WTYTIAAN Chapter 263

Yan Yunqing spent several days traveling from the faction war zone to Freedom City, unlike before when he spent a full three months just traveling back and forth between Sigrid Academy and Freedom City.

With his current level, he could cut the journey in half if he traveled at full speed, taking only about three days.

Especially since he had Theodore by his side, with Theodore’s strength, the speed of travel would only be faster, not slower.

After spending nearly two days, when Yan Yunqing arrived at Loresel City, the first bad news he received didn’t come from little Yuri, but from Merlin and Isabel.

“What?” Yan Yunqing’s heart skipped a beat. “Merlin and Isabel are seriously injured and unconscious?”

Beros’s gaze swept over Theodore behind Yan Yunqing almost imperceptibly, a dark look flashing in his eyes, but he didn’t say much.

Divic looked very bad and nodded to Yan Yunqing, “To be precise, Isabel was seriously injured first. Merlin noticed it and rushed over to save Isabel, but before he could explain what happened after returning, they both fainted together.”

Yan Yunqing felt the seriousness of the matter.

Merlin was a human, able to live to this day purely by relying on the so-called curse, which bound him and Isabel together. From then on, the two shared their lifespans, truly living and dying together.

Isabel was seriously injured, and Merlin also fainted, which could only mean that Isabel’s injuries were so severe that she was close to death, which affected the bound Merlin.

“Take me to see them.” Yan Yunqing decided.

Divic nodded and led the way. Yan Yunqing followed without saying a word. Theodore, who was behind him, followed closely, but Beros, who was lagging behind, stepped forward and blocked his way.

Theodore silently looked at Beros, his indifferent face still expressionless, showing little emotional fluctuation.

Beros narrowed his eyes and suddenly smiled at Theodore, his tone frivolous: “Theodore – Archangel Lord, long time no see, you look much more embarrassed!”

Beros’s gaze fell on Theodore’s scarred wings, his tone carrying a hint of mockery, “I remember you before – weren’t you all high and mighty? Why are you now like a dog, eagerly approaching?”

Theodore was silent for a while, seeing that Yan Yunqing was about to leave his sight, he couldn’t help but feel a little anxious. He rarely showed emotional expressions to outsiders – frowning unhappily: “What do you want to say?”

Beros twitched the corner of his mouth, “I thought you still disdained to talk to us little things -”

Theodore interrupted him, sidestepped past Beros who was blocking the way, and coldly left a sentence: “If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first.”

Beros:?

Beros turned his head in disbelief, and found that Theodore had rushed out a long way in an instant, as if he had teleported, and had already followed Yan Yunqing into the house.

A hint of coldness flashed in Beros’s eyes, and he almost crushed his teeth. This was completely different from the profound and unpredictable appearance he showed in front of his subordinates in 『Crimson Mist』. If a fangirl appeared now, she would definitely be able to say in one word the attribute that Beros instantly gained when he saw Theodore: a grumpy and jealous husband.

Yan Yunqing ignored the small frictions between Beros and Theodore, and followed Divic to the room where Merlin and Isabel were placed. As Divic said, the two were in a coma.

Yan Yunqing first opened Merlin’s personal panel, and saw the debuff [Backlash] added to the status bar, confirming that Merlin was indeed forced into a coma due to the binding.

Then this was not a big problem, as long as Isabel’s serious injuries were resolved, Merlin would wake up.

Yan Yunqing turned to look at Isabel’s panel, and ten debuffs instantly popped up on the status bar, several of which were related to undead magic, and the most conspicuous was [Near Death].

Because Isabel’s level was high enough, her HP bar was very thick, but she couldn’t withstand continuous HP loss. Yan Yunqing watched helplessly as Isabel’s thick HP bar was dropping visibly.

Yan Yunqing frowned, he turned to look at Theodore who had come in, “The filth on Isabel’s body, can you cleanse it?”

Yes, Isabel was stained with the filth belonging to demons. He didn’t know what she had encountered, but the injuries on her body were a mess, debuffs appeared one after another, and it even seemed that she wasn’t injured by the same person.

And the reason why Isabel was constantly losing HP was because of this filth.

And the light attribute that angels naturally possessed was the nemesis of demons, and Theodore was the only one present who could deal with this thing.

Theodore approached and observed after hearing this, hesitating: “I’m not sure I can cleanse it, the aura on her body is too chaotic, she may not be able to withstand my power.”

The process of cleansing filth was not easy, it was like cutting away a piece of rotten flesh to be reborn. Theodore’s cleansing was very rough, and Isabel looked too weak at the moment. It was hard to say whether the filth would be cleared first, or she would die first.

As for letting Theodore use light healing magic – sorry, angels had no talent in this area, especially Theodore.

Angels were famous for their outstanding combat power, Theodore was the best of them, and he had a strong self-healing ability, but he basically didn’t know anything about healing magic.

Yan Yunqing was silent. He opened his skill list. He still had the healing skill that Sylph had given him. Sylph’s healing skill could definitely heal Isabel’s injuries, but the wood attribute skill couldn’t remove the filth on Isabel’s body.

He wasn’t sure whether the filth on her body would worsen or penetrate into her bones after this skill healed Isabel, and it might be too late to remove it then – after all, according to what Yan Yunqing knew, the fundamental logic of the existence of demons was to constantly devour vitality.

In terms of vitality, could there be anything stronger than Sylph’s healing skills?

Yan Yunqing was caught in a dilemma for a while.

Isabel definitely had to be saved, but how to save her to ensure that she would be safe, this was a problem.

Divic, who had been waiting silently, looked at Isabel with her eyes closed, and couldn’t help but reveal a bit of worry in his expression.

Yan Yunqing frowned and thought of a way. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration appeared, and he rummaged in his backpack and took out the [Source Stone of Life] that he had obtained after completing [Sean’s Wish].

This [Source Stone of Life] could resurrect the deceased, so it shouldn’t be a problem to save the dying Isabel, right?

Yan Yunqing didn’t use it immediately, he still had some hesitation.

It wasn’t that he was reluctant to use this resurrection item, mainly because the effect of this [Source Stone of Life] was uncertain. Judging from the name, it seemed to be full of vitality, and Yan Yunqing wasn’t sure whether the effect after using this [Source Stone of Life] would be similar to Sylph’s skill.

Wouldn’t that be back to the original problem, what if the filth got deeper and deeper?

Of course, he could also let Theodore cleanse the filth on Isabel’s body first, so that Isabel, who had been cleansed, could be resurrected through the [Source Stone of Life] whether she was dead or dying.

Then the problem came again, Yan Yunqing wasn’t sure whether the [Source Stone of Life] could really resurrect the deceased. What if there were any conditions that restricted its use, then Isabel would really die.

Yan Yunqing felt a headache, but seeing Isabel’s HP bar drop a lot again, he gritted his teeth and made a decision.

“Theodore, try to cleanse Isabel’s filth first.” Yan Yunqing said in a deep voice.

He pinched the [Source Stone of Life], and at the same time opened the skill panel, dragged out the healing skill that Theodore had given him, and prepared for a two-pronged approach.

Theodore always agreed with Yan Yunqing’s words, stretched out his hand and hovered it above Isabel’s wound, and the light element surrounded and condensed along Theodore’s hand, like a beast devouring its prey, pouncing on the filth on Isabel’s body.

At the moment Theodore started, Yan Yunqing began to stare at Isabel’s panel, especially paying attention to the HP bar. From the moment Theodore condensed the light element, Isabel’s HP bar fell like a free-fall machine, and the speed was so fast that Yan Yunqing couldn’t help but gasp.

Theodore paused, and the movement in his hand not only didn’t slow down, but accelerated.

Rather than cutting meat with a blunt knife, it was better to quickly clear it all at once.

At that moment, Isabel showed Yan Yunqing what was called the HP Bar Disappearing Technique.

Yan Yunqing’s spirit was also tense with Isabel’s gradually emptying HP bar, and the healing skill was ready to be released.

Theodore seemed to be very skilled in removing filth, and he removed all the filth in just three minutes, and Isabel’s HP bar was only 21 points left, which was basically enough to die suddenly if she scratched her skin.

Yan Yunqing released the large healing technique [Blessing of Serinval] that Sylph had left him the moment Theodore stopped.

[Blessing of Serinval]

Description: This is a blessing from Serinval, or so its master said. (All negative states of all friendly units within ten meters are negated, all states are restored to their original state, and a thirty-second invincible shield is obtained.)『I will bear all your suffering and pain in the future, may you be safe and happy.』

The skill Sylph left him could only be used three times, but this skill was powerful enough to not only remove negative states and provide a thirty-second invincible shield, but most importantly, it was a group heal.

Yan Yunqing had been reluctant to use it before, but now facing Isabel’s near death, this skill was the best choice.

As long as the filth was removed, with this skill, Isabel would not die.

As expected, after the skill was used, Yan Yunqing felt a familiar force pouring down like sweet rain.

Not only did Isabel’s injuries recover instantly, but even the unhealed ‘self-harm’ wounds on Theodore’s body beside her also healed.

Theodore was stunned, “This?”

Yan Yunqing thought Theodore wanted to ask why Sylph had returned to the Mother Tree, but there were still his skills left, so he casually explained: “I went to Serinval for something before, and met Sylph more than a thousand years ago there.”

“It is said that a time tunnel was established through the Elf Mother Tree, and I briefly came to the future, and left me a few skills by the way.”

Yan Yunqing said without blushing or panting, as if Sylph really just tried to come to the future and left him a few skills ‘by the way’.
