High School of Demon Hunting

Chapter 2355: Chapter 576: 1 to 13

Countless arms extended from beneath the robe, sprawling like a lush banyan tree stretching in the night. These arms varied in thickness and length, most were empty-handed, except for the two strongest arms on the sides of the body, holding the law book and the wooden staff.

But this doesn’t mean those arms are useless.

”...om...aum...paragatê (offering)...fm’latgh (burning)...’ai (summon)...bing...ebuman (trap)...n’ghft (darkness)...lin...n’gha (death)...dou...ne...ba...all...”

Muddy and hoarse sounds echoed across the battlefield, Walter’s spread arms pinching out ancient spells, chanting incantations mixed with various schools and beliefs. Chaos and harmony fused perfectly at that moment, shaking the magical power across all directions, gathering evil and powerful auras one after another.

Boom!

Boom! Boom!

Multicolored spell lights rolled and flowed in the sky, bizarre and fantastic, the three big wizards of the school revealed their true forms too, with a fiery dragon, a white angel, and a purple centipede, three massive figures were pinned like reefs next to and in front of Walter’s eerie and gigantic figure, akin to three bright stars of different colors in the night sky, emitting dazzling brilliance not inferior in the slightest.

Above the young wizards’ heads, that golden mountain shadow did not fall directly under the spell light’s assault, but the mere brush of edge already made it hum, vaguely showing signs of disintegration.

”Has this old demon just successfully ascended?” Hilda rubbed the bronze ring in his ear, watching the rolling spell lights in the sky, mumbling, ”This intensity... this intensity...”

”This degree, should belong to a top-tier big wizard now.” The captain of the Red Training Hunting Team muttered gravely.

”Impossible!” another teaching assistant exclaimed with disbelief, ”Before coming here, we retrieved Walter’s files from the school’s divination group, it was just a month ago, he was still just a registered wizard level!”

”But it is unmistakable, he has already forged a complete true form.”

Thomas took a step forward, seemingly wanting to see clearer: ”If you observe carefully, you’ll find that the tail and four claws of the fire dragon, the wings of that angel statue, and half the body of the centipede are still in virtual state, after being attacked by spell light, they emit blurred magical fluctuations... yet Walter’s true form is condensed and real, every arm, every eyeball, even that tattered robe, all real, without the slightest fantastical appearance.”

”Is it possible? In a month, forge a complete true form...”

”It is possible.” a voice suddenly spoke.

Almost everyone instinctively turned to look at the speaker, Zheng Qing did too, and then he realized, the speaker was the diviner of his own hunting team.

Although Xiao Xiao was the shortest among all present, at this moment, he received the highest attention. Holding his thick hardcover notebook, he adjusted his glasses, speaking slowly but clearly, ”As long as there’s ample casting materials prepared beforehand, assisted by advanced alchemy skills, then it’s possible to forge a complete true form while achieving the big wizard status... ancient Buddhist monks often used this method when condensing their golden bodies.”

”However,” he paused here, then started again: ”Using this shortcut will lock the possibility of going further. In other words, true forms concentrated with external objects have no chance to glimpse the legendary realm... Anyone who ascends into the big wizard territory naturally wouldn’t choose this plan, they would rather use magic power over long years to slowly polish out a true form that better fits themselves.”

”Such... such things, how do you know!” The Fat Wizard gingerly poked the Doctor’s back, voicing the doubts in many people’s hearts.

”Heard about it.” Xiao Xiao explained nonchalantly.

”I somewhat understand the choice of this Black Wizard now.” Hilda clicked his tongue, breaking the crowd’s focus on his student, he rubbed the bronze pin on his lip, thoughtfully saying: ”For many wizards with poor aptitude — like our Mr. Waterlei whose aptitude isn’t considered good — achieving big wizard status is already grateful to the heavens, achieving the complete true form only available to top-tier big wizards is simply unattainable... For wizards like him, the road was originally cut off... Besides, though this true form is not gradually condensed using magic power, it doesn’t hinder it possessing the combat power of top-tier big wizards.”

Crack!

Crack! Crack!

Heavy breaking sounds slowly and clearly echoed in every wizard’s ear. Thomas looked up, finally taking one last glance at the web-like cracks covering the golden mountain shadow overhead, then withdrew his gaze, looking around.

”Prepare for second rank deployment each.” He briefly ordered: ”In a battlefield like this, ordinary registered wizards have little chance to intervene, only true forms of second rank battle arrays might help the professors a little... Receive your blessings from heaven, guard your life!”

He patted Zheng Qing’s shoulder, offering a simple blessing.

”Receive your blessings from heaven, guard your life!”

All wizards lowered their heads, chanting this blessing together. Then swiftly dispersed, forming three hunting teams, spreading out to construct their respective battle formations. Orange-red, light blue, and golden scarlet magic envelopes rose instantly, like three blazing campfires. On the other two sides of the battlefield, almost simultaneously, another seven ’flames’ ignited.

Crackle!

Crash!

The golden mountain’s illusory shadow shattered with a roar, its scattered fragments like falling meteors blazing across the sky. Ten giant forms, slightly smaller than the true forms of the big wizards, rose abruptly, attacking the black figure like a tree together. Spell lights ebbed slightly, and behind them the voices of the big wizards resounded.

”Heehehehehehehe...”

Walter’s strange and sharp laughter spread out: ”Indeed it’s the school’s usual cowardly style... Beat the small ones, and then come the old ones; beat one, then come a bunch... Always bullying the small with the big, bullying the few with the many.”

”You can call others too,” the huge Fire Dragon circled in the sky, laughing coldly, ”as many as you can call, we’ll take them all.”

This remark instantly rendered the Black Wizard silent.

After all, no wizard organization could compare to First University in sheer numbers, whether low-tier wizards, or high-tier wizards, the school always maintained absolute advantage.

It silently lowered half its arms, pinching out one dazzling spell after another, releasing powerful magical spells to resist attacks from the equivalent of thirteen great wizards, simultaneously raising the other half of its arms, extending sharp index fingers, crossing them, slicing open blood vessels on the wrists.

Bright red blood immediately surged out.
