Versatile Mage: One innate talent for each system

Chapter 142 Chongming Island, Twisted Ghosts
The Magic Association and the Inquisition have conducted a covert investigation and have learned that the Black Vatican will be carrying out an operation on Jianghai Island, the specific scale of which is yet to be determined.

The top-tier hunter groups in China, including the Jin Zhan Hunter Group, also discovered Jiang Hai Island.

Suddenly, many more tourists appeared on Jianghai Island, and lecturers were also going to give lectures there.

In short, the number of people going to Jianghai Island has surged.

It seems the Black Vatican is unaware?
.........

Jianghai Island.

A country house in the middle of a ranch.

On the top floor, a woman stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the distant sky with downcast eyes, seemingly lost in thought.

Suddenly, she seemed to hear a sound coming from the communicator next to her ear.

Upon hearing the voice on the other end of the communicator, Fang Shaoli involuntarily knelt down, her head bowed, as if she were submitting to someone.

“Mentor, the Tribunal has our sights set on us. I plan to have our people blend in with the ordinary people and evacuate Jianghai Island as soon as possible,” Fang Shaoli said.

"Evacuate? That's not our style!" A cold voice came from the other end, and Fang Shaoli seemed very panicked.

Oh no, my supervisor isn't satisfied with how I handled this.

What should I do if I've upset my advisor?
Fortunately, the female voice ignored Fang Shaoli's words and continued, "The opening ceremony of Bocheng failed, and the grand ceremony of the ancient capital did not go as I wished. That idiot Hujin made me lose face!"

"The world no longer knows just how terrifying I am, comparing me to the other women in red. Ha, how can those fools stand with me?"

“Mentor, you are the greatest red-clad being, and also the one who drives the world’s calamities. The world simply does not understand your greatness!” Fang Shaoli quickly echoed.

"Ah."

The woman snorted coldly, completely unconcerned with Fang Shaoli's words. She directly issued the order: "Order everyone to prepare. Jianghai Island will be the last grand ceremony I hold in China. The Inquisition, the Magic Association, and the Hunter Alliance will all be participants. I want everyone to understand that I, Salang, am still the one who controls their lives!"

Despite being separated by a communication device, Fang Shaoli could still feel the intense sense of impending doom.

The mentor remains the master of life and death, and all those who intend to destroy Lord Salan's great will must submit to Lord Salan's feet!

This is the supreme god!
Fang Shaoli was caught up in a frenzy, her whole body trembling with excitement and her face flushed.

The grand ceremony in the ancient capital was held ahead of schedule, and everything seemed extremely rushed.

Although it did trigger a massive wave of undead, plunging the entire ancient capital into near collapse, with the city falling and people dying.

But the old king did not wield his sword against the living; instead, he even said he would give his land to the living.

It’s simply the most ridiculous thing in the world!
This also meant that the grand climax that Salam had hoped for did not arrive as expected, and the entire process came to an abrupt end.

What is most infuriating is that Muhe, this utterly foolish creature, was turned into a vile and worthless undead by the Ancient King in front of everyone.

This caused Salam and the entire Black Vatican to lose face!
“Remember, keep your identity hidden. I need someone who can manipulate the storms, not a clown on stage. You must be able to walk away unscathed in any situation. Hu Jin did this very well before, but in the ancient capital, he really disappointed me!” the woman said.

“I understand, mentor. I will definitely live up to your expectations! I will let everyone see your greatness at this grand event!” Fang Shaoli responded enthusiastically.

The communicator was turned off, and Fang Shaoli knelt down in a certain overseas direction.

A few minutes later, she slowly stood up, her eyes so sharp and terrifying.

Prepare to face the terror that Lord Salam brings!
As Salan's order was relayed, the entire Black Vatican of Jianghai Island mobilized to prepare for the opening ceremony of this grand event.

…………

"Commander, we've already set up an inescapable trap. That woman named Carly won't be able to escape!" said the vice-commander of the Gold War Hunters.

Ge Ming nodded, his gaze fixed on the villa in the distance.

The raid on the Black Vatican went unexpectedly smoothly, but he felt something was off, though he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Ge Ming shook his head, ceasing his thoughts and focusing on arranging the arrest operation. They had people pose as lecturers to hold seminars, using this as a pretext to attract thousands of people. With so many people, even a fly couldn't escape!
Time passed by minute by minute.

The hunter, playing the role of a lecturer, delivered his speech at its climax, his voice stirring and powerful.

With the words "Welcome a bright future," the Gold War Hunters Corps sprang into action.

They swarmed forward and firmly restrained Carly.

"Stop struggling, you can't escape!"

"You've arrested a weak woman like me for no reason! This violates the rules of the Magic Association!" Carly glared angrily at the group of mages who had suddenly appeared before her.

"Stop pretending, you are a member of the Black Vatican. We have already investigated your situation thoroughly. Hand over the list you have, and we will let you die a quick death!" Ge Ming said sternly.

“You’re slandering me!” Carly protested loudly, looking as if she really was being slandered.

However, she is indeed a member of the Black Vatican, but only on the outermost perimeter, responsible for providing cover for others.

“She’s stubborn. Take her to the trial court for questioning!” Ge Ming said.

Upon hearing this, Carly immediately unleashed a dazzling burst of lightning from her hand.

Ge Ming laughed and said, "As expected, they are members of the Black Church. Otherwise, how could an ordinary person possess such powerful magical abilities?"

After saying that, he was about to take action to suppress it.

Suddenly, something strange happened.

A spatial rift several meters wide was torn open above Carly's head, and the roar of the ghostly creature echoed out.

"It hurts so much!!!"

"I'm so hungry!!!"

Everyone looked at it.

The twisted body fell out of the spatial rift and landed next to Carly.

Carly retreated in terror, but was grabbed by the twisted monster, whose dozen or so arms tore at her frantically.

"Ahhhhhh!"

"Rip!!!"

Blood splattered on the people around her. Carly was torn into more than a dozen pieces and put into the dozens of faces on the twisted monster's body to be chewed up together!
"What the hell is this thing?!?!"

Everyone gasped in alarm, sensing the madness of the twisted demon, and quickly began to prepare to deal with it.

However, the twisted creature merely glanced at them before roaring and heading off in another direction.

…………

At this moment, Fang Shaoli is issuing instructions via communicator.

"boom!"

The walls outside the villa were smashed down by a powerful force.

Fang Shaoli immediately stood up, about to check the situation.

As a result, the Twisted Ghost climbed directly from outside the villa to the top floor, and its crazed and pained face collided with Fang Shaoli by the window.

"what!!!!!"

Fang Shaoli shouted and retreated rapidly.
