Free Web NovelChapter 801: Chapter 87: Hela’s Hidden Identity · The Perfumer Priest and the Incomparable Value of the Incense Burner_4
As Hela slowly placed the Jade Stone and lilac flowers into the perfumer’s incense burner, a mist soon rose from the burner lid, presenting a dreamy light green, akin to the hue of newly sprouted leaves in early spring.
Immediately, a ring of soft yet bright light blossomed around the burner, expanding outwards and illuminating the surrounding area as if a fairyland. As time passed, the light inside the burner grew more dazzling, and the outlines of the Jade Stone and lilac flowers became blurred, merging into a radiant light and shadow. The light and shadow rolled and transformed incessantly, as if nurturing something extraordinary.
Finally, with a crisp "pop" sound, the burner lid suddenly shot up, a green light spouting from inside, aiming directly at the sky.
Su Li’s vision was quite sharp; he clearly saw the gem’s appearance even before it landed, resting his chin on his right hand and asking curiously, "Why does it seem like there’s no change?"
When the gem landed in Vidage’s hand, she too looked down at it. Indeed, the gem’s appearance had little alteration, still resembling a Jade gemstone, the difference being the addition of some lilac tree patterns on it.
Yet Hela looked pleased, "Great, it’s the Jade Annual Rings, I’ve only heard of such a powerful treasure in the legends of our homeland. You can plant it on a piece of land and it will guard the area like a loyal Oak Guard. Or you can treat it as an embodiment of Jilun Mage, capable of releasing Jade Magic · Summon Earth Spirit."
"Is it a powerful guard?" Vidage also smiled, "That’s great! My Gem Pool indeed needs a strong guard to fend off the goblins, goblins, and some human thieves and adventurers who constantly encroach."
With that, Vidage ran to the Gem Pool and planted the Jade Annual Rings.
The gem rapidly sprouted from the ground like a magic creation, growing quickly. Indeed, it was like a summoned entity called forth by Jilun Mage.
Within moments, it fully grew into a large plant guard about three meters tall, with a sturdy stem covered with layers of dry tree bark-like armor and a crown formed by interwoven branches, giving it a majestic appearance.
Its weapon was comprised of a blade wheel with thorns and reversed spikes, which gave it very long-range attack abilities. Even if unable to move, it could launch the blade wheel and shoot storm-like volleys to turn enemies into a sieve when monsters appeared.
Vidage excitedly shouted at it, "Jade Annual Rings Guard, fire a blade wheel as a test."
The next instant, a blade wheel shot towards Su Li! The blade wheel full of reversed spikes cut through the air, carrying a green glow, its power akin to a magic missile!
Selanweir instantly shielded Su Li, "Blazing Blood · Embrace of the Frosty Winter!"
With the eruption of bloodline energy from her body, three ice shields gleaming with icy light emerged instantly, blocking the magic blade wheel.
The moment the blade wheel hit the first ice shield, a sharp, tooth-aching screeching filled the space. The frost-white shield exploded into countless prisms at high speed, each shard shooting in all directions, slicing through numerous trees and flowers. Next came the second shield, still penetrated, emitting sounds akin to glacier collapse, until the third shield fully blocked the magic missile, but it was already covered in cracks.
Aliyana’s eyes widened instantly; this was a shield formed by the bloodline ability of the Ice and Snow Valkyrie!
Even if she was champion level, without using bloodline power, a regular strike wouldn’t necessarily have this destructive strength!
Su Li was even more overjoyed; if Vidage had dozens of Jade Annual Rings in her hand, wouldn’t it easily crush a vast number of invading monsters at defensive strongholds?
