Chapter 19

The person in the blue robe and mask was being questioned by their companions at this moment.
"You need to explain." One of the five, dressed in red, spoke, while the other one in yellow was the spellcaster. One person casts the spell while the other four guard, with their magical attributes being wind, fire, water, earth, and thunder. In the world of Eve Magic, although there is a large number of spellcasters, the distribution of attributes is fixed, and long-term spellcasting requires rotation. Having all five elements present in each casting point helps with timely replacement and maintaining balance of attributes.
The person in the blue robe said only a few words and temporarily evaded suspicion because I was standing in front of them, and they couldn't investigate further.
"The next rotation is coming soon, we can't waste time and let Othrie's emperor and Jincheng be ruined together."
"Oh, I forgot to mention that the emperor is no longer here. According to the speed... hm, he's already in the imperial capital."
"It's impossible. Eve Magic doesn't allow a marked species to leave!"
"If it was taken away by the demon race, that's a different story. Think about whose magic Eve Magic belongs to."
The demon race has privileges in Eve Magic. It is their privilege reserved for themselves, and it facilitates the Pluto messenger to take away souls.
"Magic has been activated. Even if he has left, there's still you, and there are still the people of the Jincheng Eighteenth District!"
"Hahaha, I actually quite like this sickening mood, but you insist on interfering with me and my people, then I don't like it! If you still remember this mood in the next life, please don't come to me again..."
God Devourer lightly touched their defensive barrier, causing the magic barrier to ripple like waves.
"What's going on? This sword... This nauseating fear, is it a divine artifact?"
"I don't think it's a divine artifact because even divine artifacts cannot interact with it." The person in yellow, who was casting the spell, spoke, but they couldn't focus on their spellcasting anymore.
"Even if Qin Yang kills us, so what? Eve Magic can still function without spellcasters!"
"No, no, I asked at the beginning, where is the sacrifice."
"What sacrifice?"
"Do you think I know nothing?" The sword split into three, and the purple sword energy invaded, making them feel suffocated.
"Resist with all your might! Is he just a high school student? The information didn't mention his strange dark magic."
The purple sword energy made the five feel that it was dark magic, but it was far different from the dark magic they had encountered before.
"What... is this!" The person in red, oppressed by the purple sword energy, burst out their emotions first. They cast a giant fireball spell, a seemingly powerful fire magic, with a wave of intense heat.
"Boom!" Sands and rocks flew, leaving a scene of chaos, as if everything was about to be destroyed.
"Are they dead?"
"Crack." The sound of breaking twigs under my feet, a ghostly shadow stepping out of the dust.
"I won't kill you!" God Devourer slipped out of my hand, transforming into a giant sword, inserted into the ground, and the bitter words on the sword faintly lit up, with countless souls of the ages hiding within it appearing once again.
"Our bodies have become heavier! It's cursed magic!"
"We are not afraid of having a heavier body. Do you know how we cultivated in the Winter Extreme?" A thousand-pound iron plate fell out of the blue-robed person's clothes.
They bound themselves with the iron plate, training to move freely in this situation. After unbinding, they would become faster and stronger.
The blue-robed figure was heavily laden with moisture, and the blue sword rain descended from the sky.
I stroked God Devourer, holding five rings in my hand. I wasn't nervous about his sword rain.
"Last time it was because of the magic, this time you're out of luck!" Put on the five rings, the diffusion of "L" particles made me look particularly cool, anyway, I think it looks cool.
"This is Othrie's particle weapon, be careful!"
Dark elements gathered in my hand, and the world had already changed its color, it was just that the night seemed even darker.
"Dark Kirin!" It had been a long time since I used Kirin Fist, and I didn't need to use powerful magic to deal with these people.
With a shake of Kirin's arm, the earth trembled and trees fell, scattering the birds and also shaking loose a group of monsters.
"Mark that Kirin!"
"You can't, you can only mark one species, then let's get rid of Qin Yang."
"Dream on!"
The man in red was about to say something when Kirin hit him in the chest, spewing blood all over the ground.
"Damn it, such a powerful Kirin."
"It's not Kirin that's powerful, it's me." The man in red lay on the ground and I stood over him, taking care of him with one move.
Covered in blood, I stepped over the man in red, appearing and disappearing in the eyes of the remaining four.
"This guy is not right, he was much more righteous yesterday than he is now!"
"Evil and mysterious, this is more in line with our information."
I stood behind them, getting closer to them.
"Information?"
The remaining four immediately retreated, the man in yellow looked up at the sky and said, "It's time to rotate, even if the three of us die, we can't reveal where the sacrifice is."
The blue-robed figure supported the celestial demon power with both hands, connecting through the thousand-year-old tree. The peculiar points of Eve's magic were still in one place, a variable formation diagram attached to some living thing, and even the human race couldn't figure it out all at once.
"Earth Soul Fiery Dog!" The man in yellow summoned a hellhound from the yellow soil, and the moment the mad jaws of the hound touched the Dark Kirin, it screamed in pain, as if suffocating or being hit on the head.
"That Kirin is poisonous!"
Blood splattered on the grass that hadn't been burned, even the overturned land didn't have any earthworms; here, there were almost only monsters with magic power and plants that had become demonic.
"That blood... happened in an instant again..."
"Don't look left and right!"
Once again, blood splattered, my fingers and five rings went through someone's throat, and the person died without making a sound. Killing two people in a row, all done in high-speed movement, my magic power had to be borne and the rings used as a medium to cast dark magic. At this moment, the ring on my ring finger overloaded and became useless. All the rings on my hand were initial rings; the ring system hadn't been adjusted, some couldn't keep up with my pace.
"You, in blue and yellow robes, it's just the two of you left!" In a short time, only two enemies remained, they would feel pressured in their hearts, and the curse that made them heavier and slower in battle.
"If you kill us, Eve's magic will go out of control, and the sacrifice will die even faster. By now, I'll also tell you... the time the sacrifice will survive... is less than an hour!" The blue-robed figure said as he cast his spell.
I lifted the hem of my Hanfu and squatted in front of the dead enemy, placing my fingers on their masks.
"Do you guys like wearing masks so much? Unfortunately, masks can't hide your appearance."
"Snap!" The mask cracked, exposing a bloody face beneath. The discarded mask, still dripping with bloodied skin, flew through the air. Though the expression under the blue and yellow-clothed person's mask remained unchanged, their inner feelings were different. They had pushed the limits, come close to death time and time again. In this era, everyone knew that after death, unless there were unexpected circumstances, they would be judged by Pluto in the underworld and returned to the mortal realm. But how many had the courage to start over from scratch?
"The data showed that when the red eyes appeared, it was indeed an irresistible impulse. Why?"
"The data? I've always wanted to know where you get your data from... Ah, the far east - Yuanyuanqing!"
"Ah, our little sister might have..."
"She's already fifty. Thirty years ago, she was just in her twenties. In human eyes, shouldn't she be an old lady by now? Besides, Ling Sheji is much older than that!"
"The data has long stated that Qin Yang with red eyes is a ruthless killer. Overnight, he slaughtered a team in the inter-school competition because his sister cursed them with a dagger. Furthermore, their captain was taken to a place by you and killed. The reason being that your girlfriend was injured in that place. Many bloody examples are also listed in the data. Therefore, even if you are more ferocious, we are mentally prepared."
"Well then, know who I am and be straightforward. Where is the sacrifice?"
Dark Kirin stood beside me, shaking and swaying. The "darkness" it left behind made one shudder. In our surroundings, it was as if the moon had never appeared.
"Don't waste your effort! It's coming."
"It?" I looked up, sensing something enormous above Jincheng. It wasn't a millennium tree; it was a Monster.
"To be honest, we are afraid of the power you are displaying now. We are all already at the Low-level Demigod stage, but we still can't see through you, even though you seem to see through us," said the person in the yellow robe, removing his mask to reveal a weathered face. "But our defiance doesn't stem solely from the fact that our deaths will accelerate the sacrifice's death. It's because it will appear to protect the caster! After Eve's Magic is activated, animals and plants will have a king-like role. The millennium tree is the king of plants, and the king of Monsters is... the Giant Peng."
A giant Peng bird with a body length exceeding five hundred meters. Its beak was made of metal.
"It is the king of Peng birds that evolved through a one-in-a-million chance in this forest!"
As the giant Peng bird dived, a hurricane tore through the air. Dark Kirin used its forelimbs to block the metal beak, but the powerful Kirin arm was quickly thrown into the air as the giant Peng bird lifted its head.
"A troublesome bird!"
I knew when Kirin was thrown into the air that it couldn't defeat such a giant Peng bird. The Kirin summoned by Kirin's fist was very powerful, but it couldn't sustain itself for long.
Taking off the ring on my ring finger, only one ring remained in my pocket - the bloody ring that Nofice had given me as Lan's ring.
Lan personalized the ring system, so if the Magic used wasn't of the same type as hers, the effect would be inferior to a regular ring. But even though I understood this, I still put the ring on. While I might not be able to perform "Plant Harmony" right away, I had a set of Magic for earth and wood construction.
Suddenly, particles diffused far into the distance, causing the entire forest to tremble. Little tree sprouts emerged from the ground, growing rapidly... It became a pink peach blossom forest!
