From Hogwarts to Strixhaven.

Chapter 361 Mushrooms on the Corpse
"…Liliana wrote in the last chapter of her journal that she had lost a very important spellbook."

Komina was still chatting with Ivy about Liliana Vess, the young planeswalker who had studied at Strixhaven.

"Maybe it's a trap." Ivy gave a fair evaluation.

"Why?" Kemina was puzzled.

"Do you want to find that magic book?" Ivy did not answer directly, but asked a question.

"Of course! It's a Planeswalker's magic book! Maybe she has recorded knowledge from many other time and space in it!" Kemina said as a matter of course.

"If that's the case, why would she study at Mihua College?" Ivy asked.

"That spellbook might be an evil magic prop of Liliana Vess, used to protect her soul after her death. As long as someone carelessly flips through the book, her soul will occupy a young body and complete her resurrection." Ivy described a conspiracy that looked very familiar.

"...Isn't that possible?" Kemina began to waver. "Who would start making magic tools for resurrection when they were still in school? Even you, you just look young..."

"I have met such a person before," Ivy thought of Voldemort as a matter of course. "When he was fifteen, he created the first Horcrux that could be used for resurrection. Unfortunately, his technique was too clumsy. In the end, because of this inappropriate method, he became neither a human nor a ghost. In the end, he was driven to despair and was killed by me."

"...Aqaivivo is a completely different dimension. Your experience doesn't have much reference value to offer..." Kemina was still reluctant to give up the spellbook of a Planeswalker.

"Okay." Ivy nodded, "I'll give you another powerful reason."

Kemina clenched the staff in her hand and looked at Ivy nervously.

"Who would write a diary if they were serious?" Ivy said matter-of-factly. "Who can write down their true feelings in a diary? Can what they write still be called their true feelings?"

Kemina rolled her eyes and was about to say something when she suddenly heard a muffled sound coming from deep in the swamp.

"It looks like someone has met with an accident." Ivy turned and looked in the direction of the sound. "It's the little elephant. Wait here. I'll be back soon."

Kemina originally planned to suggest going to the rescue together, but before she could say anything, she found that Ivy had disappeared from the spot. There was no spiritual light emitted when any spell was activated, and it could even be said that there was no sign at all.

"What kind of magic is this..." Kemina muttered to herself in amazement.

Apparition, of course.

Unlike the strong magic suppression in the world of Arda, Akaivivo not only did not restrict Ivy's magic, but even helped him strengthen it in some aspects. The elemental magic here was so active that Ivy didn't even need to perform the [Elemental Prayer] every morning. He only needed to communicate with the power of the elements when needed, and he could temporarily transform his essence into a corresponding element.

Ivy had never thought that using an elemental body to transfer through space would be such an easy thing in Akaivivo.

As the flames exploded, Ivy appeared in the center of the battlefield in an instant.

He turned his head to observe the situation. Although the six students looked disheveled, they had no obvious external injuries.

Bastion, the captain, was standing on a small tree made of vines. It seemed that the armor on his body was seriously slowing him down, so he had to use this method to avoid the negative effects of the swamp.

The other students were scattered around the edge of the battlefield, covered in mud and hiding next to dead branches and aquatic plants.

The multi-headed lizard burned by Ivy's grand appearance let out an angry roar, and moved its many heads to bite Ivy together.

Ivy raised his hands, and the waves of flame that had once swept across the battlefield burst out again, roaring and pushing back the multi-headed lizard, and killing almost half of the heads on its neck.

This is an ice cone whose damage type has been changed by the [Awakening Grimoire].

After Ivy was reminded by Ogeta, who assigned him the task, he looked up some information about the multi-headed lizard as a monster in advance.

This creature has an unexpectedly strong healing ability. If you cut off one head, two will grow back. If you can't stop its self-healing, you must kill the entire hydra at once.

As a wild beast that is always driven by hunger, this monster has only two states: eating and sleeping. The nutritional reserves in its body are like a bottomless abyss with no end in sight.

Fortunately, the regeneration of the hydra can be prevented by simply using flames to burn its wounds.

Therefore, the moment Ivy saw the giant multi-headed lizard in front of him, he used the fire damage ice cone that had undergone the ring-raising spell effect and the extreme spell super magic.

The scorching flames of the flames had clearly worked, and Ivy once again gathered his magic power, ready to put an end to the beast's life in a swift and painful manner.

"Be careful! Professor Doom!" Fortress standing on the vines warned, "Its regeneration ability is extremely strong! It can even break through the blockade of fire damage!"

Before Ivy could cast his next spell, the hydra leaped out of the flames. Its yellow-green scales had fallen off under the burning of the high temperature flames, but the damaged skin and flesh underneath were recovering rapidly, and pink tender flesh grew out almost instantly.

Those charred heads had been torn off their necks by the hydra itself, and new heads were growing wildly from the broken ends, which were even more terrifying than the vigorous weeds.

Ivy saw clearly that what flowed out of the wound of the multi-headed lizard was not blood, but a black-purple liquid that looked extremely viscous. With just one glance, he could confirm that the multi-headed lizard in front of him was not a natural product, but had been induced and transformed by some kind of magic.

Since this hydra is not afraid of fire, there is no need to use fire spells in this swamp with thick moisture.

Ivy's figure disappeared again, leaving the furious multi-headed lizard empty-handed.

Fortunately, the monster in front of him only had a fast regeneration ability, and almost no defense and long-range attack methods. Its melee attack methods could only be described as poor, otherwise it would be really tricky. When Ivy appeared again, he was already far away. He carefully counted the heads of the multi-headed lizards and found that the number did not match the number of broken necks.

Normally, a multi-headed lizard would automatically grow two new heads where its head was broken, but the loss of half of its head at once had already reduced the monster's ability to recover. Ivy found that at least three sections had only one head growing out of them, which seemed to indicate that it had not eaten enough before, and the stored nutrients were not enough to keep up with the consumption of growing a new head.

Ivy did not intend to use extremely difficult spells to resolve the battle, but efficiency and speed were still points he had to consider.

So without much hesitation, he drew out his Elf Curved Sword from the Grimoire of Destruction.

As a world with few goblins and orcs, the racial knight sword is not very useful. However, as a sword master, like Hercules, cutting off many heads of Hydra, the beast bite sword can still do it. After all, the multi-headed lizard does not have thick and hard scales like Smaug.

Ivy's palm brushed across the snow-white blade, and the flames brought by the various elemental effects immediately began to flicker on the crescent-shaped blade of the Beast Bite Sword.

In Ivy's mystical vision, the Beast Bite Sword now looked like a colorful torch, emitting a powerful and complex aura.

The dazzling sword body disappeared in an instant, and the sound of cutting rang out five times in a row. The multi-headed lizard lost five heads in the blink of an eye. The fifth-ring spell Steel Wind Strike brought the Beast Bite Sword and Ivy to the opposite side of the multi-headed lizard and collided face to face with the multi-headed monster.

The head that survived the attack ignored the pain from the body and just started to bite madly.

However, in front of a sword master, attacks based solely on biological instincts are basically impossible to hit, and will instead lead to fatal counterattacks.

None of the heads that stretched out towards Ivy actually touched him. Instead, they were easily removed from his neck by him like chopping melons and vegetables.

The eternally hungry monster knows no fear, and until the last head falls to the ground, it still dreams of filling its insatiable appetite.

As a supernatural monster, the most dangerous ability of the Hydra is the multiple attacks launched by its multiple heads. It can launch gnawing attacks equal to the number of its heads in one attack round. Warriors who are not skilled enough but try to challenge it will most likely be exhausted by the sharp teeth of its multiple heads and eventually die on the spot.

Moreover, its multiple heads have independent reaction capabilities, and can make opportunity attacks on enemies passing by.

The steel wind attack teleported Ivy to its side, and the close distance immediately led to the counterattack of the multi-headed lizard. However, the advantage of multiple heads became a burden at this time, and all the attacks that failed to hit it became its death warrant. Under the sword master's elven curved sword, no one could survive.

The battle lasted only a short time.

The Turi student who fell face first into the swamp didn't even know when Ivy arrived at the battlefield, let alone discovered that he had chopped off all the heads of the multi-headed lizards in an instant.

"Oh..." Ivy's sword was too fast. Bastion, who had witnessed everything, didn't even have the chance to sigh. He could only make up for it after the battle, "Magic and swordsmanship... this is too exaggerated... I even suspect that I haven't woken up yet... If the people in the military academy saw it, they would definitely ask you to be the principal..."

"It's still alive... at least it's not completely dead yet..." Dina, with a head full of poisonous mushrooms, came over and reminded everyone present to pay attention to the headless corpse lying in the swamp. "It's still moving... the blood flowing from its wound is very similar to the blood of pests. There is a contradictory magic, life and corruption exist at the same time..."

Ivy looked at the tree spirit girl behind him, but couldn't recall her name from her memory, but her words undoubtedly aroused Ivy's interest.

"It sounds like it has great research value." Ivy squatted down and prepared to observe it carefully. After making sure there was no danger at all, he would take it back to the underground laboratory and soak it in salt water and preservatives.

The wound where Ivy cut off his head was still bleeding, and the broken muscle tissue was spasming and trembling, as if it was trying hard to find its own head, or anyone else's head.

After a period of futile attempts, the headless corpse that continued to ooze out black and purple viscous liquid finally gave up and returned to the quiet state of a normal corpse.

Just as Ivy was about to cast a spell to fish it out of the swamp and clean it up, the snake lizard, which had lost its vitality earlier, underwent a strange change in its head.

Ivy stepped back half a step alertly and reached out to stop the students who were about to go forward to check.

The heads of the lizards, which were covered in swamp mud, began to emit ominous black and purple light. The light came from the inside and was rapidly corroding the skin on the surface of the heads.

After the skin came flesh, then bones, and soon all that was left of the heads was a pile of smoking ash.

Then the same thing happened to the headless body of the multi-headed lizard. Although the whole process looked like smoldering charcoal, Ivy, who was standing next to it, could not feel any heat leakage.

In less than a minute, only a few piles of ashes remained in the swamp's sewage.

Then a magic that Ivy had never mastered before emerged from the ashes. It was the green mana that originated from the multiverse. Fungi and weak plants began to sprout in the ashes. Just like the spells that Mi Hua students often used to promote plant growth, a mushroom mountain that was larger than the size of the hydra lizard when it was alive appeared in the swamp.

There are so many different types of mushrooms above and in so many different colors that it’s hard to understand how it was formed.

The strange scene stunned everyone present.

At first, Ivy didn't think that having one less type of mana would have any impact on him. At least now, he suddenly wanted to try out the druid profession.

"They are all growing well..." The tree spirit Dina stood in front of the mushroom mountain, reached out and patted the cap of a giant mushroom, and some bright yellow spores fell from under the cap, which was similar in color to the cap.

"It's a gourmet mushroom, it tastes great and it's only slightly toxic."

Ivy didn't know whether the tree spirit was talking to himself or explaining science to the people around him. But as a prospective professor, he spoke out out of a sense of responsibility: "Everything that happened here is too weird. I will use magic to mark this place and wait for Strijhaven's further investigation. Spores and mushrooms have never been my domain. And I suggest you don't touch them or think about eating them. Think about it carefully, these mushrooms grew from the corpse of a disgusting monster."

"I'll be responsible for keeping an eye on them, Professor!" Bastion volunteered, jumping off the vines and splashing a large amount of sewage. "This is the duty of assisting the supervisor! The crates are also there, have we completed the task?"
