While she was still charging, Anna had already cast two or three strange magic halos on Mary.
Confusion!
Deceleration!
One could confuse the target's mind, making it difficult for her to respond in time. The other could slow down the target's body, reducing their speed by half. These two simple curse-type spells, if the target had no way to dispel or dispel them, their strength would be reduced by more than 30%.
But that wasn't the end of it. Following Anna's shout, a strange green rune lit up in the palms of her outstretched palms. Immediately, her hands turned into countless twisted green vines from her elbows, whipping towards Mary who was standing in place with a whistling wind.
Contract Spirit Summon.
However, Anna's Contract Spirit Summon was a little special. She could fuse part of her body with the summoned Contract Spirit, thus gaining some unimaginable combat ability.
Pa pa …
The powerful green vine whips lashed on the hard stone floor, immediately creating two large spiderweb-like cracks on the ground. In the midst of the flying gravel, Mary's figure turned into a series of afterimages, appearing beside Anna in an instant.
Mary's ghost-like speed gave Anna a scare.
This was the afterimage that was formed because of the deceleration spell. If not for the deceleration spell, wouldn't she not be able to see the afterimage? Anna could not help but hate her impulsiveness when she thought about how she had to face an opponent with super speed.
Damn it, I shouldn't have fought such an opponent in close combat!
Anna could not retract her vine whips in time. With a shout, a dazzling green halo quickly spread along her body, quickly condensing into a thorny armor outside her full body. After completing the defense of her body, Anna used all her strength to protect her head with her vine whips, whipping the afterimages that appeared in front of her into pieces.
Puff puff puff …
Although Anna's defense was impenetrable, the thorny armor outside her body continued to ripple. The vine armor on her chest and ribs cracked, and a few crisscrossing scratches appeared on her body. Her left hand that had turned into a vine whip was continuously cut by her opponent's finger blades, and a long section of it was broken. Although green liquid flowed out from the wound, Anna was still in so much pain that she kept groaning and retreating.
Under Anna's frenzied urging, a new vine whip sprung out once again, turning into a sky full of whip shadows, madly lashing at every possible enemy that appeared in her sight.
She had no idea where the enemy's main body was. All she could capture was the strange afterimage left behind by the other party as he rapidly weaved through the air.
Obviously, this Anna was not proficient in close combat. She only relied on the summoned spirit to possess a certain level of close combat ability. But when her weak fighting ability met a Red Shirt Mary who could fight in close combat, she was destined to be in for a tragedy!
Although her crazily brandishing vine whips couldn't catch Mary's body, and her close-fitting vine armor couldn't completely block Mary's finger blade attacks, it still played a big role. At the very least, under her frenzied attacks, Mary was unable to recklessly attack her body's external defenses. Although it would cause some damage to her from time to time, it was difficult for it to reach the level of a fatal blow.
Behind them, at the end of the tunnel that was blocked by countless mud and gravel, a series of earth-shattering explosions suddenly rang out. Evidently, the black-robed Quasi Sorcerer who had been lured to the other side of the tunnel had noticed something was wrong behind him, and was madly attacking the tunnel with some sort of method.
The violent witchcraft attack shook the entire tunnel, causing the entire tunnel to rumble. Large amounts of sand, stones, and mud fell down from the top of the tunnel. Countless rock peaks and stalactites were suddenly broken, falling down in all directions, drowning the entire battlefield in a cloud of suffocating stone dust.
If the black-robed Quasi Sorcerer was given enough time, he might really be able to blast open the rock wall and create a temporary tunnel.
Precisely because she expected that reinforcements would soon arrive, Anna only defended and did not attack. No matter how much Mary scratched her body, she continued to attack without a care in the world.
None of these high-level Apprentices were easy to deal with.
Although their witchcraft had not reached the level where they could be used extravagantly, they had covered all aspects of attack, defense, harassment, and self-enhancement. This made it difficult for outsiders to detect their weaknesses and quickly defeat them.
From the battle situation between Anna and Mary, it was obvious that Anna's battle prowess was weaker than the swift and ferocious Mary's. However, it was not easy for Mary to end the battle quickly. At the very least, she would not be able to do so without paying a certain price!
Seeing the countless cracks on the rock wall behind her, which seemed to be on the verge of collapse, Red Robed Mary finally gave up on the idea of killing Anna by herself.
"Bastard, don't just hide at the side and watch. Come and help!"
Mary dodged the vine whips coming from her left and right. She waved her hands continuously, leaving two deep wounds on Anna's body. However, she did not have the time to continue attacking, and could only quickly dodge the vine whips that came back at her. When she broke through Anna's defenses again and approached her body, the two wounds had already been covered by the thorny vines.
After this happened again and again, Mary finally could not take it anymore and cried out.
Anna's face turned pale.
One Red Robed Mary was already so difficult to deal with. If another helper came, she would probably be doomed.
Thinking of this, Anna did not dare to be careless. She bit off half of her tongue and spat out copious amounts of blood. Her entire body suddenly grew taller.
If Anna's hands had only transformed into green vine whips before, then at this moment, her entire body began to swell. Most of her skin was torn apart, revealing countless green vines that were randomly digging around.
After forcefully raising the level of the Contract Spirit, Anna's entire body had turned into a terrifying man-eating flower. Beneath her feet were forked green roots, her hands were green vine whips, and her body was a stem covered in thorns. Her head, on the other hand, did not change and was wrapped in countless large petals. There were no longer any traces of a human on her body.
After becoming a violent carnivorous plant, the 'Whipper', all the vital organs that Anna had as a human had disappeared. As long as she could hold on in time until Gary arrived, the second transformation of the Contract Spirit would be worth it.
Grimm, who had been watching the battle from the shadows, did not dare to be careless. He finally decided to intervene in the battle between the two high-level Lehrlings.
With a slight tremor, the sturdy stone slabs under Anna's feet suddenly turned into a muddy and slippery swamp trap. Before Anna could scream and escape from the area, a terrifying giant figure appeared beside her and bit down on her thick and tough waist.
Anna let out an ear-piercing shriek in pain. She waved her two thick and long vine whips in the air, whipping the earth armor on the demon crocodile's body into pieces. The head that was hidden in the layers of petals opened its mouth and spat out a ball of sticky and smelly green acid.
The acid splashed onto the aborigine hunter on the back of the demon crocodile, instantly corroding its upper limbs and head. If not for the aborigine hunter's control crystal in its chest, it would have been completely destroyed by that attack.
Grimm hid in the shadows far away and could not help but feel a lingering fear.
A battle between high-level Lehrlings was not something a junior Lehrling like him could easily participate in. If he had not been smart enough to control the demon crocodile hunter to attack, he would have been killed as well. If he had been on the back of the demon crocodile just now, that attack would have probably killed him as well.
He had not learned any defensive spells yet, so he did not have any way to escape from the vengeful attack of a high-level Lehrling.
However, Grimm's demon crocodile hunter only needed to restrain Anna's attack for a moment, and it was enough to turn the situation around.
Before Anna could save herself from the demon crocodile's mouth, Mary's attack was already upon her.
* Tss tss tss … *
A series of sounds of flesh being pierced could be heard. Mary's entire body was crouched near Anna's open petal head. She used her finger blades to cut open the tough skin and pierced her long fangs into the flesh where the head and stem met.
The rapid sucking caused Anna to go berserk. She waved her arms continuously, whipping Mary's back into a bloody mess. However, she could not stop a vampire from crazily sucking.
As a large amount of essence blood was lost, the strength of Anna's whipping became weaker. Finally, her arms drooped down powerlessly, and all the stems and flowers on her body began to rapidly wither. Her head, which was hidden among the petals, also closed her eyes sadly.
As her life rapidly faded, Anna could no longer maintain her transformation. Her body continuously withered and changed shape, returning to her human form. However, the moment her life completely withered, the demon crocodile hunter opened its mouth under Grimm's command and swallowed Anna's corpse and Mary into its stomach. It then turned around and quickly sank into the ground with Grimm.
As soon as they disappeared, a deafening explosion sounded from the cliff in the distance. A large hole was blasted open, and a black-robed Quasi Sorcerer wrapped in a green glowing hurricane rushed out.
The black-robed Quasi Sorcerer Gary could not help but roar angrily as he looked at the mess on the ground and smelled the fishy green liquid that had splattered all over the battlefield.
He did not feel any pain for Anna's death. He was just angry that the enemy had used such a simple strategy to lure the tiger away from the mountain and kill his comrade right in front of his eyes. This … This was the greatest insult to him!
"You bastards, come out and fight me if you have the guts! Damn it, I've already memorized your aura. Don't let me see you again. I … "
