So I Became a Witch and Started Doing Daily Quests

Chapter 409 : Overwhelming Suppression

"Miss Janna has also mastered a 【Law Fragment】!?"Unlike the participants inside the 【Bonsai Secret Realm】 who were kept in the dark, the audience in the 【Glory Arena】—with their 360-degree curved projection screen and John-Jones providing a full explanation—knew almost instantly that Janna could “manipulate thorns”.

Thereafter, everyone began to speculate what kind of 【Law Fragment】 Janna-Roland, who had consecutively eliminated Marquell-Storm and Daisy-Hathaway, actually possessed.

Was it the 【Law of Thorn Manipulation】? Or the 【Law of Plant Manipulation】? Or perhaps some other higher-tier 【Law】 power?

Up to this point, there had been four participants capable of wielding 【Law】 power. Aside from Marquell-Storm and Louisto-Tulan, there was also Kumbu-Thornspike, suspected of holding the 【Law of Insect Communication】. Compared to them, Janna’s 【Law】 power was undoubtedly stronger.

At the beginning of the fourth trial, Kumbu-Thornspike’s performance was also extremely dazzling.

From summoning swarms of insects to directing them to attack the participants—if Janna had not intervened midway, he should have been the biggest winner of this round.

However, when dozens of thorn vines, as massive as emerald pythons, broke out from the ground and besieged the participants, Kumbu-Thornspike’s 【Law】 appeared weaker.

After all, not only did those thorns attack the participants, they also targeted the insect swarms vying for the 【Anti-Magic Rings】.

Because of this, aside from the participants struggling against the thorns, even the insects under Kumbu-Thornspike’s command began to show fear. After several large groups were whipped to death by the vines, many insects started slipping from his control.

Thus, in this 【Law】 clash, it was clear to all that Janna had the absolute upper hand, completely overwhelming Kumbu-Thornspike’s 【Law of Insect Speech】.

"A miscalculation…"

Watching his swarm being slaughtered by the thorns, Kumbu-Thornspike, hiding inside a tree hollow, let out a heavy sigh.

The 【Law Fragment】 he possessed was only the 【Law of Insect Speech】, not 【Law of Insect Control】. Therefore, once the swarm slipped from his grasp due to mass deaths, he could no longer intervene effectively.

Secondly, the fourth trial’s environment was primarily dominated by plants represented by thorn vines. Poison mists and insects were only secondary elements.

Thus, the insects here were mostly ordinary creatures with nerve-numbing venom, but such toxins were useless against the equally poisonous thorn vines.

Moreover, Janna’s absolute control over those vines meant Kumbu-Thornspike’s venomous insects could not match them.

"The 【Law】 power she commands is definitely not an ordinary 【Secondary Law Fragment】—"

Bang!

While Kumbu-Thornspike was still deep in thought, over a dozen thorn vines suddenly slithered silently into his hollow and lunged at him with lightning speed.

Seeing this, realizing his hiding place was exposed, Kumbu-Thornspike no longer concealed himself. At the instant the vines attacked, he transformed into a Fire-Eater Ant that once swam freely in magma, using its metal-melting mandibles to bite apart the surrounding vines.

"I can only break through head-on!"

Not knowing how his position had been discovered, Kumbu-Thornspike abandoned the hollow after cutting the vines. He quickly chanted another spell, transforming into a dragonfly the size of a fist, its wings buzzing rapidly as it soared into the sky. "With Marquell-Storm’s 【Anti-Magic Ring】 included, I now have ninety points."

Relying on surprise attacks and exploiting the weakened state of other participants who had exhausted their mana in previous trials, Janna harvested six 【Anti-Magic Rings】 within mere minutes through the power of the 【Fragment of the Law of Growth】.

Soon, realizing the vines were under someone’s control, the remaining participants had no choice but to transform into flying creatures and hover in the air, not daring to touch the ground for even a moment.

But maintaining transformed forms for long periods was fatal to those who had barely meditated in the 【Meditation Array】 to recover mana, many already in severe overdraft. It became merely a matter of “dying sooner or later”.

Thus, before long, two participants dropped from the sky due to mana exhaustion, forced to activate their 【Anti-Magic Rings】 in regret, leaving the 【Bonsai Secret Realm】.

Adding those two rings, Janna had already collected nine 【Anti-Magic Rings】, tying with Louisto-Tulan for first place.

At the same time, as time passed, the remaining participants also began to realize.

Even through elimination, it was clear—the culprit behind this “thorn disaster” was none other than the elusive Janna-Roland!

"Ah——"

Another scream echoed. A participant, drained of mana, had secretly transformed into a loach to hide in the swamp, but Janna inevitably discovered him. Dozens of thorn vines surged, surrounding him without giving even a chance to resist, forcing him to activate his 【Anti-Magic Ring】 and be ejected from the 【Bonsai Secret Realm】.

"The tenth one."

After eliminating him, Janna finally surpassed Louisto-Tulan with ten 【Anti-Magic Rings】, taking the absolute lead.

"Rumble—"

Just as Janna was waiting for the next participant to “fall” from the sky, the deafening sound of a scene transition resounded.

"So, it’s already time?"

With another thunderous roar, the plant magic particles within the 【Bonsai Secret Realm】 began rapidly dissipating.

Soon, the Law power Janna wielded faded, and her body shifted back from vine form to human form.

"Up next, the 【Andrew-Gamp Transfiguration Trial】 will enter its final stage. This will be the hardest, and most spectacular round."

As John-Jones’s words fell, a rainbow torrent like a tsunami surged once more within the 【Bonsai Secret Realm】.

In an instant, the raging 【Elemental Tides】 swept across every corner of the secret realm, throwing its elemental particles into complete frenzy again.

"At last, the final round…"

For some reason, though only an hour and a half had passed, Gawen-Tull felt as though a long time had gone by.
