The Witch Hunter System

With Aeliana's killing intent fully released at one sole target, Elvira felt like she was blasted with a wave of hot air, causing her atmosphere to feel heavy and suffocating.

"Hahaha, that's some impressive killing intent you have there. Are you sure you're not a demon?" Elvira ridiculed Aeliana for being closer to demons than Fallen Witches.

Although she appeared nonchalant, her body was slightly tense as she was affected by the heavy killing intent to some extent.

Nevertheless, Elvira shook her head and also underwent a transformation as her green flesh turned into fibrous substances like trees.

Before long, Elvira became a Dryad like Aeliana.

If the remaining human features were ignored, her Dryad form shared the same appearance as Aeliana's.

After all, their powers originated from the same source.

Nevertheless, Elvira did not reveal her Dryad Transformation ability, even when she was fighting Astoria and Ember back in her pocket realm.

Thus, it implied she hadn't been using her full strength back then.

"It looks like you can use Dryad Transformation now," Elvira's glinted with interest before she said, "However, you've forgotten where your power came from. Do you think you can beat me, the one who assimilated the original source of this power?"

"You talk too much," Aeliana coldly spat.

After turning into a Dryad, her immediate surrounding was affected by her soft and warm green-glowing aura. The patches of grass on the ground experienced accelerated growth and proliferated beyond their standard size.

Nevertheless, Aeliana infused mana into the ground with a stomp before numerous sharp roots rushed under the surface, heading toward Elvira like slithering snakes.

"Really? Do you think this level of attack can hurt me? I'm offended," Elvira snorted, countering Aeliana's attack with a similar move.

Numerous sharp roots also rushed out with a stomp of her own to clash with Aeliana's attack.

However, in contrast to the healthy brown color of Aeliana's sharp roots, Elvira's roots were black and insidious. At the same time, they were also thicker than Aeliana's.

Between a single attribute attack and a triple attribute attack, the victor was decided in a short clash.

As the two groups of roots smashed into each other and intertwined like two groups of snakes trying to coil and strangle each other, Elvira's dark roots overpowered Aeliana's brown roots.

The brown roots were quickly eroded by Elvira's dark attributes before they turned brittle and shattered like glass.

After overcoming Aeliana's attack, Elvira's dark roots continued to advance towards their target like earthen spikes shooting out of the ground.

But before they could reach Aeliana, they suddenly stopped as if they had just reached the limit of their extension.

"Hm?" Elvira frowned.

Underneath the surface, the dark roots had been broken by a new group of thorny green vines that appeared even more tenacious than the brown roots as they were empowered by light.

The light negated the darkness and cut off Elvira's power supply to her dark roots.

But after cutting off the dark roots from Elvira, the thorny green vines proceeded to coil around them and devoured the water inside them to fuel their own growth.

However, it wasn't just the water.

The thorny green vines also assimilated the broken dark roots and made them a part of them.

Shortly after, they intertwined together and formed a giant vine serpent with numerous wooden spikes on its back and two wooden horns, making it resemble a type of sea dragon.

Nevertheless, Aeliana controlled the vine serpent to coil around her protectively, ready to receive Elvira's next attack.

Instead of taking the initiative to launch the next attack, she had chosen to be on the defensive side.

"Grafting, huh? Hmph, so what if you stole a bit of my power? Your power is still incomparable to my own," Elvira snorted.

Losing a few of her roots and mana was trivial; she could always produce more.

However, she didn't intend to do such a thing. Using such a low-level attack against Aeliana's vine serpent was just inefficient and an extravagant waste of time and mana.

"Let me show what high-level grafting is about," Elvira boasted.

She quickly produced several different plants with her Dryad Power. There was a thorny purple flower, a black lotus, and red ginseng-like roots.

Dryads could recreate any plant they understand.

After they were produced, the red flower's stem replaced the black lotus's, and the red ginseng-like roots were added to the stem's bottom.

At the same time, the red flower petals also merged with the lotus.

The three plants were combined and transformed, creating a brand new budding flower-like plant with unknown effects.

"Have a taste of its effects," Elvira uttered.

In that instant, she channeled her power into the reddish-black budding flower, causing it to grow over ten feet tall.

Countless purple spores were released upon blossoming before Elvira waved them at Aeliana.

At the same time, Aeliana didn't remain idle.

She immediately manipulated her vine serpent to devour all the unknown purple spores with a suction-like ability, which made it seem like a real living creature instead of an ordinary combination of plants created through magic.

Although the vine serpent devoured all the purple spores, it suddenly wilted from the inside out like it was undergoing rapid aging until death.

"Vine Killer."

Aeliana's eyes instantly narrowed with a sharp look.

"Vine Killer?" Elvira snickered with contempt and said, "My flower is no ordinary Vine Killer; it's a flower that kills all plants!"

Aeliana's wilting vine serpent suddenly disintegrated in pieces as purple spores poured out of it and rushed at Aeliana.

There was no doubt that the purple spores were fatal to her in her Dryad form.

But even though her instincts screamed with danger, she didn't lose her calmness and faced the imminent threat with a clear mind.

The purple spores were deadly, but they lacked firepower!

Infinite Sword Light!

Numerous swords of light formed in midair around Aeliana before shooting toward the incoming cloud of purple spores like volleys of arrows—No, they were more like ballistic missiles; incredible fast.

Aeliana rarely used her first Specialized Magic, Sword of Light. But once she did, she immediately stole the spotlight.

Tens… Hundreds… Thousands…

Countless tiny swords of light continued to form and bombard the cloud of purple spores with rapid speed, quickly whittling chunks of purple spores at a time and forwarding on their flight path to Elvira.
