The terror of a Scroll Professor
Laticia's body was trembling slightly, showing signs of waking up, but under the power of "Nightmare," her breathing became steady and long again.
With the final blow, the Nightmare vanished.
Success?
Lorry was stunned, unable to believe his eyes.
He made extensive preparations for the upcoming battle, racking his brains to simulate possible scenarios and pre-planning corresponding methods for each one.
As a result, Laticia was forced into Dream Infiltration?
Huff... Lorry's eyes flickered slightly as he gently exhaled.
Without hesitation, he began to caress the White Bone Ring.
"Wind Blade"!
A thin, cyan Wind Blade instantly formed and shot towards Laticia's smooth neck.
Suddenly, Laticia sprang to her feet, nimbly leaping to the side, narrowly escaping the Wind Blade, her full red lips moving slightly.
One after another, dazzling starlight flew out from her body, rose into the air and looked down, and in the blink of an eye, it landed around Lorry.
Buzz--
The starlight silently collapsed, creating a huge, transparent cage, like an insect encased in amber, trapping him inside.
Lorry narrowed his eyes, recognizing Laticia's methods.
--This is a new ability that "Astronomer" gain after Advancement, which is the "Starlight Cage" that Zachary just introduced.
However, Laticia's actions did not stop.
She opened her right hand, and a ball of slowly rotating stardust quickly formed in her palm.
Countless glittering stars then appeared, densely packed, silently scattering beams of light that converged to form a magnificent pillar of light.
A colossal pillar of light coalesced directly above Lorry, enveloping an area of several meters in radius around him.
--This is "Pillar of the Stars," another ability of the "Astronomer."
The "Starlight Cage" only serves to trap enemies; when combined with the immensely powerful "Pillar of the Stars," it becomes the ultimate weapon that Laticia has prepared!
That's why she initially pretended to be Dream Infiltration.
On one hand, it lowers the enemy's guard; on the other hand, it secretly mobilizes its own Spirituality to prepare this seemingly unbeatable series of deadly moves!
Amidst the interwoven and flowing starlight, Lorry met a pair of bluish-gray eyes.
Laticia smiled slightly, her smile quite alluring, her distinctive bluish-gray eyes revealing a hint of mockery, and her red lips slightly parted.
After a half-second eye contact, Lorry smiled.
"Madam, opening champagne at the halfway point has a bad connotation..." he muttered to himself, a cryptic smile playing on his lips as he calmly stroked the White Bone Ring.
The next instant, his figure vanished from inside the massive amber, reappearing dozens of meters away in Laticia's wide-eyed gaze.
This is a "Flash" of the "Traveler"!
As soon as he regained his footing, Lorry launched another attack without hesitation, quickly whispering in Ancient Hermes, "The mystery here has weakened..."
Before the Incantation was even finished, his Spirituality intuition gave him a frantic warning.
Stop!
Otherwise, the situation will inevitably deteriorate!
A thought struck Lorry, and he quickly switched to simulating another ability.
Two points of light rapidly appeared in his dark eyes, growing larger and brighter, like lightning suddenly piercing the sky.
Laticia groaned in Affliction, her beautifully curved chin jerked up, and her full red lips parted slightly, as if she were about to let out a Affliction scream.
But none of this happened.
A crisp "click" rang out from the outer pocket of the oversized men's jacket; Mirrors, prepared in advance, took the hit in place of the person in question.
The playfulness in her eyes vanished, replaced by intense resentment and uncertainty. Her gaze swept over the White Bone Ring on Lorry's finger, and a flurry of thoughts raced through her mind.
This Sealed Artifact corresponds to "Shepherd," "Scribe," or "Polymath"? Laticia pursed her lips, greed surging in her eyes.
She pulled out a scroll covered in mysterious symbols and flowing with blue-purple light, and almost silently recited the activation Incantation: "Lightning!"
Call!
The blue-purple scroll Burning rapidly.
A dense barrage of lightning struck Lorry like raindrops.
Not only the "Magician," but the well-prepared "Scroll Professor" is even more terrifying... Each bolt of lightning is no less powerful than Sequence 7 attack...
Moreover, it's almost instantaneous... Lorry sighed inwardly, his expression slightly grim, knowing that his speed couldn't possibly surpass that of lightning.
He acted decisively, stroking the White Bone Ring:
"Distortion!"
Boom!
A cluster of lightning struck an open area not far away, carving out a huge, scorched crater.
At this moment, Laticia was ready for a new offensive. As her red lips moved, two magic scrolls silently burst into flames.
The recently dispersed dark clouds suddenly regrouped, with lightning brewing within them.
In an instant, dozens of lightning bolts struck again.
While remaining wary of the enemy's yet-to-be-unleashed sorcery, Lorry used his old trick again, using "Distortion" to redirect lightning strikes to other areas.
But this time, an unexpected incident occurred!
The trajectories of the dozens of lightning bolts had just changed when, with Laticia waving her right palm, they returned to their original paths, heading straight for Lorry.
A power similar to "Distortion"? Lorry was secretly taken aback.
Fortunately, he kept an eye on Laticia's movements to prevent her from launching a sneak attack, so he reacted instinctively and used "Flash" to reposition himself again.
Slightly relieved, Lorry's gaze turned deep.
No!
The "Scroll Professor's" magic scrolls were prepared in advance and consumed very little Spirituality energy when used; I must change the current situation as soon as possible.
He quickly put on the "Knight's Hand":
"Witchcraft is forbidden here!"
Having finished speaking, he continued almost without pausing for breath:
"The use of Mirror Substitution is prohibited here."
Another Sealed Artifact, corresponding to the "Disciplinary Paladin"? Laticia felt an invisible restriction and opened her red lips twice in confusion.
At this moment, Lorry quickly crushed a "Spirituality Restoration" Charm to replenish most of his depleted Spirituality, while simultaneously raising his right hand and whispering in Ancient Hermes:
"This area is off-limits..."
"Enough!" Laticia reached for the blue heart-shaped teardrop Accessory dangling from her fair collarbone, tilted her head back, took a deep breath, and roared:
"Boom!"
Buzz!
Lorry felt as if he had been struck by a heavy blow, and instantly became timid and submissive, looking at the woman opposite him with lowered eyes, feeling that her figure was exceptionally tall.
Sealed Artifact crafted using the "Ocean Songster" trait? Too bad, I have the "Calmness" Ring... He chuckled inwardly, mocking his enemy in his heart.
This is the effect of "Knight's Hand".
Fortunately, the "Calmness" ring suppressed the negative effects of this Sealed Artifact. Arrogance as Arrogance was, at least he wouldn't make the same foolish mistakes as Harras had.
Similarly, despite feeling terrified, Lorry, who was under a state of Fear, remained Calmness and would not give up resisting.
Laticia hovered in mid-air, her palm pointing downwards.
Lorry suppressed his fear, decisively consumed some of his Luck, switched the perspective of the "Fire Seed" glove, and forcefully grasped the blue heart-shaped teardrop Accessory.
Stealing successful!
He pointed with his hand back. "Lightning Strike!"
Boom!
A bolt of silvery lightning appeared out of nowhere, and Laticia fell from mid-air, her clothes charred, her expression listless, and her eyes vacant as she lay sprawled on the ground.
