Chapter 212 The Unquenchable Wildfire
Just as Lin An was about to set off, Doris appeared before the New Tower of Babylon like a comet.

First came the booming sound of the building collapsing, followed by screams and cries from the crowd, disrupting Lin An's plan to parachute into Wood Villa and fight Doris to the death.

This is not a big deal, since when the real battle comes, there is no time to be fully prepared.

As previously agreed, Lin An had Joshua leave Elysium, and then he and the witch teleported to the streets near the Tower of Babylon, where they observed the situation in the sky and continued with their plans.

Two figures clashed fiercely in the air, their battle intense as darkness enveloped the earth and the sky was covered with tearing patterns.

The sun was driven into distant space, and fear surged everywhere, relentlessly assaulting our faces.

Due to the limitations of the rating system in the Mysterious Encyclopedia, Lin An only saw a string of green data floating up and down, which was the panel representing Doris.

He squinted, his mind racing.

"System, it's time."

"Based on the entry 'The Encyclopedia of Magic V: Halfway to Divinity - Wanderers Ask Heaven and Earth,' a solution that meets the criteria was found: 'The Folk-Singing Flatterer.'"

"Consume 1 'Seeker', 1 'Prophet', and 1 'God of Agriculture' to use this?"

"How effective is it?" Lin An asked.

"The success rate is less than 5%," the system replied calmly. "Use it?"

"hold on."

Lin An knew that this was Doris's "Guardian Soul" magic. She seemed arrogant and conceited, but in reality she was cautious in her actions, especially in battle.

Influencing this source-level enigma with a legendary entry requires a suitable opportunity.

In mid-air, the battle between Doris and Joshua reached its climax. Both of them were covered in wounds, bleeding blood of different colors, which were quickly healed by their own energy.

However, Joshua's condition remained unchanged, while Doris's body increasingly resembled a goddess statue covered in gold powder.

Her aura was solemn and dignified, her skin sprouted colorful gems, and the speed of her movements slowed down.

"The success rate is currently less than 30%," the system announcement sounded again.

Indeed, the "Mother of Desire" is the only medium whose mysterious effects gradually decrease as the level of pollution increases.

Although Doris is not the true "Mother of Desire" in essence, she was merely given the mystique of the Asherah Psalms.

"System, apply this entry to the target five times."

As Lin An pondered, he turned the Philosopher's Stone, and a sudden reverie overwhelmed Doris's eyes.

She immediately sensed it; the protective magic collapsed inward, expelling the energy that distorted her perception.

Unlike the battle at the warehouse, this time it took her a full half minute to completely eliminate the power of the Philosopher's Stone.

As Doris was multitasking, the melodious and enchanting Roma language began to play softly, like a dream, surrounding her ears and making her grit her teeth in annoyance.

Stringed zither, no longer guard the hanging nails, letting the clear sounds on the seven strings fall silent;
Come quickly into my hands.

I wish to present you with scenery from all over the world.
To traverse every mountain in the world and cross the North Pacific Ocean on a luxury cruise ship;

The Brahman palace was adorned with gold and ivory, and the Slavic sun passed over the king of Levi;
It allows you to strategize and plan while you drink.

The witchcraft and strange spells were mixed together to form rhythmic folk songs, and the cunning words were repeated endlessly, which finally succeeded in confusing Doris's imagination.

Twenty-one strange tarot cards, made from keys, were arranged in a fan shape and fell like rain from above Doris's head according to the melody and scale of the song.

【The Folk Singer and Flatterer】, from the Prophet entry in "The Encyclopedia of Magic V", once it takes effect, causes the individual to unconsciously focus on a certain place. Once something unusual happens there, the individual will immediately toss and turn and be unable to shake it off.

After dispelling her mental illusions, Doris was completely unaware of the "prophet's" mysterious magic. She simply looked around and heard what sounded like someone lip-syncing to the words, "Ghost, you deserve to die!"

Lin An felt that with Doris's intelligence, she could probably guess that he was a "seeker of knowledge," but it was this self-righteous information gap that led her into the trap.

A seeker of knowledge can only use one type of mystical spell at a time, and there is a certain time interval between consecutive uses.

When Doris was attacked by the "psychic illusion," she thought it was Lin An casting a spell and subconsciously attributed the singing to the illusion, ignoring the "prophet's" strange behavior.

The mystical arts of prophets can kill without leaving a trace. Afterwards, it may seem that there is no harm done, but in reality, the logic of the target has been gradually altered.

Moreover, Doris's Torah is suspected to be a "seeker of knowledge," inherently restrained by the "prophet."

After focusing her attention on a specific area, Lin An closed her eyes.

"System, use the entry 'Ashes of the Saints II: Yemaia' - [Creation of a Spiritual Portrait]."

A soul that died in chaos is bound by witchcraft, and a complex relationship is formed between it and him.

The portrait of the non-mystic is unconscious. Lin An sent him back to his own corpse, turned the Philosopher's Stone, and transformed the inorganic life form into metal.

"Use 'The Complete Book of Magic II - The Creation of Alchemical Puppets'."

The alchemical golem moved as if it had a life of its own, naturally blending into the shouting crowd around it.

It's the afternoon of March 31st. Dietrich has not yet welcomed the warm early summer. People are wearing long-sleeved jackets, and in the chaos and darkness, the unusual skin color of the alchemical golems is completely invisible.

After completing the alchemical puppet, Lin An had the witch teleport the [Bottle Man] to its side, using the puppet as cover to hide it.

He glanced at the sky; the data panel showed that Doris's pollution level was rising steadily, eventually settling at 65.6%.

Low-rated Mystics will descend into madness at 60%, retaining only a small portion of their sanity, but high-rated ones seem to have a higher tolerance limit. When Lin An first encountered the Thunderbird, its pollution level had exceeded 80%, yet it still maintained its ability to think.

Doris used Canaanite magic throughout, relying on the original Asherah Psalms to deal with Joshua, and each time she used this mystical spell, it greatly increased her level of corruption.

Despite remaining clear-headed, as the numbers surged, the Canaanite magic belonging to Tora grew increasingly weak.

Despite the increasing power of the Asherah Psalms, Doris's movements became increasingly stiff, her joints no longer flexible, and she moved like a robot.

Now she urgently needs to use the principle of "awakening absorption" to reduce pollution. Misled by the "folk ballad flatterer", Doris notices the alchemical golem mixed in with the crowd.

The magic that unleashed the hidden space confused Joshua, and Doris changed direction, charging towards the alchemical golem.

In that instant, Lin An immediately immersed his consciousness into the alchemical puppet and synchronized with it. The miniature white-haired boy jumped out from the alchemical puppet's chest and pounced on the unsuspecting Doris.

The Philosopher's Stone, which had long since seeped into the depths of her soul, and the little man in the bottle, also an alchemical creation, immediately created a profound resonance.

As Lin An had the thought of "using the Naming Rights of the Animal Kingdom in the Complete Book of Magic II", Doris felt as if a part of her soul was forcibly pulled out and merged with the little figure in the bottle, breaking free from the shackles of the body and reaching a spiritual realm that did not belong to her.

"what!"

Doris let out a heart-wrenching scream, and the magic protecting her soul flowed wildly and relentlessly.

The pentagram and Hebrew culture formed hundreds of angel wings, and holy feathers slowly drooped down, wrapping her whole body in the shape of an eggshell, but it was too late.

The mystery imposed on her by the "Mother of Desire" left her body, leaving only faint remnants.

At this moment, Doris may have finally gained the freedom she had always sought, escaping the sacrificial fate arranged by Xion.

But she fell into the trap of the ghost!
She lost everything!
"Ghost! Ghost! Ghost!"

The angel's shadow and the pentagram's eerie blue light dimmed, and she screamed shrilly like a madwoman, her usual well-mannered young lady demeanor completely forgotten.

"I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you!"

Doris scratched her cheek with her sharp fingernails, making a metallic "crunching" sound.

The blood stopped flowing, and her skin was now just a sculpture of gold and gemstones.

Within seconds, Doris regained her composure, glanced at Lin An who had been teleported there by the witch, and then turned to the other side.

The thunder was deafening and the lightning was so bright it almost blinded her; Joshua was less than a few dozen meters away from her.

"I will never let you succeed!" Doris maintained her proud stance and shouted sharply, "No net can imprison me! I am a free individual with independent will!"

"Your freedom comes at a far too high price."

Behind Joshua, canyons and a red sea appear in turn. Amidst the phantom of the "Comers" energy, the new Tower of Babylon looms in and out of sight. People fleeing in all directions are like pale little people from a lost paradise, desperately escaping the death hell she has opened.

"When a person is deprived of the right to live the life she desires, she has no choice but to become an outlaw."

A bronze weapon, gleaming with the scent of blood, appeared in Doris's hand. She gave a chilling smile, and bronze armor, resembling that of a goddess, sprouted from her head. She then thrust her left leg into a horse stance and hurled the spear at Joshua.

"You dare to judge me? What right do you have to judge me!"

The Asherah Psalms have been studied by the Lamechites for over a thousand years and are naturally superior to the mystical teachings of the Enochians, although the latter certainly had ways to counter them, but Joshua, who had lost his memory, knew nothing of them.

"Pfft!"

The victory horn had sounded, and the spear drew a sharp arc, piercing through the strange phenomena of mountains and seas, striking him squarely in the heart.

Joshua had a hole about three or four centimeters long pierced through his chest. His bones were broken, his internal organs were shattered, and blood splattered everywhere. His eyes lost their luster.

The sacred brass-colored snake tattoo meandered upwards, busily repairing the gaps in the weapons thrown by the Canaanites.

Revival takes time.

Joshua's body, having lost its support, plummeted into the water with a "plop," splashing water everywhere. The icy river quickly swallowed him, leaving only ripples.

Raising her head, which was almost immobile, Doris turned around with difficulty, staring with bloodshot eyes at the figure covered in green code, floating like a ghost.

Lin An's pupils also reflected her magnificent figure.

The pale-faced, short-haired woman now resembled an ancient pagan idol, recounting the indomitable legend of her ancestor Cain passed down through generations.

The goddess Asherah summoned her ten chariots and ordered her golden cloak to be delivered to her.

Today she will set off, crossing the sky to the temple of Baal.

Today she will set off, soaring through the sky to defy her mad destiny.

Some say her name is Star, others say it's Desire; her secret name is Ioster, she is an inextinguishable flame.

Hetti and the heir of Canaan locked eyes.

Doris's angry voice pierced the sky, while Lin An expressionlessly curled his little finger.

His thoughts and her roar arose at the same time.

"Use 'The Complete Book of Magic I: Necromancy, Fertility, and the Dark Earth - The Ritual of the Hittites' - [The Nine Pitfalls of the Sun Goddess]!"

"Even if it means death, I will kill you, Ghost!!!"
