Thousand Needles Like Rain
Ahead, a group of young wizards were huddled in a circle, chattering amongst themselves.
First of all, it should be noted that such chaotic and noisy situations are not common in the Sleeping Dragon Society. Skylar has always been very clear about the purpose of establishing the Sleeping Dragon Society - the Sleeping Dragon Society is not simply a club for students to exchange ideas and benefits, but an underground organization with actual combat, scientific research and logistical capabilities.
To achieve these goals, strict discipline, strong cohesion, a rigid hierarchy, and efficient collaborative execution are all indispensable.
Among these, the formulation and enforcement of discipline and rules are of utmost importance.
Soon, some members noticed Skylar's arrival, and the young wizards gradually quieted down, automatically making way for him.
Surrounding the center of the area were Daphne and Sarf.
Daphne wore a simple, tight-fitting blue robe, her long hair tied into a long golden ponytail that swung behind her head. Her face was full of energy, and her whole body radiated a soft blue and green light. Clearly, she had grown remarkably since she received the Druid inheritance.
On the other side, Sarf wore a dark green cloak, carved with nine large black and purple snakes, and below it was a dark battle robe. Her black hair was tied into a high bun with four-colored hairpins. Combined with her cold and aloof beauty and temperament, she made all the audience hold their breath.
The two women stood on either side of the center of the arena, their wands pointing lightly at the ground, their faces filled with intense fighting spirit.
As mentioned earlier, the Sleeping Dragon Society is divided into five groups, the most important of which is the combat group that fights on the front lines, also known as the "Dragon Head".
Daphne has been the leader of this group since the Dragon Head was founded.
Having followed Skylar for a long time, Daphne understood Skylar's thoughts best among all Skylar girlfriends. Therefore, she never dared to neglect her duties and always devoted herself wholeheartedly to the training and development of the Dragon Head.
Later, through a series of coincidences, Skylar subdued Sarf. As Sarf's strength grew, Skylar would not waste such a talent, so he arranged for her to use Human Transfiguration to transform into a student and infiltrate the organization, becoming the shadow leader of the group, complementing Daphne or secretly assisting Daphne in her actions.
Sarf is stronger than Daphne and is proficient in the long-lost Parseltongue magic. Her overall combat ability rivals that of the top Auror.
In Skylar's vision, both girls already possessed magical power comparable to that of Auror, and each had mastered secret magical techniques. If the two girls cooperated properly, it would be enough to elevate the organization's combat strength by several levels.
Privately, Skylar also hoped that the two women, who had never met before, could take this opportunity to develop a relationship and understanding. His girlfriends were still unaware of Sarf's situation—wouldn't it make things easier when he needed to confess to Daphne and the other girls later?
I don't know why the two girls suddenly started confronting each other.
Of course, Skylar had no intention of interfering.
First of all, both girls had only fighting spirit on their faces, not killing intent, which clearly indicated that it was going to be a duel.
Next, Skylar was also curious about the two girls' current strength, and he wanted to take this opportunity to understand the level of Daphne and Sarf's combat abilities.
The two women chanted incantations simultaneously, but Daphne was clearly faster, releasing a bolt of lightning first.
Lightning Curse is the fastest of all the offensive spells Skylar has mastered. If he encounters an opponent whose strength is far inferior to his own, he is very likely to knock Skylar out in one round.
Daphne's aggressive attack is probably based on the same strategy.
Although Sarf was at a disadvantage in speed, she calmly and unhurriedly unleashed the "Venom Arrow." With a hissing sound, the ferocious snake head on the arrow opened its blood-red maw, swallowed the lightning, and pounced on Daphne.
Skylar's pupils constricted as he watched. Unlike himself, who was proficient in all sorts of magic, Sarf was completely absorbed in the magic of Parseltongue. It could be said that her skill and mastery of this "Venom Arrow" had surpassed his own.
Daphne's magic was broken, but she remained unusually calm. Her magical strength after taking the Magic Blood Potion was at the Auror level, but she had heard Skylar mention that Sarf had reached the peak of the Auror level, and in terms of magical power alone, she was definitely a cut above her.
The serpent arrow emitted a sinister green light, its mouth open as if to devour its enemy. Daphne rapidly waved her wand, and a green phantom appeared, coiling around her delicate body. Upon closer inspection, everyone saw that the round phantom was wearing a crimson hat, somewhat resembling a cactus from the desert.
The serpent arrow struck the green phantom, and with a loud bang, the magical elements exploded, sending Daphne tumbling backward.
Sarf pressed her advantage, intensifying her attack. As she chanted a long incantation, moisture in the air condensed at a visible speed, and a chilling white mist began to spread.
Skylar nodded in approval. Daphne's attacks mainly consisted of fire and lightning. By casting this magic, Sarf had turned the situation around and turned the circumstances into her advantage, making it a tactic that allowed her to both attack and defend.
Daphne let out a sharp cry, and the sound of sharp blades cutting through the air echoed from the thick fog, sounding like many Severing Curse attacking at the same time.
Sarf's lovely brows furrowed slightly. She had already changed her position in the thick fog, and her long-practiced Serpent Movement Technique allowed her to move without making any noise. Combined with this Mist Summoning Spell, it was an excellent combination for a sneak attack.
Daphne couldn't possibly know where she was, so she could only be abusing her magic, casting Severing Curse to attack randomly in all directions.
Skylar looked up at Morrie and Susan in the crowd— Morrie had already used magic to create a barrier, while Susan had activated the Holy Spirit's Remains in her bloodline power, and a giant skeleton phantom burning with purple flames enveloped the young wizards watching.
Morrie is skilled in Charms and has worked hard on defensive barriers while researching the "Fidelius Charm"; coupled with the defensive power brought by Susan's awakened bloodline power, the Severing Curse charm cast by Daphne should not be able to harm the onlookers.
Skylar nodded. The girls had not disappointed her. They had all learned to use their skills to contribute to the organization. It was because of them that Daphne and Sarf were able to fight with all their might.
But the next second, everyone, including Skylar, realized that they had underestimated Daphne.
As the "blade" pierced through the icy mist, the sharp-eyed young wizard finally saw clearly—
That's not Severing Curse.
That is--
Countless, densely packed black spikes!
The Druid's Secret Magic Technique - Thousand Needles Like Rain!
This is a phantom cactus summoned by magic. After receiving an attack from an opponent, it absorbs the power contained in the attack, causing the cactus to swell and explode, shooting out the sharp thorns on its stem like raindrops.
The cactus phantom is circular, meaning Daphne's attack is a 360-degree all-around attack. Most ingeniously, this move doesn't consume much of her magic power, because the power of the bursting spikes comes entirely from Sarf's attack.
