Chapter 347 - Agatha (45) <2-in-1> (2/2)

Prompting the fortune-teller to say, ”It seems, it is you who have violated something.”

”Teacher, did you succeed?” On the side, Margarette asked anxiously.

The girl was aware to ask this at this moment was stupid, but she could no longer suppress the uneasiness in her heart. Despite knowing the 'general' was not an ice magician, there was something within her hoping that Jiang Li's change was because of the medium's spell.

'That f*cking general again.'

Jiang Li inhaled deeply, his hands balled into fists, and the cracking sounds from the materials turning into ice and powder became louder. What Margarette asked just now almost made him lose control of the temporary power lend to him by the system. Warned that losing control was not only deadly but could bring harm to his soul too, he tried his best to calm himself. It took him a great deal of effort to not look at the girl.

Yet his actions resulted in small red veins appearing in his eyes. The place was seventy percent made into an ice world.

He saw the fortune-teller shook her head to Margarette. ”It failed.”

It seemed there was something more the woman wanted to say. However, in the end, she could only utter her name with alarm.”Margarette.”

The youth made a move just then. He tried to snatch the girl from the fortune-teller after conjuring several small lifeforms and weapons made out of ice which he waved towards the latter. Not even a second passed, the garden giving off a vibrant and fresh beauty a couple of moments ago completely turned into a beautiful ice world. However, the woman was very fast and had managed to pull the girl over to her side.

She put the princess in front of her, temporarily escaping the fate of being encased in an ice cube or reduced into some sort of ice powder. The young man obviously had the intention to kill the fortune-teller after bringing the girl away so the former wanted to make Margarette her shield in case the man turned more berserk

What she failed to consider though was him not completely canceling his magic. Jiang Li did pause. Nonetheless, his hesitation only lasted a moment before he began pushing it forward again.

And thus, the girl who was still wallowing in disappointment could only let out a yelp as a cold fog made of finely pulverized ice floated over and devoured her.

”So decisive,” the fortune-teller couldn't help but comment, her eyes not concealing her bizarre admiration.

Jiang Li, empowered by almost a thousand points, became really too powerful, at the level of the acclaimed God of War. It gave him a new perspective of how odd and mysterious the system was, and changed the opinion of the violet-robed woman about him.

Before the fortune-teller could move away, the fog that wanted to turn her into ice before breaking her into innumerable shards came before her.

She breathed in quite deeply and then smiled wryly. 'Wow. This brat forced me into a corner. I might have to leave this world before I could meet Dong Lan.'

A second after that, the three people in the icy garden suddenly disappeared.

Jiang Li succeeded in taking Margarette from there.

Moreover, before leaving, aside from pushing the icy fog to its limit, he made sure to rain blocks of ice in the direction of the violet-robed woman. He wanted that entire special space to be destroyed. And if possible to kill the fortune-teller.

But of course, he himself knew that this thought was crazy since there was no way somebody of her caliber would die from an attack like that. And he was actually right about it.

The fortune-teller used a part of her real power to teleport out of that special space. She managed to get outside of the tower even faster than Jiang Li. Yet although escaping unscathed, she was not really pleased. When she reappeared near the palace, she watched with a frown as the observatory became covered with frost at a speed almost invisible to the n.a.k.e.d eye.

A moment later, she looked up, her lips parting a bit for an irritated sigh.

She could feel the pressure in her soul upon being discovered by the world's consciousness. In Jiang Li's term, he called it 'Fate' or most of the times, 'The Plot'. She was no longer welcomed by it so she started to feel uncomfortable, especially since she was not in her real body.

”The first teleportation here was permitted, only causing me to be confined in a very weak vessel for the entire duration of my visit.”

”But the second usage of outside power, since it was a bit more than the highest local power in this world, it was considered an offense.”

”How ridiculous.”

The woman felt annoyed. She felt even more annoyed because  Jiang Li seemed to be allowed to stay longer than her.

Was it due to the difference in their statuses? Because she was a tad weaker than the spirit servant posturing as Jiang Li's system so she could not enjoy the same treatment?

Or was it because Jiang Li's current identity was not even that of a cannon-fodder and thus he was more tolerated by the world's consciousness?

The woman's train of thoughts began to wander until she started pondering whether that child spirit had a special ability allowing its ghost to linger for decades.

Later on, though, she gave up thinking about it, shaking her head before marching towards the palace where she would enjoy her last hour in this world.
