Chapter 351: Dark Sun Apostle
Under normal expectations, the birth of the evil god's vessel should have occurred after Ilianna had been pregnant for ten months.
However, due to Jia Na's interference, the birth of the “evil god” had to be brought forward by a month. At the same time, to cover its tracks, the “evil god” deliberately caused a huge commotion in Duling City and separated a portion of its 【Divinity】 to attach to Ilianna, thereby attracting the attention of Formal Wizards like Grace-Eva.
It used this to fish in troubled waters.
It can be said that, up to this point, every step of this “evil god”’s plan, which was born ahead of schedule, has been very successful.
Not only did it lure most of the Wizards from the Turin Wizard Gathering Place to Duling, but it also successfully sealed them within Duling City with the power of the 【dark sun Law】.
Although, without its divine power fully recovered, rashly casting the 【dark sun Law】 in the 【Primary Material World】 comes at a huge cost for any “God Descender”.
However, whenever the Dark Sun Apostle — Utaz-dark sun — recalled the memories of being humiliated by Anthony-Black Sparrow and Losia-Haigo working together, the deep-seated hatred was like a flame, constantly searing Utaz-dark sun’s heart.
Therefore, Utaz-dark sun’s top priority now is to quickly seize the Life force of those around him by spreading plague, completing this revival secretly and carefully.
“Hmm?”
Just as Utaz-dark sun was extracting the Life force from the surrounding beings, an extremely pure Life force quickly appeared in his perception.
“This is an unexpected surprise—”
After a brief hesitation, Utaz-dark sun, eager for his revival, no longer bothered to discern the impropriety of it and immediately began to absorb the continuously emerging Life force from the surroundings.
“As expected, they all died.”
A vibrant green light rapidly bloomed from Jia Na’s hand. Looking at the plants that quietly grew and then quickly died under the power of the 【Growth Law Fragment】, Jia Na’s brows couldn’t help but furrow slightly, then quickly relaxed.
“This also proves that Professor Uta’s plan is feasible.”
The revival of an evil god requires the Blood Red sacrifice of a large number of living beings’ Life and souls. However, if it’s merely the descent ritual of an evil god’s apostle, it doesn’t require such complexity.
According to Professor Uta’s intelligence, the “evil god’s vessel” mixed in the crowd this time was actually just an “evil god’s apostle,” specifically, the vessel for the descent of a Dark Sun Apostle.
Precisely for this reason, without special means of detection, even a Formal Wizard would be unable to discern their true form.
And this was the point that puzzled Jia Na.
She truly didn’t understand how Professor Uta had instantly recognized that ordinary, frail infant as the vessel for the “Dark Sun Apostle” amidst the vast crowd.
“Could it be that Professor Uta, like Principal Anthony, also possesses extremely strong sensory abilities?”
While continuously using the power of Growth to Birth the plants on the back mountain, various conjectures constantly popped up in Jia Na’s mind.
But very quickly, she had no time to be distracted by anything else, fully exerting the power of the 【Growth Law Fragment】 to prevent the “Dark Sun Apostle” from absorbing the Life force of ordinary people again—
“That’s enough, Jia Na.”
After an unknown period, just as Jia Na was about to exhaust her strength, Professor Uta’s transmitted voice reached Jia Na’s ear at the opportune moment.
“Is it finally over—”
Due to prolonged use of Law power, Jia Na’s face had become unusually pale.
Although wielding the power of Law does not consume magic power, it still causes a continuous drain on Jia Na’s spiritual power and soul.
“To avoid alerting the enemy, Professor Uta has truly exhausted all possible methods.”
When Professor Uta explained this mission to Jia Na, she had also asked him why they didn’t directly eliminate the opponent while he hadn’t fully revived yet.
Professor Uta’s answer was very direct: it was to reduce casualties among ordinary people.
The essence of the 【God Descent Ritual】 is for a 【God Descender】 to use certain means to bypass the Law of expulsion from the current plane, thereby achieving the descent of a 【Clone】.
The reason the “Dark Sun Apostle” has remained hidden and developed silently until now is because he is extremely confident in his concealment methods, believing that the Wizards of the Turin Wizard Gathering Place cannot find him.
However, once he discovers he has been exposed, even if his current “vessel” has not achieved true divine power recovery, he will unreservedly unleash his malice towards the beings of the 【Primary Material World】, dragging all ordinary people of White Coral Academy down with him.
It was to prevent this possibility that Professor Uta had Jia Na stimulate the Growth of plants on the back mountain, using the plants’ Life force to exchange for the Life force of ordinary people.
At the same time, Professor Uta was quietly using the power of the Magic Tower on the other side to complete other arrangements.
His goal was to directly eliminate this menace while ensuring the safety of most ordinary people’s lives.
And this made Jia Na realize for the first time that Wizards, to ordinary mortals, were not merely a lofty, extraordinary group.
They are protectors, they are symbiotic, and they bear the responsibility of fighting against outer gods, against all those who harbor malice towards the 【Primary Material World】.
She let out a long sigh of relief. After retracting the power of the 【Growth Law Fragment】, Jia Na quickly left the back mountain and stood back behind Professor Uta.
Seeing Jia Na had returned, Professor Uta continued to chant the incantation. As vast energy surged, a complex magic circle quickly enveloped the entire back mountain, emitting powerful magical energy fluctuations.
“Sister, is there an earthquake?”
In the back mountain, Sean, who had just recovered from a serious illness, felt the violent trembling beneath him. He pulled Jenny’s hand beside him and asked with a hint of panic.
“Don’t panic—as long as the Wizard adults are here, we won’t be in danger.”
As Jenny said, when the residents of Duling City felt the ground shake, their first reaction was not to flee, but to look towards Wizard Uta, who stood not far away.
Seeing that Wizard Uta was still there, they gradually relaxed, though their hands still clutched tightly to anything they could grasp nearby, waiting for the tremors to subside.
“What in the world are these Wizards doing?”
Because he had just absorbed a considerable amount of pure Life force, Utaz-dark sun, still in the midst of his recovery, was already able to open his eyes.
“This is clearly not an earthquake—”
Feeling the continuous violent tremors beneath him, a hint of confusion flashed in Utaz-dark sun’s Blood Red eyes.
It wasn't until several tens of seconds later, as the tremors intensified, that an unbelievable thought suddenly appeared in Utaz-dark sun’s mind.
“No! This is clearly a sealing magic array!!”
