4d17=(14)+(3)+(2)+(17)=36
[Knowledge Hunter's Intelligence is reduced by 36 points (=261)]
'No, this is—!' Snow Woman instantly became alert, realizing the unusual aura.
Although the Hero's surge of Magic Power disrupted the air inside the car with the sweet scent of the Curse, the Snow Woman, hollow inside, did not immediately wake up from the intoxicating sweet scent.
Without any hesitation, Snow Woman decisively reached out to push the car window, trying to call out to the soldiers outside.
However, at the same moment, the shadow under the seat started to wriggle violently, shaking angrily like a stepped-on venomous snake, then suddenly shot into the middle of the car.

D74+d100=d74(5)+d100(47)=52
[Will the Hero Counterattack?]
In the suddenly darkened car, the Hero's back glowed with a faint red light, and a black Phoenix shadow curled up in the hollow heart-shaped space behind her, reflecting on the walls of the car, the narrow Phoenix Eyes curved in a mocking arc, watching over the approaching Knowledge Hunter.
Accompanied by the wriggling shadows, it was like countless books were being opened at the same time, sounds of pages flipping echoed continuously in the car, knowledge assembled into Magic Curses, and Magic Curses pulled Magic Power and Magic Elements, releasing the phenomenon known as Magic.
This is the direct application of knowledge that humanity cannot reach, a completely Transcendental form of Spellcasting completed in an instant.
At the same time, as the opponent's Magic Power surged, the Hero also suddenly raised her head, her eyes bursting with a sharp light.
[Hero's Counterattack]
1. Warning from the Gleaming Scale Serpent♛
"Queen, the opponent is an Elemental Life, use Magic!"
At the moment Knowledge Hunter launched the attack, the Gleaming Scale Serpent in the Hero's head ornament immediately realized that the opponent was a being similar to itself and hurriedly spoke out to warn.
Although it knew very little about this seemingly identical Concept Life, it didn't hinder its understanding of this: the tightly clenched fist of the Hero could not harm the opponent.
[Hero's Counterattack]
1. Sacrifice (Explosion)
2. Chanting (Shamaness)♛
The casting of Knowledge Hunter's Magic was completed in an instant, the temperature inside the car soared dramatically, an unbearable heatwave sweeping through, causing Snow Woman's pupils to contract sharply.
But just as the heatwave approached, suddenly twinkling snowflakes drifted through the car, the fresh water vapor instantly replacing the heat.
The Hero's deep blue eyes, devoid of sadness and joy, watched Knowledge Hunter, her hands shimmering with a fish scale-like sheen, accompanied by an elegant dance, water light rippled from her fingertips, dissipating the spreading Explosion Flame into nothingness.
[Hero (Shamaness of the Seven Seas)]
Constitution: 135 (+15)
Intelligence: 136 (+36)
Perception: 112 (+26)
[Knowledge Hunter inflicts 73 points of damage on Hero]
[Hero suffers 73-52-45 (Armor) = 0 points of damage]
Then, her hands move ceaselessly, like a butterfly flitting among flowers, drawing elegant and smooth trajectories in the air, her waist gently sways to the rhythm of her body, although merely sitting, she seems to be dancing an intense dance.
Despite the lack of excessive jumping, her movements are filled with an indescribable charm, captivating to watch.
Then, she gently lifts her head, her neck forming a beautiful curve, singing a song without lyrics, meaningless yet reaching deep into the soul.
[Hero activates Skill: Wish Dance]
[Hero's Chant (100+Intermediate,200+High-tier)]
D113+d81+60=d113(85)+d81(71)+60=216
As the Hero's singing continues, with the melody echoing, clusters of deep blue, nearly black water balls quickly form in the air, bearing a metal-like heaviness, quickly converging and heavily enwreathing the Knowledge Hunter lurking in the shadows.
[Hero activates High-tier Magic: Deep Sea Prison]
Simulating the crushing water pressure beneath the abyss, it applies 2d100+60 imprisonment on the enemy.
Within the prison, all elemental activities are suppressed, the weak will be directly crushed by the water pressure.
[Imprisonment (Gleaming Scale Serpent D2+70)]
3d100+130=(34)+(35)+(81)+130=280
[Knowledge Hunter's struggle (DPerception)]
[Knowledge Hunter activates Skill: Automatic Recorder]
D222+D261=d222(219)+d261(48)
The heavy water from the deep sea swallows the light within the carriage once again, causing even the last flicker of weak firelight to dissipate.
Perceiving the danger, Knowledge Hunter seems to realize the predicament but is incapable of movement; its indistinguishable darkness convulsively shakes in place but cannot decide on a direction of action, as if wanting to flee, yet finds that all directions are iron-walled prisons, leaving it with no choice but to stand helplessly in place.
The Hero's consciousness unfolds with each clustering water ball, forming a net-like encirclement around the Knowledge Hunter, ensuring it's intercepted no matter which direction it tries to escape.
As the number of water balls increases, the elemental activities within the carriage gradually stagnates, the air becomes oppressively heavy, even the Snow Woman by the side begins to feel breathless,
The small carriage plunges into complete darkness, only the Gleaming Scale Serpent's Light Scales on the periphery illuminate the Hero's figure.
The frantic flipping of pages resounds again, accompanied by a sound as heavy as a bookshelf collapsing, as if someone is anxiously rummaging.
Just as this chaotic noise peaks, the trembling of Knowledge Hunter suddenly stops.
At this moment, the entire world falls into tranquility, even the faint disturbances from outside the carriage vanish in the Snow Woman's listening.
[Knowledge Hunter's Constitution Critical Success, Magic Class +1]
[Knowledge Hunter deploys Legendary Magic——]
Snow Woman's pupils suddenly constrict, realizing something extremely dreadful is about to happen.
This elite from the Church Outer Court finally regains her ability to act amidst the series of startling changes; she decisively raises her hands, icicle arrows bloom, directly pointing at the Knowledge Hunter at the center of the carriage.
But the next moment, faster than the arrows ready on the string, are the Hero's movements; her hands, unaffected by the oppressive force, loudly clap together.
[Knowledge Hunter's Intelligence insufficient, deployment fails]
The heavy oppressive feeling in the air vanishes, numerous deep blue, nearly black water balls, already fully formed, as if pulled by a powerful vortex, instantly merge toward the center where Knowledge Hunter is located.
These water balls don't shatter upon collision but smoothly and fluidly fuse into one another, increasing in size.
Finally, a smooth, waveless, tranquil, and heavy large water ball, just floats in the illuminated center of the carriage.
[Imprisonment (280) higher than Knowledge Hunter's Constitution (222)]
[Hero captures Knowledge Hunter LV37!]
