404: Chapter 404 News of the Lord of Nightmares

"No way, so your refusal was just lip service?"

"You didn't even last three seconds—no, that's not right—you didn't even last through a single sentence from Qin Ge before compromising?"

"Come on, you are the Desire Demoness!"

"You're the big boss behind the scenes who destroyed the Magic World and led the Doomsday World to its doom."

"Do you have to be so spineless?"

Bai Jing tilted her head, eyeing Yun Qing, and muttered suspiciously.

Yun Qing couldn't be bothered to respond.

She couldn't kill her.

Bewitching Bai Jing would only end up leaving a better impression of her on Qin Ge for nothing.

She simply chose to ignore her.

She turned her head, looked at Qin Ge, and said seriously, "I agreed to teach this girl named Ye Qingyi for you, but let's be clear beforehand: I will teach her, but whether she can learn it or not is her own business."

"I am the only Destruction-type mage in the Magic World, and the only one in all the worlds I have observed so far."

"Everything I have learned is Destruction-type magic. While it is immensely powerful, the difficulty of mastering it is equally astronomical."

"At the very least, none of the Demon Race under my command have been able to learn Destruction-type magic; they couldn't even get past the entry level."

She truly had no intention of holding anything back.

But in her view, Qin Ge's idea was too naive.

Her Destruction-type magic could only be mastered by her alone.

Even if she taught everything she knew, Guardian Dantai Qingyue would not be able to comprehend it.

Let alone Ye Qingyi!

"Let's give it a try. What if it works?"

Qin Ge tilted his chin, "There's no time like the present. Teach her now."

It was a matter of all benefit and no harm.

Might as well give it a try.

"Fine."

Yun Qing walked slowly toward Ye Qingyi.

The obedient Ye Qingyi immediately puffed out her chest, pulled in her stomach, stuck out her buttocks, and stared straight ahead with a firm gaze.

"Since you are currently an Eighth-Tier Fire Elementalist, I will teach you a Fire-type destruction spell."

As Yun Qing began her instruction, the Traffic Light Trio, Cui Yunxuan, Xiao Ju, and even Bai Jing on the sidelines, all pricked up their ears.

Yun Qing might lack principles, but no one could call her incompetent.

This was the Desire Demoness herself.

The Desire Demoness who managed to escape even when Guardian Dantai Qingyue, Luo Li, and the Moon Goddess joined forces against her.

If one could catch even a glimpse of her methods, becoming a Tenth-Order Esper would be a piece of cake!

"First, you must learn to collapse flames, then gather all your fire abilities, continuously compress them, and finally, release them violently. This is the Destruction-type magic 'Heavenly Fire Burning the City'!"

The trio, who had been listening to Yun Qing halfway through, had their ears perked up like antennas and curiously asked, "And then?"

Yun Qing rolled her eyes dramatically, "What 'and then'? I've already explained it in such detail!"

Bai Jing couldn't help but retort, "Are you kidding me? I thought my teaching was abstract enough, but you, Yun Qing, are even more abstract than me!?"

"Destruction-type magic is immensely powerful, yet you summed it up in a single sentence. How is she supposed to learn that?"

"At the very least, you should demonstrate it, right?"

Yun Qing shook her head indifferently, "I can't demonstrate it. My magic power hasn't fully recovered yet!"

To put it bluntly, she hadn't even recovered one percent of her magic power.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be in this state right now.

No longer needing to fear the deterrent of Bai Jing's thunder.

"Just like that, take your time learning it."

"With your current ability strength as an Eighth-Tier Fire Elementalist, if you master this Destruction-type spell, killing a Tenth-Order Esper above your level will be a breeze."

Yun Qing patted Ye Qingyi on the shoulder, then turned her head to look at Qin Ge, getting straight to the point, "The Nightmare Clan in the surrounding area has already been dealt with by me!"

"The core of the Nightmare Clan has also been breached, allowing me to successfully steal news of the Lord of Nightmares."

"However, unexpectedly, these guys didn't rashly invade Blue Star. They knew that Guardian Dantai Qingyue was on Blue Star, so they chose a roundabout strategy. Small units entered Blue Star to gather intelligence, while the actual main force has already entered the Doomsday World, and the Lord of Nightmares is among them."

"Their goal is to take down the Doomsday World, and then use the Doomsday World as a springboard to conquer Blue Star in one fell swoop!"

Yun Qing paused, looked at Qin Ge, and said seriously, "You also know that the Doomsday World and Blue Star currently have areas where their world wills are intertwined."

"If the Nightmare Clan conquers the Doomsday World, it will inevitably lead to damage to Blue Star's Origin. At that point, Guardian Dantai Qingyue's strength will inevitably be affected."

"This is the way for the Nightmare Demon Clan to conquer Blue Star with the least amount of casualties."

Qin Ge frowned, "The Nightmare Clan invaded the Doomsday World? Wouldn't that mean Jiang Ling and Luo Li and the others are in danger?"

Yun Qing shook her head, "No danger, at least not for now."

"Before the Nightmare Clan has fully grasped an absolute overwhelming advantage, they won't alert the enemy by attacking those Seven Martial Sisters of Luo Li."

"After all, provoking those Seven Martial Sisters is equivalent to provoking you, Qin Ge, and Guardian Dantai Qingyue. The Nightmare Clan knows the stakes."

"Right now, the Nightmare Clan has already dominated the vast majority of the natives in the Doomsday World."

"Once these natives' strength improves and they clash with the Haicheng Base where Luo Li and the other Seven Martial Sisters are located, the Nightmare Clan will then seize the opportunity to intervene, and the battle will be finished in a flash!"

Qin Ge narrowed his eyes, glanced at Yun Qing, and asked, "Do you know the headquarters of the Nightmare Clan?"

Yun Qing nodded, speaking straight without any concealment, "I do. However, that Lord of Nightmares can be considered a powerhouse even within the Nightmare Demon Clan."

"Even if you reveal all your trump cards, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to eliminate him on your own."

"Although I would love to help you, my magic power is still very thin right now."

"If you want to ensure success, you and Guardian Dantai Qingyue should go to the Doomsday World together and lure the Lord of Nightmares to the Sea City area, the place where the world Origins are intertwined, which will allow Guardian Dantai Qingyue to unleash her full power."

"Only then will you have a sure chance of victory!"

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

Just as Qin Ge was deep in thought, Ye Qingyi, who was standing at the very front of the horse farm, raised her jade hand. In her palm, flickers of extinguishing fire continuously died out, making strange noises.

In less than ten breaths.

Hum, hum, hum—

Suddenly, a black hole about the size of a human head appeared in the sky above the horse farm.

As if devouring everything, it rapidly expanded right before everyone's eyes at a speed visible to the naked eye.

As the black hole expanded, the dense pitch-black color grew dimmer and actually began to transform into a deep red.

Immediately,

the black hole, which was only the size of a human head, transformed in the blink of an eye into a massive fireball with a diameter of about ten zhang.

The terrifying high temperature, just by appearing, scorched the grass and vegetation below the horse farm, causing them to curl up rapidly.

Even the ground began to crack.
