Chapter 851 - 206: Light Sentinel
Xu Kai was in a state that Su Changxing had never seen before, as if he was merging with his surroundings.
"The influence of the position?"
Su Changxing placed the fragments of the Healing Totem around Xu Kai’s body, forming a cross healing aura. Though it couldn’t heal his injuries, it did prevent them from worsening.
Xu Kai’s most severe injury was that his heart was destroyed, pierced from the middle, and due to lack of effective treatment during this time, the wound continued to expand, causing heart function and overall organ failure.
"Is there hope for Master?" Zhu Xin Xue asked again, appearing very anxious.
Su Changxing glanced at her and calmly said:
"In theory, it should be possible. Luckily, he is just a Tier Eight Extraordinary, if his strength were a bit stronger, I might not have any solutions."
High-tier Extraordinary are unaffected by low-tier Mysterious Items, whether negative or positive, including healing effect items.
"To heal his injuries now, one would need to use an extremely powerful Mysterious Item to restore his heart, otherwise it would be futile."
Su Changxing took out a golden dagger from his Pocket Galaxy, its blade transparent, almost ethereal.
[Pandora’s Dagger: Lower Rank B, a Mysterious Item carrying strong curses, Undead Curse, with the price of transferring the target’s injuries to oneself.
It can be used two more times.]
This is a very dangerous Mysterious Item; a moment’s carelessness could lead to your own death. It was something obtained from the Land of Slaughter.
However, this item itself is not very practical, probably only usable against targets much weaker than oneself; otherwise, it brings unimaginable trauma, which could even lead to one’s death.
With a swift motion.
Su Changxing plunged the dagger into Xu Kai’s body, the blade entering the location of the heart, yet causing no harm, instead making the surrounding flesh visibly heal swiftly.
However, simultaneously, Su Changxing’s chest burst with fresh blood, along with his heart being instantly destroyed.
The power of such a curse is hard to fathom.
"Master, are you alright?" Zhu Xin Xue asked worriedly, eyes wide open.
Su Changxing waved his hand, calmly said, "It’s nothing serious; I transferred his injuries to myself. It’s just that my heart is destroyed."
"Just the heart destroyed?" Zhu Xin Xue showed a surprised expression, sizing up Su Changxing, truly unable to see any anomaly on his face, as if nothing had happened.
Su Changxing smiled and nodded, "It will grow back soon, it’s just a minor injury."
His body no longer had fatal weaknesses, and its recovery ability was extremely strong, even able to use faith to stimulate the physical body, constructing a new heart in a very short time.
Next, Xu Kai began to show movement, his originally pale face gradually turning ruddy, his other injuries able to recover due to Extraordinary’s strong physique, merely a matter of time.
After about ten minutes, Xu Kai moved his head, feeling a dizzy spell, then heard Zhu Xin Xue shouting in his ear:
"I think Junior Brother Xu seems to be awake."
Xu Kai had just opened his eyes, seeing a bizarre world, like flesh covering every space, constantly writhing, in addition to countless ghost-like things floating in the sky.
This probably is the feeling of dying, immersed in the void’s emptiness, the spirit gradually disappearing, dissipating into this space.
Next, he saw a being of ten thousand radiant light, only dazzling, accompanied by pain.
"Ah!!!" Xu Kai had just opened his eyes, screamed miserably, struggling constantly on the ground, as if seeing something terrifying, blood seeping from the corner of his eyes.
Zhu Xin Xue looked at Xu Kai’s state, at a loss, not understanding what exactly happened: "Master, what happened to him?"
Su Changxing frowned, seemingly understanding what happened, quickly covered Xu Kai’s eyes with his right hand, and cautioned:
"Don’t open your eyes, much less look at me. First close off your senses."
Upon closing his eyes, Xu Kai’s state improved significantly, ceased struggling, and returned to calm.
A brief silence.
Zhu Xin Xue took a deep breath: "Junior Brother, what’s wrong with him?"
Su Changxing pondered for a while, then answered: "He seems to be in a transparent state, able to see the other side of things, which we cannot see."
"This probably relates to his position, and it’s a very dangerous state; gazing at the Abyss could likely lead to being devoured by it."
The appearance of the world isn’t the most real, like covered by a thin veil, this conceals the real side, a form of protection.
Su Changxing could understand what kind of state he was in now, because he once experienced it himself, though unable to maintain such a state.
Zhu Xin Xue wrapped black cloth around Xu Kai’s eyes: "This should be alright now, but can you see?"
Xu Kai looked down, said: "I can see, just now... I thought I was already dead."
"This perhaps allows me to be reborn, thanks to Chen Qian."
As soon as the words fell, energy waves around him began to surge, the momentum constantly rising.
Xu Kai seemed to be advancing, in a special manner.
Zhu Xin Xue showed a surprised expression, knowing Xu Kai hadn’t obtained the key from the Doomsday Game, yet could advance.
This counts as an incredible thing, like a bird without wings, yet still capable of flying in the sky.
Su Changxing understood why Xu Kai could advance, he was in such a transparent state, not needing a key to directly contact the rules of the Extraordinary system.
It’s practically impossible for others to replicate such a method.
Xu Kai was special, special to the point where Su Changxing knew upon first glance his uniqueness, like a fiery spirit, constantly burning, warming those around.
Perhaps it was destined by fate.
Su Changxing had such a thought flash through his mind.
Some sun-lit rays appeared on Xu Kai’s body, starry specks, faintly visible.
[Light Sentinel: Tier Seven, Extreme Rank, residing in darkness, yet able to see true light, shining like a meteor.]
Xu Kai lifted his black-cloth-wrapped face, looked at Su Changxing, said gravely: "Teacher, I seem to have mastered a powerful force, so powerful it’s difficult for me to control."
Su Changxing shook his head, said calmly: "Since you can possess it, there is certainly a way to control it."
Xu Kai nodded earnestly, always taking Su Changxing’s words seriously and pondering carefully:
"I’ll do my best."
