Chapter 1377 Bloody Rose
"You bastard!" The woman shouted while slicing the trees down.Her movement had been restricted this whole time because of the terrains that Jeff created, but she hadn't exploded this whole time because she managed to hit Jeff once in a while.
His injuries added one after another as the blood continued to fall to the ground.
"I should be the one to say that." Jeff kept running away while using his power to restrain her for as long as he could, hoping that someone would help him soon.
This was a battle between a Knight and an Illusionist, but because of his plant affinity, his illusion was weaker compared to other illusionists. So, he ended up getting suppressed.
Jeff continued moving around as the trees gradually disappeared. In just a few minutes, the insane woman managed to cut down half of the trees he summoned earlier.
"Can you stop chasing me and just wait here until my friends come to help?" Jeff asked.
"Hahaha. Just surrender. But because you didn't accept it earlier, I'm going to give you a cruel death." The woman laughed as her confidence kept rising.
Jeff's condition became worse as more trees were chopped down.
It took him another three minutes before Jeff finally stopped in his tracks as if he had given up. He panted a few times while looking at the woman.
"Finally giving up?" The woman smirked, getting a bit arrogant.
"Ah, I really can't do this. I guess I don't need other people's help." Jeff sighed as the trees he summoned earlier had been completely chopped down. Not even a single tree remained. "You don't even care about the forest."
"What bullshit are you spouting again?!" The woman roared. "There are no more trees and your condition is already that bad. I'm going to kill you right now!"
Jeff couldn't refute it since his condition was certainly bad. He was covered in injuries and lost a lot of blood. Even his head had become fuzzy.
Still, he wasn't someone who would give up that easily. His eyes still had their focus.
"I will die sooner or later due to the blood loss if I don't treat this, but the first person that will die is not me." Jeff smirked, looking at the woman as if implying that she would be the first to die.
"What did you say?"
When the woman was about to charge again, Jeff suddenly raised his hands as if he had surrendered.
"So, you're going to surrender. But it's too late. I'm going to make you experience something worse than death." The woman laughed uncontrollably.
"You are truly a fool. I am nothing but a painter, I obviously can't fight you head-on… After all, the only thing I can do is painting." Jeff smirked.
Suddenly, the entire forest glowed brightly.
"Huh?!" The woman was stunned for a second and saw all those red lights coming from the ground. When she lowered her head, she found that the ground wasn't the one that shone, it was his blood. In that instant, she understood what Jeff had been planning to do this whole time. "You… You used your own blood as the paint and your body as the brush?"
"Correct and the reward is…" Jeff smirked and snapped his finger. "Bloody Rose."
If one took a look at the battlefield from above, they would realize that the blood trace actually managed to draw a sketch for a rose.
And they were right inside that rose. The woman didn't realize it until now because of the trees that Jeff summoned earlier, covering her eyes to see what was important.
Even if she wanted to leave right now, she was in the middle of the painting. It was too late to escape.
The rose finally emerged from the ground, reaching the sky. Jeff was standing on top of its petal while the woman was enveloped by the remaining petals in the center of the rose.
"Tsk." The woman gritted her teeth as she was completely surrounded by the petals. She raised her sword to blast everything around her, but a spike came out of the petal like a thorn.
"!!!" The woman was startled and immediately raised her shield, blocking this spike.
However, another spike came from the petal behind it, causing the spike to pierce through the petal on its way, taking the woman by surprise.
"Tsk!" The woman hurriedly tilted her body to the side, but the spike still scratched her.
"It's coming from everywhere and even from behind those petals. I can only…" The woman raised her shield again and formed a sphere that blocked everything.
More and more spikes came to her but got destroyed because of the sturdy shield.
"I can withstand these spikes for a while until I find a solution. Besides, that guy is dying from blood loss as well, so I can hold out until he dies." The woman thought.
However, she felt the Magic Power rampaging on her arm where the spike grazed her earlier.
"Huh?!" She widened her eyes in shock and saw a rose coming out of the wound when the blood was enough to draw that rose.
At the same time, the blood on her sword and her armor suddenly turned into spikes and pierced through her body.
"What?! His blood got into my equipment too?" The woman was shocked as her face became horrified with the thought that the blood in her body would become spikes as well.
But that kind of thought and shock made her forget about the shield and the rampaging spikes from the outside. Just for a split second, the sphere became weaker, allowing the spikes to finally shatter the barrier.
"Not good!"
Unfortunately for her, she couldn't do anything as the spikes pierced all over her body. Her death was indeed a brutal one.
Jeff, who could feel what happened inside, ended up sitting down while looking down on the battlefield with his sad eyes.
"This is why I don't like fighting. I don't like the idea of using blood to paint because I don't want to be cruel." Jeff sighed.
