Chapter 1223 - The Newly Advanced Big Wizard
Here is Chapter 1223 of "High School of Demon Hunting": Chapter 1223: Chapter 285: The Newly Advanced Big Wizard"Donât be so grateful to me!"A slightly... Donât miss it!
Chapter 1223: Chapter 285: The Newly Advanced Big Wizard"Donât be so grateful to me!"
A slightly annoyed voice rang out above Jiang Yuâs head, exceptionally clear in the eerie silence, "Your law book was a great help too... Of course, if I hadnât twisted the entrance to the little world to the other side at the last moment, Iâm afraid it wouldnât just be that rabbit thatâs turned into charcoal by now! So, you donât have to be so grateful to me..."
Tears streaming, the Witch raised her tear-blurred eyes looking upwards.
The Yellow Flowered Cat, which Zheng Qing called âBrother Huangâ, was lying on a branch not far above her head, with one leg hanging limply. In front of it was a small, transparent sphere, inside which one could vaguely make out the shadow of a small tree.
"He... he blew up... blew up," the Witch choked up, the last image in her memory repeated in her mind, enlarging and swirlingâa massive Black Cat roaring, suddenly swelling in size, the little world emitting one final cry before space splintered and shards rained down like snow in the deep winter. A deep red light ignited from within the Black Cat, flashing once before vanishing. Then the entire world was swallowed in a radiant, shimmering white light.
"No, heâs still alive." A slightly hoarse voice came from behind Jiang Yu.
She whirled around.
Through misty tears, she saw a familiar figure.
It was Korma.
However, the Korma in front of her was drastically different from before entering the little world. Her originally brown-black hair had turned a lustrous silver-white, a tadpole-like black mark was imprinted on her pristine forehead, adding a mysterious aura to her delicate face.
But most noticeable was her aura and current stateâJiang Yu felt as though Korma was standing right beside her, yet at the same time, impossibly far away. A vast Magic Power surrounded her, warping the space and light in the vicinity.
Jiang Yu had once felt this sensation from Su Shijun. It was the state of having ascended to a Big Wizard, but not having fully mastered the Big Wizardâs power yet.
"Lucky girl," noticing the shock on Jiang Yuâs face, the Yellow Flowered Cat on the tree explained considerately, "She was originally dragged into a void journey by the Power of the Pact, but due to the sudden death of the other party in the contractâ that is, the big toadâthe contract was terminated, hence she was expelled from the void, returning to reality. And the power of Satoguyaâs descent, through the connection of the contract, was inversely channeled into her body..."
The Yellow Flowered Catâs explanation was quite matter-of-fact, but Jiang Yu, with enough common sense, found it heart-stopping. Whether it was falling into the void or the contract feedback, every step was like walking a tightrope between life and death, and a single misstep could lead to oblivion.
Jiang Yu couldnât afford to contemplate what impact a newly promoted young Big Wizard would bring.
She wiped the tears from her face and asked anxiously, "Heâs alive? Do you know him?"
"I didnât at first," Korma said with a wry smile, "I thought the Black Cat looked familiar, but I assumed it was Old Mouseâs friend... until I advanced just now, saw the little world collapse, glimpsed a few fragments where timelines intersected, and I guessed his identity."
"Itâs Zheng Qing, isnât it."
Jiang Yu pursed her lips, not objecting, thereby accepting the answer.
"No wonder Yilianâs reactions were so strange," the newly promoted Big Wizard murmured, noting the urgency on Jiang Yuâs face and laughing softly, "That guy has more secrets than any of us, how could he die that easily... and besides, if he really died, the one who should be most anxious right now isnât you, but that cat up in the tree."
"Tsk," the Yellow Flowered Cat on the tree shook its whiskers, a look of irritation on its face, "Instead of worrying about that stinking kid, we should think about how to deal with the schoolâs..."
Before it could finish speaking, a giant golden net shimmering with countless runes suddenly appeared above the Silent Forest. Outside the net, hundreds of figures in black robes stood at its nodes, holding Law books and chanting spells in unison. Every wisp of air in the forest was gathered by the net.
Jiang Yu felt as if hundreds of Suppression Symbols had been stuck onto his body, rendering him unable to muster a trace of Magic Power.
Underneath the net, a Little old man with a pair of pitch-black eyes, wearing a thick woolen robe and leaning on a silver wolf-headed cane, quietly stood behind Korma. He frowned and gazed past the bushes towards the scorched earth.
This was Vice Principal Ruoyu from First University; Jiang Yu recognized his identity instantly.
"Youâd better have a decent explanation," said the Little old man, looking up at the Yellow Flowered Cat on the branch with a hostile tone, "Engaging in such dangerous activities near First University is not something even the Principal would allow... And you know the current situation. Shi Hui is convinced that this is a ruse by some dangerous forces to lure the Tiger away from the mountain."
"Has she finally admitted to being the Tiger herself?" The Yellow Flowered Cat dismissed the Vice Principalâs questioning with disdain: "Unfortunately, Iâm past the age of being âedgyâ and no longer think of myself as a Tiger... so, sheâs out of luck."
"This is not a joke!" Vice Principal Ruoyu slammed his cane forcefully, glancing at the two Witches, especially Korma, with great caution, "They might be officially charged by Danghag!"
"Wow, Danghagâs Bar Association should send me a big banner of gratitude, since Iâve brought them a generous client," the Yellow Flowered Catâs tail tip swept towards Jiang Yu and then to Korma, "Besides, if Iâm not mistaken, itâs been over a thousand years since Danghag has put a Big Wizard on trial... Punishments involving Big Wizards have always been handled by the Great Wizard Council."
Vice Principal Ruoyu grunted and did not deny the Yellow Flowered Catâs words.
All was quiet in the forest again.
Only the massive golden net in the mid-air sparkled dazzlingly in the sunlight.
"Buzz..."
When the explosion in the Silent Forest reached deep into the campus, only a faint and deep rumble was left, causing the windows of lecture halls and dormitories to buzz and rattle.
Jiuyou Academy, girlsâ dormitory.
Li Meng, who was sprawling on her bed and sleeping soundly, was startled awake once again by the abrupt buzzing sound. She sat up with a jolt, looked around hazily, and murmured,
"Whatâs that, my cousin hasnât called me to get up yet..." The Little Witch turned over, curled back into her blanket, and soon began to snore again.
At her feet, the plush bear Li Neng hung in mid-air, bound tightly and drooping its head. The glassy eyes had long lost their shine, as if protesting against this dark World.
