Rise of the Dark Witch

The seemingly harmless black witch girl in front of me is actually a sixth-level wizard?

When the strongest wizard in the wizarding world is only at level seven, the level six realm is the next strongest existence!

Leo and Bellica are members of the Meade family. The Meade family is a well-known large chamber of commerce in the dark wizard world that specializes in selling planets. The entire family only has one sixth-level wizard in charge.

As a result, within a few minutes of arriving at Black Abyss Witch City, I met a man whose strength was comparable to that of their ancestor from the Meade Chamber of Commerce... Maybe the other person was even stronger than their ancestor?

They know that Black Abyss Witch City is the territory of the first Black Abyss Territory Lord of Ten Thousand Demons Cave, where there are as many strong men as clouds, the third and fourth levels are not as good as dogs, and the fifth and sixth levels are everywhere, but is it too exaggerated?

Facing Roja with a solemn expression, and Leo and Bellica who were so shocked that they almost lost consciousness, the black witch girl laughed.

"Don't be so nervous. I am just a clone now. And you don't have to worry about being hurt by anyone in Black Abyss Witch City. You must know that Black Abyss Witch City is the territory of the Black Abyss Territory Lord, and ordinary seventh-level wizards are here. Even if you use force, you may die, let alone a little sixth-level wizard like me."

"I only came to find you because you are new faces. It is normal for new faces in Black Abyss Witch City to attract attention every few hundred years."

"If you really don't like me, I can leave." The black witch girl glanced into the distance and said pointedly: "But I am not the only one who is eyeing you."

How many people are eager to have the opportunity to meet a sixth-level wizard.

Is it really okay to just be related to a sixth-level wizard based on their current situation?

Leo and Bellica's eyes fell on Roja. The other party was obviously coming for Roja. The captain of their team was Roja, and the decision of what to do rested with Roja.

After Roja pondered for a while, he asked, "What do you want from us?"

The black witch girl smiled and said, "I'm just serving as a tour guide for you newcomers."

"Then I'm sorry to trouble you."

"Hey, you're welcome. My name is Li Ti, what's yours?"

"My name is Roya."

"Is there any place you want to go? If there is no place you want to go in particular, can I introduce it? Black Abyss Witch City is quite large. After so many years of development, it has many interesting places."

"I'd like to go fishing."

"Have you just arrived and are you going to fish in the River Styx? You are a really impatient man. Come with me."

The clone of a sixth-level wizard named Li Ti jumped ahead like a naughty girl. While leading the way for the three of Roja, she introduced Black Abyss Witch City to them.

"Black Abyss Witch City is a city built by the Black Abyss Territory Lord of our Ten Thousand Demon Cave on the edge of the Styx River. It is one of the only three Styx cities in the wizarding world."

"It's not that easy to enter Black Abyss Witch City."

"There are generally three types of people who can reach the Black Abyss Witch City. One is the students of the nine domain lords of the Ten Thousand Demons Cave, the other is the genius who is favored by the major black wizard forces, and the other is through the process of communicating with our top black wizards. Trade wizards or races from other systems to obtain quotas."

"I wonder which one you are?"

Liti tilted her neck and stared at Roja with a smile, her tone as casual as if she was asking "Have you eaten?"

"It should be considered the second type."

"Really? I think you are quite strong. I thought you were a genius trained by some domain master."

"how about you?"

"Me? Hey, don't look at me like this. In fact, I'm quite powerful. I'm..." Liti blinked her bright big eyes, "The student of the Lord of the Black Abyss."

"Really? It's really awesome."

"Right, right, I'm pretty good."

"Ha ha."

"Hahaha."

Looking at Roja and Liti who were chatting in seemingly ordinary tones, Leo and Bellica were trembling beside them.

They couldn't understand why Roja could get along so easily with Li Ti, a sixth-level wizard, and they couldn't understand why Ro Ya just said "haha" after hearing that Li Ti was a student of the Lord of the Black Abyss.

So weird!

Could it be that everything that happened after they came to Black Abyss Witch City was an illusion?

Luo Ya and Li Ti ignored the two people who were thinking wildly.

Luo Ya and Li Ti continued to chat, and Li Ti continued to introduce Black Abyss Witch City to Ro Ya.

"You should have discovered it after arriving at Black Abyss Witch City, right?"

"Since Black Abyss Witch City is a city built on the edge of the River Styx, a forbidden area of ​​life, the living beings here cannot recover a little bit of magic and spiritual power through conventional methods. Even drinking recovery potions is of no use."

"That is to say, in Black Abyss Witch City, every time your magic and spiritual power are lost, you will continue to lose one point. If you want to restore your magic and spiritual power, you can only go to the Life Spring Tower."

"At the Vitality Spring Tower..."

"Every time you restore 10 million units of magic power, you need to consume one non-attributed divine crystal."

"Every time you restore ten million units of spiritual power, you need to consume one hundred non-attributed divine crystals."

After listening to Liti's words, Roja, Leo and Bellica couldn't help but cursed in their hearts - "Why don't you go grab the money!"

Ten attributeless divine crystals can buy a first-class magic-free resource planet.

One hundred non-attributed divine crystals, the price of a cheaper second-class non-magic resource planet.

Roja has 400 billion units of magic power. Wouldn't it cost 40,000 attributeless divine crystals to restore all of it?

As a poor man, where did Roja get the divine crystal?

Leo came from the Meade Chamber of Commerce and was quite wealthy. If he could get in touch with his family, he would have no problem getting hundreds of thousands of attributeless crystals, but the number of attributeless crystals he carried was only over 10,000.

After Liti glanced at the three Rojas whose expressions changed slightly, she continued:

"If you just stay in Black Abyss Witch City, even if you can't recover your magic and spiritual power, you can still stay for a long time with the strength of a third-level wizard. If you save some time, there will be no problem until the end of your life."

"But if you go to the River Styx to fish for soul fish..." Rita shook her head, "After reaching the River Styx, the vitality of all life will naturally disappear."

"The deeper you go into the River Styx, the faster it drains."

"And the deeper you go into the River Styx, the greater the chance of catching a soul fish."

"So every wizard who goes fishing in the River Styx will go as deep into the River Styx as possible. On the outskirts of the River Styx, which loses 10 million units of magic and spiritual power every day, the probability of catching a soul fish every day is..."

Rita raised a finger, "Only one in 10,000, and it is the lowest level ten-year soul fish."

After listening to Li Ti's last few words, the faces of Roja and the other three were completely unbearable, especially the faces of Leo and Bellica could not be darker.

In other words, with 10 million units of magic and mental power, there is a one in 10,000 chance of catching a ten-year-old soul fish?

One hundred billion units of magic and spiritual power can be exchanged for a ten-year soul fish?

One hundred billion units of magic power are worth 10,000 attributeless crystals in the Vitality Spring Tower.

One hundred billion units of spiritual power are worth one million attributeless divine crystals in the Vitality Spring Tower.

It takes 1.01 million attribute divine crystals and 10,000 days, which is twenty-seven years, to get a ten-year soul fish?

The soul fish is very precious. In ten years, the soul fish can increase the life span by ten years... but the price is 1.01 million attributeless crystals and 27 years of time!

"Hey, do you think it's incredible?"

"Why else would the Lord of the Black Abyss specifically build the Black Abyss Witch City by the River Styx? Otherwise, why is the soul fish so expensive and can it become the common currency of the wizarding world?"

"There are many things that can be used as currency in the wizarding world, from low to high, from magic stones, magic crystals, divine crystals, source crystals...all the way up. However, truly precious things cannot be bought with things like magic crystals and divine crystals. Arrived."

"The soul fish is different."

"Soul fish can really buy almost anything. As long as you have enough soul fish, you can get a seventh-level wizard to help!"

"It's just not that easy to get the soul fish."

At this time, Li Ti's footsteps stopped.

They came to a towering black wizard tower. The four characters "Soul Port" were written on the plaque hanging at the door of the black wizard tower.

They could see people coming in and out of the gate called the Soul Port from time to time.

People who go in are full of expectations.

The people who come out, whether they are happy or disappointed, have their magic and spiritual power at their lowest level.

"This is the Soul Port, the place where we set out to fish in the Styx River."

"Black Abyss Witch City will provide you with boats and fishing rods. The price is half of the fishing harvest. Of course, as long as there is no harvest, there is no need to pay the price."

After saying that, Liti waved goodbye to Roja and said, "If you need my help, just shout my name loudly on the street. Bye."

Liti left.

Roya, Leo and Bellica were left standing in front of the soul port gate.

"She just left like this?" Leo asked doubtfully.

"Her purpose is really just to lead the way for us and act as a tour guide?" Bellica looked puzzled.

"...Do you think we will take the initiative to find her?" Roja asked.

"Well, this..."

"I think, it's possible, there's a high probability...it will be, right?"

For people like Li Ti, who have mysterious origins, strong strength, and don't know the purpose of approaching them, they don't want to contact them until their strength is gone.

But there are some things you just don’t want to do.

You have to think about it even if you don’t want to!

It took 1.01 million non-attributed divine crystals and twenty-seven years to catch a ten-year soul fish of the lowest level.

To use the teleportation array to leave here, at least ten soul fish are needed. Considering that half of the soul fish caught must be handed over, they each need to catch twenty soul fish.

Twenty items!

It only takes more than five hundred years!

The amount of attributeless divine crystals required far exceeds their assets!

Unless they are so lucky that they can easily catch a large number of soul fish, they will definitely need Li Ti's help. At least, Li Ti can lend them some divine crystals to use in the Vitality Spring Tower to restore their magic and spiritual power. .

"Hey, the trial on the fiftieth floor?" Leo lowered his head and sighed.

"When can we leave? Or can we leave alive?" Bellica glanced at Roja secretly.

"...let's go."

Roja stepped directly into the soul port.

The Soul Port is said to be a port, but it is actually an extremely huge wizard tower. In this wizard tower with an unknown number of tens of thousands of floors...

The three of them came to a counter and said to the teller opposite the counter who was wearing a black robe, looked down on his appearance, could not sense his breath, and had no idea whether he was alive or not: "We want to rent a boat and fishing rod to go to the Styx. Fishing.”

The teller didn't speak, but stretched his hand slightly towards them.

Snapped!

Three tokens fell on the table in front of them.

Each token has a number written on it.

Roja picked up his token, "1001? Does it mean the port located on the 1001st floor of this wizard tower?"

Leo and Bellica also picked up their tokens respectively, one was 3773 and the other was 6543.

After the three of them looked at each other, they took their respective tokens and came to the spiral staircase leading to the depths of the underground.

The three of them walked down the spiral staircase in silence.

Occasionally you would meet other wizards on the road, but everyone just glanced at each other and continued to do their own thing.

Not long after.

Roja arrived at the 1001st floor.

After saying goodbye to Leo and Bellica who were still going down, Roya walked deeper along the passage on the 1001st floor.

Da da da……

His pace gradually accelerated.

After walking for nearly half an hour at thirty times the speed of sound, he came to a huge bronze door.

This bronze door, which is tens of meters high and covered with rust, exudes an ominous feeling.

Just looking at this rusty bronze door, Roja's life instinct was warning him - get out of here quickly!

"Is the River Styx just inside the door?"

Roja took a deep breath and hung the token on the door.

Kakaka——

The rusty bronze door vibrated open.

A strange sea breeze that seemed to come from the netherworld surged out from the crack in the door and blew on Roja's body.

Roja only felt that his magic and mental power were constantly decreasing under the blowing of this ghostly sea breeze.

"Is it just the sea breeze from the Styx that makes the magic and spiritual power continue to decrease?"

"but……"

It stands to reason that even a sixth-level wizard cannot restore magic and spiritual power through conventional methods on the bank of the Styx, even if he uses potions.

But Roja found that his mental power could recover slowly?

Although the reply speed is much slower than usual, we are indeed replying!

"Is it because of the two soul certificates?"

"It seems that the danger of the Styx River is only for life below level eight."

"I wonder if an eighth-level expert can reach the end of the River Styx? Go to the Kingdom of the Dead through the River Styx?...Does the Kingdom of the Dead really exist in this world?"

Roja patted his head, calmed down, then stepped into the bronze door.

Boom!

The bronze door behind him was tightly closed.

What appeared in front of Roja was a vast bay.

Styx has the word "river" in its name, and is actually vast, much wider than any ocean in the world.

He came to the edge of the River Styx and looked at the turbulent water.

The river was constantly undulating and scouring the river banks, but it was strangely silent and silent.

Staring at the dark waters of the Styx, Roja had the urge to take some back, but he knew that was impossible, at least not something he could do at the third level.

Because the Styx water is invisible and traceless, it only exists in the Styx. There is nothing to scoop it up, and naturally there is no prop that can hold the Styx water.

The water of the River Styx is an illusory existence, and nothing can float on the River Styx.

Apart from--

Roja's eyes turned.

He saw a white one-person boat tied to the edge of the bay.

This is a small boat carved from the bones of some unknown monster, with a total length of three meters. It only has oars, fishing rods and an oil lamp hanging on the bow.

Ships could row on the River Styx only with oars.

Only by using a fishing rod can you fish for soul fish.

Only with the help of an oil lamp could the way back be found.

Boom!

He jumped on board the ship.

Crash--

He untied the rope and rowed the oar deeper into the River Styx.

He drove the boat into a gray fog. When the fog dissipated, he had arrived on a vast black ocean.

Looking up, the sky was gray.

Looking down, the dark river capable of swallowing all life was flowing slowly.

Looking back, all I see is endless darkness. Where is the port? Where is the Black Abyss Witch City? There wasn't even a sign of other anglers.

It was as if he was the only one in the whole world.

This world is terrifyingly dark and terrifyingly quiet.

In this world where he couldn't even tell the direction, only when he saw the oil lamp hanging on the bow of the ship, Roja felt a sense of security.

As long as he lights this oil lamp, it will lead him back to the port of Black Abyss Witch City like a guiding light.

"Is this what it feels like to fish alone in a boat?"

"If you stay here for a long time, people can easily become crazy."

Roja did not immediately pick up the fishing rod and go fishing because the probability of catching a soul fish here was really low.

The deeper you go into the River Styx, the greater the chance of catching a soul fish.

If you want to increase the probability of catching soul fish, you must go deep into the River Styx.

But in this world where you can't even tell the direction, how do you know you are going deep into the River Styx?

The method is very simple.

As long as any life stays on the River Styx, its vitality will continue to be lost. The deeper you go into the River Styx, the faster the loss of life will be, so you just need to move towards a place where the loss of life will become faster.

He held the oar in his hand and paddled slowly.

There was no "squeaking" sound that a paddle should make when paddling in the current, and his hands did not feel any force. He could not tell whether his boat was moving forward through the feel of his hands and the shaking of the boat, as if he was just paddling in the void. Like a paddle.

But the rate of loss of life has indeed changed.

It slowly increased from 10,000 units a day.

"That is to say, the ship I am traveling on is indeed heading towards the depths of the River Styx, right?"

"It feels really uncomfortable to have no reference!"

"Hey, there are still too many things I don't understand in this world!" (End of Chapter)
