Chapter 329: Lower Angel
Because the Contract Ritual went too smoothly, by the time the Qimeng Butterfly returned to the Dream Realm, the clock in Jia Na’s dorm room only showed six-thirty in the afternoon.
This unexpectedly high efficiency, however, suddenly left Jia Na with free time.
“It’s still early. I can go to the library and read for a while now.”
After cleaning up all the discarded ritual materials on the experimental table, Jia Na prepared to put on her wizard robe and leave the dorm for the library.
“Creak—”
The moment Jia Na opened her dorm door, a sudden jolt of alarm from her mind made Jia Na stop her actions.
“It’s Afu!”
Bang!
Upon confirmation, Jia Na immediately used her Contract power to summon the Celestial Sparrow. However, no matter how Jia Na called, the Celestial Sparrow never responded to Jia Na.
“Spiritual Body Shuttle—”
Seeing that the summoning failed, Jia Na immediately used her Spiritual Body Shuttle talent, locked onto the Celestial Sparrow’s location, entered the Spiritual Realm in her spiritual form, and descended into the Heavenly Holy World amidst a holy light.
“Afu?”
The moment Jia Na opened her eyes, she saw the Celestial Sparrow curled up in a patch of cold snow at the foot of Mount Aden.
“So hot!”
Looking at the unconscious Celestial Sparrow, Jia Na’s first reaction was to use Mental Perception wizardry to check its Life status.
However, when Jia Na’s palm touched the Celestial Sparrow’s body, the scorching temperature, like boiling water, instantly reddened Jia Na’s hand.
“Life signs are very weak. It doesn’t seem like it’s evolving. Could it be a magic power riot?”
Compared to the Celestial Sparrow’s Life safety, Jia Na completely disregarded the burning sensation on her palm and directly used Mental Perception to investigate the Celestial Sparrow’s condition.
“Shape Manifestation—”
Light condensed. Suspecting that the Celestial Sparrow had fallen unconscious due to a magic power riot within its body, Jia Na directly used the power of the Purification Law Fragment to condense more than ten hair-thin magic threads, which then entered the Celestial Sparrow’s body.
However, the moment the magic threads entered the Celestial Sparrow’s body, they completely went out of Jia Na’s control and mysteriously vanished.
“The situation is more complicated than I expected, but I can confirm it’s probably not a magic power riot—”
At this moment, although Jia Na was extremely anxious, she still tried her best to remain calm.
“At this point, I can only find someone.”
Regarding the Celestial Sparrow’s abnormal condition, Jia Na’s first reaction was to bring it to the Primary Material World and seek help from Anthony-Black Sparrow or other Formal Wizards.
However, for Jia Na to summon the Celestial Sparrow to the Primary Material World, one of the prerequisites was that the Celestial Sparrow had to give at least an instinctive response.
Just like when the Celestial Sparrow first evolved, although it was unconscious, its shallow consciousness was still awake.
Therefore, Jia Na successfully summoned the Celestial Sparrow to the Primary Material World at that time to accompany it through its first evolution.
However, this time, the Celestial Sparrow’s shallow consciousness was in a self-sealed state, and it couldn’t respond to Jia Na’s Contract Summoning at all.
“Ding-a-ling—”
Without time to hesitate further, Jia Na gently placed her palm over the golden jade on the Celestial Sparrow’s forehead, softly chanted a spell, and activated the soul resonance.
“I hope that Saint can sense my call—”
What Jia Na was doing at this moment was using the “Angel Mark” on the Celestial Sparrow as a medium, utilizing the hertz transmission of soul resonance to call upon someone whose power was of the same origin as the Angel Mark.
According to what the Celestial Sparrow had said before, the Angel Mark on its body was bestowed by the “Saint” it always mentioned, a Lower Angel.
And the reason Jia Na dared to summon this “Lower Angel” whom she had never met, besides worrying about the Celestial Sparrow’s safety, was also because Jia Na knew that the “Saint” had long been aware of the contract between the Celestial Sparrow and Jia Na.
Of course, the reason Jia Na knew about this was that the Celestial Sparrow had inadvertently let it slip, which made Jia Na remember the matter.
And because of this, Jia Na knew that the “Saint” had no dissatisfaction with the Celestial Sparrow signing a contract with her,
but rather a tacit approval.
Therefore, after quickly weighing the pros and cons, Jia Na decided to use the “Saint’s” power to rescue the Celestial Sparrow.
After all, to some extent, that “Saint” was also the Celestial Sparrow’s mentor and guide, and would not possibly allow the Celestial Sparrow to die.
“Ding-a-ling—”
Just as Jia Na continuously consumed her soul power and performed soul resonance, an extreme holy light burst forth above Jia Na’s head.
“Are you calling me?”
Jia Na, sensing the holy light, also stopped her soul resonance, but before she could even greet, a majestic, low voice echoed in Jia Na’s ear.
“Yes—revered Saint, it is I who am calling you.”
Just as Jia Na expected, the other party showed no malice towards her, but was rather very gentle.
“It seems your memories have truly completely vanished.”
Because the holy light emanating from the “Saint” before her was too dazzling, coupled with the other party’s vast and profound aura, Jia Na kept her head bowed and eyes downcast throughout, not daring to look directly at the other party.
It wasn’t until the other party spoke the words “memories vanished” to Jia Na that Jia Na, after several guesses in her mind, slowly dared to raise her head.
“Gods cannot be looked at directly. Even if this is just my incarnation, with your current unrecovered strength, looking directly at a god will only cause injury.”
Incarnation? Unrecovered strength?
When Jia Na heard the word “incarnation,” she could confirm that this “Saint” before her was not a Lower Angel at all, but a powerful existence whose strength far surpassed that of all the wizards in White Coral Academy.
After all, if even a clone could reach the strength of a Lower Angel, its true body’s strength would only be even greater.
And the latter part of the other party’s sentence, as well as the “memories vanished” comment made earlier, proved that this “Saint” should know Evefresia, the former wielder of the Law of Nature and Life.
At the same time, the other party also mistook Jia Na for Evefresia’s reincarnation. “Saint, the reason I presumptuously disturbed you this time is because my companion, also the most loyal believer of holy light, Afu, is currently in a critical situation.”
“Don’t worry, it’s just that its power has advanced too quickly, causing its soul to enter a self-sealed state—”
