Douluo Continent: Tonight, a Fairy Tale Descends

The entire arena floor was shaking!

Countless dark red rose thorns, like giant pythons that had been sleeping for thousands of years, burst out of the ground. They were as thick as arms, with venomous thorns at the tips that gleamed with a faint purple light. They covered the area in an instant, densely packed, and instantly filled a radius of thirty meters!

This is no ordinary thorn; it is Aurora's long-awaited counterattack!

Cinderella's pupils contracted sharply.

She tried to use Star Leap to escape, but the slowing effect of the Fragrance Trap slowed her reaction by a fraction of a second.

Just a fraction of a second.

A thorn had already wrapped around her ankle.

"not good!"

Cinderella's pupils contracted sharply as the poisonous thorns at the tip of the thorns pierced her skin, and a numbing sensation instantly spread upwards from her ankle.

Cinderella's third spirit ring lit up instantly.

"Third Soul Skill, Stardust Protection!"

boom!

Golden light exploded from beneath her feet, and her crystal dancing shoes instantly burst forth with dazzling brilliance. Countless fine golden stardust surged out like living things, rapidly condensing around her body.

In the blink of an eye, a semi-transparent light shield formed from pure starlight enveloped her entire body!

The light shield was crystal clear, with a dreamlike luster flowing across its surface, as beautiful as a phantom from a fairy tale.

But its defensive capabilities are enough to make any attack pale in comparison!

Chi Chi Chi!

The rose thorns that had entangled themselves against the stardust shelter made a harsh, corrosive sound.

The poisonous thorns at the tip of the thorns stabbed wildly, but they could not penetrate the seemingly thin starlight barrier at all.

Chapter 414 Rose Storm

Even more terrifying is that the starlight energy attached to the surface of the Stardust Shelter is actually eroding those thorns!

Fine cracks began to appear on the dark red thorns, and golden light seeped out from the cracks—starlight burning away the power of the curse!

Ailuo's gaze sharpened.

What a powerful defensive soul skill!

But she didn't panic.

Because she knew Cinderella was going to run away.

Sure enough, the moment the thorns were blocked by the stardust, Cinderella's first spirit ring lit up again.

First Soul Skill: Starlight Leap!

A burst of golden light erupted, and her figure vanished from her original spot, reappearing at the edge of the arena thirty meters away.

The thorns that had been wrapped around her ankles were shattered the moment the Starlight Leap was launched.

A faint smile appeared on Ai Luo's lips.

"They can't escape."

Her second spirit ring lit up again.

Second Soul Skill: Crimson Thorn!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Just as Cinderella regained her footing, the ground beneath her feet cracked again!

This time, it's even crazier than before!

Twelve dark red rose thorns burst forth from the ground, no longer simply entwining, but like twelve bloodthirsty spears, simultaneously piercing Cinderella from all directions.

At the tip of each thorn, the poisonous barbs, gleaming with a ghostly purple light, seemed to be grinning maliciously!

Cinderella gritted her teeth.

Stardust Protection was still there, but her soul power no longer allowed her to maintain this state for long.

We must fight back.

A resolute glint flashed in her eyes.

Second Soul Skill: Thorn Waltz Starry Sky!

She spun around, her figure leaving golden afterimages through the thorns. With each spin, several crystal spikes shot out, accurately striking the thorns that were coming at her!

Ding Ding Ding Ding!

The dense clattering sounds were like a downpour pounding on banana leaves.

Crystal spikes and rose thorns collided, shattered, and vanished wildly in mid-air.

But there were too many thorns.

No matter how fast Cinderella's attack was, she couldn't shatter all twelve thorns at once.

A thorn broke through her defenses and pierced straight into her back!

Cinderella dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding the thorn, but it grazed her arm, leaving a trail of blood.

In that instant, Aurora unleashed her first soul skill once again: Fragrant Trap!

An invisible fragrance silently entered her nostrils.

Cinderella's body suddenly sank.

The speed dropped sharply again!

Another thorn seized the opportunity and pierced her Stardust Protection.

boom!

The Stardust Shelter trembled violently, and fine cracks appeared on the surface of the light shield.

Cinderella's expression changed.

Stardust Protection is about to give way.

She suddenly looked up at the pale gold figure thirty meters away.

Aurora stood there, surrounded by a faint crimson glow, her pale gold eyes calm as still water, as if she were simply watching a performance with a predetermined ending.

Cinderella took a deep breath.

Feeling the dwindling soul power within her, she knew she had to make one last desperate attempt.

It's either life or death.

It's either win or lose.

She slowly straightened up, and an unprecedented light ignited in her amber eyes.

The fourth spirit ring suddenly lit up.

The jet-black spirit ring burst forth with a blinding light at that moment.

Fourth Soul Skill

Cinderella's voice pierced through all the noise in the ring, clearly reaching everyone's ears.

"Phantom Twelve Shots!"

boom!!!

Golden light surged from her body, instantly engulfing the entire arena.

Within the light, twelve golden figures simultaneously split off from her body!

Every figure looked exactly like Cinderella, with long golden hair, amber eyes, and crystal dancing shoes that shimmered brilliantly at their feet.

Twelve afterimages, plus the original body, made a total of thirteen golden figures appearing simultaneously on the arena!

They formed perfect formations, crouching, standing, turning to the side, or leaping into the air; every posture was full of power and beauty, like a dance troupe composed of stars.

Thirteen golden figures moved simultaneously.

Instead of charging in sequence, they formed a series of afterimages, like a meticulously choreographed dance, with four afterimages flanking from the front in an arc, three from the flanks, two leaping high into the air to strike downwards, two gliding eerily along the ground, and the last standing shoulder to shoulder with Cinderella's true form, holding down the central position.

Golden stardust exploded beneath the feet of each figure.

Each figure raised their right leg high, drawing a perfect arc in the air.

The Waltz of Thorns!

But this is no ordinary waltz of thorns.

The four afterimages in front of them were performing standard spinning kicks, with crystal spikes raining down like a storm of pear blossoms.

The three afterimages on the flanks moved even more swiftly. The spikes they kicked were not scattered, but three parallel straight lines, sealing off all of Ai Luo's space to dodge laterally.

The two afterimages in the air descended upside down, their spikes pouring down from above, each aimed at Aurora's shoulders and neck.

The two afterimages swept across the ground, their sharp spikes aimed straight for Ai Luo's ankles.

Cinderella's true form and the last remaining afterimage stood side by side, their hands slowly raised at their sides. They did not rush to attack, but waited.

The moment Aurora reveals a weakness.

Thirteen golden figures, each with a different attack stance, converged into a complete killing formation at the same moment.

Like a dance troupe composed of stars, they performed the most magnificent yet deadly waltz on the arena.

Aurora's pupils contracted slightly.

She had seen countless soul skills and countless combined attack tactics, but she had never seen an attack like this.

Every afterimage was a genuine attack, and every spike carried real soul power fluctuations.

Twelve afterimages, plus the main body, representing thirteen directions and thirteen angles.

Perfect, flawless.

This is Cinderella's fourth soul skill.
