Chapter 384: Clow Reed's Deception (Third Update)
Chapter 384: Clow Reed's Deception (Third Update)
Inside the courtyard house, it was evident that a spatial spell similar to the Traceless Expansion Spell had been used to alter the space. The interior was significantly larger than it appeared from the outside.
As they ascended along the wall, Jerry and the Li Family Patriarch quickly broke free from the water's engulfing grasp and emerged above the surface.
At this moment, they finally saw their target—the woman who frequently appeared in Sakura's dreams.
She was a strikingly cold and beautiful woman, wearing a long-sleeved white Taoist robe, with three pink flower marks on her forehead and an ornate hairpin in her hair. She was currently floating in the air with her eyes closed.
"It's someone from the Tianyan Sect!"
Seeing the Taoist robe, the Li Family Patriarch immediately recognized it as the robe of the Tianyan Sect, which had disappeared decades ago.
Upon closer inspection, he furrowed his brow:
"That's not right, she's already dead. This is a ghostly form!"
"Without a physical body, only a soul, and yet still possessing such powerful magic, it seems she was very strong in life!"
Jerry also immediately realized that the woman floating in the air was not human. He marveled at how, even without a physical body, she still retained such formidable magical power.
After all, Dark Lord Voldemort, when reduced to a mere soul after his body was destroyed, could only barely possess small animals and cast minor spells.
At that moment, the beautiful woman floating in the air seemed to sense Jerry and the Li Family Patriarch's presence and slowly opened her eyes.
"Who are you? Why isn't it Clow Reed? Where is Clow Reed?"
When the woman opened her eyes and saw that the visitors were not Clow Reed but two strangers, she immediately flew into a rage. A powerful surge of magic emanated from her, causing the water in the room to surge violently.
"Indeed, this is related to Clow Reed!"
Hearing the cold and beautiful woman repeatedly call Clow Reed's name, Jerry inwardly sighed.
"Esteemed fellow of the Tianyan Sect, since you are already—"
The Li Family Patriarch made a Taoist salute to the cold and beautiful woman, intending to persuade her to move on to the afterlife since she was already dead. However, before he could finish, she interrupted him sharply:
"Even though you are not Clow Reed, the fact that you can come here means you must be connected to him. I will keep you here, and he will come naturally.
I have waited for him for decades, and I can wait a little longer!"
Without waiting for Jerry and the Li Family Patriarch to respond, she waved her hand, and the water, now infused with her magic, surged toward them.
"Freeze!"
Seeing the wave of water rushing toward them, Jerry extended his hand and used the freezing magic he had recently developed from the "Freeze" card. He immediately froze all the water in the room into ice blocks.
"Esteemed fellow, don't hold onto your resentment so strongly. You are already dead, and Clow Reed has long passed away. No matter how deep the grudge, it's time to let it go. It's better to move on and be reborn!"
Hearing Jerry's words, the cold and beautiful woman was taken aback. She pulled out the ornate hairpin from her hair and murmured:
"Clow is dead? No, it's impossible. When he gave me this hairpin, he promised to come back for me. I've waited for him for so many years, waiting and waiting. How could he be dead? How could he?"
As she spoke, two tears rolled down her cheeks, and the resentment around her intensified dramatically:
"You must be lying, lying to me. Clow Reed cannot be dead. He promised to marry me. I will kill you, kill you—"
"Crack!"
As the resentment around her grew, the ice that had been frozen solid shattered instantly, turning back into surging water that attacked Jerry and the Li Family Patriarch once more.
This time, the streams of water were clearly infused with the cold and alluring woman's resentment, transforming them into a more special existence that could no longer be frozen.
"Turns out it's not about revenge, but love. How cliché."
Upon hearing the cold and alluring woman's words, Jerry couldn't help but feel speechless.
He had thought that Clow Reed and this cold and alluring woman had some deep-seated grudge, causing her to remain an unreconciled spirit, waiting to seek revenge.
It turned out that Clow Reed had flirted with her, stolen her heart, and then irresponsibly left, never even visiting her before his death, leaving her to wait desperately for decades.
Thinking about it, the cold and alluring woman was truly a tragic figure.
He felt that Clow Reed should be renamed Clow Unscrupulous.
"Armor of Iron!"
Seeing the water surging towards him, Jerry extended his hand and cast an iron armor spell, blocking it entirely.
The water infused with the cold and alluring woman's resentment was indeed powerful, but it still fell short of breaking through Jerry's enhanced iron armor spell.
"She has been eroded by resentment, losing her sanity. If we don't clear it soon, she will grow stronger and eventually become a menace to the region!"
Sensing the increasing resentment emanating from the cold and alluring woman, the head of the Li family formed the necessary hand seals and channeled the remaining magic power within his body. He quickly recited the incantation:
"Crimson Heaven Fire Cloud, powerful and mighty. Absorb the evil qi, cut through the evil aura. Thunderbolts flash, winds never cease. Transcendental transformation, audience with the Imperial Deity. As ordered swiftly!"
As the head of the Li family finished the incantation, a cloud of thunder appeared above the cold and alluring woman, followed by a torrent of lightning striking her.
"Dragon Tiger Mountain's Thunderbolt Lightning Spell, but your technique is lacking. Disperse!"
The cold and alluring woman, seeing the thundercloud and lightning above her, let out a cold laugh. She immediately formed the hand seals and recalled all the water streams attacking the iron armor spell's protective barrier, condensing them together and charging towards the thunder and lightning.
Ordinary ghosts are yin beings, naturally suppressed by lightning. However, the cold and alluring woman was originally a member of the Daoist sect and was extremely powerful, far surpassing the current head of the Li family.
Therefore, she had her own way of dealing with lightning spells.
The massive water streams and the torrent of lightning met, and after a brief stalemate, all the lightning and thunderclouds were swallowed by the water infused with resentment.
"Alright, it's a good time to test my newly mastered Magic!"
Seeing the head of the Li family's lightning-based Daoist spell broken by the cold and alluring woman, Jerry dispelled the iron armor spell and slowly extended his right hand, muttering:
"Fiendfyre!"
A blue flame erupted from his palm, enveloping the cold and alluring woman.
Indeed, Jerry was using Fiendfyre.
Actually, Fiendfyre, known as one of the most destructive Dark Magic spells in the Harry Potter world, was something Jerry had been able to use for quite some time.
However, at first, he couldn't control it well, and the result could be that he would kill a thousand enemies but also lose eight hundred of his own, potentially burning a large number of innocent people.
As his magical abilities grew stronger and his understanding of Magic deepened, his control over Fiendfyre also improved.
Eventually, he could even incorporate a bit of Fiendfyre's Dark Magic into his own Dragonfire Spell.
However, he could never achieve the level of mastery that Grindelwald had, where he could freely control Fiendfyre, directing it to burn whomever he wanted and avoiding harm to those he didn't want to burn, even if they were enveloped by Fiendfyre.
It wasn't until recently, when he received the "Fire" card representing the four elements from Sakura, that he made this breakthrough.
