Fate Magic and the Dungeon Ruins

Charlotte spoke from beside them.

At this moment, she greatly admired Vanessa's actions as well. After all, if someone could persist to this extent while their magic power was in chaos, it was enough to show her resilience.

Although the Black Bulls were a gathering of people with problems, and even the nobles of the Clover Kingdom's Royal Capital saw them as a group of exceptionally crude people,

Charlotte's eyes still filled with admiration when she looked at Vanessa.

With that kind of resilience, Vanessa's future achievements would undoubtedly be terrifying.

Charlotte explained to Noelle beside her:

"Vanessa is fundamentally different from you. Although I don't know what her Thread Magic is brewing, it is obvious that the level of magic she is preparing is not on the same level as yours at all."

"Or rather, the essence of her magic has already touched upon a certain magical law, which is why it is so difficult to awaken."

"Therefore, the suffering she endures is far greater than yours.

Whether she can succeed depends only on luck and her own perseverance."

Vanessa's entire body was almost spraying blood mist.

Yet even so, she continued forward barefoot.

At this moment, no one paid attention to the alluring proportions of her waist and hips, or even her curves.

Everyone merely watched her in silence, waiting to see when she would complete this transformation from cocoon to butterfly.

However, when Vanessa took another step forward,

Crack!

Her entire body seemed to have been struck by lightning as a thick layer of ice instantly sealed her in.

The ice kept multiplying endlessly, turning into an iceberg in the blink of an eye.

Flames rose around the iceberg.

The dual trial of ice and fire descended at once.

The flames kept burning, and Vanessa could clearly be seen struggling within them. But at this moment, she seemed to have reached her limit.

Sol Marron truly was a straightforward person.

Although she disliked men, she viewed Carl differently.

Though she occasionally snapped at Carl, it was more the natural aggression brought about by her dislike of men.

Vanessa's situation had undoubtedly moved Sol Marron's heart as well.

"I'll do it. I'll save her!"

Sol Marron instantly swung a massive stone hammer created from earth, preparing to help Vanessa break through her limit.

However, Charlotte raised her hand to stop her.

"If you help her break free now, then she may never have another chance to truly control herself."

"Whether she wants that strange and peculiar power or not must be decided by her alone."

Noelle's expression was also filled with conflict.

Only Carl walked toward Vanessa step by step.

He came before Vanessa, and their gazes met.

The next moment, their hearts seemed to connect in an instant.

"Do you need my help?"

Vanessa trembled slightly.

Beneath the ice, her pain and struggle could be seen clearly.

Those indescribable emotions, along with the torment of her body, were reflected back to Carl without reservation.

Even Carl could not help being astonished by Vanessa's resilience.

The next moment, Carl continued to encourage her.

"I think you can do it. I don't know what Red Thread Magic is, but you are the most special one."

"I have always believed that."

Carl extended his hand.

The Red Thread Cat on the back of his hand seemed to open its eyes at that moment.

At the same time, red light lit up on the back of Vanessa's hand as well.

Carl's hand gently pressed against Vanessa's face, which looked like an ice sculpture.

The next moment, Vanessa's entire body began to tremble violently.

Congratulations, Host, you have gained +100 favorability from Vanessa.

Congratulations, Host, you have gained Vanessa's shyness, +100 favorability.

Congratulations, Host, you have gained Vanessa's shyness, +200 favorability.

Carl was a little dumbfounded.

Only then did he realize just how alluring the "ice sculpture" before him was.

Vanessa's curves were displayed without reservation.

Carl felt his eyes heat up as he watched.

He glanced at the others behind him, then encouraged her again.

"You can definitely do it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding ice began to tremble violently. Red threads connected Carl and Vanessa.

The next moment, an inexplicable and terrifying entanglement formed.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

One red thread after another burst forth.

The red threads were like the sharpest blades, continuously cutting through the ice.

The ice shattered.

Those red threads intertwined with one another, ultimately turning completely into a little red cat.

The little red cat leaped out of Vanessa's hand.

It affectionately licked her once.

Then, the little cat rubbed itself against Carl beside her.

An indescribable vibration frequency suddenly rippled around Vanessa's body.

Vanessa seemed to awaken from a dream.

The next moment, the magic power surging within her body filled her with wild delight.

"Fate Creation Magic—Resonance Synchronization!"

Congratulations, Host, you have completed Mission 6: Vanessa's Fate Red Thread

Help Vanessa activate Fate Magic. Reward: 3,000 Golden Vitality.

Carl inwardly exclaimed, Awesome!!!

Flames and ice crystals attacked again.

Countless terrifying magical auras erupted wildly.

Yet Vanessa now seemed to have become transparent.

As the Red Thread Cat and the threads vibrated, even the surrounding air began to resonate at a special frequency.

The flames and ice seals vanished directly the instant they touched her.

Vanessa revealed a delighted expression.

The instant the Red Thread Cat merged into her body, all her injuries vanished completely.

It was as though they had never existed.

"Th-this... is Fate Magic?"

Charlotte's eyes widened.

This was an extremely difficult magic to awaken, even more terrifying than the magic awakened through Four-leaf Clover magic power.

This was a legendary existence—Fate Magic!

"This is too absurd...

Are all the people gathered around Carl this kind of person?"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

At that moment, the flames and frost seemed to have been thoroughly provoked. Two sharp, piercing screeches came from the distant lake.

The sounds echoed from afar.

Charlotte's expression instantly froze.

"Not good...

The remnant souls of the ice and fire 'spirits' seem to have completely awakened and erupted."

"We... have angered them."

Endless gales suddenly swept through the surroundings.

Flames and ice crystals coexisted in a bizarre fashion, continuously growing.

The ice crystals grew madly, stabbing toward them like spikes. The flames clinging to the ice crystals burned with fierce radiance.

The color of the flames gradually shifted from crimson to orange-white, even slowly developing toward pale blue.

The terrifying magical flames surging upward seemed ready to tear apart the entire sky.

The violent magical aura made this entire space tremble madly.

Charlotte's expression was extremely grave.

Sol Marron roared:

"Earth Creation Magic—Earthen Stone Walls!"

Countless rocks and earth rose from the ground, forming a massive circular defensive fortification around them.

Charlotte snorted coldly.

"Thorn Magic—Rose's Cursed Light!"

Thorns grew and bloomed wildly, with a faint blue radiance even appearing upon them.

Countless thorns clung to the stone walls.

They formed an exceptionally dense and terrifying reinforced defensive structure.

Several layers of defense barely withstood this calamity while on the verge of collapse.

Vanessa once again activated her Thread Magic and the Red Thread Cat.

The next moment, the surrounding ice-and-fire magic power kept dissipating, regenerating, and dissipating again.

A trace of exhaustion showed on Vanessa's face.

Noelle immediately fully expanded her Sea Dragon's Cradle as well.

A total of four defensive spells propped up a massive protective barrier in this space.

Yet the howling sounds in the distance were drawing closer and closer.

Two spectral figures of Elves with pointed ears and damaged bodies circled continuously through the air, their eyes filled with endless madness and hatred.

"Humans... damned humans!"

"You... will all die!"

"You deceived me!

Humans will come to no good end!"

As the howls fell—Ice-Fire Nine Heavens!

Ice crystals and flames continuously descended from the sky.

Boundless pressure crashed down wildly.

The terrifying aura released by the Ice-Fire Elves' "Burning Remnant Souls" had already far exceeded the range of magic power a captain could unleash.

With an even more mournful howl, the two Elves seemed to be calling for something.

A special magic array condensed in the air.

The next moment, the magic array abruptly vanished.

Beneath a mountain peak thousands of miles away, the earth suddenly began to rumble violently.

A massive pit suddenly appeared.

Magical light bloomed from within.

An aura carrying endless killing intent shot into the sky.

All the surrounding beasts died in an instant.
