A rare magical miracle in the world

"Die, die, die!"

"Go to hell!!"

Ina was completely oblivious to the pain she had inflicted on her comrade, her expression deranged, a stark contrast to her usual compliant demeanor.

The words of Black Rose had struck a nerve, bringing back extremely unpleasant memories for Ina. Continue reading stories on empire

Since arriving at Yatun Island and being saved by Bailuo, Ina had been working tirelessly, desperately studying magic with a fervor that belied her extraordinary talent, toiling day and night.

It was because Ina was terrified, terrified that she would fade into obscurity, that she would be forgotten by Bailuo.

Though life on Yatun was wonderful, just like what Hailbo had said before he departed on his mission, Ina didn't want this kind of life.

Delicious food, warm housing—all these had once been the dreams of the old Ina.

But now, Ina yearned even more for Bailuo's attention.

Even if it meant plain tea and rice, or living in a dilapidated house, as long as she had Bailuo's care and love, even a cell would not bother Ina.

"Heroic Level, so this is Heroic Level?"

"It's not so great after all!"

Ina naturally uttered a line that would normally belong to a villain; waving her Magic Wand, she summoned skulls wreathed in green flames high into the air.

[Extraordinary: Evil Fallen Evil Soul]

"Bang, bang, bang!"

The skulls dashed towards Black Rose at a terrifying speed, like cannonballs, and upon landing in the garden, the horrifying green Demonic Energy seemed like it was about to devour everything.

"This green flame, no, not flame, it's more like some kind of flowing gas."

Black Rose held a strand of Demonic Energy in her hand, and with her ability, it wasn't enough to injure her.

"But you've used so many moves, your Miracle Power must be seriously depleted, right?"

"Hehehehahahaha."

However, Ina laughed. The words 'seriously depleted' from Black Rose made her laugh manically, "My Demonic Energy is not that kind of garbage ability."

[Extraordinary: Demonic Power Return]

"What?!"

Under Black Rose's shocked gaze, the still-burning flames surged towards Ina.

They penetrated Ina's body, leaving bright green circuit-like cracks on exposed areas such as her neck and wrists.

"The Miracle Power has actually increased?!"

Black Rose could sense that Ina's Demonic Energy had grown even more immense than before, as if it had been recharged.

Having lived for several centuries, Black Rose had never heard of a technique that could restore Miracle Power during battle.

"Hahaha."

Ina's voice sounded pleasant, yet now it was crazed and strange, "Do you see it, do you see? This is my Demonic Energy!"

"Everything destroyed by this energy, its explosive power after burning, it's all a part of me!"

Demonic Energy would melt stone and earth, drawing out the sealed energy within, which would re-energize Ina, allowing her to fight continuously, growing stronger as she fought.

"Until the entire city is ignited by my Demonic Energy," Ina spread her arms, as if to embrace the inferno of Demonic Energy covering the world, "I am the most brilliant in my master's eyes... "

"Bang, bang!"

Suddenly, while Ina boasted about her creation, streaks of crimson light burst from the ground on either side, piercing Ina's heart at remarkable speed, like chains.

"Pfft!"

"Wha, what?"

Ina felt an intense pain in her chest. She looked at Black Rose in disbelief.

"It's over."

Black Rose lifted her hand, the blood-red beam withdrew into the ground, disappearing from sight.

"Agh!"

Ina clutched at her chest, as blood gushed out, bringing immense pain, "You, you bastard..."

"A sneak attack is despicable, but all's fair in war."

"Your Demonic Energy is impressive, but your combat experience is poor, your spells are too straightforward and easy to read."

Black Rose: "I don't know why you've become like this, but sorry, you're too dangerous. Even as a child, I had to make a move."

"Bastard, I will kill you, kill you..."

Enraged, Ina wasn't afraid of death, but because of Black Rose, she had lost the chance to showcase herself before Bailuo.

She didn't want to exit the stage like this, she refused to just bow out.

It wasn't enough, nowhere near enough!

She needed more power, she needed to make Bailuo take notice of her again.

"Damn it, damn it!"

Ina was full of unwillingness, yet she could feel her life force rapidly ebbing away.

That red beam of light, like her death's light, also had an instant-kill effect.

"Ina, are you okay?"

Hailbo appeared before Ina, Ju Nono also came over, casting a healing spell.

"Heart shattered, irreparable."

Ju Nono made a judgment: "Luckily some Passive is having an effect, preventing Ina from instantly losing her life."

"It's no use."

Black Rose: "My Thorns Blood can penetrate a person's heart and inject a lethal poison inside, she can last this long only because of that strange green energy, but this is the limit."

"Nono?"

Yilona was extremely concerned about his companion and asked his sister, "Can you save her?"

"Irreparable."

Ju Nono: "Ina's heart cannot be recovered, but, it can be reformed."

"???"

Black Rose was taken aback; she did not understand the meaning of heart reforming.

Thorns Blood would definitively destroy the opponent's heart, ensuring no chance of recovery. Yet, Ju Nono's spell would directly remove the heart, discard it, then create a brand new one.

If the surrounding blood vessels also had been tainted by the poison, then those vessels would be discarded too; new ones would be created as well.

In the extreme case, Ju Nono could even grant Ina a new body, replacing it entirely.
