From Hogwarts to Strixhaven.

Chapter 372: Death Devil Whirl
The black singularities summoned by the Devouring Demons have an increasingly larger range and their effects are becoming increasingly stronger.

At first, the deans could see the process of objects hitting the singularity turning into green smoke, but as time went on, the darkness around the singularity became thicker and thicker, and even the Devouring Sorrowless Demons standing below it could not see it, as if a veil divided the world into two areas. It goes without saying that if you accidentally pass through that veil, the outcome will definitely not be good.

"We must launch the attack from farther away!" Dean of Theory Yingbahan shouted calmly, but his voice was getting smaller and smaller. "I will open the portal right in front of us, let's jump in together!"

The expected chanting of spells did not sound. Everyone could only see the owl in a blue robe disheveled in the wind, and his beak constantly opening and closing.

The magic of the Devouring Demon can not only physically eliminate the existence of objects, but also block close-range light and long-range sound.

Now, in the space where the deans are located, the sound waves have been magically blocked, and all magic that requires spells to be released cannot be released.

Unfortunately, the Theoretical Dean's teleportation technique also falls into this category.

Ivy raised his hand and touched the Ravenclaw crown on his head. An invisible wave quickly expanded from him to all the deans.

This was the fifth-ring spell Larry's Mind Link. Ivy used metamagic skills to ignore its language and gesture components, and was able to successfully release it.

In this spiritual space, the deans immediately began heated exchanges and discussions.

Ogeta tried hard to control her emotions: "We must find a way to interrupt their spellcasting process! Otherwise, it won't be long before we are all sucked in!"

Qi Anni, the Dean of the Material Department of the Institute of Quantitative Analysis, said: "Let Kemina go first! We must find the founding dragon, and notify Pag not to bring the dragon guards here! Otherwise, they will just die!"

Kemina didn't say anything more. After getting the unanimous approval of the deans, she was the first to leave the battlefield.

"We should try to use the magic in the earth veins!" Root Dean Lisette made a suggestion. "Akavivo's mana always exists in opposition. Although the earth veins around the Seidun ruins only show black mana, it does not mean that other mana does not exist. They should just be suppressed... Maybe this situation has lasted for many years, but as long as we can find an opportunity, we can use the power of the earth veins themselves to fight back."

"So we should go down?" Qi Anni, the Dean of the Material School who is also a user of green mana, immediately understood what she meant. "You must have started already? How deep are your roots in the ground?"

"It's already very deep, but there's a barrier underground that's blocking me...so I need your help," Lisette replied.

"Do you need another earthquake?" Nasari asked enthusiastically, "That's the spell I'm best at. It doesn't require chanting."

"That will destroy my roots buried underground." Lisette disagreed. "I think the underground barrier is likely related to the underground structure in the middle of the Sedern ruins, because the barrier seems to be a spherical arc..."

"I sent a necromancy creature to work with the students. It allowed me to project my consciousness over there to see what was going on over there." Ivy said immediately.

Larry's mind connection is a ritual spell that does not require concentration, so after completing the spell, Ivy can continue to cast other spells that require continuous concentration without worrying about the interruption of the mind spell connecting the deans.

As Ivy's necromancy creation, Tom can also take over Ivy's consciousness at any time. Although it may seem a bit crowded, extraordinary measures are needed in extraordinary times.

There were no unnecessary spells or gestures. Ivy just thought about it and the scene in front of him changed.

It was a spacious basement lit by torches, with many crates stacked in the corners and various scrolls and texts scattered in the puddles. But what attracted more attention than all this was the blood-red magic blade flying towards Ivy.

It looks like a battle is going on here.

Ivy swung the long sword in his hand and awkwardly cut the bloody magic blade in half. Although it was not his own body, his martial arts as a sword master were still there. The long sword and the elf curved blade were both slashing weapons. Even if they were not easy to use, they could still be used with 50% effort.

"Why did you shut your stinky mouth? Do you understand your fate now? Even if the Founding Dragon comes, Strixhaven will be destroyed today!" These words came from a masked wizard named Oriko. Ivy was sure that the person who shot the blood blade at him before was him.

"Mr. Voldemort! Watch your back!" The one who shouted this was the Elephant Man Bastion who was also holding a sword. It seemed that he had used Ivy's magic scroll after all. From what he said, there were more than one companion and enemy in this basement.

The long sword flashed with pure red light, which was a precursor to the activation of the 5th-level spell Steel Wind Strike. Although this precursor was not hidden, there were almost no people who could seize the opportunity to defend or counterattack.

The headless knight's body suddenly disappeared from the spot, and the long sword in his hand flashed five times in an instant, hitting the other two Oriko wizards in the room and the creatures summoned by their spells, and finally stopped at the neck of the Oriko who spoke at the beginning.

Raising his hand to counter the blood magic of the wizard Oriko in front of him, Ivy swung his sword and chopped off his head, then observed the battlefield again.

There were so many enemies in the basement that it was almost impossible to move.

Most of them are undead creatures summoned by spells, and a few are Orric wizards.

The five members of the Nemesis Team formed a circle under each other's cover. Although they failed to create much advantage, they did not suffer too many casualties.

Brilliant green lightning burst out from the headless knight's palm, piercing through the bodies of all enemies one by one, taking away their life and souls.

Ivy didn't plan to waste any more time, so he started with his best group death spell. The non-legendary version of "Doom's Death Grasp" was even more useful when dealing with a large number of mobs.

Seeing the enemies in the hall being wiped out one after another, the members of the Nemesis Team seemed a little overwhelmed: "Mr. Voldemort...you..."

But Ivy didn't have time to waste time, and asked right away: "Where is Uveda? Ah - I already know. You just stay here and don't run around. The situation outside is very complicated."

As the number of living beings in the hall decreased, the noisy environment immediately became quiet, and Ivy was able to hear the sounds of fighting and spells chanting coming from the north.

It seems that Uveda, who came to support earlier, did not choose to help the Nemesis Team deal with the enemies in the hall, but went to find Mogasso who was performing the ceremony.

Controlling the Death Knight's body, Ivy quickly rushed towards the direction where the sound came from.

The venue where Mogaso held the ceremony had become a mess, with broken ice crystals and mud spots everywhere, as if it had been visited by a husky that jumped into a mud puddle.

The bullywug floating in the air was undoubtedly Mogasso. He was under the protection of a double shield. One layer was a rock barrier supported by five ritual stones around him, and the other was a complete black mana barrier emitted by a disgusting stitched meat ball.

Undead creatures and mud monsters kept rising from the two barriers, which was why Uveda had never been able to defeat Mogasso. With mud bats flying in the sky and earth elementals and zombies harassing the ground, it was difficult for Uveda, the dean of Jingjin, to be distracted and break through two different barriers.

"How did you get in?" When Ivy took the time to look at the battlefield situation, Uveda also saw the headless knight with black flames, "Where are those students?"

"They are safe, but the deans are different. We must break through Mogasso's barrier as soon as possible, and Lisette must find a way to communicate with the green mana in the earth veins." Ivy explained as briefly as possible.

"...Professor Doom? You attached your consciousness to your summoned creature?" Uveda quickly understood why the talkative Dullahan suddenly became silent and efficient. "Well... no matter what your plan is, I will try my best to cooperate!"

"Then... protect yourself!"

Ivy suppressed the discomfort and reached out to put her hands into her eye sockets. It was obvious that Voldemort's Shatter-Mouth Skull had no eyeballs. The only thing it used to observe the world were two pitch-black flames. So even if Ivy reached out and pulled its skull off its neck, it would not be hurt at all.

The skull of Voldemort's Smacking Skull contains many of Ivy's dark magic powers, and the eternal fire will absorb any form of dark magic power for its own use, so it can also burn Mogasso's black mana barrier to ashes.

Therefore, simply throwing the Shattermouth Skull out as a Fiery Bomb was the best and fastest way Ivy could think of.

After completing this action, Ivy immediately pulled his consciousness out, returned to his body and began to prepare a spell. After all, there was another layer of barrier protecting Mogasso, and it utilized the power of the earth and the swamp.

So, under Uveda's shocked gaze, the quiet and efficient skull head spun towards Mogasso, and suddenly turned back into the annoying chatterbox before: "My cold-blooded master! Even if I sacrifice myself for you, I will never regret it! But please give me a heads up next time!"

The moment the skull hit the barrier and shattered, the black flames spread out like a greedy monster, instantly covering the entire basement and igniting the stitched flesh ball that was the source.

Looking at the black flames coming towards her and the attacks coming from all directions, Uveda placed her hands on her chest, quickly wrapped herself in a ball of solid ice, and quietly waited for what would happen next.

Mogasso's chanting did not stop, even though fear had seized his consciousness and the seeds of uncertainty had been planted in his heart.

The ground etched with magic circles suddenly bulged, and the lines flowing with magical power were torn into pieces. The spire of a fortress broke out from the ground, pierced through Mogasso who was floating in the air, and then broke through the ceiling and appeared on the ground of the ruins of Sedern that had been dilapidated for hundreds of years.

Ivy's magical fortress once again performed a meritorious service, not only interrupting Mogasso's immortal ritual, but also impaling him on the top of the tower.

"You succeeded!" Lisette's voice echoed in Ivy's mind. "My guess is correct. The life force in the earth veins has been dormant for a long time. This will be an unprecedented counterattack!"

When the first brick on the top of the magnificent fortress fell off due to the gravity anomaly caused by the Devouring Sorrow magic, a large number of plants broke out from the ground. They were in various shapes, with thorny vines, tall and tough trees, colorful flowers and mushrooms. But without exception, they all grew vigorously, and could even be said to be flooding.

These plants were attracted by the dark stars and twisted and coiled into giant snakes, but they were not uprooted. Even though the leaves and branches at the top had withered and turned to ashes due to the power of magic, new buds were always sprouting and growing more and more vigorously.

As more and more plants sprang out from the ground, the abnormal gravity felt by the deans became smaller and smaller, and soon they regained the ability to speak.

"Did it succeed?" Ogeta was not sure about the outcome of the entanglement of the two mana. Other deans who were not familiar with green mana were also looking forward to the answer to this question.

"Not yet!" The one who answered him was the head of the bloodline, Valentine. The empty eye sockets of the vampire shot out a scarlet light. "Lisette and Qianni are both guiding the life force in the earth veins, but compared with the spell designed by the Devouring Sorrowless Demon, our counterattack is too primitive and too crude!"

"That is to say, we still need to end the spell of the Abyss before the momentum of the counterattack is curbed... How can we interrupt the Abyss without affecting Lisette and Qianni?" Dean of the Theory School, Inbahan, frowned. As the dean of the School of Analysis, he has certainly studied green mana, but he is certainly not proficient in it. It's good enough that he doesn't make things worse at this time. How can he come up with any ideas?

"The founding dragon." Ivy said.

Yingbahan nodded as a matter of course: "Is there really no other way?"

"No," Ivy shook her head. "I mean, the spell of the Creation Dragon, the spell that defines the Strixhaven Vortex. We can mix the power of the Devouring Sorrowful Demon with the vitality of the earth veins to create a brand new Vortex. You should have all seen that spell!"

"What!" The deans were all shocked by Ivy's sudden fantasy. "Can we really do this?"

"Of course," Ivy said affirmatively, "When I first saw the spell, I already understood its casting principle, because I have cast similar spells more than once. Now we have eight deans, and our minds are still connected, and we don't have to face five kinds of violent mana, which is a unique condition!"

"Do as he says!" Nasari shouted enthusiastically. "This will go down in history!"

Ivy didn't give the others time to think, and immediately started the process of casting the wish - by simply speaking out the wish aloud and manipulating the foundation of the real world according to the desire.

What a simple and easy to understand spell, but its core is extremely complex and profound.

"You are the flourishing withering!" Ivy read aloud.

"It is also the new green of decay..." Lisette and Qianni tried their best to respond.

"You are a ruined curse!" Valentine and Ambers said calmly.

"It's also the reverberation of life..." Shayir and Ogeta responded immediately.

"You are the flourishing of decay..." Yingbahan sang joyfully.

"It is also a flourishing bleakness!" Nasari concluded enthusiastically.

The two entangled magical forces changed as the nine people chanted in unison. They were no longer in conflict with each other, but coexisted harmoniously.

The Sorrow-Devouring Demons trapped in the center let out incredible roars. They wanted to resist with all their might, but they could not overcome the great will of the real world of Akavivo.

Finally, a new vortex formed by the entanglement of black and green mana was born in the ruins—the Death Vortex.
