As the death tadpoles rushed toward the rapidly growing plant wave, both sides soon formed a wrestling-like scene.
The tadpoles charged into the ocean of plants like bullets, and with just a light touch, these plants would immediately age, wither, and decay.
However, Elder Delar utilized the powerful replenishing ability of his domain to summon and foster even more plants. Each time Peggy killed one plant on her side, he could pull out three to fill the gap, so much so that Peggy was actually suppressed for a moment and had to retreat quickly.
Damn it! Peggy bit her silver teeth in frustration. She realized that the essence of withering was to bring things prematurely to their life limit, and the aging process required a certain amount of time, maybe a few seconds... which meant it was less efficient than Curse Death.
Once her output efficiency couldn't keep up, she couldn't break through this ocean of frenzied plants.
After all, the opponent is a demigod whose Spirituality far surpasses hers!
"Ah?" Elder Delar suddenly exclaimed as he noticed the speed of massive withering of his plants accelerating.
Just a sweep of Spirituality over the inside of his domain, and he immediately sensed a hidden toxin power spreading and corroding rapidly inside the plants.
"Poor trick." The half-elf Elder sneered coldly, activating another Law Skill.
From the vines and sprouts of the plants, a profusion of vibrant flowers quickly bloomed, their toxic pollen spreading with the air.
Toxin, too, is one of the characteristics of plants.
As the toxin controlled by Elder Delar began to permeate the air, Peggy's toxin ability was immediately counter-suppressed; after all, the former was a Law Skill, and the latter just a normal Sequential Ability, inferior in rank to the opponent.
Fortunately, as a member of the Blood Clan with an Undead Physic and Flesh Power, Peggy did not fear the toxin damage, otherwise, she would have suffered terribly.
Peggy gritted her teeth in anger, wishing she could simply devour her opponent alive. She had never encountered such a disadvantage since becoming a Transcendent (being suppressed by a demigod and unable to retaliate); infuriated, she outputted her Spirituality at full power, engaging in a desperate struggle with the opposing plant wave using her Withering Skill.
No, wrong!
Minutes later, Peggy suddenly realized: Why was she foolishly competing in Spirituality consumption with a demigod?
Then, she suddenly became aware that these pollen in the air—though they couldn't poison her body—had a strong hallucinogenic effect, making one more reckless and impulsive.
That means, the opponent was intentionally provoking me to counterattack!
With this realization, Peggy was fully awakened: Her inability to hold back and act on her own probably played right into the opponent's hands. Including the previous "public outrage" and "taunt coercion", all were intentionally triggered by the opponent to provoke her own anger.
The slightly guilty Blood Clan miss just spaced out for a moment, then hurriedly found reasons to convince herself:
Okay, I admit I shouldn't have acted against these half-elves on my own, against Aske's instructions and advice. Now that the conflict has escalated, I'm guessing even if Her Majesty the Queen finishes her talk and comes out, it won't be easy to quell these half-elves who have already stirred up a riot.
But there might still be a way to remedy the situation... What if I kill all these half-elves?
If they're all killed, then there'd be no need for suppression, right?
Thinking this, the Blood Clan girl couldn't suppress the violent killing intent that arose. Her insights into the Death Law accumulated, as if suddenly understanding everything, her consciousness washed into a blood-red hue.
Hmm, got it? Elder Delar saw the sudden increase in Spirituality on the other side, and his pupils also turned bright red, immediately realizing the opponent had ascended on the spot.
What a lucky human girl, to still have the leisure to realize the Law under such pressure?
Then, he saw Peggy raise an arm.
The fair arm turned into fresh blood, lunging toward the dense plants ahead.
Blood Clan! Seeing that the opponent could transform their body into tainted blood, Elder Delar immediately realized that this was not a human, but a genuine female of the Blood Clan!
And previously, in the team of assassins who had attempted to assassinate Chairman Gren in the street, there was said to be a member of the Blood Clan, so…
Before he could continue his deep thought, the sudden surge of panic and disarray from the plants flooded into Elder Delar's mind.
My plants… are they, afraid?
The once fierce and aggressive plants, under the splattering of the tainted blood exploding from within Peggy, wilted rapidly like dry branches and leaves scorched by flames.
This effect of the blood was not merely destructive, it resembled more of a… drainage.
Like aphids, longhorn beetles, and mold fungus, they brazenly drew the life from the plants. They did not just bring death, but used the plants' death to sustain their own lives.
This skill… Elder Delar realized it was specifically designed to counter his Plant Law!
His plant domain expanded once again—this time, driven by full-force fury, with the tremendous pressure of a Demigod Rank, it swept forward like a tsunami.
Under the push of the domain, the plants immediately enveloped Peggy. As long as Elder Delar's Spirituality was not exhausted, these grasses and vines within the plant domain effectively possessed near-infinite life force.
Endless blood-colored tadpoles surged massively from Peggy's arm, breaking a small hole in the green domain. These tadpoles were continuously crushed by the domain only to regenerate the next second—they were forcefully drawing Spirituality from the plants stimulated by Elder Delar!
Elder Delar's face turned a shade of bluish-purple, his mind overwhelmed with a myriad of complex thoughts, "To withstand a demigod domain using Law Skills?" "Such a terrifying woman must not be left alive!"
Meanwhile, Peggy stood at the center of the blood tadpoles, completely oblivious to the shifting expressions on Elder Delar's face… at that moment, she had entered a state of "Void Brightness Silence," and her body's outline began to fluctuate, gradually taking the shape of countless tadpoles.
Body Conceptualization!
Having grasped the final Law Skill, she had unconsciously begun weaving laws to form her own Demigod Domain… Peggy was attempting to break through to Level 20, challenging the threshold of a Demigod!
"Enough, stop now!"
The voice of Red-haired Otto, the ancestor of Eleanor's family and a Demigod, suddenly emerged from behind.
His voice seemed to carry a magical power, interrupting Peggy's state of realization while also causing Elder Delar's plant surge to uncontrollably retract.
"You!" Peggy realized what had happened, frustrated and furious.
If Otto hadn't interrupted her, she might have already successfully advanced to the Demigod Rank by now.
As if sensing her annoyance, Red-haired Otto smiled composedly:
"If I hadn't spoken up, do you really think this elf elder would allow you to brazenly cross the Demigod threshold in his presence?"
Elder Delar's expression was as dark as water. The other party was not wrong, he as a Demigod certainly also possessed a final powerful move that could directly shatter the opponent's Blood Skill and instantly kill her.
But at that moment, he no longer had the capacity to concern himself with Peggy. Who exactly was this Frankish Demigod who had suddenly appeared?
