Infinite Disasters: I Hoarded My Way to Godhood novel Chapter 308

Chapter 308: Chapter 308: Mental Protection, Unable to Probe?

Danger struck.

In the brief moment they were suspended in mid-air, yet to land.

The eerie red petals, which were everywhere in the surrounding air, drifted down slowly.

As if sensing the aura of the living, they instantly swarmed toward Seraphina Sullivan as though they were alive.

Despite her best efforts to dodge, a few petals stuck to her like a persistent plague, lightly touching Seraphina Sullivan’s arm and shoulder.

Instantly!

A decadent sound, filled with temptation and charm, slithered into Seraphina Sullivan’s mind like countless tiny, venomous snakes.

The voice whispered and sang in her ear, full of endless promises and pleasure.

It tried to shatter her will, twist her perception, and make her sink into depravity and submit.

’Let go of your resistance... join the revelry... destroy that unsightly giant tree... and you will attain supreme pleasure...’

This mental corrosion was both sudden and bizarre.

For a moment, a look of confusion and struggle even flickered in Seraphina Sullivan’s eyes.

Her movements froze, as if in the next second she would be completely controlled by the voice, reduced to a puppet who had lost its sense of self.

But just in the nick of time,

The [Purple Gemstone Necklace] Seraphina Sullivan wore around her neck,

its inlaid gemstone suddenly glowed with an almost imperceptible purple light!

A cool, tranquil energy instantly flowed through her entire body like a fresh spring, rushing straight to her sea of consciousness!

Purple Gemstone Necklace - Item Effect: Mental Ward triggered!

The mind-bewitching, decadent sound was instantly dispelled and purified by this cool energy, as if it had met its nemesis.

Seraphina Sullivan shuddered.

Her eyes instantly regained their usual clarity and calm, and a cold sweat broke out on her back.

"I... I was almost controlled just now?!"

Her heart still pounding with fear, she immediately understood that the culprits were the seemingly beautiful and harmless red petals all around them.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Seraphina Sullivan, still holding Simon Holt with one hand, waved her free hand forward—

Skill [Clean Bubble] activated!

Countless transparent bubbles, shimmering with a rainbow luster and emitting a pure aura, appeared out of thin air, rapidly gathering and expanding.

They enveloped the space around her and Simon Holt.

As soon as the falling red petals came into contact with the bubbles, the charm energy attached to them was instantly purified and neutralized, as if they had met their natural enemy. They then fell harmlessly like ordinary petals.

Under the brief protection of the bubbles, Seraphina Sullivan’s feet tapped lightly on the ground. With a few swift and nimble leaps, she moved like a phantom out of the most chaotic part of the battlefield, where the petals were densest.

She finally landed behind a broken wall, relatively far from the center of the battle.

She let go of Simon Holt, whose legs had already gone soft with fear.

He plopped onto the ground, panting heavily.

Seraphina Sullivan, however, stared grimly at the death zone shrouded in the rain of red petals.

And at the woman standing at the edge of the battlefield, gently twirling a red umbrella, who seemed to be in control of everything.

The woman’s vibrant cheongsam, which was utterly out of place in the wasteland, and the nine enormous, gracefully swaying fox tails behind her that seemed to be made of flame and illusion.

All of this greatly astonished Seraphina Sullivan.

’Is she a Player... or some kind of humanoid monster?’ A strong sense of curiosity made her activate [Eye of Resume] without hesitation.
