He had sung this song in Cui Beixi’s presence before. It was one of the few songs in his repertoire that didn’t possess the power of a war song, a fact that both Ning Yu and Avril were aware of. The misty fountain spray and the hazy light from the Night Pearl enveloped Helen’s body. Her song and dance captivated everyone in attendance, including even Avril, who was otherwise dissonant with Helen. Avril had to admit that Helen’s dancing was indeed enchanting, and each gesture was filled with an indescribable allure. Every sway of Helen’s slender waist, with its exaggerated and graceful curve, filled Avril’s heart with envy.
Oh, Amphitrite, the Sea Goddess!
As Avril admired and envied, he finished singing the last note, and Helen completed her last dance move. In reality, Helen’s dance was an impromptu performance. The once desolate Red Earth Highland suddenly became a true oasis in the wilderness. As the hostess, Helen was overjoyed, which was perfectly expressed in her smooth and perfect dance moves tonight.
As the descendant of a fallen nobility, Helen learned a few simple social dances from her deceased mother in her childhood. However, even then, she loved dancing so much that she’d incorporate special hand gestures into her war songs.
When he first began learning war songs on the island, he had asked Helen about those hand gestures. Helen explained that they were some habitual actions, not necessary components.
Her dance tonight was a blend of the hand gestures she used when singing war songs, her understanding of dance, and her cheerful mood. It was all spontaneously crafted on the spot.
But soon, something seemed wrong.
As Helen’s last dance move came to a halt along with the sound of the strings, many people saw a faint creamy white light circle burst from her body. The light circle vanished in a flash, and everyone thought they were seeing things.
Ning Yu and the Andulan elder were the first to sense the anomaly. They were sitting next to the goddess statue fountain, and the light of the Night Pearl atop the fountain spray was growing brighter. The Night Pearl was such that the longer it was exposed, especially towards the "Xiang Pa" moon, it could dispel the fog.
Despite the presence of the bonfire, other people may not have noticed it, but Ning Yu and the Andulan elder suddenly felt a darkening in front of them. Looking up, they saw the fountain on the goddess statue had extinguished, leaving a soft light leaking out of the bud-like tray that held the Night Pearl.
"Wei’er, look at that." Ning Yu pulled Avril, who was cutely licking her "ice cream", and pointed at the fountain on the goddess statue.
"You must be kidding?" Avril was astonished. The Magic Circle should be able to sustain itself for a week. Why did it fail after only a short while? The Magic Circle has its integrity; if there is anything wrong with the engraving of the Magic Circle, there wouldn’t be a fountain in the first place. Avril looked up at the goddess statue, puzzled.
It wasn’t until someone climbed up and retrieved the stack of shells engraved with Magic Circles that she realized the Magic Power in the shells used to engrave the Magic Circles had been completely depleted. Just as water evaporates in the arid desert, it disappeared clean and dry.
"Magic Dispel?" Avril’s delicate and beautiful nose twisted in anger. Who was so bored as to cast a Magic "Elimination Spell" on the small Magic Circle she had painstakingly engraved all afternoon?
"Was it the ’Demons Expelling Song’? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" The Andulan elder shook his head one wave after another. If he couldn’t identify whether the lord’s song was a war song after so many years, he wouldn’t last long. However, what baffled the Damai elder was that if it wasn’t the famous Demons Expelling Song in the Bimon War Song - ’Demons Expelling Song’, who else in the audience would have the ability to dispel magic? There were no wind Magic Tutors known for their Magic Dispel and Magic Elimination here.
"What happened?" He returned from the performance field with his violin in hand and immediately noticed that the fountain on the goddess statue was gone. Avril was there, looking upset.
"Who used Magic Dispel to destroy my fountain Magic Circle!" Avril thrust a stack of shells into his hands.
"It wasn’t me." He responded. He was well aware of whether or not he had used his song’s power. He wasn’t that bored to use his self-compiled war song in front of everyone.
As far as the "Demons Expelling Song", which can only be utilized by the Scepter Shaman, was concerned, he was sure he hadn’t figured it out on his own. This war song was similar to the high-level war song "Jiang’s Patience song". He wasn’t arrogant enough to think that he could create two high-level war songs in a single afternoon.
"So who was it? Could it be..." Ning Yu’s face turned towards Helen. The creamy white light circle from Helen earlier seemed to remind the observant Ning Yu of something.
"I know why, it was a Battle Dance!" Two figures slowly walked out of the bamboo forest, one mature and voluptuous, the other tall.
The jumping bonfire was like a dancing sprite. Helen who was having a lively conversation with the hippocampus poets looked up and froze. Then she joyfully rushed into the talking figure’s arms.
"Cui Beixi tutor?" He also froze, but not because of the beautiful snake tutor who had come to teach, but because of the girl behind the Medusa tutor.
The girl was wearing a silver Templar armor. She had a pair of beautiful and slender eyes, and platinum blond hair.
What surprised him was not her beauty but the pair of beautiful feathered wings that sprouted from her back.
"Oh! Can’t be an angel, right?" He pinched his nose.
