Chapter 55
As Anna was charging towards the enemy, she quickly tossed a few bizarre magical rings onto Mary’s body.
Confusion spell!
Slow spell!
One spell could confuse the target’s mind and cause there to be a delay in their reactions, while the other one could reduce the target’s movement speed by nearly half. If the target didn’t have immunity or couldn’t quickly dispel them, then these two simple curses could lower their strength by more than thirty percent.
But, Anna wasn’t done yet! She cried out and stretched her arms out, facing her palms towards the sky. A strange-looking, glowing green rune soon appeared on each palm. Almost as soon as those runes appeared, the lower section of Anna’s arm began to transform into green vines. These vines brought about a fierce gale and began to whip Mary, who was standing there, motionless.
It was Spirit Summoning.
However, Anna’s Spirit Summoning spell was quite unique and could massively enhance her combat ability. This was because she could actually let a part of her body merge with the summoned spirit.
The powerful whip smashed into the ground, causing two large cracks to branch out like a spider web. As the debris shot in all directions, Mary’s body suddenly turned into a series of after-images, and, within a split second, she appeared beside Anna.
The sound of flesh being cut rang through the air. Mary bent over and stared at Anna’s head. She reached out and, using her sharp nails, she sliced through Anna’s firm skin. Then, she sunk her fangs into the area where the head and the stalk met.
The quick, sucking motion made Anna go berserk. She struggled desperately, waving her arms and using them to violently whip Mary’s mutilated back. However, no matter how hard she tried, there was no way to stop the vampire from wildly sucking her blood.
As more of her blood essence was drained, the power behind Anna’s whip began to shrink. Finally, her arm dropped and her body began to quickly dry up. Her eyes, hiding behind her petals, began to hopelessly close.
As her life force was quickly departing from her body, Anna could no longer maintain her summoned spirit body transformation. Her body kept shrinking
and transforming and finally returned to her original human form. Just as she died, Greem ordered the Demon Alligator to open its huge mouth and swallow Mary and the dead body into its body. It then turned to Greem and did the same before quickly descending into the earth again.
The moment after they had disappeared, a loud boom was sounded out from a cave wall on the far side. Parts of the cave wall crumbled, resulting in a huge hold. A Pseudo-Adept, whose black robe was covered in a mist of green, illuminating light, sprinted into the cave.
As he stared at the remains of, what seemed to be, an incredibly tumultuous battle, and smelled the stinking vomit that had spilled all over the cave, Gary unintentionally let out an extremely angry roar.
He didn’t roar because he was heartbroken about Anna’s death. He simply hated the fact that the enemy had used the simple method of luring the strong and striking at the weak to eliminate his partner. This… this action simply displayed contempt towards him!
“You bastards! Come out and fight me now, damn it! I’ve remembered your auras. You better not let me bump into you again. I…”
After spending a long time furiously roaring into the cave, Gary had never sensed any abnormal auras. Left with no choice, Pseudo-Adept Gary turned around and dissolved into the darkness of the tunnel.
