Rise of the Dark Witch

The long-awaited day of the baptism of the Holy Spirit has finally arrived.

Under the guidance of the elves, the group of people came to a room filled with space capsules.

Before the baptism of the Holy Spirit officially began, Oak, the elf in charge of the baptism of the Holy Spirit, stood at the front desk and explained the ideas of the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

"The baptism of the Holy Spirit essentially uses psychic technology to expand and transform your magic output channels. It will not have any negative impact on your body and bloodline itself..."

"You should relax during the baptism process and do not offer any resistance. If you feel uncomfortable and do not want to continue, you can send us a message with your mind and we will stop the baptism for you..."

"If your body is damaged due to our fault, we will not only find a way to restore your body to its original state, but also compensate you thousands of times..."

"But if the baptism fails because you did not listen to the advice and acted without authorization, you will bear all the consequences yourself..."

Everyone present was already aware of the precautions regarding the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

After all, the baptism of the Holy Spirit is not a secret ritual that no one knows about in the wizarding world. Anyone with a certain background in means can investigate the relevant details clearly.

However, just in case, the elf in charge, Oak, carefully explained the precautions to those present.

The people waiting for the baptism of the Holy Spirit listened to the elf Oak's speech while observing other people who were undergoing the baptism of the Holy Spirit this time.

There were a total of fifteen "people" present.

Among these fifteen "people", there are seven wizards, four orcs, three dwarves, and one tree spirit.

Among the seven wizards, there are three dark wizards.

In addition to Roja and Aita, the third dark wizard is a handsome young man who looks like he is in his early 14s or early 15s, has short silver hair, and looks like a prince from a fairy tale.

Whether it was Roja, Aita or the young man himself, they all showed surprised expressions after seeing the other party's appearance.

Because that young man turned out to be their partner guarding the void in the ninth trial—Nan En!

One hundred and fifty years have passed since the Void Guarding Trial, and they have not contacted each other during this period.

Unexpectedly, they would meet again in Guangmingling City, the capital of elves.

Since the elves would not disclose the information of the passengers, Roya and Aita had stayed in the room these days and never left the house, so the three of them had never met each other.

It wasn't until the day of the Holy Spirit baptism ceremony that they knew the other party was actually here.

As partners who have fought side by side in the Void Guards for ten years, they still have a little bit of affection. If they had known that the other party was here earlier, they would definitely have a good time reminiscing.

The three of them communicated with their eyes, and after silently making an agreement to come out to catch up with each other after the Holy Spirit Baptism, they once again focused on the Holy Spirit Baptism.

Not long after.

Elf Oak's speech came to an end.

"Pah, pah, pah..."

I saw Elf Oak clapping his hands gently while talking.

The space capsule-like facilities in the room opened the hatches with a click, revealing a space filled with unknown liquid.

"Depending on your physique and bloodline, the baptism of the Holy Spirit will last from one to six months..." After saying the last part, Elf Oak waved his hand and said to the people present: "You can enter the baptism cabin. .”

As soon as Elf Oak finished speaking, someone immediately walked forward impatiently.

After taking a deep breath, Roja also walked towards a certain baptism cabin.

He entered the baptismal cabin, his body lay in the unknown liquid, and his whole body was soaked in the liquid.

Although it is a liquid, you can breathe freely and there is no discomfort when you open your eyes.

Kakaka——

The hatch above the line of sight slowly closed.

Roja's vision fell into darkness.

When the hatch was successfully closed, Roja felt that the liquid around him suddenly became hot. The heated liquid seemed to have life, turning into worms much smaller than cells and burrowing towards his body.

Trillions of "bugs" entered his body and visited every cell in his body.

These "bugs" that seemed to possess life and intelligence were like decoration workers, decorating and transforming his cells.

Roja felt bursts of tingling pain coming from every cell in his body.

This pain is not very great, it is similar to the feeling of ants climbing on the body.

It's just that it's very dense, and it keeps coming in waves. If someone with a little less willpower would go crazy, right?

"Will this torture last from one month to six months?"

"For ordinary people, it is a torture that is enough to drive people crazy. But as long as you are a formal wizard, you should be able to bear it without changing your expression."

Roja didn't care about the physical pain.

What he really cares about is——

"Because it's a third-level wizard, it just feels a little stinging. If it's a second-level wizard, maybe it's not a sting, but the direct death of the cells."

The baptism of the Holy Spirit can upgrade ordinary magic power into high-level magic power by transforming every cell in the body.

The quality of high-level magic is far higher than that of ordinary magic. With the same amount of the same attack, the power of high-level magic is ten times that of ordinary magic.

Upgrading ordinary magic power to high-level magic power is a huge improvement in strength for a wizard.

Roja, whose strength is at the top of the third level, may be truly invincible at the third level after completing the baptism of the Holy Spirit and obtaining high-level magic power.

In the past, when he faced strong players such as Fernanda, he was as arrogant as he was. He thought that the odds of winning were only 30 to 70, Fernanda was 3 to 7, and he was 7 to 7.

And after he possesses high-level magic power, the outcome is not decided by 37, but by 91!

Even a hundred to one!

But the success rate of Holy Spirit baptism is not 100%.

Since every cell in the body needs to be modified, a certain load will be placed on the cells. If the cells are not strong enough, it may lead to cell death or irreversible damage to the cells.

This kind of damage is not the damage that cells suffer during normal battles.

Normally, even if the body is completely destroyed, there are ways to recover without leaving any sequelae.

However, in the process of transforming cells, the baptism of the Holy Spirit will also have a weak impact on the spiritual space. After all, cells and the spirit are connected. Otherwise, how can the spirit control the cells?

This weak influence will not cause any problems to the spirit when the baptism of the Holy Spirit is successful. But once it fails, the damage to the cells will be fed back to the mental space through the link between the mental space and the cells. Every cell that is injured will leave a scar on the mental space.

These scars caused by cell feedback are very weak, but once the number increases, the impact will be huge.

The human body has trillions of cells.

If these trillions of cells are damaged, trillions of scars will appear in the mental space.

The wizard's path was cut off.

It can be said that once the baptism of the Holy Spirit fails, the whole person is useless.

However, the stronger the strength, the higher the success rate of Holy Spirit baptism.

The success rate for first-level wizards to participate in the baptism of the Holy Spirit is almost zero.

The success rate for Level 2 wizards to participate in the baptism of the Holy Spirit is only 30%.

Level 3 wizards can participate in Holy Spirit baptism with a success rate of 99%.

In the words of a fourth-level wizard...

Since the cell strength of level 4 wizards is too high, the difficulty of transformation will be greatly increased compared to levels 2 and 3, so the success rate will be reduced to about 10%.

It stands to reason that when performing Holy Spirit baptism at the third level, the success rate is infinitely close to 100%, and it is almost impossible to fail.

But it is only infinitely close to 100%, and there is still a possibility of failure, so you must not relax and be careless.

"Proof of Two Souls!"

He observed the changes in his body with the help of the Two Souls Witness.

During the baptism of the Holy Spirit, the wizard himself cannot make any movements. You cannot use magic, mobilize your spirit, or move your body. Any additional actions may affect the success rate of Holy Spirit baptism.

Therefore, people can only passively accept the transformation during the baptism of the Holy Spirit. They cannot even use their mental power to observe the process of the baptism of the Holy Spirit transforming the body. Success or failure all depends on luck.

But Roja has the proof of two souls.

He can clearly see every change in his body by using the evidence of his two souls, and he can even see clearly how the baptism of the Holy Spirit transforms his body.

“The baptism of the Holy Spirit is not as simple as modifying cells.”

"According to different people's different physiques, different cell numbers, different cell states, changes in cell lifespan, the order and plan of cell transformation are all different..."

"And this plan is constantly changing every moment..."

"Even if you know the principle of Holy Spirit baptism, it is still extremely difficult to implement it."

"Is this the power of psychic technology?"

"No wonder there are so many seventh-level wizards in the wizarding world who have been studying it for so many years. Only the white wizards used wizarding methods to barely reproduce the baptism of the Holy Spirit."

Roja sighed while observing.

…

Time passes day by day.

At the moment when the baptism of the Holy Spirit ended, Roja felt static electricity crawling all over his body, and his body and spirit became numb and numb.

When the numbing feeling disappears.

He felt as if his body weight had increased dozens of times, his muscles were swollen and painful as if filled with water, the blood flowing in his veins was as viscous as hot molten iron, and every cell in his body was as active as ever.

In order to control the weight of the body, the mental exertion has increased a lot.

Just breathing normally feels like I have been reading for a whole day, my brain is so tired.

Before he could carefully feel the changes in his body, the hatch opened with a click, and warm light shone in from above the opened hatch.

After spending several months in the darkness, his eyes stung under the sudden light.

He blinked.

After adapting to the change in light, I walked out of the baptismal cabin.

Oak, the elf in charge of this baptism of the Holy Spirit, was already waiting.

"Wizard Roja, congratulations on successfully completing the baptism of the Holy Spirit and obtaining high-level magic power." Elf Oak congratulated you.

"This is all thanks to the psychic technology of your elves..."

After Roja expressed his gratitude to the elves to Oak, he looked around and landed on the baptismal cabins that had stopped working.

"Am I the last?"

"Mr. Roja, your Holy Spirit baptism process took 143 days. The other fourteen people came out one step ahead of you."

The baptism of the Holy Spirit takes between one month and six months, and the time will vary according to different constitutions and bloodlines.

Roja guessed that the reason why he took 143 days, the longest time among the fifteen people present, was probably because he, as a plant-based wizard, had the largest number of cells and his magical power far exceeded the others, so the transformation process of Holy Spirit baptism was quite different. It's a bit longer than others.

"Everyone made it?"

"Yes."

He was slightly relieved to hear that both Aita and Nan En had successfully completed the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

The success rate of the third-level wizard's Holy Spirit Baptism is infinitely close to 100%. Success is a matter of course, and failure will be surprising.

"Wizard Roja, are you leaving immediately, or are you going to the rehabilitation training room we arranged for you to adapt to your body after the baptism of the Holy Spirit?" Elf Oak asked.

"Go to the rehabilitation training room." Roja replied without hesitation.

Under the leadership of Elf Oak, he entered a vast training room.

It was a boxy, empty room with nothing in it. This room covers an area of ​​tens of billions of square kilometers and can be used by third-level wizards to display their strength to their heart's content.

"Next, we will slowly unlock the law suppression on you so that you can display your original strength. Please pay attention."

"clear."

After Roja nodded to express his understanding.

Ever since Roja stepped into the City of Light, the power of law that had been affecting him, imprisoning his strength as a third-level wizard and turning him into an ordinary person, was disappearing little by little.

He felt that his power was constantly gushing out of his body like a spring.

The long-lost strength made Roja clenched his fists in excitement, "Can I finally get my strength back? These days of losing all my strength and becoming an ordinary person are really hard!"

One percent, two percent, three percent...

Ten percent, twenty percent, thirty percent...

As he continued to regain strength, his physical and mental discomfort became increasingly severe.

Before, he just felt that his body was swelling and painful as if water had been injected into it.

When his strength returned, he felt that the magic power in his body was constantly boiling, and he was like a pressure cooker on the verge of exploding.

"Is this high-level magic?" Roja marveled and feared, "It's powerful, but if it can't be controlled, won't the strength actually decrease?"

The elf on the side comforted:

"Don't worry, it's just that your body and mind haven't adapted yet because ordinary magic power was suddenly transformed into high-level magic power."

"After your body adapts, you will find that high-level magic is not only much more powerful than ordinary magic, but it is also easier to control."

"Next, we will assist you in adaptive training."

"It only takes three to ten years for you to fully master high-level magic."

Then, the elf taught Roja various tips that can speed up the body's adaptation process.

It's said to be a little trick, but it's actually similar to a technique.

Under the guidance of the elves, Roja was immersed in cultivation both physically and mentally.

Before I knew it, more than half a year had passed.

Compared with when he had just completed the baptism of the Holy Spirit, Roja no longer felt any discomfort in his body.

He has completely mastered advanced magic!

This process would take others three to ten years, but it only took him more than half a year!

"Snapped."

He snapped his fingers lightly.

The square, blank room he was in suddenly changed.

The green grassland spreads to the sky under your feet, and the sky turns into a blue sky with floating white clouds.

He tapped his toes lightly on the ground.

Whoosh——

His body suddenly left the ground and reached a height of thousands of miles in the sky.

Then he looked in a certain direction and flew out.

boom--

He kept accelerating and flying, burning red flames as his body rubbed against the air.

"Ten times the speed of sound, twenty times the speed of sound, thirty times the speed of sound..."

"One hundred times the speed of sound, two hundred times the speed of sound, three hundred times the speed of sound..."

His basic movement speed was only 150 times the speed of sound, but now his ultimate speed reached 600 times the speed of sound!

"The upgrade of magic power from ordinary magic power to high-level magic power can actually speed up the speed four times?"

"Just quadrupling my movement speed can increase my strength many times!"

Improving speed is much more difficult than increasing strength.

Sometimes even if the strength is doubled, the speed cannot be doubled.

"I thought it would be good if the speed could be doubled, but it is actually four times as much. It seems that I still underestimated the advanced magic power."

After a good experience of my own speed.

"Level 3 witchcraft - Spiritual Observation Flower!"

A blood-red flower bud emerged at his feet, with eighteen tentacles underneath the flower bud twisting like tentacles of life.

He stood in the center of the bud, surrounded by petals.

"go!"

He drove the Guanling Shenhua and flew out at high speed.

Under the influence of high-level magic power, not only his body's movement speed increased dramatically, but even the speed of the third-level witchcraft Spirit-Guarding God Flower increased several times.

From three hundred times the speed of sound to nine hundred times the speed of sound!

"Would you like to try Guanling Shenhua's bloodline talent World Star Tour?"

"Would you like to use Jenga of Time?"

After thinking about it, he temporarily gave up the idea of ​​testing World Starfish and Time Jenga.

World Sea Star Travel is an ability used for long-distance interstellar travel. It has slow acceleration, low consumption, and high upper limit. As long as enough acceleration time is given, the final speed of the third-level wizard can reach sub-light speed. After the fourth-level realm, it may be able to exceed the speed of light. .

However, it is only suitable for long-distance travel, chasing enemies and escaping, and is of little use in frontal combat.

Therefore, it is not too late to slowly test the ability of Jie Hai Xingyou when there is time.

As for the Jenga of Time...

"I've abused the Jenga of Time so much over the years that I'm almost three thousand years old."

"If it is not necessary, it is better to use the power of time sparingly."

The reason why he doesn't want to use the Jenga of Time is not only because he doesn't want to abuse the power of time, but also the more important reason is that the improvement of time witchcraft by high magic cannot be said to be zero, it can only be said to be approximately zero.

With the addition of high-level magic, the power of other witchcraft has skyrocketed, but Jenga of Time has not experienced any changes due to the high-level magic.

"It's not that easy to increase the power of the power of time and space!"

After shaking his head in disappointment, he pointed the palm of his right hand at the ground below.

"One hundred units."

A fist-sized ball of magic light shot out of his hand, landed on the ground and exploded.

Rumble——

The ground shook, and smoke and dust rose everywhere, turning into a huge mushroom cloud that condensed in the air.

He waved his hand and the dust immediately dispersed.

Looking at the deep pit with a diameter of more than ten kilometers that appeared on the ground, he smiled proudly.

"Does just one hundred units of magic have such power?"

"If you hit it, you can kill most of the second-level wizards instantly, right?"

"Continue to increase the magic power and see..."

Magic light balls continued to shoot towards the earth.

Rumble——

Rumble——

Violent explosions continued to sound, and the ground continued to shake.

When he used 10 million units of magic power to condense the magic light ball, which exploded on the ground, a huge pit with a diameter of several hundred kilometers appeared on the ground.

"One hundred billion units!"

Looking at the huge pit that could be called the ocean that appeared under his feet with the sound of the explosion, Roja did not stop.

"Two hundred billion units!"

"Three hundred billion units!"

"Four hundred billion units!"

He only has 400 billion units of magic power, but he has two divine core clones with the same magic power as himself, and he has forty-eight wooden soul armorers with twenty times the magic power of himself.

so--

"One trillion units!"

"Ten trillion units!"

"One hundred trillion units!..."

The final blow that had gathered almost all of his magic power fell.

The earth trembled and torn apart, and dust filled the sky covering tens of thousands of kilometers.

"Hahu——"

"Hahu——"

Roya gasped for air exhaustedly.

Even he felt physically and mentally exhausted after releasing so much magic power in one breath.

While adjusting his breathing, he lowered his head and looked down at the earth below.

There are countless deep pits scattered across the endless green prairie, the largest of which can even fill the moon! (End of chapter)
