Rise of the Dark Witch

Roja drove the boat silently forward in the River Styx.

When the rate of loss of magic and mental power in his body reached 100 million units a day, his hands let go of the oar.

He has 400 billion units of magic power, and losing 100 million units a day is nothing. The problem is that his mental power is only 5.3 billion units. Even if he has the dual soul certificate to restore his mental power, it is best not to take too many risks.

He picked up the fishing rod.

The fishing rod was made of who knows what kind of bones, and the cold feeling made Roja instinctively feel scared and sick.

"The River Styx is indeed a forbidden place for life. All living beings will instinctively be afraid of things related to the River Styx."

He held a fishing rod more than one meter long in his hand, injecting magic and spiritual power into the fishing rod. The translucent silk thread hung from the top of the fishing rod and penetrated deep into the dark River Styx.

"If you want to maintain the existence of the fishing line, do you have to inject vitality at all times? The deeper you go into the Styx, the greater the vitality required to maintain the fishing line."

"Here, in order to maintain the existence of the fishing line, I must consume 100 million units of magic and mental power every day."

"In other words, an average of 200 million units of magic and mental power per day?"

He held the fishing rod in both hands and stared calmly at the dark water with his eyes, looking at the small fishing line that penetrated deep into the water.

The vitality in his body was draining away bit by bit.

One day, two days, three days...

The soul fish has yet to take the bait.

"Fishing is so difficult -" Luo Ya sighed and said with emotion: "Ten soul fish, to be precise, twenty soul fish are needed. How long will it take to catch them in the Year of the Monkey?"

"Do you want to challenge the fiftieth floor of the third-level endless tower?"

"It's much harder than imagined."

The Level 3 Endless Tower challenges the fiftieth floor, which is as difficult as the eleventh trial of the Magic Machine. Only four of the more than 400 wizards in the entire Magic Machine Academy can pass the level.

Even if we look at the thousands of talented wizards under the age of a thousand in the entire wizarding world, there are only thirty-two people who have passed the fifty-fifty level.

Roja believed that he was very powerful. Even among those wizards who finally reached the seventh level when they were young, there were definitely no more than five people who were more powerful than him.

Therefore, he had the confidence to easily pass through the fiftieth floor of the third-level Endless Tower with Leo and Bellica as two burdens.

I just didn’t expect them to come to Black Abyss Witch City?

Will they fish for soul fish in the River Styx?

Fishing for soul fish is related to strength, but more depends on luck.

"How's my luck?"

Roja felt that his luck was pretty good, but it was just pretty good. With his strength and luck, if he wants to catch twenty soul fish, it will take at least decades, or at most hundreds of years.

If Leo and Bellica were included, they would not be able to leave here for a thousand years.

If necessary, he would decisively abandon Leo and Bellica and leave on his own.

"luck?"

"Luck does account for many factors for my current achievements, but what is more important is my strength, will, character, and..."

"Proof of Two Souls!"

At the moment when he opened the certificate of two souls, with the help of the high-dimensional perspective from the soul, his sight penetrated the water of the Styx and saw the scene deep in the Styx.

"Is it really possible?"

He laughed happily.

When he sensed that his mental power could be restored through the Dual Soul Certificate in the Styx, he knew that the restriction on life in the Styx was only eight levels or below.

A strong person of level eight or above is fully capable of ignoring the Styx.

Even a sixth-level wizard couldn't see the scene under the Styx through the water of the Styx, but Roja could easily do it through the proof of two souls.

Others can only rely on luck when fishing, but he can fish with perspective!

He glanced around and said, "There is not a soul fish within a hundred miles of here... If you continue to fish here, you may not be able to catch one in a year."

He took back the fishing rod and paddled slowly with the oar in his hand.

After searching for several days, he found a water area with many soul fish.

"There are actually seven soul fish down there?"

"Five ones from ten years and two from one hundred years?"

A ten-year-old soul fish can add ten years to its lifespan, and a hundred-year-old soul fish can add one hundred years to its lifespan.

The effect is only ten times different, but the value is ten thousand times different!

Although the use of the soul fish will not produce resistance, and continuous use can continue to increase the life span, but after using the soul fish, the soul will be infected by the soul power contained in the soul fish.

This infection is similar to the Abomination, but to a much lesser degree.

After each use of the Soul Fish, it is best to wait for a period of time before using the next one. The waiting time is at least the year of the Soul Fish.

In other words, only one soul fish can be used every ten years. Thousand-year-old soul fish can only be used once every thousand years. As for the ten-thousand-year-old soul fish, only one can be used every ten thousand years.

"I wonder if the soul fish is easy to take the bait?"

Roja held the fishing rod in his hand and injected life into the fishing rod. The thin translucent fishing line hung from the top of the fishing rod and went deep into the water of the Styx. The fishhook finally stopped in front of a soul fish that was playing with his partner.

"Bite! Bite! Bite!..."

"Take the bait? Hurry up! Please, brother..."

Under Roja's constant prayers, the soul fish came closer to the fishhook and circled curiously around the fishhook. Just when Roja thought it was about to bite the hook, it ended up flicking its tail and leaving.

Seeing this scene, Roja almost had a brain hemorrhage.

He really wanted to hold a harpoon in his hand and strike up the soul harpoon that was playing with his emotions.

"Uh uh..."

"Even if you turn on the perspective, will you still be unable to catch the fish?"

"No rush, take your time."

Others can only rely on luck when fishing for soul fish. Those who are unlucky will not be able to catch one for hundreds of years. His ability to use perspective to fish in areas where there are many soul fish is already a long way ahead of others.

What else is there to be angry about?

“Then it’s time to look at fishing techniques!”

With Roya's patient waiting.

More than half a month passed before the first soul fish finally bit the hook.

"coming!"

Roja's hand holding the fishing rod tightened slightly.

The moment the soul fish bit the hook, he felt that the loss of vitality in his body suddenly accelerated.

"Do you still have a big appetite?"

"If you bite the hook when you are exhausted, you may not catch the soul fish, but you will lose all your opportunities and die."

Roja reeled in the line leisurely.

It took him most of a day to finally get the soul fish out of the water.

"call--"

The soul fish, which was in the shape of a fish a second ago, immediately transformed into a translucent egg as soon as it left the water. In the center of the translucent egg, which was like a glass ball, you could see a small fish sleeping inside. Son.

Roja held the finger-sized glass ball in his hand and looked at the sleeping soul fish inside, laughing. "I got the first soul fish."

Although he was only a ten-year soul fish of the lowest level, he was still very happy.

It would take others tens or hundreds of years to get one, but he got one in half a month. What else could he be dissatisfied with?

After putting the soul fish into the space ring, he continued fishing.

Two months flew by.

He caught five soul fish in two months, one of which was a hundred-year-old soul fish.

Who can match this speed of fishing for soul fish?

"The market price of a ten-year-old soul fish is one hundred attribute crystals. A hundred-year-old soul fish is worth 10,000 times that of a ten-year-old soul fish."

"Ten thousand non-attribute divine crystals can be exchanged for one attribute divine crystal. I have four ten-year-old soul fish and one hundred-year-old soul fish. The total value is about one million and four hundred attribute divine crystals?"

"Two months ago, I was a poor man without even a single divine crystal. Unexpectedly, only two months have passed. Among the many third-level and fourth-level wizards, I am already considered a rich man."

"River of Styx? Soul fish?"

"This is simply my treasury!"

However, Luo Ya still knows the simple principle of keeping wealth secret. If others know that he can easily catch so many soul fish, his end may be quite miserable.

This matter must not be known until he has enough power to protect himself from a seventh-level wizard.

"My magic and mental strength have been almost exhausted. It's time to go back."

He has 400 billion units of magic power and only 5.3 billion units of mental power. However, because his mental power can be restored with the help of the Two Souls Certificate, the magic power finally bottoms out before his mental power.

"Two months of fishing at a time is almost enough. If it's too long, it might make people suspicious."

He put away his fishing rod.

"call--"

Light the oil lamp located in the bow of the ship.

He rowed the oar under the guidance of the light of the oil lamp.

Not sure how much time had passed, he drove the boat into a thick fog. When the fog dissipated, he returned to Port No. 1001 where he started.

…

Return to the entrance to the Soul Port.

Next to the crowded gate, Roja saw two familiar figures waiting for him.

Who else could it be besides Leo and Bellica?

Leobelica, who seemed to have lost all her magic and mental power, immediately trotted closer to Roja as soon as they saw her.

"How about it?"

"Did you catch the soul fish?"

Looking at Roja who shook his head slightly, Leobelica sighed in frustration.

They thought that Roja was so much better than them, and the probability of catching a soul fish must be much higher than them... Was he just a third-level wizard after all? Roja is very strong, but fishing for soul fish in the Styx River does not only require strong strength.

Being strong or not is one thing, but luck is more important!

Roja is very strong, has a lot of magic and mental power, and can fish for two months at a stretch.

They are weaker and don't have much magic and mental power. They have to return after fishing for a few days. In two months, they have made seven fishing trips.

Every time they come back, they are physically and mentally exhausted, and their magic and spiritual power have bottomed out. They need to go to the Life Spring Tower to restore their magic and spiritual power.

The two of them came down several times, and the divine crystals they carried were almost used.

When Roja came back this time, his magic and spiritual power were at their lowest, and he needed to go to the Spring of Life to recover...

They don't have that many divine crystals at all!

"Magic and spiritual power cannot be restored by conventional methods. The vitality spring can restore the state and the price is so expensive... Why did we come to this ghost place!" Leo's shoulders were drooped feebly.

"Hey, is this the difficulty of level 50? Is it possible for us to catch twenty soul fish? Maybe we should give up fishing for soul fish? After a hundred years, maybe the Endless Tower will teleport us back?" Belle Ka has given up fishing for soul fish.

The three of them have reached a desperate situation!

With the strength and financial resources of the three of them, relying on themselves, there is no possibility of leaving this place!

Roja can understand that Leo and Bellica would think this way.

If it weren't for the fact that he had the proof of two souls, he might have been as desperate as the two of them.

"Although the probability of catching a soul fish is relatively small, you can still catch it as long as you work hard."

"At worst, if we stay here for hundreds of thousands of years, won't we be able to catch enough soul fish before the end of our lifespan as third-level wizards?"

"We have plenty of time, the only problem is..."

"God crystal?"

On the banks of the River Styx, the consumed magic and mental power cannot be restored through conventional methods, and drinking potions is of no use.

If you want to recover the lost magic and spiritual power, you can only go to the Life Spring Tower.

But the price of the Vitality Spring Tower is not that expensive!

It’s just a money grab!

They don't carry that many divine crystals with them, and now...

"Li Ti, are you there?" Roja shouted softly to no one.

"Deng Deng Deng, your good friend Liti is here at your call!" Liti, who looked like a playful girl wearing revealing clothes, appeared from the shadows and came to them while making a strange sound. .

"Long time no see." Roya greeted.

"Hey, we haven't seen each other for two months. Do you miss me?" Liti said with a smile as she circled around Luo Ya.

"We want to borrow some divine crystals from you." Roja said directly.

"Haha, no problem, you can have as many as you want, but I have a good suggestion for those of you who are anxious to leave." Liti glanced around, "Let's find a place where we can talk more conveniently."

Faced with Li Ti's proposal, Luo Ya and others thought about it and nodded in agreement.

They thought Li Ti would take them to some mysterious and dangerous place, but the result surprised them.

Under the leadership of Li Ti, they actually came to a hotel?

Liti introduced to the surprised Roja and others:

“This restaurant is extraordinary.”

"Here in Black Abyss Witch City, since magic and spiritual power cannot be restored through conventional methods, food naturally cannot provide nutrition."

"Since food cannot provide nutrition, we can only taste it purely."

"Since it's just about tasting the taste, even if the ingredients are fake, as long as the texture and taste are the same, it doesn't matter, right?"

"All the food here is made using illusion magic!"

"Although it is an illusion, it perfectly replicates the taste and texture of all the ingredients, even the flesh and blood of the true god, right?"

"And it's free?"

“You can eat unlimited delicious food!”

The four of them sat down in the private room and randomly ordered a lot of dishes.

Although it was created by illusion, the texture and taste taste just like the real thing.

And all the meals are free, so you won’t feel full after eating them...

Since it is free and you are not afraid of bursting your stomach, you can eat unlimitedly.

At first, they enjoyed eating it.

They went crazy and ordered many dishes they had never heard of before.

"Wow, does the true god's flesh and blood taste like this after being cooked?"

"It even has charcoal-grilled angel wings? With this texture and taste, can it be said that it really fully restores the texture and taste of angel wings?"

"There are even dishes made using ingredients from the eighth-level ancestor?"

When they came here for the first time, they went crazy eating all kinds of delicacies they had never seen or tasted before. Even if they ate one kind in one second, there were so many dishes that they would never taste the same again in ten thousand years.

only……

Faced with these delicacies that cannot fill the stomach, the more you eat, the hungrier you feel, the hungrier you get, the more you eat, and then the more you eat, the hungrier you feel.

As I ate, I felt like I was going crazy. (End of chapter)
