Chapter 262 Breaking the Stone
The man was clearly left speechless, but he still warned Joanna.
“Don’t play word games with me. I’m warning you, you’re disrupting the order of the Divine Battlefield.
“And what right do you have to warn me? I’m Helen Carpenter’s student. She’s my professor. I came to save her. What’s wrong with that? And who are you, anyway p>
Joanna revealed her title.
A title was something anyone connected to the Space Alliance system could see.
Which academy you belonged to and what achievements you had earned-all of it was displayed in the title.
“Divine and Demonic Academy, 26th Epoch, Class of 1117, Top Student, Mythic-level Summoner”
Seeing Joanna’s title, the man froze, then his gaze wavered.
“I’m the captain of the pioneer team. This area’s under my control. I don’t care who your professor is. This is the battlefield. Even if someone’s mother came, it wouldn’t matter. Using an evil god to slaughter evil god spawns is the most efficient way. Don’t mess things up here p>
In that instant, Joanna’s anger hit its peak.
“So what’s your plan, exactly?
“To leave my professor here and use Hastor to keep killing monsters, while you loot the drops right in front of him?
“He has Level 96 combat power, and you’re keeping him here farming Level 60 monsters?
“You’re wasting a Mythic-level fighter.
“You’re all insane.
“Just because of this, my professor has been stuck standing here for a full month?
“Get lost p>
Joanna’s fury exploded. The whip formed from black dragon scales lashed out viciously.
That professional was also Level 60. Facing a Level 30 Mythic-level professional, he wasn’t
1/4
afraid.
Even when the whip swept toward him like the tail of some colossal beast, he still raised his hand to block it.
“Undying Grip p>
An Epic-tier control skill used by warriors.
But in the very next moment, the brutal force carried through the whip sent him flying.
“Dragon’s Power,” “Overgod Flesh,” “Dragonblood Warlord p>
When it came to raw power, who could compare?
Ever since contracting with Joanna, Troy hadn’t had many chances to show himself. His combat power wasn’t ideal for speed-farming.
But in close combat, in true one-on-one fights, he was stronger than Nighthowl, Alwyn, and Lucien combined.
The abilities Troy granted made Joanna impossible to shake.
And abilities like gigantification were entirely supported by raw power. Joanna’s Symbiotic Fusion was something only professionals above Level 60 could normally achieve.
After sending the pioneer team captain flying with a single strike, Joanna finally reached Hastor’s side.
Hastor didn’t attack her.
Still, remembering how these people called Hastor an evil god and how Helen herself had struggled to control this contracted beast, Joanna decided to offer tribute.
A stream of cakes was summoned by Joanna and, guided by her spirit, delivered toward Hastor.
While using his tentacles to sweep aside giant pythons, Hastor showed a satisfied expression, accepted the cakes, and stuffed them into his mouth.
Mm, not bad.
It had been a month since he last ate. Eating really did improve his mood.
Joanna finally relaxed.
Besides bribing him with cake, Joanna’s affinity aura also played a role. More importantly, she truly held no hostility toward Hastor.

“Hastor, may I take a look at Professor Carpenter p>
Hastor paused for only a moment before his massive tentacles parted slightly, revealing Helen’s
statue.
Joanna immediately shrank back down to normal human size and moved to Helen’s side.
Just from this examination, she understood how bad the situation was.
Helen wasn’t just petrifying herself. Her feet were fused with the ground, and the ground itself was petrified as well.
The petrified zone spanned a full mile.
Even if she cut the statue and the surrounding ground free, moving it would be hell. There was no way to carry it through the Divine Gate and return to the academy.
On top of that, the Divine Battlefield itself had terrifying density.
More precisely, the plants and soil here were extremely hard to damage. Their strength, toughness, and hardness were astonishing.
In fragile dimensions, a professional could punch a planet apart.
Here, a punch would only leave a shallow crater, which would quickly repair itself.
Super-dense ground combined with petrification locked Helen firmly in place.
Joanna controlled her petrification ability and finally focused her gaze on Helen’s feet.
She would separate her feet from the ground first.
Joanna concentrated on Helen’s boots, activating the petrification modifier.
Mana surged like a flood.
An hour passed.
The big toe of Helen’s boot slowly shifted from stone-gray to its original color.
It worked.
Joanna steadied herself.

And as she continued operating the ability, another realization formed in her mind.
314
I don’t actually need to dispel the petrification. This is power released by an evil god. The gap between me and that kind of existence is too great. But just like how dungeons absorb evil god’s power, why can’t I directly absorb the petrification modifier instead?
