Rise of the Dark Witch

In the forest at night.

The charred branches squirmed in the wind, as if they were the arms of a wraith that would pull all life into hell.

The Forest of Resentful Souls is one of the four mysterious sites of the Tomb of the Nation’s Subjugation!

The Forest of Resentful Souls is a terrifying forbidden place that can make children cry at night. It is a place that almost no one wants to set foot in.

However, some people used the Resentful Soul Forest as a gathering place to hold meetings.

In the deepest part of the Resentful Soul Forest.

The people of the Circle, headed by Leia, gathered together.

The number of people was much smaller than last time, so there were many empty seats at the long table.

Leia drank her black tea silently.

Leiter, a handsome man with blond hair, stood beside Leia like a butler, looking coldly at the people below who were discussing loudly.

"The secret station in Gray Mist City was discovered?"

"I didn't expect that a strong man like Kane would be killed by Count Cana."

"Our losses this time are really too great. Not only did many of our partners die, but we also attracted the attention of Count Cana."

"I have warned them a long time ago to keep a low profile."

"Being able to catch Kane and the others in one fell swoop is not just something that can be achieved by being strong. Count Khanna must also have a clear understanding of the layout, construction and retreat routes of the underground space."

"How is this possible?"

The people present looked at each other, and a word that they were not comfortable saying came to their minds at the same time - traitor!

Only when a traitor emerges can Kane and the others be wiped out in one fell swoop!

Everyone chatted for a long time, but no one came up with anything valuable.

In the end, they could only focus on Leia.

"Lady Leia, what should we do next?"

"Are you going to kill the Kana family? Or continue to tolerate it?"

"As long as you give an order, we will obey it no matter what."

Under everyone's gaze, Leia put down the teacup in her hand.

She said in a clear voice: "My plan has not changed. Just follow the plan we made at the beginning."

Faced with the death of many of her companions, including Kane, Leia seemed to have no expression.

This made everyone present who was loyal to Leia frown slightly.

They weren't blaming Leia.

In the final analysis, Kane's death was caused by himself.

It was Kane who risked exposing the Council of Circumstances because of his personal vendetta against Count Cana.

Kane's death was not felt by many people present.

The problem is what Kane's death exposed -

There is a traitor among them!

Who is the traitor?

They all looked at their companions.

He cast doubtful eyes on his companions whom he should have absolutely believed in and shared life and death with.

Every partner is so trustworthy.

Every partner is someone you can trust and trust.

That's how it should be.

But why does it become like this?

The chain of suspicion and suspicion caused a gap in the hearts of those who were gathered together because of their ideals.

In doubt, many eyes turned to one of them, the least trusted person.

The red dragon beauty Xifer!

Xifer is a money-grubbing person who will do anything for money.

Once upon a time, Siffel obeyed Earl Cana's orders for money and helped Earl Cana do many bad things.

At the beginning, many people present were opposed to the cooperation with Xifer, but because Leia, the leader, gave a death order, they had no choice but to accept it.

However, not even two years after Siffel joined, a traitor appeared in the united Environmental Council!

Who is this traitor?

Who is most suspicious?

Don’t even think about it!

Being stared at by many suspicious eyes, Xifer remained unmoved.

From the beginning of the meeting, she sat quietly with her eyes closed, as if everything was none of her business.

Even though she was being treated as a traitor now, she still didn't show any signs of it.

When someone was about to question Syphiel, Leia, the leader, spoke up, "We have no traitors here."

"No?"

"But……"

Faced with Leia's unquestionable words, the people below could only suppress their doubts and choose to believe.

Because so far, Leia has never made a mistake!

…

After the meeting.

One by one, the environmental council members left.

In the depths of the gloomy forest of resentful souls, only Leia, Leiter and Syphiel were left.

Xiphiel, who had kept his eyes closed and said nothing since the beginning of the meeting, finally opened his eyes.

In the depths of her eyes, the flames of anger were burning.

"Is he really dead?" Xiphiel asked in a low voice.

Regarding the death of Kane or others, Syphiel didn't care at all, because the reason why she cooperated with Leia and the others was only because of the financial relationship, and Leia and the others were not her partners at all.

But Roja is different!

To her, Roya was the most important man in her life, second only to money.

Roya is dead?

Killed by Count Cana, Lord of Gray Mist City?

Because she was too angry, invisible power overflowed from her body. Her long hair moved automatically without wind, and the table and chairs beside her made a cracking sound.

Xifer was on the verge of going berserk at any moment.

The reason why she didn't immediately rush into the Khanna family and kill them was because she believed it.

She believed in Roya.

After nearly two years of getting along, even she who doesn't like to use her brain is aware of Roja's mystery and power.

Roya has been hiding his identity all this time!

Roja has been hiding his power!

She could vaguely feel that the reason why Leia cooperated with her was that the real target was Roja.

Otherwise, why would the Environmental Protection Committee be with a person who values ​​money more than anything else, has a bad character, and has committed countless crimes...

More importantly, Siffel is a person who is not trustworthy at all!

Syphiel could betray them at any time!

Why do you still cooperate with Xifer when you know that he is this kind of person?

At that time, Syphiel simply felt that the Ring Council would need her fighting power, but now she understands.

Xiphiel, who has realized Roja's power, knows that Roja will never die so easily.

And among the people she knew, the only one who knew the truth was probably Leia.

She will act based on Leia's answers.

If Roya was really killed by Count Cana, then she would directly kill the Cana family to avenge Roya.

As for Leia and the Council, she doesn't care at all!

She waited for Leia's answer.

"He's still alive." Leia nodded.

"Huh..." Xiphiel breathed a sigh of relief, "I hope you won't lie to me."

Since Roja is not dead, where is Roja now? what are you doing? Why did he fake his death without saying a word?

Syphiel wanted to know the answer, but she did not continue to ask.

There must be a reason why Roja didn't tell her.

She just needs to know that Roja is not dead.

"When can I see him again?" Xiphiel asked.

"In two or three years," Leia replied.

After receiving a satisfactory answer, Syphiel nodded to Leia and stood up to leave.

Leia, who had never taken the initiative to ask a question, suddenly asked: "How are you tapping into the power of your dragon body?"

This question made the corner of Xifeier's mouth curl up.

Her hands slowly clenched hard.

Then--

"ha!"

As Xiphiel let out a low drink, a golden invisible power burst out from her body, burning fiercely throughout her body.

Under the influence of this golden power, her waist-length red hair automatically danced wildly in mid-air without any wind. Those with sharp eyes could see that the tips of her hair turned from red to gold.

It is the exclusive power of dragon people, dragon fighting spirit!

Dragon Dou Qi possesses the destructive power no less than that of Yan Dou's magic power, and it can also rely on Dragon Dou Qi to release many dragon-man secret techniques that are no less powerful than witchcraft.

After two years of guidance and treatment from Roja, Xiphiel has healed all the hidden wounds on his body and transformed into the Dragon Fighting Energy, the exclusive power of the Dragon Man.

If calculated according to the wizard's level, Xifeier's cultivation level is only the third-class apprentice level.

But because as a dragon, she has a powerful body comparable to legendary monsters, and dragon fighting energy that is as destructive as shoulder flame fighting magic, her combat effectiveness is not inferior to that of a first-level wizard.

"Even if we look at the entire dragon race, your talent is at the top." After Leia praised Xiphiel, she regretted: "It's a pity that you don't have the exclusive training method of the dragon race. If this continues, No matter how good your talent is, it will be buried.”

The lifespan of the dragon people is much longer than that of humans.

If the ideal lifespan of ordinary humans is to live a hundred years, then the ideal lifespan of dragon people is to live a hundred and fifty years.

But even Xiphiel, who had a life span of 150 years, is now 40 or 50 years old.

A third of the time passed, and it turned out that he had not even touched the most basic dragon skills.

It is equivalent to ordinary people starting to learn the Knight Breathing Technique when they are thirty years old. No matter how talented they are, their achievements will be limited.

But it’s not too late to start practicing and studying now.

Leia waved her hand at Xifer, and a small stone flew towards Xifer.

Xifeier reflexively reached out to catch the stone.

A weak fluctuation of mental power came from the small stone, entered the depths of Xifeier's brain, and transformed into characters and patterns in her consciousness.

"Um?"

Xiphiel's attention was immediately deeply attracted by what appeared in his mind.

Because what Leia gave her was a secret cultivation method unique to the dragon clan!

And it is a secret cultivation method that reaches the first level!

The "Red Dragon Sword Technique" that Roja helped improve, for Mr. Xiphiel, who is a dragon man, is equivalent to ordinary people getting a complete knight's breathing technique.

However, what Leia gave is like a wizard's technique that can be directly cultivated to the first level!

Several hours had passed since Xiphier read and wrote down the cultivation techniques that appeared in the depths of his consciousness.

She opened her eyes and wondered: "Why?"

Her relationship with Leia is more of a business relationship than a partnership.

She would help Leia purely for the sake of money.

As long as the enemy gives enough chips, she may rebel at any time.

In this case, why would Leia give her the Dragon Man Technique?

Leia did not answer Xifer's question directly, she said to herself:

"The dragon people are a powerful clan that combines the advantages of both dragons and humans. However, within the land of the Six Kingdoms... it should be said that there is no habitat for dragon people in the entire Shenwa Witch Territory."

"The closest dragon gathering place to us will take several years to fly even at the speed of light."

"So as a dragon, why are you here?"

"Have you ever thought about the reason?"

However, Syphiel, who should have furrowed his brows and thought hard, actually looked at Leia speechlessly, "Just because of this little thing? Of course I know the reason why I am here?"

Xiphiel pointed to her head and said: "Although I don't like to use my brain very much and my memory is not very good, but..."

"There's one thing I remember!"

“The fact that I broke through the ice that sealed me and came into this world.”

Xiphiel touched his chin and concluded: "So I was probably a child from the dragon tribe who accidentally fell into the ice and was frozen. It was not until a few decades ago that I was lucky enough to be unsealed."

Leia neither agreed nor objected to Sifer's statement, "I look forward to the day when you can recall all your memories."

Syphiel looked at Leia doubtfully.

Leia knows her true identity?

Since you know it, just say it directly?

What's the deal?

"I hate the Riddler the most." Syphiel snorted coldly, turned around and walked towards the outside of the Resentful Soul Forest.

Syphiel left.

Not long after, Leiter also left.

In the huge forest of resentful souls, Leia was the only one left alive.

Leia did not leave, she drank black tea elegantly from the teacup.

She is waiting.

It didn't take long.

The Resentful Soul Forest began to tremble, as if something that frightened them had entered the Resentful Soul Forest.

The trees shook from far to near, approaching Leia.

Click!

A little girl in white robes, holding a wooden staff that was even taller than her height, walked out of the dense forest on dead branches and came to Leia.

The girl in white robe casually took the cakes on the table and ate them.

After eating a few pieces, he said, "Saint of the Church of Truth, you should know my purpose this time, right?"

"Royal Nangle?" Leia asked softly.

"That's right!" The girl in white robe nodded.

"The blood descendant of the Lord of the Abyss, Roja's existence should not affect your plan."

"It has nothing to do with you."

"After the abominable incident in Gray Mist City is over, he will be left to your disposal."

"good."

After reaching an agreement with Leia in a few words, the girl in white robe ate a few more pastries and left.

Now, Leia was really the only one left in the Forest of Resentful Souls.

Leia gently touched the ribbon wrapped around her eyes.

Even though her eyes were wrapped with ribbons, she could only see more and definitely not less than the others.

"Roya Nange?" Leia's figure appeared in her mind. "Innate Demon God of the soul, I wonder how far you can go?"

"Let me look forward to it."

The next moment, Leia's figure disappeared with the wind.
