The book that Marvin handed to Jessica was, of course, the one he had obtained from the Lamia Witch's library. It was about the Defense of Ghosts.
This kind of book could only be read by spellcasters who had reached a certain level of mental strength.
In fact, the requirements to read this kind of ancient book were even harsher than ordinary spellcaster books. At the very least, one had to be a legendary Wizard with advanced identification and proficient in the ancient common language to be able to read it normally.
But Jessica was different.
Although she was not a legendary Wizard, the halo of a Apocalyptic Warlock was too powerful.
The power of the Apocalyptic Warlock was the priority of all powers in the entire Fernand Plane. As long as it was a spellcaster book, she could use it.
Otherwise, it would be useless for Ma Wen to go through so much trouble to get this book.
JESSICA took the book with a solemn look on her face.
She flipped through it seriously for a while, then looked at Ma Wen strangely. "Where did you get this thing?"
Ma Wen shrugged and did not explain further. He knew that Jessica was not the kind of person who would chase after him, and there was no need for him to explain everything to her.
Sometimes, it was important to maintain a sense of mystery, even if the other party was an ally.
JESSICA rolled her eyes at him in a rare womanly manner and went back to studying the ancient book.
Ma Wen rested in the Ruby Fortress for two days.
Although the Dark Wraith had spread in the underground world, the Rosen Fortress group was still impregnable because of the strict management.
He rested here for a few days and took some recovery potions, mainly to repair the damage caused by the Broken Bones Wail.
After two days of recovery, the traces of the Broken Bones Wail on his body gradually disappeared.
It was only then that Ma Wen truly breathed a sigh of relief.
It would be terrible if this thing left any sequelae on his body.
During this time, the powerful Apocalyptic Warlock announced that he had successfully deciphered the perfect form of the Dark Wraith Defense. Ma Wen was naturally curious, so they left the Rosen Fortress group through Rui Wen's relationship and headed for the occupied area in the west.
… …
In the dark crypt, two figures were walking casually.
A cold wind blew from the west. That was the direction of the Perpetual Frozen Spring.
The cold spread further, but what made the Underground races more afraid was not the temperature but the expansion of the dark wraith!
At this point, there were no longer any living creatures to the west of the Great Maelstrom!
This place had completely turned into a dark wraith paradise.
Jessica had also received news from the City of Hope that the pressure on Kate's protection had increased. But that was not the worst of it. What was more frightening was that the monsters possessed by the dark wraith had begun to spread to the east of the surface!
Perhaps a certain hidden Harpy Matriarch realized that the City of Hope was not an easy bone to chew, so she finally chose to avoid this place and go to other human worlds.
They had already begun to clash with the demonized sorcerers in the Fallen Area.
Whether it was luck or misfortune, according to the secret research of the City of Hope's arcane masters, Dark Wraith was actually unable to possess demonized Magi!
In addition, there were not many humans wandering west of the Sage Desert. Most of them were demonized sorcerers who appeared out of nowhere. The Dark Wraith did not show any signs of spreading.
They were stuck between the Stony Mountains and the Sage Desert.
However, Ma Wen knew that this trend would not last for long.
The dark wraith invading the surface were not the main force. There was only one Harpy Matriarch at most.
Their current goal was still to conquer the Great Maelstrom and convert the underground races in the Rosen Stronghold into their compatriots. Only then could they accumulate strength and develop towards the surface.
It was a gradual process. However, during this process, the growth of the dark wraith was enough to make all races tremble in fear.
Ma Wen knew that if they could not stop all of this, even if the White River Valley was far away in the east, they would not be able to escape this calamity.
Even if they could not kill the Harpy Matriarch, it was also good to seal it back into the Eternal Frozen Spring.
However, food had to be eaten bite by bite, and things had to be done step by step.
Rui Wen had just obtained control of the Ruby Stronghold. With Jessica's strong performance, no one dared to oppose her.
She began to try to get in touch with the higher-ups of the stronghold. It was said that she should be able to obtain a position as a second-rank representative of the Dark Coalition Council in the next few days.
The Dark Coalition Council was the highest authority that dominated the Rosen Stronghold. It had a total of seven first-rank representatives and fourteen second-rank representatives, a total of twenty-one seats.
Among them, the seven first-rank representatives had the most power. These seats were divided among the three largest strongholds, leaving only one, which was said to be occupied by a legendary figure of the underground races.
Among the fourteen second-rank representatives, many of them had the shadow of the three major strongholds.
Under normal circumstances, it was impossible for Rui Wen to obtain a second-rank representative seat. Fortunately, in the previous battle, a mid-level stronghold was destroyed by the dark wraith. Although the people of the stronghold used extreme methods to eliminate all the dark wraith, the stronghold had also become a land of extinction.
Thus, a second-rank representative seat was vacated.
The fierce dispute among the higher-ups gave the Ruby Stronghold an opportunity. After Rui Wen integrated the Ruby Stronghold with the help of Jessica, she had the power of two groups of people. Whether it was the underground humans who had recently surrendered to her or the drow clan who had been following her, they were the mainstream forces of the underground world.
It was also under such circumstances that she had the opportunity to obtain a representative seat.
According to her, the Dark Coalition Council had been moving frequently in the past few days. It was estimated that the matter of forming a legendary team to crusade against the Everfrozen Spring had some progress, so she was also speeding up the pace of her actions.
… …
"What an abominable life."
Not far away, a shriveled Grey Dwarf stumbled over.
Jessica's face was filled with undisguised hatred.
She also hated the underground races, but she still regarded them as an equal life form.
However, monsters like the dark wraith would be seen as a great enemy by all life forms.
This kind of cosmic locust monster originally made all creatures feel fear and anger from the bottom of their hearts.
At that moment, she did not hesitate to throw a [Defense of the Wraith] that she had just learned at the gray dwarf!
In an instant, a bright blue light illuminated the entire space.
Under the caress of the blue light, the gray dwarf suddenly began to tremble. His withered skin began to wriggle, and finally, countless slimy worms crawled out of his body!
The ferocious scene was a little terrifying.
However, once these worms left their host, they lost their resistance to the blue light and quickly melted into a pool of pus.
The air was filled with a dense stench.
"Looks like the effect is good." Jessica turned to Ma Wen and asked, "Do you want to learn?"
Ma Wen was stunned for a moment. "I can learn too?"
Jessica seemed to have thought of something, and her expression suddenly turned cold.
"You have the power of the apocalypse, of course you can learn anything!"
