Since she knew that the weakness of the sandmen lies on the water attribute spells, she was intending to use a small amount of water to teach the two sandmen a lesson.
However, as soon as the water sword sliced through the two of them, the two sandmen began crumbling apart.
Huala!
In the blink of an eye, they had been reduced to a pile of yellow sand.
"Errr???"
Audrey's lips twitched when she realized what she has done.
She had been planning to emulate her success in controlling the water sword back at Enchanted Garden.
She intends to use some torture method to get the two sandmen surrender and have it lead them to the oasis.
But she did not expect that the two sandmen would be so brittle that even a casual slice of water sword would actually make it crumble into a pile of sand.
Nero, on the other hand, had a sudden urge to tie his unreliable master and keep her inside the storage
While Jace and the others were deep in their thought as to why the spell seemed not to work, the flicker of life in the two sandmen appears to get extinguished for some reason as they stop moving.Then with a crack, the bodies swiftly crumbled back into a pile of yellow sand.Steve stepped forward to take a closer look at the heap of remaining sand. They were indeed only ordinary sand. There was nothing else mixed within it.Following which, he scanned his surroundings and narrowed his eyes.Another hypothesis came up to his mind after witnessing what happened. This time, there was a high chance that it was exactly the reason why all of this was happening in the first place.It could be that those sandmen were not actually a creature or a native race in this desert.The reason why the Servant Spell fails to work on them is probably that they don't have spirits or wills, to begin with.Rather than calling them creatures, it could be mo
Knowing that it was impossible to have any use from the sandmen, Audrey's group did not hesitate to slay them. There is no need for them to go easy on the other party anymore. After which, they continued walking in the direction that the sandmen had appeared from. After traveling for another ten minutes, the group repeated the same ritual once more. Another group of sandmen appeared. But this time, the fighting prowess of the sandmen had risen to another level and their number increased as well!. If before the group was only dealing with two to three sandmen per match, now there were five of them in a single go! "It seemed like the fighting prowess and the number of sandmen will continue to increase the closer we get to the enchanter…" Seeing that there were finally seeing some changes in their circumstances, Steve's eyes lit up in excitement. Just like that, they continued ahead. Whenever Au
"Try to look around you. Do you see those footsteps? Some other group of warlocks should have discovered the secret behind the desert and rushed over to the oasis. Those footsteps around us show that some people have definitely been here before us. Yet, where did those people go?""You're right! There are indeed footsteps leading into the oasis…"Taken aback, Giovanio hurriedly looked around them and noticed some shallow footprints around the perimeter of the oasis.Unfortunately, they had become indistinct after being cloaked by a layer of sand."Amazing, this water really works! Finally, I won't have to suffer anymore…""Indeed! What are you Marco Polo, Giovanio what are you waiting for?? Come drink with us!"The three warlocks who had dashed into the oasis and tested the water cried in excitement. They called out for their friends to joined them.The water that they had brought could not quench their thi
Unlike the rest of the crowd, Audrey and her cat did not back out of the oasis.The group watched in bafflement as their friend along with his cat walked up to the heap of sand remaining of the fallen warlocks just a while ago and pinched a handful of it up.Audrey leaned to it and examined the sand closely before placing it in front of her cat.Nero sniffed the sand in Audrey's hand.After they had finished examining the sand grains, Audrey began walking around the perimeter of the oasis with a tight-knit between her brows.The cold air was emanating from the oasis before her. Standing beside it, Audrey could not feel the slightest hint of heat despite being in the midst of a sweltering desert.At the same time, the lake was also extraordinarily clear. It looked so innocent that it did not seem to have anything to do with the flames that had killed the three warlocks earlier.Following their friend's lead, Allan and the
"That's a relief. It was really a horrifying sight to see a living person being reduced to yellow sand. If not for the fact that I have traveled here together with them, I would have thought that they were sandmen in disguise!"When the group of warlocks finally felt their full strength returning to them, Marco Polo remarked fearfully after some time."Sandman in disguise? Being reduced into yellow sand…"A flash sparked through Steve's mind as a thought surfaced in his head.He quickly turned to Marco Polo and asked,"You said earlier that your group only found a sandman after traveling for four hours. In other words, you didn't encounter any sandmen in the first four hours at all, did you?""Hmm? Yeah, that's right!"Marco Polo was slightly taken aback by Steve's abrupt question, but he still swiftly nodded affirmatively in response.From the moment they were teleported by the portal out from the Plufwart
Just as he was about to give up, a slight breeze suddenly blew through the oasis.The towering Sakura Tree beside the oasis swayed along with the breeze, its leaves rustling noisily.The pink flowers blooming all over the towering Sakura Tree fell into the oasis with a light tug of the breeze, and they floated quietly on the surface of the water.A moment later, they dissolved apart and vanished in the water.[Could that the culprit?]Solving the puzzle in this mystery also caught Nero's interest. As such, he too was curious as to how the warlocks were turned into a pile of yellow and after consuming the water.That is why he went out to test it for himself. Only to find out that there is nothing wrong with the water in the oasis. In fact, it was even effective in quenching one's thirst compared to ordinary water.[Litte lass, can you try picking some flowers over that tree and obse
Nevertheless, that alone was still not enough to faze the cat and he was able to dodge the attack easily with a side step.PSHH!!!! PSSH!!!! PSSSHH!!!!However, it did not seem like the tree was willing to let him and the others get away scot-free now that it was discovered.Dozens of other tree branches suddenly shot forward and pierced not only in Nero' but also towards the direction of other warlocks in the group.The force behind each of the tree's attacks left a lingering black streaks aftermath in the air.Audrey already heard Nero speaking to the tree before the incident. While the group also saw how the black cat suddenly transformed into its panther form.They knew that this black cat of their friend only uses this panther form whenever there is a danger, as such they were already on their guards.Thus, when the tree launched an attack towards them, they were not totally caught off guard.They had their
Meanwhile, the two warlocks from the Plufwarts School of Spells also took their leave and departed as soon as they reached the Rhapsody Swamp. With that, the two groups went on separate ways as they both proceeded on accomplishing each of their own mission. Walking closer to the trees where the mistletoe hung, Audrey and the others tried to pick as many flowers as they could. They placed the collected flowers inside a specialized jade box to keep it fresh. After filling three boxes in total, the group stopped picking mistletoe. "So now that we are done with our school's mission, shall we head now to our true destination???" Jace asked after stowing the three boxes of Mistletoe in his storage ring. The group decided that it would be best if only one of them will keep the flower and they unanimously decided that the one who should keep it is Jace. After attending to Audrey's burned hand, Jace went back to ignoring her. This left
