Douluo Continent: Tonight, a Fairy Tale Descends

Page 280

The tip of each thorn gleamed with a faint purple light; those were poisoned spikes!

Cinderella's pupils constricted.

She knew very well that with Ghostly Strike's agility, it wasn't impossible for her to escape unscathed from this dense thicket of thorns, but the risk was too great.

Once she is pierced by any thorn, the poison on it will take effect, causing her to become sluggish and stiff. Facing Aurora, who is at level 49, she will undoubtedly lose.

Chapter 413 Cinderella VS Aurora 2

You can't gamble.

Cinderella sighed inwardly.

The first spirit ring suddenly lit up.

A Leap of Starlight!

Golden light exploded beneath her feet, and in the next instant, her figure vanished from her original spot, appearing directly on the other side of the arena thirty meters away.

The rose thorns that had been frantically sprouting out missed their target, twisting and struggling on the ground before slowly retreating back underground.

Aurora's eyes flashed, and without any hesitation, she chased after Cinderella.

She was incredibly fast, her steps light and graceful, but beneath that elegance lay a deadly intent.

Even more terrifying, three thorny rose bushes followed her closely, like three venomous snakes that had come to life, baring their fangs and ready to devour her at any moment.

Can they escape?

Aurora spoke softly, her voice still gentle, but a true fighting spirit had ignited in her light golden eyes.

The second spirit ring lit up again.

Crimson Thorn!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As soon as Cinderella regained her footing, the ground beneath her cracked open again, and several more rose thorns burst forth from the earth, frantically coiling around her!

Cinderella gritted her teeth and unleashed her full power with Ghostly Shadow, leaving golden afterimages in her wake as she narrowly avoided each attack.

But Aurora didn't give her a chance to catch her breath.

The thorns seemed to have a life of their own, growing wildly, entwining, and piercing her as they followed her footsteps.

once.

twice.

three times.

Cinderella's room to dodge was getting smaller and smaller, and the thorns were getting closer and closer to her body.

The Shrek students in the audience were on tenterhooks.

"Sister Cindy!" Ma Hongjun couldn't help but call out.

Yu Xiaogang stared intently at the stage, his fingers clenched so tightly they turned white.

He knew that Cinderella was now at a significant disadvantage.

Aurora's soul skills are too comprehensive, including slowing, control, and pursuit. Moreover, her soul power is two levels higher than Cinderella's, so she is not afraid of a head-on confrontation.

But Cinderella also has her advantages.

speed.

And patience.

Another thorn grazed her cheek, lifting a strand of golden hair.

Cinderella's eyes, however, grew brighter and brighter.

She was observing.

Observe Aurora's attack rhythm, and observe the growth pattern of those thorns.

Then, she found it.

Just as Aurora's thorns attacked again, Cinderella noticed that Aurora paused for half a second.

That was to build up strength for manipulating the thorns.

It's now!

A cold glint flashed in Cinderella's eyes.

A Leap of Starlight!

Golden light exploded again, and she instantly disappeared from her original spot, appearing directly five meters in front of Aurora.

Upon landing, golden stardust splattered everywhere!

Ailuo's eyes narrowed, and she quickly retreated.

But this time she couldn't completely avoid it.

A few specks of stardust landed on the hem of her clothes, triggering a dizzying effect!

Although it was only a fraction of a second, it was enough for Cinderella.

"Second Soul Skill, Thorn Waltz!"

Cinderella spun around, her right leg sweeping out like a whip, golden streaks of light tearing through the air!

From within the streak of light, countless tiny crystal tips shot out, enveloping Aurora's entire body like a torrential rain.

Ai Luo gritted her teeth; the dizziness had just subsided, and her reaction was already a beat slow.

But she was, after all, a level 49 Soul Master, with terrifyingly strong combat instincts.

The third spirit ring suddenly lit up.

Petal Shield!

Countless crimson rose petals surged out of her body, instantly spinning rapidly around her to form an impenetrable, absolute defensive circle!

Ding Ding Ding Ding!

The crystal spikes struck the petal shield with a series of crisp sounds, then were all shattered and annihilated, turning into specks of golden light that dissipated.

Cinderella's eyes narrowed.

What an amazing defensive skill!

But she did not back down.

The Thorn Waltz Connects the Stars!

Her figure suddenly accelerated, spinning and kicking wildly around Aurora. With each kick, a crystal spike shot out, like a rain of pear blossoms, frantically crashing into the petal shield.

Ding Ding Ding Ding!

The dense pounding sounds were like raindrops hitting banana leaves, so fast that it was hard to breathe.

One.

Two.

Three.

Five.

Ten.

Twenty!

Cinderella's offensive was like a storm, wave after wave, giving no one a chance to breathe!

The petal shield began to tremble slightly under such a high-intensity impact.

Aurora's expression finally changed.

She could feel the soul power on the shield being depleted.
