Charlotte suddenly turned her hand around and grabbed Annabell’s hand, the force so great that even Annabell was momentarily stunned.
“Huh? What are you doing?” Annabell lowered her head, looking at Charlotte, whose face was full of determination.
Charlotte unhesitatingly pulled off the emerald jade pendant hanging around her neck, which contained the Elf King’s law, and held it out with both hands to Annabell.
“This is for you!”
Charlotte’s voice was hoarse from the heat, but it carried an unprecedented firmness. “This is the spirit jade pendant my mother left me. I can feel that it can suppress the violent aura of that Ancient God’s ember!”
Annabell looked at the pendant, which emitted a soft green light, somewhat confused. “Why are you giving this to me? This is the token you need to obtain the legacy. If you give it to me, didn’t you come to these ruins for nothing?”
“I don’t care!” Charlotte shook her head violently, tears finally streaming down her cheeks, instantly evaporating in the high heat.
“If you get into danger because of protecting me, I will never forgive myself! Miss Annabell, take it and go subdue that Ancient God’s ember! If it’s you, you can definitely do it!”
She would rather give up this perfect opportunity to obtain the legacy and restore her magic, and offer this perfect chance with both hands.
In Charlotte’s eyes burned a heat even more intense than the surrounding flames.
Annabell sucked in a sharp breath inwardly.
‘Wow, this Heaven’s Chosen Daughter has such high awareness! She’s even offering me a cheat item! No, I’m determined to be a vicious villain, how can I just accept the heroine’s gift and follow the standard route?’
Annabell grabbed the emerald jade pendant, tossed it casually in her hand a couple of times, feeling the cooling aura within that could suppress the flames.
“I see. So I just need to use this thing’s aura to envelop it, right?” A crazy smile curled on Annabell’s lips.
“Yes! Just sneak in close, and then…” Charlotte was about to explain the usage.
“Too slow! And too boring!”
Annabell rudely interrupted Charlotte. Then, she returned the pendant to the bewildered Charlotte.
Next, Annabell’s red and blue dual pupils burst with terrifying light, and the magic power within her body surged like a broken dam into her staff.
“Annabell! What are you doing?!” Charles seemed to sense something and screamed in terror.
“What am I doing? Of course I’m going to cut down that annoying fireball!”
Annabell let out a wild laugh, gripping her staff with both hands and raising it high. The moisture in the surrounding air was instantly drained. With a piercing sound of freezing, a terrifying giant ice sword, forty meters long, formed in midair with the staff as its core!
“Level 7 Ice Magic: Winter’s Sword!”
“You’re crazy!! A crazy person! Stop it!!” The Strategist was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground, and even a smell of urine came from his pants.
Rosalind’s face turned pale as she desperately urged her holy light to escape.
But it was all too late.
Annabell didn’t hesitate. With a wicked grin, the ice sword, carrying an overwhelming and destructive momentum, mercilessly slashed down at the intact Ancient God’s ember in midair!
A deafening, earth-shaking sound erupted, as if the entire Main Hall was about to collapse.
The collision of ice and fire triggered a visible magical explosion. The massive ice sword exploded instantly upon contact with the ember, turning into countless sharp ice crystal storms.
Amid the desperate and horrified screams of the crowd, the intact Ancient God’s ember, which had been in a fragile balance, was forcibly shattered by this terrifying magic!
The originally huge mass of flame split into nine smaller flames of different colors, each slightly smaller but more than ten times more violent than before!
These sub-embers seemed to have gained life, letting out earth-shattering roars, carrying a terrifying high temperature that could destroy the world, and crashing down in all directions like meteors!
The Main Hall instantly turned into a true sea of fire and hell!
“It’s over! Everything is over!” Charles despairingly hugged his head, and a black sub-ember grazed him, instantly turning half his sleeve into ash, his skin burned and torn.
In the midst of this apocalyptic scene, Annabell remained calm and composed.
“What are you daydreaming about? Let’s go!”
She turned around, grabbed the bewildered Charlotte by the waist, and with the girl’s surprised cry, she bossily lifted her into a “princess carry” hold.
“A-Annabell… Miss Annabell?!” Charlotte blushed, tightly holding onto Annabell’s neck, her brain completely unable to think.
“Hold on tight. I won’t be responsible if you fall!”
Annabell smiled at her, surrounded by a frosty ice shield, charging forward through the sea of fire and flying embers.
Her target was clear. She forcefully closed in on one of the cyan flames that originally belonged to Charlotte.
‘Medicine God’s Spirit Flame!’
The heat waves rolled, distorting the surrounding air.
Annabell, holding Charlotte, landed steadily in front of the violently raging “Medicine God’s Spirit Flame.”
Annabell let out a cold snort, took the spirit jade pendant from Charlotte’s hand, and reached out with it.
The soft green light instantly turned into an invisible net, precisely enveloping the spirit flame.
The spirit flame, which had been like a wild horse, miraculously calmed down and hovered obediently in midair.
“Done!” Annabell snapped her fingers in satisfaction.
Charlotte struggled to jump down from Annabell’s arms. The blush on her face had not yet faded. Looking at the successfully suppressed spirit flame, her hands trembled with excitement.
“Great! Miss Annabell, you did it! This spirit flame has the strongest aura. Please absorb it quickly! Your magic power will definitely have a qualitative leap!” Charlotte’s eyes sparkled, genuinely happy for the person she loved.
However, Annabell stood still, arms crossed, her red and blue heterochromatic eyes coldly staring at Charlotte. There was no joy of obtaining a great treasure on her face, but instead a suffocating arrogance and coldness.
“Absorb? Who do you think I am?”
Annabell’s voice was cold as frost, mocking mercilessly: “I am the Chief Student of Sky College and the Heir of the Duke’s Estate! I was born with the Truth Magic Eye, and my magic power is as vast as an ocean! Do I need to rely on absorbing this kind of pathetic flame to improve my strength?”
“But…” Charlotte was stunned.
“No buts.” Annabell stepped forward, pinched Charlotte’s chin, forcing her to look up.
“Listen, Charlotte. I, Annabell, never accept charity from the weak, nor do I need to pick up opportunities others have discarded to strengthen myself. This kind of thing is just a bonus to me, but to a good-for-nothing like you with no magic power, it’s a lifeline.”
