Chapter 240: Killing Intent in the Shadows
Seeing the 'Jia Na' in front of him shatter like a mirror inch by inch, 'Julie-Ann' couldn't help but look behind him with a pair of scarlet eyes.
"How did you see through it?"
Crackling—
Without any hesitation, Jia Na directly summoned a Thundercloud and launched his most powerful attack against the enemy impersonating 'Julie-Ann'.
"Damn it!"
Seeing Jia Na's decisiveness, 'Julie-Ann', who forcibly endured the lightning attack, cursed in his heart while his disguise instantly broke.
"It's a Shadow Creature?"
Feeling the strong shadow aura emanating from the other party, Jia Na's expression couldn't help but become serious.
Actually, the way Jia Na saw through the other party's disguise was very simple: as a human, Julie-Ann would absolutely not be able to see through Jia Na's Psychological Invisibility Witchcraft.
Whoosh bang—
After knowing the other party's identity as a Shadow Creature, Jia Na immediately took out the special distress rune issued by the school from his thorn bracelet, injected magic power, and detonated the distress signal.
"What's going on?"
Looking at the rune that had no reaction, Jia Na's heart sank.
"Give up. Under the effect of this Concealed Corner Witchcraft, no distress signal can be sent out," the humanoid creature, completely enveloped in dense shadows, said with a smug tone, raising the lamp-shaped Witchcraft in his hand, which was entirely black, shaped like a lotus, and burned with a quiet blue Flame.
"Pop la—"
Seeing this, another sudden lightning strike came. While the opponent cursed and dodged, Jia Na, who had butterfly wings on his back, immediately flew towards the main street with dense crowds.
"By my will, I command you to summon a Celestial Sparrow."
While quickly escaping, Jia Na also immediately summoned the Holy Light System spirit, the Celestial Sparrow, which posed the greatest threat to Shadow Creatures.
"It's useless, you can't escape the range of the Concealed Corner," seeing the Shadow Creature move before Jia Na with astonishing speed, Jia Na immediately urged the Celestial Sparrow, which had already transformed into battle form, to fiercely burn the opponent with Holy Flame during the opponent's constant babbling.
"Master, his movement speed is too fast, my Flame can't hit him—"
Looking at the opponent's astonishing movement speed, which could be described as "fast as a shadow," Jia Na constantly pondered the opponent's identity in his mind.
"Being able to dodge lightning proves that it's not a Formal Wizard level creature—skilled in shadow magic, humanoid, astonishing movement speed—"
In just a moment, Jia Na, who had read extensively in the library, immediately locked onto the opponent's identity.
It was a Shadow Creature with strength comparable to a Three-level Wizard Apprentice—a Vampire Baron!
However, Jia Na, who had never had any conflict with this vengeful group, had no idea why the other party would target him.
Moreover...
Seeing the top-level Apprentice grade Witchcraft in the opponent's hand, and his behavior of approaching him as Julie-Ann when he first appeared, all proved that the opponent was definitely prepared.
"Master, he also has that disgusting smell on him."
Disgusting smell?
Hearing the message transmitted from the Celestial Sparrow's telepathic communication, Jia Na's brows furrowed.
"It's a Dark Sun Cultist again?"
Bathed in Light, after learning the opponent's true identity, Jia Na immediately activated the Purification Law Fragment, using Purification Light to envelop his entire body.
"What do you want?"
Looking at the Vampire Baron, who was always enveloped in shadows, Jia Na just stood still and asked.
"What I want is very simple, it's the youth necklace on you. The youth necklace?"
Upon hearing this, Jia Na, who quickly stabilized his expression using his Muscle Control talent, continued to ask the other party.
"What do you want that necklace for?"
"That's none of your business. If you want to get out alive, you must hand over the youth necklace!"
His voice suddenly turned fierce. Feeling the surrounding shadow magic gradually boil, Jia Na still said calmly without changing his expression:
"If you just want that necklace, I can give it to you."
Saying this, the youth necklace appeared in Jia Na's hand.
"Is it this one?"
"That's it! Quickly give it to me!"
Seeing Jia Na actually take out the youth necklace, the voice wrapped in shadows also became excited.
"Take it." As the necklace was thrown out by Jia Na with force, the shadow in front of him also moved.
"Got it!"
Boom— Before the Vampire Baron could be happy, a huge explosion quickly sounded.
"This Witchcraft can even conceal sound—"
The youth necklace thrown out by Jia Na was indeed real. However, Jia Na also attached a few explosive runes with considerable power to it.
Seeing the explosion sound covered by darkness, Jia Na didn't linger in battle, quickly flapped his butterfly wings, and flew towards another direction of the alley.
"Damn human, cough cough—"
Amidst violent coughing, a wolf-fox figure with half of its body almost blown to pieces reappeared in the firelight.
Pale skin, scarlet pupils, an evil face that could be called handsome, and a pair of iconic vampire fangs—
Earle-Blood Red, who could no longer use shadow magic to cover his body, completely exposed his vampire form in the Main Material World.
"Damn human, I will definitely turn you into my blood servant!"
After quickly stopping the bleeding from the terrifying wound with flesh and blood magic, Earle-Blood Red, with his bat wings spread, chased after Jia Na along the direction he fled.
"You can't escape—"
Due to the vast difference in speed between the two sides, in a short while, Earle-Blood Red saw the slender back of the wolf-fox fleeing in the distance.
As the distance between the two sides got closer and closer, a ferocious smile appeared on Earle-Blood Red's pale face.
"If I can turn her into a blood servant, it will definitely cause a sensation in the ancient castle in the royal city—"
Just thinking of Jia Na's appearance, which could be described as stunningly beautiful, Earle-Blood Red's determination to turn Jia Na into a blood servant became even stronger.
"Ah—"
Just as Earle-Blood Red's hand was about to touch Jia Na's wizard robe, a short shriek interrupted his action once again.
"Damn it, it's Sound-type Witchcraft!"
Earle-Blood Red's last bit of patience finally ran out with Jia Na's "miscellaneous" methods.
After forcibly recovering from the "dizziness" state, seeing Jia Na, who had already drilled into the alley at the corner, the impatient Earle-Blood Red flapped his bat wings and turned into an afterimage, chasing after Jia Na's direction once again.
"Hmm?"
As soon as he stepped into the alley, Earle-Blood Red saw Jia Na standing at the end of the alley, looking towards him with a calm expression.
"Playing tricks!"
Looking at Jia Na's abnormal behavior, Earle-Blood Red couldn't help but become vigilant.
However, when he saw the face under Jia Na's wizard hood again, no matter how angry he was, he still couldn't help but say:
"As long as you are obedient, I will definitely not torture you—"
"Seal, form—"
