Hogwarts Summoning Guide

"I thought Your Excellency treated all creatures on Earth equally. After all, no matter how evil they are, none are as disgusting as the possession tricks of your Hastur Church!" Bai Lin scoffed.

Gracua wasn't annoyed at all. Instead, he said calmly, "I can't treat everyone the same. Humans are very special beings, especially wizards. Their flesh and souls are so delicious that even the true gods would drool..."

They started talking like old friends, but in reality, on a spiritual level, both sides had already made their moves.

Grakua naturally activated his Ancient God Domain immediately. Although he had long ago discovered that this move was not very effective against humans with high soul strength in the short term, it would greatly limit people's mental power.

In short, the Ancient God Realm locks a person's mental power into their physical brain. Through probing, hallucinating, manipulating, and tormenting the soul, it gradually makes people lose their minds. The strength of the soul can greatly resist hallucinations and mental torment, but it is difficult to break through the Ancient God Realm's lock on mental power.

Beyond the realm of the ancient gods, Gracchus's spiritual tendrils, almost materialized, twisted and spread outwards from his brain, numbering in the thousands, like a giant umbrella, covering the entire underground space in just a few seconds.

Bai Lin and the others each possess unique skills, and when these spiritual tentacles approached, a protective force naturally rose around them. However, it wasn't just them who were affected; the corpses of the black-clad monsters scattered on the ground actually revived on the spot after these tentacles came into contact with them, their bodies twitching and wobbling as they crawled up.

These monsters, their bodies severely mutilated, some with their heads split into several pieces, were alive. Not like puppets controlled by threads, but rather their souls had been forcibly "stuffed" back into their bodies, allowing them to live through excruciating pain. Their faces were covered in brain matter and blood, their internal organs dragging on the ground, but none of this prevented them from picking up their weapons again. Bai Lin could even sense that they were stronger; within the realm of the ancient gods, some kind of maddening energy had significantly enhanced the strength of these undead.

If an ordinary person saw this scene, they would probably be scared half to death on the spot, but Bai Lin was already used to these disgusting tricks of the ancient gods. Even if these zombies were ten times more powerful, they would not be a match for his Demon Ape Dharma Form. What he really cared about was still Grakua. He knew that Grakua's ultimate move was yet to come. When Grakua focused his attention on him, that would be the most severe test of his strength.

Surprisingly, Yan Nishuang took the initiative first. A faint blue light emanated from her body, and to Bai Lin's astonishment, a green humanoid shadow rose from her body. The shadow was very similar to Yan Nishuang. This shadow also wielded a semi-transparent longsword and severed one of Grakua's spiritual tendrils with a single strike.

"Astral projection?!" Bai Lin was quite frightened. He had previously wondered whether the Eastern magic system, which was the opposite of the Western wizarding system, was really as glorious as myths or cultivation novels. However, the weakness of the Eastern magic world and its worship of Western magic once made Bai Lin doubt the historical heritage of the East, until he met Yan Nishuang and Zhang Xuanyi.

Leaving Zhang Xuanyi aside for now, he possesses the legacy of Longhu Mountain. Although it's only a tenth or a twelfth of the magical heritage of Longhu Mountain at its peak, it's still enough to rival Western magic. However, the constraints of the sect and the requirements for talent mean that Longhu Mountain's magic is unlikely to spread widely in the East, nor can it enhance the power of the entire Eastern magical world. Furthermore, Longhu Mountain's legacy hasn't transcended the power system of "mages," and is fundamentally different from that of the mythological era.

The discovery of the Western Kunlun inheritance by Yan Nishuang first and foremost proves the existence of the mythological era, which is of great significance. As long as that power remains in the East, it will eventually be discovered by people. Bai Lin has never had a good opportunity to discuss in depth with Yan Nishuang what kind of system the power she obtained actually is. If it is just a divine artifact-level sword, then it would be too disappointing.

However, seeing Yan Nishuang directly use her ability to separate her primordial spirit from her body proves the authenticity of the cultivation system. Not to mention high-level ascension, just the fact that she can train thousands of Qi cultivators in the East is enough to make the Eastern magic world rise.

Although the departed primordial spirit has no physical form, it can attack Grakua's spiritual tendrils directly, just like in the physical world. With a few sword strikes, it instantly cleared a small open space in mid-air, and any spiritual power that approached Yan Nishuang was forcibly severed.

Gracua had clearly never encountered such an opponent before. He looked as if he had been pricked on the head with a needle, and his octopus face showed a stinging expression. His attention was naturally drawn to Yan Nishuang behind him. However, with dozens of eyes around his head, whether he turned around or not was another matter.

"Now!" How could Bai Lin miss the opportunity created by Yan Nishuang? His body was instantly engulfed in blazing purple-black flames, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of Grakua, ready to "attack" him.

Catherine, holding a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, swiftly approached Grakua from another direction. The golden light around her transformed into a massive sword blade. Although Catherine herself was not skilled in close combat, the Star Angel Aphrina, whom she inherited, was considered a war god of the Dawn faction. After more than a year of fusion, Catherine had recovered nearly half of the Star Angel's strength.

Grakua let out a cold laugh, and his magnificent silk robe suddenly billowed open without any wind, revealing a gigantic arm, at least a meter thick, facing Bai Lin. The arm was clenched into a fist, with black spikes at the knuckles. Facing Catherine, however, was a thick plume of ink-black smoke, from which the faint wails of ghosts and howls of wolves could be heard, creating an eerie atmosphere.

Bai Lin's fist collided heavily with Grakua's giant arm, producing a booming sound like a bronze bell. The shockwave blew outwards like a missile exploding. Bai Lin felt as if he had been hit by a mountain. The powerful recoil force, as strong as a landslide, forced him to take several steps back. Looking at his right arm, he saw that it was completely twisted and deformed from the back of his hand to his shoulder. If he were not in his demonic ape form but in his flesh and blood body, his entire arm would be ruined by now.

White Scale of Gracchus was not unfamiliar to him; in fact, he was quite familiar with it. Wasn't this his trump card move, "Og's Fist"?

Meanwhile, Catherine had already rushed into the thick black smoke. She thought that no matter how strong the defense was, it could be broken by her Heavenly Sword attack. But this was no ordinary black smoke. Catherine's vision went black, and when she regained her sight, she had left the underground space of London Bridge and appeared in an unfamiliar place.

The desolate land was filled with smoke and screams. Thousands of knights in silver armor, carrying cross banners, were chasing a group of ragged civilians across the wilderness, leaving a trail of blood wherever they went.

"This is... the Crusades??" Catherine realized instantly.

In the underground space, the undead had completely surrounded Yan Nishuang, while Grakua sneered at Bai Lin, saying, "Poor Lord Bai Lin, do you think I spared your life until now out of mercy?"
