Chapter 149: Grimace Treant Form
The Barrier-Breaking Blood Crocodile is an aquatic creature living in the Illusionary Swamp. Possessing extremely strong defense and immense power, while also capable of breaking through illusions and most mental control Witchcraft, this type of magical beast is extremely difficult to kill.
However, when that exquisite face, which could be called 'perfect', suddenly appeared in the eyes of Butcher Watson, who possessed the Bloodline of the Barrier-Breaking Blood Crocodile, it was as if his soul had been struck by lightning. The originally murderous Watson, in that instant, had only that face left in his mind.
"Snap—"
A long whip appeared. The moment the Black Wizard Apprentice was hit by the enchantment Witchcraft, the Soul Lash Witchcraft, which Jia Na had been preparing, quickly condensed in her hand.
As the whip shadow quickly fell, the intense pain from deep within his soul directly caused the Black Wizard Apprentice to let out a piercing scream.
"Damn it! It's enchantment Witchcraft—how could I possibly be affected by enchantment Witchcraft?!"
The intense pain covered Watson's face with cold sweat, and his soul felt like it was tearing apart,
also made it impossible for Watson to concentrate his mental energy to cast Witchcraft.
"Detestable White Coral apprentice—"
Lola didn't give Watson any chance to breathe. Countless emerald green vines, like pythons choosing their prey, quickly climbed onto his limbs.
At the same time, thorns mixed with paralyzing toxins, like sharp knives, pierced through the ground, directly impaling Watson's legs, causing him to completely lose the ability to move.
"Well done, Lola."
To be safe, after casting a set of mental control combos, Jia Na secretly summoned the Thorn Flower Fairy at the same time, letting her hide underground, waiting for an opportunity. As expected, after this Black Wizard Apprentice was given a quick, accurate, and ruthless Soul Lash by Jia Na, he had lost the ability to cast Witchcraft in a short time.
Combined with her own Vine Entanglement and the Thorn Flower Fairy's Thorn Impalement, it also caused the opponent to completely lose the ability to act.
"It seems that Charm approaching the extraordinary indeed brought a great boost to the Mind Enchantment Witchcraft. Although Jia Na had already understood the terrifying control ability of Mind Enchantment when using the Celestial Sparrow as a Witchcraft test subject,
what she didn't expect was that the enchantment effect would be so outstanding on this Bloodline Side Black Wizard Apprentice with Barrier-Breaking ability."
Even though it wasn't like the 'absolutely obedient' puppet appearance the Celestial Sparrow had when hit by Mind Enchantment,
Jia Na was still very satisfied with achieving this effect.
"Roar—"
Just as Jia Na was preparing to directly snatch the opponent's nameplate, a beastly roar, as if from a wild animal, suddenly came from Butcher Watson's mouth.
Seeing that his pupil color had completely changed from emerald green to crimson, Jia Na knew that he must have entered a berserk state.
"As expected, Bloodline Side apprentices all follow the same pattern in the end."
This Black Wizard Apprentice in front of her was like this, and Solo-Flame, who possessed the Lava Lizard Bloodline, was also like this.
"Rip! Bang!—"
Seeing that the opponent was already delirious, Jia Na, who had already completed the Spore Parasitism Witchcraft long ago, immediately activated the parasitic seeds on the Black Wizard Apprentice's body.
As the parasitic seeds hatched one after another, a huge amount of toxins spread continuously along Butcher Watson's blood to his limbs.
"Roar—"
Scales covered him, and his wounds healed.
Looking at the Black Wizard Apprentice who had completed his 'beastification' transformation, Jia Na knew that her toxins could not temporarily affect a Bloodline Side Wizard Apprentice in a 'berserk state'.
Unless his 'berserk' state was lifted, otherwise, in front of a Bloodline Side apprentice whose 'attack, defense, and physique' were fully boosted, the control Witchcraft methods Jia Na currently possessed could no longer have an effect.
"The berserk state is nothing more than a 'flash in the pan' method achieved by overdrawing one's Bloodline energy in a short period—it won't last more than three minutes at most. A Bloodline Side Wizard who exits the berserk state will enter a long period of being at the mercy of others—"
Looking at the 'crocodile'-like creature constantly rushing towards her, Jia Na knew that as long as these three minutes passed, the Black Wizard Apprentice who ended his 'berserk' state would inevitably be directly declared defeated.
And all she had to do now was fly a little higher, and then quietly wait for victory to arrive...
Although Jia Na also wanted to do this, the longer the time dragged on, his 'earth-shattering' roar would inevitably attract other Wizard Apprentices who wanted to benefit from the situation.
"Ever-changing—"
Just as the Black Wizard Apprentice was about to close in, in an instant, Jia Na's body rapidly expanded. As dry, cracked bark continuously covered Jia Na's body, a giant Grimace Treant nearly three meters tall abruptly appeared where Jia Na had been standing.
Without any hesitation or fancy poses, a giant fist covered in brown bark and as large as a bucket swung straight towards the charging Black Wizard Apprentice in front of her.
"Bang!—Amidst the splashing mud, a simple and unadorned clash of strength concluded with the force of thunder.
Butcher Watson, who had always been proud of his own strength, was thus sent flying by a single punch from a Grimace Treant, and his 'berserk' state also vanished the moment Watson hit the ground.
"I—I surrender!"
After one punch, Butcher Watson, who had regained his senses for a moment, looked at the Grimace Treant walking towards him,
Without any desire to continue fighting, he simply and decisively shouted the command and resolutely left the Secret Realm.
"Whew." Looking at the Black Wizard Apprentice who had already left the Secret Realm, Jia Na, who had exited her Grimace Treant form, couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
And the Celestial Sparrow, who had been dazing on the side, seeing that her Master had easily won without needing a reminder,
very perceptively picked up the nameplate dropped by the Black Wizard Apprentice and handed it to Jia Na.
"Silver Mirror, continue to cover for me. If anyone approaches, notify me immediately."
"As you command, Master (seriously)."
"Afu, help me purify the Curse every half hour."
"Okay, Master."
Jia Na also didn't send the Thorn Flower Fairy, who was still hidden underground, back to the Spirit World, but continued to let her hide underground to protect her and ensure her safety.
As for the Flame Guardian, Jia Na had no intention of summoning it.
After all, the current Swamp Secret Realm belonged to a water element scene. When not in combat, the appearance of the Flame Guardian,
would cause the fire element aura on its body to dissipate. Even with the Hundred-Eyed Mirror Demon's illusion concealment, there would still be a risk of exposure.
To be safe, Jia Na still chose to act cautiously—
