Chapter 37: The Battle of Revenge (I)

When the Sword of Dawn stabbed into Lijie's chest, the Blood of Eternity closed its eyes.

There is no help.

Even if he rushed down to repair Lijie's body, he couldn't save her soul, which was breaking away from her body. Without the protection of the body, the soul without support will quickly dissipate without a trace.

In the last seconds of Lijie's life, the "Eternal Blood" saw her face. A mixture of consternation, pain, and dismay—that's the kind of expression on the faces of the battlefield dead. However, when this expression appeared on the faces of familiar people, "Eternal Blood" was still unwilling to face this fact.

You think you've turned a blind eye, but you're just deceiving yourself.

“…… No. ”

If I hadn't come so late.

If you had been aware of the enemy's conspiracy a long time ago.

If I hadn't been so rash in the first place.

If......

That's not how it ended!

“…… No! ”

A special emotion rises from the heart of the "eternal blood". It had been a long, long time since he had felt this emotion. At first, it was a little spark, then a burst of fire, and finally a raging flame.

When the "Eternal Blood" opened his eyes again, all he had in his eyes was "anger".

……

Unbeknownst to the "Eternal Blood", when Lijie died, Goth's mind moved slightly, and she took her soul into the "Palm of the Underworld" in her hand.

The tide of war is moving beyond imagination...... Maybe I should show up and join the fight right away, Goth thought. But the young mage hesitated, but stayed where he was. His mission is not to fight, as long as he secretly protects Lin Na and the others.

"Yike...... Ha ......"

Linna gritted her teeth and pulled out the spear that had stabbed her shoulder. Blood gushes like a fountain. If it's more than blood, it's going to be a problem. In normal times, Lin Na didn't mind tearing off the placket to make a simple bandage for herself. But now, the enemy is now, and she has to use the secret ritual she has recently cultivated.

"The 'Flame of Nirvana' ......!"

A cyan flame ignited from the wound. The flame did not burn the wound, but allowed it to heal quickly and quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye. With the sound of "bang", the shattered bones gradually returned to their original shape, and the flesh began to grow slowly.

But the female swordsman did not show a relaxed expression. She frowned, desperately enduring the pain from the wound. The "Sacred Flame of Nirvana" can indeed repair the damaged body, but it will also cause the performer to suffer the same pain as when he was injured again, plus the pain caused by the flames. Taken together, the pain caused by the "Flame of Nirvana" has long outweighed the injury itself.

"Hmm...... Uh......"

Lin Na was already soaked in cold sweat, and she tried her best to keep herself from exhaling in pain. She has never been afraid of getting hurt, but she still underestimated the pain of this secret ritual. If it's to repair a more serious injury...... Halfway through, you'll lose consciousness due to the pain. It is no wonder that this secret ritual is not difficult to cultivate, but very few secret ritual warriors are willing to specialize in cultivation. Legend has it that there is also a secret warrior who was mortally wounded but was reborn like a phoenix with the "sacred flame of nirvana", so what kind of terrifying willpower is needed? Or are these stories just fictions for posterity?

Lijie's spear skills are extremely difficult. If it weren't for the fact that his adoptive mother, Mrs. Clemens, had demonstrated similar marksmanship when she taught herself, she might have died at the hands of an ordinary person.

The "blood of eternity" has fallen from the sky.

In Linna's eyes, this white-clothed spellcaster who swooped down from the sky would never be better to deal with than Lijie. Therefore, even if she endured unimaginable pain and lost some physical strength, she could not let the wound continue to bleed......

Luckily, the silver-masked eccentric – presumably a young man – didn't immediately attack himself. Through the mask, Lin Na couldn't see his expression. He walked straight up to Lijie's corpse, muttering something as if he were muttering something in his mouth. Then, he gently picked up the body of the fallen female general and placed it behind a large rock not far away.

Lijie's body was covered with tiny wounds pierced by the "Sword Light Net". Blood stained the masked man's spotless white robes.

Let Lijie's body lie flat on the ground, and the masked man's fingertips glowed golden. It was some kind of healing magic, and Lijie's bruised body was quickly repaired. Finally, the Masked Man folded Lizzie's hands over her chest—even her expression looked a little calmer—and stood up to look at Linna.

"He's ......" In the distance, Goth, who was watching the battle, couldn't help but feel a tightness in his heart. You can't go wrong. I have seen this man in the empire myself. At that time, he claimed to be an envoy of Okade. According to the information he got afterwards, his true identity should be ......

The female swordsman breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. It seems that the other party is a priest - of the three major spellcasters of mage, mystical warrior, and priest, the priest is the one who is relatively the least adept at fighting alone. Even if she lacked physical strength, Lin Na was confident of winning a complete victory against a spellcaster who did not specialize in combat.

"She's yours...... Lovers? Linna asked.

"No," replied Eternal Blood, "and never will be." ”

…… Fake calm. Is it because of the relationship of forcibly restraining emotions?,Some chaotic images popped up in the mind of "Eternal Blood".。 Was that what I had experienced on Earth before I crossed over? Whatever.

The throbbing "anger" in his chest was genuine. Ever since he got the "Eye of Chaos", his temper has become strange. For the first time, Eternal Blood felt that there was nothing wrong with that. Having been in contact with mages with gloomy personalities for a long time, "Eternal Blood" has long regarded "anger" as a purely negative state.

However, no one has the right to blame themselves for their current anger. No one has that power.

It's not that the power of the Mystic Warrior has distorted his personality. Originally, he was a pretentious conspirator. I'm just embracing my true nature.

I don't know how long I've been depressed. Spanning two worlds. For the first time, "Eternal Blood" felt that there was nothing wrong with liking someone.

Therefore......

"Tell Yu. Your name. "Eternal Blood" said. Unconsciously, he regained the strange tone of spoken and written language that he had when he first learned lingua franca.

"Linna. Linna? Clemens. Lin Na pondered for a moment, but still reported her fake name. The shoulder injury has healed, and now Linna is seizing every time to regain her strength.

When the masked man heard the surname "Clemens", Lin Na could clearly see that his black eyes shot a complex light. There was a mixture of disbelief, sadness, and rage in his eyes, but he quickly calmed down.

"I see. So it was. …… It turned out to be so! He said in a language that Lin Na didn't understand. Not dwarven, elven, or dragon, nor like any of the dialects that Linna had been exposed to. Feeling agitated, "Eternal Blood" spoke the mother tongue he had brought from Earth.

Lin Na only felt hairy all over her body. From the masked man, he doesn't feel anything related to his devout faith. Is this man really the pastor of the church......? Or is it ......?

"Yu already knows. That being the case......"

Finally, the "Eternal Blood" calmed down a bit. Now, there is only one way to calm one's anger.

"Use your blood to pay tribute to Lijie's soul. I...... I'm going to kill you. ”

Spat out a curse of vengeance from his mouth, Eternal Blood pulled out his secret ritual musket.
