He tried taking a few steps and suddenly realized he was still alive.
“I-I’m fine?”
Zhu Qiu walked over at that moment, looking Kasola up and down.
“See, I told you it doesn’t hurt at all.”
“I wasn’t lying to you.”
Kasola felt around for a moment.
“Seems like… it really doesn’t hurt at all, huh.”
But the more he thought about it, the more something felt off, so he finally asked the question.
“What did you do to me?”
“Hehe~”
“Take a guess~”
Zhu Qiu’s smile remained just as inscrutable to Kasola.
“Just tell me!”
Kasola was starting to get scared.
After all, with a magic circle that big, even if it didn’t hurt, it definitely must have done something to him.
As for what it did, he had no idea.
All the explanation rights belonged to Zhu Qiu, so being afraid was unavoidable.
But Zhu Qiu chose not to answer that question.
Instead, she raised an eyebrow at Yiluo Enya and said, “Yiluo Enya, let’s proceed with the plan.”
“Alright!”
Yiluo Enya smiled slightly, looking like she was already prepared.
“Wait, what else are you two going to do?”
The moment Kasola asked that question, Yiluo Enya summoned a giant vine that wrapped around his calf and hung him upside down.
Even though the magic circle from earlier was terrifying, Kasola still displayed an extremely strong will to survive when the vine wrapped around him.
“BURNING DESIRE!”
Kasola: “?”
The scene he imagined didn’t happen.
“BURNING DESIRE!”
He tried using the spell again, but there was still no reaction.
‘Why isn’t the magic working?’
He suspected Burning Desire wasn’t working, so he started trying different spells to break free.
But no matter what spell he tried to use, the Magic Power inside him was like still water in a pond—there was no reaction at all.
He seemed to realize something was wrong.
Off to the side, Zhu Qiu, who had been barely holding in her laughter, finally burst out.
“Hehe~”
“What are you laughing at?”
“Put me down now!”
“If you’ve got the ability, come down yourself!”
“Didn’t you always manage to get down on your own before?”
“Hehe~”
“I…”
“Want to know what kind of magic I cast just now?”
“Nope.”
He was still as stubborn as ever.
“Fine then, I won’t tell you.”
“The magic circle I drew just now was specifically for sealing Magic Power.”
“Hehe~”
“What did you say?”
Kasola’s face was filled with shock.
“Yiluo Enya, since the plan is finished, let’s get out of here first.”
Yiluo Enya nodded, then shook her head.
“Wait for me.”
“I still have a little personal grudge to settle.”
She took a step back.
“ALL THINGS HAVE SPIRIT: SPIRIT!”
Then two Treants emerged from underground.
“Mhm, perfect.”
“You two stay here and give this noble Fire Element Dragon a proper reception.”
With that, the two moving Treants extended their branches, and Kasola’s torture began.
“Alright, we can go now.”
“Okay.”
Kasola watched Zhu Qiu and Yiluo Enya’s departing figures, completely dumbfounded.
The Treants immediately started tickling the soles of Kasola’s feet, making it impossible for him to move.
“Hey! Wait!”
“You’re just going to leave me like this?”
“You can’t do this!”
“Get back here!”
He shouted in despair, and in the end, something did come over.
But it wasn’t Zhu Qiu.
It was the Treants Yiluo Enya had summoned earlier.
“Wait, are you serious?”
“You sealed my Magic Power and just dumped me here?”
“Hey! Come back!”
“Get this thing away from me!”
“Hahahaha!”
The Treants immediately started tickling Kasola, making it impossible for him to control himself.
Kasola couldn’t help but burst out laughing, laughing so hard he couldn’t even speak.
At the same time, the Treants increased their tickling speed, perfectly displaying Kasola’s feeling of both agony and pleasure.
This was truly fitting.
It was a treatment one could only enjoy in front of Kasola.
Let him enjoy it thoroughly.
After all, this was the treatment Zhu Qiu could only enjoy in front of Zhu Xiaxia.
On the other side, Yiluo Enya was walking along the grass that had been burned by Kasola and the others earlier, using her Magic Power to restore the grass as she went.
“Whoa, Yiluo Enya, your Elf magic is amazing!”
“You can actually heal grass that’s already been burned to death.”
“That’s so cool.”
“This is actually nothing special.”
“It’s just something our Elf Race was born with.”
“Besides, restoring this grass doesn’t consume much Magic Power.”
“It’s only when summoning plants that there’s a relatively larger consumption.”
“I see.”
Zhu Qiu rubbed her chin, looking thoughtful.
“I have a question.”
“How exactly do you tell when you’ve consumed a lot of Magic Power versus a little?”
“Huh?”
“Isn’t Magic Power something you just feel?”
“When you’re out of Magic Power, you feel weak, and when you have plenty, you’re full of energy.”
“It’s simple.”
“What kind of question is that?”
Yiluo Enya was puzzled.
“It’s just a normal question.”
“If you don’t know, you ask.”
“Is that so?”
“Then why can’t I feel it?”
Although she truly didn’t have Magic Power back when she was human, after becoming a Dragon, she was able to use magic too.
So she wanted to understand this thing as well.
After all, in the Dragon Race Imperial Palace, Zhu Xiaxia had never mentioned it to her.
“You can’t feel it?”
“That’s impossible.”
“It’s true.”
“Then it must be because the magic you use on a regular basis consumes too little Magic Power—not enough to affect you personally.”
The moment Yiluo Enya finished saying that, she felt something was off.
The super-large magic circle Zhu Qiu had just released should have consumed a lot of Magic Power, right?
Why was she completely fine right now?
And where did she even learn it?
Zhu Qiu was so strange.
Where did she learn this kind of magic?
Looking at the sealing effect and the Magic Power involved, even just by classification, it had to be something in the forbidden category.
How could this… not seem like something someone could learn?
Yiluo Enya’s gaze at Zhu Qiu turned strange, her eyes revealing a sense of disbelief.
“Yiluo Enya, why are you staring at me like that?”
“Is there something dirty on my face?”
Zhu Qiu tilted her head.
“No, no.”
Yiluo Enya shook her head.
“I was just marveling at something.”
“Marveling at what?”
“At the amount of Magic Power stored inside you.”
“What’s there to marvel at?”
“I only just got Magic Power not long ago…”
Zhu Qiu suddenly realized she’d misspoken and quickly stopped herself.
Yiluo Enya: “What kind of talk is that?”
Zhu Qiu was acting so strangely today, saying inexplicable things and asking inexplicable questions.
She was utterly unfathomable.
“Nothing, nothing.”
She couldn’t exactly let Yiluo Enya know she used to be human.
“Forget about that.”
“Let’s hurry up and think about what to do next.”
Zhu Qiu began changing the subject.
“Next… we follow the plan.”
“We’ll hide first, wait for them to finish fighting, then come out and take on the last team.”
“Alright!”
The two of them used their own methods to quickly reach the edge of the event area, finally managing to regroup before nightfall.
