God-Tier Fishing System-Chapter 599

The two strongest three-legged Golden Crows remained perched high on the branches. They were the final guardians, unmoving as mountains.

"Roar—!"

Veyr, who had been forced back by a Golden Crow’s claws, finally erupted. His body twisted violently in midair as azure light exploded outward.

In the blink of an eye, his human form vanished.

A colossal Azure Dragon appeared, scales like divine steel, horns piercing the clouds, dragon might flooding the heavens.

The dragon’s roar rolled across the valley like thunder, layered with terrifying sonic force.

For a brief instant, the surrounding three-legged Golden Crows stiffened, their movements lagging by half a beat.

That half-beat was enough.

The demons accompanying Veyr instantly followed suit, abandoning their human forms and revealing their true bodies. Beast shadows filled the sky, demonic auras surging violently as their combat power leapt once more.

The previously one-sided pressure was abruptly overturned.

Alina, however, did not transform.

She stood apart from the chaos, golden sword in hand, her robes fluttering calmly despite the storm of power around her.

She was not a pure demon.

Her bloodline was predominantly human, with only a trace inherited from the ancient White March lineage.

Her golden eyes narrowed slightly.

In the next instant, her figure shot downward like white lightning.

"Secret Technique of Bloodline—Twin Spirits!"

As she flew, Alina formed a seal with one hand.

Her body split cleanly in two.

Two identical Alinas appeared in midair, expressions, aura, and strength perfectly synchronized.

They were not phantoms.

Nor were they mere clones.

They were spirit bodies—entities nearly indistinguishable from the true form.

The two remaining three-legged Golden Crows let out furious cries as they sensed the threat.

"Spirit body!"

"No—this is White March’s bloodline technique!"

"A spirit body that can fight independently for a quarter of an hour!"

The Golden Crows roared in unison, wings flaring as solar flames surged outward. They charged at the twin Alinas without hesitation.

They knew this technique well.

It could not be dispelled.

It could not be suppressed.

The way was to endure it head-on or kill hear.

Once a quarter of an hour passed, the spirit bodies would dissipate—and the human woman, even with divine weapons, would be vulnerable.

Ethan, hidden below among the rocks, observed the scene with faint interest.

"A perfect spirit body... identical combat power."

"This woman is indeed not simple."

Then his eyes sharpened.

"The opportunity is here," he said quietly.

"Move now."

With a wave of his hand, Ethan shot forward.

Kara, Elara, and Risa followed instantly.

Four streaks of light burst from concealment, slicing through the air toward the Hibiscus Sacred Tree.

Ethan was the fastest.

His figure blurred, lightning-like, leaving behind only a faint afterimage.

The crown of the Hibiscus Sacred Tree was vast beyond imagination. Its branches spiraled outward like a living firmament, and the nine hibiscus fruits were scattered across different regions.

There was no chance of taking all nine in one breath.

"Nearest four," Ethan transmitted calmly.

"Once you succeed, retreat immediately. Don’t be greedy."

"Understood."

The four separated mid-flight, each choosing a different direction.

The closest fruits were left to Kara, Elara, and Risa—so they could withdraw as soon as they succeeded.

The farther ones, deeper within the crown, Ethan took upon himself.

Above, the clash between Alina’s group and the Golden Crows was ferocious, drawing nearly all attention.

None of them noticed the four figures already slipping into the sacred tree’s domain.

Kara was the first to arrive.

She stopped before a hibiscus fruit no larger than a fist, suspended from a slender branch.

Green-gold light rippled across its surface, diamond-shaped patterns shimmering faintly.

The fragrance that washed over her was gentle... intimate... impossibly comforting.

It was like returning home after endless wandering.

Her shoulders relaxed.

Her breath slowed.

Elara and Risa experienced the same.

Their hearts, long tempered by danger and struggle, loosened without resistance.

Their eyes gradually closed.

They floated in midair, faces serene, lips faintly curved in bliss.

Ethan’s pupils contracted sharply.

So this was it.

The hibiscus fruit’s true defense.

A fragrance that lulled the soul, dissolving vigilance at the moment of closest desire.

Those who indulged in it would sink endlessly into illusion—alive, yet no different from the dead.

"Troublesome," Ethan muttered.

Golden light ignited in his eyes.

His mental energy surged like a tidal wave.

"Quiet."

The word was soft.

But it carried irresistible authority.

Golden runes condensed in the air, forming a faint halo that rippled outward.

"Wake up."

The sound pierced directly into the seas of consciousness of the three women.

The illusion shattered.

Kara, Elara, and Risa opened their eyes simultaneously, pupils trembling violently. Cold sweat drenched their backs, breaths coming in ragged gasps.

For a split second, terror flashed across their faces.

If not for Ethan—

They didn’t dare finish the thought.

"You were caught by the hibiscus illusion," Ethan said calmly. "It’s broken now."

"Move fast. Do not touch the fruit directly. Cut the branch with jade, seal it immediately."

"Yes!"

The three steadied themselves.

Jade knives appeared in their hands, along with prepared jade bottles.

Kara moved first.

The blade flashed.

The branch was severed cleanly.

The hibiscus fruit dropped soundlessly into the bottle.

A subtle tremor passed through her arms—but the fruit was secured.

Relief flooded her chest.

Elara and Risa followed, movements swift and precise, not daring to linger even half a breath.

Three hibiscus fruits—secured.

They exchanged glances, excitement blazing in their eyes, yet restraint holding them in place.

But at that very moment—

The Hibiscus Sacred Tree trembled. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

A deep, resonant crashing sound rolled through the crown, rapid and continuous, like waves breaking upon an unseen shore.

At the points where the hibiscus fruits had been taken, emerald light suddenly ignited.

The light expanded violently, then burst outward, spilling radiant green brilliance into the air.

This sign indicates that the hibiscus fruit has fallen, meaning it has separated from the tree, dropped on its own, or been picked by someone.
