Chapter 4045 Ferrian Anna Appears
Deep within the thick blood mist, somewhere far from Shad, the pink dragon maid, who was carefully walking through the blood-soaked ground, suddenly froze. She felt that part of the bubble she had left for Shad had vanished.
She didn't have a continuous perception of these bubbles; she could only know their state when she actively tried to perceive them. As for being able to immediately notice that the bubble she left for Shad was in an abnormal state, it was because Gina Rosa was constantly sensing Shad.
As for why she kept focusing on the bubbles on his body, only the Pink Dragon Girl herself could explain that.
She looked at the figure of Xia De beside her, only to be shocked to find that it was not Xia De at all, nor even an identical shell made of flesh and blood, but a phantom whose walking movements had been recorded and could be played repeatedly.
Fortunately, she was certain that the halfling girl she was holding was still a physical being.
Gina was about to remind everyone that Shad was missing, but then she suddenly had this question:
"If Shad is fake, then are the others real?"
When she realized this problem, she suddenly realized that although the halfling girl she was holding was breathing and had a heartbeat, she didn't seem to feel any pulse of blood flowing in her body.
As for Mrs. Gustav, who was walking ahead and holding the rope, the more Gina looked at her back, the more unfamiliar the figure seemed. Even the dragon maid's tail, which she had wrapped around her waist to prevent it from touching the blood, broke out in goosebumps.
"Oh, my Miss Ferriananna~"
She groaned softly to herself, sensing that something terrible was about to happen. And then, a sudden sound beside her ear almost made her jump, despite her feigned ignorance—
"Gina~ Gina~ Can you hear me? Gina~ Gina~ Saint Byron is calling Gina Rosa~"
"Head Maid Fiona!"
Gina almost screamed inwardly:
"Oh, it's those communication bubbles I left at the academy! They worked!"
But since her companions were all fake, Gina immediately thought of the old witch's warning earlier and suspected that the voice was also fake. Otherwise, it would be too coincidental for her to be able to contact the outside world after discovering that her companions were fake.
While Fiona, who was outside the immediate area, was unaware of the current situation, she anticipated that she would be suspected:
"Gina, this is the biggest secret I promised to keep for you—"
When you first joined the academy's maid corps, to prove your competence and not be inferior to the other dragon maids, you once tried to mop the floor while simultaneously manipulating a burlap sack and a broom with your hands and using your tail to wield a mop. However, you accidentally flung the mop away with your tail, knocking over the vase containing Miss Feliana's favorite red rose, a gift from Shad.
"I know! Head Maid Fiona, it really is you!"
Gina hurriedly interrupted her in her mind:
"However, how did you manage to contact me?"
Fiona's voice became muffled, clearly indicating that the connection was unstable.
"Because you just mentioned Miss Ferriananna's name in your mind. With the help of Teacher Brienne, and by using part of the principle of Shad's 'Moon Mark', the two demigod teachers temporarily gave the name 'Ferliananna' a special meaning. I don't really understand it either."
Fiona's voice became even more muffled, so she quickly sped up her speech:
"In short, without prior preparation of a medium, the teachers cannot physically come to your side to help you for the time being, but they can provide assistance in other ways. Gina, is Shad with you?"
The pink dragon girl continued walking with the group while silently responding in her mind:
"How did you know he was here? Oh, no need to answer, the teachers always know everything. But we're separated, and now I'm being followed by something very dangerous."
Fiona continued to speak faster; they were communicating in Dragon Language, a language with a much higher information content than the common language of this era, making the communication extremely rapid.
"As long as you can get one of the teachers to appear, no danger will be a danger! Gina, is it possible to find flesh and blood materials containing life force in your environment? This time, a sacrifice may be necessary."
Gina gave her answer almost immediately:
"There's an abundance of flesh and blood materials! They're all mutated flesh and blood, brimming with vitality; you can have as much as you want!"
"Alright, I'll tell you a secret technique. The teachers will contact you through your sacrifice at the cost of permanently destroying an artifact, and use the life force of those sacrificed to create a temporary body."
Remember, you only get one chance, and there's only one magic weapon.
The more complex ancient dragon language told Gina the specific details of the ritual. Unlike Emilia, who wasn't very good at ancient language, Gina was quite good at it. After all, the young dragons in her nest didn't like to play with her when she was young, so she could only pass the time by reading books and stone tablets.
"I understand, I understand, I will proceed with the ceremony immediately."
Fiona's communication ended after Gina recounted all the details of the ritual. Of course, before ending, she reminded Gina that the ritual that Miss Black Dragon (voice muffled) needed to perform regularly required Gina's return; moreover, Gina's research on the "Bubble Spell: Time Bubble" had made progress and needed Gina to try it out, so Fiona urged Gina to finish what she was doing as soon as possible.
"It's as if I don't want to go back."
The pink dragon girl grumbled inwardly for a moment, then looked again at the figure of the old witch ahead, who seemed completely unfamiliar to her. She kept walking, but in her mind, she was counting down:
"Three, two, one!"
She suddenly threw the unknown object she was holding at the "old witch" in front of her, and then broke free of the rope around her waist and ran away.
But then the rope revealed its true form, transforming into a filthy and bizarre umbilical cord. The cord attempted to connect to Gina's stomach, but a series of popping sounds rang out. The cord had already been severed by the bubbles released by Gina during their conversation, and the big-tailed dragon girl disappeared into the blood mist behind her in the blink of an eye.
Because she turned and ran, she didn't see the "half-man" she threw collide with the "old witch" in front of her, and the two bodies merged into one. This appearance resembled not only a two-headed ogre, but also somewhat like Megan and Audrey at certain times.
The bizarre, flesh-and-blood mutant completely shed its disguise as Gina ran into the blood mist. Its body proportions stretched into an indescribably strange shape, and it quickly chased after Gina on all fours.
The witch, who had been holding her breath and gathering her strength since the beginning, suddenly turned around and opened her mouth behind her:
"Roar!"
The "Gem Jet," a dragon breath unique to the Gem Dragon, erupted in the blood mist with that astonishing roar. Rustling crystals appeared almost simultaneously with the energy wave of the dragon breath, growing on the surface of the blood below where the dragon breath's trajectory had passed.
The flesh-and-blood mutant was then struck head-on by Gina's dragon breath, and after the dragon's roar ended, it had transformed into a gem sculpture covered in thorns.
But the sculpture was quickly dissolved by the blood below, and the aberrant creature, now active again, absorbed the blood and grew larger. At the same time, both heads simultaneously charged up and spewed forward.
What they spew out is not energy, but rather a foul, bloody liquid, like vomiting.
With a thud, the filthy liquid crashed into the transparent eggshell bubble shield that had unfolded around Gina. The blood quickly dissolved the shield and then slammed into Gina's body.
The illusion bubble burst, and Gina emerged from behind the now three-meter-tall behemoth. For the safety of her own flesh and blood, she couldn't reveal her true dragon form, but the power of dragons wasn't merely physical strength:
"Dragon Language Secret Technique: Ancestral Incarnation!"
The power of the arcane art traced back to the source of the bloodline, and the power of the ancient demigod dragon remnants in the bloodline of its descendants, responding to this call, appeared behind Gina as a shadow.
The height of the ancient dragons from the Mythical Era was far beyond what numbers could describe, but due to Gina's limited power, the black dragon shadow that appeared at this time was only thirty meters tall.
But that was enough. The black dragon shadow lowered its head and swallowed the mutated creature in front of it whole. Gina's face was a little pale from using this somewhat forbidden power in order to complete the ritual as quickly as possible, but she still quickly raised her right hand, which now displayed the golden academy emblem.
She clearly uttered the dragon language incantation in a low, hoarse voice, causing the spiritual energy to vibrate and disperse the surrounding blood mist. The black dragon shadow, after chewing, spat out a pure, semi-solidified essence of flesh and blood.
The academy emblem flew away from Gina's hand. Gina then tore off her right sleeve and painfully plucked a dragon scale from her tail, throwing the fabric and the scale over.
The semi-solidified essence of flesh and blood, the school emblem resonating with the artifact, the fabric, and the gem dragon scales merged together. Golden radiance shone forth, and at the very center of that radiance, a violet color, not belonging to this eerie place, bloomed.
"It's Miss Ferriananna!"
Gina smiled, and as the golden light gradually receded inward, she indeed saw Mana Feliana floating in the air.
To be precise, it was a very cute doll of Miss Ferriananna, only the size of two palms. The doll wore a black robe, her usual pointed hat, and her long golden hair and tall boots were, of course, perfectly suited to the size of the adorable doll.
"ah!"
Gina almost blurted out "So cute!", but thankfully, the doll opened its eyes and saw a look in them that belonged only to Miss Felian Anna, which made the dragon maid wisely refrain from saying it.
