After Max and Tanya, peace returned to the courtyard.
The trial participants took turns to perform martial arts, and no conflicts occurred.
Until Nora came on the scene.
Nora, a late sixth-stage trialist, was drawn first.
Allen was drawn to play second.
Last on the list was Pamela.
However, Cynthia, the rag doll in Nora's arms, disrupted the order of appearance with just one sentence.
"Mr. Mirui, I want to challenge you!"
The talking doll immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Little guy, are you representing yourself or Nora?"
The housekeeper asked the doll calmly.
"On behalf of myself and my mother!"
Cynthia straightened her puffy little face and answered seriously.
"I am my mother's daughter and also my mother's magical pet!"
"A warlock with a familiar can't be considered as outnumbered, right?"
"It really doesn't count." Mi Rui pulled the corner of his mouth, "Little ghost, why doesn't your mother speak?"
"Ah, because she is so shy!"
The rag doll spread his hands and sighed, with a look of disappointment on his face.
Nora, who was silent, suddenly reached out and pinched the doll's face.
“Ouch!!”
Cynthia whined and rubbed her face, not daring to complain anymore.
"Are you and your daughter going to challenge Alan or Pamela?"
Mr. Mi Rui raised a question that everyone is concerned about.
Everyone has heard that Nora's brother Marvin was killed by Alan and Pamela in the secret mushroom garden two years ago.
Nora's father, in revenge for his son, chased after Alan, but was killed by the White Tiger Martial Master instead.
The deaths of his father and brother are directly or indirectly related to Allen.
Logically speaking, Nora's most hated enemy should be Allen.
So, will she challenge Allen?
The facts do not match most people's speculation.
"My mother and I decided to challenge...Pamela!"
Cynthia's childish yet firm voice echoed in the empty courtyard.
"Haha... I knew this day would come."
Pamela sneered, stood up and walked to the center of the courtyard.
"Are you guys fighting to the death, or are you just going to call it a day?"
"Since we are going to fight, let's decide whether to live or die, that will be exciting enough!"
Pamela said proudly.
Nora nodded, seeming to approve Pamela's proposal.
However, at this moment, the rag doll in his arms suddenly raised his hand.
"Hey! There's no need to fight to the death, just stop at the right time!"
Pamela frowned, stared coldly at the rag doll, and asked Nora: "Who has the final say between you and this talkative little thing?"
"Of course I have the final say!" Cynthia said confidently, "Golden-haired villain, can't you see? I am the head of the family!"
A hint of displeasure flashed across Nora's pretty, yet slightly stiff face.
Then his expression became blank again, as if he was wearing a mask.
"I don't care, it's up to you." Pamela said lightly.
"So, both parties agree to a friendly exchange, right?"
Mr. Mi Rui confirmed again.
"That's right! Friendly communication, just enough!"
Cynthia rushed to express her opinion.
Nora pinched her face again to express her displeasure.
However, Cynthia's decision was not overruled.
"Okay, now you can start sparring."
Mr. Mi Rui stepped aside.
At the same time, Pamela floated into the air, and violent airflow suddenly erupted from her body!
The courtyard was in chaos, with flying sand and rocks, as if a tornado had passed through.
When the dust settled and the sky cleared, the two talented girls on the field had turned into their ancestral forms.
Pamela, who looks like a female djinni.
But compared with the real Wind Giant, it is taller and more beautiful.
The upper body is similar to Tanya's ancestral form, also a female giant wearing silver armor, highlighting the characteristics of the Silver Titan.
Below the waist, it transformed into a roaring blood-red storm.
The three temperaments of a giant, a Titan and a demon from the abyss blend together in her, leaving people with an impression that is both terrifying and stunning!
Nora, on the other side, didn't seem to have changed much at first glance.
Her figure is still so petite and delicate.
With her slightly childish pink and tender face and her long, black and shiny hair with bangs, she looks like a pitiful little girl no matter how you look at her.
Nora still held her beloved doll.
The snow-white cloak was blown by the storm blowing from the opposite direction.
A thick blood-red mist wafted from the hem of the cloak.
It was only then that the onlookers noticed...
The body of this little girl hidden under the cloak has turned into a strange blood mist, and countless mist-like tentacles have extended out.
Behind Nora, the slowly rotating Rakshasa blood wheel looked like a scarlet full moon.
As for the elephant-man characteristics of the Ganesha family, there was no trace of them on her.
Allen stood on the sidelines, his brows slightly furrowed.
Pamela and Nora's atavistic forms do not show obvious angelic features.
Alan guessed that it was only a short time since the two of them seized the angel blood and they had not yet had time to fully absorb and integrate it.
In other words, Pamela and Nora have not yet reached their respective peaks.
Even so, the aura emitted by the two talented girls is already powerful enough to far exceed their ranks!
On the other side of the courtyard, housekeeper Mi Rui was also observing Pamela and Nora.
The eyes carved from gemstones showed an interest.
The butler opened the roster and wrote a note next to the names of the two talented girls:
"The blood of the Holy Demon has been initially integrated, and it is suspected to have the qualifications to be a candidate for the royal family. It remains to be seen!"
In the courtyard.
The two people who had been confronting each other for a long time finally broke the deadlock.
Pamela took the lead and summoned the Silver Titan Hammer.
Nora's sleepy fox eyes suddenly flashed with a gleam of brilliance!
At the same time that Pamela threw the war hammer, a small knife that looked like it was carved from ivory appeared in her palm, and she made the starting posture of the "sword drawing technique".
Snap!
With a flash of lightning, the Titan's hammer came through the air!
At the same time, Nora suddenly drew her sword and slashed horizontally!
Swish!
The knife flashed and the space was torn apart!
clang!
The Silver Titan's Hammer was unexpectedly intercepted by Nora's "Sky Slash".
A strange blush suddenly appeared on Nora's pale face.
With his left hand, he lifted up his cloak, revealing a delicate body shrouded in blood mist, vaguely visible.
Even through a layer of blood mist, Alan could still feel her skin was crystal white, delicate and flawless, as if it was shrouded in a layer of bright moonlight.
However, in the next moment...
Around this flawless jade-like body, countless pale ghost fires lit up, like eyes filled with resentment.
Nora's thin, scarlet lips trembled slightly, as if she was chanting a spell to drive away the souls of the dead.
The numerous will-o'-the-wisp fires that were nurtured in the body and refined with the secret method of necromancy responded to the mistress's order and flew out like a swarm of bees.
Numerous will-o'-the-wisp fires surrounded Pamela and drowned her in a pale sea of ​​the dead.
It devoured magic power and life essence crazily, while uttering shrill cries, each one so heart-wrenching that it made it difficult for Pamela to maintain her concentration in casting the spell.
Pamela, who was in trouble, changed her form.
The blood-red storm suddenly turned into a dazzling golden cloud!
The evil aura of the abyss was replaced by the holy light of heaven, which instantly illuminated the entire courtyard.
Under Nora's pressure, Pamela finally unleashed the power of the four-winged angel.
Shining Cloud Storm, the Shining Cloud Angel's iconic combat form.
The golden cloud radiates magical light, causing light damage to all targets it touches.
The Shining Cloud Storm also comes with the "Daylight Spell", "Exile Spell" and "Soul Calming Spell", which are specifically designed to restrain all kinds of evil spirits and disperse undead creatures including ethereal souls!
Nora's will-o'-the-wisp is precisely a kind of incorporeal undead spirit.
The bright clouds are shining, and the evil spirits are retreating!
Nora raised her pale little face when she saw this.
It's like feeling the scorching sun.
Even though it caused her more pain than enjoyment.
The sleepy fox eyes opened a little wider.
Gray sand like smoke and fog drifted away from between her fingers.
The dust flew against the wind and in a blink of an eye penetrated into the bright cloud of Pamela's incarnation, condensing into black spots.
Like sunspots.
Suddenly, an angry scream was heard from the depths of the brilliant cloud storm!
Alan couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body.
In his memory, the last time Pamela lost control of her emotions and screamed hysterically was in the mushroom garden when he rejected her sexual advances, which deeply hurt her self-esteem.
Witnessing Pamela's rage again, Alan was worried and curious.
What on earth had Nora done to her to cause her to lose control of her emotions on the spot?
Pamela's rage erupted in an intuitive way.
The brilliant and glorious storm clouds were tinged with blood.
That was the fusion of the abyss magic and the Titan's thunder, transforming into countless blood-red lightning bolts, brewing inside the brilliant cloud storm.
Shining Cloud Storm + Abyssal Storm + Titan's Thunder
The three powers from angels, demons and Titans were forcibly merged by the mad Pamela and bombarded Nora all at once!
In an instant, the sky and the earth changed color!
The protective barrier of Origin City is activated!
A circle of golden light wall rose in the courtyard, isolating the onlookers from the violent battlefield.
Nora, in the center of the storm, is like a lone boat in the raging sea, drifting in the storm.
At the moment of overturning, Nora suddenly threw away the rag doll in her arms.
The next second, the girl's petite body was smashed to pieces by the raging thunder, leaving no trace of her body!
The rag doll, infused with all of Nora's magic power, teleported to the outskirts of the courtyard.
The moment it hit the ground, it exploded and cotton wool flew all over the sky!
Then, a circle of silver light that looked like moonlight rose from the wreckage of the rag doll.
Alan raised his eyebrows, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Behind the light curtain, the naked figure of the girl can be vaguely seen.
That was Nora's body, being reborn in the moonlight.
The rag doll, acting as Nora's stand-in, helped her block a fatal attack.
A tiny ghost floated out from the broken cotton wool.
The blurred body outline looks like a newborn baby.
Alan guessed that it was the ghost body of the ghost baby Cynthia.
Nora, who was naked, picked up the rag doll, which was only covered with a layer of cloth and looked shriveled and pitiful.
He took out a brand new white cloak from the storage bag sewn on the doll's chest, put it on, and walked out into the moonlight.
The little ghost, floating on its mother's shoulder, gestured eagerly at Mr. Mi Rui.
Without the doll that possessed her, Cynthia was unable to speak.
Separated by a barrier, telepathy was blocked, and she could only communicate with the butler in this clumsy way.
Mr. Mi Rui pushed the bridge of his glasses, looking puzzled.
Although the old man was knowledgeable, he had never communicated with ghosts using sign language and could not understand what Cynthia wanted to express.
Nora turned to face Miri and opened her small cherry lips.
"I give up."
A voice as delicate as that of a yellow warbler, with a timid tremor, floated out of her mouth.
This was the first time that Alan, and everyone present, heard Nora speak.
It turns out that she is not mute.
The butler snapped his fingers, removed the protective barrier, walked into the courtyard, and announced that Pamela had won.
Pamela, the winner, did not look happy.
After he regained his ancestral form, he hurriedly lowered his head and covered his face.
But it was too late.
There were cries of surprise from all around the courtyard.
From the quick glance just now, people had seen that Pamela's image was different from before.
From a beautiful girl , to a beautiful young woman.
Time has eliminated the arrogant and manic temperament of this young lady and added a graceful, intellectual and mature charm to her.
In the eyes of most people, the young woman Pamela is more charming than the young lady.
Most of the people exclaimed out of amazement.
Pamela didn't take that as a compliment.
The sudden aging and people's strange looks made her feel deeply humiliated.
He covered his face with his hands, said nothing, and turned and walked out of the field.
Alan looked at her lonely back and felt a pang of pain in his heart.
He had every reason to gloat over Pamela's misfortune.
After all, this female bully had bullied him a lot in the past!
But somehow, Alan couldn't help but feel sympathy for Pamela.
After some self-reflection, I realized that perhaps my biggest weakness is that I am too soft-hearted.
"That girl was hit by the sixth level of necromancy magic, 'Sands of Time'."
Master Shiva suddenly spoke up and explained Pamela's experience to the disciples around him.
"This extremely vicious magic can make a person age instantly. The exact number of years depends on the caster's mental strength."
"From the results, Pamela has aged at least sixty years."
"Is it really that exaggerated?" Maria was skeptical. "Pamela looks like she is only in her forties now."
"That's probably because she was injected with the first and second stage anti-aging agents, which together offset the effects of forty years of aging."
Master Shiva explained.
Alan listened to the conversation between his master and Sister Lion and frowned secretly.
It seems that Pamela has not fully absorbed and integrated the blood essence of the Silver Titan and is only in existence in form.
Otherwise, she will gain a Titan physique that is immune to aging and will not be cursed by the "Sands of Time" at all.
"teacher……"
After a slight hesitation, Alan finally couldn't help but ask for help.
"Can you help Pamela break the aging curse caused by the 'Sands of Time'?"
…
"Mom! How can I break the aging curse of the Sands of Time?"
In another corner outside the courtyard, Spanna asked her mother.
"As far as I know, a 7th-level 'Greater Restoration' or 'Limited Wish' can remove the aging curse. Healing spells below the 7th level are ineffective."
A wry smile appeared on the Spider Queen's lips.
"Pamela is a person with great potential and is worth winning over."
"It's a pity that when I was promoted to the seventh level, I was unable to awaken the spell that could heal her."
"Is there anyone else who can heal Pamela besides you?" Spencer asked her mother.
"First of all, Mr. Mi Rui definitely has the ability, but asking him to remove the aging curse is not free."
Caroline groaned and reluctantly revealed to her daughters:
"Also, Shiva seems to have awakened the limited wish technique. If she is willing to help, she can also heal Pamela."
"Master Shiva and Pamela don't seem to have much of a relationship..." Spanner smiled oddly, "But it's hard to say about Alan."
…
"Lida, go find Pamela and tell her that I can lift her aging curse."
"If she wants to regain her youth, she should come and ask me to heal her."
Lydia hesitated for a moment, then turned reluctantly towards Pamela.
Phoebus glanced at her back and looked away with contempt.
People like Lydia are only fit to be maids running errands.
The strength that Pamela had shown in her duel with Nora just now even amazed him.
Pamela also possesses great untapped potential and a noble family background.
What’s even more rare is…
She also has an impeccable figure and a pretty face, as well as an aloof temperament that can particularly arouse a man's desire to conquer her.
Phoebus began to think.
It is true that Lydia is not worthy of him, and Renee has a history of falling in love with other people. Besides, she comes from a third-rate sorcerer family and is not qualified to be his wife.
Pamela, on the other hand, is excellent in every aspect.
If I could take advantage of the opportunity to cure the aging curse and conquer this proud beauty, it would be very beneficial to my future...
Just as I was daydreaming, Lida hurried back.
"I'm sorry...Pamela declined my invitation."
Although she said "regret", Lida was actually secretly glad.
"Why?" Phoebus's fantasy was shattered, his face was gloomy as if it was about to freeze, "Doesn't she want to regain her youth?"
"Maybe, besides you... there is someone else who can help her remove the aging curse."
Lida's eyes drifted to one side.
"Who is it?" Phoebus asked in a deep voice.
"After Pamela rejected my invitation, she followed Alan and seemed to be going to see Master Shiva..."
Phoebus was no longer in the mood to listen to what Lydia said next.
Alan...it's you again! You ruined my good thing!
Phoebus gritted his teeth secretly, anger burning in his heart.
…
"Make a wish."
Master Shiva, who has a tiger's head and a human body, said to Pamela.
“…”
Pamela lowered her head, her tassel-like blonde hair covering half of her face, and she seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Master Shiva glanced at her and said softly:
"You should be able to sense telepathy. If you are embarrassed to say it out loud, you can tell me through telepathy."
Pamela nodded and sent out a mental wave.
After a moment.
Pamela, who had regained her youth, bowed and thanked Master Shiva, but her tone seemed a little stiff.
"I owe you one."
"You don't need to repay the favor," Master Shiva said calmly, "Don't bully my students anymore."
Pamela turned her head and looked at Alan with a complicated look in her eyes.
Without saying anything, he turned around and left quietly.
Master Shiva watched her back as she walked away, then suddenly stretched out his tiger claws and slapped Alan on the head.
"Teacher, what are you doing...?"
Alan covered his head, his face full of grievance.
"Huh! Do you know what wish that blonde girl made just now?"
"Isn't it just to remove the aging curse and restore your youthful appearance?"
"That was her calming thought, not her instinctive desire."
"So, what was her initial thought?" Alan became more curious.
"hehe……"
Master Shiva sneered, with a sour taste in his words.
"She wanted to kill you and then herself because you saw how old and ugly she was."
Alan was stunned and speechless.
He had long known that Pamela was not mentally normal.
But I didn't expect that her mind had been twisted to this extent.
