Chapter 256 Succubus Landis 4
The fall of the gods and the waning of magic have been the predicament that the continent of Azeroth has faced for thousands of years.
Just when all the races were filled with fear and unease, magical elements suddenly began to surge, and secret realms that had been closed for many years opened one after another, with all kinds of rare and precious materials appearing out of nowhere. This was both an opportunity and a calamity.
Various races were gathering strength and vying for territory. News spread from an unknown source that this era could produce gods, plunging the long-peaceful continent into utter turmoil. Dragons rose from the deep valleys, necromancers led their skeleton armies out of forbidden lands, and even the long-dormant demons forcefully burst from the earth into everyone's sight, announcing their return.
In this era of great strife, war and smoke filled the air.
Just then, a creature called the "Nightmare Beast" suddenly appeared on the continent. Born from death and fear, it could transform into the appearance of various races, silently taking lives, invisible and extremely difficult to deal with. Apart from mental magic, other attacks were unlikely to harm its true form.
Therefore, not long after the "Nightmare Beast" was born, it quickly caused huge casualties among various races.
Therefore, whether or not they become gods can be put aside. Faced with the crisis of annihilation, the various races, who were fighting fiercely, have no choice but to unite and deal with the invasion of the "Nightmare Beasts" together.
Starlight Magic Academy, with the presence of the Archmage Landis, a master of mental magic, became a major safe haven for the Resistance Alliance.
Everyone who enters the academy must pass through a mental barrier set up by Landis to determine whether they are still the same person or have been replaced by the "Nightmare Beast".
Of course, through everyone's dedicated research and with the blessing of the "Chosen One," people discovered attack methods other than mental magic. Thus, led by Princess Olivia, the leader of the Free Alliance Arreat, and the elven ruler Hill, the various races launched a counterattack against the "Nightmare Beast."
"Landis, wait for me to come back. Let's admire the flowers together. The purple irises planted in the palace are about to bloom."
Olivia changed out of her gorgeous dress and into a light mage's robe. The princess, who was always dignified and cold to outsiders, looked at Landis with a smile in her eyes.
“Okay,” Landis nodded, handing her the staff himself. “I’ll wait for you to come back.”
Olivia smiled, ignoring the remaining two, and only glanced at Landis one last time before turning and heading to the battlefield.
“Landis…” After Olivia left, Arreat stood up somewhat awkwardly. This leader of the Freedom Alliance, who was always generous and easygoing and unconventional in the eyes of outsiders, looked at Landis with pitiful eyes, like a big dog trying to please him.
"What's wrong, Aret?" Landis looked at him with a smile, completely ignoring the increasingly loud sighs around him.
“I said…” Arreat mustered his courage and looked up to meet Landis’s gaze, as if trying to etch his image into his mind, “When I come back, call me Arreat.”
After saying that, he picked up his greatsword and hurriedly ran out, afraid that Landis would see his face, which was as red as a monkey's bottom.
"Really..." Landis couldn't help but chuckle, a helpless indulgence towards Arreat's behavior. He ignored the increasingly mournful sighs around him, turning to look at the silent Sil beside him. "So, Sil, do you also have something to say to me?"
“Landis…” Syl straightened up, his voice gentle and tender, like a lover’s murmur, but the look in his eyes as he looked up at Landis was complicated, “You know everything, don’t you?”
"What?" Landis maintained his smile.
“This war…” Syl looked at the exceptionally bright sunlight outside, his voice ethereal, “We will win, even if it comes at a great cost…”
With her heavy tone subsiding, Syl turned back to Landis, a relieved smile spreading across her face. "I actually knew a long time ago... Landis, you're not a half-succubus, are you? You're a pure succubus, the leader behind the rise of the demon race..."
Landis raised an eyebrow slightly, not denying it, "I thought you wouldn't tell?"
Syl suddenly realized that Landis already knew he had discovered it. He couldn't help but laugh. His features were bright and charming, befitting his elven bloodline.
“I used to think I would never say it, but accidents always happen so suddenly,” Syl said, looking deeply at Landis’s smiling face. “Because I was afraid I wouldn’t come back, I always had to say what I wanted to say. That’s how I was, and those two guys were too.”
"So, if it's me who comes back, this free-spirited, homeless half-elf, can you take me back to the Demon Realm?"
Syl asked earnestly, her previously suppressed feelings now revealed through her violet eyes.
"I'll wait for you to come back alive."
Landis didn't give a clear answer, but he didn't refuse either. Syl smiled, gave Landis one last look, then turned and strode out.
The empty room was now empty except for Landis. He seemed to be talking to himself, or perhaps questioning, "Stop sighing. Instead of wasting time, go and watch over them. You're not really going to push your chosen one to his death, are you?"
As soon as Landis finished speaking, the sigh in his ear disappeared, as if it had never happened. This self-deceptive behavior made Landis laugh in anger.
"Tsk"
Why is the treatment of the chosen one getting worse with each generation? With such abundant fortune, the first chosen one at least became a god-king, but this generation has to use their lives to fill the gap and promote the world's upgrade?
Landis couldn't quite describe his feelings, but he was definitely annoyed. Just as he was about to lash out, he suddenly sensed a strange person walking through the mental barrier he had set up.
"Headmaster, the princess's maidservant requests an audience."
"Let her in."
"Ailu has met with the headmaster. The princess left some things for the headmaster and asked me to bring them over."
(Ahhh, System, this is the Succubus Dean! He's so handsome, I love him so much, can I try to seduce him?)
Landis raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at the maid in front of him whose soul had clearly changed, and was having an inexplicable conversation with something in his mind.
A strange electronic voice rang out, sounding somewhat exasperated.
(Ugh, I've said it so many times, I'm a legitimate system, not some kind of strategy guide system!)
Following the power revealed by the so-called "system" in its moment of exasperation, Landis's mental energy swiftly and accurately invaded it, discovering a small ball of light attached to a strange soul.
With a slight smile at the maidservant in front of him who was swooning over him, Landis acted without hesitation, swiftly and decisively stripping her of this "little system" from her soul.
During the search, Landis discovered that this "system" actually possessed the ability to travel through time and space. He raised an eyebrow in surprise, glanced into the void, and smiled knowingly: "You deliberately sent this system to me, didn't you? Trying to get rid of me? Tsk, I'll grant your wish. Considering you've given me so much fun, I'll give you a big gift!"
Ignoring the sharp explosions in his ears, Landis poured all the physical power born from the world consciousness of this spacetime into the three people fighting on the battlefield a second before his soul passed through the spacetime barrier.
The body, formed from the very essence of the world, possesses immense power. This power, when channeled back to the Chosen One, also nourishes the world, aiding him in his evolution. This avoids gambles on an uncertain outcome by sacrificing the Chosen One.
And the world is well aware of this.
Considering his "old father's" past indulgence, Landis decided to do a good deed.
On the battlefield, just as the three were prepared to sacrifice themselves to deal with the dying Nightmare Beast King, a huge white light suddenly burst forth from their bodies, instantly wiping out all the Nightmare Beasts on the battlefield.
The three seriously injured people were miraculously restored, but for some reason, they were in tears and felt empty inside.
"Landis..."
According to continental history, the Dark Ages ended with the arrival of four legendary guardians—
Olivia, the first female emperor in history, was an ice mage who dedicated her life to maintaining peace on the continent. She remained unmarried throughout her life and established diplomatic relations with many races during her reign, including the demon race, which was a taboo subject at the time.
At, the leader of the Free Alliance, was a genius skilled in both magic and martial arts. After the final battle, he taught at the Starlight Magic Academy and never left there for the rest of his life, remaining unmarried.
The uncrowned king of the elves, Sir, a great mage of nature, disappeared from everyone's sight after the final battle, his whereabouts unknown. It is said that some people later saw him in the demons' territory.
Landis, the forty-fifth headmaster of Starlight Magic Academy, was a mysterious mental mage and the last mage on the continent to reach the level of a mage master. No one knew how he managed to do it from the rear. In the final battle, he sacrificed his life to eliminate all the Nightmare Beasts, bringing new hope to the continent.
