Chapter 385: Dreamwalking Technique (First Update)
Chapter 385: Dreamwalking Technique (First Update)
Through the study of the "Fire" card, Jerry gained a deeper understanding of flame magic. Not only did the power of the Dragonfire Spell greatly increase, but he also reached a level with the Fiendfyre that matched Grindelwald's.
Blue flames continuously flew from Jerry's palms, coalescing into fierce beasts that collided with the powerful, resentment-laden water controlled by the Cold Beauty.
According to the principle of the Five Elements, water can overcome fire, but that is only in normal circumstances.
Sometimes, fire can also overcome water, especially when its power and quantity far exceed that of the water, allowing it to evaporate the water completely into the air.
This was the current situation. Supported by Jerry's formidable magic power, the amount of Fiendfyre increased, and its special Dark Magic effects and extreme heat, which could instantly reduce a person to ashes, made the water controlled by the Cold Beauty begin to vanish.
"Such powerful fire magic, such formidable magic power!"
Patriarch Li, who had slightly recovered some of his magic power, watched as Jerry effortlessly released the powerful blue flames without any pressure. He finally understood why his son had such strong faith in this person, believing that he would one day surpass Kulorido.
According to the records in the family archives, Kulorido at this age had never possessed such strength.
"This is impossible!"
The Cold Beauty, seeing all the water she controlled evaporate and the blue flames advancing towards her body, wore an expression of disbelief.
Apart from Kulorido, she had never lost before.
The blue flames first ignited her feet, then spread upwards, gradually enveloping her entire body.
"Is it over!"
Patriarch Li, watching the Cold Beauty encased in blue flames above, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He had never encountered such a powerful ghost before. Without Jerry, he would have needed to bring all the elders and magical artifacts of the Li family to stand a chance.
However, when the Fiendfyre dissipated, the Cold Beauty had not been reduced to ashes and was still floating there.
"What's going on?"
Patriarch Li immediately became alert. Could such powerful flames not even burn her to death?
"Lord, don't worry, it should be fine now!"
At that moment, Jerry's gentle voice came from the side.
Sure enough, as Jerry's words faded, the Cold Beauty opened her eyes again.
But now, her eyes were no longer filled with resentment and madness; they were much clearer, and her expression had become much softer.
She slowly descended from the air, stopping in front of Jerry and the Cold Beauty, and said in a voice full of remorse:
"I am Water Divination of the Heavenly Derivation Sect. I apologize for the trouble I caused both of you. Please forgive me."
It turned out that while Jerry was using the Fiendfyre to burn the Cold Beauty, he hadn't actually destroyed her soul; instead, he had only burned away all the malicious spirits.
Free from the resentment, the Cold Beauty had regained her composure and was no longer controlled by negative emotions.
In Jerry's view, the Cold Beauty was also a pitiable person. Since she hadn't caused any real harm, he was willing to save her when he could.
"You are too kind!"
Jerry and Patriarch Li, seeing that the Cold Beauty had fully recovered, also returned a Taoist Salutation.
Cold Beauty hesitated for a moment before finally speaking up:
"Two Taoist Companions, is Kulorido really gone?"
Jerry and Patriarch Li exchanged a glance and nodded in unison.
Not only is he gone, but he has even been reincarnated—twice. One of his reincarnations now has a son in high school.
Cold Beauty's expression turned sorrowful:
"Yes, so many years have passed, yet I've been harboring foolish hopes. Back then, I came here to make a living by fortune-telling, and this guy actually started offering free divinations right next to my shop.
I couldn't stand it and challenged him, but I lost in every aspect. I couldn't match his Divination Art, and my spells were no match for his either.
Acknowledging my inferiority, I closed my shop and stopped fortune-telling. But on my birthday, he gave me this hairpin. I thought it was a Token of Affection, but then he left.
I believed he must have had important matters to attend to, so I waited for his return, waited and waited, until my lifespan was exhausted. In the end, my obsession turned me into a ghost, and I have been dwelling in this Taoist Tome ever since."
Suppressing her sorrow, Cold Beauty took out a Taoist Tome and handed it to Jerry with a smile:
"Thanks to the two of you, my obsession is finally resolved. I'm going to be reincarnated. This Taoist Tome contains the most powerful Taoist Art I mastered in my lifetime. Consider it a token of my gratitude!"
"Dreamwalking Technique!"
Jerry took the Taoist Tome, his eyes lighting up as he read the four words inscribed on it.
At that moment, Cold Beauty dissolved into points of light and vanished.
"Water Divination, it's her! I should have known!"
Patriarch Li watched Cold Beauty disappear, unable to suppress a sigh.
"Water Divination" was a well-documented figure in the family's records, the last disciple of the Heavenly Derivation Sect, and reputed to be the most powerful mage of her time, second only to Kulorido.
Even the Patriarch Li of those days was no match for this disciple of the Heavenly Derivation Sect. However, she suddenly vanished, and no one heard from her again.
Who would have thought she was ensnared by love, defeated by Kulorido.
Life is truly unpredictable!
"Lord, let's head back!"
Seeing that the matter was resolved and he had obtained a Taoist Tome for dreamwalking, Jerry felt elated. He drew a portal to the Li family villa and said to Patriarch Li.
"Thank you, Mr. Carmen!"
Patriarch Li looked at Jerry and muttered to himself:
"Daughters, you must work harder. This Golden Turtle Son-in-Law can't be allowed to slip away!"
Jerry, seeing Patriarch Li's smiling face, felt an inexplicable unease.
The two of them crossed the portal, leaving the special Spatial realm created by Water Divination and returning to the living room of the Li family villa.
"Lord, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."
Jerry was eager to return and study the newly acquired Dreamwalking Technique. He had never learned such a spell before.
However, in the private library of the Ancient One of Kamar-Taj, he had once read about a Dimensional Deity called the Lord of Nightmares, who had his own dream dimension and specialized in attacking enemies through dreams.
"Mr. Carmen, please!"
Patriarch Li smiled and gestured to Jerry.
The two then parted ways. Jerry was led by a servant to his room, while Patriarch Li convened the family elders in the chamber of secrets for a meeting.
