Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor

Chapter 692 - 184: Hell Bird vs. Yan (Part 2)

Among the four members of the Third Team, Li Xinyue was the most miserable. Earlier, in desire to look attractive, she wore revealing clothing, which now made her the main target of the bird swarm’s attack.

Blood and flesh blurred on her snow-white skin instantly.

"Don’t come over, go away!" Li Xinyue, intensely concerned with her looks, only knew to frantically wave her Magic Wand, continuously casting magic spells.

"Xinyue, calm down," Huang Fushi watched anxiously from the side.

If Li Xinyue depleted all her Magic Power at once, there would be trouble later on.

It must be known that the use of Magic Potions was strictly forbidden in the annual competition.

Fortunately, at this moment, the previously thin mist suddenly became much denser.

The Arena was immediately engulfed in fog, and the birds’ attack was significantly reduced due to the obstructed view.

Taking advantage of the intensified fog at this moment, the four in the Arena finally had a breather.

Yan frowned as well; that Hell Bird truly lived up to its reputation.

Although it was uncertain whether the hundreds or thousands of birds were real or illusory, if this continued, both in terms of Magic Power and mentally, all four of them were on the brink of collapse.

"Yan, are you okay?" a concerned voice came from not far away.

"It’s nothing serious, just a minor injury," Yan checked her hands, which were injured but protected by a Magic Robe...

Yan observed her injuries and noticed several deep wounds.

"Huh?" Yan looked quizzically at the wound in her hand.

Yan was different from ordinary people; because she had the Shennong Medical Bracelet, general injuries could heal within 15 minutes as long as they didn’t affect her flesh and bones.

It was just a few peck marks; they shouldn’t have left such severe wounds normally.

Could it be... Yan’s dark eyes darkened, were the birds and these wounds all just illusions?

Demon Beasts were different from the Human Clan; they had unique traits in magic.

Some Demon Beasts even specialized in Illusion Techniques.

It was because Yan had previously fought with the Night Charm Queen that she was able to see through the illusion so quickly.

"Huang, don’t panic, try to conserve your magic, focus on hiding, and let those two idiots from Lion Heart make a fuss," after confirming that the Hell Bird’s group attack was merely an illusion, Yan calmed down slightly.

However, this drag-on couldn’t continue.

The third contest was delayed longer than the first two combined because of the Hell Bird’s special magic.

To win this contest, they had to see through the illusion and locate the real Hell Bird.

Yan squinted her eyes, her Shennong’s Eyes fixed on the countless bird shadows in the fog.

It was certain; the Hell Bird’s magic was extraordinary, even she, with Shennong’s Eyes, had difficulty distinguishing the reality.

There had to be another way.

Yan took a deep breath and contemplated a strategy in her heart.

Suddenly, she remembered something.

Indeed, the Dark Gold Master had previously said that whether it was a Mage or a Demon Beast using magic, there must be traces to follow.

"As long as it’s a Demon Beast, there will be a Magic Soul, even if it uses an Illusion Technique, only the Hell Bird with Magic Power fluctuating around it is the real Hell Bird," Yan understood suddenly.

She closed her eyes and employed the Heavenly Human Meditation taught by the Dark Gold Master.

The surrounding mist disappeared, and the birds’ cries gradually faded away.

Around Yan, there was nothing but empty space.

Yan saw a magic fluctuation.

Although faint, in the dense flock of birds in the sky, there was only one magic fluctuation.

That was it.

Yan quickly gripped the Magic Wand in his hand and his eyes suddenly shot open.

Holding the Magic Wand in reverse grip, his arms tensed to gather strength,

Yan started chanting, using the Magic Wand as an arrow, he executed the Sealing Demon Arrow Technique.

The thick fog obscured vision, partially blinding the Hell Bird as well.

By the time it realized the danger, the Mystery Bone Wand had already struck its chest.

The Hell Bird fell from the sky.

It was at this very moment that the fog in the Arena also began to disperse.

The audience witnessed the Hell Bird let out a mournful screech, falling from the sky powerless.

In its chest was a Magic Wand, not much larger than a thumb.

This was... who could tell them what exactly had happened?

No one even knew who had launched that Magic Wand.

Looking around the Arena, only Yan’s hand was missing a Magic Wand.

The other three in the Arena still had faces filled with lingering fear.

The Hell Bird was dead, and the illusionary damage inflicted upon them vanished as well.

The two members of Lion Heart, due to their earlier resistance, had their previously meticulous appearances completely ruined.

Li Xinyue and Huang Fushi, upon seeing that it was Yan who had killed the Hell Bird, had faces as black as the bottom of a pot.

Referee Huo Si’s mouth twitched, his face showing a look of astonishment.

Huo Si happened to be one of the few in the Arena who knew of the Hell Bird’s Illusion Technique.

He hurried forward to check and found the Hell Bird had breathed its last, the Magic Wand still bearing some effect of the Sealing Demon.

Huo Si pulled out the Magic Wand, his expression strange.

He then approached the four competitors, announcing to the entire Arena, "The third match, Flame Lion Team wins!"

The contest had lasted long, but its conclusion came exceptionally quick.

The spectators had not expected that the Hell Bird, seemingly formidable with not a single flaw, would be shot dead by a mere Magic Wand.

After the audience regained their composure, they immediately started discussing fervently.

"Oh dear, Left Minister surely took a loss on this one, he bet 5,000 gold coins on that Hell Bird," said the Left Minister with a displeased face.

"Your Excellency the Left Minister is wealthy beyond measure; it’s just a loss of 5,000 gold coins. There are more exciting battles to come," Tianyidong chuckled.

In a corner of the ordinary seating area of the Arena, the Fifth Main Summoner and Ninth Summoner also witnessed the entire process of this match.

Although invited by Tianyidong, the Ninth Summoner didn’t sit in the VIP seats but chose seats in the back row, so no one noticed that two important figures of the Summoning Court were sitting in the ordinary seating area.

"Unexpected, that a mere Magic Master could see through the Hell Bird’s illusions," remarked the Fifth Main Summoner, full of emotion.

While the Hell Bird was not among the most formidable Demon Beasts,

its illusionary abilities were indeed formidable.

Even an Intermediate Summoner of the Summoning Court would suffer at the hands of the Hell Bird’s illusions.

"Seeing through illusions does not require highly sophisticated magic, what’s needed is only a steadfast heart," the Ninth Summoner’s gaze flickered, fixed on Yan as he prepared to leave the Arena.

Is it her?

The four returned to the dressing room.

"You little girl, you’re so impressive, how did you know that one was the real Hell Bird?"

No sooner had they walked into the dressing room than Yan was surrounded by the remaining contestants.

With the news of the losses in the first and second matches, for the third match to see the Flame Lion Team preserving all four members and winning was like a shot in the arm for the other Dark Beasts.
