With the cooperation of the Hundred-Eyed Mirror Demon, Janna’s figure swiftly blended into the mirrored illusion, vanishing from sight.
Seeing Vivian surrounded by the combined efforts of the Flame Guardian and the Thorn Flower Fairy, Janna quickly spread open her palm and gently blew toward the ground beneath her.
In an instant, the sky was filled with [Parasitic Spores], which quietly fell on Vivian like formless willow fluff.
"Pa——"
With a snap of Janna’s fingers, the dense parasitic spores sprouted, growing fine roots that burrowed into Vivian’s body and released a massive amount of neurotoxic paralysis poison.
"Hmm?"
However, contrary to Janna’s expectations, Vivian’s movement speed showed no signs of slowing down from the paralysis toxin injected by [Spore Parasite].
Other than "grass growing on her body," there were no other abnormal conditions.
"Is it [Poison Immunity]?"
Her brow furrowed slightly, but soon Janna’s expression returned to normal.
"It seems Vivian, like Richard-Eva, has also awakened a certain special family bloodline after birth..."
Impressed by Vivian’s evident progress, Janna couldn’t help but silently praise her. But if this was all there was to it, it still wasn’t enough.
Swish—taking advantage of the gap as the Thorn Flower Fairy cornered Vivian, her butterfly wings fluttered lightly, and Janna immediately descended to a position only about five meters away from Vivian.
Then, her figure flickered—Janna, having calculated the distance precisely, used the Hundred-Eyed Mirror Demon’s [Short-Distance Teleportation] to instantly appear in front of Vivian and immediately cast her sorcery.
"Mind, Allure——"
Boom——facing Janna’s [Mind Allure] sorcery, which could be called a “sure kill,” Vivian was completely unfazed.
A chilling wind accompanied the approaching punch—Vivian, who Janna had been waiting for, jumped up and swung her fist straight at Janna’s face.
"Bang bang bang bang——"
Ice shards scattered, the shield trembled.
While casting [Flourishing Guard] to block Vivian’s attack, Janna finally understood why Vivian was immune to [Mind Allure].
"Your eyes—"
Crack—
Under Vivian’s relentless assault, the protective barrier around Janna began to fracture.
At the same time, as Janna swiftly threw seeds around and chanted, over a dozen thick vines, like verdant green pythons, tightly bound Vivian.
Seeing those eerie eyes completely filled with white, Janna knew that Vivian had lost even her vision at this point.
"Poof——"
Flames surged. At the moment Vivian was bound by the vines, the Flame Guardian, who hadn’t landed a single hit until now, puffed its cheeks and spewed a stream of scorching fire toward Vivian.
However, faced with the oncoming wave of heat, Vivian remained motionless, letting the fire strike her directly.
"Ssssss———"
The flames blazed, the vines were utterly destroyed.
Despite her body being severely burned, Vivian stood upright in the flames as if nothing had happened. Witnessing such indifference to pain, a flicker of sympathy passed across Janna’s face.
"Even her sense of pain is gone?"
"Hiss hiss——"
With a hiss, the burnt areas on Vivian’s body gradually became covered with ice-blue scales.
Seeing this, the Flame Guardian, who was ready to press the attack, was halted by just a look from Janna, standing in place with reluctant restraint, waiting for the “enemy” to recover.
"Hiss hiss——"
As the hissing intensified, dense ice-blue scales, like glazed glass, began growing from Vivian’s arms and neck.
Next, her legs fused into a serpent’s body. Under Janna’s watchful gaze, Vivian’s form transformed—her upper body remained human, while her lower half became an ice-blue snake tail.
"As expected, an ice-elemental serpent bloodline..."
Frost-white hair flowed with the wind. Vivian’s face, which had looked somewhat eerie due to the whitened eyes, now appeared enchantingly bewitching thanks to the ice crystal glowing on her forehead.
However, based on just these traits, Janna still couldn’t identify what type of bloodline Vivian had awakened.
"Hiss hiss——"
The hissing resumed without pause. With her transformation complete, Vivian flicked her serpent tail.
In a speed that could only be described as astonishing, she dashed forward, leaving a trail of afterimages, swiftly closing in on Janna.
As Vivian crawled, every spot her serpent tail touched became coated with thick frost, lowering the surrounding temperature significantly.
"Swish——"
Just as Vivian closed in, light flashed again—with the cooperation of the Hundred-Eyed Mirror Demon, Janna instantly teleported into midair.
"Whoosh——"
However, it seemed Janna’s response had been entirely predicted. The moment she teleported, a frost-white mist burst from Vivian’s mouth, directly striking the location where Janna would land.
"Crack——"
The mist enveloped her, frost condensed.
The “Janna” enshrouded in frost was instantly frozen into an ice pillar and crashed to the ground.
Yet, as the ice pillar shattered, “Janna’s” body splintered like a mirror and vanished soon after.
"Eyeless, sense-deprived, toxin-immune——and possessing extraordinary sensory abilities... an ice-elemental serpent-type magical beast.
After a moment’s thought, a rare serpent-type magical beast’s name emerged in Janna’s mind. "Is it a Cochin Viper?"
Bang—dust flew, the serpent tail whipped.
As Vivian’s tail smashed through the mirrored illusion, Janna, hidden behind it, was once again exposed in Vivian’s “sensory vision.”
"Bang bang bang bang!"
Another barrage of ice spikes rained down. With no way to dodge, Janna once again used [Flourishing Guard] to withstand Vivian’s sorcerous assault.
Seeing Janna’s position revealed, Vivian’s tail arched like a bow, and with a powerful leap,
Her hands, now completely covered in ice-blue scales, broke through the Thorn Flower Fairy and Flame Guardian’s encirclement,
Cutting through the wind as she charged straight at Janna.
"Crack——"
Under Vivian’s full-force attack, [Flourishing Guard] finally shattered.
But as the shield broke, a massive fist covered in brown bark, as wide as a barrel, struck toward Vivian.
"Clang—"
Like clashing metal, in the forceful collision, the deformed Tree Demon-faced Janna used the strength of her transformed body to punch Vivian straight away.
"Boom—"
Vivian was slammed into the ground, and the Tree Demon-faced Janna, having lost her butterfly wings, also crashed down, producing a loud thud.
"Enough, the outcome is decided. Both of you, stop now——"
