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."
Muttering to himself, the man's face was expressionless.
As a magician who once belonged to the Wandering Sea, Nero Kaus no longer showed his feelings … No, since the day he abandoned his human body and became a Death Apostle, feelings were nothing more than a burden to him.
The reason why he came to this Far East was because of the order given by the White-Winged Duke, who was also one of the 27 Ancestors.
To destroy the True Ancestor's Princess.
Of course, Nero knew the reason behind it very well.
The 27 Ancestors of the Death Apostles.
He was the pinnacle existence of the vampires that ruled this world. Among the Twenty-Seven Ancestors, there was a ruler in name and a ruler in reality.
Ranked ninth among the 27 Ancestors, the Black Princess — Altluki Brunstad.
And ranked 17th among the 27 Ancestors, the White-Winged Duke — Twamu Ottenrocher.
The reason for the opposition between the two sides was very simple. In the early days, Altluki and Alqette were the first vampires created by Zhu Yue as her successor. To put it simply, if Zhu Yue was the king of all vampires, then Altluki and Alqette were the princesses of all vampires. In terms of bloodline, their status was supreme.
However, not every Death Apostle was willing to accept this.
For example, the White-Winged Duke — Twamu Ottenrocher.
Unlike other Death Apostles who were given blood and became vampires, the White-Winged Duke Twamu was originally a magician, but he later voluntarily turned into a vampire through some kind of ritual. Therefore, he had always been quite dissatisfied with Princess Altluki who nominally controlled and ruled all vampires. Altluki, on the other hand, didn't like Magician who didn't go through "normal channels" but "smuggled" into becoming a vampire.
To put it bluntly, this was just another form of power struggle among the vampires.
Neither side could do anything to the other. Although Altluki had the status of Princess Altluki in name, Twamu was very popular among the 27 Ancestors. It was like a regent and a minister with military power. The former held power, while the latter controlled the army. Both were worried about each other, but there was nothing they could do.
Also one of the 27 Forefathers, the tenth ranked "Chaos" Nero Kaus was a subordinate of the White Winged Duke. The purpose of his trip to the Far East was to kill Elqit Brunstad.
Although Alqette was not a member of Altluki's faction, she was no less important to the White-Winged Duke than Altluki — perhaps even more so.
After all, Altluki's status could only remain as the eldest princess. As Zhu Yue's successor, she herself was a flawed failure, so she did not have the right to inherit.
But Elqit was different. She was the perfect heir, which meant that sooner or later, she would inherit Zhu Yue's position and become the true King of the Vampires.
More importantly, Altluki always had guards by her side. Disregarding everything else, just the primate killer, who was ranked first among the 27 Ancestors, was already troublesome enough to deal with, not to mention the Black Knight Stuart and the White Knight Brad.
Altluki was always alone, so it was naturally easier for her to attack.
Although she had teamed up with the two magicians, they were just two brats and were not a problem at all.
So when Nero arrived at the hotel, he was very calm.
When he walked into the lobby of the hotel and saw the girl in front of him, he was still very calm.
It wasn't until the cold wind blew against his face that his expression finally changed.
"This is … an inherent boundary?!"
The luxurious hotel had completely disappeared, replaced by a wilderness of ice. The biting cold wind whistled past, and the cold snow covered the entire land. Even Akiha Moino, who was hiding behind the red ponytail, could not help but shrink back.
"To be honest, I'm not interested in the trivial matters between you vampires, but what you're about to do has crossed my bottom line."
Fangzheng raised the Frostmourne in her hand and looked at the man in front of her. Through Future Vision, she had already seen that the vampire in front of her would attack Altluki. However, it would not just be a battle. He would also release the beast sealed in his body and devour everyone in the hotel.
Of course, this was just a guess. After all, Nero, who was now locked in the Sealed Extinction by Fangzheng, would definitely not have the chance to eat people again. But so what?
What did her teacher say?
The so-called prophet mage means that I know you're going to attack me, so I'm going to attack you first!
"Warriors of the Frozen Wasteland, rise!"
With a roar, the next moment, hundreds of thousands of undead suddenly appeared on the originally empty ice field. Their empty eye sockets were burning with soul flames, and they held weapons and shields in their hands. They returned to the world from the 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. I didn't expect you to have such a trick."
"This is enough to deal with you."
Fangzheng suddenly waved the Frostmourne in his hand.
"The dead should behave like the dead. Lying down and waiting for death is the right way."
"Is that so?"
Nero narrowed his eyes at the red ponytail girl in front of him. Then, he suddenly lifted his coat.
"Well then, I'll show you my power!"
"— — — — — — — —!"
Along with Nero's voice, dozens of huge animals suddenly emerged from his pitch-black body under his coat. There were deer, crocodiles, bears, and even tyrannosauruses. They all had one thing in common — their pitch-black bodies and bright red eyes. As soon as these monsters that were large enough to play guest roles in American monster movies appeared, they charged at the undead army like wild horses.
This scene was shocking enough, but for Fangzheng …
"Hey, Autumn Leaf, don't you think that guy is a pervert?"
Autumn Leaf, who tensed up and was about to face the battlefield, felt Fangzheng tug at her clothes. When she lowered her head, she saw Fangzheng asking her with a strange smile, "What's the matter?
"Huh? Pervert? "
"That's right. Look at that guy. He's not wearing anything except his coat. His body is condensed. In other words, when he faced the two of us just now, he directly lifted his coat and revealed his naked body, okay?! He's a total exhibitionist! "
"Uhh …"
Autumn Leaf didn't think much about it, but after hearing Fangzheng's words, she was taken aback. Then, a faint blush appeared on her fair face.
Although the body under Nero's coat was just a "thing" that looked like a body made of pitch-black plasticine without any real special organs, after realizing this, Autumn Leaf still felt that the man in front of her was a little … .unbearable.
"Heh heh heh."
Looking at Autumn Leaf's wandering gaze and blushing face, Fangzheng chuckled and patted her on the shoulder.
"Okay, enough with the jokes. It's time for you to make your move."
"Huh? Do you want me …? "
"Of course I don't want you to deal with that Death Apostle. I'll keep an eye on that guy, but as a spellcaster, you must also learn to use your skills in battle. Coincidentally, I'll leave that guy's bird to you. Cut it up. "
"Bird?"
Hearing this, Autumn Leaf raised her head and looked in front of her. On the battlefield in front of her, the undead army summoned by the red ponytail and the animals summoned by the opponent were fighting. In the sky, a black shadow was getting bigger and bigger. It was …
"An eagle?"
Yes, it looked like an eagle from the outside, but it was much bigger than an ordinary eagle. It was almost as big as an ancient pterodactyl. At this moment, the eagle hovering in the air apparently noticed Autumn Leaf's existence. It let out a long cry and rushed down towards her.
"Ahhh!!"
Faced with this sudden attack, Autumn Leaf screamed in fright. She turned her head and looked around, only to find that the red ponytail who was standing beside her had disappeared without her knowing. Only a sentence was left behind, passing into her ears.
"Any mage must learn to face and deal with all kinds of difficult situations. Come on, I believe in you. You'll be fine. Just take it as an exam. Work hard. "
"Huh?!!!"
Hearing the red ponytail's message, Autumn Leaf screamed.
It had to be said that this was indeed a very difficult thing for her.
Unfortunately, there was no chance for Autumn Leaf to think about it. Because the whistling wind was already above her head.
Almost instinctively, Autumn Leaf quickly moved her fingers, and a series of magic runes appeared on her fingertips. Just as the eagle's claws were about to pierce her body … Autumn Leaf's body suddenly disappeared, then quickly reappeared five or six meters away from the original point.
"Haa … Haa …"
Although the eagle's attack missed, it quickly circled up, intending to attack the target again. Autumn Leaf stared at the black shadow, then chanted the spell again — this time, her body disappeared silently in the snow.
"…??"
Looking at Autumn Leaf's sudden disappearance, the eagle tilted its head, as if it didn't know what was going on. Logically speaking, ordinary invisibility wouldn't work on the Dark Eaglet who was a vampire. It could find the enemy by body temperature, blood flow, and heartbeat. But just now, when Autumn Leaf disappeared, her body temperature, heartbeat, and breathing all disappeared.
It was as if she had never existed.
"Huff … Huff …"
Autumn Leaf clenched her hands and stared at the eagle hovering in the air. At the same time, her mind was quickly thinking about how to deal with the enemy. Although she had used invisibility to successfully avoid the enemy's attack, the enemy obviously had no intention of letting her go. Although she could take the opportunity to escape, but …
This is the homework that Miss Xiao Hong left for me.
Thinking of this, Autumn Leaf clenched her fists. She was no ordinary girl. Ever since she was young, the blood of the Yuano Family had made her aware that she was different from the others. The Yuano Family was one of the four great families that repelled demons, and the power they possessed meant that she was destined to face battle.
If she didn't know this, why would she choose to become Teacher Fiore's student?
But … …
There were indeed very few low-level illusion spells that could be used for attack.
Autumn Leaf thought carefully for a moment, but still couldn't find a spell that could deal with the current situation. Most illusion spells were used to deceive and hide, and there were very few spells that could directly attack. If Miss Hei Tong or Miss Asakami were here, they might be able to find the answer easily.
But as for herself …
If I don't use "that" … No, even if I use it, I'm afraid I won't have a good ending. Since Miss Xiao Hong said that this was a test, using "that" instead of using spells should be equivalent to cheating.
In that case …
No matter what the situation is, a spellcaster should try to use the spells he has learned as much as possible. There are no useless spells, only useless mages … This is what Teacher Fiore taught us in the past.
Autumn Leaf's mind turned one condition after another. Then, her eyes lit up.
I have to try.
At the thought of this, Autumn Leaf snapped her fingers. In the next moment, her figure appeared in the snowfield once again.
"— — — —!!"
Upon discovering its prey, the huge black falcon swooped down again. This time, as if to prevent Autumn Leaf from escaping, it rushed over at the speed of an arrow. Autumn Leaf took a deep breath as she watched the black shadow pouncing on her. Then, her hands danced in the air quickly and briskly.
Then, just as the falcon was about to reach Autumn Leaf, the shadow exploded.
The shadow under Autumn Leaf's body began to sway like a flame. Then, it quickly transformed into dozens of tentacles, tightly binding the Falcon's body. The falcon didn't seem to expect this. It struggled desperately, but the next moment …
"Hiss — —!"
The falcon's head suddenly turned into a venomous snake. It flew up and opened its mouth to bite Autumn Leaf.
Autumn Leaf couldn't dodge anymore. She could only watch as the venomous snake came in front of her and … pierced through her head.
"Haaaahhhh!!"
At that moment, along with a sudden shriek, the Black Falcon shuddered abruptly. Shortly after, its head that had transformed into a viper split into two and fell to the ground.
"Haa … Haa …."
At that moment, Autumn Leaf, who was gasping for breath, slowly appeared in the air beside her. In contrast, the Autumn Leaf who was attacked by the venomous snake just now disappeared into thin air like a bubble.
"I … I finally succeeded."
Autumn Leaf put down the blade condensed from the black shadow in her hand and let out a long sigh. This was what she came up with in a flash. First, she cast Invisibility to hide herself, then created a secondary phantom to attract the enemy's attention, then used Shadow Bind to capture the enemy. While the enemy was distracted, she could summon a ghost weapon to deal a fatal blow.
Now, it seemed to be a success.
"Phew …!"
Autumn Leaf let out another long breath and slowly sat down on the ground.
This time … I should be considered to have passed the test …
