Chapter 332: Blood Earl
Three hours had passed since Jia Na stepped into the Mist Forest.
During these three hours, Jia Na encountered five waves of Shadow Creature sneak attacks.
Fortunately, the Shadow Creature were not strong, and with the cooperation of the Law of Power and a few contracted creatures, Jia Na easily completed the hunt.
“Crack—”
Stepping on broken branches, as Jia Na went deeper, the Celestial Sparrow, which had been sitting on Jia Na's shoulder, suddenly stood up alertly.
“Master, I smell that stench again!”
Hearing the Celestial Sparrow's reminder, Jia Na nodded calmly, then gently grasped the raven pendant with her left hand and continued walking forward.
After Lucifer's treatment, the Celestial Sparrow woke up that same night.
After waking up, the Celestial Sparrow not only gained a deeper understanding of the Purification Law but also acquired a new ability: Element Possession.
As the name suggests, Element Possession means that the Celestial Sparrow can directly possess Jia Na, its contractor, in an elemental form.
Jia Na had also experimented with this ability with the Celestial Sparrow. When the Celestial Sparrow used Element Possession, it would transform into a golden jade forehead ornament worn on Jia Na's head.
And Jia Na, who was “possessed,” experienced a leap in her Purification ability, with no abnormalities in her body or consciousness.
The Celestial Sparrow's so-called Element Possession was completely different from Jia Na's understanding of “possession”; it was more like adding a wizard tool to Jia Na.
The function of this wizard tool was to integrate the Celestial Sparrow's own Purification ability into Jia Na's Purification Law Fragment in an energy form.
After the fusion was complete, when Jia Na used her Purification power again, its might even far surpassed the power of the Growth Law Fragment.
This was equivalent to perfectly inheriting the Celestial Sparrow's Purification ability on top of Jia Na's own Purification Law Fragment power, achieving an effect greater than one plus one, even greater than three.
Of course, this fusion state also consumed a lot of the Celestial Sparrow's energy, lasting for a maximum of about half an hour.
“Master, that stench is getting closer to us!”
The Celestial Sparrow's almost screaming alert sounded in Jia Na's mind. At the same time, the warning from the Danger Perception talent made goosebumps appear on Jia Na's arms.
“So, you are the one Lord has been searching for.”
Just as Jia Na was about to activate the raven pendant, a sharp voice, like a blade scratching a mirror, suddenly sounded in Jia Na's ear.
“It's a Vampire indeed.”
Black mist enveloped, blood aura permeated.
As the voice appeared, a silver-white bat with eyes like blood-colored agates slowly flew out of a narrow, elongated shadow crack and perched on a branch not far from Jia Na.
“Nice to meet you. My name is Yulan - Blood Red, a Blood Earl.”
Blood Earl... that's a Blood Earl!?
Hearing the other party's words, Jia Na's pupils suddenly contracted.
As a superior to a Vampire Baron whose strength reached the Third-level Wizard Apprentice, the Blood Earl's strength was comparable to a First-Level Wizard among humans. “No!”
After a moment of panic, Jia Na immediately denied this conjecture.
Because Anthony-Black Sparrow once said that any Shadow Creature whose strength reached the Formal Wizard level would inevitably be repelled by the Primary Material World's laws upon entering the Magic Tower Barrier. It was impossible for him to appear so leisurely and easily before Jia Na.
Therefore, this Vampire, who called himself a “Blood Earl,” definitely did not reach the level of a First-Level Wizard.
Or, this silver-white bat in front of her was not Yulan - Blood Red's true body, but merely a degraded clone.
However, the constantly triggered Danger Perception talent kept reminding Jia Na that the true strength of this silver-white bat was unfathomable, far beyond what the current Jia Na could contend with. While Jia Na was sizing up the other party, Yulan - Blood Red was also constantly sizing up Jia Na with his Blood Red eyes.
The wizard robe was loose, but as she walked, it could not hide Jia Na's tall and graceful figure.
The hood covered her face. Even though the wizard hood covered most of Jia Na's face, the faintly revealed long neck and the fair, delicate chin made Yulan - Blood Red's heart burn.
“Beautiful Miss Wizard, I have no ill intentions towards you. The reason I am here this time is simply by Lord's command, to invite you to my ancient castle as a guest.”
Hearing this, Jia Na's lips curled into a cold smile, but when she spoke, she deliberately made her voice tremble slightly.
“I am just a weak Wizard Apprentice. Why would Blood Red Warlock go to such lengths to find me?”
“Oh? It seems you've already guessed some things.”
After reconfirming that there was no one else around besides Jia Na, Yulan - Blood Red transformed, directly changing from a silver-white bat form into a tall, handsome middle-aged man with a slightly refined demeanor.
“I cannot tell you the reason why Lord is looking for you, but I can assure you of one thing: as long as you cooperate obediently, I will not harm you.”
“I am willing to believe you—but even if you won't harm me, how can you guarantee that the other Blood Clan members who came with you won't harm me?”
Hearing Jia Na's almost “tearful” voice, the smile on Yulan - Blood Red's face softened even further.
“Beautiful Miss Wizard, you don't need to test me. I can tell you very clearly that there is no third person here besides you and me.”
“Really?”
As soon as she finished speaking, Jia Na slowly took off the hood she was wearing.
And Yulan - Blood Red, who had been closely watching Jia Na's every move, seeing Jia Na's exquisitely beautiful face that could not be described by any words, his breathing paused for a moment. “Crack—”
Charisma was awe-inspiring, beauty bloomed.
The moment Jia Na took off her wizard hood, the power of the Fragment of the Law of Beauty instantly reached its peak.
And at the very moment Yulan - Blood Red was distracted by the Law of Power, Jia Na directly crushed the gem embedded in the raven pendant, completing the activation of the magic circle.
“Buzz—”
The magic circle activated, light bloomed. As blue and white flames rapidly burned, Anthony-Black Sparrow, clad in a black wizard robe,
slowly walked out of the flames.
“You did very well.”
Hearing Anthony-Black Sparrow's praise, Jia Na, who quickly retreated behind him, merely clutched her magic wand tightly, ready to cast spells at any moment.
