Who taught him to restore the country like this

Chapter 187 Evolution
With the lives of tens of thousands of people at stake, the three major Vatican councils were finding it difficult to make a decision.

If we launch a direct assault, these people will die.

Even if we don't launch a strong attack, these people will still die.

Those who take the Enlightenment Potion seem destined to die anyway, so it's better to break through the barrier as soon as possible and nip the danger in the bud.

After discussion, just as most people were leaning towards directly breaking through the barrier and capturing Grey, the nobleman sent by the Kingdom of Orantia spoke up.

"I think we can wait and see. Perhaps the person in the sea of ​​consciousness has a way to counter Gray."

"Yes, it's too early to draw conclusions. Don't forget, the Hero is inside. He will definitely have a way to solve this problem."

"The matter that the three great Vatican churches couldn't handle last time, didn't the Hero resolve it?"

"Please believe in the Hero!"

The people of Orantia spoke with firm conviction.

No one present stood up to refute their blind trust.

Because Ron the Hero is such an incredible person, it seems that nothing is impossible for him.

The Eternal Illusion he previously cracked remains a mystery to the three major Vatican councils.

Although the Demon God Altar is several levels higher than the Eternal Illusion, it doesn't stop them from placing high hopes on Ron.

Before the magic festival began, Ron had already sensed something was wrong with the Enlightenment Potion. A cautious person like him might have had a backup plan.

Perhaps... he can create another miracle.

Once this idea was born, everyone's intentions shifted to a wait-and-see approach.

There are still three days left. If we observe for another two and a half days, the impact won't be significant.

Is this really the case?
The barrier covering the magic city was just the problem they saw.

Who knows if there are other problems hidden within this problem?

Will it be possible to solve multiple problems in half a day?
The three bishops were very troubled.

At this point, a strong attack would minimize the risk, but it would be inhumane.

If we wait any longer, the risks may escalate to an uncontrollable level.

"Ah, if only Ron had taken the Enlightenment Potion."

The three of them couldn't help but think the same thing.

If Ron takes the Enlightenment Potion, they will break through the barrier without hesitation.

It can not only solve the problems of the magic capital, but also eliminate the hidden dangers of the war between the gods, killing two birds with one stone.

There's no need to face difficult choices.

Unfortunately, Ron did not take the Enlightenment Potion.

Ultimately, after discussion, the three decided to observe for two days and reserve one day for the rest of the time.

……

In the sea of ​​knowledge.

"Mr. Ron, how much longer do we have to walk?"

The students following behind Ron were almost numb from walking.

The magic festival has been going on for five days now. In these five days, apart from resting, I've been traveling all day. It's been a very boring and tedious time.

The seventy-odd people who remained at this point were truly in love.

"Hurry, it'll be there soon."

Ron replied.

Hearing Ron's answer, the students were not happy at all, because Ron had been giving the same answer for the past few days.

Then day after day, it went on and on, with no end in sight.

It's important to know that the magic festival becomes increasingly difficult to find as it progresses, because their bodies have been outside for up to half a month without food. Even with the nourishment provided by magic power and the altar of the demon god, they will gradually weaken.

Their spirits also weakened, making it difficult to find magic.

Five days have passed, and Ron still seems unhurried, which is making them very anxious.

"Professor Ron, let's search the palace ahead."

"A student pleaded."

"it is good."

Ron nodded.

Upon hearing this, the student was stunned, momentarily doubting whether he had misheard.

The request he made with little hope was actually granted by Mr. Ron?
The students were all stunned upon hearing this, and then deeply moved.

Mr. Ron finally changed his mind.

No.

Ron didn't lie to them this time.

This time it's really close.

The magic palace ahead was his destination.

It is also the end of this maze of consciousness.

Of course, the God of Magic's sea of ​​consciousness is a closed circular maze, and in a sense, it does not have a true end.

Players simply refer to the location where the potential for magical evolution is sealed as the endpoint.

More than ten minutes later, Ron led the students to a stop in front of a magic palace.

There are many magical palaces in the sea of ​​consciousness, and magic may exist in every corner of the palace.

The palace before them was unremarkable, even smaller than other magical palaces.

No powerful magic could be sensed from it, so no one would come here.

It should be like this.

However, as they approached the palace, another group of people emerged from a different passage.

There are actually people who noticed this place?

Ron found it very novel.

And the leader of this group was someone they knew.

"What a coincidence, Your Majesty Ron."

The other party greeted him in a sarcastic tone.

The speaker was none other than Hector of the Emerald Kingdom.

"Even this abandoned little palace is being searched; it seems His Majesty Ron has amassed a great haul."

He wore a mocking smile.

"How can we compare to you? Abandoning your students, you must look down on this little palace that no one wants."

Ron responded with a smile.

At this moment, Hector had no students around him, only a few teachers wearing Grey Witch Academy uniforms.

One of the mages, who held a crystal ball and wore a celestial robe, caught his attention.

"Humph!"

Hector snorted coldly: "Even if I don't like it, I won't leave it to you. Everything here is mine. Go find the next palace."

He said it bluntly.

Ron chuckled softly, already seeing through everything.

Hector's words sounded like he was being stubborn, but he actually knew there were good things inside and didn't want to leave.

He didn't come here by chance; he came prepared.

You can tell from the astrologer next to him holding a crystal ball.

"why are you laughing?"

Hector questioned.

A vague unease crept into my heart.

Could it be that this guy also knows there's something inside this palace...?

No, it's impossible.

"He couldn't possibly know such a thing."

Hector rejected this conjecture.

Even if we knew, so what?

He has two seventh-level teachers by his side, so there's no need to be afraid of this guy.

"You search yours, I'll just take a look," Ron said casually, gesturing for him to leave, showing no intention of departing.

Hector frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, but still did not choose to fight Ron.

There are too many uncertainties surrounding Ron, and fighting him might not necessarily bring any advantage.

"What catches your eyes?"

Hector said unhappily.

Ron's easy concession made him very suspicious that the guy was up to something bad again.

"Are you going to search or not? If you don't, I will."

Ron offered no explanation and made a move to walk into the palace.

"stop."

Hector quickly rebuked him.

He then quickly walked past Ron and entered the palace.

Ron smiled calmly.

Young people are just so impatient. "Professor Ron, let's go to the next palace."

"One student said."

Although it was frustrating, I really couldn't compete with them.

And if they want these little magical palaces, we can just give them to them.

"We've finally reached the finish line, how can we leave so easily?"

Ron smiled and shook his head.

The student was taken aback.

Looking at the ancient and dilapidated palace before me.

Is this... the final destination?
This was completely different from the destination they had imagined.

However, since Professor Ron said this was the end, they couldn't give up easily.

"Professor Ron, let's go in and search quickly."

Some students got anxious, fearing that their rivals would snatch the good stuff away.

“No rush,” Ron said calmly, shaking his head. “What’s ours will eventually be ours; it can’t escape us.”

"Now that someone is willing to pave the way for us, we just need to follow along slowly."

Ron's tone revealed a strong sense of confidence.

The students were infected without realizing it.

They followed Ron into the palace and strolled leisurely into its depths.

I don't know if it's because of psychological issues, but walking through the palace, even though there were no magical monsters, I inexplicably felt a sense of unease.

The further you go in, the stronger this feeling of palpitations becomes.

When they arrived at the main hall at the deepest part of the palace, Ron stopped the students.

"It's a bit dangerous inside now, let's go in later."

He said calmly.

The students listened and waited patiently.

Sure enough, not long after, cries of alarm and chaotic magical fluctuations, along with Hector's furious roar, echoed from inside the hall.

"what happened?!"

"Hold on! Use the Combined Shield!"

"Your Highness! This magic feedback is wrong! It's absorbing our magic power!"

"what--"

Inside this grand hall, there exists a mechanism. Triggering this mechanism will activate a magical puppet that absorbs the magic of everyone in the hall and merges it into itself, making it extremely difficult to deal with.

So Ron decided not to go in and join the fun.

That astrologer was quite skilled; he could even find that extremely hidden mechanism.

I just don't know if they can defeat this monster that has absorbed all of their magic.

Ron waited patiently.

The chaos lasted for a while before gradually subsiding.

"Let's go in and have a look."

Ron strode toward the main hall.

The students followed Ron into the main hall with a mixture of trepidation and curiosity.

The interior of the main hall is much more spacious than it appears from the outside, as if it were a space of its own.

At this moment, only Hector and a few others remained in the hall; the magical puppet was nowhere to be seen.

Not bad, not bad. As expected of a prince of the kingdom who has received three blessings, he is quite capable.

"What did you come in for?"

Hector looked at Ron with apprehension.

They captured the hall at the cost of three dead and five wounded, making it difficult for them to fight Ron again.

Ron ignored Hector.

His gaze fell upon the center of the hall, where the [Evolution] power had appeared after the mechanism was triggered.

It was a halo of light that floated, constantly changing shape, and shimmering with chaotic colors.

Sometimes it sprouts like a seed, sometimes it stretches out like a branch, and sometimes it transforms into runes for deduction.

It did not emit powerful energy fluctuations, but rather an indescribable aura of gestation and evolution.

This is the origin of the legend of the god of magic—that extracted "possibility" that allowed magic to grow!
"Go on."

After watching for a moment, Ron looked at Hector and said.

Seeing that Ron had no intention of taking it, Hector breathed a sigh of relief and walked toward the halo of light with some doubt.

He took out Pandora's Box, intending to use his powerful magic to forcibly take away the halo.

But when his magic touched the halo, it was like a hot iron hitting ice water, making a hissing sound. The halo boiled violently, and a repulsive force pushed him away.

"Damn, what the hell is this!"

Hector was furious. He realized that the spiritual resonance brought about by the Enlightenment Potion was useless here, and even had the opposite effect.

"It seems it has rejected you, Hector."

Ron's voice sounded behind him.

"Ron, did you already know?"

Hector turned around abruptly, his eyes bloodshot.

"Yes, I know. I know that magic requires understanding and resonance, not the force of plunder."

Ron walked step by step toward the halo of light.

"People like you who steal its power through crooked means can never touch the essence of magic."

Under Hector's resentful gaze, Ron reached out his hand.

He simply extended his hand without gathering any powerful magic in his palm.

A faint glow emanated from his body.

[Level has been increased to level 65]

Instead of trying to grasp it, we touched and understood it as if welcoming an old friend.

The chaotic halo seemed to hesitate for a moment, then cautiously approached Ron's fingers, swirling around his fingertips.

Finally, like fledglings returning to their nest, it obediently merged into his spiritual body.

There was no earth-shattering energy burst, but Ron's aura instantly became profound and unfathomable, and countless magical evolutions flashed by in his eyes.

Ron's lips slowly curled into a smile.

There's nothing that players can't absorb.

"No! Hand it over!"

Hector's eyes widened in fury as he gathered his magic and launched a magical attack on Ron, attempting to forcibly reclaim what was rightfully his.

Several men around him also attacked Ron.

However, their magic had just begun to stir, and the spell had not yet taken shape.

"Uh-"

Hector suddenly let out a painful scream, clutched his head, and knelt down on the ground.

The same was true of the people around him.

Their mental fluctuations suddenly became extremely chaotic, and visible energy threads were forcibly pulled from his body.

The spiritual body became transparent and weakened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Your Highness... Your Highness... It hurts so much..."

"Power... is being drained away..."

Ok?
Ron, who was about to retaliate, showed a look of surprise on his face.

What is this doing?
Touch porcelain?

Or……

“Professor Ron, I…I’m in so much pain…”

Painful cries came from behind.

Ron looked back.

Several students were seen curled up on the ground in pain, exhibiting symptoms identical to those of Hector and his companions.

He crouched down and examined it.

"Mr. Ron, what's wrong with them?"

The students asked with concern.

"They secretly used mental resonance, and now someone might be doing something like resurrecting the god of magic. Their mental power is being forcibly extracted."

Ron pondered for a moment before answering.

Although I knew there was a mastermind behind it all, I didn't expect them to act so quickly.

The students around him were horrified by Ron's answer, their backs instantly soaked with cold sweat.

Someone actually wants to resurrect the God of Magic?!
"Professor Ron, they... they'll be alright, won't they?"

The students asked with high hopes.

"If this continues, they will die."

Ron's answer, however, was incredibly cruel.
