Bai Ye, lying on the ground, felt even more regretful than Haikong.
Only a little more, and she could have directly captured Felicia.
But now Seraphina had arrived on the battlefield, so Bai Ye’s goal shifted from “capture Felicia” to “escape this place alive.”
Her strength was only at the Pseudo-Shang level, while Seraphina was among the strongest within the Shang level.
The gap was too large—Bai Ye didn’t even think she could win; escaping would be a success.
The only silver lining was that the magical artifact hadn’t been damaged, and the concealment spell was still active. Thus, Seraphina didn’t know that the attacker in black was Bai Ye.
At least that prevented a complete falling out.
“I can’t wait to tear you apart,” Seraphina said, holding Thunder Leap. She teleported in front of Bai Ye and swung her sword.
No time to dodge—she had to withstand it head-on!
Bai Ye reacted instantly, golden light flaring around her: a high-tier defensive spell.
But would defense be enough against Seraphina’s attack?
The answer came in the next moment.
Boom!
The earth trembled under the force of Seraphina’s strike. Bai Ye was sent flying again, her body plowing a long trench.
The golden light around Bai Ye shattered. Seraphina’s blow nearly knocked Bai Ye’s brainwaves out.
“Cough, cough, cough!” Bai Ye managed to stand, noticing that her black robe had suffered some damage.
As a magical artifact, the robe’s defense was unquestionably powerful, yet it had been slightly damaged by just one sword strike from Seraphina.
If Seraphina used a killing move, the robe might break apart, and the concealment spell’s effectiveness would greatly diminish.
The only option now was to flee.
“I’ll concede this time, but next time we meet—”
“Next time?! You dare think there’ll be a next time?!” Seraphina didn’t let Bai Ye finish her threat; she instantly cast a spell.
From the aura, this was definitely a killing move!
“Thunderclap.”
Seraphina transformed into a bolt of lightning, approaching Bai Ye at the fastest speed possible, and swung her sword.
Bai Ye, completely defenseless under Seraphina’s all-out attack, was cleaved in two. Her consciousness began to fade.
‘It seems I can only…’
Bai Ye raised her hand, green light enveloping her body, forcibly reattaching the severed upper half to the lower half standing on the ground.
A fatal wound was healed in an instant.
Seraphina narrowed her eyes, looking at the unharmed Bai Ye.
That attack had definitely been fatal, yet the other party recovered in a flash.
This was beyond the reach of healing magic; even high-level healing or recovery potions couldn’t mend a fatal wound instantly.
There was only one possibility…
“Life magic?”
“No comment,” Bai Ye replied.
“Then I’ll take that as a yes.” Seraphina raised her sword. “But even life magic has its limits, right? With your strength, how many times can you recover from an injury like that?”
Bai Ye remained silent.
For a Pseudo-Shang to heal a fatal wound consumed a lot of energy. She could manage about five or six times; after that, another fatal injury would truly kill her.
“Since you won’t say, let me find out!” Seraphina turned into lightning, her sword piercing Bai Ye’s heart.
She intended to slash upward and split Bai Ye’s head in two, but Bai Ye used magic to blast herself away, avoiding Seraphina’s pursuit.
Even with her heart pierced, life magic could quickly restore it.
But Bai Ye wasn’t relieved; instead, she grew more tense.
Seraphina’s attacks might shred the concealment artifact, and she could even die here.
“What a nuisance…”
“Once you’re dead, there’ll be no nuisance.” Seraphina descended from above.
Bai Ye used spatial teleportation to flee, while Seraphina’s strike left the ground cracked like a spiderweb.
Felicia had long since run far away, not wanting to be caught in this level of battle and die without knowing how.
But she didn’t dare to actually flee, since obviously the black-clad figure was no match for Seraphina. If Seraphina dealt with the opponent and returned to find Felicia gone…
The thought was too terrifying to imagine.
“The world knows life magic is poor for combat, but it excels at buying time.”
“Rise!”
Bai Ye raised her hands, and the ground trembled as if something was about to burst from the earth.
The next moment, the ground cracked open. Giant plants over a hundred meters tall broke through the soil—not just one, but eight in total.
Vines, Venus flytraps, man-eating flowers… When these ordinary plants were empowered by life magic, they became deadly weapons on the battlefield.
Thick vines rose high and slammed down with a roaring wind, but in an instant, Seraphina cut them down.
Half of the vine fell to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust and toppling countless trees.
Meanwhile, a man-eating flower swallowed Seraphina whole, not aiming to kill her but merely to buy time.
In less than a minute, Seraphina had eliminated all these life-magic-enforced giant plants.
Bai Ye was shocked. She knew Seraphina was powerful, but she hadn’t expected her to be this formidable.
She hadn’t even gotten far yet; Seraphina could still catch up.
“Life Cage!”
Bai Ye cast another spell to buy more time.
The destroyed giant plants turned into streams of green light, the purest life mana. The immense life mana condensed into a cage, trapping Seraphina.
Seraphina punched it, and cracks appeared. After a few more punches, the cage shattered completely.
But Bai Ye had achieved her goal. Using the life cage, she bought precious time to escape and fled the area.
…
Seraphina stood still, lost in thought.
Such skilled life magic reminded her of someone.
Bai Ye.
Could it be her?
Seraphina didn’t think the black-clad figure was Bai Ye, because Bai Ye had previously healed Felicia and had no feud with her.
Moreover, Bai Ye wasn’t the only one who could use life magic; almost all members of the Church of Life could.
But then why would the Church of Life target Felicia?
Seraphina ultimately couldn’t figure it out, so she set the matter aside and approached Felicia, who was still watching.
“…Hi~” After a moment of silence, Felicia greeted Seraphina first to ease the awkwardness.
“Hmph.” Seraphina crossed her arms. “Care to explain why you’re here?”
“I… I… I just ate too much and decided to take a walk! And somehow ended up here. I absolutely wasn’t trying to run away, no, no, no!” Felicia waved her hands frantically.
“I don’t want to hear it. Come back with me.” Seraphina grabbed Felicia by the back of the neck and teleported away.
