Rise of the Dark Witch

Roya is already very satisfied with this result.

He really wants to enter the top ten and get special rewards.

But his strength is like this, what can be done?

In the four-color arena for a year, he has fought with all his strength and brought all his strengths to the extreme.

Ranking seventeenth means that in this four-color arena, his strength is at the seventeenth level.

If you have to say there is anything that can be improved——

"It feels a bit of a pity to draw those two games."

"If I had known it would be a draw, it would be better to admit defeat early."

If the battle continues for a month without a winner, it will be judged as a draw.

He had two draws, which meant he wasted two months.

If you admit defeat, you may lose two more games, but you will most likely win seven or eight more games.

Because the victory of a winning game can be determined in just a few minutes, usually within a few hours to a few days, and there are very few battles that last more than ten days.

If he could realize in time that it would be a draw and admit defeat in advance, he could gain a lot of points, and his ranking might be able to enter the top ten.

But this kind of thing is difficult to talk about.

Battles are always full of ever-changing information. One second you may lose, and the next second your opponent may reveal a flaw and win.

Among his fifty-eight wins, many of them were played for more than half a month, and he found opportunities to win when he thought they would end in a draw.

Without looking at God’s perspective, I thought it was a draw and gave in early——

Then the number of times he admits defeat may exceed ten games!

Many games that were able to be reversed later turned into failure because of early surrender!

He might not even have seventeen?

"If I dare to use the Certificate of Two Souls, I will definitely be able to enter the top ten. It is possible to strive for the top three."

"Originally I thought that with the Jenga of Time, the Wood Soul Armorer, and all kinds of powerful methods, even if I couldn't use the Dual Soul Certificate, the Dark Evil Spider King, third-level casting materials... and other things, I could still attack the front. Top ten."

"...There are really many geniuses in the wizarding world."

During this year in the four-color arena, he had experienced all the various methods of black, white, green, and red wizards, which greatly increased his knowledge.

Return to a familiar room.

The room where he had always been alone now had an exquisite and beautiful doll.

The beautiful doll, which looks not much different from the real person, is holding a delicate tray with light green crystal stones placed on it.

Looking at these crystal stones, Roja's breathing suddenly became rapid.

This is the divine crystal!

The Divine Crystal is also called the Essence of God and the Demonic Crystal. It is an extremely precious crystal that contains the power of the Demonic God.

One million top-grade magic crystals can be exchanged for one non-attributed divine crystal.

What is more precious than the attributeless crystal is the attribute crystal.

The top 100 in the four-color arena will be rewarded with 100 non-attribute divine crystals.

The top thirty will be rewarded with ten attribute crystals.

In addition to the ten attribute crystals, the top ten will also receive additional special rewards.

Roja ranks seventeenth and can get ten attribute crystals.

The attributes of the divine crystal can be freely selected.

As a plant wizard, he naturally wanted the wood divine crystal.

He took the tray with ten wooden divine crystals from the puppet's hands and watched the wooden divine crystals on the tray sparkle. "The materials for the third-level promotion ceremony have been obtained."

The value and effect of each non-attributed divine crystal are comparable to the top level three potions. The value and effect of attribute divine crystals are comparable to those of fourth-level potions.

These attribute divine crystals can be used as medicinal materials for refining high-grade fourth-level potions, and can also be used as materials for the third-level promotion ceremony for a second-level wizard to be promoted to a third-level wizard.

And it’s the most top-notch material!

"I was thinking about how to get promotion materials before, but now I don't have to worry about it."

"With these ten wood-type divine crystals, I can immediately carry out the promotion ceremony. The success rate of becoming a third-level wizard can exceed 90%."

He stared at the ten wood-type divine crystals in his hand for a long time.

Put the ten wooden divine crystals into the space ring and leave the four-color arena secret room where you have stayed for a year.

…

Inside the wizard's tower.

Aita's small body kept spinning around Roja, her golden vertical pupils full of curiosity.

In the past, every time she faced Roja, she would sit far away, wishing she was a world away from him, with a wary look on her face.

Now her inner excitement actually overwhelms her vigilance.

"Ranked seventeen? It's quite impressive."

When Aita participated in the four-color arena, she was only 91st.

There is a huge difference between the number ninety-one and the number seventeen.

Ten ninety-ones are not necessarily a match for one seventeenth.

But the strength of Aita at that time and Aita now was different.

Although Aita's current strength is weaker than Roja's, if he participates in the four-color arena again, the probability of entering the top thirty is still very high.

"Hey, it's finally time for the ninth trial!"

Aita held her two little hands tightly, her eyes shining with excitement.

She had completed the first eight trials decades ago, and was only missing the final ninth trial before she could graduate from the Magic Machine Academy.

Just because she was not 100% sure about the ninth trial, she was timid and fearful and had been putting off participating.

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

Her desire for power is no worse than anyone else!

Her chances of passing the ninth trial alone are more than 90%, and with the powerful Roja, she is close to 100% sure.

Even if it fails in the end, with Roja as a powerful partner, he will definitely not die.

"Tell me about the ninth trial." Roja hugged Aita, who had been circling around him, and asked while stroking Aita's silky hair.

Being caught by Roja and still held in his arms, Aita's body seemed to be resisting.

She struggled slightly, but seeing that Roja had no intention of letting go, she squinted her eyes and thought about it, then gave up the struggle.

Anyway, this is inside the Magic Machine Academy, and Roja can't hurt her even if he wants to.

The reason why she had always been wary of Roja and tried to distance herself from Roja even though she knew there was no danger, was just because she was worried that she would be deceived by Roja's sweet words.

She doesn't think she's a particularly smart person.

She knows that there are many people in this world who can easily deceive her.

The best way not to be deceived is to educate yourself on various scams, and the most important thing is to be wary of anyone!

In this world, she would never trust a person 100%!

Even for her biological sister, her beloved parents, and her dear family members, she was always on guard in her heart.

However, there are different alert levels according to different objects.

The level of family members of parents, siblings is relatively low.

The alert level of acquaintances like Roja who had helped her was considered medium.

The realm level of other strangers is high.

As for those enemies who showed obvious malice toward her, their realm level was at the top.

There are exceptions above the top——

That is the strong man who wants to kill her and crush her!

For such a strong person, she would never step into the opponent's attack range no matter what.

Even if the environment you are in is theoretically absolutely safe, it is absolutely impossible for the other party to take action, and it is useless.

She resisted being held in the arms of Roja, a person with medium alertness, and petted by Roja like a cute kitten.

But she thought it was safe here, and she didn't have to worry about Roya suddenly attacking her.

Luo Ya just closed his mouth and listened to her words obediently. There was no need to be afraid of being deceived by Luo Ya's sweet words.

Since there is no danger, it is okay to let Roja start as he pleases occasionally.

However, as long as Roya made any move that might contain hostility towards her and kept talking about words that wanted to get closer to her, she would immediately leave Roya's arms.

After she adjusted her body slightly to make herself more comfortable in Roja's arms, she began to talk about the information she knew about the Ninth Trial Void Guard.

"You can sign up for the ninth trial of Void Guard once a year."

"Depending on the number of participants, the difficulty will be adjusted accordingly. Generally speaking, the best number is between three and seven people."

"With less than three people, it will be extremely difficult."

"If there are more than seven people, the difficulty will also increase."

"After signing up, we will have to resist the attacks of the Void Zerg in the Void Fortress for the next ten years."

"Ten years later, if the Void Guards Mansion is not defeated by the Void Zerg, even if you complete the ninth trial, you will be able to graduate from the Magic Machine Academy."

Roja listened silently to Aita's story about the Ninth Trial Void Guard House.

He knew a lot of what Aita said, but as long as there was something he didn't know, it was valuable.

You must know that the opponents of the Void Guards, the Void Zerg, are quite dangerous. They can be called the public enemy of all life. If he is not careful, he may die in the hands of the Void Zerg.

After Aita told Roja everything she knew about the Ninth Trial.

She turned her head and looked directly into Roja's eyes with a pair of golden vertical pupils.

"You should remember our cooperation, right?"

"Your mission is to ensure that I can pass the ninth trial, which means that when necessary..."

"Even if you risk your own failure, you must give priority to helping me."

"Of course, our Christ family will not treat you badly afterwards."

"We will give you the corpses of three domain lord-level monsters, and also allow you to go with me to the resource world that has been passed down by our family for generations."

Facing Aita's words, Roja hesitated for a moment and then nodded.

The ninth trial lasts for ten years. If you fail, ten years will be wasted.

For some wizards, ten years is a short time. They just learn a witchcraft and do an experiment, and dozens or hundreds of years have passed.

But for Roja, ten years is a long time, and it is enough time for him to do too many things.

Is it worth wasting ten years in the Ninth Trial just to help Aita?

Of course not worth it!

However, he still nodded and signed a contract with the Crist family.

Because if he and Aita cooperate, with their strength, the probability of both of them passing the ninth trial is infinitely close to 100%.

Even if it fails, there will definitely be no life-threatening danger.

If you are still timid and afraid and unwilling to cooperate when you have such a huge advantage, and miss out on the benefits from the Crist family, then you have something wrong with your brain.

Of course, if he really encounters an extreme situation and only one of him and Aita can pass the ninth trial, he will definitely fulfill the contract and give priority to helping Aita.

This is called being willing to admit defeat.

The main reason is that the cost of breaking the contract is greater than wasting ten years!

…

The last trial in the Magic Machine Academy, the ninth trial of Void Guard, has begun.

Whoosh!

Roja instantly appeared in the dark void of the universe.

Before he had time to observe his companions who were guarding the void this time, his attention was immediately attracted by the scene in front of him.

It is a huge hole thousands of kilometers in diameter located in the void of the universe!

This huge hole seems to be connected to another universe. In that universe, countless ferocious and terrifying insects are frantically attacking the barrier blocking the hole, trying to break through the barrier and enter this world.

And this barrier is already in jeopardy.

"Is that the Void Zerg?"

"As expected of the so-called natural enemy of all life."

"Just looking at it makes me tremble to the core."

The Void Zerg have the ability to devour everything.

Not only can it swallow life, but it can also swallow stones, fire, air... and other substances.

Moreover, as long as the Void Zerg devours matter, they can continue to grow stronger and reproduce.

As long as they are given enough material, one can easily become hundreds of millions.

As long as they have enough material, they don't need to practice at all, and their strength can soar crazily in a short time, as if they have no bottleneck in becoming stronger.

As long as a void zerg enters a universe and leaves them alone, the entire universe will be devoured by them sooner or later.

"What exactly is this life form like the Void Zerg?"

"It doesn't matter if the number is large, why is there no bottleneck in becoming stronger?"

"I heard that as long as you have enough material, you can even mass-produce insects that can compete with seventh-level wizards?"

After staring at the Void Zerg in the hollow for a while, his eyes fell on the Void Guard House.

Around the hollow, there are six satellites that rotate around the hollow like the moon. These six satellites are the Void Guards.

In the void of the universe, there is no magic power.

As second-level wizards, if there is no external magic for them to absorb, the magic will be used less, and when the magic is exhausted, they will become no different from ordinary people.

Being in a demon-free environment and facing terrifying enemies, Roja felt very uncomfortable.

"Hurry up and enter the Void Guard Palace."

"I heard that there is a magic source in the Void Guard Mansion that can restore magic power."

"Well, once a wizard is in a magic-free environment... I really want to become a level five wizard as soon as possible. As long as he opens up his own mind world, he won't have to worry about magic anymore."

After carefully observing the six Void Guard Houses.

His eyes fell on his partner beside him.

This time, six people participated in the Void Guard.

These six people were obviously divided into three groups.

He and Aita were in a group of two, and the other three were in a group. The last one had no teammates and was just alone.

The Ninth Trial Void Guard is a cooperative mission, so when facing other wizards, everyone has vigilance, curiosity, and... kindness in their eyes.

"Hello, my name is Roja. I am a plant wizard. This is my friend Aita. She is a dragon wizard." Roja briefly introduced himself and the trembling figure hiding behind him. Aita.

"My name is Rizan, and these are my brother Yuliu and sister Mara. The three of us are dark wizards." The three Rizan brothers introduced themselves.

"My name is Nan En." The last person said casually.

Nan En is a dreamy boy who looks like he is only fourteen or fifteen years old. He has silver-white hair and looks like a dreamy boy from a fairy tale.

He was holding a flesh-and-blood sword that was longer than his height. Roja and others beside him could feel the beating heartbeat of the flesh-and-blood sword in his arms, as if it was alive.

This Nan En looks harmless, but he may be the strongest among the six of them!

As for the three brothers Riza, Yuriu, and Mara, Roja felt the aura of the devil from them. Did the red wizard sign a contract with the devil?

Dark wizards are a group of guys who will do anything for power. Among the dark wizards, there are many people who have signed contracts with the devil, such as the three Rizan brothers and sisters in front of them, and Roja himself.

However, the contract signed by the black wizard is slightly different from the contract signed by the red wizard.

When dark wizards sign a contract, they usually sign an equal contract as much as possible.

Or when signing a contract, make a clause that can terminate the contract later, leaving a way out for yourself.

The Contracted Demon God is just a tool for the black wizard to become stronger, unlike the Red Wizard who directly treats the Contracted Demon God as his master.

"Nan En's personal strength should be the strongest among the six of us."

"As for the three Rizan brothers, as long as they successfully summon the Demon God to distract them, they can play an extremely crucial role."

"I have the Jenga of Time, which can be called a miraculous aid."

"Aita's words..."

"He is the most mediocre among the six of us."

"But she is a space wizard. She can move at a speed of more than a thousand times the speed of sound. With my Jenga of Time, the speed can reach more than ten thousand times the speed of sound. Maybe she will become our ace at ten thousand times the speed of sound?"

After the six people briefly introduced each other, they went to their respective Void Guard Houses.

As partners, the six of them should have communicated more, revealed each other's capabilities, and formulated various combat plans.

It's just that wizards are a selfish group of people.

It is really difficult for them to trust each other when they meet for the first time and tell strangers who have only known each other for a few minutes about their abilities and witchcraft.

But they will stay in the Void Guard Mansion for another ten years.

In the early stage, they will fight independently, but ten years later they need to work together to face the big Void Zerg that emerges from the hole.

The time ahead was enough for them to observe each other and understand each other's strength.

Not long after, the three Lizan brothers and Nan En all left, leaving only Roja and Aita standing in the void.

Aita hid behind Roja, watching the densely packed Void Zerg trembling in the hollow.

Even Roja couldn't help but feel frightened when he saw the seemingly endless number of Void Zerg, let alone Aita, who was timid and fearful by nature.

Aita hugged Roja's waist tightly and said with a trembling tone: "If I encounter danger, you must come to protect me even if you risk failure in this void guarding trial."

"Okay, okay." Roja stroked Aita's head to comfort her, and summoned the three-headed Wood Soul Armorer, "These three-headed Wooden Soul Armorer will be lent to you. With them here, you can Hunt the Void Zerg with more peace of mind."

In the Void Guard Trial, as long as the Void Guard House is destroyed by insects, the mission will be considered a failure.

But after the mission fails, you cannot leave immediately. You need to stay for ten years and kill the last big guy before you can leave with the others.

During this period, the person who failed the trial can go to other people's Void Guards and work with that person to resist the Void Zerg.

Theoretically, their six contestants can guarantee five to one.

The other five people gave up their own Void Guard House and gathered together, just to let the only one person pass the Void Guard Trial.

But who wants to do this?

And it’s too risky!

In this void, only the source of magic power in the Void Guard House can allow them to restore their magic power.

If five of the Void Guards were to be abandoned directly, leaving only the last one...

What if this last void garrison was captured by the Zerg for some reason?

Without the source of magic power to restore magic power, wouldn't they all die in this void?

The trial of the Void Guard Mansion is not like the Endless Tower and the Four-Color Arena where you can surrender at any time. The trial of the Void Guard is life-threatening! It can really kill people! (End of chapter)
