Chapter Three Hundred Fifty:
A drop of Ice Rain condensed in the air and fell, striking the parched, scorched earth.
It was as if a prelude to a torrential downpour, and suddenly, a heavy curtain of rain descended from the sky.
A muffled sound echoed as the rain seemed to envelop the entire area in a hazy white veil.
Under the sudden onslaught of the rain, all the fleeing or fighting witches seemed to sense something and raised their heads in unison.
"What kind of monster is this?" a Wilderness Witch exclaimed, her face pale as she looked up at the sky.
In her pupils, a Green Giant Serpent, hundreds of meters long, opened its massive jaws and charged toward the Bloodthirsty Giant with unmatched momentum.
Most of the witches stared blankly at the colossal creature in the sky, unsure of what to do.
The Witch Leader, clad in a Dark Red Robe, suddenly seemed to realize something. Her expression changed dramatically as she shouted out loud.
"Wilderness Witches! Everyone, get down!"
As soon as she finished shouting, the entire sky shook violently.
Boom!!!
A massive wave of white energy erupted explosively, crashing toward all directions like a towering tsunami.
Some wizards who failed to react were directly engulfed by the wave, their bodies instantly torn to shreds with a swift motion.
The rain that had suddenly fallen seemed to clear a space in the air before continuing to pour down.
At the center of the wave, King Cobra's enormous figure violently struck the Bloodthirsty Giant, sending it flying in shock. Then, it wrapped around the giant with fierce tenacity, and one could even hear the creaking sounds of the giant's bones under the pressure.
King Cobra then opened its Big Mouth and lunged at the giant's grotesque head.
However, just as the sharp fangs of the snake were about to make contact, the giant's black hole-like eyes suddenly shot out two beams of pitch-black light, instantly enveloping King Cobra's head.
The Bloody Lord's face twisted into a grimace at that moment.
"Die for me!!"
The excruciating pain forced King Cobra to release its grip on the giant and ascend back into the air.
Its transparent membranes gently flapped, supporting King Cobra's massive body. The head of King Cobra, struck by Black Light, was left in ruins.
However, as crimson Thin Lines began to converge on King Cobra from the ground through the rain curtain, its damaged head quickly restored itself to normal.
"Roar!!"
Now fully recovered, King Cobra charged once more at the Bloody Lord, and the rain in the air rapidly converged toward King Cobra itself.
In no time, the colossal serpent grew even larger, doubling in size to hundreds of meters long.
Even with the size of the Bloodthirsty Giant, it was now comparable to a child under the massive form of the King Cobra.
He could only reach for the red net in the air before being swallowed by the King Cobra's enormous mouth with a 'poof'.
After being consumed, the King Cobra's form suddenly froze, its vast emerald body slowly floating in the air, casting a shadow that darkened the ground below.
After a violent wave of energy, the surviving sorcerers struggled to their feet, gazing up in disbelief.
It seemed they had yet to recover from the battle between the two monsters.
Some lower-ranking Underworld Sorcerers even lost their sanity and began to babble incoherently.
"How could such a powerful monster be hidden here! Damn it! I will report the Gobel Family to higher authorities; this operation initially did not mention any enemies other than the Wilderness Witch!"
However, just as the sorcerer finished speaking, the King Cobra's body, composed of rainwater, suddenly shattered.
The broken form transformed back into raindrops falling onto the ground, and surprisingly, the originally charred earth began to show signs of turning into a swamp due to the rainwater's nourishment.
As the King Cobra's body shattered, the figure of the Bloody Lord slowly emerged, though his face was now suppressed with intense anger, and before him still loomed the massive King Cobra.
"Very well! I will remember this! If it weren't for the weak projection power of this body in the Wizarding World, I would return."
As he spoke, his form began to fade, strands of red light peeling away from him and dissipating into the air.
In the center of his body, Gobel, wearing Red Armored Man attire, reappeared.
However, at this moment, his life force had completely vanished; a Black Dagger was firmly embedded in his chest. After the Bloody Lord disappeared, his body quickly disintegrated into Black Particles.
Feeling the massive and evil will of the Bloody Lord dissipate from the Wizarding World, the King Cobra, which had been floating in the air, slowly lowered its head. Its green, crystal-like snake eyes scanned the surrounding wizards. Then, it suddenly lunged downward.
All the wizards felt a sudden tightening in their hearts; however, there was no impact as imagined, only a more intense downpour.
The witch in the Dark Red Robe crouching on the ground felt a lightness around her waist. It was as if something had vanished, and suddenly her face turned pale.
Half an hour later.
The figure of Freya slowly emerged above the King Cobra's head. Her face was slightly pale as she helplessly glanced at the King Cobra Mark on her right hand.
The mark that had solidified was once again becoming illusory and transparent, as if it were about to disappear at any moment.
"I've suffered a huge loss this time; I unexpectedly lost two-thirds of the Bloodline Power that I had painstakingly accumulated. I don't know when I can recover it. No wonder it's an existence close to the level of a Dawn Wizard. Fortunately, I have the life force emitted by the seed of the Tree of Life as a supplement. If his projection power were even slightly stronger or if time were delayed for a few more minutes..."
After considering the consequences of the King Cobra Mark completely disappearing, Freya shook her head with some lingering fear.
Although her current strength at full display was also at Third Peak, it was achieved by consuming a massive amount of Bloodline Power and was fundamentally different from a Third-Rank Wizard who advanced through normal means.
"The Bloody Lord of Annihilation World," a strange look flashed in Freya's eyes. "I must prepare for my third-level advancement quickly when I return, and also for the first form condensation of King Cobra Legacy. The exploitation of Hell World Bloodline is too wasteful when constantly releasing abilities through Bloodline; it could easily lead to a break in inheritance."
The first form condensation of King Cobra Legacy did not have any special requirements; it only needed a large amount of powerful Bloodline to condense a new body.
Previously, due to that strange Bandage Creature's absorption, Freya had already vaguely grasped the next ability of King Cobra. If she could fully master it, she would likely be able to complete the first form. However, she did not expect to encounter such a situation.
"However, aside from the consumed Bloodline Power, there are actually other gains." Freya murmured lightly as she took out a Red Bead from her waist and revealed a faint smile.
"I didn't expect that what they were fighting over would be the Spiritual Orb."
The Spiritual Orb only occasionally appears among her Toy Room's trading badges.
This treasure has only one function: to greatly enhance one's sensitivity to controlling mental power. Once used, the Spiritual Orb becomes ineffective, making it a very precious one-time consumable.
Previously, when she took action, she had already noticed that aside from the Underworld Sorcerer transformed into the Bloody Lord's avatar, the Wilderness Witch in the Dark Red Robe was the strongest on the battlefield. Among Third-Rank Wizards, she was considered to be of average level.
However, for that battle, being close to a Dawn Wizard at Third Peak and being of average level are two entirely different matters.
In battles of that caliber, even she had no possibility of intervening.
"The trading price of the Spiritual Orb can only be exchanged for materials of the same level. It has a significant effect on promotion or casting spells that are higher than one's own level. I estimate that their competition for this item is also to increase their chances of advancement," Freya analyzed calmly.
For such a precious item, she had already decided to use it for this third-level promotion. Although it felt like a loss, it was better to use the Spiritual Orb early rather than risk future complications.
"Moreover, there’s also the seed of the Tree of Life. If I’m not mistaken, this item with an extremely rich life aura can be used as a recovery item and has good restraining abilities against certain special creatures. For example, cultivating creatures from Hell World after returning might be worth trying. As for the inheritance will on the Tree of Life, I need to think about it further."
This time, in order to remove the contamination power from Hell World, Freya did not expect to have such an opportunity.
Not only did she inexplicably reach the third-level tier, but she also unexpectedly obtained such a valuable item as the Spiritual Orb.
Once she successfully advances to third-level, it will be very convenient for collecting Bloodlines or doing other things.
After all, a Third-Rank Wizard is a powerful presence that cannot be ignored in Cloud City or most wizard gathering places.
...
Two months later.
In the Lakefront Manor of Crimson Plain.
In a laboratory, Freya slowly placed the tools in her hand back to their designated positions. Then she covered the iron cage on the Experiment Table with a black cloth, cleaned her palms briefly, and left the room.
Outside the manor, lush vegetation completely enveloped the estate, making it nearly impossible to see the surrounding walls and the outside scenery.
Warm sunlight filtered through the tall plants, casting various circular patches of light on the ground.
Freya quietly walked along the stone-paved path, with shadows from the green trees flickering across her body.
After turning a corner, she soon arrived at her greenhouse.
Inside the large greenhouse covered with glass, many precious plants of various kinds were cultivated. These had been purchased from different places or exchanged from the Toy Room.
In addition to some commonly used spellcasting materials, there were also many plants with special purposes.
After briefly checking a few delicate Blue Flowers, Freya turned and walked deeper into the greenhouse.
In a sunlit area, a wooden special Metal Rack held only an exquisite flowerpot.
Inside the pot was a layer of unique Purple Soil, quietly nurturing a tender green Seedling.
Glancing at the Seedling, Freya picked up a watering can nearby and began to water it.
As the water was poured, the leaves of the Seedling seemed to breathe lightly, contracting slightly as a pleasant emotion seemed to emanate from above.
Feeling that it was enough, she set down the watering can and quietly observed this seemingly ordinary Seedling.
"With a growth period of one and a half months, this size is relatively normal for the Tree of Life. If one wishes to restore it to the peak of its ancient state, it would likely take at least a thousand years."
The Tree of Life is different from the Ancient Beasts. Although it can also accelerate its growth through Bloodline, it is still a plant that relies on absorbing various nutrients from the earth and sunlight.
This requires a long wait. However, for the Tree of Life, even if it has not reached its peak, there are still other resources that Freya can utilize.
For example, the leaves or roots of the Tree of Life, as well as the Fountain of Life secreted by the ancient tree after a long time.
These are resources that any wizard would find rare and valuable.
Moreover, these items, rich in life energy, are fundamental to Freya's plan to initiate the Bloodline Collection Plan in Hell World.
After all, her Bloodline Power has become very thin and cannot be consumed as lavishly as before.
To take action in the Underworld, she can only borrow the power of the Tree of Life, which is opposite to the energy of the underground.
A faint sound interrupted Freya's thoughts. She looked down to see an eagle mark on her index finger glowing with Azure Light.
Seeing that mark, Freya was momentarily taken aback.
"Ah, is this a message from the Deputy Director?"
In confusion, she extended her mental tendrils to connect with the mark, and immediately the voice of Vice Minister Melong Lawrence came through.
"This is the command center of the Rune Department. All core members of the Rune Department must report to the Rune Department within three days after hearing this message. There are important events that need to be announced from above. If you have any matters to discuss, you can come to me individually. All core members of the Rune Department..."
The information disappeared after being repeated twice. Looking at the dimmed Blood Eagle mark, Freya thought for a moment and flicked her finger.
The mark on her nail instantly transformed into a strange spider mark with sixteen limbs. She spoke in a calmer tone.
"Seth, do you know what’s going on this time that requires everyone to report?"
Seth was one of Meilong's disciples, but he was the only one who had been following Meilong in the Blood Eagle Territory's Rune Department, often handling various matters for Meilong. He was quite friendly and had good relationships with all the senior members of the Rune Department.
After Freya finished asking, a steady voice soon came from the mark.
"I'm not too sure about this either. Oh, right, it might be related to the recent discovery of a World Rift by the Guardian Corps. From what I heard from the teachers, it seems they want to conduct some research. According to the Grand Elder and several department heads, they have already entered to explore, but we won't know the specifics until three days later."
"World Rift?" Hearing Seth's words, Freya was slightly taken aback. "Do you know what world it is?" To be continued.
