Chapter 96-95- The End
After completing three grimoires, Yvette felt that she had worked too hard and was too diligent, so she decided to give herself a two-year vacation to rest, and put aside the compilation of the fourth grimoire with a very earthy name, "Grimoire of Earth".
But it would not be right to say that she was just taking a vacation, because theoretically, she was upgrading at full power every moment. Not only was her total magic power automatically increasing when she was awake, but she was also cultivating her mental strength while she was asleep.
With this kind of placement-based practice method, even if you are slacking off, it seems that you can feel justified.
Furthermore, in this apocalyptic world, she didn't have much pressure to survive, which led to a lack of motivation. If she weren't a teacher, she wouldn't want to put off studying important materials for too long. Writing just one magic book would have taken her five or six years.
…
that's all!
After Yvette decided to take a vacation, Dugrabi's life suddenly became much more comfortable.
Because the teacher will finally not conduct random checks every month on the student's recitation and mastery of the spell and rune groups as he did before.
In addition, with the acquisition of the three magic books, its combat power soared instantly. It now goes to the nearby mountains every few days to harass those elite mutants and nest masters above the third stage, enjoying the pleasure of coming and going like the wind and being hated by high-level demons, but being helpless against it.
However, such days only lasted for a month before I got tired of them. It was like playing Soul Land with a modifier. The fun was only for the first few moments, and the rest was dull and empty.
Moreover, the power brought by the magic book is ultimately external. Only when he truly masters those techniques and various combos can Dugrabi be truly worthy of his teacher's cultivation.
So, although the teacher didn't say anything, it decided to make it a regular routine and set aside four days a week to study hard, and the remaining three days were for entertainment.
——However, this plan will not be implemented until autumn, because the summer is too hot. Every day, there is sticky hot wind blowing in the face, and there is no air conditioning. It is difficult to arouse interest in studying no matter how you think about it.
…
In late August, following his teacher, Dugrabi began to study fishing.
It thought this was a very fun activity. The only drawback was that the teacher could at least catch some demons, but it couldn't even catch any. Every time it saw prey on the fishing rod, it would stick its head underwater and see that it was just some weird little garbage from the Origin Civilization.
Most of the time it is scrap metal, but there are occasional exceptions, such as silicone dolls that look like human corpses. I heard that they use some high-tech organic material from Lintui Biological Company, which can last for thousands of years without rotting and is as soft and tender as new. I don't know whether it's true or not.
Douglabi was very disappointed with the silicone doll, thinking it was useless, but the teacher was surprisingly impressed and praised it as a god. Douglabi guessed that "god" should be a compliment in the eyes of the gods, so he was very happy and felt that he had been recognized by the teacher in some aspects.
Later, in order to get continuous praise from the teacher, whenever it caught or picked up something strange, it would actively give it to the teacher as a gift. After a long time, the teacher didn't want to accept it anymore and warned it that if it gave it again, she would beat it, which made it sad for a long time.
Later, when September came and the temperature gradually dropped, it began its regular study life according to its original plan.
Of course, it wasn't a very perseverant dragon; on the contrary, it was quite playful. It was only when the teacher told the story of the senior sister that I realized she was a hardworking and dedicated student with an extraordinary passion for mage practice. She could study for days and nights without distraction, and even the teacher was deeply impressed by her.
This gave it a great stimulus. As the future Legendary Dragon King and the current second disciple of the Silver Witch, it felt that even if it wasn't as good as its senior sister, it couldn't be too far behind, right? Otherwise, wouldn't it immediately disgrace both its teacher and senior sister?
Driven by this motivation, it can occasionally overcome its playfulness and laziness and enter a state of diligence and hard work, but after persisting for a few days, it will quickly burn out and degenerate, until a few days later, it will awaken again and start working hard again... thus forming a cycle that is almost connected from beginning to end.
…
It was June or July again, a sunny afternoon with a cloudless sky.
Soaking in a "bathing beach", Dugraby leisurely slapped the water surface with his tail and blew bubbles in the water.
This is a shallow area in the flooded city, located on a higher street. The old decorative statues on both sides stand like reefs covered with barnacles. Vines with small yellow flowers emerge from the holes in the brick walls of the shops. The petals blown down by the wind fall on the river surface, attracting a few small fish to chase and peck at them.
This place wasn't safe. The closer one got to the base of the "water tower," the higher the chance of being attacked by the aberrations in the water. Therefore, whenever he cooled down in these "cold water baths," his three grimoires would linger in light, hovering steadily above street corners and other locations. If aberration approached, he would preemptively attack and eliminate them on the spot.
The hot summer is a good excuse for people to not study hard. Every time this happens, he would envy Abella a little, because she could hide in the teacher's car and turn on the air conditioner to escape the heat.
Although it's not like dragons don't have the opportunity to transform into humans, they have to become dragon kings first and unlock specific dragon language magic. And to become a dragon king, they have to return to the Dragon Kingdom and participate in the Dragon King Trial... Therefore, during the days in the Land of the End, it is impossible for it to have the opportunity to let the teacher see its human form.
But it doesn’t matter, it thought, in the future it will definitely be able to become the Dragon King, and will definitely be able to create a legend, and then show off its achievements to the teacher.
By that time, it would probably become the new strongest person in the human world, just like the senior sister that it had never met, right?
It was lost in thought for a while, and felt the sky suddenly darken, but it didn't pay much attention to it until it heard the exclamations of the people of the Water Tower Country not far away. Then it lazily raised its head and looked at the sky.
Then it saw a gorgeous aurora that it had been looking forward to for countless years, suddenly crossing the sky, even the scorching sun of midsummer was obscured behind it, as if it had entered a mysterious and dark night.
…
At the highest point of Water Tower Country, on the top floor of an abandoned hotel building, Yvette also stood here, staring at the aurora in the sky with an expressionless face, and the weird feeling in her heart became more and more obvious.
She had only seen the aurora twice, both times in the dark, which almost made her develop a fixed mindset that the aurora only appeared at night.
Of course this is not surprising. The sun is so strong during the day and it is summer, so how can we have the chance to see the aurora?
But it appeared, so suddenly, and what was even more bizarre was that this aurora could even steal the limelight from the sun, like a translucent black curtain, covering everything in the world.
Then, before she could recover from the sudden aurora, she noticed various unusual noises coming from the submerged city. Looking down, she saw countless aquatic aberrations restlessly rushing toward the mountains, like a wriggling tide. Those directions were exactly where some of the surrounding mother nests were located.
Is this... the call of the mother nest?
But why would the hive suddenly summon these low-level aberrations?
Thinking of this, suddenly, a word that had been silent for a long time surged out of Yvette's mind.
——The end of the day.
If her guess was correct, then this was the moment when the Witch of the End began to invade and destroy the Glowing Continent!
