Rise of the Dark Witch

From the moment the first person was eliminated, Roja was thinking about it.

Why were they eliminated?

When the second, third, fourth... people who were eliminated appeared one after another, Roja gradually found what they had in common.

There are two main reasons why those people were eliminated.

First, the mental strength is too weak.

Several people appeared here before they could even finish visualizing the nineteen meditation runes.

Secondly, I drank too little green liquid.

Drinking green liquid can improve the body's magic resistance.

Roja believes that everyone wants to drink as much green liquid as possible to increase the body's magic resistance as high as possible.

But the green liquid is highly poisonous!

The more you drink, the more toxins your body accumulates, the more uncomfortable and painful you are, and the more likely you are to die suddenly.

Who wants to drink something that will cause them pain and sudden death?

So some people were lazy and didn't drink many bottles of green liquid because they were lucky.

Then they were eliminated.

Roya breathed a sigh of relief after finding out why those losers failed.

This proved that all the preparations and efforts he had made before were useful.

After the thirteen unqualified candidates were selected, the wizard standing at the front spoke.

"The trialists of the Holy Luolan Empire."

"You can call me Wizard Achisai, and I will be your guide for this wizard trial."

The voice of Wizard Aqisai was very hoarse and unpleasant, but it carried a strange magical power that caused the sound to not attenuate and reverberate clearly in people's ears even if they were thousands of meters away.

These words of Wizard Aqisai caused a lot of commotion in the crowd.

because--

Holy Luolan Empire?

The Holy Luolan Empire did unify the Six Kingdoms, but it collapsed three thousand years ago?

At first, it split into the Seiran Kingdom and the Shinra Empire, and then continued to split, eventually becoming the six empires it has today.

This is also the reason why the Holy Lan Kingdom and the Shinra Empire are old enemies, because both sides are claiming to be the orthodox successors of the Holy Lan Empire.

Why did Achisai wizard call them the trialists from the Holy Luolan Empire?

A country that ceased to exist three thousand years ago?

Is it because the Achisai wizard comes from somewhere other than the Six Kingdoms?

Is it because people outside the Six Kingdoms have always called the Six Kingdoms the Holy Luolan Empire?

It's okay for people from the Holy Lan Kingdom and the Holy Luo Lan Empire. After all, they were split from the Holy Luo Lan Empire, and they all claim to be the orthodox successors of the Holy Luo Lan Empire.

People from other countries in the Six Kingdoms Land were not so happy.

How much they wanted to ask Wizard Achisai, but no one dared to ask.

In the end, I could only silently accept the fact that they all came from the Holy Luo Lan Empire.

Wizard Achisai ignored everyone's thoughts.

He waved his hand and said, "Follow me."

Everyone who was kneeling on the ground stood up one after another and followed Wizard Achisai into the hideous cracks in the front wall.

A group of hundreds of people walked silently.

No one spoke.

Everyone present was extremely nervous.

Only heavy breathing echoed around, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

Some of the more fragile people even cried quietly.

"Gulu gulu..."

The sound of boiling water reached people's ears.

As people continued to go deeper, the sounds became louder and louder, and at the same time, there was also the smell of blood.

arrive!

Wizard Aqisai led everyone to the edge of a huge blood pool a hundred meters in diameter.

The blood-red liquid in the blood pool kept boiling and rolling, and the bubbles bulged and burst one by one.

The disgusting stench gushed out from the blood pool, making everyone who smelled it feel nauseous.

Wizard Aqisai pointed to the blood pool and introduced: "This is the pregnancy blood pool, where the blood trial is conducted."

Seeing someone in the crowd retreating in fear, Wizard Aqisai smiled.

"Are you scared?"

"Haha, in the following days, you will dream about the blood trial every day."

"Because the blood trial is the key to increasing blood concentration, and if you want to become a wizard apprentice, your blood concentration must reach at least 30%."

"And the blood concentration of most of you here..." Wizard Aqisai paused, then continued: "They are only about 5%, and each blood trial can increase by about 5%. Bloodline concentration of five.”

"That is to say, if you want to reach the 30% blood concentration standard, you need to conduct at least five blood trials."

"And except for the first time, that is, the current blood trial is free..."

Wizard Aqisai chuckled and said, "You must pay expensive points in exchange for the following blood trials."

Everyone who was originally frightened by the boiling blood pool, after listening to Wizard Aqisai's explanation, looked excited and wanted to jump into the pregnancy blood pool immediately to undergo the blood test.

Wizard Aqisai did not keep everyone waiting for too long.

"The blood trial begins!"

As soon as Wizard Aqisai finished speaking, someone immediately walked quickly towards the pregnant blood pool.

Plop! Plop! Plop! ——

One after another, people took a deep breath and jumped into the pool of pregnancy blood.

Then, shrill screams came from the mouths of those people.

They struggled and screamed in the boiling pool of blood.

Some people, while screaming, had their bodies corroded by blood and water, turning into white bones floating in the blood pool.

After absorbing the strange energy contained in the blood pool, some people's bodies mutated and turned into irrational inhuman monsters. They were then swallowed by the black snake on the right shoulder of the Achisai wizard.

And those who succeeded roared with excitement.

"Is this magic?"

"In front of this power, no matter how powerful the knight is, they are just ants!"

"Haha, you can get such powerful power without being a real wizard apprentice?"

Looking at those successful people, many people look envious.

As for those who failed?

No one paid attention at all.

Because by this time, everyone knows - if you don't succeed, there is only death!

Roja stood at the edge of the pregnant blood pool, looking down at the boiling blood in the pool.

"Has the long-awaited Blood Trial finally arrived?"

Roja glanced at the people standing next to Wizard Achisai who had successfully passed the blood trial.

He took a deep breath, bent his legs straight, and jumped towards the pregnant blood pool.

Plop!

Roja felt as if he had jumped into lava, and every part of his body was being burned.

In the severe pain, Roja felt that something was awakening in his body.

Contained in the deepest part of the body, the blood has been sleeping...

Wake up!

The awakened bloodline was like a starving ghost who hadn't eaten for hundreds of years, frantically devouring the energy contained in the blood pool.

Gulu gulu——

As if the body's gate was opened, the strange energy contained in the blood pool was vented towards Roja's body.

"So hot!"

"it hurts!"

"So bloated!"

Faced with the blood trial, which would lead to death if it failed, Roja did not dare to neglect it.

He decisively used the evidence of two souls.

In mid-air, he looked down at himself wrapped in blood and water in the form of a soul.

Roja saw it and saw countless "little bugs" invisible to the naked eye in the blood pool. Those bugs were frantically burrowing towards his body.

At the same time, he saw, saw the bloody threads that were constantly squirming deep in his body - blood!

The blood vessels that live in the depths of the human body like parasites, crazily devouring the "little bugs" that pour into the body, then grow slowly, becoming thicker and stronger at a speed visible to the naked eye.
