Chapter 1 Future Directions

Location, in the foothills of the Elian Mountains of the Forest of the Moon, an abandoned magic circle.

The mountain wind swept up the fallen leaves, making the robes of the magicians present fly. The messy hair confused everyone's eyes, and just as the clouds were silent, the abandoned magic array covered with thorns and thorns once again glowed with blue light. The blue-purple and golden-yellow arcs of lightning danced like fangs and claws, striking sparkling flames on the surrounding sand, causing the dead leaves to burn and turn into green smoke in an instant. In the center of the magic array, there was a black-haired girl in a black robe who seemed to be asleep, slowly floating in the air under the urging of the invisible force field, and the long hair dancing in the wind formed a small turbulence, stretching and spreading and curling wantonly, making everyone present have a slightly uneasy look on their faces.

"Looking at this girl's peaceful sleeping position, it's hard to imagine that she is the big devil who almost overthrew the entire elf clan. ”

The gray-bearded old man smiled brightly, and what was interesting was that there were many colorful crystals on his right hand, as if they were growing from the inside outward, as if they were the sequelae of a magical accident. He wore the most ornate magic robes in his uninhibited manner, which meant that he had the highest status among the magicians.

He was none other than the headmaster of one of the three major magical academies, the Karenitz Academy, whose name was Sigmund Freud.

The blue-haired young man with monocles beside him had a delicate face like a girl, and asked very uneasily, "Principal Karenitz, are you really ...... Do you know the magic of extracting souls?"

"Hahaha, in fact, I've never done this before. That sounds like something that the necromancers of the Scartoon are proficient in, Virgie. ”

Next to the handsome young man Vicky, the red-haired freelancer was wearing shabby armor, and on his back was a broken but exaggerated giant sword, and the countless scars accumulated by continuous battles on his body had not completely healed, but his eyes were extremely tough, like an irremovable mountain.

Even so, when he heard Mr. Freud say that, he was frightened: "How can you be so casual!"

"Rest assured, Yuri. Just because I haven't performed this kind of magic before doesn't mean I can't use my decades of magic to study the basic techniques of the Soul Extraction Ritual. "Mr. Freud's long gray hair danced violently, and his robes and sleeves were filled with the wind.

Virgy said nervously, "But this is not a simple ritual, but a complex magic that can almost reach the realm of the gods!"

Freud boldly opened his right hand, refracted the light from the hedron into the sky, and laughed: "This is not the first time I have challenged the realm of the gods, this hand is thanks to him, but it is surprisingly better than the normal hand." ”

His crystallized right hand was the divine punishment he received at the expense of using the celestial sacred object "Crystal Sand Table" in order to fill up the valley in the Third Elven War, but now he can use the mineral crystals of his right hand to cast spells directly, so it can be said that it is more useful than the original hand.

Freud said energetically: "The science of magic is the science of magic to turn the miraculous power that originally belonged only to the gods into a power that can be used by human beings using spells, runes, and magic circles." Benaryse is not even a god, just a witch's technique, there's no reason why I can't reproduce it!"

Freud raised his staff and directed the thunder and lightning across the sky towards the circle, and the heat caused by the instant explosion caused the air to expand violently, and the huge wave of air that spread outward rushed to the people next to the circle. Powerful energy was poured into the magic array, and the magic array generated a strong magnetic field, and the figure of the floating girl in black began to shake up and down.

Freud gritted his teeth and laughed like a hot-blooded teenager: "Come, come, tear apart the thunder of the wilderness, lend me your awesome power, and separate these two pathetic souls!"

Sand began to roll up around the circle, and the light of the circle became clearer and clearer. In the end, the aurora in the sky hung upside down, and a beam of colorful light fell from the sky and shone on the girl's body, only to hear the air burst, and the girl's body was divided into three!

The actual physical form is in the middle, and the clear and transparent soul floats above the body. However, there was another pitch-black shadow that had already swayed and fallen, but it was like an incomparably viscous pitch-black oil, struggling to cling to the body and refusing to leave.

"Break away from that innocent girl and go your separate ways, Benalis!"

This enraged the black shadow, and she let out a piercing scream, and from the shadow there were countless monstrous beasts that pounced wildly on the surrounding magicians.

Yuri pulled the heavy greatsword from behind his back, and the black mirror light on his chest cast a light on the blade, causing the blade to burn with a raging black flame.

"Don't die anymore, Benalis!"

The Black Flame Giant Sword sliced through the body of the evil beast, and dozens of evil beasts split into two under the sunlight and turned into dust.

Virgy flicked open his monocle with his middle finger, clasped a stack of rune cards to his fingertips, and flew the fireball runes into the beast's mouth as it opened its huge jaw and bit the headmaster.

In the next second, the beast was burned to ashes like a paper cut.

Eventually, the aurora flourished, and the intense light pressure completely pressed the dark shadow away from the body, and at the same time made the transparent soul coincide with the physical body. The pitch-black shadow that broke away from the body opened its empty eyes and large mouth, and let out a terrifying piercing scream and quickly fell, and was finally completely inhaled by the crystal bottle directly below, turning into a pool of pitch-black shallow liquid.

And the girl was like a feather, gently falling into the wild rose bush that suddenly bloomed in the magic array.

The storm that raged just now also quietly stopped.

Mr. Freud channeled the flickering sparks of crystals in his hands into the earth, and then straightened up and walked forward, picking up the sleeping maiden among the roses.

The girl slowly opened her eyes, as if she had not seen the sun for a long time, and her eyes were stung by the not strong afternoon sun.

"Here...... Where is it? What the hell is wrong with me?" the girl looked at the gray-haired old man in front of her in confusion.

"Alright, it's all right, girl. Can you tell me your name?"

"My name is Layla. The girl looked away shyly, "It's a gardener who lives in Holy Thorn City. ”

Mr. Floyd laughed heartily, picked up the crystal bottle on the ground and threw it at Yuri.

Then he said proudly, "As I said, since Benalisa can take the seeds of darkness planted in the depths of Flora's heart, then I can also make Benalis's dark consciousness leave Layla." And it worked!"

Yuri frantically swung it in the air three times before finally holding it up, and he couldn't imagine what kind of catastrophe this bottle of black liquid that had been swirling in the dark swirl would be caused if it were overturned on the spot.

So Yuri roared, "Hey, be careful, old man! The bottle contains a real witch!"

In the early autumn of 3031 in the Bright Calendar, in the eastern forest area of the Khadria Continent, the common hometown of the Sun Elves and the Moon Elves, a grand war of scale comparable to the Light and Darkness War broke out, known as the "Third Elven War".

The right-hand man of the dark god Knox, one of the Elder Witches, the Night Witch Benalis, who represents desire, was sealed in the abyss of the Moon Elf capital of Muntia during the war of light and darkness three thousand years ago, and was trapped by the magnificent barrier of the blue blue.

It wasn't until the power of the seal weakened more than a decade ago that Benalis's consciousness eroded the mind of the Moon Elf Regent, who was in the throes of bereavement, and tricked him into using the dark resurrection ritual to turn a human girl named Layla into a carrier of Benalis's evil consciousness, so that the witch obtained an entity and descended on the land of the Elven Kingdom.

After ten years of planning, the regent uses the power of the witch to set off a large-scale war that overturns the world. However, the war ended with the combined efforts of Yuri, his allies, and many other forces, and in the end, Benaryse lost most of her strength and was captured by the "Spirit Wind Knight Arlan", one of the Seven Holy Horsemen.

And at Yuri's kind insistence, he was saved from the calamity of total destruction, and instead handed over to the magicians to perform the ritual of soul separation, return Layla's body to Layla, and let the soul of the witch full of sin be completely stripped away.

During the war, Yuri finally learns that the murderer of his beloved Teacher Qiao Luya is the leader of the Knights of Light, the "Divine Knight".

But Yuri's strength is too far from the enemy's, and even if he uses all his strength, he still can't leave even a single scar on his armor.

With tears in his eyes, Yuri shouted to Arlan, "Aren't you a friend of Teacher Qiaoluya, please tell me how I can defeat the Divine Knight!"

The winged human maiden knight Arlan gently flicked the evening breeze with her feathers, and the general sunset was reflected in her eyes: "The Divine Knight is the most good at defense, even if I am known for my agility, although I can fight him evenly, the real situation is that I don't have enough strength to hurt him, and he can't catch up with my dodge pace." ”

"Isn't that ...... There's no way!" Yuri clenched his fists in anger and cracked the rock formations beneath his feet, his red hair burning like fire in the rays of the sun.

Arlan raised his eyebrows slightly, and said softly, "But there are people who can deal with the Divine Knights." She is also one of the Seven Paladins, a follower of Kane, the god of war, and is a dwarven race, known as the 'Mekshon Knight', and named Atayal. ”

"Is that the name you mentioned when you fought the Divine Knight?" Yuri's eyes widened in shock.

Arlan smiled calmly: "Mekhanite Knight Tya is the strongest mechanic who can create a sharp sword to pierce it no matter how strong the shield is. ”

Yuri said excitedly, "Please take me to her." ”
