Elemental Light Mage

Chapter 456 Tsubaki's Flowers

Her sneak attack failed, and Chun's face instantly turned ugly. After all, among the four sisters, she was not the type who was good at direct confrontation. So, when her sneak attack failed, she basically lost the opportunity to kill the opponent.

However, Tsubaki was not discouraged. She pretended to be calm and said to the challenger, "Tell me your name, human! Even if you fail in the end, I will remember your name."

Xi Yeming was slightly stunned, then replied with a smile: "My last name is Xi, and my given name is Yeming."

Then, he seemed to want to add something, and continued: "By the way, I don't think I will fail here. After all, I am a person who has the title of the Ten Wills of the Holy Will."

"The Ten Wills of the Holy Will...?"

There was obvious surprise in Chun's voice. From her reaction, it can be seen that she must have seen the "Sacred Will of Compassion" and "Sacred Will of Annihilation" that left clues.

“Hahaha, is this what they call fate?”

Tsubaki laughed softly, seeming a little helpless about this sudden encounter.

"And what is your name?"

Xi Yeming suddenly asked.

Hearing this question, Tsubaki hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to tell the other party without reservation.

"My name is Tsubaki."

Her voice was soft, but it carried an indescribable firmness.

"Tsubaki?"

Xi Yeming thought of something and wondered if she was the only master of this magic trial. After all, when talking about Chun, one would easily think of the word "spring", and if one's thinking was more divergent, one could think of the four seasons of the year.

Tsubaki added: "But I'm telling you this not because there's a possibility of peaceful coexistence between us, but because I'm kindhearted and can't bear to see you still be ignorant of your enemies after your failure."

"Really? Then I should thank you?"

"You can say as many polite words as you want. After all, you won't have another chance after you're expelled!"

Chun rushed towards Xi Yeming with a grim smile and swung his fists at the enemy.

"Such a primitive method of attack?"

Even though Xi Yeming had a plan in mind, he still had to be careful with such a simple attack. He turned sideways to avoid Chun's punch.

"That's it?"

"really?"

The corners of Chun's mouth turned up into a sly smile.

A suffocating tightness wrapped around Xi Yeming's neck, as if a python was tied around his throat.

"Varied……?"

Without Xi Yeming noticing at all, the opponent's attack hit him. He subconsciously grabbed the "python" that was strangling his neck.

Xi Yeming was quite shocked by the touch which was far different from that of a python. The action of tearing off the restraints was not more difficult than he had imagined. He just exerted force and the "existence" that was strangling his neck was torn off easily.

A lush green vine was reflected in Xi Yeming's eyes, and the green vine was dotted with blooming flowers.

"flower?"

Before Xiyeming could figure out the connection, his body lost strength as if he had suffered a heavy blow and he fell to the ground.

"This is--"

Xi Yeming lost his ability to move and his entire body was paralyzed.

"What a pity. The pollen of that flower can paralyze creatures that are inhaled. It seems that you can't avoid it?"

A winner's smile appeared on Chun's face, and she believed that she had defeated Xi Yeming.

Suddenly, Xi Yeming's fingers moved, and Chun immediately lost her smile.

It took her a few seconds to put away her strange expression.

"You didn't inhale the usual amount? It's not a big problem," Tsubaki said confidently. "You can't do anything with your current state. What else can you do?"

Xi Yeming, who was unable to speak, made a crackling sound deep in his throat, trying to force his way through the paralysis.

"Don't waste your efforts."

Chun looked at Xi Yeming, who was kneeling on the ground, expressionlessly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a cruel smile.

She slowly stretched out her hand, as if she was enjoying the victory at this moment, ready to let Xi Yeming suffer the same tragic fate as the other losers.

Just as Chun's fingers were about to touch Xi Yeming, a powerful force suddenly emerged. Purple-blue flames suddenly burst out from Xi Yeming's body like ignited fireworks, instantly enveloping him in blazing flames.

The flames burned extremely fiercely, forming an indestructible barrier that forcibly blocked Tsubaki's poisonous hands.

"ha--?"

Tsubaki stared at the scene in front of him in amazement and cried out in disbelief.

“Uhhhhhhhhh——!”

Xi Yeming's screams of pain were heard from the flames, and the sound echoed in the raging flames, making people shudder.

In the blink of an eye, the flames suddenly dispersed as if by magic. Xi Yeming stood in front of Chun again without any damage, and there was not even a trace of being burned on his body.

"This, how is this possible?"

Tsubaki's eyes widened, her face full of fear and confusion, and she involuntarily took a few steps back, "Didn't you inhale the paralyzing pollen?"

"That's a pity."

Xi Yeming had a mocking smile on his face and said in the same tone as Chun.

"I have a good group of seniors who taught me how to deal with the current situation."

His voice was calm and firm, and he seemed to be unfazed by what he had just experienced.

"Impossible! Did you use fire magic to heat your blood? That would...!"

Before Chun finished her words, she was horrified to see blood oozing from Xi Yeming's seven orifices. The blood flowed down his cheeks, forming a sharp contrast with his already pale face, looking extremely terrifying.

"what!"

Chun screamed in fear, her body shaking uncontrollably, completely terrified by the horrific sight before her. This girl, who had never had contact with anyone for years, obviously could not bear such a shock.

"How dare you escape paralysis with such a suicidal approach!?"

"Need I say more?" Xi Yeming took a step forward. "I have a reason that I cannot give in to. It is something more important than my life."

The two looked at each other, and Chun had long lost her original composure and calmness. She saw something in Xi Yeming that was difficult to look at, yet unspeakable.

It seems fearless, mixed with a hint of tenderness and persistence.

"Don't just come over here casually!"

In a panic, Chun punched the floor with both fists, and the flat bricks twisted and transformed into two flower buds, which then blossomed into carnivorous plants and attacked Xi Yeming.

"I see. Is this magic that can transform inorganic matter into flowers?"

Xi Yeming realized where the flower vine that was plotting against him came from, and it was all due to Chun's magic.

"But this kind of trick can't stop me!"

The fire element condensed into an illusory blade in Xi Yeming's hand. As the blade rose and fell, the two carnivorous plants became nutrients for the floor.
