This is it.

Looking at the luxurious hotel in front of him, the man raised his head and a gloomy red light flashed in his eyes.

"Finally found the True Ancestor's princess."

The man muttered to himself, with no expression on his face.

As a magician who once belonged to the Wandering Sea, Nero Chaos no longer expressed his emotions... No, ever since the day he gave up his human body and became a Dead Apostle, emotions were just a burden to him.

The reason why we came to this Far East this time was because of the order given by Lord Bai Yi, who is also one of the twenty-seven ancestors.

The princess who destroyed the True Ancestor.

Of course, Nero was also very clear about the reasons behind this.

The twenty-seventh ancestor of the dead disciples.

The pinnacle existence of the blood-sucking species that reigns over this world, among the twenty-seven ancestors, there is a nominal ruler and a real ruler.

The ninth of the twenty-seven ancestors is the Black Princess - Altluchi Brunstad.

And the White-Winged Prince, who ranks seventeenth among the twenty-seven ancestors—Tefanm Ottenluoche.

The reason for the conflict between the two sides is very simple. In the early days, Alteluci and Alquette were the first vampires created by Zhu Yue as the heirs. In simple terms, if Zhu Yue is the king of all vampires, then Alteluci and Alquette are the princesses of all vampires. In terms of bloodline, their status is supreme.

However, not every Dead Apostle is willing to accept this.

For example, the White Winged Prince - Tefanm Ottenlocher.

Unlike other Dead Apostles who were given blood and turned into vampires, White Winged Prince Tefam was originally a magician, but later he voluntarily turned into a vampire through a certain ritual. Therefore, he has always been quite dissatisfied with the eldest princess, Alterochi, who nominally controls and rules all vampires. Alterochi also has no good feelings towards this magician who became a vampire through "smuggling" instead of "normal channels".

To put it bluntly, this is just another manifestation of the struggle for power among the vampires.

Neither side could do anything to the other. Although Artluci had the status of the eldest princess in name, Tefanmu was very popular among the twenty-seven ancestors. It was like the regent and the minister who controlled the military power. The former controlled the power, and the latter controlled the army. They were both worried about each other, but they could do nothing about it.

Also one of the twenty-seven ancestors, the tenth "Chaos" Nero Chaos is a subordinate of the White Winged Lord. His purpose of coming to the Far East this time is to kill Elquet Brunstad.

Although Elquet was not a member of Altluki's faction, her importance to the White Winged Prince was no less than that of Altluki - in fact, even more so.

After all, Artluqi's status could only remain as that of the eldest princess. As Zhu Yue's successor, she herself was a flawed failure, so she had no right of inheritance.

But Elquet is different, she is the perfect heir, which means that sooner or later, she will inherit Zhu Yue's position and become the true king of vampires.

The important thing is that Altluchi is always surrounded by guards. Apart from anything else, the primate killer ranked first among the twenty-seven ancestors is troublesome enough, not to mention the black knight Stuart and the white knight Brad.

And since Elquet was always alone, it was easier for him to take action.

Although it was discovered that she had teamed up with two magicians, they were just two little ghosts and were not a big deal at all.

So when Nero came to the hotel, he was very calm.

When he walked into the hotel lobby and saw the girl in front of him, he was still very calm.

It was not until the cold wind blew in his face that his expression finally changed.

"This is... an inherent barrier?!"

The luxurious hotel just now completely disappeared, replaced by a wilderness of ice. The biting cold wind whistled past, and the cold white snow covered the entire land. Even Tono Akiha, who was hiding behind the red ponytail, couldn't help but shrink his body at this time.

"Although to be honest, I have no interest in the mess between you vampires, but what you are about to do is beyond my bottom line."

Fang Zheng raised Frostmourne in his hand and looked at the man in front of him. Through the future vision, she had seen that the vampire in front of her would attack Elquet. However, it would not just be a fight, he would release the beast sealed in his body and devour everyone in the hotel.

Of course, this is just speculation at the moment. After all, Nero is now imprisoned in the Fengjue by Fang Zheng and will definitely not have the chance to eat humans again. But what does it matter?

What did your teacher say?

The so-called prophecy mage knows you are going to hit me, so I hit back first!

"Warriors of the Frost Wastes, rise up!"

Along with an angry roar, the next moment, hundreds and thousands of undead spirits suddenly appeared on the empty ice field. The flames of their souls were burning in their empty eye sockets. They held weapons and shields in their hands. They returned to this world from thousands of years of snow and ice.

"Oh? This is..."

Seeing this, Nero's eyes finally changed.

"Interesting, I thought you were just an ordinary magician, but I didn't expect you to have such tricks."

"This method is enough to deal with you."

Fang Zheng suddenly waved the Frostmourne in his hand.

"The dead should behave like dead people. It is the right thing to do to lie down and wait for death."

"Really?"

Looking at the red ponytail girl in front of him, Nero narrowed his eyes, then he suddenly lifted up his coat.

"Then I'll show you my power!"

“——!!!”

Along with Nero's voice, dozens of huge animals suddenly appeared from his dark body under his coat, including deer, crocodiles, bears and even giants like Tyrannosaurus Rex. They all had one thing in common, that is, black bodies and bright red eyes. As soon as these monsters, which were big enough to play the leading roles in American monster movies, appeared, they rushed towards the undead army in front like wild horses.

This scene was shocking enough, but for Fang Zheng...

"Hey, Qiuye, do you think that guy is perverted?"

Qiu Ye was tense and about to face the battlefield when she felt Fang Zheng pulling her clothes. When she lowered her head, she saw Fang Zheng asking her with a weird smile.

"Eh? Pervert?"

"Yeah, you see, that guy is wearing nothing but his coat, and his body is solidified. In other words, when he faced the two girls just now, he just lifted up his coat and exposed himself! This is a complete exhibitionist!"

"Well……"

Qiu Ye hadn't thought much about it at first, but when Fang Zheng said this, she was stunned for a moment, and then a slight blush appeared on her fair face.

Although the body under Nero Chaos' coat was just a "thing" that looked like it was made of black plasticine and did not have any real special organs, after realizing this, Qiu Ye still felt that the man in front of him was a little... unbearable to look directly at.

“Hehehe.”

Looking at Qiu Ye's wandering eyes and blushing face, Fang Zheng chuckled, then reached out and patted her shoulder.

"Okay, enough joking, it's time for you to take action."

"Hey? You want me to...?"

"Of course I don't want you to deal with that Dead Apostle. I'll be watching over him, but as a spellcaster, you must also learn how to use your skills in battle. As it happens, I'll give you that guy's bird, so cut it up."

"bird?"

Hearing this, Qiu Ye raised his head and looked ahead. On the battlefield in front of him, the army of undead summoned by Red Ponytail and the animals summoned by the other side were fighting each other. In the sky, a black shadow was getting bigger and bigger. It was...

"eagle?"

Yes, from the outside, it looked like an eagle, but its size was much larger than that of an ordinary eagle, and it could even be said to be about the same size as an ancient pterodactyl. At this moment, the eagle hovering in the air had obviously discovered the presence of Tono Akiha, and it let out a long cry and rushed towards her.

“Wow!!”

Faced with the sudden attack, Qiu Ye screamed in fear and turned around to look around, only to find that the red ponytail who was standing beside her had disappeared without a trace. Only one sentence was left in her ear.

"Any mage must learn to face and deal with all kinds of difficult and harsh situations. Come on, I believe in you. You'll be fine. Just treat it as a test and work hard."

"Why?!!!"

When Qiu Ye heard the message from Red Ponytail, she screamed.

I have to say that this is indeed a very difficult thing for her.

But unfortunately, Qiu Ye didn't have the chance to think more because the whistling wind had already reached her head.

Almost instinctively, Qiu Ye moved her fingers quickly, and a series of magic runes appeared on her fingertips. Just as the eagle's claws were about to pierce her body, Qiu Ye's body suddenly disappeared, and then quickly appeared five or six meters away from the origin.

“Haaaah…haaah…”

Although the Black Hawk's attack missed, it quickly circled upwards, intending to attack the target again. Qiu Ye stared at the black shadow and then recited the spell again - this time, her body disappeared silently in the wind and snow.

“……???”

Looking at Qiu Ye who suddenly disappeared, Black Hawk tilted his head, as if he didn't know what was going on. Logically speaking, ordinary invisibility has no effect on Black Hawk, who is a vampire. It can find enemies through body temperature, blood flow and heartbeat. But just now, when Qiu Ye disappeared, her body temperature, heartbeat, breathing, everything disappeared.

It was as if she had never existed.

“Hoo…Hoo…”

Qiu Ye clenched his hands, staring at the black eagle circling in the sky, and quickly thought about how to deal with the enemy. Although he successfully avoided the opponent's attack by using invisibility, the enemy obviously had no intention of letting him go. Although he could take the opportunity to escape, but...

This is the homework Miss Xiaohong left for me.

Thinking of this, Qiu Ye also clenched her hands. She was not an ordinary girl. Since she was a child, the blood of the Tono family had made her know that she was different. As one of the four major families of exorcism, the power of the Tono family was destined to make her face the battle.

If she didn't know this, why would she choose to become Teacher Fiore's student?

but……

There are indeed very few low-level illusion spells that can be used for attack.

Qiuye thought carefully for a moment, but still couldn't find any spells that could be used to deal with the current situation. Most of the spells of the illusion system are used to deceive and conceal, and there are very few spells that attack directly. If Miss Kurogiri or Miss Asagami were here, they might be able to find the answer easily.

But myself...

If I don't use "that"... no, even if I use it, I'm afraid there won't be any good ending. Since Miss Xiaohong said this is an exam, then not using magic but using "that" should be equivalent to cheating.

So……

No matter what the circumstances, spellcasters must make use of the spells they have learned as much as possible. There are no useless spells, only useless wizards... This is what Teacher Fiore taught us.

Qiu Ye thought about one condition after another, and then her eyes lit up.

Just try it.

Thinking of this, Qiu Ye snapped her fingers, and the next moment, her figure appeared again in the snowfield.

“——!!”

Having found its prey, the huge black falcon swooped down again, this time rushing towards her at almost the speed of an arrow, as if to prevent her from escaping. Looking at the black shadow rushing towards her, Qiu Ye took a deep breath, and then her hands quickly and briskly jumped in the air.

Then, just as the falcon rushed in front of Qiu Ye, a shadow broke out.

The shadow under Qiu Ye began to shake like a flame, and then quickly turned into dozens of tentacles, tightly binding the falcon's body. The falcon did not seem to expect this, and it struggled desperately, but the next moment...

"hiss--!"

The original eagle head suddenly turned into a poisonous snake. It flew up, opened its mouth and bit Qiu Ye in front of it.

Qiu Ye could no longer hide at this moment. She could only watch the poisonous snake come in front of her and then... pass through her head.

“HAHAHAHAHA!!”

At this moment, suddenly, accompanied by a sudden shout, the black falcon's body trembled violently, and then its head that had turned into a poisonous snake was suddenly split into two and fell to the ground.

“Haaaah…haaah…”

It was not until this moment that the figure of Qiu Ye, who was panting heavily, slowly emerged in the air beside him. In contrast, the Qiu Ye who was attacked by the poisonous snake just now disappeared into the air like a bubble.

"Finally, it succeeded."

Putting down the blade condensed by the black shadow in her hand, Qiu Ye let out a long breath. This was also what she had thought of before. First, she used invisibility to hide herself, then created a secondary phantom to attract the opponent's attention, and then used shadow binding to capture the enemy, and summoned the ghost weapon while the opponent was in time to defeat the enemy.

So far, it seems to be quite successful.

"call……!"

After letting out another long breath, Qiu Ye slowly sat down on the ground.

This time... I should have passed the exam...
