The venue for the secret meeting, half deep into the dense forest, is not a short distance from the academy, and it is deserted.

The monstrous and grotesque trees are intertwined, like the giant mouths, sharp teeth and magic eyes of monsters, forming many strange and terrifying images.

Nearly 30 students gathered in this clearing in the dense forest, all of them students from the Chaos Red development line. About 20 demonic cultists wearing demonic masks were also waiting here.

Among these demon cultists, there are actually 3 people wearing red robes, and they belong to the demon chief priests of the upper echelons of the order.

Russell could tell from his body, posture, and voice that one of the female demon priests was Nocturne.

Among the remaining black-robed cultists, seven or eight of them had obviously darker colors and more chic decorations, and they looked like they had a higher status, and Vermouth, which Russell recognized at a glance, was one of them.

"Sure enough, Nocturne is the main priest of the red-robed demon, the high-ranking of the order, and the third-year powerhouse; Vermouth belongs to the high-ranking group of black-robed cultists, the quasi-high-level of Chaos Red, and the second-grade elite. Below him, are the first-grade strength of ordinary disciples? According to the fantasy law that the lower the level, the more people there are, the number of first-grade strength ordinary cultists must be more than more than a ten, and the vast majority of them should not have come to this gathering? This kind of demon sect shouldn't have an unpopular rookie who is not strong enough at the beginning of the first grade, right? ”

Russell's thoughts diverged.

"Welcome, future Demon Sons ......" One of the red-robed priests, whom Russell was unfamiliar with, stepped forward and greeted the students with open arms.

"You have passed one test after another, and today, you will have the opportunity to pass the final test, step through the final door, and become a true member of our Chaos Red Order. Revel in this honor, roar! ”

Crazy shouts rang out among the students of the Demon Order.

The tall, red-robed priest wearing a demon mask paused for two seconds, and his voice became more fanatical:

"Plus, I'm going to give you a huge surprise.

"In today's entrance examination, the top 3 people selected will receive a secret gift from the Order!"

Gift?

Russell listened, and his hand quietly reached into the dimensional pocket.

In an extremely secret compartment in the dimensional waist bag, there are 3 high-level charms, each of which is equivalent to a spell cast by a mid-third year powerhouse, with a total value of nearly 50 house gold coins.

The Blazing Sun Charm, a gold-carved fingernail-sized charm, corresponds to the third-grade core class of the Elemental and Energy Department, "Radiance Studies".

More than half a year ago, when Russell dealt with the ghost incident of the clock tower and dealt with the red-robed demon priest, he had seen its brilliance.

Spell Charm, a piece of black rune paper with blood on it, corresponds to the third-year core class of the Necronomicon and Life Department - "Black Magic", also known as "Black Witchcraft".

This is a curse spell similar to the Head Lowering Technique, which can randomly grant 1 to 3 curses to the target. It can be released in person, or it can be used as a medium to inflict the curse on the target's blood, hair, etc.

The Transfiguration Charm, a cocoon that constantly wriggles and changes shape, corresponds to the third-year core class of the Transfiguration and Transformation Department - "Metamorphosis".

It can transform one creature into another. If it is used on an enemy who is involuntarily spelled, there is a certain chance that it will not be effective depending on the level of the target.

3 charms, both as a reward for Russell, and as a way for Russell to deal with threats, Opal gave him the hole cards on behalf of the school!

Thinking of this, a puzzle popped up in Russell's mind:

"Actually, I've wanted to complain for a long time, why does it seem that only our protagonist group is using consumables? Don't villains use consumables to fight a wave?

"Obviously, villains are more suitable for consumables - after all, some of them can only appear in one battle, and then they are killed or defeated, and there is no more drama."

He struggled to think of something that would justify himself.

For example, charms, while practical, are ultimately disposable consumables.

For example, the vast majority of transcendent items, if the level exceeds one's own level by one grade or more, forced use will have great consumption or serious side effects. At the beginning, Subway, who was in the late first grade, tried several times, and his spiritual energy was almost overdrawn, so he reluctantly activated the Blazing Sun Charm. If you want to use a spell to challenge you, there is a lot of restriction after all.

For example, talismans also have a strict shelf life, and after a certain period of time, the supernatural power inside will gradually be lost.

Therefore, the average transcendent, unless they have deep pockets, rarely hoards too precious charms. As for demons, supernatural monsters that usually don't have the ability to create transcendent items, let alone naturally.

Uh-huh, it must be so.

After reluctantly rounding out the setting, Russell turned his gaze to reality, looking at the red-robed priest who was giving a gushing speech in front of him.

I wonder what the test of officially joining Chaos Red will be?

Among the black-robed people at this time, Vermouth walked up to Russell, who was sitting on the grass, and cast an approving look at Russell behind the holes in the eyes of the demon mask.

"Russell, among this group of students, I am the most optimistic. You are simply a born child of demons, and I am sure that you will be able to become one of the best 3 people and receive the gift from the Order! Vermouth lowered her voice, but couldn't contain the excitement and ecstasy in her tone.

If the downline he cultivated performed well, he would also be rewarded!

"Of course, today is the day I dreamed of." A confident smile bloomed on Russell's face, "Sooner or later, one day, I will make the entire Chaos Red Order remember my name!" ”

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Before Russell could ask what the Valvis test was, he saw Vermouth turn and leave.

The three red-robed demon priests in front of them, including Nocturne, chanted obscure, mysterious, and corrupt incantations at the same time.

A thick white mist rose in layers, enveloping the students.

"The test will take place in a dream in which you will forget who you are, that you are participating in the test, and that you will react in the truest way.

"Let us see the darkness within you, future sons of demons."

Russell felt slightly sleepy, and his eyelids slowly sank.

Another dream test?

In his dreams, he couldn't use the spells in his dimensional belt, but that wasn't necessarily a bad thing for him.

Russell didn't try to resist the drowsiness, completely relaxed, and let himself fall asleep.

After successfully being promoted to the middle of the second year, his already extremely amazing mental resistance has been further improved, and it is already comparable to some fourth year students.

As a result, Russell was able to remain awake in supernatural dreams, realizing that he was dreaming!

Seeing that all the students were already asleep, a white hazy shadow appeared behind the nocturne, which was none other than one of her contract spirits, the Sleeping Demon.

And the other red-robed priest who was good at summoning also flipped his hand to summon an even larger sleeping demon.

Two illusory and hazy white phantoms floated above the students' heads, weaving dreams.
