In everyone’s eyes, the rain was just an ordinary, continuous drizzle.
However, the moment those raindrops fell on the Black Mist Ball floating mid-air, the Black Mist Ball seemed to be melting bit by bit.
Strangely, unlike before when the mist ball turned into black water, it now transformed into specks of spiritual light, dispersing back into the rainwater.
The villagers were the first to sense the difference in this rain.
Especially those villagers who had been entangled by the Black Mist earlier and still had traces of evil qi lingering on them. As the rain fell on them, the discomfort around them vanished instantly, and even the spiritual energy within them became much more abundant.
It was then that everyone realized that this rain contained spiritual energy.
And it was extraordinarily pure spiritual energy.
Just like... the kind they had sensed from Samuel Chalmers before.
The crowd instinctively looked in Samuel Chalmers’s direction, only to see Scarlett Jennings still maintaining her pose with one hand behind her back.
That hand facing away from them was still forming the rainmaking hand gestures, while Samuel Chalmers stood behind her, performing the same hand gestures with one hand.
Their fingertips met, and Samuel Chalmers’s Golden Light mixed with Scarlett Jennings’s Spiritual Power dispersed into the rain curtain above their heads.
This drizzle, which appeared ordinary to everyone else, was seen clearly by Scarlett Jennings.
The rainwater, mingled with Samuel Chalmers’s Golden Light, seemed to be gradually washing and cleansing the gloom enveloping the village.
"What did you do?! What kind of rain is this?"
Nolan Snyder, who prided himself on his strength, didn’t expect his magic to be so easily dispelled by the opponent.
Scarlett Jennings certainly wouldn’t tell him that the rain contained Samuel Chalmers’s Golden Light, only cast him a cold glance,
"You don’t even know what kind of rain this is, pretty much a failure as an Evil Master.
But it makes sense too, this is one of the magic techniques our Taoism Academy developed specifically to deal with your strange Black Mist; any student capable of rainmaking can do this."
"Impossible!"
Nolan Snyder instinctively denied.
How could his Black Mist Ball be so easily dispelled, especially by a student with some talent?
How could that be possible? He’d never heard of it!
"There’s nothing impossible in this world. Just as there’s your kind of organization, there will always be magical techniques specially devised to counteract you."
Scarlett Jennings said it with an unwavering expression, and the calmer she appeared, the more apprehensive Nolan Snyder became, though he still didn’t want to believe it.
Stella Gibson was the type to stay alert, especially as she had collaborated with Scarlett Jennings numerous times. She immediately perked up,
"That’s why if you’re short on knowledge, you should read more books; technology is ever-evolving, and Mystical Techniques innovate daily."
Saying that, she changed her tone, her hands assuming the gesture for initiation,
"Scarlett, this rain doesn’t seem big enough; let me assist you!"
She raised her hand, quickly performed the Magic Gesture, her actions so swift they were almost invisible.
Nolan Snyder was already shaken and was immediately further distracted by Stella Gibson.
Scarlett Jennings seized the moment, withdrew the rainmaking spell, and swiftly deployed two Spirit Talismans.
Back then, the three strands of Phoenix Aura extracted from Lionel Strickland’s Phoenix Feather.
Scarlett Jennings infused those three strands of Phoenix Power into the Fire Talisman.
Meaning, the Fire Thunder Talisman, comparable to Heavenly Path Tribulation Thunder, could only be used three times.
The first time was used on Nolan Snyder.
The second time, she chose to use it on the person before her.
"Heaven and Earth Fire, Myriad Techniques Burn, Three Mao True Lord, with my divine sphere... using talisman as proof, thunder as the guide."
Nolan Snyder sensed the danger from Scarlett Jennings’s spell again, but this time he could no longer use the Black Mist Ball to force her to stop her magic.
As long as the rain continued, his Black Mist could not gather to form an attack.
Nolan Snyder harbored deep hatred and simply decided to turn and flee.
Greta had been keeping an eye on him, knowing he was the villain harming national precious artifacts, immediately flashed to block his escape route.
And just at that moment, Scarlett Jennings completed her last incantation,
"...Please, with the Imperial Decree, blaze and thunder in all directions!"
Rumble!
The originally foggy sky suddenly gathered black clouds, accompanied by a low cry resembling a Phoenix; a fiery lightning bolt slashed across the sky with a loud crack.
The sky suddenly seemed to open a huge chasm.
Samuel Chalmers saw Scarlett Jennings summon the Double Talisman Thunder Descent and couldn’t help but tense up but knew he couldn’t stop her, so he just looked up, fixing his gaze on the sky above.
The villagers, although lacking in combat power, had an acute sense of danger and, seeing the Heavenly Thunder, knew its might was significant.
Immediately, they hurriedly called out to move quickly away from the battlefield.
Only Greta remained blocking Nolan Snyder, her hand emitting evil qi, gripping him tightly.
