Chapter 283: The Power of the Growth Law
“No, this isn't right——”
Before Richard-Eva could react, dozens of emerald green vines, much thicker than those cast by the Thorn Flower Fairy, coiled like pythons with gaping maws, rushing towards Richard-Eva.
“Crack, crack——”
The black bat shadow flew out again, but this time, due to the sheer number of vines, before Richard-Eva's bat Witchcraft could finish devouring them, another wave of vines surged forward, transforming into dense vine whips that directly whipped the bat swarm into bloody pulp.
“This isn't right!”
Watching the wave after wave of surging vines, Richard-Eva, who had transformed into his bloodline true form, gradually began to sense that something was amiss.
As Richard-Eva rapidly flew away from the vine encirclement, an incredibly absurd yet incredibly reasonable conjecture suddenly sprouted in his mind.
“Could it be that this is the second Law Fragment she has mastered?”
Startled by this thought, Richard-Eva no longer cared about the “promise” he had broken once before. With blood light flowing, under the pincer attack of countless vines, Richard-Eva directly transformed into a pool of blood, flowing down through the gaps.
“Growth—”
Like a nightmare echoing, just as Richard-Eva had transformed from his elemental true form back into human form, an ethereal voice sounded behind Richard-Eva.
“You actually mastered two Law Fragments?!”
Looking at the emerald green vines attacking him again, and the slender figure behind the vines, who had spread her butterfly wings and flown into the air, a complex emotion, even more indescribable, suddenly surged in Richard-Eva's heart.
“Whoosh—”
Seeing the surrounding vines about to trap him tightly, at the cost of severe magical power depletion, Richard-Eva transformed into his elemental form once again, rapidly flowing out through the gaps and escaping the vine encirclement.
Immediately after, Richard-Eva's figure rapidly grew larger, transforming back into a giant bat, and he furiously attacked Jia Na.
“Richard, look at me.”
The ethereal voice sounded in Richard-Eva's mind once again.
Although his brain kept sending him danger signals, Richard-Eva's Blood Red eyes still involuntarily looked at Jia Na's exquisite face, which seemed carved by a deity.
“Whoosh—”
At the critical moment, driven by instinct, Richard-Eva transformed into his elemental form again, falling to the ground.
Seeing this, Jia Na did not continue to obstruct him, but instead retracted her butterfly wings and returned to the ground as well.
“Whoosh—”
The blood pooled back together, and Richard-Eva, who had returned to his human form, looked somewhat disheveled at this moment.
And Jia Na, standing not far away, was as calm and elegant as ever, not even a single strand of hair out of place.
“I lost.”
Looking at the scene around him, which resembled a dense vine forest, Richard-Eva decisively admitted defeat, his expression inevitably showing a hint of bitterness.
“It should be a draw. If you hadn't let me go first, I would have probably lost long ago.”
Listening to Jia Na's comforting words, Richard-Eva just shook his head.
“Losing is losing———. I can only say that I am indeed inferior.
Due to the disparity in their Wizard levels, Richard-Eva did hold back at the beginning of the match.
Even when using the ability of the Blood Law Fragment, he only attacked Jia Na's few contracted creatures,
and did not infect Jia Na with illness.
However, as the battle dragged on, Richard-Eva discovered that the course of this fight had completely deviated from his control.
From the moment Jia Na used the ability of the Purification Law Fragment and successfully resisted Richard-Eva's disease pollution, he knew that if he didn't use his Three-level Wizard Apprentice methods, this battle would inevitably end with Jia Na's victory.
Therefore, for the sake of face, Richard-Eva no longer cared about the “pre-match promise” and directly used his bloodline true form.
However, when Jia Na used the second Law Fragment, Richard-Eva's mood at that time could only be described as shock.
But the overwhelming vines gave Richard-Eva no time to think at all.
When he simultaneously used his elemental form to cope, Jia Na's third move put Richard-Eva in a state of complete brain freeze.
If he hadn't felt wrong, the Witchcraft Jia Na had just used on him also contained the ability of a third Law Fragment.
Otherwise, a Mind Enchantment Witchcraft alone would absolutely not have such terrifying mental control ability. If Richard-Eva hadn't instinctively transformed into his elemental form based on muscle memory, he would likely have been completely controlled by Jia Na's Mind Enchantment Witchcraft at this moment.
“Can you tell me, besides that Purification Law Fragment, what are the Law authorities corresponding to the other two Law Fragments you have mastered?”
From the thick emerald green vines rooted around him, Richard-Eva could roughly guess that the second Law Fragment Jia Na had mastered should be related to her Plant Affinity talent.
However, he was a little unsure which authority within the plant domain the Law Fragment Jia Na had mastered corresponded to...
“It's the Growth Law and the Law of Beauty.”
Hiss—Upon hearing Jia Na's words, Richard-Eva couldn't help but take a sharp breath.
After reacting for a while, Richard-Eva asked with a slight tremor in his voice:
“The Growth Law you mentioned... couldn't possibly be the Sub-Law under the Nature and Life Law, could it?
“Yes.”
Seeing Jia Na nod in agreement, Richard-Eva seemed to have thought of something and immediately asked excitedly:
“Then what about your Wizard Talent? It can't still be B-level Plant Affinity, can it?”
Hearing Richard-Eva's pointed question, this time it was Jia Na's turn to be surprised.
“Senior, do you know a lot about the Growth Law?”
“Of course... I don't, but I once saw information related to the Nature and Life Law in my family's library...”
As one of the long-standing families in Turin, the Eva Family's internal library collection is no less than that of the White Coral Academy's public library.
In fact, the quality of the collection is even better.
And this is one of the advantages of Wizard Apprentices from Wizard families compared to commoner apprentices.
Even Jia Na, who usually reads extensively, might not have as deep an understanding of certain knowledge as someone like Suo Luo-Lie Yan, who rarely even enters the library.
“My talent did advance once before.”
