Chapter 333: Intense Battle
ㄴAs the vines swept toward Yulan-Bloodred, Janna quickly recited an incantation.
「By my will, I command you, summon one—Radiant Dream Butterfly.」
「By my will, I command you, summon one—Lightning Accumulation Cloud.」
「By my will, I command you——」
Time was needed. Light flowed, and as the chants ended, besides the Celestial Finch and the Hundred-Eyed Specter who had been summoned in advance,
Radiant Dream Butterfly, Lightning Accumulation Cloud, Flame Guardian, and Thornflower Sprite were also summoned by Janna one after another.
「I advise you not to toast with good wine only to end up drinking the penalty wine.」
Seeing the Contracted Creatures appearing in succession, the already severely injured clone of Yulan-Bloodred grew visibly impatient.
「Hold him off!」
Janna completely ignored Yulan-Bloodred's threat. Now that it was clear the other party could easily locate her, she no longer intended to just keep running. Instead, she seized the moment while her enemy remained gravely wounded to strike—until reinforcements arrived.
「Rippla—」
At Janna’s command, Lightning Accumulation Cloud launched the first attack.
As the cloud rapidly darkened, a dazzling white bolt of lightning surged forth, carrying immense destructive force, targeting Yulan-Bloodred’s head.
「Squeak squeak—」
The moment the lightning struck, Yulan-Bloodred’s body split into dozens of bats, escaping the vine's restraint and evading Lightning Accumulation Cloud’s electric attack.
「Rippla—」
Watching the swarm of bats in the sky, Lightning Accumulation Cloud, known for its powerful single-target attacks, now faced a drastic drop in efficiency and could only continuously unleash lightning to strike down a few scattered bats.
「Zzzt—」
Seeing this, the long-prepared Flame Guardian immediately transformed into a massive net of fire, enveloping the bats darting across the sky.
「Snap!」
Just as the orange fire net was about to engulf the entire bat swarm, a blood-red whip slithered out ghost-like from behind Janna, shattering the fire net instantly and ruthlessly whipping Lightning Accumulation Cloud from the sky to the ground.
「I told you, don’t refuse a toast only to be forced to drink the penalty wine.
Crack—
As Yulan-Bloodred grabbed “Janna” by the arm, he found the figure before him shattering like fragments of a mirror.
「An illusion, huh—」
Seeing the figure vanish completely, Yulan-Bloodred, though irritated, was surprised by Janna's mastery of illusion magic.
Though this clone of Yulan-Bloodred possessed only Pre-Wizard level power, his true body had long reached First Tier Wizard. For him, ordinary illusions were no different from mere tricks.
However, the Mirror Illusion Janna had just cast already carried traces of [Law] power—
「Was it teleportation?」
Across the Mirror Illusion, seeing Yulan-Bloodred appear behind “Janna” without any warning, a flicker of doubt crossed Janna’s eyes.
But she quickly dismissed the thought.
「Rather than teleportation, it’s more like an advanced shadow evasion technique———」
「Found you.」
Just as Janna was still analyzing her opponent’s tactics, suddenly, a silver-furred claw appeared before her.
「Swish—」
Silver light flashed. At the moment the claw was about to pierce Janna’s chest, the Hundred-Eyed Specter activated [Short-Range Blink], teleporting Janna into midair.
「I told you, you can’t escape.」
Hardly had Janna completed her blink when Yulan-Bloodred appeared behind her again—the time interval was less than a second.
「Mr. Yulan.」
Staring at the looming Yulan-Bloodred, Janna softly called his name and once again lifted her head.
[Character Talents Activated: Voice of the Heavens]
[Law of Beauty Activated: Beauty of Appearance]
Her breath was like orchids, her eyes flowed like water.
Having already experienced Janna’s potent Mental Charm Witchcraft, Yulan-Bloodred closed his eyes the moment she looked up. Yet, her heavenly voice still caused his will to waver momentarily.
「So it’s the power of Law.」
Because the blood servant clone of Yulan-Bloodred had not reached a full Wizard’s level, when Janna invoked the [Fragment of the Law of Beauty], the clone inevitably fell under its influence.
Of course, beyond this factor, Yulan-Bloodred had always been weak against beautiful things. Especially when facing someone like Janna, a rare beauty, it was hard for him not to be swayed.
「Plop—」
With a light flutter, the Radiant Dream Butterfly hidden in Janna’s hair stirred, flapping its seven-colored wings and letting its scales scatter with the evening breeze, dusting Yulan-Bloodred and deepening his state of “infatuation.”
「Rustle—」
Seizing the moment when Yulan-Bloodred was stunned by Janna and Radiant Dream Butterfly’s joint control, the Thornflower Sprite in its magic flower form sprang from underground and swallowed Yulan-Bloodred whole into its flower bud.
「Thorny Laura, now!」
At once, receiving the command, Lightning Accumulation Cloud fired a lightning bolt as thick as a bucket at the flower bud. Simultaneously, the ready Flame Guardian launched an orange fireball tinged with blue outer flames at the same target.
「Boom!」
Electricity and fire intertwined. When the two forces struck the bud, a deafening explosion followed—blasting the Thornflower Sprite’s magic flower form to bits. Yulan-Bloodred, inside the bud, was also charred to a crisp by the devastating force.
「Laura, are you alright?」
Seeing Yulan-Bloodred’s charred corpse, Janna’s tense nerves finally relaxed a little. Yet, concerned about the scorched plant remains, she quickly used telepathy to check the Thornflower Sprite’s condition.
「Master, I’m fine.」
The soil stirred, and a flower blossomed. Seeing the Thornflower Sprite splitting off a new magic flower clone, Janna secretly marveled at its vitality and felt relieved.
「Laura, go ahead and devour his corpse. Consider it your nourishment————cough, cough!」
Before she could finish her sentence, a sudden weakness—an acute loss of life force—made Janna cough violently.
「This is the disease contamination brought by the [Blood Law]... because of the previous battle with Richard-Eva’s Law, Janna was extremely familiar with the [Blood Law].」
「I’ll kill you!」
The charred body stirred, radiating murderous intent.
Just when they thought Yulan-Bloodred had been incinerated by Lightning Accumulation Cloud and Flame Guardian, he emerged from the “corpse” in the form of a massive bat, flying madly toward Janna.
「You’re really hard to kill.」
Watching the gigantic bat close in, Janna wiped the blood from the corner of her lips and immediately gripped the [White Bone Medal] on her chest.
