“Is she really a Wizard Apprentice?”
Inside the Potted Landscape Secret Realm, Louis Tor-Turan, who had flown to an extremely high altitude, felt a momentary surge of despair when he saw the waves before him, which were far higher than his flight altitude.
Why?
Why was the gap between them so vast, despite both being Wizard Apprentices?
Why was she so powerful, yet he had never heard of Jia Na-Luo Lan’s name in all these years?
Meanwhile, unlike Louis Tor-Turan’s emotional breakdown, Hai La - Herheim, who had transformed into a Skeletal Dragon, was constantly searching for a breakthrough, striving to overcome this crisis.
But—
It was too difficult!
Besides the surging colossal waves in front of her, the sky, filled with dark clouds and lightning, also prevented Hai La - Herheim from ascending further.
Not only that, but the seawater beneath them had already turned into one terrifying whirlpool after another. If Hai La - Herheim dared to enter the sea, she would inevitably be swallowed by the immense suction within the whirlpool, sinking into the deep sea and facing elimination.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Hai La - Herheim realized that what she was currently facing truly seemed to be an unsolvable “dead end.”
“Jia Na-Roland, is this your true strength—”
“Gurgle—”
At this moment, Jia Na, hidden within the waves, saw Louis Tor-Turan and Hai La - Herheim about to be swallowed by the waves, and a similar question arose in her heart:
Was all of this truly caused by her?
Due to Soul Transformation, Jia Na’s Mermaid Form had, to some extent, infinitely approached Complete Transformation.
However, Jia Na, whose strength was ultimately only that of a Wizard Apprentice and who had not truly mastered the Law of the Ocean, even when transformed into a mermaid, could at most only manipulate ocean currents and gain a “pseudo” water element affinity, along with the Heavenly Voice that came with the mermaid’s Extraordinary Charm attribute.
Therefore, Jia Na’s initial purpose in deciding to transform into a mermaid, besides using her mermaid body to avoid the oceanic natural disaster, was also to leverage the mermaid’s singing to unleash the power of the Fragment of the Law of Beauty.
And just as Jia Na had expected, amplified by the mermaid’s singing, Jia Na’s Heavenly Voice talent displayed an unexpectedly outstanding effect.
Not only did it instantly hard-control all participants except Louis Tor-Turan and Hai La - Herheim, but it also allowed Jia Na to overwhelmingly obtain six magic-sealed rings.
In fact, at this point, Jia Na’s score, which was far ahead of the second-place contestant, could already declare victory. However, upon seeing Louis Tor-Turan’s Phoenix and Hai La - Herheim’s Skeletal Dragon transformation forms, Jia Na also wanted to take the opportunity to test the limits of the Mermaid Form’s control over water elements.
With this thought, Jia Na no longer intentionally controlled her magic power. Instead, she let loose, leaped into the ocean, and fully manipulated the seawater, attempting to engulf both Louis Tor-Turan and Louis Tor-Turan.
It was at this moment that something that greatly puzzled Jia Na occurred.
As Jia Na continuously poured magic power into the surrounding waves, she discovered that her magic power, which should have been nearly depleted, was rapidly recovering.
Not only that, but Jia Na’s control over the waves also became increasingly proficient—as if an invisible hand was helping Jia Na from behind, allowing her to control the seawater incredibly smoothly.
Yet, looking at the colossal tsunami, almost like a natural disaster, Jia Na, as the “instigator,” still had an extreme sense of unreality.
“Crackle, crackle—” As the waves surged higher and higher, the sky, which had been densely covered with lightning, also began to pour down heavy rain. And for Louis Tor-Turan, who had transformed into a Phoenix, this was undoubtedly an even greater blow.
“Clang—”
Feeling his magic power drop to the warning line, Louis Tor-Turan finally activated the magic-sealed ring with an unwilling cry, declaring his elimination.
“Am I the only one left?”
Looking at Louis Tor-Turan, who had voluntarily activated the magic-sealed ring and exited the Potted Landscape Secret Realm, Hai La - Herheim couldn’t help but sigh dejectedly.
However, Hai La - Herheim, unwilling to simply hand over her magic-sealed ring to others, gritted her teeth when she saw the gigantic tsunami, which was already hundreds of meters high in front of her. With the last bit of magic power remaining in her body, she rapidly flapped the bone wings on her back,
Charging fearlessly towards the sky filled with lightning and dark clouds, seeking that last glimmer of hope.
“La la—la la la—”
Just as Hai La - Herheim was about to rush towards the sky to escape her current predicament, a familiar song once again sounded by Hai La - Herheim’s ear.
“Humph!”
One of the racial characteristics of undead creatures is their emotional indifference, making them less susceptible to mental control witchcraft.
Therefore, upon hearing Jia Na’s enchanting song, Hai La - Herheim merely let out a cold snort and continued to flap her wings, flying through the rain.
“Hai La - Herheim—”
Just as Hai La - Herheim was about to pierce through the dark clouds, the song lingering in her ears abruptly stopped. In its place was an exceptionally gentle and infinitely alluring Heavenly Voice, reaching directly into Hai La - Herheim’s soul, repeatedly chanting her name, “Hai La - Herheim, look at me.”
No matter how strong Hai La - Herheim’s willpower was, under the influence of the Law of Beauty, her speed involuntarily slowed down. Even her “unwillingness” gradually disappeared amidst the “harmless” calls, until it vanished completely.
“Whoosh—”
The sound of waves was deafening, covering the sky and obscuring the sun.
Finally, under the irresistible onslaught of the tsunami, Hai La - Herheim, the only remaining participant, also had no choice but to activate the magic-sealed ring and exit the Potted Landscape Secret Realm.
“Counting this one, that makes seventeen magic-sealed rings.”
After receiving the magic-sealed ring dropped by Hai La - Herheim, Jia Na also exited her mermaid’s Complete Transformation, subsequently shifting into the more magic-efficient “Mermaid Local Deformation Form.”
However, the waves, now uncontrolled by Jia Na, showed no signs of stopping. Instead, they surged higher and higher, truly possessing a terrifying momentum capable of engulfing everything.
“As expected of a secret realm known as the ‘Domain of Natural Disasters.’ Even if it’s just a ‘replica,’ it still possesses such immense power.”
Lightning, torrential rain, tsunami, whirlpools—looking at the devastated secret realm, a sense of indescribable awe couldn’t help but rise in Jia Na’s heart.
