The Devil's Betrothed novel Chapter 290

Chapter 290: A New Book

The tea cup in Rosetta’s hand disappeared as she stood up.

"Since my lovely apprentice dares to bare her fangs on her teacher, shall I not remind her why I am the teacher and not her?"

Oriana felt her entire body grow cold. It was a momentary lapse of judgment, a whimsical rebellious act, but she also knew her teacher was petty and she would show her no mercy.

"I did not mean to—"

Zap!

Rosetta attacked her before she could finish her sentence. It was the black lightning attack the witch loved to use as punishment, because it brought tremendous pain but showed little to no injury on the outside.

"Ahh!"

Oriana summoned a rune shield in haste, but since she was late to cast the spell, the attack reached her.

"Again," Rosetta said in a dry tone.

Oriana injected more magic to strengthen the defense of the black shield.

Zap!

Oriana successfully defended it, much to her relief. Rosetta seemed to have given her some slack, not attacking her a third time. Oriana used this chance to attack Rosetta. However, the woman did not even dodge. As her attack reached Rosetta, it disappeared like a bubble and not a single hair on the black-haired witch’s head was shaken.

"Too slow.

"Too weak.

"Too pathetic.

"Use your head, my stupid apprentice. You learned ancient runes, did you not? Augment your attack with them. ’Arrow’ will make it swift, ’Burst’ will expand its range, ’Bolt’ will strengthen its damage, then there is ’Orb’, ’Spear’ and ’Spike’. among many others.

"If this is a life-and-death scenario and you keep using the same attack pattern, you would be first to die," Rosetta said.

Oriana recalled their respective spells and applied it in combat.

Both teacher and student continued to exchange attacks until Oriana exhausted her magic reserves. While she panted, Rosetta continued to appear elegant and unruffled, standing as if she was merely a lady admiring an interesting flower in a garden.

Oriana could not help but admit she was learning fast and learning well. Rosetta’s contempt was intentionally stirring her desire to learn, pushing her repeatedly beyond her limits.

It was annoyingly effective.
