The aura emanating from Carvelyn underwent a sudden change, drastically different from before.
This time, Carvelyn not only shielded herself with the round shield concealed within her armor, but a golden light barrier also gradually formed around her. This unique defensive spell manifested after Carvelyn activated her bloodline.
Combining the defensive spell, the shield, and the armor, this trio, when unified, can arguably be considered the pinnacle of defensive spells for apprentices of this era. Had Carvelyn not encountered the demon behind Azaz at the time, relying solely on this defensive method, she might have easily advanced to the finals.
“Come,” Carvelyn’s voice resonated with determination. Though her eyes hidden behind the helm remained unseen, one could imagine them gleaming with unparalleled sharpness.
At this, Hilary solemnly nodded and raised her long whip high.
As the shadow of the whip danced in the air, the sight was one that the audience would likely never forget.
A pale blue halo illuminated the sky as an ice dragon, with its terrifying head held high, roared. Frost, accompanied by waves of energy, spread from the Bliss Pavilion, extending hundreds of meters outwards.
At this moment, almost everyone in the Woodrow Bar and the vicinity felt a profound shock emanating from the depths of their hearts!
Countless eyes turned towards the Bliss Pavilion. The Law Enforcement Team and Magic Eyes, accompanied by a beeping sound, flew nearby following the icy wind.
However, the two individuals at the center of the stage paid no attention to their surroundings; their focus was solely on each other.
Hilary channeled all her magic source, attempting to amplify the energy of her Ice Whip to its peak. When she felt the model of her magic power waver, she finally halted her channeling and directed her gaze towards Carvelyn.
Meanwhile, the ice dragon, holding its head aloft, directed its emotionless, indifferent gaze onto Carvelyn.
“Be careful.” Hilary cautioned, and then the ice dragon, like a light trespassing boundaries, enveloped by an endless icy wind, charged at Carvelyn!
Carvelyn could feel the terrifying aura, and her pupils, hidden beneath her helmet, slightly constricted.
Such an attack — even without direct contact, one could sense it’s nearly invincible might! Carvelyn had no choice but to stimulate her Magic Source again, reinforcing her defensive spell. Yet, even then, she couldn’t shake the feeling that perhaps her defenses might not hold against this onslaught.
As a precaution, beneath her armor, Carvelyn’s skin gradually sprouted a dense layer of scales. She activated her bloodline power, taking on a semi-beast form to face this terrifying ice dragon!
BOOM——
Upon collision, a massive sound echoed through half the district.
The soft blue of the icy glow intermingled with the blindingly pure golden light, a sight as dreamy and magical as any. Yet, only those who had truly experienced it knew the terror of that collision.
Waves of repelling energies constantly radiated outward, forcing everyone to avoid the range of the energy’s effect.
The sound, accompanied by the energy, lasted a whole half minute.
“What a terrifying attack!” “What’s going on? What’s the situation now?” “Is Carvelyn alright?” Voices from the crowd arose in unison, turning their attention to where Carvelyn had been.
However, at that moment, nothing could be seen. There was no sign of Carvelyn or the dragon, just a thick mist obscuring everyone’s view.
The mist didn’t linger long, soon dispelled by a gust of wind.
As the fog cleared, Carvelyn, hovering high in the sky, came into view.
When Coral caught sight of Carvelyn’s upright form, she let out a slight sigh of relief. Compared to before when Carvelyn was directly punched into the ground, her condition now was evidently much better.
However, Carvelyn remained motionless, leaving Coral clueless about what she might be doing. With a hint of curiosity, and amidst a rain of petals, Coral gently ascended to the sky.
When she finally approached Carvelyn, she got a clear view of her situation.
As Coral suspected, Carvelyn didn’t appear to be hurt, and her armor was intact. The only thing that had taken a hit was her shield.
The handheld round shield that she had used to protect herself had a depression right in the center. From this depression emanated several cracks. Numerous tarnished metal fragments peeled off from these cracks and fell, resembling golden streaks of light plummeting from the sky.
At that moment, Carvelyn was staring blankly at the shield in her hand, lost for words.
“Are you alright?” Coral stepped closer and asked.
Shirley was also observing Carvelyn with concern, worried that her full-strength might have hurt Carvelyn.
After a prolonged silence, Carvelyn finally spoke, “I’m fine, it’s just that… the shield is broken.”
“It’s just a shield. It was formed by the Shepherd God’s Garment, isn’t it self-repairable?” Coral commented.
Carvelyn shook her head, indicating that the main issue wasn’t the broken shield, but rather Shirley’s single whip strike. Not only had it directly shattered her protective spell derived from her bloodline, but it had also shattered the shield created by the Shepherd God’s Garment.
It’s imperative to recognize that, even with all her preparations in place, Carvelyn’s outermost two layers of defense were shattered by that blow. On any ordinary day, she couldn’t possibly maintain this pinnacle of defense everywhere and every time. Even in combat, she couldn’t possibly forsake all her offenses to accommodate her ultimate defense.
This essentially means, barring exceptional circumstances, Carvelyn would find it extremely challenging to directly confront Hilary’s Frost Whip.
A deep-rooted Sense of Defeat welled up within Carvelyn, making her feel profoundly bitter.
This is the weapon that the esteemed Lord Pat has crafted…
Carvelyn herself has commissioned a piece of alchemy from the Achillea Comprehensive College’s alchemists. Although it hasn’t been completed yet, she had visited halfway through the process and thus is acutely aware of the vast potential of that tailor-made weapon best suited for her.
When she first saw that weapon, she was thoroughly pleased. But now, in comparison to Hilary’s Frost Whip, they aren’t even on the same plane of power.
Even if the alchemist from Achillea outdid themselves, it still wouldn’t match up to the Frost Whip.
“Is this the disparity?” Indeed, the gap between the members of the Research Institute and ordinary alchemists is beyond comparison.
Carvelyn lamented softly, pondering that perhaps, had she not encountered Azaz and used the Space-Time Witch Attire, she might have had a chance at acquiring a customized piece from the Research Institute members…
While Carvelyn was lost in her thoughts, the surrounding Magic Eyes kept ringing incessantly. The energy blast from before, if released outside, would’ve been on par with what Jiebo and Cherie caused at the Fragrant Plaza, drawing both the Magic Eyes and the enforcement team. However, since Carvelyn bore the brunt of the attack, which didn’t extend beyond the Bliss Pavilion, the enforcement team merely stood guard around the perimeter.
In the midst of the chaotic alarms, a dignified middle-aged man, dressed with refined elegance, soared from a corner of the Woodrow Bar into the sky. This man was none other than the owner of the Woodrow Bar——Wizard Woodrow.
From his elevated viewpoint, he gazed down at the chaotic scene of the Bliss Pavilion, letting out a deep sigh: “I had thought that renting out the Bliss Pavilion to a few witches would bring some peace. It seems I was mistaken… But then again, this mess is your doing.”
It appeared as if he was conversing with someone, yet no one was beside him. The only companion he had was a small orb with transparent wings floating nearby.
A brief silence filled the air, after which a calm male voice emanated from the orb, “I simply delivered the custom weapon meant for Hilary commissioned by the Infinite Battle Tower. Who would’ve known she’d test it outright?”
