Chapter 317: Withering Law Fragment
“Hoo—hee—hoo—”
A familiar breathing sound came from her ears. As Jia Na's vision returned to light, she suddenly found herself once again in that green sea of forest.
“Am I—dreaming again?”
The warm spring breeze gently swept through, creating ripples of emerald green in the dense forest.
“This is the power of the Growth Law—”
Watching the trees rapidly sprout branches and buds in the spring breeze, and the tender green grass constantly emerging from the ground, Jia Na's heart also became peaceful.
“Ee-ch—ee-ch—”
As the green leaves in the forest became more verdant, continuous insect chirps frequently entered Jia Na's ears.
Not only that, but the profusion of flowers, with large patches of delicate, dripping blossoms, added even richer colors to the entire forest.
“Is this—entering summer?”
Another strong wind swept through. After the peak of summer, the green leaves turned yellow, and the falling leaves were like golden butterflies,
constantly falling from the trees, turning into dust.
“This is autumn—”
Before Jia Na could finish her lament, a heavy winter snow followed, covering the entire forest.
Completing the entire process of Life from revival to decay, and then to Withering. “Well done, Evefresia.”
Just as Jia Na was still in awe of the changes in Life, a soft and elegant voice suddenly sounded from behind her.
“It's the High Green Elf I saw in my dream that day—
Light green long hair, pointed ears, and a beautiful face that combined gentleness and dignity—this was the High Green Elf Jia Na saw teaching Evefresia in the Nature Forest when she entered the dream that day.
“Teacher, I think I have mastered the power of 【Reincarnation】—”
Reincarnation? What reincarnation?
Before Jia Na could hear clearly, the scene before her seemed to freeze. Then, the picture quickly turned gray, and a pale white palm, large enough to cover the sky, slowly descended from above the forest.
“What is this—thing?”
Cough, cough, cough, cough?
Accompanied by a series of hurried coughs, all the scenes before Jia Na's eyes quickly disappeared. What remained was only a twitching sensation, as if her heart had been struck by a heavy hammer, causing Jia Na's consciousness to return to reality due to the intense pain. “Miss Jia Na, you are finally awake.”
As Jia Na slowly opened her eyes, the familiar basement scene reappeared before her.
“Ises, what happened to me just now?”
“When you came down from the teleportation array just now, you suddenly turned into a tree—but fortunately, you recovered shortly after.”
Rubbing her heart, which still felt a sharp pain, a hint of confusion flashed in Jia Na's eyes.
“A tree—that's right, I dreamed again just now—”
Jia Na's mind was like a muddled mess. When she first woke up, her memories seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, leaving her in a state of stupor.
It wasn't until just now, upon hearing Ises's words, that Jia Na gradually recalled all the scenes she had seen in her dream—and that pale white palm that covered the sky.
“Did I encounter a divine battlefield scene again—”
As the pain in her heart gradually disappeared, Jia Na stood up again and bowed to Ises.
“Thank you for your care just now.”
“Miss Jia Na, you don't need to be so polite. This is what I should do.”
Seeing Jia Na bow to her, Ises, while carrying Vivian, did not forget to return a bow.
“It's getting late, I should go back.”
“Okay—please allow me to put on your blindfold.”
Wearing a blindfold that blocked spiritual perception, Jia Na, led by Ises, left the underground secret room of Rose Castle. It wasn't until they returned to the castle hall that Ises removed Jia Na's blindfold.
“Miss Jia Na, I won't see you off. This way, please.”
“Okay.”
After taking a deep look at Vivian, who was still unconscious, Jia Na turned around and followed the white owl at the castle gate, walking through the snow-piled manor to the main entrance.
“Miss Jia Na, goodbye.”
“Goodbye, Maji.”
After bidding farewell to the guiding owl, Jia Na, who passed through the Rose Manor barrier, returned to Turin, which was in the midst of a scorching July.
“In a way, Rose Manor is indeed a very good summer resort—it just doesn't suit me.”
Having stayed in the Extreme Cold Secret Realm for a long time, Jia Na felt an indescribable comfort in her body and mind when she once again experienced the dry and hot climate brought by the scorching summer. “There's no time to delay.”
Looking at the sun that had not yet set, Jia Na immediately chanted a spell and performed Deformation Art.
As emerald green butterfly wings grew from Jia Na's back, without any pause, Jia Na fled into the Mist Forest without looking back, flying towards White Coral Academy.
“Although the butterfly wing form is very convenient, it is not suitable for flying in extreme climate environments like the Extreme Cold Secret Realm…—”
As Jia Na rapidly flapped her butterfly wings and flew towards the academy, she also began to consider the limitations of the Elementary Transformation she currently mastered when facing different environments.
So far, the Elementary Transformation forms Jia Na has mastered are mainly plant-based magic creatures. Therefore, the weaknesses she possesses after transformation are mostly common problems of these plant-based magic creatures.
Extreme cold, extreme heat—in any relatively extreme environment, Jia Na's Elementary Transformation cannot exert much effect. This, on the contrary, goes against the original intention of Metamorphosis.
After all, one of the philosophies of Metamorphosis is to adapt to the environment.
And the way to adapt to the environment is to transform oneself into the most adaptable species form in this environmental chain, integrating into it to complete the self-environment closure.
However, due to Jia Na's current Deformation Art skills not being up to par, she cannot exert the true advantages of Metamorphosis.
“Miss Jia Na, welcome home—”
“Mm.”
After softly responding to the Door Spirit's enthusiastic greeting, Jia Na immediately pushed open the door and entered the dormitory.
