From Hogwarts to Strixhaven.

Chapter 371 Reinforcements
No one expected that the Sorrowful Demon could inherit the splitting characteristics of the Slime Monster.

The shattered Infinity Demon Titan was no longer tall, but each of its parts had become an independent individual again.

These smaller demons had just completed the reorganization and regeneration of their bodies and could not wait to start eating.

Their target was the same as that of the previous Infinity Titan: the thick black mana that permeated the ruins of Seirun and the piles of bones in the moat.

After their body sizes changed, the organs used by these Sorrow-Devouring Demons for eating obviously became smaller, but the advantage brought by numbers made the efficiency of these evil demons several times higher than before.

"I've never heard of the Sorrowful Titan having this characteristic..." Ambose coughed weakly. Although he managed to dodge the full force attack of the Sorrowful Titan by using a spell to change his body shape, his current condition was still not good.

"Is this really summoned by Mogaso?" Valentine stared at the Sad Devouring Demon not far away with his hollow right eye. "Have we underestimated him? Can those students complete the mission?"

"There's nothing we can do except trust them." Ivy originally planned to throw a meteor blast to try, but the previous time-stop blast flow failed to cause fatal damage to the Devouring Demon Titan. What if the meteor blast smashed out a bunch of smaller ones?
"Mogaso would never summon a limbless demon titan. These creatures have the habit of sharing dark knowledge with others through contracts, just to create greater pain." Ambers shook his head. "If Mogaso's ritual spell really came from this limbless demon, then all the teachers and students in the academy are in danger..."

"We can't let these guys continue to absorb the magic power from the earth veins. Otherwise, even if we wait for reinforcements, we may not be able to win." Ivy said, "Next, we should try more restrictive spells to slow down the growth of these evil demons."

"This is the only way," Ambose tried to control his shaking body, "I hope Kemina can find the founding dragon... Shatiz Silverhair only needs to use his breath to deal with these evil demons."

As soon as Ambers finished speaking, floating white feathers appeared not far away. That was the scene when Kemina activated the teleportation spell.

"Where are the reinforcements?" Valentine asked impatiently, "Have you found the Dragon of Creation?"

"The Founding Dragon?" Kemina clenched her staff nervously. "Does this monster actually require the Founding Dragon?"

"Anyway, the deans will be here soon. Chaos Dean Pag has gone to gather the Dragon Guards, and the others will arrive via the teleportation spell of Theory Dean Inbahan."

The changing fractal pattern flickered in the air. It looked like a vortex structure composed of three cantilevers, each of which was composed of countless light blue triangles with self-similar structures.

The vortex continued to expand and soon turned into a portal leading to Strijhaven. Seven deans came together to eradicate the scourge of the Sorrowful Demon.

Without any greetings or inspiring speeches, Anbosi, the director of the Dark Cinema, quickly explained the current situation, and then asked the deans to use their magical powers to trap or destroy the already split Demon of Sorrow.

In the mana color wheel, the opponent colors of black mana are white and green, which means that the dean, who is good at using this type of magic, will be the main force in this battle.

Dean Shayir flapped her wings and flew up, showing her singing voice to all the lives on this land. The dazzling golden light continued to transform into notes as she sang, sinking into the bodies of the deans to provide unique protection.

The white mana that was good at healing and protection was still suppressed by the surging black mana of the Shield Ruins. Just like Ivy's Radiant Patronus, Shayir had to fall back to the ground halfway through singing.

Although Dean Huiguang’s song was not fully showcased, it still played a certain role.

The deans who had originally had solemn expressions all relaxed their brows and gained enough confidence and courage for this joint battle.

Ogotta, the headmaster of the White Order, was also not idle. Just like Ambose's tactics before, she summoned many spirits from the past history of the earth. These white heroes in shining armor had fought to death here. In order to ensure their own undisturbed peace, they would fight side by side with the heads of Strijhaven.

"Where are the students?" asked the Root Dean Lisette loudly. She was a dean who used green mana and was also a very young looking female human.

"I sent them to stop Mogasso in the underground of the Seidun ruins." Ivy took the time to answer, "Maybe we can find a volunteer to help."

"Leave it to me," said Dean Uveda, a water elemental who uses blue mana and ice magic. "My magic can't help much here. Ice can hardly hinder the demon's movements."

When Dean Wuweida of the Diligence Department left, Dean Qi Anni of the Matter Department, a middle-aged mage wearing glasses and exuding a scholarly temperament, also began to prepare her own spells. While throwing leaves and seeds on the surrounding land, she asked: "Besides delaying these Sorrow Devouring Demons, do we have any other tactics? How can we eliminate them?"

"The Founding Dragon!" Nasari the Fire Giant shouted without hesitation, "Who else can we rely on? They haven't come out for too long! The last time I saw Galazer Prili was fifty years ago!"

"The founding dragon has already taught us the Strixhaven, we should at least try to deal with it," Ogotta shook her head disapprovingly, "There are nine deans and a new professor here!"

"I don't know when I became a regular employee." Ivy raised his eyebrows.

"You have to be promoted!" Ogeta smiled. "As soon as I got here, I noticed that the structure of time and space had changed. You must have used some kind of large-scale magic, right? Maybe you stopped time or something? No dean has ever been able to do this easily."

"Stop time? No wonder you suddenly appeared on top of that monster's head and dropped so many things at once..." Valentine muttered, and then shouted to remind his colleagues around him, "One of them is coming towards us! Who can help!"

Ogeta's spirit soldiers were forming a battle formation, fighting against another Sorrow-Devouring Demon not far away. The one Valentine mentioned came out from the ruins of the magnificent fortress summoned by Ivy and had not been seen by others before.

"Leave it to me!" shouted Qi Annie, the dean of the Materials School, who had sown the seeds and leaves in advance.

She clapped her hands, and a thick and large shadow suddenly jumped out from the ground in front of the deans. Looking closely, it turned out to be a bare tree trunk.

The tree trunk grew diagonally, at least as thick as five people could hug together, and it rammed into the flying Devouring Sorrow Demon like a battering ram. In just one encounter, the shrunken Devouring Sorrow Demon was violently knocked away, as helpless as a time traveler who had encountered a complete disaster.

The thick tree trunk stood straight and slanted in the ground, becoming another landmark in the ruins.

Perhaps seeing the surprised look on Ivy's face, Qi Anni pushed her glasses up and explained, "I'm a proportional druid, and I'm best at promoting giant plants."

"That tree... can't move anymore?" Qi Annie's spell reminded Ivy of a person who "clap his hands and make whatever he shouts come true", but it was obvious that she couldn't turn the giant plant she created into a Gundam that could move flexibly.

"Trees grow and die, but as for movement..." Qi Annie pushed her glasses again. "In fact, I'm researching ways to turn them into tree people, but I must say that this topic is quite difficult... Perhaps you can give me some suggestions?"

"Don't talk about this on the battlefield! Qi Anni!" Ying Bahan, who is also the dean of the Institute of Analysis, stopped her loudly, "Your spell didn't cause any effective damage! It's coming again!"

Yingbahan opened his magic book and flapped his wings to fan out a series of missiles from the pages. The trajectories of these missiles perfectly matched an elegant spiral, and the sizes of the missiles decreased according to a special rule.

As the dean of the Academy of Quantitative Analysis, which specializes in mathematical magic, Inbahan's spells are very characteristic of this academy.

This series of missiles shattered the bone shell on the chest of the Five-Handed Demon, but the Five-Handed Demon showed no intention of stopping.

The fire giant Nasarius no longer stood idly by. He clenched his hands and chanted a spell loudly, and then the whole earth began to shake violently.

This was an earthquake of great scope and intensity. Although the shaking of the earth could not cause direct damage to the Devouring Demon, it could cause it to lose balance and fall to the ground.

The two deans, who were both users of white mana, stepped forward together and chanted spells loudly. White scrolls and golden musical notes formed belts that wrapped the fallen Sorrowful Demon tightly from head to toe.

The deans waited nervously for a few breaths, until the resistance of the Sorrowful Demon gradually stopped. Only then did they become convinced that the sealing spells of the two deans were indeed effective.

"That's it!" Glory Dean Shayir sang, "As long as we work together, we will surely win in the end!"

"That's right! All we have to do now is copy the successful experience and defeat them one by one..." Director An Ying coughed twice, "Fortunately, these guys don't seem to have much brains."

But as soon as he finished speaking, the other few Sorrow-Devouring Demons who were originally scattered around the ruins of Sedern and were busy grabbing the mana from the earth veins stopped what they were doing and looked over here in unison. To be more precise, they looked at their companions who were sealed in the white cocoon.

"Could it be that they share senses?" Lisette, the dean of the root system, immediately revealed the truth of the matter. As a wizard with advanced research in fungi, she discovered that organisms parasitized by the same spores can share senses to a certain extent, and therefore are extremely sensitive to such phenomena.

After the split, the Devouring Demon Titan did not stare at the sealed individual for too long. Before the various helpers summoned by the deans arrived at the battlefield, they turned around and rushed in the same direction.

Ivy, who was flying high in the sky, could see it clearly. That was the only way for them to gather quickly and in the shortest time.

"The Devouring Demon Titan has a strong ability to cast spells," Ivy warned as he cast protective magic on himself, "The gully on the ground was left by it, be careful to avoid it!"

The split bodies of the Devouring Demon quickly gathered together. They raised all their arms high up, forming a forest. From their huge abyss-like mouths came sounds that were difficult for ordinary people to understand.

All spellcasters present could feel a huge amount of black mana flowing violently through the earth veins and gathering around the circle of five-armed demons.

"We can't let them cast spells so easily!" Root Dean Lisette shouted. A lot of fine dust that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye floated from her hands. They were extremely tiny fungal spores. After landing on living objects, they could quickly absorb nutrients from the host to grow. In addition to the common toxic and psychedelic effects, some mushrooms grown from the spores could even explode.

However, the spores that Lisette spread were not used to create harmful fungi, but to heal others. These vibrant little gadgets would mobilize the green mana in the earth and air, and feed it back to the host in the form of vitality and vigor, thereby achieving the purpose of accelerating wound healing.

For the Devourer of Sorrow who relies entirely on black mana, the vitality represented by the fungus is actually its natural enemy and nemesis.

As a result, it was visible to the naked eye that colorful mushrooms grew on the legs of several of the Desolate Devouring Demons, and large pieces of white bones that made up their bodies began to disintegrate and fall off. Although Lisette's spell was effective, the size difference between the two was too great, and it was difficult for these mushrooms to have any effect on the Desolate Devouring Demon's spell in a short period of time.

This was indeed the case. When Lisette's mushroom climbed to the waist of the Sorrowful Demon, a pure black spherical object appeared in the center of the forest formed by arms.

The next moment, the wind, which had been changing direction from time to time, began to blow in the same direction, and it was getting stronger and stronger.

All the deans tried to squat down to stabilize their center of gravity. Even Ivy, who was flying in the air, felt that his body was being dragged forward by a powerful force.

The culprit that caused all this was the black singularity released by the Demon of Sorrow.

The mushrooms growing on the Devouring Sorrow Demon were closest to the center of the singularity, so they were attracted the most. Large pieces of mushrooms fell off the demon, circling towards the center of the spell, and then silently turned into a puff of smoke.

The broken walls in the ruins of Sedern, the piles of bones in the moat, the magical helpers summoned by the deans, it seemed that everything could not escape the fate of being bound by the dark singularity.

For a moment, the air was full of flying objects. Even though they had never grown wings or feathers, the moment these objects came into contact with the black singularity, they all turned into smoke and dust, leaving almost no other parts.
