Chapter 385 Anya
Before the dizziness from the interdimensional teleportation had completely subsided, and before Jemin and Viola could even see their surroundings clearly, a gust of wind, accompanied by a piercing howl, crashed down on them!
"Um?!"
"careful!"
Both men were seasoned veterans, and though startled, they remained calm.
Almost at the same instant he sensed the danger, Jemin pointed his fingers like a sword, and an extremely condensed spatial distortion force field pushed upwards like an invisible barrier.
Viola was even faster. Without even looking up, she simply waved her hand upwards, and a shockwave containing her unique power of law arrived first!
Boom!!
A massive meteorite, over five meters in diameter and imbued with scorching flames and earth elements, was struck simultaneously by these two forces less than ten meters above the two people's heads. It instantly shattered into countless scattered fragments and sparks, like a brief meteor shower.
Only then did the two have a chance to observe their surroundings.
They found themselves inside a building that resembled a laboratory or observation post, but the dome of the building had been smashed open with a grotesque hole.
Through the hole, one could see that the sky outside was not the peaceful and serene one had imagined, but a chaotic battlefield where various energy beams intertwined and explosions and flashes of fire were frequent.
Fortunately, the protective arrays engraved around the laboratory seemed to be still operating stubbornly, emitting a stable energy aura.
Even if they didn't react in time, that meteorite would most likely have been deflected or blocked by this protective force field.
"What the hell?!" Viola's eyebrows shot up. She exchanged a glance with Jemin, and the two of them flashed out through the hole in the dome, hovering in mid-air.
When they came out, the scene before them left them both somewhat astonished.
Not far away, a ball of light, constantly shifting between crimson, azure, and earthy yellow, radiating violent elemental fluctuations, was fiercely battling a giant demonic flower formed by countless thick vines twisting and intertwining, its top blooming with mentally polluting ripples.
The orb of light spewed out lava rays and frost storms, while the demonic flower brandished its thorny vines and continuously spewed out clouds of spores that could corrode energy shields.
The aftershocks of their battle ravaged the surrounding ground.
This is merely a small microcosm of the grand battlefield.
Jemin subconsciously activated his "Eye of Detection" and various Detective Spells, rapidly expanding his field of vision.
Within his perception range, the continent they were on seemed to be engulfed in a total war!
One side in the battle consists of light-form creatures of various shapes and sizes, composed of pure elemental energy; the other side consists of bizarre and grotesque living plants, seemingly endowed with a crazy vitality.
Energy beams clashed with exploding spores, and the mournful cries of elements intertwined with the strange sounds of plants breaking apart, creating a chaotic and cruel symphony.
The arrival of Jemin and Viola, these two "uninvited guests," was like a drop of cold water into a boiling oil pan, instantly attracting the attention of many "residents" on the nearby battlefield.
Immediately, several "Flame Walkers" made of flickering flames and several "Howling Venus Flytrap" with sharp teeth and wielding thorns simultaneously changed direction, emitting unintelligible mental fluctuations and electromagnetic radiation, and charged towards them!
Although he couldn't understand their specific language, through mental perception, Jemin clearly grasped the meaning being conveyed by both sides:
[Light Element Creature]: "Quick! Kill those two ugly, asymmetrical flesh monsters!"
[Activated Plant]: "Monsters! These two rootless, leafless, and monotonously colored fleshy monsters are so ugly! Purify them!"
Jemin’s lips twitched slightly, but he remained relatively calm about this “insult” based on racial aesthetics.
But Viola, standing next to him, turned bright red with anger after clearly receiving the spiritual meaning of the words "ugly" and "monster," and her long silver-gray hair seemed to move without wind!
"Who...are you calling ugly?!"
As the saying goes, a young girl's blush is more beautiful than anything else. Without even Jemin lifting a finger, Viola, in a fit of rage, raised her hand and grabbed at the charging creatures in mid-air!
There was no earth-shattering explosion, no dazzling elemental light.
But the Flame Walkers and Howling Venus Flytrap that were roaring and charging forward froze instantly!
Immediately afterwards, they let out screams that were far more shrill and painful than those they had heard during the previous battle!
The flames on the Flame Walker flickered erratically, its form twisted and disintegrated, emitting a piercing electromagnetic shriek.
The vines of the howling Venus flytrap convulsed wildly, its sharp teeth snapping open and closing, emanating ripples of extreme mental anguish.
What's even more terrifying is that this pain seems to be contagious!
Further away, other elemental creatures and living plants that originally intended to support their companions also fell from the sky or collapsed to the ground without warning, joining this silent but extremely tragic gathering of painful wails!
For a moment, the direct fighting in this area inexplicably came to a standstill.
The elemental creatures and living plants that still retained their mobility screamed wildly with mental waves, as if they had encountered some extremely terrifying being.
[Light Element Creature]: "Be careful! It's a hideous flesh monster that can spread invisible pain! Go back and report to the elders immediately!"
[Animated Plant]: "Terrible! The ugly monster will make us tie ourselves in knots! Run! Go find Mother Forest!"
They retreated hastily, like a receding tide, leaving the area temporarily filled only with "pain" to Jemin and Viola.
Jemin raised his hand and released several black giant priests. He pointed to the "captives" who were convulsing on the ground and on the verge of collapse, indicating that they should control and collect them to search their souls for intelligence later.
After doing all this, he turned to look at Viola, who was still furious, and said in a strange tone, "Senior Viola, your friend's hobby of maintaining the 'ecological environment' is quite unique, isn't it?"
Viola, having composed herself by this time, looked bewildered and innocent upon hearing this, shaking her head vigorously: "It wasn't me! When I came here last time, Starfall's 'Garden of a Hundred Flowers' was a beautiful and harmonious place! Everywhere there were glowing, gentle mushrooms, singing flowers, and adorable little fairies! It wasn't this apocalyptic mess at all!"
Jemin began to seriously doubt: "Senior, are you sure you didn't enter the wrong teleportation coordinates? Did we accidentally stumble into some strange dimension where a war is taking place?"
"How could I possibly have entered it wrong!" Viola was so angry that she jumped up and down, and subconsciously chopped at Jemin on the head with a thud.
Immediately, she herself gasped, arms crossed, and grimaced – Jemin's hardened head was as tough as high-grade magical metal.
Seeing Viola's reaction, Jemin rubbed his head, which he felt nothing at all, and scratched his head in confusion.
It seems the coordinates are correct; this is indeed the dimension of Viola's friend.
But this scene before my eyes...
"Could it be that an invasion has been launched by a biological legion from another dimension?" Jemin wondered.
As the thought flashed through his mind, he couldn't help but hiss and gasp, his eyes instantly flashing with an undisguised glint of light!
Intrusion?
For a wizard with a private dimension, what's the difference between this and having military merits, rare materials, or research samples fall from the sky while walking down the street?!
It was simply a feast for the senses!
However, Jemin also knew that the probability of such a "pie falling from the sky" was too low.
The most urgent task is to figure out exactly what happened here.
Once the Black Giant Priest brings the prisoners over and searches their souls, everything will become clear.
However, before the black giant priest could return, Jemin and Viola almost simultaneously tensed up, sensing a powerful life force rapidly entering their warning range!
The two immediately went on high alert, their energy secretly gathering.
But soon, they relaxed again.
Although that aura was powerful, it was not any of the chaotic creatures that had been sensed before. Its energy structure was stable and orderly, bearing clear wizarding characteristics.
Furthermore, Jemin felt that this energy structure... had a faint sense of familiarity?
The next moment, a blazing red light appeared on the horizon, like a meteor falling to earth!
The red light rapidly approached, revealing its true form—a powerful elemental spirit with a massive body, composed entirely of pure fire element, and bearing some characteristics of a Western dragon!
It radiates a chillingly high temperature, and wherever it passes, the moisture in the air evaporates.
The fiery dragon elemental spirit landed with a thud, causing the ground to tremble slightly.
But after it landed, its enormous body quickly shrank and solidified, and in the blink of an eye it transformed into a small dragon, no bigger than a palm, like a delicate ruby carving, which obediently floated in mid-air.
The human figure that had been protected at the core of the elemental body was now clearly visible.
She was a petite girl with soft, silver hair that looked like it was woven from moonlight, and a pair of clear, azure eyes like those of a high-altitude lake.
Her strength contains a powerful affinity for life and nature.
Several small spirits or elemental sprites of various shapes and sizes, shimmering with a soft glow, danced and circled around her joyfully, like loyal guards and companions, creating a stark contrast to the desolate scene of war raging around her.
Upon seeing that familiar face, Jemin instinctively blurted out:
"Anya?"
The person who came was none other than Anya Starfall, one of the tenth-level talent super geniuses whom he had met several times during the elite trials at the Norren Workshop!
A girl skilled in summoning and controlling elemental spirits and magical beasts, possessing an extraordinary perception and understanding of life and soul.
Viola then came over from the side, looked at Jemin, then at Anya, and exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? You two know each other?"
Jemin nodded: "I've seen him a few times during the graduation trial."
He then looked at Anya with even greater confusion: "But, Wizard Anya, what are you doing here?"
Viola patted Jemin on the shoulder, her tone carrying a hint of "what a small world" in her voice: "No need to guess, let me introduce you. Anya is a direct descendant of my friend, and also her most important assistant and student now."
