Everyone’s astonishment at Ava Zimmerman only lasted for a moment.
Given the current situation, no one had the mind to care about whether she was beautiful or ugly.
Scarlett Jennings immediately locked in on Ava the moment she appeared.
With a quick motion, Scarlett sliced her own fingertip, allowing blood to bead at the edge, and launched the Blood Pearl in Ava’s direction.
At the same time, with one hand, she initiated a Sealing; the crimson Blood Pearl shimmered a Talisman Light. With a commanding shout from Scarlett, it shot straight towards distant Ava Zimmerman.
"Break!"
...
"Scarlett, watch out!"
A low cry came from the Jennings Family’s ear, as a menacing Black Mist charged fiercely at Scarlett just as she dealt with Ava.
Dashiell also saw the situation there and wanted to assist, yet he had to stabilize the spinning carousel.
From the crowd, Luca Jennings suddenly dashed out.
His speed was extremely fast, running towards Scarlett’s direction without a second thought.
Even knowing he might be too late, even knowing that there’s little he could do, he still plunged forward recklessly, trying to reach the black mist that was about to engulf his daughter.
Scarlett’s peripheral vision caught a glimpse, her eyes flared in a start.
Yet in just an instant, she regained her calmness.
The left hand that had formed the Sealing remained steady. While her right hand, gripping the Peach Wood Sword, made a quick turn; the sword tip pointed skyward drawing the Void Talisman.
"...By the authority above, slash with thunder."
The sword tip that had formed the Talisman pointed in the direction of the Black Mist,
"Boom."
With that chilling voice, a burst of lightning accompanied by a rumbling explosion landed just one meter ahead of her.
Slicing right through the approaching black mist, splitting it into halves from the center.
At the same time.
Scarlett, focusing on her Spirit Talisman, precisely struck Ava Zimmerman’s brow from afar.
Ava let out a sudden scream of pain, her body stumbling backward after just managing to stand, clumsily falling once more.
And as Ava hit the ground, Dashiell noticed the unusually rapid pace of the carousel finally began to slow.
In less than a minute, the carousel slowy came to a halt.
The people who had been spinning on it were all dizzy, relying entirely on willpower to hold onto the handrails to avoid a fall.
As the carousel stopped, people still felt disoriented, as if the world was still spinning.
But it was Donovan Jennings who first reacted, signaling to the staff to immediately get everyone off.
Dashiell quickly let go of the carousel, ready to jump in to help.
In contrast, after giving instructions, Donovan jumped over the railing and to the ground, immediately running towards Scarlett’s direction.
The lightning earlier was dangerously close.
Scarlett had been enveloped by the Thunder Light, he needed to make sure she was alright.
Although Luca Jennings had been halted by the Thunder Light, he quickly came to his senses and rushed to check on Scarlett.
Scarlett saw the black mist that was struck by the Thunder Light, shaved to half its size, and gave a reassuring nod to the approaching Luca and Donovan who had worried looks.
In the next moment, looking down, her expression abruptly shifted.
Her dress! It had a singed patch!
Scarlett held the charred edge of her dress, feeling a twinge of heartache.
Knowing that Ava and the Evil Master behind her were scheming, she hadn’t expected them to make a move at her birthday party.
The dress from her aunt, and the amusement park from her brother.
Narrowly escaped being ruined by them.
