.

"This is……"

Looking at the things painted on the mural, Roja's eyes suddenly widened.

There are many murals, one hundred in total.

What is painted on each mural is the BOSS challenged by each floor of the Endless Tower!

Those BOSS seemed to be sealed deep in the mural, glaring at Roja who defeated them, as if they wanted to break through the shackles of the mural and rush out to tear Roja into pieces.

Looking at these murals and the monsters in the paintings, Roja felt a little confused.

"Why do the bosses on every floor of the Endless Tower appear here?"

"Could it be that the world in the Endless Tower is not the real world?"

"But the world in the story?"

"Or is it that the world is real, but the BOSS in the Endless Tower was put in by the wizard from the Ten Thousand Demons Cave?"

"After being defeated by me, you recycled it and sealed it in the portrait, waiting for the next recycling?"

Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain that the power system of some worlds is obviously very weak, and there are even worlds where there is no extraordinary power at all, but monsters at the second level of the peak suddenly appear.

Apart from the fact that those monsters were intentionally raised by dark wizards, are there other possibilities?

Transforming many real worlds into trials in the Endless Tower, the dark wizard from the Ten Thousand Demons Cave is exactly... terrifyingly powerful!

In the eyes of powerful wizards, planets with billions of life forms are nothing more than mini-ecosystems like culture media.

While Luo Ya was in a daze, a cold voice came into his ears.

"Wizard Roja, congratulations on passing the 100th floor of the Endless Tower and successfully completing the seventh trial."

"As a reward for completing the seventh trial, you can choose one of the hundred worlds here to become your possession."

At the end of the room, there is an ancient table.

Sitting across the table was a mysterious figure wearing a black robe and a hood whose appearance could not be seen clearly.

The mysterious figure seemed to be only a few meters away from him, but it gave him the feeling of being a world away.

After Roja glanced at that person, his eyes moved away from the mysterious figure and fell back on the mural hanging on the wall.

"Can you choose a world to own?" Roja muttered this sentence in a daze.

The reward for completing the trial on the 100th floor of the Endless Tower is to get a world?

There are corresponding rewards for each completed trial in the Twelve Trials of Magic Machine.

The Endless Tower Trial is the seventh trial, and it is normal to receive rewards for completing the Endless Tower challenge.

When he came to this room, he was extremely looking forward to the content of the reward.

Rewards about the Endless Tower...

He has a partner in the Magic Machine Academy - Etta Christ.

As a wizard who has already completed the Endless Tower trial, Aita is very clear about the rewards he can get after passing the Endless Tower.

He had asked Aita about the rewards of the Endless Tower Challenge.

Facing his question, Aita answered with an enigmatic look - "You will know when the time comes, and you will be very surprised."

He didn't really care about Aita's betrayal.

Anyway, there was no risk to him in clearing the Endless Tower. It felt good to have a surprise waiting for him.

And then, when it comes time to know what the reward actually is.

As Etta said, he was really surprised.

This is a world to gain!

It is actually not accurate to say that it is a world. To be more precise, it is to get a living planet.

"Completing the Endless Tower challenge will directly reward you with a life planet? The dark wizard from the Ten Thousand Demons Cave is really arrogant!"

“Giving living planets as rewards to students, where does this come from science fiction?”

He had seen similar stories in science fiction novels before.

In some cosmic civilizations with extremely advanced technology, a planet will be regarded as a coming-of-age gift for children.

"I never expected that a story that should only exist in science fiction novels would actually happen to me."

"It's incredible."

After feeling deeply.

He began to think.

"Which world should I choose?"

His eyes passed over the murals on the walls.

Each mural represents a world.

Over the years, he has completed a hundred challenges in the Endless Tower and visited a hundred different worlds.

Some worlds are boring, just ordinary worlds without even extraordinary powers.

Some worlds are worth digging into, and the people and objects in them can take him dozens or hundreds of years to study.

Some worlds are accompanied by a large amount of resources. Even a third-level wizard would drool when he saw the amount of resources.

In his mind, relevant information from one world after another emerged.

"Choose the tenth level of the super world?"

"The superpowers inside are quite interesting."

When Roja went to the tenth floor of the Endless Tower, that world happened to be during the magic tide.

The magic tide is coming, and the concentration of magic in the entire world has reached an unprecedented high. Under the influence of magic, animals, plants, and humans have undergone earth-shaking changes in their physiques and awakened various powers.

Some awakened people with great talents have gone from being ordinary people to S-class powerhouses that are comparable to first-level wizards in just a few years.

It is difficult for the most talented people in the wizarding world to go from ordinary people to first-level wizards in a few years.

That world did.

The speed of getting stronger is terrifying!

And there are many superpowers that even Roya, who is well-informed in the wizarding world, finds incredible!

At that time, he wanted to stay in the super world for a while and study the physique of the people in that world.

If we could thoroughly study the magic properties and human physique of that world, the rewards would be great, right?

"It seems good to choose the magical world on the fiftieth floor."

Although the use of magic by people in that world was much rougher than that of witchcraft, it was definitely a new path that Roja had never seen before, a brand new way of using magic.

If he could delve deeper into the "magic" of that world, it might be able to greatly increase his strength.

Like a treasure trove of treasures, Roja recalled the relevant information about the world he had visited over the years.

"A hundred worlds, which one should I choose?" Roja frowned in distress.

The world he wants is too much!

It’s really hard to choose!

If there were ten, he could make the decision easily.

If there were five, he would be able to make a decision quickly after struggling for a while.

But there is only one.

No matter which world he gives up, he will be very heartbroken.

Thinking about it, he closed his eyes and relaxed his mind and body.

Deep in his heart, he was questioning his own heart - "What do you want?" "What is your reason for choosing the world?" "What benefits can this world bring you?"

What he needs is strength!

He wants something that can make him stronger!

Among the one hundred worlds in the Endless Tower, which one would increase his strength the most?

he thought.

After denying one world after another.

After comprehensively comparing the remaining worlds.

He made a decision.

"I choose the thunder source world on the 90th floor."

As soon as Roja finished speaking, a mural immediately fell from the wall into his hands.

He looked down at the mural in his hand. What was painted on the mural was the BOSS thunder beast on the 90th floor.

The world of Leiyuan is a world full of thunder elements.

In that world for thousands of years, under the influence of thunder elements, many items related to thunder elements were formed.

For example, thunder element ores and the like.

The reason why he chose the Leiyuan World was precisely because he took a fancy to the thunder resources in the Leiyuan World.

The reason why he valued those resources was to use them to refine the magic weapon.

A thunder magic weapon similar to the Red Cannon!

His knowledge of magic patterns was not inferior to that of pharmacy. He was very clear about the refining principles and methods of red artillery.

As long as he is given the materials and time, he can completely refine a magical weapon with the same level as the Red Fire Cannon - the Thunder Spirit Cannon!

He has a deep understanding of the power of the Red Fire Cannon. It is a magical weapon with magical patterns that can greatly enhance the strength of a fourth-level wizard.

If in addition to the Red Fire Cannon, there is also a Thunder Spirit Cannon, then he will be able to greatly make up for his lack of attack power, and his strength will be able to reach a higher level!

However, there is no need to rush the refining of the magic weapon Thunder Spirit Cannon. It will not be too late to start refining it after he becomes a third-level wizard.

He looked down at the mural in his hands.

He lightly touched the mural with his hand, and the mural immediately became blurry, and a vortex leading to another world appeared in the painting.

"As long as we get into this whirlpool, can we reach the world of Thunder Source?"

"Is the world I went to the world in the mural?"

"Or is it a world in the real universe?"

He suppressed the doubts in his heart and put the mural leading to the world of Leiyuan into the space ring.

He bowed goodbye to the figure in the back of the room and turned to leave.

Push open the door.

Walk out of the room.

call!

Roja only felt the scene in front of him flicker, and he had returned to the hall of the Endless Tower.

Looking at the familiar silhouettes walking in the hall of the Endless Tower, and looking at the students from Magic Academy who came to challenge again and again to clear the Endless Tower, he couldn't help but feel a hint of pride in his heart.

Every student who can enter the Magic Machine Academy is a genius among geniuses.

However, many geniuses could not clear the Endless Tower for decades or hundreds of years, but he successfully cleared it in a few years.

"Although I can't compare with Fernanda, Zochi, Sejie... and other super geniuses."

"But compared to many people, I am definitely the genius they can only look up to!"

"You can count on one hand the number of second-level wizards who are as powerful as me in Magic Machine Academy now, right?"

Roja looked around at the Endless Tower that had been waiting for him for several years, and then left without any regrets.

He still has a lot to do.

The Endless Tower is just the seventh trial.

Next, he will conduct the eighth trial of the four-color arena and the ninth trial of void guarding.

Only by passing nine trials can one graduate from the Magic Machine Academy and become a reserve student for the Master of the Magic Machine Domain.

…

Inside the wizard's tower.

Roya and Aita met again after several years.

Aita's petite body squatted on the chair, looking at Roja with wary eyes.

Even though they had known each other for many years, Aita still didn't trust him.

Looking at Aita, whose appearance had not changed at all from the last time they met, Roja felt that Aita's strength was a bit stronger than before.

He could feel that Aita had reached the peak of the second level and could hit the third level at any time.

The reason why you didn't become a third-level wizard early was probably because you wanted to complete the Magic Machine Trial, right?

"I knew you were strong enough to clear the Endless Tower, but I didn't expect it to be so fast... I still underestimated you." Aita looked at Roja and said with emotion.

"What if I don't hurry up? I still want to complete the twelve magic machine trials before I am five hundred years old and become the student of the master of the magic machine domain." Roja replied.

"Do you want to become a student of the Lord of the Demonic Machine Domain?"

"What? Don't you want to?"

"……Too dangerous."

Aita's words made Roja speechless.

Which wizard studying at Magic Machine Academy doesn’t want to become a student of the Master of Magic Machine Domain?

In the end, Aita just gave up because the magic machine trial was too dangerous?

But this answer fits Aita's character and style very well.

Aita is a person who puts her own life at the highest priority. She will never do anything that will threaten her own life.

Although this kind of character and style caused her to lose many opportunities, wasn't the reason why she was able to survive successfully to this day also thanks to this kind of character and style?

There are too many fallen geniuses in the wizarding world.

Even Roja himself, who thought he was cowardly enough to survive, encountered many dangers to his life along the way.

"You don't want to become a student of Magic Machine Academy, but I think you really want to complete the ninth trial and graduate from Magic Machine Academy." Roja said curiously.

Aita felt that the Ninth Trial of Void Guard was too dangerous and she was only 90% sure of passing. She was afraid of the one-tenth chance of failure, so she never dared to participate in the Ninth Trial.

Just because she doesn't participate doesn't mean she doesn't want to participate.

She really wanted to pass the ninth trial, and she really wanted to graduate from the Magic Machine Academy and go to the trial city on the eighth floor of the Ten Thousand Demon Cave.

Since she doesn't want to be a student of Magic Machine Academy, why is she so persistent?

Aita's reply to Roja was - "Because the trial city on the eighth floor of Ten Thousand Devils Cave has more resources, I can become stronger!"

Roja understood immediately.

Aita is timid, but that doesn't mean she doesn't crave power.

Her desire for power is no weaker than anyone else!

She can endure boring training in order to become stronger.

She can shamelessly ask anyone for advice in order to become stronger.

"Are you cowardly and unwilling to take any risks, but at the same time extremely thirsty for power?"

"He is really a guy full of contradictions!"

"You can't get real power like this! You can't become a real strong man!"

Facing Roja's persuasion, Aita just turned her head away with an expression that said, "I'm tired of hearing these words."

The Crist family has said similar words to Aita countless times. Judging from Aita's unchanged style, it has no effect at all.

Even his closest family members couldn't convince Aita, let alone a partner?

"The four-color arena will open in half a year. After I finish the four-color arena, I can join you in the Ninth Path Magic Machine Trial Void Guard."

"Do you have the confidence to win in the four-color arena?"

"There is still no problem with the top 100."

"Not trying to get into the top ten?"

"Count me in, I'm self-aware."

The four-color arena is an arena competition jointly organized by wizards of the four colors of black, white, green, and red in the wizarding world. At that time, the younger generation of second-level experts in the wizarding world will gather together to compete.

Roja thought he was very strong, and there were only a handful of wizards who could rival him in Magic Machine Academy.

But looking at all the second-level wizards in the entire wizarding world, there are simply too many who are stronger than him.

Being able to have the confidence to enter the top 100 is enough to make people proud.

Although there is only half a year left before the four-color arena, Roja still uses this time to become stronger every second.

In the six months before the opening of the four-color arena, Roja and Aita had been staying together to communicate and learn. (End of chapter)
