Chapter 73: Dead, again!
While Xiao Shen, Zhao Xixi and Zhou Lan were down, and before the two Second Level True Arcanist rank Warlocks recovered, Chu Miao hurriedly opened up her spatial magic treasure and brought out a few items. She ran towards Xiao Shen and poured a smooth, but unpleasant liquid down his throat. This liquid was brown in color with a green glow and gave one the impression that it was radioactive sh*t.
It was precisely a healing potion!
Meanwhile, she took out another potion and poured it over Zhou Lan and Zhao Xixi’s twitching bodies. Then, she procured a chain and threw it over the both of them. This chain was a sentient magic treasure that wrapped them both tightly, while the first potion was one that could temporarily seal the mana flow of even an Arcanist of the Third Level Greater Arcanist rank.
As for why she did so, well they were currently very pale and had blue veins crisscrossing their skin, while their eyes had a red glow.
Those were the signs of a Warlock transformation!
Xiao Shen coughed twice and finally stopped twitching. Only then did he manage to read the messages spamming the bullet chat.
[Little witch comes and saves the day!]
[@###, just how strong was that f*cking lightning bolt?!]
[Anchor, I’m sorry! I let my emotion get ahead of my reasoning!]
«[Viewer ###’s mental state is that of extreme guilt, remorse, and traces of gleeful joy.]»
[The other two are still twitching!]
[Just how strong was that lightning bolt?! Even that awful b*tch, ■■■■’s power could not defend against it!]
[If you’re truly sorry, then swear to never attack Anchor with a lightning bolt again!]
[Yeah, what he said!]
[Who is a he, idiot?! I’m ■■■■! A woman!]
[Ahaha...]
«[Viewer ###’s mental state is that of embarrassment.]»
[@###, I agree to your suggestion. Anchor, I swear never to strike you with lightning ever again~ ಥ‿ಥ]
Xiao Shen sighed and shook his head, but he did not say anything.
After all, the lightning bolts were beneficial, but, this was only when they were not targeted at him.
If she swore never to use a lightning bolt to hit him, that was a good thing. He could simply ask her to use it and hit someone else when he was fighting an enemy.
He looked at Chu Miao and gave her a nod. "Uh, thank you very much Fellow Arcanist Chu Miao..."
"There is no problem. We’re friends now, you don’t need to stand on ceremony." Chu Miao smiled and stuck out her tongue.
"Okay." Xiao Shen nodded his head and looked at the two Second Level True Arcanist rank Warlocks. Zhou Lan and Zhao Xixi were still twitching from time to time. From the looks of it, they would soon recover from the lightning strike.
"Oh, I gave them a mana sealing potion!" Chu Miao smiled and pointed at Zhou Lan and Zhao Xixi. "They are Warlocks, right? They came for your high quality mana stone?"
"Indeed." Xiao Shen nodded his head. Then, his gaze turned dark and he grabbed the ordinary sword. "I’ll finish them off now that I have the chance!"
Zhou Lan’s eyes flashed with hatred as he heard Xiao Shen’s words. Even if he was unable to circulate his mana, it did not mean that he was completely powerless!
"Die!!!" He opened his mouth and a beam of energy was fired out of it, hitting Xiao Shen squarely on the chest and sending him flying.
BANG!
"Painful~" Xiao Shen gritted his teeth in pain. His chest area had caved in and his heart had exploded from the pressure!
He coughed out blood from his mouth and tilted his head.
Xiao Shen was dead, again!
Tian Hua: "..."
Chu Miao: "....."
The two of them were completely shocked.
Zhao Xixi also opened her mouth to shoot a beam of energy at Chu Miao, while Zhou Lan shot one at Tian Hua.
Chu Miao swiftly made a dodge, grabbing Tian Hua and helping her evade the beam. However, as they landed in another position, the two Warlocks turned their heads and smiled.
BANG!
A large explosion suddenly shook the forest, killing everyone present...
***
"To think I died again, just like that!" Xiao Shen felt the urge to facepalm. As usual, he first thought about the things that had happened earlier and came up with ways to counter them.
"I’ll just need to dodge that damned beam and lop off their heads!" Xiao Shen nodded his inexistent head to himself.
He had no apprehension towards killing these people as they had now killed him twice!
Had they touched Tian Hua, then he would have been shameless and blatantly begged for some cool power ups to completely pulverize them both!
There was a saying that ignorance was bliss~
Xiao Shen sighed once more and reached out his hand to touch the clock closest to himself. Then, he paused and frowned. His hand changed direction under the immense pressure that felt like thousands of swords piercing his soul and touched a clock farther away from his position. "Painful! So painful!!!"
As usual, upon touching the clock, the entire realm and the spiral of myriad clocks all stopped moving for a few seconds, only to start moving in reverse.
***
Likewise, in the real world, the explosion suddenly froze and shrank until it became a spark that vanished. Chu Miao grabbed Tian Hua once more and returned to their previous position, while the beam of energy returned to Zhao Xixi’s mouth. Xiao Shen’s body flew back alongside another energy beam that returned to Zhou Lan’s mouth. However, this Xiao Shen’s body had dull and listless eyes.
This Xiao Shen then sat back down on the ground, before proceeding to lay down and twitch with spasms due to the lightning. The two Warlocks also did the same, and Chu Miao and Tian Hua retreated their steps, going back to the bushes. The five lightning bolts flew back into the sky and Zhou Lan and Zhao Xixi both took an attacking stance once more.
Xiao Shen’s eyes regained their luster as he returned to his body.
So I returned to this time...
He thought as he turned smoothly turned his body, allowing the two Warlocks attacking him to miss by a hair’s breadth. He swiftly grabbed Tian Hua’s small waist and held her close to himself as he rolled over, escaping the range of the incoming lightning bolt.
"Tsk, stay one place and die!" Zhao Xixi shouted. At the same time, the clouds rumbled and five lightning bolts crashed down at them.
BANG!
