Cornflower Witch

Chapter 307 Butterfly Wings
【Tipu Flower Detoxifying Agent】: A detoxifying agent specifically designed to counteract insect toxins. (It can neutralize most third-order insect toxins)
【Mantis Blade】(Insect Moth): Adds a serrated edge to the weapon, which is beneficial for cutting and provides additional armor penetration.

【Copper Beetle Pendant】(Tier 3, Excellent): Displays a copper beetle phantom, usable as a barrier and shield (3 times/day)
The rewards were quite comprehensive: attack cards, defensive pendants, and antidotes. Hilti accepted and checked each item.

She then wrapped the pendant around her wrist as a bracelet and tested the Mantis Blade. She saw that the blade was covered with a layer of light blue serrated blade light, and she could easily cut the stone bricks with it, as easily as cutting bread.

Was the owner of this tomb related to insects and moths? Many abilities and items are related to insects.

After accepting the items, Hiltiya looked around the room and the passageway that led to it.

After passing through this room, the pattern of the passageway changed, as if we had entered a new level. The materials, patterns, and colors of the passageway here were all different.

On the other side of the maze, the others also arrived at the room inhabited by powerful monsters. The 'Tier 3' monsters inside were mostly monsters with the core abilities of 'Nest Beasts', and their abilities were greatly enhanced in the maze room.

There were seven people in total. Three of them died directly from the powerful monster's attack. Only four people defeated the monster, and two of the four people were seriously injured.

The four arrived at the lower level of the maze, where the challenges became more difficult, but the rewards were also much better.

……

The red-haired youth, wielding a lion-shaped greatsword and clad in crimson armor, fought a monstrous snake with a human head. The snake's body resembled a serpent, with bizarre limbs and a human head.

"Kakaka~"

His teeth chattered, emitting a strange laugh. His bulging eyes stared at the red-haired youth, and then he brandished his twin swords, attacking relentlessly. This reckless and bizarre swordsmanship left the red-haired youth struggling to defend himself.

Minutes later, he began to be injured, while the monster with a human head and a snake's body remained unharmed.

Sweat kept seeping from his forehead. After being injured, the red-haired youth felt his strength declining and a sense of danger gradually approaching.

If this continues, he will die here. Thinking this, he gritted his teeth, took out the special beetle again, and put it in his mouth.

[Blood Beetle] (Insect Moth - Blood Law): Briefly grants access to the power of ancient insects, consuming blood and causing the bloodline to gradually gravitate towards insect forms. (1/3 remaining)
He swallowed the special beetle once more, his eyes glowing red. He raised the Lion Greatsword high and brought it down heavily, breaking through the opponent's defense and cleaving the human-headed, snake-bodied monster in two.

……

Lusa moved swiftly through the room, wielding a dagger. She sped upside down from the ceiling, dodging the attacks of the two-headed monster below, then pounced from its blind spot, tearing the monster's nape open with her dagger.

As a seasoned student who had been stuck at level three for nearly 16 years, she was extremely eager to advance to the next level, and this maze adventure gave her hope.

Not only did she find many valuable treasures, but the ability cards she discovered here also brought her many surprises.

Red-tailed bee sting

Sharp, poisonous barbs suddenly sprouted from the back of her elbow, piercing the monster's body before she withdrew them, dodging its frenzied counterattack.

Soon the monster was still unsteady on its feet and weak. In its fight against Lusa, its condition worsened and it finally collapsed.

'As expected, using poison is the path an assassin should take.' She felt that she had gone astray before, focusing only on improving combat skills and physical fitness.

……

After battling and acquiring loot in multiple rooms, the four gradually adapted and regained their previous form, until...
"What does this pattern mean?" A short student looked at the room he was about to enter. The pattern was an intersecting [x] shape, with two lines resembling human figures spiraling and intertwining with each other.

Filled with doubt, he stepped inside.

The stone slab descended, sealing the room. He stood inside, sensing that the room was moving rapidly, which filled him with astonishment and uncertainty.

The room soon stopped, and one wall slowly descended, revealing his opponent—a third-tier student who also seemed somewhat puzzled. The student had short hair, wore light leather armor, and carried a dagger, suggesting he was likely an assassin.

Was this battle meant to kill another student? His expression turned grave, finding it somewhat absurd. After all, it was just an adventure; if he killed another student, the Woodland Alliance would likely find out and punish him severely.

"I said..." Before he could finish speaking, the other party had already taken action. The rapid pace of their advance made their body a blur, and then the crimson blade stretched and moved through his vision.

Oh no! The student rolled on the spot and then pressed his palm against the ground, causing a violent tremor to spread outwards from his body.

Earth Tremors

He had previously used this trick to knock out a huge slab boar, which then obediently became his prey.

Unfortunately, this time he encountered a much smarter human opponent.

Lusa leaped into the air during the attack, flipped her body in mid-air, and then plummeted downwards, the flipping blade tearing apart the bodies of the students below.

With just one moment of carelessness, one side was defeated and killed.

Afterwards, Lusa excitedly picked up the various resources left behind by the student, and under the influence of a special ritual, she felt a new power being transmitted from the deceased student.

Her long-dormant sexual phase began to loosen, and a primal urge guided her to advance in a certain direction.

A few minutes later.

Her radiance subsided, and when she opened her long-closed eyes again, a look of ecstatic joy appeared on them.

"I...I've advanced!?"

"I've advanced..." she murmured, feeling as if she were dreaming, looking left and right, and even touching herself.

"Just like that, I advanced." She repeated the words, as if she was still immersed in that recurring nightmare, unable to wake up.

Finally, she came to her senses and realized that she had truly stepped into the fourth level. Strange laughter echoed in the room.

The suppressed, ecstatic laughter, the distorted disbelief, and the sobs of joyful release all blended together to create a powerful performance.

……

On the other side, Siltia defeated the monsters in the maze and received the reward for her victory.

【Butterfly Wings】(Insect Moth): Huge butterfly wings grow from your back, with patterns that vary from person to person, granting you the ability to fly.

Flying? This is a rare ability. Many professions can only access the ability to fly after reaching the fourth rank, and not every attribute can gain the ability to fly.

For example, within the two major aspects of 'Secret Words' and 'Winter Sleep', there are no abilities related to flight.

Looking at the card in her hand, which was printed with beautiful butterfly wings, Hilti was a little curious. She then slowly incorporated the card into her destiny chart and began to adapt to it.

Beautiful, star-blue light slowly wove behind her, and soon, a pair of beautiful butterfly wings, as beautiful as the starry sky, appeared behind the girl.

The patterns on the butterfly resemble a deep, shimmering starry sky. By slightly changing the angle, you can see different colors. If you had to find a butterfly with similar patterns and colors in nature, it would be the 'Great Blue Morpho butterfly'.

Legend has it that 'fairies' are the product of the first union between 'moths' and 'emerald honeys'. They have butterfly wings and humanoid bodies, are exquisite and beautiful, and are perfect lives blooming among flowers.
