High School of Demon Hunting

Chapter 2900: Chapter 1119: Primordial, Activate!

Though standing right in front of the altar, Zheng Qing discovered that, as Korma vanished from his field of view, the altar would simultaneously disappear without a trace.

This is probably a privilege reserved for the controller.

Positioned slightly behind the witch, he turned his head subtly, experimenting with his newfound pattern and curiously questioning, "——Do we have accompanying alchemists?"

Elder Ruoyu hadn’t mentioned this before.

The fact that there was a team of accompanying guards had already surprised him—Old Yao wasn’t known for stuffing that many ’personal attendants’ in his sleeves when he went out!

But, that said, he and Korma weren’t truly Legendary Wizards.

Judging by the scale and establishment of this control center, and the accommodation area purposely reserved for attendants upon its design, having a few alchemists or pharmacists didn’t seem so peculiar after all.

"Just as a group of small fish catches insects around the Water-shunning Golden-eyed Beast, several Green Birds follow Tanggula Ice Chi to clean its Scale Armor, a wealthy young master is never without attendants or followers. The crumbs of resources from the fingers of a ’high-level existence’ can satisfy the needs of many low-level existences. This kind of ’following’ relationship is prevalent and necessary in the entire world. Both parties form a sort of ’weak symbiotic’ relationship in a sense."

Korma’s tone carried a touch of sarcasm, as she raised her head, looking at the hovering Battle Dress in the center above the altar with slightly bright eyes: "——If you have mastered ’Primordial’ or ’Taiyi,’ you have grasped vast resources that most wizards in this world cannot aspire to their whole lives. Having a few accompanying alchemists, even if a Nymph Dance Troupe or a team of Mermaids were to weave Shark Silk for you every day, is not a difficult feat."

Zheng Qing glanced thoughtfully at the witch.

Being from the North District, she likely harbored deep resentment toward relationships like ’followers’ or ’weak symbiotic.’ Yet, after becoming the North District Grand-Wizard, the Dean of the Peripheral College, and the controller of the ’Primordial,’ while offering greater security to the Northern District Wizards, she also became the kind of person she used to dislike the most.

These complex emotions might be the reason for her currently slightly excited state.

——Mr. Ruo Yu could reach the furthest point only at the corridor’s end; while your endpoint is right at the altar’s foot.

Korma glanced back at Zheng Qing, and for some reason, he found her gaze especially unfamiliar. Yet, before he could look closely again, the witch withdrew her gaze: "Therefore, following this, I’m very sorry..."

She didn’t continue.

Instead, she raised her leg, stepping onto the first tier of green stone steps, stirring the thin mist coiling around the altar, which suddenly startled awake, like boiling water, starting to churn and scatter violently.

The witch walked steadily.

A step, two steps, three steps.

In the blink of an eye, she had already ascended the third tier of the altar, standing beneath that Battle Dress.

Perhaps because no additional protective measures were needed, compared to Zheng Qing’s ’battle robe,’ Korma’s Battle Dress looked more like a wizard’s robe cloak, with a large collar, broad hood, hem reaching to the ankles, and a delicate, slender belt—if not for the bizarrely styled heavy Dragon Skin Armor embedded at its chest, shoulder, and elbow, it looked almost similar to the robes of the hunters at First University.

Even in terms of luxury, this Battle Dress wasn’t as sumptuous as those of the young wizards on the island.

Korma stared at the Battle Dress for a long time, then raised her hand, extracting a silver knife from her pocket, slashing across her palm, instantly spilling a splash of fresh blood, which gathered into a ball, under the witch’s intense gaze, slowly stretched into a line, like a soaring Blood Flood Dragon, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, flying towards the Battle Dress.

Silently blending within.

Leaving a blood-red personal mark on its bare chest armor.

The Battle Dress suddenly glowed brightly, causing Zheng Qing to involuntarily lift a hand to shield himself momentarily, as the brilliance faded, he lowered his hand, finding the Battle Dress had already appeared on Korma.

Strands appearing seemingly illusory yet distinctly substantial, extended towards the Battle Dress from various corners of the void, adorning it like a peacock flaunting its tail, instantly transforming the ordinary Battle Dress into something exquisite.

Korma raised her hands before her eyes, thoroughly examining her palms, filled with amazement.

Zheng Qing wasn’t in the mood to concern himself with her amazement.

He was cautiously kneeling on the square, limbs on the ground, head raised, observing the suddenly violently trembling open square, feeling rather at a loss, fearing the vast, weighty Starry Sky atop the dome might crash down on him.

...

...

Outside the open square.

Cloud Sea World.

Doctor Du Zemu stood on the terrace atop Lotus Peak, clutching the stone railing, intensely leaning forward, eager to observe the silent ’Primordial’ in the distance.

Today is the day the Primordial activates.

Early in the morning, wizards from different branches of the project group began gradually withdrawing from their respective work areas in pairs and threes. Simultaneously, groups of wizards dressed in various robe colors gathered from all corners of this world, congregating under this Lotus Peak, with mingled auras stretching from the mountain foot to the summit, making the once spacious summit terrace now accessible only to Great Wizard level existences.

Du Zemu was a key member of the project group, hence granted special permission.

The evacuation took nearly twelve hours.

Fortunately, there are two moons in the sky, keeping the world perpetually bright, whether day or night. The key difference being the daytime light is cheerful and mild, while the nighttime light is bone-chilling cold.

Due to undergoing certain degrees of body modification, Du Zemu was somewhat insensitive to external temperature changes, repeatedly needing to extract his pocket watch to check the time to judge the progression of the launch plan today.

"——The eligible person begins ascending the mountain!"

A slightly sharp voice echoed above Lotus Peak, persistently warning the observing crowd: "The launch plan has entered the countdown phase... Please refrain from making noise, causing disturbances, or flying, violators will be immediately expelled from Lotus Peak... Please move strictly in accordance with respective routes and avoid approaching the ’Primordial’ on your own... To prevent magical backlash during the Primordial test, refrain from using divination or monitoring type magic..."

A slew of prohibitory instructions, started since the eligible person ’climbed the mountain,’ were read and continued until she entered the ’cave,’ seemingly still with an unfinished air.

"——The eligible person steps onto the ’Heavenly Road’!"

"——The eligible person enters the control center!"

"——The eligible person has donned the Battle Dress, commencing neural linkage... Neural linkage status normal, control monitoring data normal! Eligible person’s mental fluctuation stable, Primordial’s various port data response normal, magic power flow normal..."
