Chapter 226 : The Fifth Contracted Creature
Chapter 226: The Fifth Contracted Creature
Upon hearing Nia-Flame's transmitted voice, Bell-Moonshadow also stepped out from the shadows.
As Nia-Flame had said, with just the two of them, it would be extremely difficult to find Janna in a short period of time.
Therefore, they needed to first eliminate the two contracted creatures on the field for André-Green and Marlowe-Haig.
Only then, with the four of them working together, would it be easier to break the mirror illusion and find Janna hidden behind it.
After quickly confirming their plan, Nia-Flame and Bell-Moonshadow exchanged a glance, then turned around and charged towards the Flame Guardian and the Thorn Flower Fairy, respectively.
"Crackle—"
Just as Nia-Flame was about to launch a surprise attack on the Thorn Flower Fairy, suddenly, a white bolt of lightning accompanied by a loud bang surged in, giving André-Green no chance to react, and struck him directly.
"Ah—" Accompanied by a miserable scream, André-Green, hit by the lightning, fell to the ground and lost consciousness.
Seeing this, the other three couldn't help but pause, their eyes filled with shock.
"Is it lightning-elemental sorcery!?"
The crackling continued, giving them no chance to react. As the second bolt of lightning struck, this time the target was Marlowe-Haig, who was engaged in battle with the Flame Guardian.
"Be careful!"
Crack—
The shield shattered, and his body convulsed.
Despite Nia-Flame's loud warning, the second lightning attack couldn't be stopped.
However, Marlowe-Haig, already on guard, managed to endure it under the protection of multiple layers of shields.
But as Marlowe-Haig's water shield shattered, the Flame Guardian, previously being pushed back by him, seized the opportunity to counterattack.
A large mass of flames, like a ferocious fire serpent, bared its fangs and pounced towards Marlowe-Haig.
"Shadow—"
Just as the flames were about to engulf Marlowe-Haig, a dense shadow instantly wrapped around him, then merged into the ground and disappeared.
"She already has a fifth contracted creature—"
Hiding in the shadows with Marlowe-Haig, Bell-Moonshadow looked at the cloud-shaped creature in the sky, continuously flashing with lightning. A complex emotion flickered in her eyes.
In the end, all emotions turned into a sigh, causing Bell-Moonshadow's previously straight back to show signs of collapsing for the first time—
Outside the combat training ground, silence also fell.
Especially for Hugh-Stone and Lowe-Silverfox, who were more familiar with Janna. Upon seeing her fifth contracted creature, their expressions were filled with heaviness.
"Her fifth contracted creature—is actually lightning-elemental—"
Unlike other common elements, lightning-elemental sorcery has always been known for its dominance and power.
Just like the second-level sorcerer apprentice, Raymond, encountered in the Black Bone Forest within the swamp secret realm. It was because of his lightning-elemental sorcery that he made a notorious name among the apprentices of the same level in Turin.
At that time, under the influence of illusion, Raymond even killed an unguarded apprentice with a single move.
Now, the same situation appeared in the combat training ground of White Coral Academy. Although André-Green wouldn't die, he still lost consciousness directly under the lightning attack.
"So this is her true trump card—"
Sigh—
Letting out another sigh, Hugh-Stone, who had originally wanted to challenge Janna in this black magic defense class, completely abandoned the idea.
Not only him, but all the apprentices present also extinguished their thoughts of challenging her after watching these two battles.
They silently observed the situation on the field, measuring the huge gap between themselves and Janna in their hearts.
"Didn't expect, she still held back a move."
Looking at the combat training ground, which had once again fallen into a stalemate, Grace-Eva couldn't help but frown.
"Is she aiming for a draw?"
Looking at the cloud-shaped creature in the sky, which no longer actively attacked, Grace-Eva thought for a moment, then snapped her fingers.
"Crack———"
Trees disappeared, rocks protruded.
In just an instant, the scene in the combat training ground changed again. Soon, the forest scene full of dense woods reverted to the original rocky terrain.
"Truly a troublesome apprentice———"
Grace-Eva, who had restored the field, still showed no expression on her face. However, some of her inadvertent actions revealed her inner embarrassment.
Even Grace-Eva herself might not have expected that one day, she, a formal sorcerer, would be driven to such a state by an apprentice.
"Why has the field changed again?"
Originally transformed into a tree, Janna looked at the surroundings, which had returned to the rocky terrain. Her gaze couldn't help but once again fall on Grace-Eva outside the training ground.
"Seems like I can't proceed steadily anymore."
As all the trees disappeared, Janna, who had intended to slowly "grind down" the opponents, could no longer continue hiding and directly exited the [Tree Form].
In fact, Janna's idea was simple. After the surprise attacks on André-Green and Marlowe-Haig, the lightning power accumulated by the Thunder Cloud had already been significantly consumed.
Therefore, while the other three didn't dare to act rashly, Janna wanted the Thunder Cloud to take the opportunity to recover its magic power, while she utilized the advantage of the forest terrain to secretly find opportunities to defeat them one by one.
However, due to the field changing again, Janna's disguise was broken, and she had to reveal herself once more.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—" Shadows entwined, water serpents roared, and coupled with Nia-Flame's close-range attacks—
Just as Janna appeared, the three who had been waiting for an opportunity almost simultaneously cast sorcery, attacking Janna.
Seeing this, her figure flashed again. With the [Short-Distance Teleportation] of the Hundred-Eyed Mirror Demon activated once more, Janna instantly teleported into the air, spread her butterfly wings, and dodged the attacks from behind.
"Stop them——"
Hearing Janna's command, the Thorn Flower Fairy immediately directed the thorns to entangle Nia-Flame.
The Flame Guardian, on the other hand, leaped to block Marlowe-Haig, using its body to form a wall of fire, obstructing the attacks from the others.
"Get out of my way!"
Looking at the thorns entangling her, Nia-Flame, who had completely fallen into a berserk state, violently tore off the thorns on her body, glaring with blood-red eyes as she charged towards Janna.
"Ooooh—"
At this moment, not only Nia-Flame, but also Bell-Moonshadow, who had been hiding in the dark seeking an opportunity, upon confirming that the Janna in the air was not an illusion, quickly chanted a spell, using the power of shadows to firmly trap the Thorn Flower Fairy chasing Nia-Flame.
Then, placing her hands on the ground, with a wolf's howl, the shadow wolf that had signed a shadow contract with Bell-Moonshadow appeared beneath her. With a kick of its hind legs, it carried Bell-Moonshadow, following her command, and pounced towards Janna in mid-air.
"Master!"
Seeing Janna about to be attacked by two people and a wolf, the Celestial Sparrow, while maintaining the protective barrier, also looked at Janna with an anxious expression.
