Chapter 592: Report
Her voice echoed softly throughout the silent room."I honestly believed they were simply going to leave me imprisoned here forever until I eventually shattered the seal surrounding this room."
Lana calmly smiled. "Don’t worry. I’m here now."
She slowly finished shaping the mystic sphere before adding with complete confidence, "I’ll make sure you’re reduced to nothing but a pile of ashes."
For a brief moment, Diana fell silent. Then, she began laughing. Slowly, she lifted her head.
The curtain of black hair slipped away from her face. At that instant, everyone watching through the livestream felt chills race down their spines.
Ancient black markings stretched across every inch of her skin like twisted veins. Both of her eyes had become completely pitch black.
Not even the whites of her eyes remained. There wasn’t a single place on her body that appeared unharmed.
Her skin was stained with dirt and dried blood, while an unbearable rotten odor filled the room.
Combined with the overwhelming ghostly aura surrounding her, the entire atmosphere became suffocatingly eerie.
She stared directly into Lana’s eyes. "Young lady. I’ll give you two choices."
Her voice suddenly became cold. "Leave within one minute."
She slowly flexed her fingers against the iron restraints. "But if you refuse. I’ll break these pathetic chains and come after you."
Lana merely chuckled. "Sure. Let’s play, I will be bored during the exorcism anyway."
Diana’s expression remained emotionless. She slowly turned her head toward the old clock hanging on the wall.
Its rhythmic ticking echoed throughout the room. Lana immediately understood Diana’s intention.
’She’s trying to pressure me psychologically.’
Unfortunately for Diana, Lana remained completely nonchalant.
The very next second, she took out several Exorcism Talismans.
Instead of attaching them directly to Diana’s body, she continued concentrating on forming her mystic sphere.
Seeing this, Mr. Crow immediately spread his wings.
With remarkable precision, he carefully dropped every Exorcism Talisman onto the floor around Lana, forming an invisible defensive perimeter.
The competition rules clearly prohibited contestants from using offensive exorcism artifacts during battle.
Of course, defensive usage was completely acceptable. That was precisely why Lana hadn’t activated the talismans directly.
Instead, she had transformed them into a defensive trap.
As long as Diana charged toward her, she would inevitably step onto the talismans.
The instant that happened, the holy energy within them would burn Diana’s ghostly soul. Meanwhile, Diana slowly looked toward the clock once again.
A faint smile appeared on her lips. "Oops. Time’s up."
The next instant... Crack! The thick iron chains exploded apart.
Metal fragments scattered across the stone floor as Diana casually shattered every restraint binding her.
She stood up. Without giving Lana a single moment to react, she lunged forward.
Just as Lana had anticipated, Diana stepped directly onto every Exorcism Talisman surrounding her.
Golden light erupted from the floor. A series of violent hissing sounds echoed throughout the room.
However, that was all. The talismans only managed to slow her down for a brief instant.
Despite suffering damage, Diana still arrived right in front of Lana. Her ghostly hand immediately reached toward Lana’s throat.
At that exact moment, Lana moved. Without the slightest hesitation, she threw the mystic sphere she had been patiently preparing.
The glowing sphere struck Diana squarely in the stomach. The instant it made contact....
"AAAAAHHHHH!!"
A horrifying scream echoed throughout the room. It sounded as though her soul itself had been thrown into blazing fire.
Diana staggered backward several steps while clutching her stomach. For the very first time, fear appeared inside her pitch-black eyes.
Lana smiled faintly. "Sorry. Did I forget to mention something?"
She dusted off her sleeve before continuing, "I’m really not fond of people invading my personal space."
She tilted her head ever so slightly. "So next time, keep that in mind."
Hearing those words, Diana shrieked furiously. "You wretched girl! How dare you speak to me like that!"
Consumed by rage, she charged forward once again. However, Lana had anticipated this long ago.
She had already been forming two mystic spheres simultaneously.
She knew perfectly well that one attack wouldn’t be enough against a seven-hundred-year-old ghost.
That was precisely why she had spent so much time gathering mystic energy. Without hesitation, she threw the second mystic sphere.
This time, Diana had become much more cautious. She instantly dodged to one side. The glowing sphere flew harmlessly past her.
A creepy grin spread across Diana’s face. "You missed."
However, the very next second, something impossible happened. The mystic sphere that should have crashed into the stone wall suddenly curved through the air.
It abruptly changed direction. Like a living creature that had locked onto its prey, it chased after Diana.
Seeing this, Diana’s expression finally changed. She hurriedly dodged.
The mystic sphere missed again. Yet it turned around once more. She dodged a second time. The sphere continued pursuing her relentlessly.
She barely escaped a third time. But during those precious moments, Lana had already condensed yet another mystic sphere.
At the exact instant Diana completed her third dodge, the pursuing mystic sphere finally caught up.
Boom! It slammed directly into Diana’s back.
"AAAAAHHHHH!!"
She screamed in agony before collapsing onto one knee. Furious beyond reason, she glared at Lana.
"You’re cheating! You’re cheating! You used some kind of different power!"
Lana couldn’t help but laugh.
"Well, last time my teachers said the same thing during exams, but they weren’t able to prove anything. Legend says he is still doing that! Sigh! Anyways, what is happening right now is my familiar’s ability."
As she spoke, she gently patted Mr. Crow’s tiny head.
Only then did everyone watching the livestream finally understand the mystery behind Lana’s attacks.
She hadn’t broken the competition rules. Instead, she had cleverly combined her own techniques with her familiar’s unique ability.
Those viewers who had already opened the report page to accuse Lana of cheating awkwardly froze.
One of them couldn’t help but mutter,
"Seriously... Why couldn’t she explain everything from the beginning?"
"She almost made us misunderstand."
Meanwhile, Mr. Crow had no intention of letting Diana off so easily.
