What audacity! He's courting death by attempting to challenge King Augustine of Xingli once again. It seems he's forgotten how he suffered a crushing defeat seven years ago.
Wang still doesn't know what tricks he used to release Shirley's soul.
Has the Soul-Seizing Technique gone wrong? Has someone secretly stolen the real jade stone?
Or perhaps the essence of the soul within it was leaked out at some unknown time?
Augustine prepared to fight back, and with a wave of his hand, angrily threw the now useless "empty shell" over the cliff.
After tracing a graceful arc, the jade divine wind stone fell to the bottom of the cliff. At this moment, Wang drew his sword from his waist, the sun shining brightly behind him.
(This is the moment I've been waiting for—)
Philsa unleashed all of his magical energy in an instant, the aurora light dazzlingly bright. The speed of his attack forced Augustine to tighten his defenses.
Although such a low-level trick wouldn't pose much of a threat to him, he still didn't want his golden armor to be damaged.
Like a thunderclap, Philsa vanished without a trace, leaving behind the ice sword that had just fallen to the ground with a clang, and the girl who collapsed to the ground like a broken puppet.
The enemy had vanished without a trace right before his eyes, and Augustine was momentarily bewildered. Had they deserted in the face of battle?
In fact, Philsa activated the power of the wind vortex while simultaneously manipulating his extreme ice magic runes. His magic power was being consumed in two ways, and he could barely wait until Augustine released the emerald stone.
Originally, the power of the vortex belonged only to Sherry.
Before she died, she condensed all her magic into a mark and engraved it on Philsa's hand, so that he could inherit a portion of the vortex magic.
Today, while Augustine wasn't looking, he secretly injected wind vortex magic into the doll that resembled Sherry, temporarily bringing her to "life."
Although Felsa's "Wind Vortex" was not as powerful as when its former master used it, it was still more than enough to fool someone like Augustine who didn't understand the power of wind vortexes, plus a little bit of acting skill.
Suddenly realizing the truth, Augustine's eyes instantly tracked the aurora's trajectory—the aurora was trying to catch up with the emerald stone falling off the cliff, so he fired a series of light orbs at it. A dozen or so explosions erupted across the mountain range, golden light staining the night sky.
The series of strange events alarmed Jellal Snow, who was waiting at the foot of the mountain. She prayed for Felsa's return.
The intense sunlight shining in the night sky was extremely ominous, especially for her. Even Augustine's murderous intent seemed to emanate from the foot of the mountain, as if to strangle anything that angered him.
Sensing all of this, Jielu was terrified and trembling all over.
However, at the same time, she also knew in her heart that Philsa's plan seemed to have succeeded!
Rumor has it that, under fair circumstances, Augustine could easily defeat Firza;
Even if the latter uses tricks, he may not be able to bridge the gap between them. But today he doesn't need to defeat Augustine; he only needs to take back the emerald in his hands.
The deadline is almost here, why is there still no sign of Philsa?
Were they trapped? She desperately wanted to rush to their rescue.
Before Wang could see through the trick, the uninvited guest, Philsa, who had transformed into the aurora, had already fled the banquet and disappeared.
It is estimated that Firza will be reunited with his companions and leave together in just a few seconds.
The king was furious and immediately issued a kill order: "Heroes! Whoever retrieves the jade stone will be richly rewarded! Whoever takes Felsa's head will be rewarded with a palace!"
A swarm of heroes chased after the enemy as they fell off the cliff, for the enemy's head and for the treasure.
6. "Miss, who are you waiting for here so late?"
Startled, Jielu became alert, her hand already reaching for the knife at her waist as she turned to look in the direction of the sound.
She took two steps back and carefully observed the newcomer in the darkness. He was a young man, not very old, with a felt hat covering his blond hair, wearing a brown jacket, and carrying no obvious weapons.
She didn't seem like a magician either. In the dim light of night, this was all she could see.
"I understand. Are you waiting here for Philsa to come to you?" The newcomer took something out of his pocket, preparing for battle.
It seems this person came to hunt down Philsa! He was incredibly fast, arriving at the bottom of the mountain before Philsa could.
Without a word, Jelu drew her sword to meet the attack. She lunged forward, closing in with lightning speed and launching an attack.
This guy is definitely hiding some kind of weapon or magic skill; we must win before he reveals it.
However, before her blade could strike her opponent's vital point, it touched something flexible and was bounced back with all its might.
The sudden obstacle forced her to abandon her excellent opportunity for a sneak attack.
Just as she sheathed her sword, she saw clearly: her opponent was using a thin thread to defend against Jielu's sword attack.
Taking advantage of the moment when Jielu sheathed her sword, the young man nimbly jumped back a few steps, moving several body lengths away;
At the same time, the silk threads in his hand seemed to be under a spell, spontaneously coiling together to form a sturdy spear.
Not only that, the person took another silk ball from their pocket and tossed it into the air. After the ball landed, the silk threads inside spontaneously coiled up and wove themselves into a human shape.
"A doll?"
Jelu was stunned; she had never seen such a strange secret technique before. The next moment, she sensed that the situation was dire; including the puppet, she would be facing two enemies at the same time.
But we just need to wait for Felsa to come back. As long as the two of them fight side by side, two against two, they won't lose easily.
Just as she was missing her companions, a beam of aurora struck down from the sky, hitting the ground, and a figure staggered out from it, almost falling over.
"Felsa!"
The mysterious figure and Jelu approached him simultaneously and helped him up. Both were surprised by the identical gesture.
