At the moment when he truly sensed the threat, White Dragon Heiss’s eyes became sinister.

What it spewed was not the pure blue-white crystallization, but a breath combining curse death and crystallization with a mix of gray-yellow!

Turci, sharp-eyed, immediately recognized it as Curse Death Spray similar to Curse Frog’s origin. She never imagined any creature besides Curse Frog could wield such power.

Even she must retreat far away when encountering the sprayed Curse Death. To this day, she hasn’t developed magic to defend against Curse Death. Its nature is so special that ordinary defense methods just don’t work; as of now, there’s no better way than to evade.

Damn it!

An exclamation mark suddenly appeared above her head.

Because Turci suddenly realized that Nadi probably doesn’t know what curse death is!

The Floating Island Dragon Clan spends every day inside Sain Dungeon, but they only hang around the gourmet area. That place is like paradise; how could Curse Frog appear there!

"Quick, dodge!" she shouted towards the sky.

Too late, Nadi’s figure was instantly engulfed by the crystallization breath entwined with curse death.

Together with the Tree Demon behind her, a third of the area was submerged by the unprecedentedly powerful breath!

"Damn it..."

Turci immediately expanded the magic shield she was releasing, forcibly expanding it to envelop allied forces including the Tree Demon. This operation inevitably meant confronting the crystallization breath directly; even at a moment when the breath’s power wasn’t at its peak, Turci was already gritting her teeth.

The magic shield she now deployed theoretically couldn’t defend against Curse Death Spray. Yet now she suddenly realized as the crystallization breath was blocked outside, the curse death mixed within the crystallization was also blocked outside.

The form of curse death power White Dragon Heiss utilized wasn’t mist but combined with crystallization?

After realizing this, Turci immediately felt relieved; the tension from witnessing White Dragon Heiss’s display of curse death power eased considerably.

The Tree Demon’s massive body fell back, unable to support itself, finally crashing onto the cave wall. Yet its still-twitching tendrils proved its life force was still rich. As the branches twitched, they delivered a tightly wrapped Nadi in front of everyone.

Vienma rubbed her aching temples; all of the Tree Demon’s actions depended on her direction. At that critical moment, she controlled the Tree Demon to burst seed and protect Nadi, but this caused her mental strain.

Her contracted beast’s combat ability isn’t strong; it specializes in reconfiguring the environment for territorial battles. If the Tree Demon roots somewhere, it could overnight turn an area as large as Hepa Town into a forest she could freely control. In theory, unchecked growth could engulf the entire continent.

But that’s only theoretical. If it tried that, before leaving Scameroon, it would likely be cut down by a human master hiding among dragons and tigers.

"How are you, hurt in any way?" Turci flicked a black Moss Ball to resist curse death towards Nadi, signaling her to eat it.

Thankfully, the tools she carried were comprehensive; a space ring was truly the greatest invention of the gods. If it could be mass-produced, it would be even better.

"I... do feel a bit uncomfortable..."

Even with the Tree Demon’s timely protection, Nadi’s armor ended up covered heavily in crystallization. With more crystallization, she could cosplay as a Gem Knight.

Such extensive crystallization erosion already affected her movement. Turci urged her to quickly remove the contaminated armor parts and replace them with fresh ones. It’s unknown how many sets of armor she prepared.

But Nadi’s previous discomfort wasn’t due to this, but because of... 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"Did the crystallization breath break through the defense?"

Only after Nadi removed her armor did they discover shattered crystals mixed with curse death color were embedded in her shoulder!

Though only a little, it was still enough to cause infection; Hades’s absorption magic failed!

"Turns out this magic has a carrying limit." Hades’s tone had an added layer of understanding. When facing the breath directly from White Dragon Heiss, the absorption magic experienced overload.

Nadi obediently swallowed the anti-curse death Moss Ball, and as she did, her complexion improved noticeably.

But the next moment, she showed discomfort again, feeling the curse death’s power still corroding her.

She immediately realized the key point—the curse death mixed with these crystals was continually eroding her body, and the ingested Moss Ball could only treat the curse death already inside her body, not affecting what’s on the crystallization!

What kind of new method for utilizing curse death is this?

At this moment, Turci’s magic shield was shattered by a chunk of iceberg-like crystallization conglomerate from Heiss that descended from the sky. In this critical moment, Nadi grabbed the shoulder pierced by crystallization, exerted force, and pulled the crystallization along with the piece of flesh off. Suddenly, twins sprouted from her back, the dragon wings flapping, swept up by the gale and flames, soaring skyward and striking the crystals above with a punch.
