441 Angel VS Void Beast (2)
Azrael was wounded, however it wasn’t something value worrying about. Together with his therapeutic skill, the wound ought to vanish ultimately.
“…?”
Nonetheless, my expectations could not be extra fallacious. The wound on Azrael’s facet began to show black, identical to with Ember’s wound, and as quickly because it did, its therapeutic additionally halted.
“No means!”
Does this imply wounds inflicted by the Void Beast are unimaginable to heal?!
I rapidly turned to Ember and noticed that her face was nonetheless stuffed with chilly sweat. She was clearly in ache however was specializing in her process to “bless” the swords as a substitute. As anticipated, she hasn’t healed her personal accidents both!
“Ember!”
With out hesitation, I forcefully activated the particular perform of the system, the System’s Guardian Halo. I assume my tampering with the setting of solely activating for a life-or-death-level harm backfired on me grandly. Up to date from novelbIn.(c)om
In moments, a golden flash coated Ember’s physique. Her lacking left arm and the encroaching black pores and skin on her rapidly disappeared.
“Ugh…”
Nonetheless, the value to pay for it was fairly hefty. Ember was already a God-level tamed beast, so her activating Guardian’s Halo gurgled tons of my vitality. Moreover, it was greater than what I anticipated!
Was the factor encroaching on her wound that dangerous?
I turned to Azrael and noticed that, no less than, the encroaching black factor on him wasn’t spreading anymore. He should’ve carried out one thing to cease its progress, however attributable to that, his response pace and motion have been significantly slowed.
Their roles have been turned the wrong way up, as now Azrael was on the defensive!
‘At this fee, he’ll get pushed to a nook and fail!’
Having no different selection, I stepped up.
I grabbed one of many three swords and rushed ahead. Though its blessing hasn’t been accomplished but, it ought to nonetheless have some impact!
Though I attempted to catch as much as them, the 2 have been shifting so quick and unpredictably that I could not even begin to guess the place they’d be the subsequent prompt. I activated Lifeblood, making an attempt to spice up my cognitive pace, simply to have the ability to observe the 2 giants’ actions.
“There!”
Lastly, the 2 moved near the place I used to be. I jumped utilizing [Shadow Teleportation] and appeared on the Void Beast’s again. Then, with a big, winding movement, I swung the sword in opposition to its again.
*CHIIIIING!*
The sword could not go previous the shell, however it nonetheless prompted a small dent in it. The barrier across the Void Beast shivered for a second, and Azrael noticed it as an opportunity.
*SLAM!*
He swung his sword horizontally, and making the most of the shell’s fluctuation, he minimize by the half that turned skinny for an prompt. His sword lastly reached the Void Beast’s physique!
Flames transferred from the blade towards the Void Beast’s physique and slowly unfold from the wound, identical to the black factor on Azrael’s facet. The Void Beast did not let it final any longer and rapidly waved its claws, pushing Azrael outdoors of vary.
“Whoa!”
As quickly because it pushed again Azrael, the Void Beast turned its head in my route earlier than firing one other beam from its mouth. I used to be stunned by the sudden assault, however I did not panic. Utilizing [Shadow Teleportation], I moved towards Azrael’s facet, gaining a big protect within the course of.
Nonetheless, there isn’t any time to waste on ready. I rapidly used [Shadow Teleportation] as soon as extra and appeared below his shadow. The 2 have been shifting quickly, so it was fairly a harmful location for somebody like me.
I rapidly moved up Azrael’s physique, cautious to not fall off, and at last reached his shoulder. After repeating my supply to him, Azrael glanced at me for a second. I took his gesture as a sure and rapidly activated the System’s perform, putting Azrael below my management.
[Notice! Initiating contracting through the Faux Contract… Success.]
[Warning! The contracted monster is beyond the System’s Control. Penalty will be applied for the duration of the contract.]
[Contract formed! Contract expires in 0 hours, 9 minutes, and 55 seconds.]
“…!”
The contract did succeed, however it’s merely 10 minutes whole! I used to be secretly hoping to achieve a beyond-god-level tamed monster and drag him round, however like this, I would not even have the ability to lengthen his Fake Contract past this battle.
Anyway, I rapidly activated the System’s Guardian Halo and designated Azrael because the goal. Instantly, a blinding flash of golden gentle coated his complete physique, therapeutic him totally and even erasing the encroachment that was creeping throughout his wound.
“Sh*t…”
However proper after I did that, my imaginative and prescient spun, and I nearly fell from Azrael’s shoulder. It had been fairly some time since I felt like this. My vitality was virtually emptied in a single go!
Though I can maintain my consciousness with sheer will, it is onerous to even increase my sword anymore. I would wish to get better a little bit of my vitality first earlier than I might resume preventing.
I grabbed a small vial of vitality restoration potion from my pocket. It was there just for emergencies once I did not even have sufficient to open my [Spatial Storage] or to teleport away to security.
As quickly as I emptied the bottle’s contents into my mouth, vitality began to assemble deep inside my physique. It was gradual, however I used to be recovering from the vitality deficiency state. However earlier than I might get better sufficient to maneuver, the 2 large’s actions turned so much brisker.
I hung tight on Azrael’s garments, resting on his shoulder, and bided my time.
“(Grasp!)”
And simply as I used to be about to fall off, I heard Ember’s voice echoing inside my head. Turning to the place they have been, I noticed the 2 swords, coated in a thick layer of Void Energy, prepared for battle.
“Good!”
I rapidly squeezed my remaining vitality and used [Shadow Skip]. Due to the darkish clouds, I might attain the place the 2 women have been in a single go, saving vitality through the course of.
As quickly as I reached Ember’s facet, she handed me an Vitality Restoration Potion of the best grade. As anticipated of her, she actually is aware of what I want.
I took the vial and popped the cork, downing its contents in moments.
In contrast to a budget one I took, through which the one saving grace was its extraordinarily lengthy shelf life, this one was a number of instances more practical. Vitality began to hurry again into my physique, recovering sufficient to renew preventing at any second!
“Ember, the swords!”
I prolonged my hand, and Ember rapidly handed the 2 “blessed” swords to me. Holding one in every hand, I turned to the place the Void Beast was and smiled.
“Now, let’s have a look at who’ll have the final snigger!”
Lots occurred right now, and I am too drained to separate it into two chapters…
Sorry for the lengthy chapter.
