Chapter 214 : Chapter 214

Chapter 214: Letting the Wolf into the House

“It’s Tan Han! Hahaha! Good! Good! You’re all here! I didn’t expect to trick you all over so easily, it was effortless! All of you, die!”

“Finally, the important people are here, hehehe!”

At this moment, such voices came from the mouths of those undead, chaotic and numerous, as if Tan Han’s arrival did not frighten them, but rather stirred their desires.

Such confidence, if it was only because of the alliance of numerous academies and the endless undead skeletons fighting a war of attrition, I could only laugh at the other side for being fools.

If there were still trump cards and methods.

Weren’t they going to reveal them now?

“Oh my god… why are there so many…”

“I see a very large Undead Awakening Ritual here, combined with the sound of their bell-ringing to create this effect.”

I gave a simple description, hoping that this Minian who came with Tan Han could be at ease, but my words seemed to make her even more flustered.

“Even after these skeletons are broken, their frames will reassemble. Is this also an effect that the undead ritual can achieve?”

Tan Han couldn’t help but ask after coming to the Witch Tea Party’s side to help clear out the approaching undead.

“These don’t seem to count as undead, they’re too weak… You can’t treat each skeleton as a whole, but rather all usable skeletons as a whole. The effect of the ritual is to form complete or semi-complete bodies that advance towards and attack the target.”

I said while rubbing a spell.

After I released my Floating Series spells, a large area of undead was suppressed, and Tan Han and the others breathed a slight sigh of relief.

“That’s right, individually they are indeed too weak.”

Tan Han also nodded and said.

After seeing my methods, Tan Han also spoke to me, “Have any ideas?”

“No, just a stupid method. Just get rid of all those guys from the Necromancer Academy who are hiding.”

“Is that so… you can do it?”

Tan Han nodded, her tone filled with anticipation rather than doubt.

“I guess so… If you don’t think facing so many academies at once is a big pressure, I’ll go give it a try,” I said.

“Naturally, there’s no pressure.”

If consumption isn’t considered, Tan Han silently said in her heart.

If the constantly reviving undead were removed from this battle, the imps from the Imp Academy and the little demons from the Demon Academy were also very disgusting.

There were also the fallen from the Fallen Academy and the undead and the undead walkers they controlled from the Undead Academy.

These high-end combatants would deliver a fatal blow to them while they were busy dealing with the undead!

“Hahaha! Still trying to find me? Who do you think you are… Ah!”

At this moment, before that student from the Necromancer Academy who was speaking through those cannon fodder undead could finish, I rode my broom towards a place I had been staring at for a long time.

After arriving, I unhesitatingly blasted that place with a Fireball.

As that guy let out a final scream, a considerable number of undead in the sea of undead also showed signs of losing control, accompanied by the same wails as that guy.

If the consciousness of the imps from the Imp Academy were as normal as an ordinary person’s at this moment, they would definitely loudly tell that idiot that the other party was an Innate Spirit Visionary.

This was not a secret in the Imp Academy.

The Imp Academy didn’t care about the madness of an Innate Spirit Visionary; in fact, they would be very eager for it.

Regardless of whether the main body was a lunatic, they were welcome to “integrate” into the big family of imps, to be born again into this world as an imp!

Innate Spirit Visionaries could not actively acquire transcendent power, so the imps would help them acquire power passively, and the price was no longer being themselves.

But for a lunatic who didn’t even have self-awareness, what kind of side effect was this?

If the Madness Threshold was a hurdle in Spirit Vision that, once crossed, opened up a whole new world, then Innate Spirit Visionaries were the poor souls blocked by this hurdle.

If Spirit Vision was a blessing bestowed upon people by the Main World, then the Madness Threshold was a barrier that appeared to stop individuals like Innate Spirit Visionaries from abusing this blessing.

This was the most mainstream speculation in the Main World about the predicament faced by Innate Spirit Visionaries.

Many Transcendent Academies, including the Witch Academy, had conducted research on Innate Spirit Visionaries, but it ultimately came to nothing.

The Imp Academy referred to this use of Innate Spirit Visionaries as waste utilization, which was also a helpless measure.

The imps fighting for the Imp Academy at this moment were just newly born imps, also imps born with the crazy Innate Spirit Visionaries scavenged from all over the world by the Imp Academy as their main bodies.

The more powerful an imp became, the more it would break away from low-level chaos and madness, and begin to think and obey orders.

The imps believed that the imps with Innate Spirit Visionaries as their main bodies were also the same, but this would be a long process.

Therefore, in order for the newly born imps to meet the standards for participating in this exchange competition, the higher-ups of the Imp Academy made modifications, turning them into half-undead, obeying the commands of the Necromancer Academy.

It didn’t matter if the imps were crazy; they could quiet down as long as they obeyed orders.

As for whether it was too outrageous to hand such a matter over to another academy?

No, no, no, whether it was the undead, imps, or little demons, the establishment of these academies could not escape a shadow, and that was the shadow of the Abyssal Demons.

The Abyssal Demon force that was watching eagerly from outside the Main World, fantasizing about becoming the fifth transcendent race in the Main World.

No matter who the “students” were handed to, it was just a matter of passing from the left hand to the right.

Besides, in the eyes of these academies, were they really students?

Sorry, there was no concept of an academy among the Abyssal Demon race; that was a representative of chaos and disorder!

Although the imps couldn’t loudly tell this truth, they would transmit this information as feedback, after all, the imps were primarily under the command of the undead.

“Damn it, that person is an Innate Spirit Visionary! She can see the connection between the undead and us!”

“Innate Spirit Visionary? Isn’t that a lunatic?”

“How would I know, witches are lunatics to begin with, protect yourself…”

At this moment, I couldn’t hear their whispers, but it didn’t matter even if I did.

Did they really think they could be safe just by being careful?

Those undead were controlled by the undead ritual, and the ritual needed to be controlled by them.

Although this connection was not obvious in my eyes, it was not invisible.

“It seems you didn’t hide well enough.”

When I found another one, I didn’t rush to kill him, but disabled him so that he couldn’t even commit suicide.

“Tell me, what are your other trump cards?”

“Damn witch! I’ll kill you! Turn you into an undead puppet that I can command at will!”

“I’m asking you what your trump card is!”

I directly slapped him.

“Hit me, hit me! I won’t feel any pain at all! Come on!”

“Smack!”

“Is that all! Not enough! I have plenty of trump cards!”

“Smack!”

“Even if I die, I won’t tell you! I’ll just let you guess! Guess until you die! You’ll never guess it!”

“Alright, looks like there are no more trump cards.”

After reaching this conclusion, I sent him to be revived directly amidst his shocked and incredulous gaze.

I guess he didn’t know where on the map he would revive now.

As I cleared out these undead hiding in the dark one by one, they were destined not to be too far away because they had to control the undead ritual.

Tan Han was also not soft-hearted.

The Flame Lord she summoned was also on a crazy killing spree at this moment, while she herself used a transformation spell to kill the guys from other academies in the sea of undead.

Minian stayed at the Witch Tea Party to protect the safety of the ritual, and by the way, cleaned up the undead that were missing.

Just when I was thinking of continuing to deal with them, I found that they had run away directly.

Running away meant that their psychological defense had been broken, they felt their chances of winning were not high, and they wanted to preserve their remaining strength.

Similarly, catching them would definitely allow me to obtain more useful information.

“Why are you running? I’m asking you, why are you running!”

I rode my broom and locked onto one of the ones who was running away in the most unsightly manner.

This kind of panicked guy was the easiest to threaten.

“You’ve already run away, it seems you really have no more trump cards.”

I didn’t do anything to him.

After all, his body seemed to no longer feel pain or threats.

Forcibly disabling him would instead arouse his rebellious mentality, so I just blocked his path like this, putting him in a dilemma.

“I… you…”

“Answer my question. If you answer correctly, I’ll let you go,” I stated in a calm tone.

“Impossible! You witches can’t be trusted! Even if I tell you, you’ll still kill me!”

“I just want to get information. If I wanted to kill, none of you could escape. You, that one over there, and that one running away, if I wanted to kill… not a single one could escape. Do you think I care much about the score?”

At this moment, under my methods, this student from the Necromancer Academy chose to bet that I wouldn’t go back on my word.

After all, the strength the other party had shown exceeded their expectations, and what was said was indeed reasonable.

“Okay… you ask!”

“Do you have any other methods?”

“No… really no more. Even if we did, we couldn’t beat you…”

“You relied on this kind of method to stop Tan Han?”

“I… we thought we could, with so many of our academies joining forces… joining forces…”

She couldn’t say the rest.

So many academies joining forces couldn’t beat one academy.

Wasn’t this admitting their own incompetence!

The answer in my heart was resolved, but I still felt upset, as if I had faced the enemy with all my strength, but the enemy was just a stinky fish and rotten shrimp putting on a brave front.

This sense of disparity was really huge.

However, without me as an exception, Tan Han didn’t seem to have any means to locate these guys from the Necromancer Academy.

Weighed down by the war of attrition, in the end, she could only watch helplessly as the ritual was submerged, not only by these undead, but also how to destroy that undead ritual would require slow exploration to find.

Without me, what would Tan Han rely on?

The protagonist’s halo?

As for the remaining questions, I couldn’t be bothered to ask, and the rest was naturally to kill this guy.

“Wait! You said you wouldn’t kill…”

“You yourself know that witches’ words can’t be trusted, what can I do? But it doesn’t matter, the guys I pointed to just now will all die with you once. Also, I do care a lot about the score.”

After killing him, I also directly chased after those few guys.

After all, they were all points, which couldn’t be wasted.

And at this moment, seeing the outcome of the Necromancer Academy as the leader, the other academies in the Fallen Land were not fools and decisively chose to run.

Of course, this excluded the Imp Academy.

Without the control of the undead, they directly turned into out-of-control madmen, with no other thoughts, no orders, not even letting go of the undead next to them.

“Little Han, the enemy’s main force has retreated. Did you clean them all up? But there are so many undead…”

“Barely, I guess. The undead are mainly about the undead ritual. Just destroy the ritual.”

“By the way, isn’t it that only one ritual can be successfully held at a time? How did the necromancers hold this undead ritual?”

“Hmm?”

I flew over and looked at Minian who asked the question with confusion, unable to follow her train of thought for a moment, “Oh, this ritual isn’t the scoring ritual for the academies in the exchange competition. It’s a ritual to control and awaken the undead, a kind of spell-casting method. Don’t get it twisted.”

“O… okay…”

Minian also realized that she had asked a question of low caliber and quickly lowered her presence.

“What about these undead? We can’t just let them stay like this, right?”

“These undead have low damage and are fragile. Don’t you think they make a pretty good backdrop for the Witch Tea Party?”

“Hmm?”

Tan Han was shocked by my words at this moment.

“Sorry, just kidding. Just destroy the ritual nodes. They probably spent a lot of time preparing for such a large-scale ritual. I’ll point out the ritual nodes, and we just need to destroy them,” I said with a wave of my hand and a smile.

“Actually, I think being a backdrop is also… uh…”

“If you can bear the magic power consumption, I naturally don’t mind,” I said with a smile, looking at Minian.

“I was just kidding, don’t take it seriously, really don’t take it seriously! Big Sis Xiao Han, that spell of yours looks like it consumes a lot. I can’t support it.”

“Alright, Tan Han, let’s just the two of us handle the nodes.”

As I spoke, I pointed to the nodes and marked them.

“You saw all of this through… seeing…”

“Hehe, yes.”

I interrupted Tan Han from continuing.

I knew what Tan Han was thinking, it was about Spirit Vision, right?

She was probably green with envy right now.

As I joined forces with Tan Han to shatter the surrounding ritual nodes, the undead fire in the eyes of those dry bones also gradually dissipated.

Only their currently frozen movements proved that they had once moved after death.

Returning from a distance, looking at the dense crowd of skeletons frozen in a posture of still trying to climb up, the atmosphere was very strange.

Standing on the top of the mountain of remains again, there was a sense of pleasure in looking down from above.

“It’s over, it’s over, right?”

Seeing that the undead were no longer moving, Minian also breathed a sigh of relief and slumped onto a chair at the tea party.

“Yes, it’s over. By the way, since the organizer of this tea party isn’t you, Little Han, who is it?”

Tan Han asked.

“I don’t know, but it’s highly likely to be Lan Baihui. When I came over, a succubus transformed into Lan Baihui’s appearance to ambush me, and I counter-killed her. I don’t know where she is now…”

I explained.

“There’s such a thing? Lan Baihui… I’ve also been paying attention to the situation of everyone in our Witch Academy. Before this tea party was prepared, she hadn't died in the middle of it until now. She should still be somewhere.”

“Not dead… then she’ll be hard to find. But right now, it’s still the tea party. We’ve been delayed for quite a long time. Do we still have time?”

I asked with some worry.

“This… theoretically, there’s still time. The Wizard Academy’s ritual was broken, and they can’t prepare for the next batch of rituals…”

“Wait, it’s not an interval of time, but an interval of batches?”

At this moment, I grasped the key question and asked.

“This rule is not clearly stated. It only says there is an interval. At first, I also thought it was a time interval, but we tried before the Wizard Academy finished their preparations and it didn’t work. But after their preparations were completed and destroyed, we could.”

“You guys tried? Wait, you originally found a place to hold a Witch Tea Party?”

I asked.

“Yeah, unfortunately, this place got it first, so we had no choice but to come over,” Minian said helplessly from the side.

“Alright, so the tea party continues? Is there any reason to continue?”

At this moment, I also started to move.

The invitation letters were already there.

In fact, we only needed to make the tea and desserts to complete the preparations.

The main thing was the ritual situation of the other academies.

“We harassed and destroyed the Holy Angel Academy’s ritual after we destroyed the Wizard Academy’s ritual. They were very rushed and gave up very decisively. The elves… I heard that a witch started a forest fire there… the ritual was put on hold…”

When Tan Han said this, her eyes looked at me, as if asking.

“Alright, I was indeed the one who started that fire. It would be a waste of natural firewood not to burn such a large forest,” I admitted with a shrug.

“Really? Big Sis Xiao Han, was it really you who caused that big fire? We were still wondering who was so bold. When we learned that it was a witch who did it, Big Sis Tan Han’s first guess was that you did it…”

I chose to selectively ignore Minian’s remarks and continued to look at Tan Han to analyze the situation.

“The other academies are either not as fast as us, or they are small academies. It’s much harder for small academies to complete the ritual than for us. Although there’s a possibility of being picked off, our chances of successfully preparing now are very high. It’s just the Sea Race. Their ritual preparations were before ours, and it’s estimated that no academy went to stop them, but their ritual is complex and difficult, so we can buy some time to be a little faster.”

“Alright, then I’ll have to be a bit faster, huh?”

I had already tied on an apron at this moment.

To do it quickly, then let’s make cookies, simple and convenient.

First, seize the initiative, and other desserts could continue to be made.

“Big Sis Xiao Han is making desserts again. I didn’t get to eat them last time. Big Sis Xiao Han, make more this time!”

“We do need to make more, it’s best to prepare some extra for everyone. When the next ritual starts, we can skip the dessert-making process.”

“Eh? Is that also possible?”

“If the rules don’t restrict it, it’s allowed by default.”

But speaking of food.

I remembered that I seemed to have a portion of cat food.

“By the way, have you guys eaten?”

“We don’t need to eat in the Dream State, right? I just followed Big Sis Tan Han around everywhere, I’m a bit hungry. Big Sis Xiao Han, hurry up, I want to eat desserts to fill my stomach!”

“I’ll make you a cup of black tea to warm your stomach first,” Tan Han said from the side.

“By the way, I have a portion of cat food here. When I went to the forest, I met a group of cute cat girls. They were performing a fish and rice sharing feast ritual, but in the end, the ritual failed, so they made it into cat food. Try it, it tastes good.”

While making cookies, I also took out the cat food from my storage equipment.

“Really? Big Sis Xiao Han, you even robbed others of their cat food?”

“What are you thinking? I helped them, it was just a thank-you gift they gave me.”

“Hurry up and bring it over! It would be great if cat food could be a dessert.”

Minian took the cat food from my hand, but she was still complaining.

“Stop dreaming. It would be great if you could help.”

“Sorry, Big Sis Xiao Han, I really don’t know anything about making desserts, I can’t help. Oh! By the way, Big Sis Xiao Han, can you tell me about you setting fire to the forest? It’s such a shame I wasn’t there for such a passionate event!”

“There’s nothing much to say. A group of elves messed with my mentality, and then the thought of setting fire to the World Tree arose, and then I just followed that thought and lit the fire.”

“Setting fire to the World Tree! Really! Please, Big Sis Xiao Han, bring me along when you burn it! I can also use fire magic!”

“Wait a bit, the forest fire spreads very slowly. Without my intervention, it will probably take a long time to burn to the foot of the World Tree.”

“Then aren’t you in a hurry, Big Sis Xiao Han? What if they put out the fire?”

“Then what will they use to put out the fire?”

“I heard they allied with the Sea Race or something but it seems like some accident happened…”

“I killed the two Sea Race members who came to form an alliance. They probably won’t have a chance to put out the fire for a short time.”

“Eh? You did this too, Big Sis Xiao Han? What on earth did you do behind our backs! Boohoo, I regret following Big Sis Tan Han…”

“Even if you followed me, it wouldn’t be much better…”

I chatted with them while making desserts.

And in the middle of it, Su Ningmu and Hedi also came here.

Su Ningmu came over carrying Hedi on her broom.

It seemed that she had mastered her flying skills well enough to carry someone.

“Looks like luck is still on our side.”

I placed the cookies on the table of the Witch Tea Party, and then the light pillar of the ritual changed again.

And at this moment, the other rituals were also completely shattered.

“Yay! This way, our Witch Academy’s score will be completely in the lead!”

“You guys eat first. Since we’ve already secured the ritual, I’ll make some more.”

After putting down the things, I passed by Tan Han, “What? What were you worried about just now?”

“Oh, nothing. I was just paying attention to the Sea Race’s ritual over there. I found that the progress of the ritual preparation will also be subtly reflected in the light pillar that envelops the ritual. The progress of the Sea Race’s ritual is very slow. It seems that their difficulty is even harder than I expected.”

“Oh? Is that so? I might have forgotten to mention that I was at the Sea Race’s ritual before I came. I came over with the invitation letter after I destroyed their ritual.”
