Chapter 81, Chapter 17: The Magical Maid
After a thousand years of silence, the dark mages led by Liuguang have once again bared their sharp fangs.
Without any warning, the great battle unfolded with overwhelming force.
The temple elders mobilized quickly; with the exception of Elder Fina, every elder went to a battlefield.
Elder Fina, as an apothecary, was responsible for staying at the temple to expedite the concoction of potions and then sending them to the battlefield via magic arrays.
The wood-type mages that Yu Wanwan brought out were also taken away by the elders.
At first, those guarding the front lines didn't understand why the elders were bringing weak wood-type mages, who were only good at logistics, to the battlefield.
They witnessed firsthand how the wood-elemental mages, whom they considered incredibly weak and in need of careful protection, commanded various plants on the battlefield to create natural traps, outmaneuvering the enemy without even needing to get close.
The wood-type mages still didn't demonstrate any significant destructive power, but they continuously harassed the dark mages with traps created by their plants, providing them with an incredibly comfortable fighting environment.
Later, they saw these little magicians chatter with the plants for a while, and then they were able to recount the dark magician's plans.
After several real battles, they were surprised to find that the deployments described by the young mages were exactly the same as those of the dark mages!
This group of young wood-elemental mages, personally trained by Yu Wanwan, completely overturned their previous understanding of the wood element during this battle with the dark mage.
But that's not all. With each battle, their understanding of wood-type mages continues to be refreshed.
They arrived at the city where Ryūya was located as quickly as possible.
Eastern Front.
Ryuya stood on the altar made of bones, her black skirt billowing in the stench of the wind, revealing her long, slender legs.
Her once pristine face now appeared alluring against the backdrop of darkness.
The three people gazed at each other from afar, separated by a ground littered with bones.
Ryuya placed her index finger to her lips, licked it with a small tip of her tongue, and a strange red light flickered in her eyes.
"Since you've been so obedient and brought my dear priest's body here, I'll be kind enough to leave you with a complete corpse!"
Yu Wanwan narrowed her eyes, seemingly lost in thought.
Xu Qingzhou noticed her subtle change immediately and lowered his eyes slightly.
"What's wrong? Is something the problem?"
Yu Wanwan didn't look at him, but stared at Liu Ye below the city wall.
"Something's off about her."
Xu Qingzhou was taken aback and also looked towards Liu Ye.
She was surrounded by black energy, exuding an ominous and terrifying aura.
He was no different from any other dark magician; I really couldn't see anything wrong with him.
As Ryuya was being looked at by those eyes, even though she knew he wasn't her priest, her heart still trembled uncontrollably.
She stared at that familiar face with fascination, then suddenly raised her hand to retaliate.
Dark red runes crawled up her pale skin like living things.
It was at this moment that Xu Qingzhou's gaze sharpened.
"This is……"
"Evil energy."
A hint of doubt flashed in Xu Qingzhou's eyes.
"Evil energy?"
What is this?
There's none of it in the original owner's memories!
Yu Wanwan touched her chin.
"There don't seem to be any evil gods in this world yet, right?"
"..."
What exactly is an evil god?
Is that what he thinks?
She watched Ryūya's movements with great interest, showing no intention of interrupting him.
"That's interesting!"
"..."
It has the meaning of "deer"!
Could she say something he could understand?
What is an evil god?
If she won't tell me, he can just ask her himself!
Yu Wanwan gave him a somewhat disdainful look, but still reluctantly began to explain.
"Dark element, in the end, is just one type of element, no different from other elements."
Xu Qingzhou paused for a moment.
"But it's an ominous sign..."
"This is just its elemental manifestation, just like how light can bring hope and wood can bring vitality."
Since she had already said it, Yu Wanwan didn't have the habit of keeping half of it to herself.
"The reason why the dark element makes you feel uncomfortable is simply because light and darkness are inherently mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining."
It's no wonder he feels uncomfortable coming into contact with things that clash with his personality.
The essence of this magical world is composed of these different elements.
Whether it's the common elements, the rare light elements, or even the rejected dark elements, they are all indispensable to this world.
Yu Wanwan thought that the potential of this continent was not low, but their understanding and use of magic was very superficial, which was probably related to the fact that they had been suppressing dark magicians for thousands of years.
The absence of any one of these elements will cause global imbalance and bring immeasurable consequences.
So, it's a good thing that she unintentionally released Erebus.
Yu Wanwan glanced at the sky with a quiet gaze.
So, she was clearly doing a good deed, why did this damned Heavenly Dao have to punish her!
The clouds on the horizon suddenly trembled and quickly drifted away, without attracting anyone's attention.
Xu Qingzhou was not a native after all; all his magical concepts came from the original owner's memories.
As a magician who came to the profession later in life and enjoyed the fruits of others' labor, he readily accepted this premise.
"Then this evil energy?"
"Evil energy is not an element; its appearance will disrupt the current balance."
Xu Qingzhou seemed to understand but not quite, and Yu Wanwan sighed.
"In short, evil in this world is like a rat dropping."
"..."
I understand.
but……
How do you know so much?
Yu Wanwan raised her chin slightly and let out a soft hum.
"Of course! I know things you couldn't imagine in several lifetimes!"
"..."
Looking at her smug little face, Xu Qingzhou suddenly felt a little itchy and really wanted to pinch her cheek.
Thinking this way, he actually did it.
Suddenly pinched, Yu Wanwan's smile froze, and a series of question marks appeared in her eyes.
"What are you doing! Don't touch me!"
Xu Qingzhou coughed lightly, casually released his hand, and took a step to the side.
He turned his head away, his fingers hidden in his sleeve rubbing together, where the warmth of her cheek still lingered.
Below, Ryuya took in the intimate interaction between the two, her breathing unsteady, and with her red lips slightly parted, she uttered an obscure and difficult-to-understand incantation.
The earth began to tremble, and countless cracks gave rise to skeletons and shadows shrouded in black mist.
They twisted and screech as they crawled toward the city wall.
On the city wall, the young paladins, their faces pale, retreated hastily.
"What's this?"
Someone raised a scepter and cast a spell, but the spell passed through the skeletons and shadows and landed on the ground.
"Damn it! Why isn't magic working on them?!"
Yu Wanwan rubbed her cheeks and glared at him secretly.
"Barrier".
"clear!"
Without any hesitation, Xu Qingzhou raised his hand and waved it, instantly enveloping the city wall with a pure light screen.
The moment the light curtain fell, Yu Wanwan flashed and leaped off the city wall.
Xu Qingzhou's breath hitched, and he instinctively reached out to grab her.
But she moved too quickly; he only managed to touch a piece of her clothing.
"You're no match for her, stay here!"
Her gentle and relaxed tone echoed in his ears, and Xu Qingzhou's eyelashes trembled as he forced himself to calm down.
But the hands hanging at his sides gradually tightened, and a strong sense of resentment was churning in his heart.
Watching Yu Wanwan leap off the city wall alone, Liu Ye tapped his cheek and laughed heartily.
"Little maid, he actually made you come down by yourself. It seems you don't hold a very high position in his heart!"
Yu Wanwan patted her skirt and raised her eyebrows slightly.
"There's nothing we can do. Your face is just too disgusting to him, so he doesn't even want to come down and take a closer look at you."
Liu Ye's smile vanished, and his expression darkened.
"Sharp-tongued! Looks like I'll have to knock your teeth out one by one until you can never speak again!"
It was this very mouth that had angered her so much that she had lost her composure and displayed inappropriate expressions in front of the priest several times.
wrong……
That's not the priest.
But it was still the priest's body...
Yu Wanwan shook her head, a gentle smile on her lips, a stark contrast to Liu Ye's.
"It seems that the Holy Maiden not only has a bad memory, but also lacks knowledge."
The words "poor memory" successfully reminded Liu Ye of the fear she felt when she was still in the Temple of Light, dominated by copying and memorizing texts.
Yu Wanwan wasn't finished yet; she kindly explained the facts to her.
"You can speak even if you don't have teeth, but you have to lose your tongue."
Her advice was very thoughtful.
"Even though you are now the Dark Saintess, you still need to learn these common sense things properly. Otherwise, if the Dark Saintess is illiterate, it will be a disgrace to the God of Darkness, won't it?"
"puff……"
Although it was very inappropriate, the knights and mages on the city wall couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Xu Qingzhou couldn't help but chuckle, all the jumbled thoughts in his mind dispelled.
The dark mages following Liu Ye also began to look at her with a strange gaze.
Ryūya's pale face flushed red with anger.
She raised a finger, and ominous black and red runes surged, pointing at Yu Wanwan, who was all alone.
Tear her to shreds!
Yu Wanwan sighed, her nimble figure weaving through the dense mass of skeletons and shadows.
"It's one thing to lack common sense, but how can you go back on your word?"
"You just said you'd leave me a complete corpse!"
Liu Ye trembled. The skeleton and shadow seemed to sense her emotions and roared as they surged forward, instantly engulfing Yu Wanwan.
Yu Wanwan moved slowly and gracefully. The straw bracelet on her wrist transformed into a long, emerald-green whip, which she wielded with agility and elegance.
But when the whip struck the skeletons and shadows, it missed its mark, just like the magic before.
Yu Wanwan raised an eyebrow, flicked her wrist, and a layer of green elements appeared on the long whip.
The emerald green whip was lashed out once more.
The skull was broken in two, and the shadow was scattered.
But in the next instant, the shattered skull moved on the ground and pieced itself back together, the shadowy figure circling in the air before coalescing again.
Ryūya gradually calmed down, revealing a hint of pity.
"Don't waste your energy, you can't beat these little guys."
Yu Wanwan rubbed her wrist.
"You just said you wanted them to tear me to pieces?"
Ryūya was puzzled.
"If you're willing to surrender obediently, maybe I can change my mind!"
Yu Wanwan tilted her head, flicked her long whip, and deepened her smile.
"It's okay, I'll tear them up and show you!"
Author's Note: Wanwan: Watch me show you how cool I am!
Saintess: ? ? ?
