Chapitre 359: Coming In Clutch

What happened next was a scene out of every medusa movie out there... in fact, it was a very realistic depiction of such a scenario.

Neither a flash of light nor a sudden outburst of energy leaked out of Jessie when she activated her 'petrify' skill. Instead, there was a simple pause, as if time momentarily stopped the moment their gazes connected.

The creepy smile on Jessie's face was overwritten with a satisfied one as she licked her lips with her tongue. Her widened eyes turned into slits due to her smile, and she slowly slithered towards Link who had been frozen mid-run.

In that split second, Link actually felt the ominosity that leaked out of Jessie, and he was able to activate his skill. He was a step too late, however, and his skill didn't fully activate when he was hit with the petrification. Branches and leaves grew out of his sword and shield, seemingly trying to envelop him... but unfortunately, it didn't work out since he misjudged Jessie's attack.
