Chapter 227 : Law Aura
Chapter 227: Law Aura
"Crackle—"
Lightning flashed, thunder roared. Facing the ferocious attacks from both sides, the sky filled with lightning transformed into a massive electric net, intercepting between Bell-Moonshadow and Nia-Flame.
"Growl—"
At the moment the lightning condensed, a radiant golden Sacred Flame was also expelled from the mouth of the Celestial Sparrow, aiming at the Shadow Demon Wolf beneath Bell-Moonshadow.
"Yelp!"
Even before the flame got close, the previously vicious Shadow Demon Wolf, as if confronted by its most terrifying nemesis, showed no hesitation. It immediately threw off Bell-Moonshadow and scrambled away from the Sacred Flame like a frightened beast.
"Get back here!"
Watching the Shadow Demon Wolf vanish into the shadows, Bell-Moonshadow, who had landed back on the ground, was overwhelmed with the urge to flay it alive.
However, due to the weak binding power of the Shadow Contract, there was nothing Bell-Moonshadow could do. She still had to pay the full summoning fee as usual.
"Roar—"
Unlike Bell-Moonshadow, who had fallen back to the ground, Nia-Flame had forcibly pushed through the electric net with the sturdy physique of the Lava Dragon Lizard. At this moment, she was less than five meters away from Janna.
Her hands covered in scales, long tail lashing out, Nia-Flame, already in a berserk state, gathered all her strength into her right hand and lunged toward Janna.
"Victory is mine!"
Crack—with Nia-Flame's roar, the first protective barrier constructed by the Celestial Sparrow shattered on impact.
Immediately after, just as her claw-shaped right hand was about to touch the Flourishing Guard barrier, the face always hidden behind the illusion finally revealed itself.
"Don’t look at her face—"
Fully aware of the power of Janna’s Mind Allure, Bell-Moonshadow quickly warned Nia-Flame through telepathy.
Upon hearing the warning, Nia-Flame, who had already sealed off her hearing, shut her eyes immediately to avoid the enthralling control.
"Look at me."
Even with her hearing sealed, Nia-Flame still heard Janna’s voice—something wasn’t right!
This voice wasn’t heard through her ears. It resonated directly within her mind.
"Is it witchcraft transmission!?"
Even as her brain frantically signaled danger, Nia-Flame’s body seemed bewitched, completely out of control. Her eyes opened involuntarily and locked onto Janna.
"Nia, I’m Janna, the one you’re meant to protect."
"Janna—the one to protect—"
That face, as if blessed by the gods, filled Nia-Flame’s vision.
It was like the chant of an angel, the temptation of a devil. As Nia-Flame gazed upon that face, the magic she had been accumulating dissipated unknowingly. Even her fist, poised to strike the Flourishing Guard, relaxed and slowly lowered.
"That is... Law Aura!?"
Outside the combat training arena, watching the surge of law power from Janna, Grace-Eva, who had been observing her the entire time, found herself holding her breath for a brief moment.
"She’s actually... mastered two Law Fragments!?"
Unbelievable—
It was simply too incredible!
An ordinary apprentice without any family backing had somehow managed to master two Law Fragments while still at the second-tier apprentice level. In the entire wizarding world, such a thing was exceedingly rare.
"Could it be that Extraordinary Charm is the reason she comprehended the second Law Fragment—"
After a brief moment of shock, Grace-Eva quickly regained her composure.
Immediately, from the continuous surge of Law Aura around Janna, she deduced that the second Law Fragment must belong to a specific domain branch under the Law of Beauty.
This branch, most commonly mastered by beings with natural Extraordinary Charm, such as Abyssal Succubi, Oak Dryads, and Deep Sea Mermaids, was the Beauty of Appearance under the Law of Beauty.
"Could it be... she has the bloodline of an 'Oak Dryad'?"
Just like the black cat Bell before, Grace-Eva inferred from Janna’s B-grade Plant Affinity and Extraordinary Charm attribute that she likely possessed the bloodline of an "Oak Dryad."
However, until now, Grace-Eva could not detect any other bloodline aura from Janna. Theoretically, by the time one reached the second-tier wizard apprentice level, if one possessed any extraordinary bloodline, there would be clear signs.
Just like Vivienne, who recently awakened the Cochin Viper bloodline, was a perfect example.
Not only did her hair color change, but even her personality, aura, magical presence, and the scent of her blood had undergone varying degrees of transformation.
But in Janna’s case, Grace-Eva detected none of these changes—if anything, it was merely that Janna’s looks had become more beautiful with age.
However, that alone could not serve as evidence of possessing the "Oak Dryad" bloodline.
"What an elusive apprentice—"
Unlike Grace-Eva, who could discern the essence with wizard-level insight, the apprentices in the audience were all fixated on Janna’s face at this moment, their breathing audibly heavier.
"What powerful charm control—at this level, she’s nearly on par with an Abyssal Succubus."
Looking at Nia-Flame, who had been so fierce just moments ago but now moved like a puppet, Houston muttered to himself from the audience.
Sitting beside him, Lowe-Silverfox also nodded in agreement.
Unlike Houston, who was a novice in Mental Control-type witchcraft, Lowe-Silverfox, well-versed in both Illusion and Mental Control witchcraft, could clearly see the extraordinary nature of Janna’s current Mind Allure spell.
To be honest, Lowe-Silverfox also knew that spell, but its power only allowed him to barely immobilize an enemy for half a second—and even then, it had a high chance of failing.
What Janna demonstrated, however, not only immobilized her opponent's body, but also seized control of their mind. This level of mental domination was something Lowe-Silverfox could hardly imagine.
Unless he could master the Silverfox Family’s Nightmare Law Fragment, there was no way he could achieve such effects—even as a third-tier wizard apprentice.
"Could it be... she’s already mastered a Law Fragment?"
At that thought, Lowe-Silverfox’s gaze on Janna grew distant, and even his facial expression became increasingly complex.
