NOVPUBChapter 330: Twenty-two Use my power (4K5)_3
But Hewinia didn’t give up. When she attacked Arianna with the Second Note and Third Notes spells, she was still infusing magic power into the ground beneath her feet.
She was preparing “Third Notes·Man Dance.”
It was the spell that had helped her defeat Aiman a few days ago.
Arianna was undoubtedly much stronger than Aiman, so Hewinia had to prepare a “Man Dance” much larger in scale than that of a few days ago.
Therefore, before that, she had to use other spells to delay…
Suddenly, Hewinia’s eyes widened, and her entire body stiffened abruptly.
The spell halfway through was forcibly ended, and the Man Dance she had prepared for so long returned to its origin in an instant.
She thudded to her knees on the ground, her whole body wracked with stabbing pains.
“Oh, it’s finally taken effect,” Arianna’s airy voice floated over.
Hewinia fiercely raised her head, staring intently at Arianna not far away.
“What… have you done?”
Hewinia felt that all the magic channels in her body were blocked, preventing her from casting any spell.
“What have I done… what do you think?”
Arianna stood in front of Hewinia, smiling sweetly at her.
“Did you never wonder why, despite having already decided to deal with you, I would give you my private score?”
“Was it really just to let you use my spells against me?”
Hewinia tried to stand up, but Arianna pinned her head down with a magic wand.
“Miss Hewinia, you’re always like this, always thinking you can control everyone,” Arianna said with a smile, “Like Orenna, and that fellow Ogg. But have you considered the possibility that you could control them not because you are clever, but because they… are simply fools. However, this world isn’t just full of fools.”
“That fellow Aiman, you killed him, right?”
“Logically, you shouldn’t have been able to beat that guy, but you did. Even if I don’t know by what means, how could I not take precautions?”
Arianna said gently.
“In those scores I gave you, I added some special notes. Used alone as scores, they wouldn’t have any side effects, but once you use them in combination or repeatedly, they take effect like now.”
Arianna tapped Hewinia’s head with the wand, just as she often did when Hewinia was distracted during lessons.
“If you had an exceptional perception of scores like me, you would certainly have noticed something odd about these scores. Unfortunately, you don’t have that gift, you’re just a… very lucky fool. Both the Golden Note and Golden Score are wasted on you, so, why not give them to me?”
Arianna slowly moved the wand downward, gradually lifting up Hewinia’s clothes as the golden scores and notes slowly revealed themselves. Finally, a covetous gleam appeared in Arianna’s eyes.
“Perfect, just perfect,” Arianna whispered, “Only something this perfect deserves me. I really can’t wait any longer. Ah, I almost forgot.”
Arianna suddenly remembered something, waved her wand again, and gently tapped it on Hewinia’s throat.
Hewinia’s eyes widened as she felt a wave of intense pain spreading in her throat, and though she tried to scream, no sound would come out.
“I’ve heard that when a score is stolen, it feels like being flayed,” Arianna said with a smile, “I’m sorry, I’m too kind to bear such a sound, so I’ll just need you to be a bit quieter.”
After these words, Arianna plunged the wand into Hewinia’s body.
At that moment, the notes and scores on Hewinia’s back shuddered simultaneously, and the ensuing intense pain almost made Hewinia pass out.
“I can feel it, I can feel it!” Arianna exclaimed, watching as the notes and scores climbed onto her body, unable to keep her previous calm and becoming agitated.
As for Hewinia, her vision blurred.
She could only feel her consciousness and life force rapidly fading.
But at that moment, from the deepest recesses of her mind, came a voice that seemed to draw one into the Abyss.
“It’s time, Hewinia.”
“Use… my power.”
