"What is he doing?" Kalinda looked at Mian above the magic array, also realizing that he would be a crucial point.
"That magic array should be a witch's formation... perhaps related to the spirit realm," Wolund replied after pondering for a moment.
"Witches? Could it be a spirit-summoning ritual?" Kalinda was evidently quite knowledgeable and knew a lot about witches.
"It seems a bit different from a spirit-summoning ritual..." Wolund shook his head. "Kalinda, go to the manor right now and find Xia Lun and the others..."
"Xia Lun and Aina? It's so dangerous here, why bring them?" Kalinda was completely confused. In her eyes, even though they were Wolund's elders, Xia Lun and the others were still just students... oh, they had just graduated.
Facing such a dangerous situation, she really didn't think they could be of any help.
"Cough... I'll explain it to you later, just go inform them about this first," Wolund said.
The commotion here was quite loud, so they should have noticed it already.
But they hadn't come over... perhaps because they didn't take the matters here to heart, or they thought he could handle it himself.
Olifendo was Wolund's territory, and it was impossible for them to intervene in everything.
Kalinda hesitated for a moment but ultimately nodded. Her trust in Wolund overwhelmed all her doubts. Her figure turned into a light breeze, instantly vanishing from the spot as she left.
Wolund cast his gaze back inside the magic array.
That astonishing magic power was like a raging torrent, yet it was precisely guided by Enlaisi, continuously pouring into Mian's body. The light of the magic power almost completely swallowed Mian, and his body trembled slightly under the impact of the energy, as if he would collapse at any moment.
"If you do this, his body will soon explode and he will die," Wolund said indifferently. An ordinary person obviously couldn't withstand such a massive amount of magic power.
"What did you say? Speak up, please." Enlaisi pointed to the defensive magic outside. "With this thing blocking, I can't hear you clearly."
This guy... what exactly did he want to do?
Without replying, Wolund only felt a stifling anger in his chest.
"You're probably worried about this kid, aren't you? Don't worry, he won't explode," Enlaisi continued. "His body was subtly modified by me. I used a lot of materials to give him an extremely strong magic resistance... Of course, that's not the point... That guy is not so easily satisfied..."
"That guy?" Wolund's heart sank. He immediately thought of the so-called Hero mentioned by the Twilight Apostle.
"What terms did he give you? To think you would actually help him like this."
"You know me best, Wolund, why don't you take a guess?" Enlaisi replied with a bitter smile.
"He can resurrect your wife?"
"You guessed right."
"Stop dreaming, Enlaisi. The dead cannot be resurrected. Don't you even understand such a simple truth?" Wolund rebuked sharply.
Except for that one... everyone who fell into the abyss to resurrect their loved ones only ended up with an even greater tragedy.
"If that Hero can be resurrected... there's no reason my wife can't be." Enlaisi shook his head. "I believe what he says."
"You're completely insane! That guy is not a hero at all!"
"Of course I know such an obvious thing." Enlaisi sighed, his expression looking especially exhausted. "I have no other choice."
"Are you going to release an evil god of unknown origin just for your wife? Do you know what he will do?" Flames almost burst from Wolund's eyes.
"Wolund..." Enlaisi took out a pipe from his pocket and held it in his mouth. "You still don't know me well enough."
...
"Did something happen in the academy?" Xia Lun squinted as he looked at the pillar of wind rising into the sky in the distance and then slowly dissipating.
"Probably." Aina hugged Xia Lun's arm and replied lazily, "Don't worry about it, Wolund will handle it."
"Hmm..." Xia Lun felt the increasingly dense magic power in the distance and sensed something was wrong. "Is it really okay?"
"Rest assured, Wolund's strength is also very formidable." Aina yawned softly, looking completely unconcerned.
"Is that so?" Since Aina said so, he didn't say anything more.
Aina hugged Xia Lun's waist and fell onto the grass, affectionately rubbing against his shoulder.
"The weather is really nice today," Aina said.
"It is pretty good." Xia Lun nodded in agreement.
The feeling of lying on the grass... really wasn't as good as lying in bed. The grass behind him was prickly and uncomfortably scratchy.
The sun shone warmly, and in front of them was a picturesque lake. The years were peaceful and quiet.
Aina's small hand reached under Xia Lun's clothes, her cold fingertips touching his skin.
"What are you trying to do?" Xia Lun immediately became alert.
"Come on, I know you definitely won't agree." Aina pouted. "It's nothing, just let me touch for a bit."
"Oh..."
After making sure Aina didn't have any other little tricks, Xia Lun let her do as she pleased with him.
But he soon realized that the situation seemed a bit off. Normally, shouldn't he be the one doing as he pleased with Aina? How did it get reversed now?
To prevent him from making any moves, Aina had actually taken the initiative to strike first.
Aina seemed to notice that Xia Lun had caught onto her intentions and revealed a triumphant smile.
"Heh, Aina, don't think that just because of this, I'm completely helpless."
"Oh? Xia Lun, what do you want to do? You need to be clear, I am the one attacking right now..."
"Do you think this is a game of chess? Aina, just because it's your turn doesn't mean I can't act."
"That's too unfair, Xia Lun..."
"This world is inherently unfair, Aina..."
Just as the affection between the two was deepening, a slight tremor suddenly came from the ground.
"What's wrong?" Xia Lun slowly raised his head.
The shaking became more and more violent, as if the entire earth was trembling. Ripples formed on the distant lake, and the flowers on the grass swayed along with it.
"Stop shaking!" Aina patted the ground somewhat displeased, as if reprimanding a disobedient child.
Just as Aina commanded, the earthquake stopped.
Xia Lun: ...
Aina gave a soft hum and pressed her lips against his, slowly pulling away only after a moment.
"What happened?" Xia Lun couldn't help but ask.
"Oh, Olifendo seems to be falling." Aina stroked the long hair by her ear. "I just stabilized it."
"Falling?"
"Maybe there's a problem with that magic stone vein. For example, some long-scheming little thieves stole the magic power from the vein..." Aina wrapped her arms around Xia Lun's neck, seeming to want to continue their tender moment for a little longer. "It's fine, it's not a big problem."
end. Thus one must continue to cultivate, and become a saint or great emperor, in order to prolong one's life. Chen Xia, however, completely reversed this. Since his transmigration, he has gained immortality, and also a system that awards him with attribute points for every year he lives. Thus between the myriad worlds, the legend of an unparalleled senior appeared. "A gentleman takes revenge; it is never too late even after ten thousand years." "When you were at your peak I yielded, now in your old age I shall trample on you." - Chen Xia
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
