Chapter 833: 644
Jenna let out a roar, and her Sanctuary Halo burst into splendid brilliance. As she raised her hand to cast a spell, Ai Lin also lifted her hand, but instead, she directly grabbed Jenna’s hand.
"Thinking of killing me? That’s hardly going to be easy, don’t you see how young I am? How could I possibly die before you?"
Ai Lin’s lightning-fast action terrified Jenna. Ai Lin was clearly some distance away from her just a moment ago, how could she suddenly appear right in front of her? Jenna jerked her hand back, trying to break free, but Ai Lin’s grip on her wrist was unyielding.
"Thinking you can come and go as you please? Since you’re an uninvited guest, if you want to leave, shouldn’t you at least leave me some kind of souvenir?"
Ai Lin still wore a smile, yet Jenna’s complexion turned pale with fright for she realized Ai Lin’s Mana was surging wildly!
In the blink of an eye, a Sanctuary Halo appeared behind Ai Lin, and Jenna was utterly stunned. So, Ai Lin was also a Sanctuary Mage, and she was so young!
Jenna suddenly realized that this girl in front of her could very likely be the murderer who killed the Crown Prince and his entourage!
"Who the hell are you! You’re a Sanctuary Mage! You can’t possibly be this young!" Jenna screamed.
"It’s quite obvious that I am this young, jealous, huh?" Ai Lin replied teasingly, "Now, esteemed Sanctuary Mage Jenna, it’s your turn to be forthcoming with me. Let’s hear what you know and the real reason you came here."
Jenna’s expression was twisted, never expecting the dynamics to shift so drastically in such a short time!
Alright, it may be embarrassing, but staying here is far too dangerous. I only need a small chance, just as soon as she lets go of me, I can...
Suddenly, Ai Lin released her grip, and Jenna was free at once.
Jenna paused, felt a sudden weakness flood her, and she lurched toward the wall, only to hear a dull thud as the Sanctuary Mage slammed into the wall, stars bursting before her eyes!
"Master! What are you thinking?" Ai Lin burst into laughter.
"Damn you! You tricked me!" Jenna instantly knew there had been a trap set up by Ai Lin in the room, targeting her Neglecter ability!
"All I wanted was to ask you some questions, what would I do if you had gone?" Ai Lin said, as she stepped closer to Jenna.
"Questions?" Jenna’s eyes flickered, "Speaking of questions, do you know this one?"
"What question?"
"That is, what will you look like in a hundred years!"
Jenna shouted, and a strange magic slammed into Ai Lin, who looked confusedly at Jenna, but nothing happened.
Jenna had just cast a spell, the reverse version of her Rejuvenation spell, which could make a person look old in a short time. It would leave them weak, powerless, and slow to react.
However, Ai Lin remained unchanged.
"I think, I might still look the same, huh?" Ai Lin said.
"No! That’s impossible!" Jenna screamed, casting her spells again. "Two hundred years! Three hundred years! Age already! Hurry up and get old!"
To Jenna’s astonishment, Ai Lin seemed only to appear slightly more mature than before, but she showed no signs of aging, and three hundred years was already the limit of Jenna’s magic.
"What a pity, Mage Jenna, your spell really is quite boring," said Ai Lin, who barely felt any change in herself, and if anything, she felt stronger. Given her lifespan, she was far too young now, and in three hundred years, she would likely be in her prime.
"No! How is this possible! No one can stay young forever! No one can!"
Jenna roared as she lunged toward Ai Lin, but at that moment, Ai Lin, too, raised her hand, a spell hitting Jenna, and the once-young Jenna began to age rapidly. Smooth skin wrinkled, upright body hunched, and full curves shrank. In no time at all, she had turned into a decrepit old woman!
"It seems that this is what you should look like."
Ai Lin had not attacked Jenna, but merely undone her magic.
Losing her youthful vitality, Jenna howled loudly, looking at her skin now like dried-up wood, her blurry eyes filled with terror. She tried to flee, turned around only to see the full-length mirror behind her. Where was there any trace of beauty in the old woman in the reflection?
"No! This isn’t me! It’s not! You vile woman! It’s your curse! You stole my beauty! I’ll kill you! Kill you!" Jenna screamed, like a dying beast. Though no longer young, she still possessed formidable Mana, she was still that Sanctuary Mage! Even if my Neglecter talent has failed, my knowledge can still kill you!
Mana concentrated, Jenna was prepared for her next spell attack. And just at that moment, the main door was suddenly burst open, and Crown Prince St. Antonio stormed in with his guards.
"Miss Ai Lin! Are you alright?"
Almost simultaneously, all of Jenna’s magic dispersed into nothing, and she charged toward St. Antonio, passing through him and disappearing into the crowd behind.
