Chapter 308: Fusion of Laws
Thinking of this, a blind spot that Janna hadn’t even noticed suddenly flashed through her otherwise disordered thoughts.
“Death, frost, life—”
After repeating what Hellman-Rose had said once more, Janna realized that what he mentioned was not two forces, but three.
“Clack clack clack…”
Suppressing the chattering of her teeth, she gently wiped the frost that had formed on her eyelashes. As she looked at the dense death aura around her, Janna slowly raised her frozen arm and pointed forward.
“Growth—”
Rustle—
As emerald light surged from Janna’s palm, a field of snow-colored lotuses quickly sprouted from the pitch-black ice. But in just an instant, the lotuses, covered in frost and death aura, rapidly withered and crumbled to dust.
“That force just now—”
Though Janna’s physical condition was currently terrible, relying on her exceptional Perception attribute, she still felt that at the moment the lotuses bloomed, the three forces—representing Death, Frost, and Growth—actually began to fuse.
And from that, a fourth force was born—the power of Withering.
“Although it lasted only a short time, I can be sure—that was the power of the Withering Law.”
Despite her teeth still chattering, an unusual gleam appeared in Janna’s eyes.
She hadn’t expected that what started as an unintentional attempt had actually allowed her to grasp the power of the Withering Law.
Of course, this was mainly thanks to Hellman-Rose’s hint. Without it, Janna would not have been able to find a path to comprehend the Withering Law so easily.
“The advantage of a wizarding family truly isn’t something an ordinary lay apprentice can compare with—”
Looking at Hellman-Rose, who was not far away and had all his attention focused on Vivian, Janna couldn’t help but sigh in her heart.
Janna had always noticed Vivian’s rapid progress over the past year. Besides admiring her hard work, Janna also developed a more intuitive understanding of the innate advantage possessed by wizarding families.
Especially when Vivian resolutely gave up her Witch Talents and chose the warlock path, the early resource advantage of the Rose Family became extremely evident in her.
“With sufficient resources in the early stage, the promotion speed of the warlock path truly exceeds what ordinary witch apprentices can reach—but likewise, if a warlock wishes to grow stronger in the future, the price required is also much higher than that of an ordinary witch.”
Thinking this, Janna mentally searched for powerful warlocks across the continent, but she found that no matter how strong a warlock was, they were still far from being a match for the Lord of the Ocean, Themis-Russell, who wielded the Law of Catastrophe and Ocean—
“Ha—”
Blowing a warm breath onto her palm, Janna looked at Vivian still resisting the extreme cold, and cleared her scattered thoughts, continuing to apply the power of the Growth Law Fragment toward the area dense with death aura.
“Time’s up. We can go now.”
An hour later, Vivian, whose mind was on the verge of freezing, slowly opened her eyes. And the first thing she did was not check on herself—but look for Janna.
“You don’t need to look. She’s already gone up.”
Fifteen minutes earlier, when Janna’s body had nearly reached its cold endurance limit, she gave up further comprehension of the power of Withering and used the last of her strength to control the vines, returning to the top of the canyon in time.
“Let’s go.”
Seeing Vivian unable to move, Hellman-Rose shook his head and lightly tapped his foot. A massive ice pillar grew from beneath them and quickly expanded. In no time, it reached an astounding height, as tall as the canyon.
“What an astonishing mastery of the Law—”
As she rested on the edge of the canyon to recover, Janna saw the two jumping down from the ice pillar and felt a shocking sense that her perception of reality had been shaken.
Though the canyon in the extreme cold region looked deep, its actual height was only about fifteen hundred meters. Compared to famous canyons on the continent, it was hardly worth mentioning.
Still, even for fifteen hundred meters, for an ice pillar that appeared so “fragile” under Hellman-Rose’s feet to reach such height without breaking was already beyond natural law.
“Crack—”
While Janna was still in awe, the ice pillar that had carried Hellman-Rose and Vivian up suddenly snapped.
Followed by a thunderous crash—the nearly fifteen-hundred-meter-tall ice pillar collapsed just like that.
“Might as well have flown up directly—”
Watching Hellman-Rose thawing Vivian beside her, Janna couldn’t help but grumble inwardly. Yet, witnessing his display just now stirred a bit of yearning in her heart.
“Once I become a full-fledged witch and master the Growth Law, I should be able to do the same.”
With her current mastery of the Growth Law Fragment, Janna could only make a vine grow to about one or two hundred meters. Any longer would exceed her limit.
But once she fully mastered the Growth Law, she could make any plant grow up to a kilometer tall if she wished.
Even in winter, she could easily make a withered forest bloom again—achieving a true spring rebirth for dead wood.
“Let’s go. If we don’t leave now, your Sun Medallion might not hold up much longer.”
“Thank you.”
The wind roared. As a flurry of snow rose under their feet, with Hellman-Rose’s acceleration, the one-hour journey took less than fifteen minutes. The three of them returned to the teleportation formation’s location.
“Mr. Hellman, let me support Vivian.”
“Alright.”
After placing Vivian, who had returned to her human form, beside Janna, Hellman-Rose infused mana into the teleportation array beneath their feet.
“Be sure to stand firm. The trip back might be unpleasant—”
Unpleasant?
Before Janna could react, a burst of white light enveloped the three of them. What followed was an intense wave of dizziness that made Janna’s steps falter slightly.
“So this is what Mr. Hellman meant by unpleasant…”
Compared to when they arrived, it took nearly three minutes for the three of them to return from the Extreme Cold Secret Realm back to the underground chamber.
