The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 448 Dawn Society
Moran was also at a loss: "Unless their master comes to order them to retreat, or many mutated black death tree fruits appear in all directions, attracting them away."

Neither of these two scenarios is feasible.

They are left to roam freely here because they have fallen far behind their master in strength, have little value in being trained, and are in a semi-abandoned state. Witches simply don't come to visit them often.

The fruits of the mutated black dead tree have already been eaten by Spicy Hotpot, Nick, and Kaba, so a second one cannot be planted in the short term.

Even Moran's Book of Cards couldn't create material cards for mutated plants cultivated by alien magic.

"Since we can't stop it, let's take some photos!" Vasita took out her camera, flew into the sky, and snapped photos of the battlefield below from all directions.

Moran immediately took out a video recorder. It would be a shame if Kaba couldn't see such a large-scale battle between undead creatures.

It is still asleep, digesting the baby fruit, and won't wake up anytime soon.

She had no choice but to take the photos as teaching material for Kaba's future battles.

Although she doesn't plan to train Kaba for combat right now, that doesn't mean she won't train him in the future!

As Kaba's energy level increases and it learns more skills, it will eventually need to develop self-defense capabilities.

The battle lasted for a full day and night before it subsided.

At the beginning, there were countless undead creatures; after the event, only limbs and skeletons remained on the ground.

All the beast-shaped ghosts were eliminated, becoming nourishment for the souls of other undead creatures.

Not all the zombies and skeletons are dead, but none of them can get up anymore.

Upon discovering that some zombies and skeletons had survived, Lilith was overjoyed: "It's time for us to make our move! Moran, you take the skeletons, and Vasita and I will handle the zombies!"

This time, we don't even need to provide corpse materials; there are already zombies and skeletons everywhere to repair it.

"Hmm!" Moran certainly wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity to practice.

The three witches thoroughly searched the entire battlefield of undead creatures, rescuing any that were not yet completely dead and scattering them into the Black Forest to prevent them from fighting again so soon.

After this battle, the number of undead creatures in the vicinity decreased significantly, but those that survived benefited greatly, absorbing the spirituality of other undead creatures. At the very least, they became mid-level undead creatures, and some even became high-level undead creatures.

"Finally finished!" Vasita straightened up and cast a cleansing spell on herself.

These past few days, she's been rummaging through corpses and skeletons every day, and she feels like she's being pickled by the rotting bodies.

"After this, I shouldn't have to worry about not being able to fix Nick's injury anymore," Lilith breathed a sigh of relief.

"Vashida, Lilith, dinner's ready!"

At the camp entrance, Moran shouted using a megaphone.

She had already repaired all the surviving skeletons and begun cultivating her own mutated Black Death Tree.

“We’re back!” Lilith and Vasita replied.

After the meal, Moran said, "Everyone should meditate and recover. We'll leave here at four o'clock this afternoon."

Now that their Death Servants are complete, and Sylph's mutated Black Death Tree is also complete, there's no reason to stay any longer.

While the Sleeping Potion can put someone into a deep sleep, it also has the effect of restoring the body.

Greta's prolonged slumber and rapid recovery made it difficult for them to carry out their plans. This was part of their original plan, and Lilith, Vasita, and Sylph had no objections.

Everyone went back to meditate, packed their things, and set off promptly at four o'clock.

Lilith controlled the flying carpet, carrying Vasita and Sylph.

Moran had a small tent on her flying carpet. She sat in the small space in front of the tent, just big enough for one person, and flew behind Lilith.

The two flying carpets finally came together after they reached the tree where Greta had fainted.

Moran crawled into the tent and floated the sleeping Greta out.

Greta has been under Moran's care, and Lilith and the others haven't seen her for quite some time.

Seeing her like this, I couldn't help but be surprised: "How could she..."

Greta reverted to her weakened state, now invaded by the power of death.

"I've kept the windows of the small tent open for the past two days, so as not to block out the power of death. This will make things easier for what to do next."

Moran put Greta back in her original spot under the tree, even restoring her black robe to its original state as when Moran first saw her.

Although Lilith, Vasita, and Sylph had read Moran's contractor recruitment plan and the design ideas for the Dawn Academy cards, they still didn't know how she planned to test Greta, and they all looked at her curiously.

Moran glanced at his watch; when it was 4:30, he gave Greta the antidote to the sleeping potion.

She fainted here around the same time.

Although Moran allowed the power of death to invade her body beforehand, Greta's body is actually in much better condition now than when she was first discovered, thanks to the restorative effects of the sleeping potion.

After being given the antidote to the sleeping potion, Greta woke up slowly not long after.

Greta had no idea that she had been asleep for several days and had been taken in by several witches.

When she woke up, she found herself still weak, but she no longer had that dizzy, near-death feeling. It was a bit strange until she suddenly noticed a thin, foreign object in her hand. Upon closer inspection, she saw it was a black card with gold patterns: "{Dawn Academy Trial Invitation}?"

what is this?
Greta doesn't remember ever having such a thing.

Could this be why I woke up?
Just as he was thinking this, the card in his hand transformed into a real letter.

Are you currently in darkness, yet refusing to succumb to fate and striving to find a way out?

The Dawn Academy invites you to participate in a trial. If you pass the trial, the Academy's magical knowledge, materials, items, and skills will be available to you.

Here, there are no gods or mortals, no nobles or commoners, and not even racial distinctions. Everyone can earn their due rewards through their own efforts.

We accept everyone who, like us, is in darkness yet clings to the dawn.

We have trekked through darkness, and now we stand at dawn. We pledge to the breaking of the day, and we will forge our own path of breakthrough into a road sign, guiding those who come after us to the glorious dawn.

If you are willing to accept the trial, become one of us, and promise not to reveal anything about the Dawn Society regardless of whether you succeed or fail in the trial, then sign your name here! The trial card will provide you with a way to escape your current predicament.

—Moran, a navigator at the Dawn Society
