Spellcasting Gods

After doing all this, she took a deep breath and went back to the street. Using the car theft skills she had learned from the thugs, she skillfully stole a dilapidated pickup truck parked on the side of the road and drove it toward Catherine's Kiss Restaurant.

As a girl who had been exposed to countless Hollywood blockbusters, she knew that she absolutely could not make a phone call at this time. She threw her phone into the trash can early to prevent being tracked. The only thing she could do next was to go find her best friend.

It's likely that in her subconscious, Elsa was the only family member who would never betray her.

……

With a mix of trepidation and excitement, Elizabeth quickly arrived at the secluded bar located in the restaurant's basement.

However, she didn't rush to contact her sisters. Instead, she lowered her head, casually ordered a cocktail, placed a ten-dollar bill covered in tiny writing under the glass, and turned to disappear into the dimly lit passageway.

"Hey Bonita! Watch the bar for me, I need to use the restroom."

Elsa quickly noticed the trick on the back of the banknote while collecting the money, and also recognized Elizabeth's handwriting. She immediately called out to the new young witch and then ran quickly into the dimly lit passage.

About two or three minutes later, a familiar figure was seen hiding in the corner.

Without any hesitation, she immediately stepped forward and gave her stepsister a tight hug: "Damn it! Tell me what happened? Why are you contacting me in such a sneaky way?"

“I’m sorry, Elsa. I…I’ve awakened…” Elizabeth slowly removed her hat, revealing her stunning purple pupils and the patterns on her face that contained powerful magical energy.

"My God! This is absolutely gorgeous! You are such a lucky person!" Elsa exclaimed, carefully touching the slightly cool texture.

Elizabeth shook her head with a wry smile: "No, I think it was more like a disaster. I lost control when I awakened, and you can't even imagine what happened. All the windows in the entire school building shattered, the energy that exploded destroyed a classroom, at least twelve students died instantly, and many more were seriously injured and collapsed. The New York Police Department is currently investigating, and I'm afraid I'm already on the wanted list."

Gudong!

Upon hearing this news, Elsa subconsciously swallowed and asked in a slightly trembling voice, "You killed twelve people? And they were students from Horaceman High School? What about Zhang? Have you contacted him?"

“Zhang has been missing for almost two weeks since the cruise ship auction ended. I called Jesse and she said this is normal and Zhang will come back on his own soon,” Elizabeth replied with a hint of helplessness.

"Alright! Looks like we can't count on your powerful boyfriend right now. Stay here and don't go anywhere. I'll contact the cleaning staff and see if they can find a way to cover this up."

As the temporary custodian of a territory, Elsa is no longer the clueless newbie she once was, and she understands the importance of blocking information as soon as possible.

If this supernatural outburst becomes headline news and Elizabeth's identity is exposed, the whole thing will become extremely complicated.

It's one thing to cleanse and modify the memories of three or five people, but quite another to modify the memories of thousands or tens of thousands of people.

If the situation gets out of control, according to the normal parliamentary procedure, the perpetrator is usually sacrificed, and then public opinion is used to portray it as a completely normal case.

Watching her sister disappear at the end of the passage, Elizabeth, who had been on tenterhooks the whole way, finally breathed a sigh of relief. She murmured to herself in a voice only she could hear, "My dear, where are you? I need your help and protection now..."

The girl had no idea that Zhang Cheng was standing in the center of a complex teleportation array, carefully examining every magical symbol to ensure there were absolutely no mistakes.

In fact, this magic circle incorporates so many technologies that it far surpasses any long-distance teleportation spell in either the Forgotten Realms or the two high-magic worlds of Azeroth.

It is not only more precise and more concealed, but it is also strong enough to break through many powerful magical defenses. Apart from anti-magic fields and large-scale anti-magic fields, nothing can stop the spatial folding effect generated at the moment of activation.

After admiring his "masterpiece" for a while, Zhang Cheng nodded in satisfaction: "Very good! I hope it will have the expected effect! Otherwise, I might have to start a massacre against the army controlled by the Supreme Council."

The words had barely left his mouth!

He immediately activated the entire magic circle!

In the blink of an eye, blinding white light illuminated the bedroom at the highest point of the castle...

Chapter 0581 Hearing the News

Accompanied by intense dizziness, Zhang Cheng finally forced his way through the ancient magical defenses and jumped out from a gap in the sky above New York.

next second...

boom!

The energy gushing out of the crack instantly caused a devastating impact on everything within a radius of tens of meters!

Cups, bottles, barrels, chairs, tables, chandeliers—all shattered under the terrifying release of energy!

Of course, he himself wasn't much better off; he slammed into a wall and then fell to the ground.

Fortunately, I had cast enough protective spells beforehand, otherwise this one blow would have been enough to break my neck and spine.

"Damn it! The rebound from this magic defense is really powerful..." Zhang Cheng cursed under his breath as he struggled to get up and look around, only to find that he had landed in a bar.

Fortunately, it was morning and the bar hadn't opened yet, so there wasn't a single person there. Otherwise, at least ten or eight unlucky guys would have died.

Without any hesitation, he grabbed a bartender's suit from behind the bar, changed out of his mismatched robe, and quickly left the devastated place.

Undoubtedly, although the "smuggling" was very successful, he suffered from the pressure and rebound of the huge protective magic, resulting in a serious loss of distance control. Instead of being accurately teleported to the originally set destination, he was thrown out halfway.

Even more frightening is that this violent magical shock will undoubtedly attract the attention of the Supreme Council.

Zhang Cheng didn't want anyone to know about his ambitious plan to build a legion, so he quickly and continuously used teleportation magic to completely disrupt the spatial rifts in this area, so that no matter who got up, they wouldn't be able to find any useful information.

After doing all this, he used his psychic abilities to control a taxi driver and have him take him back to his Long Island villa, also erasing his memories before parting.

In fact, it has been proven that being cautious is absolutely the right thing to do!

He had just taken a shower and changed his clothes. The ring on his hand, which symbolized his status as a member of the Supreme Council, suddenly emitted a faint glow. Immediately afterward, a piece of parchment appeared out of thin air and floated in mid-air.

The sign read: “Dear Congressman, at 10:25 a.m., a teleportation connection point from hell has been discovered in Queens, New York. It is suspected to be a demonic intrusion. Please investigate and expel it as soon as possible. — North American Supreme Council Node Monitoring Center”

"Node monitoring center? The council has such an institution?" Zhang Cheng muttered to himself, stroking his chin.

But before he could even touch the note, the parchment burst into flames and vanished without a trace in just two or three seconds, leaving not a speck of dust behind.

To avoid suspicion, he had to pick up the phone and pretend to dial the Queens borough administrator's number.

About half a minute later, Venus's mature and sexy voice came from the other end of the phone: "Good morning! What brings you to call me today? Could it be..."

"A troublesome matter! The node monitoring center just sent a notification, telling me there might be a stowaway from hell in your territory. Investigate it; if it's a demon, kill or expel it." Zhang Cheng interrupted the other party's speculation and gave the answer directly.

"A demon? Damn it! Send me the address right now!" Venus tensed up as soon as she heard the news.

I couldn't help but be nervous!

It's important to know that the personalities of demons in hell are incredibly diverse. If you encounter one that likes to hide in the shadows and plot against you, that's fine. But if you encounter one that is extremely insane, cruel, bloodthirsty, and reckless, it's an absolute disaster.

They don't care about any agreements; in just one or two weeks, they can bewitch a large number of ordinary people into a state of fanaticism, and then have them commit suicide to offer up their souls.

In densely populated New York, a mishandled incident can escalate into an explosive news event.

"Don't panic! I'll send you the address right away. Let's go check it out first and then we'll talk. Also, what were you trying to say to me earlier?"

As the instigator of the whole affair, Zhang Cheng was clearly well aware that there was no demon at all, and he took the initiative to change the subject.

"Don't you know?" Venus's tone revealed a hint of surprise.

"What do you know? I went out a few days ago and just came back. Did something happen while I was away?" Zhang Cheng frowned subconsciously.

“No, it’s not really an accident, but the repercussions are starting to take hold. You’d better step in and deal with it quickly, or I’m afraid your young and lovely girlfriend will be in big trouble,” Venus hinted meaningfully.

"Elizabeth?" Zhang Cheng sensed something and immediately hung up the phone to dial the girl's number.

After the phone rang more than a dozen times, no one answered.

problem occurs!

Realizing what was happening, he immediately transferred the call to one of his closest confidants in New York—Urben Best.

A short while later, this bloodthirsty battle maniac finally pressed the answer button and asked in a panting voice, "Boss, who do you need me to kill?"

It goes without saying that he must have just completed very intense combat training.

"No, it wasn't murder. Tell me, what happened to Elizabeth? Why can't I get through to her on the phone?"

“Uh… as far as I know, she seems to have caused quite a stir when she awakened her witch bloodline, and she’s currently hiding from the police in the basement bar of Catherine’s Kiss restaurant,” Urban Best replied succinctly.

"Awakening? Police pursuit? What about the cleaner? Isn't anyone helping her clean up the mess?" Zhang Cheng's tone revealed a hint of sternness.

“No! No! To be precise, according to the rules, Elizabeth hasn’t registered under any lord yet, so no one is qualified to protect her, much less use the resources of the underworld to interfere with law enforcement. The only thing we can do is drive away those with ill intentions; we are powerless in the ordinary world. Of course, if it were you who gave the order, that would be a different story,” Urban Best explained with a hint of helplessness.

To ensure that the underworld remained out of the public eye, the council set up all sorts of strange rules that even lords often had to abide by.

“I hate these rigid rules! Call everyone! Resolve this within six hours! Remember, don’t leave any evidence; I’ll allow you to kill them if necessary.”

As the last word fell!

Zhang Cheng hung up the phone immediately, got into his fastest sports car, sped across the road, and headed towards Catherine's Kiss Restaurant, intending to comfort the frightened girl.

In a way, Elizabeth was his last remaining desire as a mortal.

If even this is lost, then his entire being will undergo unpredictable changes in thought and soul, perhaps even evolving in the most unwanted direction, becoming a monster that completely abandons emotions and acts with absolute rationality or absolute madness...

Chapter 0582 Death Trap

As one of the thirteen people standing at the very top of the power structure of the North American underworld, Zhang Cheng's orders would undoubtedly be given the highest priority.

Especially in New York State, which was under his jurisdiction, even the most unruly legislators and lords would obediently submit to him, lest they be caught red-handed and used as a target to establish their authority.

In less than an hour, the descriptions of the Hollisman High School tragedy on the 24-hour news broadcast on television underwent a dramatic change.

What began as a suspected supernatural phenomenon that came very close to the truth gradually escalated into a terrorist attack, and even led to the arrest of a bearded Middle Eastern man who claimed to be willing to take responsibility for the incident.

In an instant, the wind shifted rapidly from fantasy to reality, and finally, an expert jumped out and said that the corpses that were crushed by magical energy were actually caused by the impact of the shock wave generated by the explosion of high explosives.

Given the enormous impact of the 9/11 attacks on American society, many people have begun to call for severe punishment of the perpetrators and increased investment in combating international terrorism.

Elizabeth, who was wanted not long ago, has become invisible in the blink of an eye, as if everyone has selectively forgotten this high school girl who was considered a major suspect.

However, just as the uproar caused in the ordinary world was gradually subsiding, another venomous snake, which had been lurking in the shadows for a long time, finally couldn't help but open its mouth full of venomous fangs.

This guy was none other than Brenda, whose arm Zhang Cheng had recently severed.

Of course, he wasn't foolish enough to fight alone; instead, he rallied almost all the vampire families living in seclusion in New York, intending to take down Elizabeth.

To be precise, the plan was to inject a seed of death into the girl's body through cruel blood magic, and then, when the young couple had intimate relations, directly detonate the seed, causing blood to gush out uncontrollably, until she bled to death, draining her last drop of blood.

As for why the vampire family was willing to take such a huge risk to get involved in this matter, it was partly for revenge, and partly to make their future lives easier.

After all, during the Brooklyn purge, at least forty vampire nobles who took advantage of the chaos to recklessly drink human blood were captured by Zhang Cheng and subjected to the torture of being exposed to the sun. The cruelty of the method directly angered those high-ranking dukes.

They simply couldn't imagine how difficult their lives would be if such a person ruled the entire state of New York, and how their family would decline and perish within a few years.

It's important to understand that vampires in this world don't obtain the energy they need to survive simply by feeding on animals or blood bags.

On the contrary, they must directly absorb the life-energy-rich blood from living people in order to transform it into the nutrients they need.

This means that blood is merely a tool for carrying energy; more importantly, it is the life transformation obtained during the process of drawing blood.

Vampires must constantly attack and lure ordinary people to ensure the continuation of their vampire family.

However, Zhang Cheng's iron-fisted policy of "whoever causes trouble dies" undoubtedly led to a sharp increase in the risk of hunting down ordinary people.
