Chapter 414: Law of Beauty
Crackle—
The blue-white lightning gradually turned into violet. The night sky, which originally had no clouds, now gathered several massive dark clouds, firmly blocking the moon above.
Yet, even though the moonlight had vanished, the continuous flashes of lightning instead illuminated the pitch-black sea, making it look like broad daylight.
At this mont, the beautiful rmaid in the center of the vortex, surrounded and embraced by seawater, was clearly reflected in everyone’s eyes,
every detail distinct.
"That is—Janna Roland!?"
After a brief mont of shock, Hela-Helheim realized that the rmaid embraced by the seawater was the very Janna she had been searching for.
Not only her, but also Louisto-Tulan flying high above, as well as the other contestants illuminated by the lightning, all recognized the rmaid’s identity.
"Could it be—her true identity is not human, but a 『Half-rmaid』 with rmaid bloodline?"
Possessing the 【Phoenix】 bloodline, Louisto-Tulan, upon seeing the water elental particles surging abnormally around Janna’s rmaid form, imdiately thought she, like him, had inherited the bloodline of a top-tier extraordinary creature, thus enabling her successful transformation.
After all, Louisto-Tulan himself could only transform into a 【Phoenix】 because of his bloodline.
Otherwise, with the magic control ability of an apprentice, it would have been absolutely impossible to decipher the soul structure of a 【Phoenix】—a complexity comparable to the very patterns of a Law.
But what puzzled Louisto-Tulan was that Janna’s displayed 【Wizard Talents】 were purely “Plant-type.” Even her surrounding magic contained not the slightest trace of water elents—
"Could it be—that she completed 【Soul Conversion】, and that’s why she could transform into a rmaid?"
That possibility flashed across his mind, but Louisto-Tulan quickly shook his head to dismiss such a ridiculous guess.
【Soul Conversion】 was when a wizard simulated their soul into the form of another creature’s soul, as a prerequisite for 【Complete Transfiguration】.
This was mostly used by full-fledged wizards to simulate top-tier extraordinary beings, and it couldn’t be done too often, otherwise it carried the risk of “soul loss.”
Not to ntion the extrely high perception required for 【Soul Conversion】—even just simulating the body structure of such beings, or manipulating one’s elental particles to achieve cross-elental transformation through 【Elental Interactions】, demanded a level of magical precision far beyond what an apprentice could ever reach.
“Splash—”
The raging waves still rolled endlessly across the sea. As they stared at the expanding vortex, the contestants finally snapped back from the shock of seeing a “rmaid” and scattered in all directions, trying to escape.
“La-la—”
Just as everyone prepared to flee the vortex at top speed, suddenly, that enthralling and captivating song once again rang out. Upon hearing it, the contestants froze in place as though struck by a petrification spell, without warning.
"This is ntal enchantnt?"
Because he could not use magic, Louisto-Tulan couldn’t block his hearing with a spell. He could only rely on his remaining willpower to resist the instinctive pull of 【Extraordinary Charm】 affecting his body.
“Plop—”
Unlike Louisto-Tulan, who still fought back with difficulty, several contestants with weaker willpower couldn’t withstand the rmaid’s song at all.
Without much resistance, two transford contestants—one a giant python and the other a crocodile—obediently turned toward Janna and dove headfirst into the powerful vortex.
“La-la——la-la-la——”
The ethereal chanting continued. More and more contestants, guided by the “song,” leapt into the vortex, activating their 【Anti-Magic Rings】.
"This is absolutely not ordinary ntal enchantnt—it is the power of a 【Law】!"
Seeing the number of surrounding contestants dwindle, Kumbu-Thornspike, his own spirit nearly breaking, was certain that the rmaid Janna had transford into, even if naturally alluring, could never have achieved such overwhelming control with re charm.
Others might not understand, but Kumbu-Thornspike, raised since childhood amidst the endless “buzzing” of 【Insect Speech】, had long tempered his spirit and will. Ordinary enchantnts or control spells simply did not affect him.
Yet, since Janna appeared in her 【rmaid Form】, within re seconds, her song had crushed the will of several contestants, making them puppets under her spiritual control, and drove them into the vortex in “suicidal” fashion.
Even Kumbu-Thornspike himself stood on the edge of collapse, completely powerless to resist.
It was precisely because of this that Kumbu-Thornspike concluded Janna must have invoked so form of 【Law】, otherwise her song could never have had such an effect.
"Look at ."
Just as Kumbu-Thornspike wrestled with his faltering will, the song that coiled around his ears suddenly stopped. In its place ca a voice—ethereal, alluring, yet incomparably gentle.
"Look at , Kumbu-Thornspike."
The instant she called his na, the taut string in Kumbu-Thornspike’s mind snapped completely.
When he opened his eyes again, gazing into that face blending innocence and seduction, for a fleeting mont—
he seed to realize the 【Law】 Janna had mastered.
"Could it be…the 【Law of Beauty】——"
But soon, his hazy consciousness vanished completely. Along with the contestant transford into a giant octopus beside him, Kumbu-Thornspike plunged into the vortex, disappearing without a trace.
“Roar—”
Just as Janna was about to clear out the last contestants in the sea, suddenly, a dragon’s roar echoed.
On the surface of the sea, Hela-Helheim, who had been transford into a Deep-Sea Undead Electric Eel, rapidly expanded in size. Monts later, a fifteen-ter-tall skeletal dragon with blue-white flas burning in its eye sockets erged where she had been, leaping into the night sky.
"It’s the 【Skeletal Dragon】!"
Louisto-Tulan, his ntal defenses on the verge of collapse, regained clarity the mont he saw the sudden undead creature, for the innate Dragon’s Might of the 【Skeletal Dragon】 jolted his consciousness awake.
